 considerable foreboding, not to mention trepidation,
that I rush in like a damphool angel where fools have already trod,
or to be mora exact, tripped the light fantastic ego. After so
much philosophizing by sundry personages who seem to be acutely
afflicted with philosophy, mine own vulgar expression may be,
he sages put it, the "nuts."
There was a time when I thought that a deep philosophy of
life was a necessary adjunct for a young man who attained the
incredible grandeur of membership in the Athenaeum, but now
I find that philosophy is not nearly so needful as the two bits for
the slick dime it takes to buy a glass of three
centum of alcohol. After all, the anatomical
perfection of a pretzel,has a more saline perfection than the music
Just take a pretzel (that is what- the barkeep     .
pretzel is a piece of otherwise irreproachable dough that learned
the Fanchon and Marco style of contortion business while it was
young and unformed.   Has n pretzel any philosophy? Patently
What the hell would a pretzel do with a philosophy?
Picture the sordidness of a pretzel's existence.   All day long
a in a bowl shuddering every time a customer bellies up to
jar.   Finally it meets a somewhat mixed fate when it ace
5S a number of malt bubbles in a hymeneal chorus.
A pretzel has no love life worth  speaking of,  even  at
nse of a split infinitive.   Some authorities claim that thi
because of the pretzel's ungainly and deformed  appearance,
te to believe that this is the real reason, fdr, if it w
persons who are not so handsome as the pretzel, in
respect other than that of crust, would face a loveless future.
But without beer, the pretzel is a dry subject.   And I, for
would rather talk about blondes who are good subjects with
.ithout beer.   The philosophy of blondes is a deep and uncharted sea full of shoals and devious channels of uncertain direct-
It is for this reason that you always find blondes marked
by a flock of buoys.   In hotels these are bell buoys, but
sy are just some of the buoys.    Lighthouse keepers are fond
blondes and blondes rarely do more than light housekeeping.
If you find you can wade through a blonde's philosophy, you
sd have no more worries. You'll have callouses if you run after
mdes, and be calloused if blondes run after you.
In the ultimate, when it come3 to philosophy, pick
lich is most painless—be a practical Hedonist (look t
up)—and you won't go far wrong.

The annual freshman   reception is a thing of the past for
one more year, and this morning
several students have a new
ception of social life a"t Fn
State College.   For   some,   last
night's dance and reception «
a    -glorious     experience; f,
others,   perhaps'a little   disappointing. Some conscientious effort should be expended by student leaders, directed to the end
of finding a suitable method of
taking care of the  frosh  after
they have   been duly   ushered
through the receiving
onto the dance floor.   Many of
the young hopefuls looked
er deserted   in   the  midst   of
things last night.
In case anyone ' is wondering
about the general tone of the
news story covering the reception, which appears '
ing column of this page, let it be
said that it was written not with
malice aforethought, but rather
in an attempt to present a true
cross-section of the function, in
the hope that if there is room
for improvement, such a presentation of facts will serve only to
emphasize   the   need   for  a
It will be a great disappointment to many students to learn
that intercollegiate basketball
has been abandoned at Fresno
State College for the current
season. Basketball is just beginning to come into its own on the
Pacific Coast, and the loss of
even one season's experience
may well prove to be a serious
handicap in later years. It is
hoped that a suitable intramural
program will be developed to
somehow fill the gap left by the
loss of varsity and
basketball eompetitioi
This idea of distributing buttons bearing the slogan, "We'
Behind You, Bulldogs!" along
lines paralleling the NRA code
signup may prove to be the
effective yet developed in the
campaign to revive student
spirit at the college. U the rally
committee, Minute Men and Second Women succeed in their
avowed intentions of building
up that spirit, they will be eligible for the heartiest vote of
thanks dispensed to anyone ii
these parts in years!
An undercurrent of gentle but
quite audible purring is making
itself heard on the Fresno State
campus this week as the seven
sororities enter their semi-annual rush program. H past years
are to be taken as representative, there will be several long,
drawn-out "MEE-OWS" heard
before the week is out Well,
can stand the noise, so long _
they keep their daws well
sheathed.

Basketball, as it has been known in past years, will not be
played at Fresno State College during the 1933-34 season.
■ Decision to remove the Sport from the realm of inter-collegiate
competition came Friday afternoon at a meeting of the newly-
created board of athletic control at the college, after, contract
had been received from all Far Western conference col-

All freshman games have been cancelled also.
