A POOR OUTLOOK FOR THE COLLEGIAN?
The outlook for the collegium is poorer than that for the non-collegium according to William McAndrew, former superintendent of Chicago schools. Only a small number of colleges in the country can benefit any person, and these are already crowded to the limits, he says.
This statement was made in answer to a question placed before the readers of the "Journal of Education," a Boston publication. The query, previously made by the London "Evening Standard," concerned the advisability of sending to college the son or the daughter of a widow of limited means. Both were of average intellectual ability or better, but the mother could afford to send only one.
At the present time the outlook for a college trained person may be as dismal as that for the untrained, however, more prosperous times will undoubtedly increase the demand for college graduates. Expanding commerce, industry, social and political life demand the services of the well-trained over the poorly-trained. Whether or not a definite call comes for college men and women, such persons will be able to anticipate the needs of society and, with their better intellectual background, take precedence over the untrained.
The majority of answers to the Journal's question favored giving each child two years of college work, then letting him work his way to graduation if he desired.

JUST FOOLISHNESS
Fortune telling may be a lot of bosh but even the most practically minded students have a tendency to fall for it.
One freshman upon learning that her life line was rather short, bid her roommate a tearful farewell in case she didn't get back from study hall. Another learning that she had been worrying a great deal, spent the entire night worrying about what her worry might be. Two roommates are now happy to know that they were right when each said the other was stubborn. One other student had to be definitely reassured that the fortune teller would read only her future; she felt that her past should be a closed book.
Fortune telling may be a lot of foolishness, but it furnishes a good evening's entertainment.
THE STAR MOLDS A UTOPIAN INSTITUTION
A. B. Macdonald, veteran feature writer for the Kansas City Star, evidently erased in his story of last Sunday, in which he painted the University of Missouri as a Utopian institution, with model students, or at least one of the Missouri students thinks so.
Taking exception to Mr. McDonald's article, Miss Mary Folse, who earned the Phi Beta Kappa key in her undergraduate days
and who is now working toward a doctor of philosophy degree in Greek, in a letter to the Star, says "I have just been reading the article in the Kansas City Star on student morality at the University of Missouri, and I should like you to know that it is all balloon."
She continues, "In the four years of my undergraduate life here I have certainly been closely enough in contact with college morality to have a fairly good idea of the general attitude of the campus. That idea is very little in agreement with the notions expressed by the deam of women and several fraternity and sorority chapers."
Of course it is better to print whatever may truthfully be said about the pleasant sides of life at universities, nevertheless there is no license for distorting the facts to such an extent that the article is amusing. Either the University of Missouri has raised its morality plane to a point beyond the dreams of morality teachers or else Mr. Macdonald was very liberal in his article.
It hasn't been so many years ago that the famous "Pete" Jackson case was before the public or that the sisters of a certain sorority stood behind one of its members that had strayed from the "straight and narrow." Even as late as last year, the University of Missouri made the front page of the Kansas City Star, with the shooting of three students by a fellow student. But, of course, much can be accomplished in one year!
We're not criticizing the University of Missouri or its students. We respect the institution and the young men and women who attend it. But they are human the same as the young men and women at Kansas and to think that some of them wouldn't take a drink or go on a "necking party" is an absurdity. They do it at Kansas and they do it at Missouri regardless of the contrary answers given by the dean of women and the chaperons it the Tiger school.
But they are a pretty fain "bunch," after all.
THE SHORTEST WAY
The University of Maryland recently passed a ruling that a fine if three dollars would be charged or each class cut. It would be interesting to know just how this rule will affect the physical well-being of the student.
It is likely that professors will notice an appreciable improvement in general student health. Stomach disorders probably will not be so frequent, nor will women develop such "beautyist sick headaches." Eye, ear, and nose specialists probably will be consulted on Saturdays, while a wisdom tooth practically will become a "pain of the past."
There must be a deficiency somewhere in the thinking process of students who cut classes. It's just the longest way around. The work must be made up sooner or later, and it will take the average student longer to prepare back assignments. There lies the rewards for class attendance. The professors make the work much clearer by interpreting it and ranking it as to importance.

VALLEE-FORUM
A heated controversy between the staid magazine, Forum, and the great father of cromers, Rudy Vallec, over the way he treats gentlemen possesses a sense of humor is our idea of the rags "for-sale-in-a-diamond market even on the week. To go back to the beginning of the episode, we find that in one of the late 1980s, Rudy Vallec wrote of Forum's stuff written an article which he titled "MidSummer Radio Fare." The author in the course of the discussion had the audacity to refer to Rudy's biography of two years ago and he did not mention that no matter how musically gifted, has no sense of humor whatsoever. It was in regard to this matter that
It was in regard to this matter that Forum was the recipient and publisher of a scathing reply from the singer (?) in the last issue.
The stein-songer evidently took grievous offense at Forum's accusation, if we may judge by the temper of his counter-attack. He opens by asserting that he had never planned his successful campaign on the basis of humor; but in the final count concedes that he is imbued with a little of that dry sort of humor that is probably too subtle to be appreciated by Forum's author. In the middle progressive stages of his rebusthet he claims to be an appreciator of humor of the first kind, and this is consistent with Webster's conception of the gentle art buds that it is the ability to appreciate humor rather than to conceive it.

Kansas Steps Forword— Let Wisconsin Follow
An announcement from Kanaa adds a significant and reasonable argument to the one made by the Hemm committee. That committee, appointed by the faculty to study the problem, concluded that compulsory ignition from fire of health was not wasteful but of health was not harmful.
In addition to these arguments, the University of Kansas points out that its abolition was dictated by a by desire to reduce the budget 25 per cent.
That argument is certainly worth consideration. And the board of regents, if they veto for the second time the faculty's recommendation for abolition, are also by that very action showing their unwillingness to save money for the university except by cutting the pay of the already underpaid professors and instructors. That 'now' is the only alternative--Daily Cardinal.

The Atheticon Globe deals with art; "There is a statue of a naked man sitting on a stump or something. He has one of his fists in his mouth. His hair needles combing, and his toenails need trimming. And he is labeled 'The Thinker.' We can't accept the label. We insist that the man who ticks on a stump then goes outdoors and sits on a stump is not a thinker, but a moron."
On the other hand, if the Globe found itself out in the woods without any clothes on, it would do some thinking, too—Ottawa Herald.

When an advertiser puts his trade-mark on a product and his money behind it, he wraps his reputation into the package.
Look through the advertising columns and notice the number of established products you see listed there. As you read the name of each one, you form an instant mental picture. Its size, color, shape, flavor and quality are known factors, as staple as wheat. You know that whether you buy the article today or next week, it will be precisely what you want — the same uniformly good product that gave you satisfaction when last you used it.
That is one of the tremendous advantages that advertising has brought you as a consumer. You know before you buy that the maker, whose business success is tied up with his product, will see that quality is maintained. You know that if any change is made in an advertised article it will be to improve it — to give you even greater value for your money.
