Nows Editor This Issue THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 31, 1934 FAREWELL TO SENIORS Within a few days, members of the senior class will leave the campus, a phase of their lives complet- ed. A few years ago, the receipt of a diploma was the assurance of a position Yvith the prospect of advance ment bright. A drastic change took place about the time the present graduating class entered College, Gone were the corporations and niulti-department- ali/.ed organization that absorbed the bright young graduate. Men aiul.Yvomen Yvho have been graduated during the last four years have often looked in vain for employment. A college education was regarded once more as a luxury. The realization came that a diploma alone Yvas not assurance of a livelihood. To a certain extent, these conditions still exist. A few seniors have been offered opportunities for work, but the majority are Yvithout knowledge of Yvhat the future may hold. However, the fact that there are some jobs available is an encouraging note. In every cycle there must he an upward movement. As both groups, the employed and the unemployed, leave the campus, a deeper realization of true educa tion should be borne away. College is not a place for acquiring merely fundamental knowledge that will prove a bread and butter winner in the future. There is something far more significant than that. College should represent the opportunity to think, to learn, to formulate a philosophy, of life that will Verve'’lieacon in’ the future widen commercialism may fail. The man Yvho has come anto contact with the really great minds of the past and the present need not be bothered too much by economic standards. It is with this realization that the departing sen iors can dp much for the College. A bit of advice to oncoming undergraduates may help to dispel some il lusions concerning the object of higher education. A hint as to the true meaning of 'education may inspire those Yvho otherwise might falter. An enthusiasm for the associations ot* . the four years just past may demon strate to someone the advisability of college and its opportunities. ACQUAINTANCE WITH THE conditions at the Student Union desk this year should show the need for regulation of committees appointed to attend to the various sieges of ordering that fill the last few weeks of every year. Prospective purchasers were often un able to place their orders because of the prolonged ab sence of committee representatives. Inasmuch as every committee has several mem bers, it should lie so arranged that some one is on duty at all times. If such political reYvards are not cared for in a satisfactory manner in the future, there should be some method devised to compel either atten tion to the job or Yvithholding of financial remunera tion. THOSE WHO ARGUE that the youth of today shows no respect for hallowed traditions and senti mental occasions would be confounded by the unusually large attendance at the annual Decoration Day cere monies. When such occasions are dedicated to future peace, they can only be commended. QUESTIONABLE HONORARIES The work of the committee that began the much needed task of investigating the mass of honoraries that exist should be merely the pioneer movement on the part Of responsible organizaions to remedy an un fortunate situation. Undoubtedly, a committee will con tinue investigations next year. To be an honor, an honor must be exclusive. The majority of campus organizations at present fail to an sYver this requirement. Investigation has shown that approximately ninety percent of the student body is eligible for a key of some description. When this is evident, there can be little question as to the exclusive ness of sbeh organizations. In many institutions, as feYV as fifteen or twenty honoraries are .permitted. The fact that there are ninety here shoYvs hoYV badly the situation has gotten out of hand. It is doubtful if the number can be brought down ? to tYventy, but there is unquestionable evidence that some fail to perform any function that would justify the noun “honor.” . Only 'by permitting the most superior to continue can the function of honoraries be justified. To achieve this goal will be the task of next year's investigators. Asst.

Sunders Mfi CAMPUSEER BY HIMSELF Things Yvcre pretty quiet at the A. K. Pi manse yesterday afternoon what with the holiday et al. Then a frosh named Oeschger, Yvho has aspirations Collegian-wards and is known to the bros. as ‘Scoop/ decided to hold a ‘wet' party. He began his wassail by throwing Yvater on the assembled broth ers. They didn't like the way he played and inime diatoy organized a dry posse Yvhich pursued Scoop to the third floor of the house. Remembering Mr. Banner’s dictum that a neYvspaperman is always re sourceful, he went the fraters one better and climbed out on the roof. Ho was gloating over his escape when he suddenly realized that he had removed most of his clothes before going into the aquatic fray and noYv he stood on very sticky tar in his bare feet while a hot sun beat down on his bare shoul ders —his only covering was a pair of shorts. When lie tried the trapdoor he found it was locked. The bros. had seen to that. Looking around, the only thing he could find was a fire extinguisher. He peered over the edge of the roof, saw the bros. below laughing at him and momentarily contented himself with-a couple, of pot-squirts Yvith the extinguisher. He Yvas pretty Yvell-broiled when a neophyte brother opened a nearby third floor window and somehow got Scoop inside. But the posse saw him crawl in and hounded his tail at once. He fled to the Phi Kappa house and a feYV minutes later Yvas flying through dear old T. N. E. (sub-rosa), but he couldn’t shake thc-m. He decided on the Phi Ep house. He had heard anyone could get lost in there—Jie'd knoYvn people who’d gone there and not returned for weeks. Entering the Purple Portal, be scooted up the stairs •to the third floor but Yvas so illy received there he decided to have a go at the basement. He did. There he encountered a young lass in her scanties reading a copy of Breezy Stories. They Yvere both surprised and Scoop scrambled Yvithout even a passing glance at the cover. Outside the posse was waiting. The bros. took him. back to the A. K. Pi laYvn, wound him many times with clothesline, turned the sprinkler on him, and left him there to struggle. He was still strug gling when yvg left. It Yvas at the parade—there they came, the staunchest, most unflinching of the Borough worthies, saviors of property, providers of merriiVient, defiers of flame-tinged deaths—the members of Dear Old Alpha —cn masse. We scanned their faces looking for the man we knew must be among them, the man Yvho never failed to rally to the cause. .We looked and looked. Where was he? Surely not missing .... “ And then Yve saw *him". : ”He l on Hie sidelines, his head boYved, his face grim and 'slightly suffused with scarlet. . There he stood watching the loyal lads swing by while he, Hummel Fishburn, Yvas not of them .... At the SandYvich Shoppe the other night the long festive board was set for no less- than one-hundred and-fifty persons. Green-clad waitresses moved swift ly about putting things in place the last minute before the banquet. It was going to be Vaffaire grande. Minutes passed nervously while the arrivals Yvere aYvaited. Soon it appeared that the party Yvas going to begin a bit late. A half hour passed—still no din ner. An hour—the kitchen force was Yvarned to keep tilings Yvarm —two hours—only then did they check up on the booking list—yeah, it was the wrong night.

M» Grier ’35, president of next year's Honor So ciety Council," Ernest J. Knulfuss '34, retiring president of the Council, said in a statement summarising the conclusions of the committee. “The committee, as a whole,” he concluded, “feels that the general pur pose of the investigation "is to limit the number of honoraries and socie ties to be .admitted and to .reduce existing fees. It also recommends that societies which do not have a se lect honorary membership be requir ed to eliminate keys. This action should tend to make the existing keys of honorary soeieties more rep resentative of their true worth."'
