THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1932 THERE'S HOPE What a pleasant relief to go to a banquet or speech and not be told that there is little hope if any of the present day college graduate's landing a job after graduation. This actually happened yesterday when George F. Pierrot, managing editor of the American Boy, spoke to several journalism assemblies. He did not paint a picture of all roses and easily landed jobs, but he did give some clear advice on what to do to get into his field. So far this year many of the talks of outside speakers to students have been aimed at one thing—painting a picture of the cold, cruel world as it now stands. Perhaps after an hour's dissertation on this subject the speaker would get around to some specific advice. Pierrot should be toasted and his praises sung. He has done a noble deed. Now when a man like Pierrot can give a talk that is constructive after he has been in that "cold, cruel word" for twelve years, it stands to reason that others could do likewise. WE WONDER Both agreement and amusement were registered within us when we read the editorial of the Harvard Crimson, advocating the barring from college of those students who have to depend on their own earnings to put themselves through school. We agree, in substance, with the publication when it says, "The myth that any able bodied man can support himself and at the same time realize the full advantages of a college education must be destroyed." Too many students are not deriving full benefit from their college careers because their time is taken up in outside work. Outside activity is reduced to a minimum. They are unable to attend worthwhile lectures and athletic events; membership in debate squads and glee clubs becomes impossible, and they are, of necessity, prohibited from guiding campus publications or starring on athletic teams. But at the same time we are amused and disappointed. We really had expected Harvard men to be less prejudiced, more clear-thinking. If the Crismon had a gone little further, it would have reassured "Here are the working students obviously they are not getting the most out of college. But at the same time here are students who are not working at all, who receive a substantial monthly allowance. What are they getting out of college? Are they getting any more out of it than are the working students? How do they spend their spare time? Do they study longer hours? Do they engage in more activities, attend more debates, more concerts, more lectures? Or do they spend it at campus eating houses, do they spend it drinking hard liquor and going on wild parties? We wonder. Perhaps the Crismon can tell us. That which we have said brings us to the propositions: Are any of us getting the most out of college? Aren't the majority of us falling far short of an ideal? Perhaps it is time to put education back on an educational basis and allow only those who are going to school for the joy and worth of learning to attend. We wonder. PROHIBITION Almost daily we hear of some leading statesman arguing for a revote on the Eighteenth Amendment and for the admission of light wines and beer. But is the right for a vote of the real sentiments of the American people? Since 1820 our country has been besieged by advertising and propaganda issued by breweries and manufacturers and isn't it about time we learned a few of the constructive points of the prohibition law which have been kept so carefully in the back ground? The return of beer might substitute the beer keg for the milk can, Renick W. Dunlap, assistant Secretary of Agriculture, has said, "Substituting beer for milk would mean taking 5,000,000 cows out of the country." The phenomenon increase in the consumption of milk beginning in 1920 was not purely accidental. The amount of milk consumed has increased 242 pounds a year for every man, woman, and child in the United States since the passage of the prohibition amendment. It takes three times as much grain to produce this increase alone as would be consumed in making the amount of beer used prior to prohibition. The people of the United States are diverting millions of dollars once spent for harmful beverages to the purchase of health-giving nutritious food. The voting public needs to do a great deal of critical thinking before voting on such an important law. FOUR-THIRTY CONCERT Whether it is decided to offer the enterprise tickets to students or discontinue it, we shall still have a concert every morning at four thirty in our neighborhood. It starts at an hour when the city is quiet, before the milkman gets about or early workers start down-town. As the first stair灯 of dawn announces new a day, be it cloudy or clear, a single robin begins his jibbitbub song. For five minutes he runs helter-shelter through his whole repertoire. It is a reville One by one the robes awake and join the chorus. Probably because she is so small and therefore needs more sleep than the others, or maybe because she is a lady, Jenny Wren does not join the chorus until it has been singing for twenty or thirty minutes. Her voice does not har monize with the voice of the robins. Therefore, she waits until they pause and then she sings brief, enthusiastic solo. And when this chorus has setted to a steady harmony that throbs throughout the still morning air, a screaming jaw disturts the scene with raucous chatter in THE COUNTRY TOWN the same fashion that our alarm clock thrusts the notes of its glittering bell into our rosy dreams. But he soon finds stuff competition in the rumble of milk trucks, motors, and the noise of a world awakening. As light slowly dispels darkness, the noise of commerce slowly conquers the song of the birds. The small town has scored another distinction. Temple University has found in a recent survey that students from the villages carry off the scholastic honors at colleges and universities, and that students who are working their way through usually rank higher in their school work than those whose expenses are being paid by their parents. Of course, this is not a startling fact. We have known all along that students from the smaller places have fewer distractions and less interest in the more superficial branches of college life. Students who are working their way through school have a desire to get an education which is often alien to the one who considers a college course a part of his birthright. But the fact remains that the country is becoming more appreciative of the small town. Young lawyers, doctors, and journalists are being advised to make their start in a country town. It is no longer necessary to blush when one admits that be is from Hamlet-ville or Podunk, for our rural districts are producing promising individuals and are offering opportunities unmatched in the more populous centers. CHANGING FRANCE France has recently made her third step to remove tuition fees from her educational system. The result of this last step is that no charge will be made in the third grade of the secondary schools. Primary schools have been free from tuition and attendance has been compulsory for fifty years. The other two steps were taken to reduce the cost of secondary school education in 1930 and 1931, removing tuition fees from the first and second grades of secondary schools. Since this time the attendance has increased remarkably. The 1982 extension of free public education is considered a distinctly radical move. Altho this is not an outstanding compromise between the two tectones of one France's hardest fought political issues, that of public versus private and secular versus religious education, it is rather the result of the existing political conditions. It is becoming more apparent in France that popular sentiment favors a complete system of free state schools. Our Contemporaries HOW ABOUT SLANG? College students are not batting out any new numbers when it comes to "red hot" slang. We are a generation behind the times in the matter of slang. Slang, as a matter of fact, has been accepted as a natural part of language even by scholars, because it is pungent and violent. The words prevail throughout the country. It has been stated that there was a period when college students used to set the pace, while now they seem content to imitate. Until they come across with something better than "OK" and "KO," they may as well say "yes." Expressions often heard on the campus—that they become obsolete with time—may be heard at almost any time other campus from the beginning. A companion to the other, or in a more conversation. These expressions are time-worn and unpleasant to the ears after they have been listened to for the hundredth time. With a group of brilliant and witty girls as we have on our campus, we have a wonderful celebration in "mouls chugging" circles. with this ultimate goal in mind fifteen hundred new expressions should innate in a body and go forth into the world. These expressions, intelligence, brilliance and grandeur.

For the past number of yeas we have let the two political parties who are in the hands of various fraternities decide for us our representatives and the number of our representatives. Lately the number of non-fraternity representatives has grown considerably; neither party could put the election over without the help of the non-fraternity vote. They lead us to believe at election time that the fraternity interests and the non-fraternity interests are the same, that we all are just one big happy family. This is not so. Our interests are different, they are the "in group" and the only time we get "in" is when they want our votes. Hears KFKU Broadcast Is there any reason why we should be given a 50-50 basis or any other? No, none whatever. We are the majority group and if we would select our own candidates at election time and not allow our votes to be split by non-friaritantly candidates of "their" selection we could make that 50-50 basis for the selection of candidates look more like 49-40 or 70-30 in the results.
