North' HEN Juan Ignacio Gonxales sailed from the balmy shores Nicaragua nine years ago It was with a light heart and his lasy brown eyes smiled a fond farewell in the hope of returning to be great among hls countrymen. Just at a moment when hls studious efforts were to be crowned with success he sinned. Sinned for another. The handsome little Spaniard haa been a student at Alabama Polytech- cni Institute, at Auburn. While a member of the student body he work ed hard. At examination times Juan entered the class rooms with a confi dent air. Another of hls countrymen who had come to the United States on a like mission as Gonxales was the letter's undoing. They sift next to each other at a re cent examination. One had mastered hls studies; the other had not. A look of appeal, a gesture maybe of despair touched a sympathetic chord In Juan's heart. He never debated the moral features involved, but thought of hls fellow countryman who had failed. If a heart could be made happy and fond parents In the little South American country be made glad and joyous wasn't It worth sinning? Thus thought the studious youth. A moment later a deft hand had placed a correct solution of a calculus exami nation at the disposal of the despairing laggard.

When this wise Individual read the forged examination and then pondered on the work the laggard had done dur ing the year, he was positive there had been a bit of chicanery. Juan, when faced by the tutor, ad mitted having helped hls countryman. Shortly after this little tragedy In the college world waa enacted Juan found himself entering the academic building of the Georgia School of Technology with a hopeful yet un steady heart President Matheson listened to the confession, for, to the mild mannered young Spaniard's credit, he told all. “And yon would have been gradu ated this year?" questioned the presl- ATLANTA TYPO UNION IS HOLDING ELECTION Atlanta Typographical union* No. 48.

"Well, rail again tomorrow, take the matter up with the faculty and aee what can be done.” The fountain personified aa eternal seemed bubbling over now. After all, thought Juan, I'll return to my balmy land and make an aged father and mother happy In their declining years. Visions of great engineering feats formed hls dream castles. It was a sad awakening the next day when the strict rules of the Georgia Institution forbade entrance under such circum stances. Juan didn’t flinch. He's not that kind. Strolling across the campus the downcast heart, however, voiced Itself through the big, lasy brown eyes and a faraway look of sadness shadowed the handsome face.
