SQUEALING ONE'S WAYTHROUGH.

Thel'e are various and sundry waysof getting thl-ough college. One mayact.ually merit un A. ll. at. t.he end ofeight semesters of college uctlvlty, 01'

one may get through mainly o~bluff. But at one time or another Itdoes seem as If the majority of stu-dents achIeve theil' degrees by themethOd kno\\'n as squealing one's waythl'Ough.The tel'ln "squealing" In this con-

text Is not associated with that despl·cahh" practicf" known as tale-bearing.1t 11;18to tlo with those frequent vi-brations of the vocal ChOl'ds belongingto slender collegians "hlch fall on thehalm\' ali' in emulation of the plnk-skinn-ed, curly-tailed offspring of cer-tain pork-bearing animals,There Is this much to be said fOI"

squealing, It Is justifiable as long asone is a part of the noise. But to beapHI't from It-to hear It from theoutside is to make one fear one's hairand to plan a hasty departure fromcollege life.\\-hy is it that a group of girls, five

or more in numbel" cannot can'y onan ordinary con\'ersation without ex-pressing themseh'es in gUl'gles, gulps,gaspS, whleh finally develop Intoshrieks and squeals, interspersed withthe Intonation o[ the elementan!sounds of a, e, I, 0, and u, mnglng Inpitch anywhere from G to high C?And this only In the cOUl'se of casualdlMcourse. ,\rhen an element of emo-tion or excitement is brought Into play,then the volume of sound emitted in-creases in geometric ratio,On room-drawing night, the classes

which are not in action must retreatto the far confines of campus in orderto flnd peace. If one wishes to travelundisturbed, it Is not advisable to takethe "Squealing Express" which arrivesIn New London at 8,11.It may be 'well to ,'epeat tha.t squeal-

ing Is aU right as long as one is theperpetrator of the sounds-but mayHeaven be merciful to the listeners.
