THREE BELLS BUT ALL ISN’T WELL
   Speaking of coincidences would it not be a delightful happenstance if the University bell were to ring, the City hall clock were to strike, and St. Mary’s bell were to chime all at the same moment and for the same hour? Such co-operation would equal that in the old tale of childhood days when “the cows began to give the milk, the rope began to hang the butcher, and the dog began to bite the pig.” Thus through united efforts justice was meted out and everything ended happily.
   In the classroom, the tardy student always has a gilt edge excuse. The clock was wrong. He can slink into any lecture or concert in the midst of it. The clock was wrong. He can keep his “date” fuming half an hour. The clock was wrong. He can establish habits of perpetual tardiness. The clock was wrong.
   University time should control University students, someone with a failing for argumentation, remarks. Yes, but two blocks distant the bell can hardly be heard in competition with grinding trucks and exploding motorcycles. Then the library clock is five minutes slow, or fast, we never can recall. The clock in the liberal arts hall stops at strange hours. Uniformity in time throughout the University simply isn’t the fad these days.
   Action must be taken. A Committee on Clock Regulation, after having remedied the discrepancies within the borders of the University, should be sent by the institution to confer with the town council and representatives of St. Mary’s Parish. Or janitors should meet and settle the matter by arbitration.
   A league should be formed, under specific covenants, for the purpose of preventing one group, be it educational, civic or religious from getting ahead of the other in the matter of time. They must not be separated in this interest or divided in this purpose. They must stand together until the end of TIME.

THE HOUSE PEST
   The individual exist whose main object in life is to annoy his associates.
   Reference is made to the “pest” who invades the rooms of serious-minded students and sits, and sits, and sits, chattering like a magpie when the poor victim has eleven pages of French to translate and an hour in which to accomplish the feat.
   Longing glances from the text book to the clock and from the clock to the text book are wasted on the intruder. He fails to realize that some people are in the University for a purpose. What a grand and glorious feeling it is to bang the door on his heels as he leaves the room after consuming just forty-five minutes of the student’s valuable time.
   If you are in that class, get out of it. Respect the rights of your fellow-students; by so doing you will command the respect of them. A house pest is as unpopular as a pest house.

STUDENTS TO BE GARDNERS
Vegetables Will Be Raised Behind the Green House This Spring
   Garden vegetables will be cultivated in a small plot of land behind the greenhouse of the old science building this spring by a class of students who are taking a course in practical botany under Prof. Bohumil Shimek.
   If sufficient manual labor can be secured from the University, a larger field may be planted with fresh vegetables, which will be used to supply the University hospital.
   The crop planted in the lowlands on the west bank of the river last spring was totally lost because of the high water, but it is hoped that this year’s garden may be more successful.

PROF. HAYNES TO SPEAK
   Prof. F.E. Haynes is to speak at the World Problems forum tonight on “Social Revolution: Can We Avoid it?” This is the last of the discussion of the general topic Social Democracy. Political reconstruction and the problems of the League of Nations will be discussed at successive meetings.
   The forum meet at the Y.M.C.A. each Thursday night from 7 to 7:30.

FORENSIC COUNCIL TO MEET
   Women’s Forensic council will meet at 4 o’clock today in room 115 liberal arts. Every member must be present. By order of the president.
