Last week a young Stetson Loch-j invar had a squabble with his lady; love. In search of comfort and! reason he went to Dean Smith andl told him of his woe. When the dean finally got to the bottom he found- that the entire matter could have been avoided had the fellow just mailed his letter a little earlier. This has been the experience of many on the campus, due to lack of knowing the time the mail goes out. The man referred to above mailed his letter at eight o'clock in the evening and, thinking it would start to its destination immediately, went his way rejoicing.

Two budding psychologists, Connie MacRae and Clifford Ryerson who have constructed a maze tor experimenting with the learning speed of white rats, gave a demonstration in Dr. B. F. Ezell's general psychology course; Tuesday. The white rats, a male and a female, proved to be very cooperative, although rather dumb at first. They learned the three different patterns of the maze as well as could be expeced in the three weeks of the experiment— probably rating a grade of "C" No difference was discernible between the speed of the male and female, except that the lady was a little shy as was quite, proper.
