TheTypicalColegeBoy We, the coeds o f Cabrini College, i n viewing the typical college man, express o u r feelings on s i x points. The typical college man is: 1. A tweed — H e dresses suitably f o r a l l occasions: leather e l bow patches on his jackets, a touch of o l i v e drab, d i r t y bucks and a "Princeton c u t . " 2. Cosmopolitan i n talk — as he is w e l l versed on subjects such as girls, dolls, femmes, blondes, b r u nettes and redheads. &Man about t o w n — He knows every "respectable establishment" from t h e N e w Yo r k state l i n e t o Pittsburgh, Pa. 4. A n intellectual — H e takes pains, pouring time and effort into his w o r k , f r o m w h i c h h e reaps much satisfaction; i.e., up. to F r i day afternoon. T h e n comes t h e WEAK-end and the books are left behind i n the s,.55 of hasty escape. Tie is 1.4oughtlui — Morning, noon a n d night he thinks o f h i m self. 6. I l e ponders heavy problems— such a s where t o f i n d t h e ice t o keep the coke cold on a warm day, or h o w he can squeeze his homework i n t o h i s b u s y social schedule. Ah, y e s , t h e s e a r e t r u l y t h e characteristics of a typical college man.

He is considered a l o t of f u n w i t h the fellows, b u t he is not a v e r y g o o d i n g r e d i e n t f o r mixed company. Lastly w e h a v e t h e clear, cut, well dressed, g o o d l o o k i n g b o y who i s neither Bohemian n o r i n tellectual ( i n large doses), nor the over-confident sports hero, nor the party b o y n o t f i t f o r mixed company; but rather he is a good conversationalist, dances w e l l , a n d handles a l l situations beautifully.

WhatEveryTeacher ShoultiknowAboutMe Once upon a time I took a personality test, a n d d i d I surprise myself! I found out I ' m n o t quite the person I t h i n k I am. A n d I ' v e been living with myself for seventeen years, e l e v e n months, a n d 350 days. H o w can I expect a p r o fessor i n college to know me when he has never been i n m y company for more than an hour? My personality t e s t revealed that I l i v e i n a n optimistic a n d visionary w o r l d . M y ideals p r e vent me from quite believing that the people I l o v e could d o a n y thing wrong and that to do wrong is very grave indeed. I weave the pattern o f m y l i f e o n a v i v i d l y colored tapestry. I a m t h e b r i g h t bluebird of cheeriness, the purplerobed confessor a n d sympathizer, and t h e rainbow-threaded b u t t e r fly o f talent t h a t shyly kisses a l l with pollened lips. Ye t I am not a chameleon, a l t h o u g h I s i n c e r e l y endeavor t o change a m o o d t o oblige a friend. I dislike my tapest r y t o be commonplace and o r d i nary; therefore, I shun all cut and dry formulas. I m a k e exceptions for myself a n d others a n d insist upon a standard o f conduct f o r everyone. I l o v e G o d because I believe one m u s t have great faith, hope a n d c h a r i t y. I h a v e a n i n satiable q u e s t f o r knowledge o f my religion and am very interested i n t h e s t u d y o f a l l subjects. I h o p e some d a y t o a d d t o m y tapestry t h e l i f e o f a m a n w h o shares m y a v i d interests i n G o d and l i f e . I l i k e t o d o m y best a t all times w h e n I ' m n o t overcome by seizures o f laziness. Occasionally I t a k e o f f m y r o s e colored glasses. Looking around, I f i n d i t quite difficult t o believe I l i v e i n the M i l k y W a y G a l a x y o n t h e planet Earth. Each glimpse o f m y world gives m e added conviction to " s t i c k to soy guns" and do m y best, letting God do the rest. May I never be tempted t o lay aside my rose colored glasses, may I respect w h a t I a m a n d respect the individuality o f others.
