"BRAIN-TRUSTER" PROFS During the past summer there have been various cries raised both against the brain-truster type of professor that it is said may be dominating our colleges and against alleged practices of teaching theoretical policies of socialism, communism or fascism rather than teaching staid conservatism, capitalism, and old party lines. Whether such a criticism of college activities is unjustifiable or not and whether if true it be commendable or objectionable, it is as yet a mute question. But at least the quirps have been thrust at the colleges, the flow of words having risen from the situation that has developed with the elevation o professors to advisers in the democratic form of government. Incoming freshmen may wonder just what kind of old foggy, bespectacled and unkempt, or just what kind of radical, bearded, hair-brained and with stilleto tightly gripped, he may expect to find behind college desks. But these freshmen may be disappointed. Some of the professors are bound to be a little hazy, it is true. Einstein, they say, may be a good mathematician and scientist, but not exactly an expert accountant. Other professors may advance ideas that are hard for the student to swallow. Old King Tut was probably taught by the seers that the world was flat. And that was good enough for him. And seers taught the same until a Columbus or someone else scratched his head. Our professors can't always be believed, but neither can our politician's contemporary critics, nor even the press. Add in the similes of 1934: As gooely as a cross eyes bitter try to, fathom Carl Hubbell's screw ball. WHITHER BOUND, COLLEGE STUDENT? The mere act of earning a sheepskin is not so hard; it takes only time (four years) and money (a couple of thousands, or so) and then the master technician of the future generation finds the gates of a not-too-receptive world opening for him. The job that may await the student, when at last he graduates, may be just as humble as the one that might open up the first fall; or perhaps there will be no job at all. So, then, why college? Where are we bound? Education is practical or immanent as the student uses it Education is practical or im-practical as the student uses it. There is a job to get, certainly, but there are other tasks that add the spice to an otherwise dull dish; but this is not nil. If life were mere earning and spending, there would be no excuse for college. As the picture fades farther and farther into the past, NRA, Munchukuo, the Polish corridor, dictation, inflations, tariff, open doors, war will be followed by now, more complex problems which must be tackled by men who must take up the unfinished tasks of leaders and followers of today. And as people of the country rise in gyrphems or tune in a television station piece by piece that panorama of the fullness and breadth of the world will keep unfolding for the student who begins in college to interpret and learn rather then to learn alone. New experiments will come; old customs will linger by the wayside. The college student simply closes his textbooks at the close of his short journey on an unfinished story of life with its conflict, suffering, and struggle for happiness. The pages that we learn about today will still be there, but new pages in life's experience will be added day by day. Balzac and Lelongfellow and Bach and Micheal angelo—these will still be on life's pages long after the texts are closed; Rooseveit and Hitler and Doumerguet, too, will have filled their niche. But the world moves on. Perhaps to the student, looking for courses for another—or perhaps the first—year of study, will take only fragments of the knowledge of the world. But each fragment adds to a comprehension of the whole. Where lives the man who hasn't felt the urge to jerk the cord of the emergency brake on a fast moving train? If Upton Sinclair keeps on, he may be a man without a party; but no one dare suggest that he is a man without a country. SELLING LIFE OR DEATH Is there more profit to be gained in selling death than in giving of an education? The present senate investigation of the munitions manufacturers in Washington can not help but recall to mind a comparison made by Senator Borah not so long ago that while armament manufacturers were making their 20 to 30 per cent profit, schools and colleges were closing for the want of money. Many of us are in school today and we are not sure why. Others of us, cold-blooded and unconsiderate statisticians will tell us will be led away to some future war. Even there, we may vaguely wonder why. Some are denied an education because of the want of funds; some are denied entrance to war because of a poor physical body. These men, too, wonder why. There was a day when life was sold on the auction block; but that act has been banished as unhumanitarian. The muniitions investigation makes us pause to think, if we think at all, that perhaps life and death are sold even yet, more subtly, perhaps, but are the cards stacked? Are the stakes larger? Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: After all is said and all the CSEP appointments made, it begins to look as though some of the jobs have been awarded to some members of the student body. The student body dues. Some of the grantees of these positions are members of the so-called "best" fraternities on the hill. It appears as though they have applied for jobs that they might stay in their dormitories, or just go to school for the purpose of staying in school. The primary purpose of the CSEP is to give aid to needy students and families. The CSEP cannot under any consideration stay unless they have employment. After that if the question arises as to elimination, then grades should be considered. The greatest injustice of the entire plan is the fact that if your grades are not as high as the other fellows, you are not given any consideration. Some of the students who have been 100% self-supporting did not have the time to study hard, work and their grades had suffered somewhat as have some more fortunate. The CSEP student living in a fraternity house, driving a large limousine is a parallel to a man in a bread line, who reported that he had been robbed Make merry, pieces, while you may For soon there comes another day, And you'll find out when you taks your fall For Justice. So after all, "To him that hath shall be given", The remainder drop out of school. That the castle you've been promised is only a stall. Oklahoma Daily.

Some universities have found that the present regime and period has opened more opportunities to their graduates in higher education institutions in spite of the depression. Authorities have pointed to Great Britain's Civil Service which guarantees brilliant professional servants a chance for promotion and a substantial living salary. Princeton University, in an article in "Time" magazine indicates that the United States Civil Service has a similar rank and file of clerks and technicians but there is no incentive to attract men at the top in our civil service. However, since the New Deal has set university authorities to aid in the supervision of government President Dodds sees a new field of employment for university graduates. In 1900, she founded the university School of International Affairs and this year the enrollment reached the limit of 100. What sort of men are chosen for this school? They are individuals who are campus leaders and high in scholarship. In the summer these men spend their vacations abroad in native homes and attend government conferences. During the regular school session they hold five conferences of their own to which they respond informally and informally. The result of the establishment of this school is that Princeton leads in the number of men accepted for the United States Foreign Service. Columbia university, a year ago, established courses in the New Deal and prepared students for positions in the various commissions. These graduates naturally found jobs. Perhaps they will get hired as teachers or administration is installed but they have received some valuable experience and kept the proverbial wolf from coming. Since a large majority of the people are working for the government why not include the university graduates who have studied political science? The question of war no longer is an academic question; it is one which any morning paper may put squarely before us. The narrow margin by which the Austrian crisis missed precipating an European war, the daily race for advantage in the Far East, the mad expenditure of resources in a nationalization, these are stark facts which bear directly on the personal life and plan of every American student. We do not believe that it is too much to ask, in such a situation, that students be given the right to think and decide for themselves what their goals are. And we are encouraged to see in many quarters that this is precisely what a growing number of students are doing in refusing to participate in the R.O.T.C. We have no quarrel with any student who on conscientious grounds desires to join the R.O.T.C.; they are the highest values in life for an academic institution to require military service of one who conscientiously is convinced that such service is wrong. The only solution is to make the R.O.T.C. optional and not compulsory. That on a non-compulsory basis it tends, as DoFAw, to make the contrary; rather, it is an indication that when students have a right to choose they peace.

Short Shots A Garden City Democrat criticizes the state university because he says it is run by the worst bunch of moss-lacked reactionaries in the country.
