AN IDEAL PLACE?
As the old saying goes, "There is a time and a place for everything." Football games are played on Saturday afternoons on a gridiron. Dances are held in ballrooms in the evenings. And students, at least some of them, find the library a place to study.
The library was built and given to the University as a place for students to come, read books and attempt to absorb some knowledge, but since its construction a different attitude has been taken by many. They come to the building, check out a book, go to a table where they can see the most people and sit, look and talk to their friends about everything under the sun except what they are really there for. If ten minutes is spent reading the book during the evening, it is considered a success.
Of course if these few want to follow this procedure, that is their privilege. It does make it hard though on the people who really come to study. With the continual buzz going on about them, they must try to concentrate on ancient history, economics, education or what have you. The subject itself is usually difficult enough to follow, under ideal circumstances, but with all of this idle chatter floating around, the job is just twice as hard.
If some sort of scheme could be worked out whereby that student who comes to study for about ten minutes could be persuaded to do so the first part of the evening, then excuse himself and let those who have to do so study longer, he certainly would be much better appreciated, and the library would certainly be serving to a better advantage, the purpose for which it was constructed.
THE KING IS DEAD
Southern California has been pulled from its position atop the country's football heap by Leland Stanford, and is now just another football team. For 26 games the Trojans were undefeated, but, as many other teams have found out, victories do not go on forever.
Notre Dame is another university which this year has tasted the bitterness of having a mediocre team. After the nationally famous elevers which have spread the glory of the Irish, it must be doubly disappointing to back a losing eleven.
Bookies will never take over the field of football betting, because the 100 to 1 shot too often wins. If there is one thing certain about a gridiron game, it is that no one—not even the dope-analysing sport writers—can guess how a contest will end.
THE NEXT STEP IN EDUCATION
Colleges, along with most other American institutions, have become victims of the age of specialization. A thirst for research has led American education into a narrowing not only of its fields of study but of its vision of purpose as well.
Picture the average student after four years in an institution of higher learning. He has studied history, and later politics. But he has studied each subject as a separate unit, and nowhere along the line has any effort been made to point out to him the vital relationship of one to the other. What conception he may have of the influence of political developments on the history of the world, and of history upon politics must necessarily have come to him hazily, to say the least.
Or perhaps he has been interested in psychology and literature. Again, the educational system under which he has been working has failed to give him any insight into the more subtle relationships between the two fields of study.
This tendency toward specialization, with little regard for the broader aspects of education, cannot continue if Universities and colleges are to progress. The next step is clearly outlined. In some manner, the many and varied specialized studies must be brought together into a balanced and unified whole.
During a discussion of stocks Professor Taggart asked a student's opinion on the question of cemetery stocks. "I think it's a dead issue," he replied.
"How to Run an Election" is the suggested title of the pamphlet which Adolph Hitler should write for the benefit of his contemporaries in world leadership.
A MODEL ELECTION
It is not often that more than 90 per cent of the qualified voters of a country even vote in an election, let alone cast their ballots the same way; although skeptical Americans, used to crooked elections, probably doubt the authenticity of the German returns, they must recognize Hitler's ability as an organizer and advertiser.
The results of the recent election can hardly be taken as an accurate picture of national feeling in Germany, but they should be viewed as an indication of Hitler's ability to organize the people into a united group on questions of international policy.
Germany is, from all indications, a united nation, and she must be recognized as an important factor in world affairs. It rests with the other countries to decide whether Germany's subsequent actions are to be peaceful or warlike.
A Life's Darkest Moment, which would have brought joy to the heart of H. T. Webster, took place at the Night-shirt parade several weeks ago.
PLAIN TALES from the HILL
After the long, multi-colored snake had wrigled its way down Massachusetts street into South park and had split into hundreds of segments, a devoted mother and her life-partner swooped into the crowd to look for their son, a freshman. They had driven up for the game.
On releasing the boy, Mother cried. "But Charles. I thought that you would at least wear some clothing under those pajamas." Before he could utter any protests, she exclaimed, "You must be careful. Let me put my coat around your shoulder. Despite his embarrassed objections, she pulled him under half of her coat.
Spying the young man, clad in his pajamas, she gave vent to loud cries of devotion and engulfed the lad in her bosom. The father patted him on the back.
Father and mother were satisfied that pneumonia had been avoided, and the son was肿 in the depths of dejection mutilation. His evening was ruined.
The mother continued to hover over him like a hen protecting her chick, but the father finished the darkest morsel of his cost and put it on the struggling lad.
The boy was aware of the amusement that the family circle was afforded those around him, and he wriggled away from her. "Ah now ma, I'm all right," he said, very heavily. Here he was in college, and his mother still treated him like a child.
A few days ago in a class in feature writing, the class was discussing a house built of glass bottles. When asked if he had ever heard of this certain house, a closet was drawned, "No, but I know where there's a clothes closet lined with bottles."

"Can you tell us how to get to the Lawrence cider mill?" questioned six Studebaker joyriders of an old colored man who was tranquilly spending his Sabbath afternoon on an old chair, leaning back against a roadside shack.
In Microbiology class they were discussed vaccination. They plunged deep into the process of preparation, giving a cow the disease and then preparing the vaccine from the scales on her body. The vaccine was long and fully the value of vaccination was presented to the human race from dying like flies from a dread disease.
"Well, I don' jes' exactly know how to tell you to git there," the old fellow said, rising slowly up of his chair. Pointing down the road, he continued, "You jes' follow this here road straight over the river an' cross the railroad tracks an' then go five blocks on south an' turn over to Pennsylvania street an' then take that fust street where the carline is. Then you follow that street as far east as you can' an' then turn north a block an' there's the edler mill on the right hand side of the road. You jes' can't miss it."
And those six intelligent young college students actually found the cider mule.
But one young student in the back of the room looked worried during the whole discussion of the benefits of vaccination to society. Finally, he burst out in a weak voice, "but what became of the cow?"
After some members of the English History class had complained that they could not remember when certain events in history took place, Professor Malin assured them that no one should have any trouble getting dates.
Up shot a hand. "I always have people getting one" the owner exclaims.
Presidents and faculty representatives of the Big Ten football conference have suddenly bared their teeth with a fierce snarl have declared that unless students and alumni ease up in their annual campaign of "firing" coaches, Big Ten foosball may be drastically de-emphasized.

O.K. COACH
--who subscribed on the payment plan---
They are disgusted with the "get a new coach" movement that is started every time a team loses a football game

and will take concerted action to dampen the enthusiasm for the sport unless there is a let-up.
And the general public is getting fed up on it too.
There are always a few of the "rah
*bays*" boys and old grades with loud voices
that get burnt up every time the alma
mater loses a game and begin to yelp
for the coaches' hide. But the general
football whether their team algives wings.
Bill Spalding knows this attitude. He says: "When the team wins you're a great guy and a master mind; but when it gets batten then you're a bum and all washed up." Spalding had had the howls on his trail for years past but he has kept right on plugging and building a great team for the future.
The "get a new coach" movement is well under way on the Pacific coast this season already. They said Jones was slipping after that Oregon game! It is reported that this is Bill Ingram's last year; and Stanford supporters are not likely undified with Tiny Thornhill. So the team goes with every team in the conference.
After all, football is only a sport (no matter how highly emphasized it has been) and not a college education. One team always has to win and the other loss, with less few and far between. From the president of the University down to the greener freshman, every loyal member of the student body wants his team to win. But if it doesn't win, what of it. That's no logical reason for going after the sculp of the coach—Daily Krum.
But let the coaches alone.
