THE "BEST EVER" HABIT.
There is a tendency to rate every
passing event in student life as the
"best ever." Tis is discredited rath-
er generally, but it is particularly ob-
jectionable to men who have been on
the campus for a number of years.
They claim, quite reasonably perhaps,
that such a monotone of comment re-
sults in losing all sense of values; the
worst is as good asthe best, as far as
advance predictions and follow-up
criticism are concerned. Nothing is
described in its true colors, because
pr~aise is la.vished on everything,
13ut there seems to be some excuse
for the "best ever" habit. Its optimis-
tic tone is almost a justification in it-
self. It is a healthy symptom when
the campus in general enthuses over
anything, so it is somewhat pardon-
able for individuals to enter into this
spirit, or even for them to work stren-
uously in order to stimulate such an
atmosphere. The inexcusable thing
seems to be dampening undergraduate
enthusiasm; over-extravagance in
commendation is a minor sin.
With early shopping methods in, full
force, the late hinter is likely to get a
bopk where he wanted a shiny silk hat.
Tags are now being printed to be
worn by university women during the
days of the vocational conference,
January 7, 8 and 9, and the programs,
many of which will be sent to the state
colleges interested in the movement,
will go to press within a few days.
Albion is the latest to fall in line,
having asked that it be permitted to
send a representatix-e.
The civil service commission at
Washington has forwarded literature
valuable to women interested in that
field, which is now available in the
library at Barbour gymnasium. Names
and addresses of Washington alumnae
who are willing to act as advisers to
university women planning on enter-
ing the civil service may be obtained
fromn Marjorie Delavan, '15.
The four large Kermess posters,
drawn by Raymond Perlins, '16, are
on sale at $2.00 apiece by Ruth Cran-
dall, '15.
Members of the Girls' Glee club will
meet at Rentschler's at 10:00 o'clock
Saturday, January 9, for the annual
picture, instead of at the time previ-
ously set.

The first odd-even basketball game

Part of the regular gymnasium peri-
ods today and. on January' 6 will be

these days.
Omega Phi meets at 4:30 o'clock to-

The Women's League suggests that

shown in the work.
