Musicians do not claim to be psychologists, but any one of them can tell you that the mere display of some sort of applause will help a great deal to make playing easier, and consequently make their music better. Anyone knows that a loud cheer at a football game will put new spirit into the players. The same principle applies to dance orchestras. Even though the music is of the best quality, if the dancers fail to show any appreciation of it the players constantly fear that their efforts are falling short of the mark and that the crowd is not pleased. There seems to be no explanation for this situation, unless the students simply do not care or else do not know how much they could help to make their own parties more successful and the music for their dancing better. A puzzled co-ed wonders just what the men who don't smoke do at smokers. PICTURES BY WIRE A single picture often gets an idea across to a reader better than pages of print. For vividness and for making the most of the limited time the general public allots to newspaper reading, illustrations are invaluable. When the eye falls on a picture, even though by chance, some thought is carried to the mind. But a hurried glance at a printed page leaves no impression at all. Pictures are one of the strongest forces making for universal education. Everyone knows something of the great strides the newspapers have made in giving the public timely and interesting photographs. The latest and most striking phase of this service has been the transmission of pictures by wire. But so far this process has been difficult and the results far from satisfactory. Now comes the announcement by the Associated Press of a regular telephotographic service to begin in the autumn. Illustrations of news will soon reach us with the speed of the news itself, and with all the quality of mailed photographs. This is truly an enormous step forward by the newspaper, in its endless striving to leave on the public doorstep a better record of every passing day. NOT YET GROWN UP Several American colleges in recent years have attempted to put certain features of European education into their system. One method that has been especially tried is that of voluntary attendance at classes. The Alfred Holbrook college in Ohio has recently withdrawn this rule, because so many students habitually cut their classes. The president found that a great many of them took advantage of the ack of supervision, and spent much of their time in sleeping and oafing. By the time a young person is old enough to go to college, he might be expected to realize the importance of attending classes. But it doesn't seem to follow. Many students complain that they are supervised too closely; now that they are college students that can take care of themselves. The cutting of classes unnecessarily in order to go riding, or to get a coke, or just because the student doesn't feel like listening to a lecture, is certainly ample proof that he really does not know what is best for his own welfare. Until he does realize this, the compulsory system must prevail. THOUGHTLESS SYMPATHY Few patients have more numerous and faithful visitors than those who are ill in Watkins hospital. It is a sign of unusual considerateness that students, in the midst of busy campus life, always find time to spend a few minutes with the fellow who is "laid up." But this sympathy on the part of friends is sometimes almost wholly counteracted by thoughtlessness. They forget that noise and laughter are often fatiguing to the patient, and the nurse on duty is faced with the unpleasant task of reminding them. Quiet cheerfulness, rather than hilarity, belongs in the hospital room. Smoking by visitors is prohibited in the rooms; a rule which is sometimes disregarded. This oversight might prove harmful to the person who is ill. The University is proud of its student hospital and the care which it provides its patients. Hospital authorities are not cranky, but careful, when they ask the observance of regulations. The consideration of visitors will make their task much easier. DISSATISFACTION—A SOURCE OF PROGRESS As a potential leader of your community have you ever stopped to consider the moral obligation to render service in exchange for the priceless benefits and blessings society has bestowed? Temperamentally, there are two kinds of people aside from reactionaries: One says that progress can be made, but the other says we shall do well if we are able to maintain present achievements without incurring the hazards involved in making changes. Only through dissatisfaction can improvements be made. Discontent has always been the basis of human endeavor. It has spurred men to dream, to plan and achieve. It has moved men and strengthened their purpose and determination to succeed regardless of cost or consequence. It seems selfish for a student to idealize his own future as one of a happy home and an exalted and influential position, without wanting to make life better for the masses of people. Our objective should not be enjoyment of material benefits and blessings alone, but the intangible values which bring a richer life for a finer citizenship. The burden is upon this generation to bring an abundant life of freedom, of self-expression, of educational advantages, and opportunity for honest toil with leisure and material blessings, instead of a life of oppression, of limitation, of ignorance, or of drudgery. People actuated by motives of intelligent and constructive discontent can better conditions. UNDERCURRENT With the coming of the spring social season and the rush parties which always find the fraternities with a scarcity of beds, we are reminded of the time when we came home late on such a week-end to find someone in our bed. We (the editorial 'we', if you please) told me the figure "you're really rich. You didn't heudg." We spoke in stronger terms, and still he didn't wiggle. Then, our patience exhausted, we broke out in a lengthy string of not nice profanity at the culprit, dealt him a lusty biff in the back, and jumped in the next bed.

When we woke in the morning, we glanced out of one eye to see who had robbed us of our haven, and there, on his back with his mouth open in a healthy skin, lay one of the brothers' father. Remembering the many things he was called him the night before, we leaped out of bed and dressed, not coming back to the house until evening. We still wonder if he heard us. Our Contemporaries the sorority woman who pinned fraternity men so viciously in the last Sour Owl had the tables turned on her when an indignant Greek answered her attack with a few well-choed words of the brotherhood of the Hellenes. Along with the letter he sent a dozen blood-red roses to prove that the fraternity man does send flowers other than corsages. The young lady has been trotting about with her forehead wrinkled in perplexity, but up to the present writing she hasn't discovered who the anonymous champion of the fraternity man is. She says that the flowers were lovely. California Daily Bruin EDUCATION FOR PEACE With billions being spent annually upon armies, warships, airplanes and coast defense programs, the leaders of the country might well consider turning part of this huge expenditure toward educating the people of the nation as to the real causes of war. As a supplement to the recent "assembly to talk about war" the fifth of a series of student open forums will be held today with the subject of disarmament as its central theme. Since disarmament is still an attempt to keep pace with the world, the presentation of this subject for student discussion may be considered as another phase of the University's peace program. T.C. and the nation's defense program. Armaments are merely the surface effects of a war program and not the real causes of war. The roots of war are the munitions makers, upon whose huge profits the promulgating of war depends, are the real instigators of war scares and war fears. With the world filled with danger spots, that may be the scene of future clashes, the subject of disarmament should be one of the most important duties, especially as it affects the R.O. PREJUDICES Oklahoma Daily The fact that real and just thinking is often impeded by prejudices is clearly shown by a survey made in New York recently among a representative group of Americans. From 1,000 Americans of average intelligence, it was discovered that 98 per cent were prejudiced against the Turks, 50 per cent against the Mexicans, and 30 per cent against immigrants. One's prejudices are basically the result of placing too much stress on primary values and contacts rather than on ultimate ones. It seems that these erratic views arise from the American's desire to look to himself rather than outward. People are essentially interested in the group with whom they are in immediate contact—the family, fraternal organizations, and their own na- Depression Is Over These are busy times.

And because of this attitude they cannot see other people in the right perspective. The goal of education is to develop real thinking. There is no reason why these prejudices should exist in the minds of intelligent men and women.
