Cabbages and Kings ,
The time has come, as the Walrus in Alice
in Wonderland said, to talk of shoes, and ships
and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. That
time of year is fast approaching at which gradu
ating seniors will receive. their sheepskins and
go out to make their separate ways in the cruel,
cruel world.
AT COMMENCEMENT TIME, college news
papers usually sprout forth with eloquent edi
torials giving advice to the graduates. These
ivory tower editorialists present their views on
how the graduate should conduct himself, how
he should look at the world—almost every
thing except what kind of toothpaste he should
use.
• Usually they say nothing that hasn't been
said a hundredfold before—their thoughts are
stale and their words are mere repetition of
last year's scribblingi, which also were repeti
tion, ad infinitum. The editorial writer occas
ionally looks around for something new to say,
then throws up his hands in despair and repeats
the obvious.
One finally begins to wonder: Why bother
with commencement editorials? No one ever
takes the "sage" advice , anyway. People
dom do take advice they haven't asked for.
So, we'd like to say we're not going to wax
pedantic this year. We'd like to, but we can't
resist the temptation. However, it will be short
and sweet.
THE WORLD GRADUATES will be entering
come June 12 isn't the prettiest sight in history
—it never has been. The facts of life are about
the same as they've been since Achilles and
Hector bashed each other over the head on the
plains of Ilium. The world's still the same old
mess it always has been, and we doubt whether
this year's graduating class will be able to do
much about it. No matter how much commence
ment speakers and editorialists might rave, we
doubt whether this or any class will make much
of a dent in the order to things.
But it might be fun to try, and we herewith
extend a hearty bravo to anyone who wants
to take a crack at it.

Special Service of the SU
TO THE EDITOR: Our Student Union has
one service which I believe deserves recogni
tion.
A short time ago I parked my car on campus
during the morning. At five o'clock when I
climbed into the car, I discovered that I had
no ignition key. After searching places I'd been
during the day, and finding no key, I was re
signed to getting home, the hard way. When
finally did get home, to my surprise I found
a post card from Student Union saying that I
could pick up my car keys at the desk. The
ONLY identification in the key case was a
1949 Disabled American Veterans license tag.
That was all the S.U. needed.
A Tough Job
TO. THE EDITOR: After a year of detailed
observation, I would be derelict in my duties
if I did not express appreciation for the out
going business manager and business staff of
the Daily Collegian.
On behalf of the outgoing Senior Editorial. ,
Board, I wish to make this public statement of
commendation for a job well done—a job thai
was ever-craftsmanlike in tangible results,
ever-tedious, thankless and thorough. Faced
with a trzonendous job of equaling the perform
ance of last year's business staff, the 'so.busi
ness boys did just that.
Although the new business staff will have a
high record to match, it has been so
,adequately''
trained that it should have little trouble in ris
ing to even greater pinnacles of success.
—Tom Morgan.
'5O Collegian Editor
Scholarship Discrimination
TO THE EDITOR I was Interviewed several
days ago by an eminent panel of our renowned
faculty constituting the Scholarship Committee
that annually awards a number of scholarships.
I had not been before the Committee ten
minutes when one of the members of that
august body so glibly put this question, "What
was your Father's name in the Old Country?"
If college professors do not have the intellect
ual fortitude and resolution to banish discrimi
nation from their minds, how can the layman
on the street, who for lack of wisdom must fre- t
quently resort to the guide of emotion for hi? • 1
actions, be expected to rid himself of this in
fection?
• Letter Cut
Ed. Note—Dean Seth Russell, chairman of
the Senate Committee on Scholarships and
Awards, informs us that the above questiOns
had "nothing whatever" to do with the award
ing of scholarships. He said the question was
put purely as a matter of human interest.
That the above charge is unfair, he said, can
be seen by , a look at the list of past awards
and the people on the Committee.
Questionable. Tactics
TO THE EDITOR: It seems that only a few
weeks ago Mr. Davis introduced himself, shaked
our hands . and asked for our votes. Now that
we put him in office (and he must adMit Nit
tany-Pollock area did put him there) he refuses
to recognize us.
Why didn't he include these "questionable
tactics" in his platform?
Faith and Courage
TO THE EDITOR: It is suggested that J. 11
Graves retire to some totalitarian state where
he would not be annoyed with controversial
issues. Dr. Lorcb has done nothing other than.
to • defend himself to the best of his ability.
Those of us who oppose discrimination are for
tunate to have men like Dr. Lorch who have
the faith and the courage not to. give up the
tight.
