There's a statewide election on Nov. 2, but it’s one without any statewide candidates.

Instead, the election will feature eight statewide constitutional amendments that address topics ranging from religious freedom to taxes to judicial eligibility. The last day to register to vote is Oct. 4. The last day to apply for a ballot by mail is Oct. 22. Early voting in the state runs Oct. 18-29.

How can I register to vote?

Texans need to fill out a voter registration application at least 30 days before the election. You can request the application through the mail or find one at county voter registrars' offices, post offices, government offices or high schools. While you can't register online to vote in Texas unless you’re updating your driver’s license, you can print out the online application and mail it to the voter registrar in your county. Applications have to be postmarked by the Oct. 4 deadline. Download your application here.

How can I register to vote by mail?

To be eligible to vote by mail in Texas, you must be:

65 years or older

Sick or disabled

Out of the county during the early voting period and Election Day

In jail but eligible to vote

You can print a form here or request one to be mailed to you here. Once the form is filled out, you will need to address and mail it to the early voting clerk in your county or fax the form if that option is available in the early voting clerk’s office. You also have the option of submitting a scanned copy of the completed and signed application to the early voting clerk via email, according to the Texas secretary of state's office. You can look up the early voting clerk in your county here.

If the form is faxed or emailed, then the hard copy of the application must be mailed and received by the early voting clerk no later than the fourth business day.

Johnny didn't learn for a while what the house wanted from him. It was clear that it demanded something of him. The ceiling seemed too low, mold-ridden even if he couldn't see any. The floors were freezing- wooden and splintering, but he hadn't bled once despite getting some shards embedded painfully into his hands when he searched the ground for his pencils after the moon went down. 

Every number he called about the electricity going out lead to a dial tone. His phone was strangely the only electronic- the only appliance- that still worked in the house. He had no idea how much time had passed since he'd been left in the bathroom to die and woke up with stark scars on his forearms, the shower curtain draped over his body, and the bathtub dry as a bone. And Vargas gone. For good it seemed. 

He almost wanted to believe it was a nightmare- that it all was a nightmare. So he tried to pick his life back up as he stepped out of the bathtub and went to find clothes and the thermostat.

One day, he found a bill on the table in front of the TV. He couldn't remember when he'd received any mail recently- let alone opened it. Even stranger than the bill was the message that had been printed on it. There wasn't any amount under 'AMOUNT DUE.' The only other print on the paper was red text reading 'UTILITY SERVICE TERMINATED DUE TO NONPAYMENT. REMIT PAYMENT TO CONTINUE SERVICE.'

There wasn't an address or a phone number to contact regarding the bill. Johnny was left confused over how to alleviate this debt. He didn't know who, when, where, or what. The only thing that he still had control over was the 'how.' He needed a job. 

 After digging around for a week or so, Johnny managed to uncover his portfolio that he'd submitted copies of alongside Edgar. He was not about to go back there- they loved his boyfriend and always doubted Johnny's judgment. 

There was a new comic publishing company; a start-up with a promising, rich CEO that was recruiting new styles. Macabre. Gothic. Grotesque. Mindfuck. It was perfect for Johnny. 

He put on the best outfit from his closet, something with a blazer and no rips in the jeans. He'd done his hair until the two antennae that hung over his face were hidden amongst the rest of his combed blue hair. Johnny walked into the office feeling confident that his second chance at life had been a blessing or a reward for surviving. 

Everyone working at the company currently was skinny, wired, and brutal. Nobody seemed to actually be creating anything- instead, they were all busy working on photo manipulation and advertisements. There also seemed to be someone altering a passport photo meticulously. 

Johnny's meeting with the CEO started off alright enough. The man listened to the artist speak about his work and he even asked a few things here or there. He asked something about the paint choice and Johnny responded in a way that he hoped didn't sound too try hard but also genuine. In truth, Vargas didn't let him use anything else.

Maybe he could sense that. Maybe the man could tell that Johnny was an easy target. Maybe Johnny had painted 'patsy' on his forehead in asshole-vision invisible ink.

Whatever had caused the conversation to turn towards Johnny's personal life- particularly his relationship status- was unimportant. He wanted to leave, but he figured that the man would probably ask that for reference purposes or perhaps personally-identifying information. Johnny told the CEO that he was single, recently left a relationship with his ex-fiance. The way that the man reacted should have said enough to him, but he tried to reason with his brain; he was overreacting. 

But to put it crudely, the CEO wanted fresh meat and Johnny was a free-bleeding fresh cut. Eyes still clear. Silent like a fish out of water, when he moved over and started massaging Johnny's shoulders, saying how awful that must have been. That he was there for him. That he was recently divorced himself. He understood. 

Johnny felt his hand being moved, heard a zipper being pulled down, and when the CEO moved his mouth to press against his ear, all Johnny remembered was that he had the other man's letter opener embedded in the space directly below his eye socket. He registered the crack of bone giving under unforgiving metal. The burst of red sprayed across his face and his shirt. The screaming. His screaming. 

He was on his knees over the blubbering, defaced CEO shouting out as if he was emptying every last moment of anger or shame or hurt into the puncture marks that kept adding up. Johnny wasn't sure if he was crying or that his body was finally catching up- maybe he was having a heart attack. 

He has no idea how long he kneeled on the grimey black floor of the CEO's office before he realized that nobody was coming. Surely, someone must have heard them. Was the police waiting right outside the door- bullets trained on him- ready to shoot to kill? The man who was under Johnny's blade was miraculously still alive- dying- but still actually alive and he only then heard the tiny whimpers of 'please, don't kill me' 'I'll change.' 

Johnny grabbed the man's stripped, bloodied face, digging his fingernails into the wounds, and his heart sung with the screeches that rung throughout the office. There was nothing else there except for Johnny and the filth disguised as a human being. 

He listened to him plead, held his face in his hands as the man continues to plead pathetically. Johnny's heart nearly jumped this time when he claimed 'he'd change'.

"No; you won't." His voice was venomous, low and angry in a way that sounded calm. "You will never change. You know what happens when I give people like you the opportunity to change? Do you? They stop for a little while, sometimes days, sometimes decades, because they're so fucking scared for their life. For jail time, for repercussion, Hell maybe for the Devil himself coming to fuck them up the ass for what they've done. But when the Devil doesn't come, when the tabloids remain silent, when the name becomes deceased or missing or disappears completely, you go right back to what you'd been doing before. You put your fingers or your face or your dick wherever you want because you think you're untouchable. You think you are above the lives that you've ruined. You think that they deserve it- or maybe that you deserve it for being so good for so long, right? Well, guess what?" 

"You won't get to do that because I'm going to end your life right here, right now. I'm going to end whatever cycle of abuse that may or may have swept you up and corrupted you - brought you to believe you somehow are entitled to this pain that you inflict on others. And I'm going to enjoy it."

The man was able to only let out a sharp 'please, no' before Johnny grabbed his skull and twisted it until he heard a snap and the person below him had turned into a corpse. Into a past tense. 

He was coated in blood. 

Johnny dropped the body unceremoniously before he shakily got onto his feet. It was copious. It was gruesome. He threw up into a potted plant near the door. He gathered his portfolio into his arms and picked up his application from the CEO's desk. Johnny slipped the single piece of paper into the paper shredder, watching it turn into dozens of tiny bits of future bunny bedding.  

He braced himself before he stepped into the workplace. He expected a lot of things. He expected to see a huge stack of chairs and terrified workers huddled behind them like frightened raccoons. He expected SWAT, FBI, CSI, NCSI, the Navy, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, and the Marines. He expected to have a bunch of horrified, traumatized faces staring back at him.

Instead, they looked annoyed. And the only people who were annoyed were the ones whose desks were closest to the CEO's office door. They glared at him, sneering like he was covered in shit and not in blood. Then they were completely disinterested. He was just some freak. They gossiped amongst themselves, but otherwise didn't approach Johnny. 

The man tore out of the comic publishing building and ran all the way home. It was midday- in the middle of December or January, where the sun was absent and the wind was unforgiving. Johnny had sweat through his stained clothing and the temperature change between the outside and the inside of his house was minute. The only shelter he had from the Winter chill was just covering from the elements.

Johnny walked into the bathroom and over to the bathtub and tossed the downed shower curtain out of the way. The water was freezing and felt like needles against even his clothed skin as he attempted to wash away the blood. It streamed down, staining the white porcelain as it streaked off of him and into the drain. 

The man had put his head against the tile, directly under the showerhead as he held himself. His eyes were shut tight, so it took him a moment of brief confusion before he opened his eyes to the bright lights of the bathroom and a gradually increasing warm shower. 

The water was perfect now and after getting past the initial shock, he undressed and continued to clean himself off the best he could. All that remained after he finished was the blood caked under his fingernails. He would cut them later. 

Johnny dried off using a somewhat warm, scruffy towel, it had been hanging there on the rack since he first awoke in the bathroom. He wrapped it around himself before he explored the rest of the house. It was warm, and the lights were all on. The electronics were all buzzing in a way they hadn't unless in memories. He opened the fridge and found that the food in there had not rotted. He picked out some lunch meat from a drawer and savored the usually incorrigible processed salty ham. He couldn't remember the last time he ate. Or the last time he slept. 

He needed clothes. He needed to get rid of the clothes at the bottom of his tub. Johnny went over to the bedroom where he hadn't tread since awakening. The light was on. The bed was still done but looked slept in. He went and grabbed the first shirt and pants and underwear that he found and then quickly went to clean up the mess in the bathroom.

He wrung the blazer out, pink-red water had poured and then streamed and then dribbled. He repeated this with the pants and then the shirt and his underwear and socks. His boots were not salvageable. That's fine. It was all fine. 

At least for now he did not have to immediately worry about paying the bill. In fact, the house felt warmer when he returned inside after he buried the clothes under the dirt of his dead front lawn. Johnny found a new paper attached to his freezer. He figured he'd missed it when he first went for the ham. 

He took it down after he grabbed a bag of microwavable pizza pocket bites. Johnny didn't know what it meant and how it happened, but he didn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. He was given another chance for a reason. He gnawed at his fingernails as he watched the plate spin in the microwave and the house hummed with life as it was finally fed.

'PAYMENT RECEIVED. 

UTILITY SERVICE WILL RESUME AS NORMAL. 

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. 

THANK YOU.'

FAQ

You want international fans to participate, but the postcards have to be written primarily in English?

Yes, unfortunately.  This is because the admins can only read in English, and if they cannot read your postcard, they cannot prevent harassment.  Greetings in your native language as well as well-known canonical quotes from non-English fandoms are fine.

Why can't I include my return address on the postcards I send?

To put it simply: because it is within the realm of possibility that a participant may end up regretting their decision at a later time. In the future, we may allow for "penpal lists" of people who are not worried about giving out their personal information--something that one would definitely have to opt into separately. But that's a discussion for a later time when we are more established.

Do you have a privacy policy?

Yes, it’s called ‘We will never share your real name or mailing address with anyone else.’ We're serious. We take issue with the erosion of privacy, the selling of data, etc.

I’m worried about doxxing.  How secure is my personal information?

The information you email to us in order to become a member is sent to our secure ProtonMail address, protected by an extremely secure password and multi-factor authentication.  From there, it will be printed and a hard copy will be kept.  It will not exist on anyone’s hard drive.  We will not share it.

Who are you and why should I trust you with my information?

I’m @vex-verlain and the “us” consists of me and my partner, who isn’t a part of fandom but may help with getting the mail out.  Being that I haven’t been particularly active in fandom since 2001 and have mostly just been lurking, there isn’t really any good reason to trust me--except that I promise I’m nice and take my ethical responsibilities seriously.  Also, the way the Exchange is set up, I am the most likely person to be doxxed, as everyone will be sending their postcards to me so that they can be forwarded on to the recipient.

Are we allowed to change our fandoms/favorite characters/favorite relationships after submitting our membership form?

Yes, absolutely, although we do ask that you only do this once per month. Just send us an email with the changes you would like made--let us know if you would like something deleted, added, changed, etc. It is not necessary to resubmit the application. If people regularly submit changes, we may create a form in the future to make it easier.

My address has changed.  What do I do?

Let us know as soon as you can, and we’ll update our notes!

What should I do if I no longer want to receive postcards?

Simply contact us and we will remove you from the Member Directory.

I have a suggestion for other content that should be allowed on postcards.

SEND IT TO US!  We want to hear your ideas!

Can't we horizontally divide the back of our postcards?

Yes, you can--I just didn't want to make the instructions too complicated.  If you are horizontally dividing the back of the postcard, keep this in mind:

The address side of the card must be divided into an upper portion and a lower portion, with or without a horizontal rule. The portion of the address side that does not contain the destination address is the message area.

The address, postage, and any Postal Service marking or endorsement must appear within the portion containing the destination address. As an alternative, when the destination address appears within the lower portion, it is permissible for the postage, return address, and any USPS marking or endorsement to appear in the upper portion. The portion bearing the destination address must be at least 1-1/2 inches high. 1

What should I do if my problem isn’t addressed here?

It’s done.

I just got back from Stella’s grocery and Post Office in Kiltyclogher - where I mailed my application for Irish Citizenship.

Five years - mountains of paperwork, birth certificates, marriage certificates, my actual passport, receipts and accumulated bills - a trip to a solicitor yesterday where he witnessed and stamped everything “officially” - and it’s on it’s way to Tipperary Town.

I’ve worked on this steadily for the last three weeks, organized printed copies of visits to Doctors, electric bills dating back to 2015, all in an attempt to provide precisely what the government requests as proof of my legitimacy. It’s not perfect. Some things are missing because they don’t exist (mortgage payments, employment receipts) and I hope they will accept my substitutions.

It’s cost me about €230 so far. If for some insane reason they grant my request, it will cost me another €950.

Here’s my secret.

I have no hope left.

Every single thing I have tried to do here, has failed. Every time I have interfaced with any form of government agency I’ve been kicked in the face. I don’t believe I will get to be an Irish citizen. Nothing has worked so far, and I’ve NEVER stopped trying....

The perfect metaphor for the five years I’ve been working up to this final moment of completion?

I slid the two-inch-thick package of papers into a plastic envelope I’d purchased. Carefully wrote out the address in black ballpoint pen, and sealed it up tight.

Turned it over. The pen smudged across the label, and its unreadable.

Asked for a new envelope at the Post Office. She handed me four different ones, some plastic, some not. “This one is big enough”- it wasn’t.

“This one is bigger.” - nope.

“Try this one” - too small.

Ended up slowly jamming my papers ever-so-carefully, into a brown paper sleeve which is too small - and then scotch-taping the torn spots in an attempt to seal the package.

This cost me €14.

Even though I have worked really hard, played by the rules, wrestled with strange customs and unintelligible jokes - I still don’t fit.

Never have. Never will.

The mods took up spaces for the contributors that could've gone to other applicants? I'm kinda disappointed with that decision...

Hey, anon. I just wanted to say I'm honestly sorry you didn't get into the zine. I am. Honestly we felt really bad about the people we turned down because we're friends with so many people in this wonderful fandom and we had to turn down some of our really good friends. But like... ten writers & ten artists is pushing the page count as it is for the fic length we're including. Believe me, if we could include everyone, we would! Our contributor list wasn't based on who was popular. I know that's hard to believe with so many big names participating, but the popular creators in fandom (as well as in professionally published works out in life) usually are popular because they are the ones who put out the highest quality or most interesting finished pieces. We didn't pick anyone because they're popular, we picked them because they're amazingly talented.

But as for the idea that mods shouldn't be in their own projects, I just want to clear something up...

Modding for a zine is a time commitment of no less than 30-40 hours per person with a mod team of 3 or 4. Think about that for a minute. Think about how much that time would be worth if it were paid on a commission rate or even at minimum wage.

Where did that time estimate come from?

Each mod went through each and every fic and art submission and graded them on a rubric scale based on style, consistency, grammar for writers, cleanliness of linework for artists, completeness of art, storytelling for writers, and other things. Then the mods came together, totaled those grades, and invited the creators who ranked in with the highest overall grades. This alone took about 12 hours of time investment from each and every one of us, including several collaborative hours where our differing timezones required very late or early days.

Next, you've got the tasks that don't necessarily require all of us at once or require only one of us.

Let's start with writing up the emails and sending out each email (including needing to send them in batches of no more than 5 at once). Then there's writing up the check-in forms for each check-in, making sure everyone submits their check-ins and that they meet the requirements, chasing down the people who don't submit, and following up. There's contacting pinch hitters in the event someone drops out. There's making sure everyone submits final works and that they're formatted right and chasing up those that aren't. This is hours of work, I'd average it to a minimum of 10-12 hours across the course of the zine.

Then there's the social media tasks of replying to asks and tweets and questions, social media outreach and promotion to drum up interest in the zine, creating the graphics to promote the zine, preorders announcements, and answering order questions from customers. Let's average 10-12 hours there.

For the formatting mod, that mod is responsible for designing indexes as well as creating, formatting, and assembling the print, PDF, & NSFW editions including the embedded linking involved in a quality PDF and formatting all of the fics to uniform formatting. This takes an average of 8 hours *per version*. That's 24 hours on the clock right there.

Now let's address production. So there's contacting manufacturers for quotes, formatting the non-zine merch for production, placing the orders for zines and merch, and buying packaging supplies. Let's say 3 hours. Don't forget to send out PDF copies, 30 minutes. Then checking and approving the zine and merch proofs and posting or sending production updates to customers, 2 hours. Let's be generous and assume nothing goes wrong and there's no delays, which never happens btw. Then there's getting the supplies, doing a quality check, and weighing out the packages for different tiers, figure 30 minutes. Next is packaging and addressing each and every order, printing and applying postage, and making sure everyone gets what they ordered. Let's assume a super lightning fast mod spends 5 minutes per order. Hopefully we'll have lots of orders, but let's figure 50 plus 20 contributor copies. That's 5.8 hours, round it to 6 hours to give 12 minutes to reload the printer and open the box of bubble mailers. Next is driving to/from the post office (let's assume the mod lives close, 30 minutes round trip), having them mail out every package (30 minutes if they already have postage on them), sending out shipping and tracking information to customers individually one by one (2 hours), and following up on any lost or delayed packages. That's a minimum of 15 hours for production.

We haven't even accounted for the actual sales. Setting up the store, announcing it, and tracking and handling the incoming orders? Let's give that five hours. Then there's calculating and tracking the budget, making sure there's enough money for everything, as well as figuring out the contributor shares and making sure we can pay for everything possible for each contributor. Three hours. And don't forget to put down a trip to the accountant because this is a for-profit project and that needs to be weighed in so any taxes that need paid are accounted for. Two hours. Ten hours there just running the store.

As you can see, this is no small investment of time. But if you still think we need to prove our qualifications and the quality and caliber of our work to justify we deserved our spots...

Mod L has been accepted into 4 other zines. Mod B has been accepted into 7 other zines. Mod K has been accepted into 29 other zines, including several with so-called "blind apps", and you can see his credentials in the sidebar of his blog. Our work is unquestionably of a zine publishing caliber.

But what's more important? This project exists because Mod L wanted to be part of a JM zine and there wasn't one happening. So we got together and made it happen and got others to join us because they love JM too. We're here because we believe in the project and the ship and we want to create something amazing. We're here to have fun and create for something we love.

We do hope that you'll continue to support this zine, and create things you love for yourself, even if you are disappointed.

If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out!

--Mod K

The I.A.C. Student, Vol. 1 No. 1 (7 August 1890)

A happy 128th birthday to the Iowa State Daily! To celebrate, here is the first issue, dated 7 August 1890. Included are the actual pages and the text to every story.

Some quick thoughts after reading it... So. Many. Periods. In headlines. Though women are on staff, there are no female pronouns when talking about student life and achievements after college. A lot of the writing is dry, recapping event activities in chronological order, especially visible in the baseball game recap. The writing style can take some real getting used to. The mission statement is on the second page, not the front page. Only one story, a tribute/obituary, has author initials on it, the other stories are done without a byline (a practice that’ll go on for decades.)

I’ve corrected some of the grammatical and punctuation errors; some I’m not sure about and there don’t seem to be any rules for comma usage, which can be a challenge — sorry, copy editors. The newspaper also had no guide when it comes to titled works, as it uses both title case, italics, and quotation marks. I could make notes on some of these stories to give them historical context, including the story that hints at the Dinkey, the military notes piece, and the literary societies, but maybe another day. This is already quite long.

Quick reference for the stories in this issue

Headlines in brackets are my creation as many items don’t have headlines — a practice that’ll last for a couple decades.

THE JOINT SESSION.

An Interesting Program Presented to an Appreciative Audience.

In obedience to a custom of many years, the five literary societies of the college held a joint session in the college chapel on Saturday evening, July 26th.

The audience was not as large as might be wished, as many of the students spent the evening elsewhere. The great difficulty in preparing a creditable program is the very short time available for preparation. It is a fact that our joint sessions do not rank with the average literary society session either in interest or merit. However the last was the best we have heard for some time.

Mr. Meredith acted as chaplain of the evening, reading a very interesting chapter of the scriptures. For a change we would like to hear a simple earnest prayer from one of the students, as an introduction to our literary sessions, instead of the scripture readings.

Messrs. Minchen and Adams rendered a very choice selection of guitar music, and were loudly encored. Their reputation is well established as two of our best musicians.

Mr. Bishop in behalf of the various societies welcomed the audience m a few appropriate remarks.

“The Little Red Hen" was next delivered by Miss Charlotte Barrows. Miss Barrows was fortunate in the selection of a declamation. Her delivery is simple and uneffected.

The next performance was an oration by Miss Kate Stevens entitled "Physical Culture." She reviewed the standards of manhood and womanhood of all nations; clearly showing that all united the ideals of beauty, strength and power. She pointed out the tendency in America to-day, to cultivate the intellect to the exclusion of the body, clearly portraying the results necessary to follow if a halt is not called to this unsystematic development. Miss Stevens is one of the ablest students of which the I. A C. can boast. She is a clear thinker and always thinks to a purpose.

The song by Miss Ward was well rendered and duly appreciated by the audience.

The debate was "Should the National Election Bill Becomes Law?" Mr. Hodson opened the debate in a brilliant manner. Mr. Graham led the negative. It was at once apparent that he was prepared to debate. He looked at the question from a conservative point of view, clearly portraying the evils which would necessarily follow should the bill become a law. Mr. Starkey, the second speaker on the affirmative is a radical partisan, and of course, thought the bill ought to pass. Mr. Thomburg replied to the arguments in a telling manner.

Mr. Hodson in his closing speech waxed eloquent, and brought down the house. Mr. Graham closed the debate in his quiet characteristic matter. He being a senior having passed up Polit. and Psych. of course made the best debate.

After music by Messrs. Minchem and Adams, Mr. Clyde Jones told us of the “Behring Sea Controversy." Mr. Jones has a very earnest manner of speaking and held the attention of all the audience, not excepting a few smart (?) folks who had been giggling and passing notes during most of the entertainment.

Impromptu speeches were next in order. Messrs Stewart, Dyer and Olmsted and Miss Alice Mann responding. The speakers were well prepared and got off some good takes on the audience.

Mr. Lovejoy sustained his well known reputation as a declarmer when he rendered Ingersol's Vision."

G. H. Schulte next told us of "Ilis Experience in Courtship." It will be remembered Mr. Schulte won first honors in the decathlon contest in '88. His rendering is direct and forceable. He was frequently interrupted by bursts of applause.

The vocal duet by Messrs Morton and Cochran was one of the best we have heard in some time.

The Parody by Miss Elmira Wilson was well written and distinctly read. In prophetic language she told of the future of the I.A.C. girls.

Mr. Dean next favored the audience with a very fine sketch of our Departed Hero," Dr. Welch.

A tableaux closed the entertainment, and the joint session was once more a thing of the past.

Are our Courses too Heavy.

We have heard many students complain that too much work was required of them. They make comparisons between the work required here and at other schools, which do not require more than one-half as much of their students as is required by our faculty. This is no argument against our course. If these same grumblers will but look at the records of I. A. C. graduates and compare their success with those of the graduates of these other schools they will find the odds all in favor of the I. A. C. It does seem however that students of some of our courses have more required work than others.

15 hours without laboratory work is hardly on & level with 16 hours, and 7 laboratories.

We think however that instead of the latter course being made easier the other should be made more difficult.

That as much work should be required to obtain a degree in the general as in the engineering courses.

[Suggested headline: Join a literary society, freshmen]

To the new students we would say: You cannot afford not to be a member of one of the college literary societies. Do not put it off until next term, but join at once, and go to work. No matter if you cannot debate like the seniors or orate like the juniors. They were once freshmen, but by hard persistant effort have secured that greatest of all attainments, the power to speak readily in public. No matter if you do not expect to follow a literary profession. There are times in every man's life when it will be hundreds in his pocket if he can clearly and readily state his thoughts in public. A thorough knowledge of parliamentary law and usages is as essential to a thorough education as a knowledge of mathematics. The literary society fills a place in our educational system which can be filled by nothing else. It is a place where character is formed, where wit is sharpened, where thought unfolds in its grandest magnificence.

Observe the society workers, those who seem to carry their society in their mind and heart continually Those who are considered the best literary workers. Follow them after they have left college and have mingled with the world, and we will venture the assertion that 99 times out of 100 you will find them the most successful men in life. No matter whether they graduated with honor or were "voted over." Marks do not make the man. It is the ability to hustle, to move men, and things that gives them this advantage over their competitors. See to it then that you not only have a trained intellect, and a large fund of useful knowledge, but the ability to hustle in this hustling world.

THE I. A. C. STUDENT.

The succession of events that break the routine of college life is now specially marked by the appearance of a paper that will make a complete record of their [occurrence].

THE I. A. C. STUDENT now comes to the Students, Faculty, Alumni and Friends of the institution for the first time. The policy of its managers is simple and easily understood. We shall try and publish a College Newspaper. THE I. A. C. is our field and we shall endeavor to advance the institution in every manner possible. We shall not attempt to run a scientific or literary Magazine, and we doubt if there is a demand for our ideas on politics or religion. It is our object to create a genuine college newspaper, one free from all [alliances], and in this work we invite all the [friends] of the institution to help us.

Passing in Panorama.

"History repeats itself." Nowhere is the truth of this saying so clearly shown as at the I. A. C. Not that we are working in a rut, our students are as enterprising as the students of other colleges. But human nature is always the same, and under similar conditions manifests itself in similar ways. In the main each year is a [repetition] of the previous one. The Freshmen are always green, the Sophomores always boastful.

The first week of the term is characterized by trunks, handshaking, introductions and general miscellaneousness. At the President's office, candidates for Freshman standing are telling the President how smart they are—how they've passed up algebra and geometry, and that they think they ought to be admitted without an examination. The Sophomors, Juniors and Seniors would "like to see you a moment, privately, President Chamberlain.”

Soon come the skip-tum-a-loo pig-in-the-parlor socials where all are expected to be as if they had been acquainted with each other all their lives, instead of an hour.

Toward the latter part of April little knots of Sophomores may be seen here and there talking earnestly. This is an indication of the coming of the Freshman picture and the great Freshman-Sophomore "scrap" attending it.

Them follows the reception. The Sophomores spout and strut while the Freshman stares admiringly and says to himself, That's Fine. He informs his neighbor, ”that when a man gets through this college he knows something."

At this period the toughs of the Freshman class, begin to come into prominence. The nights on Freshman floor are now hideous. Next day the salute is, "Been to see the President yet?”

The Freshmen organize a ball team and try tilts with each of the three upper class nines successively. Perhaps they are successful, perhaps not—it makes no difference. No more is heard about ball during the remainder of the term. All have turned their attention to tennis and mashing.

The first of May brings the book-agents. They tell tho boys beautiful stories about pleasant vacations of travel, golden crops of suckers and the immense value of the experience acquired.

The Freshmen and Sophomors are wondering where the [battalion] will spend Decoration Day. Some say at Boone, others Marshalltown, and Nevada, etc, etc.

Up to this time nothing has been heard of the Juniors. All seem to think that they are for ornament only. But, behold! the time of the junior ex, draws nigh. The animal making that unearthly noise in the next room is not a demented bovine, but only a Junior ex, speaker rehearsing his oration.

With the fare days of June, comes the event of the year—Col. Lincol'n reception to his officers and Co. G. captains, lieutenants and sergeants—how they scramble. Here's a little advice boys, On such occasions adopt this motto, "send your mail early and avoid the rush.“

The closing days of the term are days of hurry and hard work. The last Sunday finds many vacant seats in chapel. The sophomores are making out their surveying plots, the juniors are wrestling with engineering and literature, while the seniors are preparing for Monday's examination in psychology.

Vacation is to short. In four weeks the trunk act must again be performed, while the freshmen come swaggering along, puffing and sweating in these heavy uniforms. (Been showing off on the the train you know). First of all, the social must be attended to. Then all eyes are turned toward the orchard. Emigration sets in toward the west, and the sentiment of the times seems to be, 'Go west young man, and fill up with apples." The season advances and the President forbids the indiscriminate appropriation of fruit. Then it is that apples are hauled in by the sackful in the wee small hours of the night; then it is that Jerry and the proctors spend sleepless nights.

When the grapes are ripe, the orchard loses its charm, and the vineyard becomes the center of interest. Before, grape-time came the class picnics. They are very pleasant affairs, but like the Colonel's reception are apt to cause the boys some anxiety.

After the picnics are over, all are talking about the State Fair. Are we going? When? How long to stay? Is Co. G. going? The same questions and the same indefinite answers. Why can's people vary their conversation some? This Fair question is a dry chestnut.

The Fair comes. It is over. O how tired! O how sleepy next morning, when the jingle rings.

The year's work now rapidly draws to a close. The seniors are "burning midnight oil" over their theses. We come to commencement week. Decoration of the chapel is in progress. The upper classes do their work quietly and with dispatch, but the freshman can't agree on what they want to do, nor how to do it. They waste the so much time that they have to finish up while the rest are at supper.

During the exercises of the week, every fellow sticks to his best girl, having in mind the fact that a four month's vacation is close at hand. The final day comes. The noble seniors march upon the platform for the last time. How grand to distinguish one's self by forgetting his oration! How awe inspiring the scene! How relieved the audience when it is over, and cramped limbs and poisoned lungs are permitted to gain their normal condition! Congratulations come now, Tears flow freely, Tis over. We are off for four month's vacation. Goodbye.

Philomathean.

The Philomatheans held their first regular session of this term Saturday evening the 2nd, inst.

The society was called to order at the usual time and after devotional by the Chaplain, the president Mr. Howard, was installed.

The outgoing president, Mr. C. D. Davidson, in his usual pleasant manner thanked the society for the honors given him, and gave the members a few valuable hints which we hope will be remembered.

Next on the program came the debate. The question was: “Should Congress have appropriated $5,000 for the benefit of the Pan-American Congress.” The question was ably debated by Messrs. Faille and Fairfield as leaders and Messrs. D. A. Thornburg and Jackson as assistants.

Miss Lane read a very amusing parody which was not only amusing but also interesting. The subject has been for the past two or three weeks, an all absorbing theme in the I. A. C.

Mr. Roddis then gave a selection from Will Carlton, “Making an Editor Out’n O'Him."

The two minute speeches by Misses Walley and Stevens and Mr. Reynolds were nothing very weighty, but " A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men.”

The voluntaries by Miss Stevens and Mr. Wooding were very good indeed, and were enjoyed by all. Miss Stevens pictured very beautifully the story of a "Union Spy," and Mr. Woodring rendered the familiar but none the less amusing poem, “The Snack in School.”

Mr. Peterson, of Des Moines, then addressed the society, giving some reminiscences of his school days and some ideas as to the value of society work.

The literary part of the program was interspersed with some charming selections of music.

During the business session Mr. Brown was initiated, thus adding another good member to the society.

Welch.

Saturday evening when the society boll ceased ringing the Welch boys quietly settled into their chairs and prepared themselves for the intellectual feast of the evening. They were complimented by the presence of a number of visitors.

An address of welcome by President F. E. Davidson opened the evening program, and the work of the term.

During the session declamations were rendered by Messrs Kent, Raymond and Rickets. An interesting essay was read by Mr. Waterhouse, and a medley of splendid merit by Mr. O'Niel.

Mr. Christie's speech on Mexico, showed us its political history; and possibilities for the future, as well as a glimpse of its resources, and geographical peculiarities.

Mr. Emerson spoke on the question of American fisheries and presented a reasonable solution to this perplexing problem.

An able debate was given on the question “That longer terms of office and less rotation, would be a benefit to the United States government." Messrs McCord and Jones handled the affirmative and Messrs Angus and Henry the negative. The debate was given to the affirmative.

An oration on James A. Garfield was next delivered by Mr. Bramhall. It was a production of excellent merit and was highly spoken of..

Several excellent declamations were given as voluntaries.

The society is to be congratulated on having added to its list of members, the names of Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Lewis.

Crescent.

The society was called to order by the Vice President, R. M. Dyer, Miss Quint being appointed secretary. The roll call by Mr. Spinny showed that many were absent from the room.

The question for debate was:

Resolved: That, a two-thirds.vote should be sufficient to convict in a trial by jury.

Mr. Spinny the first speaker on the affirmative showed that in reality a majority vote rules in case of trial by jury, and that a law to that effect is in force in some countries.

Mr. Dyer the first speaker on the negative holds that there is no balance between right and wrong, and a man is either wholly right or wholly wrong. He further makes the remark that, if he should ever be so unfortunate as to be called up in court for trial, for stealing watermelons or chickens, he wants the unanimous vote of twelve jurymen to convict him.

Mr. Beyer, attacked the watermellon argument. Mr. Peterson volunteered. He is in favor of the jury system as it is, but states that he would rather be judged by a judge than by a jury under present conditions. In speaking of the possibility of bribing one or two members of the jury, he says that it is done and often a criminal is set free in that way, but under the present system, it does not often happen that the innocent are convicted. He holds that it is better for fifty or one hundred, or any number of criminals to go unpunished than to convict one innocent person.

The different pieces of music were well rendered, and the crescents may be proud of their own quartette.

Cliolious.

The Cliolian Society met August 2, with the attendance not as large as usual.

Owing to the "tennis party” some of the members were absent; among them our president and vice president.

Miss Jennie Morrison was chosen to preside during the evening.

Miss Sadie Barrows favored the audience with a pleasing piano solo, after which Miss Garth read a touching poem—The Bridge Keeper's Story.

Miss Boyd's essay, "Abilities and Opportunities," was well read and showed much thought and careful preparation.

The question for debate was:

Resolved: That an International copyright should exist.

The leaders on both affirmative and negative being detained at the tennis party on account of the rain. Misses Morrison and Thornburg handled the question with marked ability.

The judges decided in favor of the affirmative.

Our thoughts wandered to home and Mother for a few minutes, while Miss Garth sang “Some Day I'll Wander Back Again."

“A Railroad Episode," by Burdette, was nicely rendered by Mable Owens.

The current events arranged by Misses Freed and Porter covered a wide range of subjects.

Miss Charlotte Barrows and her assistants demonstrated in an amusing pantomine, that it is better to let well enough alone[.]

Miss Doolitle read a beautiful essay entitled "Mary and Martha," which was [written] by one of her former pupils.

A young man graduated at Harvard Law school last June, who had completed the four years collegiate course at Harvard, followed by three years in the Law school, and has supported himself throughout the seven years, coming out with a balance of $5,000 in his pocket. When we remember that the expenses at Harvard is not far from $1,000 per year, we are led to believe that the gentleman was either a Des Moines boodler or an Iowan book agent.

Christian Association Notes

The Y. M. and Y. W.C. A's of the I. A. C. are the last societies organized here, but not the least. They are destined, here as in other colleges, to become prominent factors in the affairs of the institution. They will, as nearly as possible, take the place of the church, which the student enjoys at home, but of which he is deprived here. They like the church bringing up the standard of morality in localities, will raise that standard at college. Then as the standard of morality rises, the need of strict rules becomes less. A little observation among different colleges, will show how much more pleasant for both faculty and students it is when the students are governed by the desire to do right, rather than by proctors and ironclad rules.

Although these associations may not in every respect take the place of the church, as one of the principal means of growth in spiritually, they surpass the church. A splendid opening is here afforded for active Christian work.

To confine ourselves to our own associations, we may say that they have made a good start in their work. They organized near the close of last term, the Y. M. C. A. with a membership of 92, which has since been raised to 116, and the Y. W. C. A. with about 60, which has also been increased.

A full set of committees have entered upon their work. The Wednesday and Sunday evening meetings have opened with good attendance, which should however be increased.

In truth, the associations have taken up with ready hands and hearts the work which destiny has designed they should advance. THE STUDENT wishes them Godspeed.

[Suggested headline: YMCA/YWCA proven worthwhile]

When the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A’s were talked of here, some were opposed to organizing, preferring to run along awhile in the old rut. They doubtless think differently now.

Receptions, like the one given at the opening of this term, are just what we need, and should have at opening of every term. They are just formal enough to be worthy of an intellectual and moral set of students, and informal enough to gain with ease the object of their inauguration.

[Suggested headline: Social notes and updates]

Freshman Hewstreet of Ames, who was at Cornell last year is with us this term.

Prof. Knapp gave a Lawn Tennis party Saturday evening at Woodward Place. Those who were so fortunate as to be invited reported a most enjoyable time.

In the LATE report of the decoration sessions held at the I. A. C. we noticed that an oration by R. F. Hodson, entitled Eulogy on Abraham Lincoln, and also one by F. E. Davidson, entitled, Our Destiny, were by mistake left out.

What Are You Here For?

No doubt most of our students would answer, if asked this question—work. But would not some at least think that their object in coming to college a very vague one. When we see students trying to shirk their work or selecting an easy course, we have serious doubts of their success. They seem to be seeking a good time, little dreaming that they injure no one but themselves. Were you sent here, or did you come? Are you searching for a royal road to learning, or are you willing to toil weeks, months, and years, in training and developing those faculties which nature has most bounteously bestowed upon you? This is no place for idle dreaming, but a place for effort, for work; sincere, honest and faithful work.

[Suggested headline: YMCA/YWCA reception a success]

The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. gave their first reception on Friday evening July 25th, to which a most cordial invitation was extended to all the students.

The reception was held on the first floor of the Main Building.

The balls were elegantly decorated, and the artistic arrangements of the decorations made them more inviting than ever before showing the taste of the ladies of the Y. W. C. A.

The reception committee were Misses Morrison, Mills and Roberts assisted by Messrs Reynolds, Norton, Merrill and Shoemaker and the hearty welcomes which were extended to all, insured each one, of other than an unpleasant time.

The principal feature of the reception was the tendency on the part of everyone present to be entertaining, and in this way all were made to enjoy a pleasant evening. An appropriate program was carried out consisting of the following:

Recitation, Legion of the Organ Builder, G. W. Randiett.

Sextette, Miss Mills and Mr. Norton, accompanied by Misses Nichols, Chamberlain and Messrs Norton and Reynolds.

Reading, A Tale of the Two Cities, Mrs. Chamberlain.

Piano Duet, Mrs. Barrows and Mrs. Owens.

Monologue, Auntie Doleful's Visit, Miss Curtiss.

Recitation, The Soldier's Death Dream, E. E. Faville.

Vocal Duet, The Pilot, Messrs Cochran and Norton.

Address, J. C. Norton.

[Suggested headline: Notes on mail call, vocal music]

We are much pleased to see the tear of the "want-a letter-student," quickly dried up, as he rushes out for his noon day mail, all on account of the promptness of our mail cart.

The next attraction is the cantata "Ruth the Moabitess” to be given in the chapel Saturday evening, August 9. All lovers of vocal music look [forward] to this coming event, expecting a treat. The societies will give way to it and a large attendance is expected.

Athletic Notes.

The I. A. C. A. A., is out of debt and is in a prosperous condition.

Trotter and Chicago. run a 100 yard race the other evening, Chicago won by several yards making it in 17 seconds.

The new vaulting polo costing $6.50 is in constant use up to date. Foster, Davidson and Strong seem to be about equally skillful in using it. Look out for a record of 10 feet this fall.

Prof. Weihe has kindly consented to teach a class of athletically inclined students to use the bars. The boys like to see the faculty take an interest in student matters.

Quite a number of the boys have purchased running shoes and suits. Some good records will be made this fall. Davidson is reported to have made the 100 yards in 10 5-10 seconds last week.

In the state field of Michigan, Burnette of the M. A. C. won 10 first prizes and two seconds.

Yale's noted sprinter, Sherrill, lowered his 100 yard record 10 1-5 to 10 seconds at the spring meeting, May 12. Another Yale man, Williams, broke the inter-collegiate 120 yard hurdle race, his time being 16 3-5 seconds.

The best record ever made in any intercollegiate meeting on throwing the ball was made May 17, 1879, by R. H. Treman of Cornell University N. Y. He throwing 379 feet 6 5-10 inches. W. Zmunt, of the I. A. C., last term beat this record by several feet, on the I. A. C. grounds in the presence of some fifty spectators.

Our boys must bear in mind that if they expect to do anything in the next state field day that they must begin to train at once and keep up their training, one cannot get in condition to make records without severe training.

The Vets. Hold an Interesting Session.

The Veterinary Medical Society held a very interesting session at their hall, August 1, 1890.

The following responded according to program.

First a speech by Mr. Whitbeck, subject “Fistula." The subject was ably discussed by all present.

Next was a speech by J. Replogle on the subject of Caponizing. His talk was interesting and instructive.

Following this was a paper by Mr. Sorenson on the subject of Anthrax, which was readily discussed by the society on account of its being one of the most complex diseases that a surgeon has to treat.

Mr. Ingmand then spoke of The Out-look for Veterinary Practitioners, which was well received by the society. Volunteers were called for Messrs Heck and Austin responded.

Several new members were initiated at the business session and became regular members of the society.

The Society with Professor M. Stalker as president is enjoying great prosperity and cannot help but benefit its members.

BASEBALL.

The Freshmen Goose Egged.

The game between the Freshmen on one side and The World on the other was called at 10:30 a. m. last Saturday. Mr. Richardson being the Umpire. At the end of the the 5th inning the score stood 5 to 0 in favor of the nine picked from the four "skrub" classes, outside of the Freshman class. The freshmen take the field with [Benjamin] in the box and Strong behind the bat.

Ashford is first to bat, making a base hit. He is followed by Beyer who makes a two bagger and runs Ashford in, Foster next lines out a two base strike giving Beyer a chance to make his score. Thomburg, Graham and Haven take up the bat and strikes out in succession, meanwhile Forster makes home on a pass ball.

The Freshmen then take the bat with Beyer behind them and Thornburg in the box. Duroe and Strong both take up the wood but can not find the leather. Hariman next makes a [foul] bit, and on the third strike, through some bad playing on first makes two bases. Benjamin now lines her to the short stop, who puts her to third putting Hariman out.

In the second inning Emery fans, Day is hit by pitcher, not holding first he is put out on second. Lovejoy takes base on balls. Ashford then bats and Lovejoy is put out on second. Or the Freshmen, Day sends the leather to second. McCarthy and Lewis both fan out. The Freshmen in the next inning change their battery to Strong and Duroe. Ashford gets to first, Beyer strikes a one bigger, Ashford making a score. Foster bats a fly which is caught by left fielder. Thornburg and Graham both make out on first.

Of the Freshmen, Earnest makes first, McKee fans and Earnest dies on first. Duroe makes a one bagger and gets to third on passed balls. Strong next fans and Duroe dies on third.

Haven bats first in the fourth inning, Emery and Day both fan out, Lovejoy takes bat. Haven makes score on passed balls, Lovejoy fans out.

Hariman of the Freshmen lines her to second and is out on fly. Benjamin sends the leather to first and is also out on fly. Day strikes and is put out on first. Ashford is first man to bat in the fifth inning, he sends out a fielder good for three bases, being certain of a score he is put out before be touches home base. Beyer fans out. Foster is hit by pitcher. Thornburg sends her to the left field for a two bagger, but is out on a fly.

The Freshmen then take the bat and McCarthy, Lewis and Ernest each fan out.

It being very hot and noon drawing nigh the game was brought to a close at the end of the fifth inning.

Engineers.

August 1st, the Engineering Society held its first regular meeting in the Philo. Hall. The attendance was slim, but those few that were there announced it one of the best sessions held this year.

A paper by Mr. Dickenson, on the manufacture of hand made files, was very instructive and was followed by a short discussion.

The Journal Reviews by Messrs. Hinds and Millburn, gave short accounts of the important inventions and engineering works [occurring] in the past few weeks.

The discussions by Messrs. Ashford, and Shawm, on the selection, construction and strength of different kinds of foundation was very minutely discussed. Mr. Dyer's talk on the construction and use of the steam engine indicator card, was well worth the time of all our engineering students, as the principles were clearly defined.

Mr. Davidson's paper on [transition] R. R. curves was interspersed by the ringing of the warning at which the society adjourned.

Every student taking either engineering course should become a member of the society, and take an active part as the advantages of studying up new projects and inventions, and delivering them to the society, are [incalculable]. The work obtained in this society arrives at the same result as the Literary Societies, and fits the engineer better for his work to follow.

The Christian Endeavor Society Entertainment.

The Christian Endeavor Society of the Congregational Church at Ames gave a concert and ice cream sociable at the church Friday evening, August first.

The concert, with the exception of two pieces, was given by college talent.

A bus load of our best singers, under the charge of Miss Pike, carried out the following program.

First a duet entitled The Pilot Brave by Messrs Norton and Cochran. The piece was nicely rendered and throughout was well received by the audience.

Next came a vocal solo Ave Maria, with Cello Obligato, by Miss Stella Bartlett. Miss Bartlett has a fine sweet voice and her rendering shows careful training.

Following this came a duet, When the evening breeze is sighing, by Miss Mills and Mr. Norton, with vocal accompaniment by a quartette of the following voices: Miss Chamberlain and Nichols and Messrs. Reynolds and Shoemaker. It was the same piece that Miss Mills and Mr. Norton sang at the reception on the evening of July 25th and was rendered in the same fine style.

The next piece was a solo entitled Calvary, by Mr. Cochran. This is the first time Mr. Cochran has appeared in public as a soloist. He has a very rich well trained voice and is one of the best singers in college.

Rev. Wells next rendered Schubert’s Serenade upon his cello. He showed himself to be master of his instrument, and the prolonged applause expressed its appreciation by the audience.

O Swallow, happy Swallow, by the Misses Mills needs no remark, as they are well known as two of our best sopranoists.

The last on the program was the ice cream and cake participated in by the entire audience, as well as the singers. This was decidedly the feature of the evening. The concert was pronounced a success by all present. Our singers did justice to themselves and all showed the effects of Miss Pikes careful training.

Military Notes.

The officers and non commissioned officers have guard mount every Thursday evening at seven o,clock. By this plan guard mount can be more thoroughly learned than if taken on regular drill days, while it also leaves more time for brigade drill.

Chief trumpeter Goldsmith not having returned to college; Mr. Henry has been promoted to that position.

The military dept. has bought a new drum.

Miss Belle Gaston has resigned as Capt. of Co. G, and Miss Kate Porter is now in command of the company,

By order of the trustees, the students rooms must be inspected each morning, by the steward or persons appointed by him. Col. Lincoln has turned over the work to the Captains and first Lieutenants, who take their turns, as officer of the day. There is already a marked improvement in the appearance of the rooms. The plan meets the approval of the students; why not go a step further, and abolish the present procter system. Make the officer of the day, responsible for the good order of the school, this is in part a military institution, and certainly military decorum would not be to severe on the boys.

The officers of the day report that the sanitary condition of the old college needs attention.

The new students form a [separate] squad under the command of Lieut. Dean.

[Suggested headline: Science Club]

The Science Club held their first meeting for this term last Friday. Although they had no regular program, yet they had a very interesting session. Mr. Henry Rolfs read a paper on the crossing of con, deduced from experiments begun by Prof. Crozier in '87. Prof. Osborn presented for examination some pieces of the meteor which fell in the northern part of this state. These pieces were donated to the college museum by trustee Secore.

Prof. Pammel gave the result of a study of the seed coats of the genus Euphorbia to determine the species; and also mentioned the recent experiments in sterilizing milk in order to destroy tuberculosis bucilli. Considerable interest was taken in discussing these papers. The club appointed a committee to select a scientific periodical which shall be donated to the college library. The next meeting of the club will be held on Friday, August 14. All interested in science are invited to attend.

The club is doing excellent work, and the students in the scientific course can not afford to slight the meetings. Devote an evening to the science club and you shall be well paid for your time.

The Library.

The latest improvement in the library is the labeling of the books upon the outside. Each book is to have, and most of them already have, a label upon the back showing at once the class to which it belongs and the number of the book in that class. The books in any class are arranged alphabetically according to the newest approved system. This will be a great aid to those wishing to find books. There is already a catalogue of cards containing, both the titles and the names of the authors arranged alphabetically. These cards give the class and the number of the book in the class and the directory on the door gives the alcove in which that class is found so that any one with a little practice can find any book there.

The library contains about 8000 volumes. Each department contains the best books on that subject. The departments in science and engineering are especially strong and new books are being added every year. Yearly all the leading magazines are taken and have been bound and an index secured 80 that articles on any subject that has been discussed in them can be readily found.

Few students appreciate until they have visited other colleges the advantages they may enjoy in the library here. The opportunity it offers, by giving them access to a large collection of books not largely novels or histories but just what every student needs to supplement bis text book if he is to do thorough work, should not be overlooked by those deciding what college they will enter or students in recommending their college to others.

Four of the leading dailies and a large number of weekly papers and scientific journals are taken giving full information on the leading events of the day.

It opens at 10 o'clock in the morning and remains open during the study hours of the day except from 1 until 2 in the afternoon. During the time it is open any person is at liberty to use any book or paper in the library but are not allowed to take them from there without a written order from the professor in the department to which the book belongs.

Bachelor Session.

The Bachelors opened by roll call and quotations, the chaplain not being present. After this Mr. Branvig favored us with the selection “Rock Me to Sleep Mother."

The next exercise was [an] essay in which Mr. Kanfman told us of the “Sub-Treasury Scheme.' He presented in an able manner the stand of the Farmers Alliance and pointed out the [impracticable] points of the “Ware house plan."

The next on the program should have been an oration but the orator was "not present or accounted for."

There being some misunderstanding about whether the old or the new music committee was to procure musicians, the president called in vain for music.

The question "Resolved that the state should have absolute control of the liquor traffic within its borders” was advocated by Messrs. Eaton and Swift, and opposed by Messrs. Brandvig and Steel. Messrs. Oggel, Scott, Ballreich and Bishop responded to the call for volunteers, so that the subject was discussed in all its phases to some extent. It was decided in favor of the affirmative. The debate was followed by a by a five minutes speech in which Mr. Dewell ushered us into the affairs of [Newfoundland].

This was followed by a solo, "Some Day I'll Wander Back [Again]," by Miss Garth.

In the two minute speeches, Mr. Ballreich did not loose anytime on the subject “Mr. Blaire's proposed Reciprocity Treaty." Mr. Armstrong made a big speech for such a little man, about the "Summer Vacation." Mr. Graham was at a loss to know how much he could tell us about “The tennis party” without getting into trouble with the boys. Mr. Muhs in talking upon "The prospects of the I. A. C. said the present senior class would be a benefit to the world when it graduated.

The closing exercises was an oration by Mr. Chamberlain entitled, "Spain in America." He said "the Spaniards, the real explorers were justly entitled to the rights of such, but while other nations sought to settle for humanity's sake she came for the wealth of the country. Mexico and [Peru] will ever stand as monuments to show the treachery, cruelty and deceit of the Spaniard. They came not to settle but to conquer. Her treachery betrayed herself. Thus are visible the causes of the fall of Spain in America.”

[Suggested headline: Tennis association stalls]

An attempt was made by two or three of our wideawake students to organize a lawn tennis association. A meeting was held, a constitution adopted and everything seemed favorable for the new association, but for some explainable reason no officers have been elected, and nothing further done. It seems as if the rule is true here, as well as elsewhere, that in all such enterprises two or three must do the work, while the rest enjoy the fruits of their labor. But if for any reason these leaders of industry drop out of the ranks, there seems to be no one able or willing to take their place, consequently the enterprise usually entirely ceases.

[Suggested headline: Railroad desired to connect Ames, college]

The Junior Civils are at work in laying out a railroad to Ames. There has been much speculation upon the advisability of putting in a motor line between the college and town. The first cost, it is true would be rather great, but think of the advantages of a rapid transit line. We believe if such a line was constructed and properly managed, that the [attendance] of the college could be easily doubled, provided, that students were given the option of rooming in Ames or at the College. Again, this would result in more friendly relations between the people of the city and school; under the present system, they know little and care less for college matters; because they know but little about them. Three hundred students boarding in town would change all this. It would change Ames into one of the most enthusiastic college towns in the west, and we would no longer be regarded as the inmates of some charitable Institution.

Callanan college of Des Moines, has about 100 students in its school of science. Liberal advertising is what did it. Who knows how many are taking the summer course of science at the I. A. C?

Highland Park college of Des Moines is putting in the finest electrical laboratory and testing machinery in the west. Pres. Longwell is a most successful business man, and his name alone insures the success of the new college.

A number of seniors have already secured positions which they will occupy soon as the term closes. There is always a demand for our boys. Some will go to Michigan, some to Texas and some to California. Thus it is that the influence of the I. A. C. is felt throughout the breadth and length of the land.

Tribute to Chas J. Cotey, '87, Late Professor, Dakota Agricultural College.

In a few years our silent friend mastered business principles and acquired business facilities rarely [equaled] and seldom excelled in this age of industrial and business pursuits. Along the journey of his brief life, he stamped upon his fellowmen his peculiar fitness, tact or genius for manipulating the finer and more [important] business machinery. It is said he worked with ease and held his ideal of justice always uppermost in all his transactions. He believed that

"All are not just because they do no wrong; But he who will not wrong me when he may— He is truly just."

He remembered his friends at all times; he thought of the sick in their affliction; he had a charity that extended sympathy and the open hand; he was reserved in manner to a modest degree, yet he quit himself like a man in contact with his fellowmen. His power over self was a characteristic most golden as he stood in a manner dumb on many trying occasions. An expert in business, a lover of justice, the students' sincere friend, a faithful husband,—he died battling with disease.

C. A. C.

[Suggested headline: Why successful freshman can falter]

We have often heard the question asked why it was that students who made the best records during their Freshman year often make but average or poor records further on in the course.

Usually these students are in advance of their class when they enter and need not devote much time to their studies in order to make good recitations. Such a course instead of developing the mind, rather tends to cause habits of carelessness. Consequently when new studies aro taken up, these students often find themselves out-ranked by students who entered with but little preparation, but who by habits of careful study, during their first year's work, can now readily lead their class. If you are ahead, don't waste your time, but devote it to library or society work that you may not fall behind.

The National Game at the I. A. C. is saved from an untimely death, and is in a fair way to recover its usual vigor. The freshmen have a strong nine and they know it, consequently they are anxious to play any body. "Scrub” games are the rage now. Last Friday evening the junior and soph's played the freshmen and prep's on the cottage diamond, the study bell found three innings played and the score 10 to 6 in favor of the higher class men. Richardson acted as umpire. During the game Mitchell hurt his hand so badly that it had to be sewed up.

A meeting of the Freshman class was held last Thursday evening, and the following officers were elected: A. M. Harvey, Pres.; Miss Flora Nelson, Vice Pres.; W. H. Cochran, Sec.; and E. E. Faville, class Historian. At the close of each election the newly elected officers made short speeches.

There is a great improvement in the condition of things at the cottage dining-hall this term. The meals are so well prepared that the boys can scarcely wait until the jingle rings. They crowd in the hall calling on the name of Austin the dining hall proctor, begging him to ring the jingle. But it is too bad that the boys can't keep from scrapping” right at the table.

The French gutters of the main building have been patched and painted. The prep. as well as the freshie is requested to keep his pedal extremities out of the same, lest perchance, a misplaced [banana] peeling cause him to knock some of the cornice off of the stone finish about the windows below, in his descent, in which case he would be held responsible for injury to college property.

Freddie Muhs, our enterprising comanche comrade is making his way through college, it is said, by flipping pennies. Such boys are sure to make their mark in the world. We like to see the enterprising self-made man.

Printing and Shipping Updates

Hey everyone! Here’s a transparency report:

I had been in close communication with my initial digital printer throughout several weeks in August during the preorder period. As I went to place the order on September 12th (the final day of preorders), I received a reply indicating that the company went on indefinite hiatus. From the moment I received the e-mail, I diligently searched for a replacement. 

I found another printing company that I have been working with: 360 Digital Books. I sent the files over once I received my revised quote for sturdier paper and proper bleed. I am currently awaiting the hard copy proofs, which shall hopefully arrive tomorrow or early next week.

Here is the current status of the print copies:

As you can see, the proofs have been generated and should soon be on their way! According to the quote, the proofs are overnighted. Once they are signed off, the physical books should arrive in early to mid-October! From there, I will ship the copies out as soon as possible. The printer is located in Michigan, USA, and they will be shipped to and then distributed from California, USA. 

I will post pictures of the proofs once they arrive, as I have been super looking forward to them (as I’m sure the rest of you are!).

If you didn’t pre-order or reserve a print copy of the zine, there will be a very limited number of extra copies available for purchase on BigCartel once they arrive. The store will be updated with a photo of the actual book and available until all copies are sold. 

Digital PDF soon!

In the meantime, I am finishing up the digital PDF conversion of the zine! It will include an interactive table of contents, hyperlinks to contributors’ pages, and high-resolution pages with artworks in their natural orientations. I am working on converting all of the text entries to actual text so that they may be highlighted or interpreted for text-to-speech, as the original files were required to be flattened for printing. 

The PDF will be available for download on Gumroad once the print books arrive. It will be priced at 5+ USD, which allows you to donate anything from $5 and up. This amount will be donated in full to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. 

If you contributed to and/or purchased a print copy of the zine, you will be sent a free copy of the PDF to the e-mail address you provided either in your application or with your BigCartel purchase. 

The PDF will be available on Gumroad until November 30, 2018, after which all of the donations from both the physical zines and the PDFs will be collected and then sent to AFSP. You can also follow on Gumroad to be notified of PDF availability. 

Thank you all for your patience and understanding. I am so excited to see all our our hard work come to fruition for such an amazing cause!

With the government getting stricter on keeping tabs of tax paying citizens to reduce the occurrence of black money, citizens are finding themselves in a rather stressful situation; needing to apply for Aadhaar, linking Aadhaar to bank accounts where applicable and most importantly linking PAN number with Aadhaar.

In order to do so, one must first obtain a PAN Card. PAN stands for Personal Account Number and is a mandatory document for all Indian Citizens. This holds true especially in the case of Tax paying citizens. Individuals can apply for a PAN Card and so can organizations, registered companies and firms that hold current accounts in Banks.

In case you do not have a PAN Card and don’t know how to fill PAN application form 49a, you need not worry as it is quite simple to apply for one.

How to get form 49A:

The form can be downloaded from the Alankit website in PDF format and can be printed out to be submitted in hard-copy format at any of the TIN-FCs or PAN Centers managed by NSDL. If you prefer to proceed online ensure that you have a functioning credit card or net banking facilities.

Regarding Payments: In order to process PAN Cards within India, the fee is around Rs.110. If you are submitting the hard-copy and do not prefer to make payments online, then you may easily make the payment in cash at Alankit’s authorized TIN-FCs or PAN Centers managed by NSDL (in return you will get a payment slip).

• Acknowledgement Number: Upon submission you will receive an acknowledgement number which is crucial to ensure the successful submission of your application. However this number is not a substitute for PAN number. But with this, you can track the status of the PAN application online.The PAN card will be sent to your residential address.
