Nows Editor This Issue- FRIDAY, DECEAIBER :5. 102(1 THE COLLEGE STUDENT ((SOI) BLESS ’IM) AND THE NEWSPAPER Two days :i"n, ill a Political Science class, a clouded sky jrave birth to the <|iiery: “In his speech in Kansas City on Armistice Day, what did President Cool idl'd give out as the policy ot the administration in re.yard to the World CourtV" The instructor pawed over his class, literally com bed the sea of blank faces —trying to find a semi responsive mind. Obtaining no answer, lie him self was forced to tell the class that the Chief Executive had expressed an attitude of resigna tion—an “Pm-done-with-thc-whole-thing” sort of stand. And the students hastily penned the for mation of foreign policies, and this was something they should know! Even those of us who read nothing but the Police Gazette must have known that the Presi dent was to speak at the unveiling of the giant memorial in Kansas City. But, when the Presi dent's talk was published, word /or word, in al most every newspaper oil the following day— there was not one student in that Political Science class who knew (or cared a darn) what Air. Cool idge said. There is an excuse for one's not reading through a lengthy schoolbov-ish speech on: “How Abraham Lincoln became President.” Hut Air. Coolidge’s talk at least should have been glanced over by everyone; even the lazy, unconcerned stu dent who. unfortunately hut inevitably, will some day ii jec ■ o a citizen ef the tin ted States. T'r ; “1 d ca •'-what-lhe-government's-do ing’’ attitude that is undermining national under standing is sot reserved for college students only. There are a :..eat many men in the outer world who are too lazy to read the newspapers. But Percy Shirk's “cream of the youth of today,’’ who should lie reading.the newspapers, admittedly ale too lazy to hold up their corner of the blanket. Our less fortunate (perhaps) brothers of col lege, whose years oil this earth do not exceed ours, are working in a world which is not so abnormal as this in which we live. They have learned the value which attaches to the really vital news in theL prints., They have made the daily paper, an important' figure in their understanding of the parti they; lire lo play as citizens. These men, who realize that life isTin enormous task and not a vantage point from which to watch a three-ring circus—these men liaye attached lo the newspa per the respect which it merits. Hut the ordinary college student, however, has not vet learned to accept the newspaper as the great source of information which it undoubtedly is. He looks upon it, peradventure, as the med ium through which his institution gels publicity, as the source of the All-American football team. He.knows that tile dailies cany much news of importance—lie knows this, mind you—blit the only questions lie is able to answer concern the latest developments in the ease of “Bum Rodgers” or that wonderful front-page spread of family felicity ill New Jersey. The college student has made up his mind that education is not confined to books. lie knows, 100, that it is not the sole properly of the newspaper. But laziness prevents him from supplementing his book-learning with a know ledge of liie progress of the world—and we ven ture the supposition that if below-gradcs were doled out for not reading newspapers, lie'll ho will ing to part with three cents a day in order lo pass a quiz on current events. At college a man may get his background, his scenery and his drops—but he doesn’t get the action on the stage until he finds out just what is happening on the other side qf his little picket fence. The newspapers provide Hie action that makes the play—the dailies would provide the action even if there were no background. “What a difference just a few cents make" —in one’s education. THE SCRUBS—THE SCRUBS—THE SCRUBS! “Yay, Stale! Yay. TEAAI!” the rooters shout: they run and yell and tell about the way the other team looked sick—was made to, yes, by Penn State’s pick of fiendish, lighting football men. (Next Saturday they’ll shout again.) P.nt wo forgot tlic* hackneyed crock, (not that tiki one—" Your Money Hack”): Out. that old ad age. tri-d and true —’'Give credit lo the man it’s due." Tis true—the TEAM doth boar the name —and gets the glory nr the blame. Bui hearken to me. oh. my cubs: what is a learn without its scrubs? The second-stringers, third and fourth, who fight the TEAM for all they're worth: who labor every day and night unceasingly, so that the might of the giants could not force to yield the TEAM—the TEAM that takes the field. The scrubs keep on—each lakes the bumps as cross buck sends him to the dumps of earth —he sprawls his whole bruised length, just so the TEAM may have the strength and cunning that are needed so to beat and outwit every foe. , President Vice-President - Treasurer in-Chief Assistant Editor Managing I’ditir Women’s Editor H.

Have you noticed a change* in the attitude of the stu dents toward the social conventions? What proportion of the girls of your acquaintance will engage in pelting parties? Again the question of the morals of college students will be rehashed in the public print Such publicity will contain no fundamental crit icism of our colleges and universities. Nothing veil bo said of standardization. Neither will it get at; the real*problems of higher education, such as those of admittance and over emphasis of ath letics, problems that undergraduates themselves are trying to help solve. Likewise neither will it indicate the inclination of many college students to treat with disrespect common “rah rah” ten dencies, and instead, by means of honors, courses, etc., to place greater emphasis on the fad that colleges primarily are institutions of higher learn ing.—From The Bowdoin Orient (Bowdoin (.Vil lage). —The New Student Wheeler Lord, Jr •S.MITUBKS: ‘‘Say, old fire-eater, I heard a giod one lotlay!

You never think of the real things in college. Your mind is continually occupied with nonsense. Von never think in terms of .scholarship ’’ SMITHKUS: “Pardon the interruption.

Well, the Delta Tau Deltas were last on the list. Now, the Acacias received the cup. But the Dells received nothing—save, possibly, a notice from the Dean. Well, to make a long story short: yesterday the Delts did get something. And this is what it was: “A wonderfully-cast, exceptiowtlly-hund-pninted em blem of security: a son of ‘cup’ that borders on the bowl; it looks odd on the mantle beside the other little cup. Can you guess what it was?” “Yes, Smithers, I think J know what you mean. But why all the explanation? And what is the end of the story V” BMITHKKS: “This is the end, Btillosopher.
