THURSDAY EVENING. JANUARY 25, 1934
AN AMERICAN YOUTH MOVEMENT?
5. Conclusions
The original , question now presents itself for an an
swer. , What are the possibilities of a Youth Movement
in America? After a glance at the present situation,
it is 'finite evident that there is not one now. The col-
lege landscape is cluttered up with all sorts of organiza-
lions with purposes, no two of which seems to be alike
A unified Youth Movement is still non-existent. With
this picture in mind, then, some conclusions can be made.
The first thing that stands out is that the majority
of American students don't particularly want a Youth
Movement. 'Whether this is good or bad is beside the
point now. The fact remains that, aside from a few
scattered voices in the wilderness, American students
are content to take things as they come. The doings
of the campus are of more immediate concern to them
than national and international events. They are typic
ally conservative, being nearly the last, not the first,
to change. If there is to be a Youth Nioventznt, this
mass must be aroused to a necessity for it. Otherwise,
youth will go on unheeded.
At the present, it is doubtful if there is any group
'which is capable of taking the leadership in forming a
real Youth Movement. Furthermore, all of the student
groups ignore the non-college young people. In order
to accomplish anything, all classes of youth, not only
students, must stand together. The importance of this
vast group of other youth cannot be overemphasized.
The radical 'student groups; if they ' continue their
present tactics, Neill never be capable of taking the lead
ership in forming a real Youth Movement. They now
fight against each other while that demon, Capitalism,
whom they both set out to destroy ; grinson the side
lines. In spite .of their sincerity, they behave in such
an ill-mannered way that the neutrals become disgisted
and refuse to cooperate. They can, however, help to
arouse the more complacent young people. If their
scathing denunciations of the "profit system" do no more
than to set others thinking, they are worthwhile.
Likewise, the National Stutkmt Federation of Amer-
ice, does not give very real promise at the present time
of leading youth oat of the darkness. The N. S. F. A.'s
aims are entirely commendable, but its composition and
actions do not back them up. The Federation may say
that it "stands ready for leadership" in helping the stu:
dent cope with "the problems of a maladjusttql society,"
yet at its recent convention it voted against unemploy-
Molt insurance, for some censorship of the press, for
the R. 0. T. C., and for less discussion of national prob
lems. The trouble is that,thej , edcration:is J an essen
tiallY.conservative bOq; e*poped Of the dampus .;poli
ticians" in sonic 150 cnlNgeSand'universities. Yet.the
N. S; F. A. has the best Chance for leadership. 'The
delegates to its conventions are truly representative or
the average American student. They have had training
in leadership and administration which the radicals lack.
If these abilities could be coupled with a more liberal
viewpoint and a less superior attitude, the opportunity
for progress would be much greater.
The outlook for a Youth Movement in this country
at the present time, therefore, is not very brigh t . In ad
dition to the lack of interest and leadership ; there are
other factors which - work against real unification.
America is such a large country and made up of so many
different races that there is not the same community of
interest that exists among the youth in some of the
European countries. Furthermore, there is no tradition
of conflict or no great national danger - which tends to
hind the youth together in such nations as Germany and
Italy. It is doubtful, therefore, if anything short of no
intense wave of nationalism would fuse the young people
of this country into a Youth Movement.
But is this to be lamented? Certainly an organi
zation of young people which is ready to carry out the
word of a dictator is less desirable than a disorganized
but unemotional body of youth. A Youth Movement
without reason runs the danger of becoming either a
Children's Crusade or putty in the hands of a deme
gogue.
It is another kind of Youth Movement that America
needs. Young people, especially college students, must
become aware of present problems. And they must help
to cope with these problems not by dedicating themselves
to emotionalism and flag-waving, but by contributing
to their intelligent understanding and solution through
organization, discussion, agitation, sillily, and entrance
into practical politics. The partial attainment of this
is more to be &sired than the very difficult formation
of a unified group of young people who might turn into
American Black Shirts.
Where's Elmore?
This was the query that some twenty odd COL
LEGIAN reportres, Doc Ritenour, Andy Zarger, Dean
Warnock, Chief Yougel, 'Men Dunlap, and the town
Coroner were asking at six o'clock last night, after
receiving a "tip" that Good Old Ehnorc had become
dsspondent over final exams and had "ended it all."
It seems that some prankish little jokester, prob
ably Bezdek, decided to make things interesting for
the ordinarily dull lives of COLLEGIAN reporters. We
repeat, it was at six o'clock that the jokester con
ceived the idea and first tipped off one of this rag's
enterprising cubs. Promptly at 6:01 o'clock, the
reporter started to do some fast telephoning.
gleaned some very interesting information about the
tragedy before discovering that it was all a hoax:
Conrad Haig. '35
.lames It. Watson Ir.
Chief Yougel: "Hell, they oughta tell me if
there 's a suicide. They're supposed to call the cor-
Doe Ritenom.: (Not at home. No statement.)
Doc Matra: "Suicide? No, I didn't hear any
thing. But if anybody knows anything, it'll be Chief
Zarger, he knows everything. Why his wife is ..."
Chief Zurger: "Suicide? Yes, sure, I heard
about it. Sonic student told me about it as I was
leaving Old Main at five o'clock. Yes, I'm checking
or. it, I'll have some information for you later."
Eventually, some one got the bright idea of cal
ling up dear Elmore's landlady. Sure enough, there
was an Elmore in the directory and he did have a land
lady. This landlady was greatly surprised when ask
ed for the details of Me. Elmore's suicide. We don't
know for sure, but we imagine that Mr. Elmore was a
bit shocked himself. When interviewed he said he
had no statement to make other than that the Anwar
Club should buy Chief Andy a new watch.

John E. Ryan, FrOthy Financier, has a warm, kind
soul. Like a real humanitarian he has a habit of trav
eling down to the State Pen to cheer the hardened
inmates with his soothing fiddle. Apparently, he's
been quite a success: As he entered the Pen on his
most recant visit he saw 'a huge sign:
