UNDERGRADUATE COUNCIL.
Of late we have been hearing a great deal about this being a world for the young. People are saying that the positions that were formerly open to older men are being taken over by young men, and that those and only those who are young are getting the chances to go on to success.
Lest those students who are about to graduate get the idea that the whole world is waiting for them to accept a position that has always been held by an older man, it might be well to point out an obstacle in youth's way. This world, if it is a young man's institution, that because it was taken forebly from an older generation. Primarily this business of running things is by right of inheritance the property of the older generation. They were bequeathed it by their fathers, and to follow the logical channels the younger generation will inherit it from them—the positions that they now have will be held by them as it was by their fathers until death. The world has always been an old man's world.
This spirit of youth is a new thing. The movements that have swept the world in the past few years are a reversal of the old order. Until a few years ago a man's intelligence was more or less judged by his waist measure instead of his hat band. Until he reached the age when he was pleasantly fat, he certainly could not be wise.
The older generation will not willingly relinquish its hold and is not doing so. The graduate will do well to keep that in mind. It is the "crashing in" of youth that has lately begun to sway the tide to them. We have no grievance against the older generation; instead we admire them for their stand. There is no real reason why they should step aside for young men. If the young man wishes to fill their shoes, let him "crash in."
Hauptmann is often referred to as the "stolid German ex-machine gunner" which causes us to wonder just what that might have to do with his innocence or guilt.
AN UPBRAIDING
What is a coiffure without a braid?
Miss Kansas Co-ed, early 1935 model, might just as well ring up a "no call" if she isn't equipped with a halo of interwoven tresses, extending across the crown from ear to ear.
Those conservative, home-loving souls who nursed a full length head of hair through the long reign o the abbreviated bob welcome with a cry of victory the return o the braid, saying to themselves "a last virtue is rewarded." When will the frivolous short-haired gadabouts find themselves when the men of the Hill demand a nea little twist of hair across the head as a requisite for popularity?
But alas! How cruel is fate! It seems that modern inventors
nothing but expeditile injustice; for when the unequipped co-ed found herself sore in need of a few longer tresses, the toupee manufacturers immediately put on the market an artificial jigger which the girls could tack on to their skimpy bob. These gadgets, so the gals say, come in all sizes and all shades just as silk hose do.
Alack! is there no reward for the virtuous?
With so very many Democrats up and coming now, is it fair to ask. Where were they in '28?
THE GRAPHIC BROADCAST
One of the big broadcasting companies has announced that during 1935 it is going to broadcast news from the original setting. Large fires, floods, earthquakes, and all sorts of major catastrophes will find technicians dashing to the scene with microphones and other paraphernalia peculiar to the radio industry to dish out first hand information via the air waves. News in the making, so to speak.
Last spring we listened to the broadcast of the Chicago stockyards fire. We were fishing around for our favorite radio program when we heard the tense voice of the announcer giving a sort of flame-by-flame description of the great spectacle. We heard the announcer wear out words trying to make us see the fire as he saw it. He sent out and got the chief of police, the fire chief, and the mayor, who reassured us that everything was well in hand. After it was all over we had the feeling that those three gentlemen, along with the announcer, had lots of fun watching the fire, and we wished we could have been there to see it too.
The possibilities of broadcasting news in the making strikes us as being unlimited, but somehow we feel that they will be forced to forego broadcasting many major events. Take our favorite story of the year, the birth of the Dionne quintuplets. We would have liked very much to listen to the exclamations of surprise that must have came from the lips of Doctor Dafeu when he finally got around to counting them up. Also we could have thrilled to the first cries and the sound thumps of the Doctor's hand on their small backs. But we don't see how even the most enterprising broadcaster is going to be aware of such events.
This experiment is not wholly unprecedented. Fights and football games have been broadcast for many years, and we have enjoyed them, especially when the contest was a dull one. The announcer can pep it up to make it sound brutal and furious even when the participants are maybe putting on a kissing contest. When we pay our money to see a fight or a football game we know we may get taken in, but when we sit in comfort by our radio and listen to some announcer doing his best to give us all the details in his verbose vernacular we know we shall have a show whether the ringsiders and sideliners do or not.
But the broadcasters had better arrange for all their important news events to happen at convenient times during the day. We are not going to get up at three o'clock in the morning to see if Rome is burning or President Smith is being hanged in effigy. Also our boss would resent it if we quit working to go home and turn on the radio just to make sure we were not missing any important world event.
It is a good idea, though, and we are going to keep one ear on the loud speaker while we are near the radio so that we can be in at the kill when Puris and his hounds of the law run down a public enemy number one. Not that we think it will ever happen, but we are going to be ready just in case it does.
But what we are most interested in, and puzzled about, is whether we are not someday going to turn the dial and be greeted with this announcement:
"This latest Chicago fire is coming to you through the courtesy of the Burnem Fire Insurance Company. Be sure to insure with Burnem."

Boys and Young Ladies of 50 Years Ago
Yet, for some poor reason, we cannot mutter a and "Amer" to his platitude. Somehow we would rather look to the work that even the dislusioned Mr. Darwin must admit is going on in some form of world, including our United States.
Clarence Darrow, famed criminal lawyer, yesterday passed his judgment on the world and concluded with a typical gloomy remark:
"Never say die" is a swell patriotic slogan. It might aptly be used in the next war. That is, by the survivors.
From the Daily Illini
From The University Courier of Jan. 9,1885
Why So Gloomy?
The conditions of today will happen again and again . . . The great mass was born poor and desitue and will go through the world poor and desitue. Mr. Darrow is a man of the world. He knows what he describes.
Specifically we would refer to the huge completed and proposed projects for the clearing of slums in the large cities of the world. The Scandinavian countries are leaders in this work and have done inspiring work towards the destruction of the distinction Mr. Durrow feels so sure can not be eradicated.
We cannot help but feel that the work of the administration in fighting this evil is an indication that perhaps the great lawyer may have erred.
Perhaps it is all in the point of view.
wonderful sights. Prof. Snow's mankin
sorely troubled them. One modestly in-
gestion.
Yesterday the corridors presented a unusually lively appearance, owing to the efforts of two young ladies' fraternities to secure a new student. The boys had been out for a few days in money. Up to the present writing no conclusions have been arrived at.
Curdy was making down Massachusetts street when his girl's cousin paranyzed him with the remark, "You can't come around to our house any more." Al wilted, but managed to gasp: "Why? "O, you can around seven days in the week now, and you can't come any more." Al set 'em up.
When a man sets about painting the town red he rarely uses water colors.
If any member of the legislature, or anyone else should doubt the necessity of a natural history building, let him make a visit to the University, take a walk through the rooms in Prof. Snow's department, crowded so full with valuable specimens they can hardly be shown; let him look at the cases of rare insects, the boxes of geological specimens, packed away beneath tables and desks; and then let him go down into the basement and see two rooms packed with the latest additions, which are practically useless in their present position to preserve the natural world that is not satisfied of the imperative need and insinestible value to the State of the building in human nature.

North College is fifty feet square, three stories high, contains eleven lecture rooms, and stands near the center of a lot of ten acres within the city limits. The Main building (Fraser) is 246 feet in extreme length, 98 feet wide in the center. . There are 54 rooms in this building, all designed for the work of instruction. In the north dome may be found a compound of apparatus for meteorological weather observations. Natural History rooms of the south wing are the cabinets of Geology and Mineralogy, and more than 100,000 specimens of beasts, birds, insects and plants. . . .
