IT IS UP TO US
The Pulitzer prize editorial was written by E. P. Chase and published in the Atlantic News-Telegraph. Its title, "Where Is Our Money?" is a subject that is holding everyone's attention. In this editorial the question is ably answered. Mr. Chase says the individual has played an important part in the disposal of our money. "We spent it." If spending so lavishly has brought about this condition, how can we hope to force a return of prosperity by spending large sums of borrowed money? Our government is working out a lot of schemes because we as a people demand action, but these schemes cannot cure us of our past follies.
The sanest way to restore a degree of prosperity is by thrift, common sense, and a budget for each individual. It is up to us to profit by our expensive past experiences and progress only as our means will allow.
Andrew Mellon case of evading his income tax may have been dropped, but it cannot erase the monopolistic, ruthless and predatory character of the system by which he acquired his millions.
HIS SLATE IS STILL FAR FROM CLEAN
The career of this man is not only scarred by monopolies from which he exacted enormous tolls, but by the inhuman results of his tactics. As a monument he has the ownership and profiteering of the Mellon slums, the smoky, poisoned Pennsylvania towns and the labor wars and bloody strikes, with unions driven out and whole areas controlled by police and private gunmen. The brutalities he has committed have been exposed and denounced, one time by Mayor La Guardia, and again by the Senate committees.
His past is also stained by the dominance of the press and of corrupt politics in machines through political bosses. As secretary of the treasury, Mr. Mellon was privileged to reduce the annual taxes of the wealthy by $700,000,000 and those of his own family by $2,215,000.
No wonder that, even though his case has been dropped, we say his slate is still far from clean. And it will be a long time before the worst marks are completely erased.
WHY CENSORSHIP OF LIBRARY BOOKS
The censorship of books is one of the most important and difficult problems confronting every public librarian. It is impossible to satisfy everyone.
There are many types of subjects that are questionable. Sex literature can be instructive for adolescents, married people and students of psychology, or it can be plainly undesirable to attract curious minds. George Bernard Shaw's "The Black Girl in Her Search for God" contains material with which many people fail to agree and the illustrations shock others.
"All Quiet on the Western Front" is a book written to describe the horrors of war, and, is
true to life, but the language used is objectionable and could perhaps have been avoided without lessening the value of the book.
Should books of propaganda and of potentially anti-social nature be censored, and if so who should determine their status? Many of these books are kept in stock but are stored where the public has not access to them except on demand. Many times it is a question, not of personal liberty to be able to read whatever one chooses, but of whether an author may throw all the dirt he pleases.
Often the fact that a book is banned by an authority gives greater publicity to it and creates a larger demand.
It must be remembered that some of our most celebrated writers have introduced indelicate themes into their works. Surely the works of such well-known authors as Shakespeare, Richardson, Smollett, Hardy, Boccacio and many French authors should not be banned because their writings may have a demoralizing effect upon weaker members of the community.
WE LEARN BY SEEING
Do you remember something you read in your geography or arithmetic book when you were in the fourth grade? The answer, in most cases, would probably be no. But do you remember those sand pile groups depicting the life of all kinds of people from the Indians to the Hollanders? Doubtless, you will say yes.
It is true that we learn by seeing. All through our early years of education we remembered our geography by seeing pictures of the peoples and places we were studying. We learned arithmetic by constructing diagrams to represent the problems we were attempting to solve. We learned writing by seeing examples of correct form before us.
Now that we are in college the theory still persists. We really learn more by actually seeing than by reading dry facts in a text book. There are numerous examples in favor of this viewpoint here in the University. For instance, the greater part of the University course in psychology is made clearer by the use of pictures, diagrams, and graphs. Even in medical physiology motion pictures, are used to acquaint the students with the workings of the human body. English courses have also made use of visual means to give a richer background.
True, the University is already doing good work in this field; this is evidenced by the accomplishments of the Bureau of Visual Education. There is, however, still much to be desired. Further use of the motion picture and other means of visual education would certainly aid the students in grasping some of the phases of education which are not easily understood by mere reading.

MIDWESTERN ELEGY By Thomas E. Moore
The shadows take their even way.
High and lush the blue grass grows;
It half conceals the straggling rows
Of headstones, yellowed now or gray.
Here stands one stoutly in its place,
Here lies one flat upon its face,
Here, with a corner sunk awry,
One lifts a shoulder to the sky.
Remote, forgotten, is the year
When sed by shade was broken here.
The map buds drop in the spring;
From elms in August withering
A few bright yellow leaves may fall.
The meadow lark's sweet rippling call
Comes faintly from across the fields.
It is no longer visited.
be in bloody videos.
For all of those who mourned are dead
They hither came, long years ago,
On leisure Sunday afternoons;
They brought bouquets of native flowers
From meadow land or valley—
Pink-petaled sweet wild roses,
Bluebells with dusty, dangling fronds,
And dark-eyed little daisies.
They hither came, long years ago,
To walk about with footstep slow;
To read with voice restrained, sedate,
The record of the headstones, told
So briefly—

Now these, perhaps, grew very old, and came to rest.
Lee Tracy, whose little escape in Mexico several months ago was invaluable advertising, plays the lead role. His slangy chatter amuses and at the same time fits into an American audiences' conception of the typical newspaper man. His liking for blondes, redheads and anything else that has the general shape of a woman is also supposed to be a common failing of journalists. He plays his part well and not too seriously.
W. A.A. will hold its spring banquet at 6 o'clock on Wednesday, May 16, at the Manor. Members who intend to go should sign the poster in the women's gymnasium not later than Tuesday evening.

Our Contemporaries
A star correspondent rushes off to Canada one day to get a story about a drifting dirigible there, and the next he is off to Europe to solve the mystery of some attacks on an archduke. He unravels the plot against an American educated princess and saves her life. The most interesting part of the story is his dashes here and there by plane, train and boat to "get the news," and incidentally to scoop a rival correspondent.
Great men probably reach their pinacles of fame through various means, their ability, circumstances, etc., but certainly, a big part of their success must be due to the fact that they utilize their雄厚实力 more than their competitors. Fortunes await those who are willing to concentrate their energies.
If newspaper work were actually as exciting as motion pictures, particularly Pm Telling You (Varsity), show it, the University would have to erect another building the size of Fraser to house all the journalism students. This photoplay uses all the thrills that ever occurred in the gathering of news and a few extra for good measure. By so doing it makes an absorbing piece of entertainment.
100% EFFICIENCY—WHERE?
MARY ELIZABETH EDIE, President.
More and more, as one gains insight through first hand observation of the business, academic, and social pursuits of the world, one is impressed by the surprising degree of indifference found everywhere. Psychologists are aware of the fact, and rate average efficiency somewhere between fifty and seventy-yele.
Superior grades are won, not always by the student with the highest IQ, but often, by the one who has learned how to study and is willing to spend the time doing it. The college classroom and campus, however, are not the only places where inefficiency is starkly evident.
Current Screen
Cee College Cosmos, Cedar Rapid, Iowa
picture of the cooky hard-boiled fellow with a line that will outwit any man or woman who might happen along. Luckily the picture has a turn for the better, for the plot changes to an interesting story of an honest telephone lineman and a switchboard operator who get mixed up with a gang of swindlers.
Pat O'Brien, as Terry, is the tough guy who "practically runs the telephone company", but who, in spite of his freshness, becomes very likeable by the end of the picture. Joan Blondell, as Marie, is the "hello girl" who catches his eye and keeps it, even though she is dumb enough to be duped by a swindler with a handsome face and a box of candy.
The two meet when Terry is sent out on a trouble call and the trouble happens to be at the hotel where Marie works. After plenty of argument on both sides and some clever tricks on the part of Terry, he gets a date with her. The plot becomes quite desperate when Marie, having lost her first job by unsuspectingly aiding a gang crooks, again is accused of being an accomplice of the swindlers after just getting another job. Jerry saves his girl, however, by tapping a telephone wire and using his fists.
Allen Jenkins, O'Brien's assistant lineman, and Eugene Palltei, their boss, are responsible for many of the laughs. In other words, however, is one of the funniest scenes.

You'll be surprised to see how many shirts we can show you in your neck size and as you watch box after box being opened, you may think we're mildly crazy for showing so many patterns when far fewer would do. What's a shirt? . . . you may ask . . . and the answer is that this spring it's a work of art in which smart young designers have stolen the show away from the old masters.
