Northwestern University recently told freshmen that "fun is the most important thing in college." He later termed fun as exercising the 'muscles of the mind." Colorado College goes in for athletics in a long way. A recent survey shows that the equivalent of over four miles of adhesive tape, one inch in width, is used each year by the College Athletic Department.
Leaders We are proud of the leaders in our administration and faculty who have received recognition. We are proud of our student leaders who as members of Alpha Kappa Gamma are helping to guide the student life of our college and other colleges. Nothing better can be said of one than that she is able to direct and guide others in the right way. It matters not in what field she may be leader, that she is one is sufficient. Executive ability, strength of character, personality are required for leadership. If you are a leader, if you can influence others, sway them in the way that is best for them, value this gift. To few is it given. We hope that when our student leaders leave us that they will continue to manage, direct, control, govern, and lead. We hope that in live. ten. "fifty" years, we shall see their names in either "Leaders in Education" or in leaders in athletics, dramatics, literature, music, or some other field.
Honored We feel highly honored that we have been one of the twentyfour colleges in the United States visited by Dr. Earl Rugg.

JUNIORS GIVE SING Last Saturday evening the student body was entertained by a very interesting and witty "sing" given by the Junior Class. The Juniors dedicated their sing to the Seniors. Several Saturday evenings ago, the Seniors presented themselves as they expect to be seen a few years hence— the Juniors presented them as the Juniors see them after fifty years have rolled by. i Peals of laughter broke from the audience as Alice Moore, who had worked her way to Mars, looked upon the Earth and saw the Seniors of '32 busy with their tasks in life. Ah! What changes fifty years can produce.
