The Hobart Herald 169 T h e athletic teams all get a week off. W h y should not the members o f the musical clubs ? You object that they do not represent the college so well. Our athletic teams do cover a greater area than the musical clubs to be sure, but do they so actively enlist the sympathies o f the p eople ? The spectators see the men on the field and admire their playing, their good appearance, and manly qualities. The audiences listening to the musical clubs do the same, but they do more. T h e y learn to know the men by meeting them and entertaining them. In this way the men on the musical clubs com e into closer touch with people, and can show what kind of m en we h a v e at Hobart. Then too the musical clubs present one of the nicest and most capti vating phases of college life— a phase that cannot help appealing to the high school boys who are about to enter college. For these reasons w e do not see why the same amount of cuts are not allowed to the musical clubs as to the athletic teams. W e all know Geneva is a windy town. But if per- Reading chance we happened to forget it all we had to do Room. was to step into the college club room and see the leaves all over the room. Not leaves from the trees, but leaves from Life, Tuck, Judge , etc. It seemed as if a cyclone h a d been turned loose in the reading room. I f you desired to read a magazine you first had to c lear away the debris to find the periodical and then you had to evacuate the ruins of papers to find a seat. T h e wind blowed ju s t as hard last year but no such thing happened ! W hat is the cause of it this year ? When w e returned after vacation w e found, much to our surprise, that the rubbish had been cleared aw a y . But unless the magazines are arranged every morning the same chaos will result. It is a shame to have t o show a stranger into such a looking room as we saw before Christmas. We sincerely hope that in the future the neatness and order which prevailed last year may be restored permanently.
