A student dormitory to be erected on the land purchased by the Union board. A continuance of the Better Lighting program within the University. THURSDAY, January 6, 1938 Resolution-NO W! W ITH the publication Of the first Mar- quette Tribune of 1938, the new year is exactly one week old. Already the novelty of a new year has worn off and stu- dents are quietly going about the every-day business of living. A few are carrying on with lofty resolutions and firm purposes, but the most of us are merely going from day to day, meeting life's individual problems as they present themselves. A set of hard and fast rules often is not to the best interest of the rule maker because changing circumstances makes flexibility necessary. However, one rule or resolution that all Marquetters can and should make with inflexible purpose is to apply themselves to their studies in the short two and one-half weeks that remain before final examinations. For most of us, the holidays were a glorious series of good times with slight thought devoted to school work. This respite was the purpose of vacation. If the vacation letdown continues through the next few weeks, however, there will be a sorry group of grades going home and a depleted attendance next semester. So make a resolution NOW to finish that term paper, bring that notebook up to date and hand in those back assignments. Then when time comes for a review of the semester's work you will be able to review instead of spending valuable time making up class work. Teachers are quite willing to play ball with the student when the student cooperates. However, a large number of "cuts" and a scarcity of assignments together with inattention during class are already stacking the cards against you. So if you are behind in your work, go to your professor and talk with him and then fulfill every promise you make to him and every request he makes of you. You will then be laying a firmer foundation for a better year at Marquette. But it is necessary to begin NOW. W.P.McC. Buy Marquette! T HE Marquette basketball team is no longer on its way back to top-ranking among the nation's great fives; it has arrived. Once again Marquette fans may proudly refuse to grant odds or concede vic- tory to any opponent. Of course no team is unbeatable. Nor could we claim that Marquette will not taste further defeat. Memory of the Chicago and Northwestern games eliminates any such worthless prophecy. The game of basketball depends too much on human elements, on mood, spirit, nervous condition, stamina, individual and collective coordination, all of which vary greatly from one game to the next. But Marquette's squad is possessed of enough ability that it will stand an equal chance of victory or defeat against any collegiate opposition in the country today. Yet the basketball team is far from the peak of its perfection. That was amply proved in the Iowa game by the wild passes and shots. As usual Marquette students maintain the same lackadaisical attitude in moments of triumph as in less fortunate times. The cheering remains sluggish, disjointed, weak. It is easy to climb on the bandwagon for a winning team, but it seems that Marquette undergraduates are too intellectual, perhaps, to stoop to any uncouth display of enthusiasm and appreciation. Then, too, seating facilities are extremely inadequate. The only possible solution, besides erecting a new gym, is to hold games at the Auditorium. This is not always practical or even possible, due to the fact that it raises prices. When games are held at the Auditorium another problem arises-that of apportioning seats to the students. The most crying need in this respect is for a unified student section in a generally better locality. Perhaps we might even plead for what are known as "choice" seats. After all, the student body is the really Marquette-minded spectators and it is wrong to sell them short. Students must have good seats anyway, so why not put them all together? In the past, so-called student sections have been liberally sprinkled with adults to whom students sell their tickets. If the students want cooperation from the ticket office they must not abuse the privileges they already have. 15 Years Ago From the Tribune Files Early in January of the Year 1923 I N WHAT was described as the "fastest battle ever witnessed on the Madison floor," Marquette defeated Wisconsin in basketball, 9-8. At the half, Marquette led 6-4. The defense in the second half was con- sidered airtight and "not a player was able to work the ball within shooting distance of the basket for eight minutes, so strong was the defensive work of both teams." Marquette "rolled up" 23 points against DePauw's 16 and defeated Augustana of Rock Island, Ill., 11-8 during the Christmas holidays. The Marquette Journal scheduled an extra edition to contain the scientific papers written in connection with the Louis Pasteur and Gregor Mendel centennial celebration conducted at Marquette. Shortly after publication of the number, the Journal was coming out with the regular issue containing contributions from the student body. John Drew, famous actor appearing at the Davidson theater in "The Circle," recommended college training for the aspiring actor. "As an education assists in any line of endeavor, so it does on the stage," he said. "But above all, to become an actor, the person must have the gift of the dramatic within him." Mr. Drew exhibited great pride in his Barrymore nephews, and described John as the perfect Hamlet. Eddie Plantz, star right halfback on the 1917 team, and Eddie Meyer, the speedy right end on the same team and veteran of three years, were called into the United States Aviation Corps and reported at Urbana, Ill., Jan. 5. Coach Jack Ryan, mentor of football and basketball teams, was recovering from an appendicitis operation. Ryan was rushed to the hospital when he was stricken by an accute attack. Around the Campus Good taste requires that words describing the activities of Hilltoppers on New Year's eve shall not be printed in this pillar. To wit: "Anything that happens on New Year's eve is libelous-when printed." So the next best thing is done. The resolutions of Marquetters for 1938, gathered from confidential snoopers, follow: "I promise to have my chiffon tux cleaned for the Holly ball. (A subtle hint, coeds)." Ed Farrington "I hereby resolve to stop plagiarizing Wauwatosa News reporters." Lefty Roesler "I will do my best to be a good queen at the Mount Mary prom." John Manning "I plan to take out a second-class mailing permit to save postage to Detroit." Ruth Timble "I will resign as president of Local 23, Apple Glossers union." Carl Schmidt "I will stop all rumors to the effect that I can cook delicious tuiti-fruiti cake." Bill (Andres the Cookie) Elsen "I promise not to throw bones in Journalism floats in the future." Ted (I'm No) Angel "I resolve to use my 'pull' when I enter my profession." Jim (Dentist) Cahlamer "I wanna be in Winchell's column." E. Gaius Johannes "I will refuse to knit any more sweaters." Jane Van Roo "I resolve not to ride horses in Montana without cowboy assistance (not the drug store variety, either.)" Pat DeWain "I resolve to learn how to start an automobile." Ruth Johnson "I hope to grow a mustache that will give me that desired professional appearance of an M.D." Joe Megna "I resolve to quit razzing the boys at football banquets-the freshmen coming up are too ough." Tarz Taylor "I promise to continue the campaign to break machine politics." Bob Jones "I resolve to take a deep interest in the Michigan Street engine house." Dorothy Koepcke "I solemnly promise to part my hair in the middle next year." Coach Jennings "Me, too, if I have any left after the basketball season." Coach Chandler "Herewith let it be known that I hereby do solemnly swear to find a friend this year." Obvious "I promise to take deep breathing exercises every morning so that I can yell more at basketball games." Ruth Keane "I resolve to be home nights when long distance calls to Racine are expected." Mildred Larson "I resolve to fix the radiator (it's leaking again!) in the news room." Jim (Engineer) Hogan "I promise to be a good boy so that Santa will bring me some more tracks for my new train next Christmas.' Earl Bach "I will make carbon copies of my Business Law briefs for my classmates. Louie Bohn "I resolve to smile when people say, 'We think you're wonderful'." Miss Thome "During 1938 I will not autograph eggs for any sorority pledges." Doc Younce "I will limit my locker partners to five during 1938." Marcelle Prudell "We resolve to read the basketball rule book." Intramural Referees "I will refuse to discuss the marriage question in my classes in the future-it gets too involved." Doc Mundie "I will answer the question, 'Where's George?' to the best of my ability." Margaret Anders "I hope to toss more touchdown passes next season." Bill (Minute Man) Staffeld "I resolve to stop blushing when hugged- in basketball games." Don (Romeo) Glatz "I will decline to pick the "winners" in future Marquette athletic encounters." Leo (Sports Mirror) Kissel "I will wear calks on my shoes to prevent future falls on the ice." Father Keegan No more girls for me-but just as many." Joe (Strongheart) Gresik "I resolve to answer the question, 'Where's George?' to the best of my ability." Margaret Anders RAY HANSEN NOTICE! We appreciate the sentiment, but win the person who sent our son Lester a rat for Christmas please take it back He (the rat) has become subject to severe fits of melancholia. -The Langer Family VERSE AND WORSE * * Coed No. 1: "Are you going to the Holh I baU?" Ditto No. 2: "I'll say I ain't. When I fa. 1 vited my boy friend he didn't even offer fa I pay for the ticket." * * * Truer words were never spoken I Than "resolutions are made to be broken'' I But when '37 took its bow, Joe College sternly declared. "I vow-." I And our little birdie was there to hear What each resolved for this new year: 1 I resolve that in '38 Political harmony I'll bring By announcing to one and all I don't aspire to be Prom king. j -E. Gaius Johannes I Football wasn't made for me, So throughout the coming year, I'll forget 'bout guards and ends In favor of this guy Shakespeare. -Tarz Taylor * We shall do our bit to save This little M. U. group so fine, The answer to a maiden's prayer, I Our new-found friend, the Combine.

-Kappa Betel * As a Girl Scout I was taught That spreading cheer is endless; And so I shall continue I To befriend the friendless. j -Betty Strubing I I'm turning a new leaf right now, Of censoring I've had my fill; Hereafter it'll be "O. K.," Not "delete," or "cut" or "kill." -Ted Carpenter I (O yeah!-Ted) * * * I SOLVED! Imbued with the spirit of living, the liie every party, that gay, blithe little lad, o*

Joseph Kneeland, was always character!* by his happy, carefree air. And as the men Christmas season approached, our Joe i* even more joyous than ever before. It is 1! tie wonder, then, that the campus aghast, aye astounded, even surprised 1 Joe's crestfallen demeanor since re^urnirf* from the holiday sojourn. Thereupon, secret agent, Peeping Patricia, took it upo*l herself to investigate this unheralded altert'l tion. And the mystery was fathomed t*

other day when said operative, peering Joe's shoulder, perceived him concocting fljI his noiseless Remington: Oft' times I think my bliss complete, And clap my hands with glee! (O joy) i. But then a sadness fills my soul f To spoil this ecstacy. I find my eyes are wet with tears; j I pause in pensive mood. My thoughts are now despondent ones; I bow my head and brood. ! At night the awful truth returns I To wake me with a start. An icy sweat stands on my brow, j And panic grips my heart. I You ask me why these haunted night*- I Just what could be the cause? It's happened since this wretch found out I There ain't no Santy Claus. * I Bye-
