THE UNFORTUNATE RHODES SCHOLAR
Although Minor Wham Hale Thompson and his
henchmen running on an "America First" ticket re
ceased a sescrc ballot drubbing in Tuesday's States )
wide primary• election, his ideas seem to have found
staunch support !root Congressman Fred A Britten
of Illinois In a speech before the House of Repre
sentatives three weeks ago Congressman Britten said,
"Run down the newspapers who oppose this legisla
tion (for the benefit of the U S Navy), look into
their editorial departments and too will find Rhodes
scholarship men, British subjects. propagandists and
pacifists controlling them"
With an eye for the sensational and the conse
quent increase in profits den teed therefrom, Mr
Hearst's Washington Herald sewed Mr Britten's
speech and spread the Rhodes Scholarship paragraph
extra big and black type as a test for an edam' it
Which cosered the entire top-half of a page "If,"
says last week's Time, "the ideas of Mr. Hearst's
n4wspaper and the words of Congressman Britten
elle carried to a logical conclusion, a Rhodes Scholar,
upon his return to the United States after three years
study at °scold, can do practically nothing" What
ever walk - of hie he should enter, he aught spread
un-American ideas among his impressionable com
panions Soon someone will propose that American
tourists abroad be htted with blinders and car muffs
to present them from getting an idea that any one
else is better than themselves Such a mose would
be unnecessary, however: since the egotism of the
average American traveler and the press censorship
in Europe are sufficient pi otection
Returning to the Intim tunate Rhodes Scholars,
what, one wondeis, NV is the original purpose of giv
ing those scnolarships s Did pot the donor have
some idea of broadening the viewpoint of .1 Chlht.ll
new and fostering a spirit of harmony between the
two English-speaking nations , - If so, the Scholar
ships are certainly a failure, according to Congress
man Britten Then, tile three rears at Oka ord oar
loss's the viewpoint mid lov it American subjects cross
the ocean whistling "Yankee Doodle." only to return
humming "Gad Save the King." Our friends, the
Englishmen, must hese something other than the
inability to see, a joke to accomplish so complete a
conversion in so short a time
but Congressman Britten is probably mistaken
and anything Mr Hearst says must be discounted
by his love of the sensational for its own sake. One
rcmembei s, for example, what a fuss his newspapers
made by printing the lake /Ili:mean "documents."
Rhodes Scholois are supposed to be the cream of
American undeigradiites, men of exceptional ability
and uncommon good sense Most of them have
passed the impressionable years in this country It
is ridiculous to suppose that in three short years they
should become radicals. should transfer their loyalty
from the mother country and spread false propaganda
favoring the British It is not inliculous to suppose
that sonic of them, it least, have learned to look fair
ly, impartially at both sides of any question involving
the two counties Pi ohably this freedom from sec
tional prejudice is what Messieurs Thompson, Hearst
and Britten would call un-American.
ME IMPORTANT VACATION
With the coming of Spring and the passing of
Faster, the thoughts of the student turn naturally
to suinmei, vacation and work It is none too early
to plan the three months of pleasure or profit, and
the way in which the undergraduate spends this time
deserve% more attention than is usually given to it.
Nine months of the student's year are shaped for
him by the curimulum he is following and extra
curricular activities The summer vacation period
Is his own to use as lie sees fit lie may follow his
own bent and in so doing reveals his true character
II he is pleasure bent and loafs the idle hours away in
glorious leisure, lie will probably do the same in later
Me, if It,s fortunes permit. Should fortune frown
upon him, however, he will spend Just enough time
on some brend•winning activity to get by. Promo-
bons and advancements will be unknown to him an.ll
he ill curse his luck
On the other hand, the student who spends his
leisure wisely, either on practical work in the line of
his future vocation or in amassing dollars to enable
him to finish his education, is usually the one who iv
marked far success in the cold-cold world where
grades Caine in pay env elopes Employers have been
known to base their judgment of college-educated
applicants solely upon how they spent their vacations.
Newspaper publicity given to the problem of the
great unemployed warns the students that jobs will
not be as ease to acquire as they have been in the
oast Unless one has the "pull" (i. e., a relative or
friend in the firm), three-months' jobs have never
Ibeen easy to get This summer it will be increasingly
harder.

All of us either know or have been in the posi
tion of the student who says, "I intended to work
this summer, but try and get a lob" The chances
are ten to one that he didn't really want to work
anyhow The man with ability and energy can always
find a way to turn his talents (if any) into profit.
False pride has no place in the makeup of an ambi
tious young man Two male students of the Univer
sity of California increased their income by caring for
babies while the parents were away; three students
are motormen on street cars, several drive taxis; and
a few act as intepreters to German motion picture
!celebrities living in Hollywood. A French student
,at the Sorbonne University, in Paris, washes cars and
!another writes addresses for a philanthropic fur
!dealer.

I sure get some riled when I see
where some fellow is crowing over the
fact that being older, and having run
into Edgeworth sooner than his less
fortunate compatriots, he challenges
the world as the champion long-time
member of the Edgeworth Club.
lie doesn't deserve any medals. He
got his reward in the enjoyment of his
smoking for the added number of years.
lie nes just lucky in starting sooner,
that's all '
How ever;if you care to del, e into
ancient history, look up when they
first started to pull down the old Grand
Central Station us New York, then
add at least six months to that, and
you will arrive at the approximate
time schen I first joined the club.
I have smoked at least one pipeful
of every other tobacco I have seen
advertised, sometimes through neces
sity, but most of the time to prove to
myself that I have been right in stick
ing to the old blue tin.
Yours truly,
