Lack of Control A first semester freshman (or better still, a high school student), can o r der and receive a Jacksonville State University class ring as easily as a graduating senior. In short, there are no restrictions as to who may or may not buy class rings. Other colleges and universities have restrictions on the purchasing of rings, but that is beside the point. We don't ndlaws because of what others are doing. The Student Government Association determines which company receives the franchise to sell the official JSU ring on campus. This year, the Josten Company was chosen. The Josten ring is the official ring of JSU, but other companies still sell them both on and off campus. A Josten representative comes to the JSU campus about once a month, but rings may be purchased anytime in the traffic office located in the Grab. The traffic office has been handling the ring sales as a matter of conven- ience to students for the past few months. Normally, the rings are sold in the SGA office, but when the offices were moved to Dixon Hail, the Traffic Department agreed to handle the matter temporarily. While we are on the subject.

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Saturday, July 25, 2015 Braves.com Banuelos, Braves drop battle of rookies By Jenifer Langosch and David Cobb / MLB.com | @LangoschMLB | 1:35 AM ET ST. LOUIS -- After opening his career with five no-decisions, lefty Tim Cooney notched his first Major League win while throwing a career-high seven innings in the Cardinals' 4-2 victory over the Braves at Busch Stadium on Friday night. Cooney received most of his support from center fielder Randal Grichuk, who connected for a two-run homer and scored twice against Braves starter Manny Banuelos. Three of the four runs Banuelos allowed over five-plus innings came with two out. The Braves shaved a four-run deficit in half with a two-run sixth that snapped Cooney's 12-inning scoreless streak. Cameron Maybin's RBI double off Cooney was Atlanta's only extra-base hit of the night. "This was definitely my best fastball command, as well as off-speed pitches," said Cooney, who finished seven innings on 74 pitches. "When you're able to locate the ball, good things are going to happen. I was definitely on today, and I feel like I've been getting a little bit better each start." With the win, the Cardinals improved to 35-12 at home this year and are a season-high 28 games over .500. The Braves have won just three of their last 11. MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Randal rakes: Just as he did on Thursday, Grichuk blasted a two-run homer in his first at-bat of the night on Friday.

Four volumes, boxed, $3.00 Single 'VOlumes, 75 cents, postpaid M. A. DONOHUE &- CO. 701-127 S. DEARBORN ST. CHICAGO Copyright, 1905 M. A. Donohue & Coi INTRODUCTION. From whatever point of view the character ot Eugene Field is seen, genius-rare and quaint presents itself in childlike simplicity. That he was a poet of keen perception, of rare discrimina­ .tibn, all will admit. He was a humorist as delic cate and fanciful as Artemus Ward, Mark Twain~ Bill Nye, James Whitcomb Riley, Opie Read, or Bret Harte in their happiest moods. Within him ran a poetic vein, capable of being worked in any direction, and from which he could, at will, extract that which his imagination saw and felt most. That he occasionally left the child-world, in which he longed to linger, to wander among the older children of men, where intuitively the hungry listener follows him into his Temple of Mirth, all should rejoice, for those who knew him not, can while away the moments imbibing the genius of his imagination in the poetry and prose here presented. Though never possessing an intimate acquaint~ anceship with Field, owing largely to the dis­ parity in our ages, still there existed a bond of 3 INTRODUCTION friendliness that renders my good op1nion of him in a measure trustworthy.

    THE MIGRANT Published by ?he Tennessee Ornithological Society, to Record and Encourage the Study of Birds in Tennessee. Issucd in March, June, September, and December. VOL.. 50 JUNE. 1979 NO. 2 .. ..- ANNUAL AUTUMN HAWK COUNT, 1978 In 1978 the Tennessee Ornithological Society continued its unbroken series of autumn hawk counts begun in 1950. Every fall has had its own interesting features. In 1978 the Broad-winged Hawk total was 1 1,927, lowest since 1969. The other species flew by in record numbers, however. Sharp-shins totaled 208, exceeded cmly in 1977. when the count was 427. The Red-tailed Hawk total was 1 18. just under the 1975 record 125. The Marsh Hawk Count-2Gwas second only to the 1975 total of 33. We had 34 Ospreys; our highest count of that species was 36, in 1972. American Kestrels fell far below last years count of 84, but at 26 the 1978 count ranked third: below 34 in 1974 and equal to 26 in 1972. Sharp-shinned Hawk numbers have been increasing steadily every year in the T.O.S. data. since 1974. Although below the 1977 count, the Sharp-shin flight can still be considered in an upward trend, because in 1978 it was so much higher than in 1976. The same apparent reversal of upward trend occurred in the northeast, where Sharp-shin migration is much heavier than in our area. In 1975 the counts of Red-tailed and Marsh Hawks were higher than in 1978 principally because the T.O.S. conducted a record 98 watches, for a total of 442 hours of observation in 1975.
