We note that our old pals up at Manhattan have launched an innovation in their campus class schedules. The Aggies will now have ten minutes between classes instead of five, says The Kansas State Collegeigan. What seems to be worrying The Collegian, however, is the fact that students will now have too much time to clutter up dear old Anderson Hail between classes. To quote: "Students who now pause only a minute on their way to the next hour, will no doubt pause five, and as a result, the building will be more crowded than a dime store at Christmas time." So worried has The Collegian become over the expected traffic congestion that it has served notice on the student body that all students who make a habit of stopping between classes to talk will find their names blazoned before the public in the columns of The Collegian. This publicity, The Collegian believes, will come to the notice of professors. The professors will then put two and two together and figure out why the boys and girls are late to classes. They will grade the students accordingly. The students, living in fear of this dreaded publicity, will be afraid to talk between classes and dear old Anderson won't be cluttered up after all. The result will be a fast-moving student body. The luckless souls who do break into print will be known as "The Parkers." The whole project looks to us like one of the ingenious inventions of Professor Lucifer G. Butts, whose brain children appear weekly in Collier's. It may be argued that The Collegian proposes to take a forward step by cooperating with faculty members. It may be that "Good morning, Dear Teacher" is no myth on the Angie campus. At any rate, we are sure that the plan of the educationally hungry editors of The Collegian will produce a student body whose members will move so fast that they will scarcely have time enough to thumb their noses at their best friends on the way to a class. Furthermore we predict that some of the boys and girls who live in fear of publicity will bring their lunch and stay all night in the college buildings. Then the benign professors of the Aggie school will come to their first morning class and find a long line of sleepy-eyed students waiting for the classroom to be unlocked. There can be no doubt but what The Collegian's move is a constructive one, but what we want to know is how The Collegian proposes to handle the cases of those professors who persist in holding class periods overtime, and so are not worthy of such mighty student co-operation. Our guess is that The Collegian editors are so strong for real education they will propose to make up for overtime classes by installing student-size pneumatic tubes between the campus buildings. Then the time between classes wouldn't be more than just a few seconds. "Nation Loses, Hoover Says."— Headline from Kansas City Times Check! BIRDS IN THE NEST boys in college are little birds in the nest, freed from the necessity of thinking." So says Arthur Brisane, columnist, in retort to a statement made recently by the president of Vassar College, who believes that college students tend to do their schooling in the management of their college and do not exercise enough control of public opinion. So ye Joe Colleges and yon Betty Coeels are babes in the wood, eh, and do not have to use their brains until they leave the zecluded shelter of the college and come out into the cold, cold world. Such huey is unbecoming a man who purports to be intelligent enough to write a daily column for The New York Times, or the newspaper reading public. Mr. Brisbane furthers his opinion of college folk by comparing them with the young robin who isn't expected to catch worms while in the nest. The erratic columnist should be spanked for refusing to recognize the fact that when students go to college they have left the home nest and very frequently catch their own worms, for almost half of the college populace is self-supporting. Could Mr. Brisbane's view be ful-licious, then? While faces are being made at the author of "today", it would be a pieasant task to slap Dr. McCruz, nobile head of Vassar, on the back and say, "Bravo, comrades! if there were more college presidents like you, students would be given more of a chance and acquire more of a right to run their own universities." As for controlling public opinion, students who are tomorrow's presidents, bankers, statesmen and postmen should have a wielding influence on every phase of life. Students are the cream of the intellectual crop. In European countries where that fact is recognized, student opinion is sought after and respected. But let a student in the University be yourself on something, go outside of the college realm and immediately back-fire is heard from the elders who shout, "Get back here to your promis, son, and let us take care of that." If more persons were like Dr. McCracken and fewer held views similar to Arthur Brisbanes, there would be many more efficient people running things out in the world. We make the mistake of letting the youngsters play with their toys too long before allowing their energy to be applied to something real. After all, college students will run the country in a few years, but the mess it is in now, the kindergarten isn't bad place to begin training youngsters how to filibuster in the senate while Mr. Unemployed cries for bread. "The Forty Years Ago" column of the Kansas City Times has a paragraph saying that young society men of the city wandered around town the other night singing "Sweet Violets." And after we've heard about those "good old days," it was an awful letdown to learn that it wasn't "Sweet Adline." NOTE TO JAPAN Once before, in 1915, such a note was issued to the Japanese government over the Shantung trouble. In 1921, Shantung was returned to China. The government has issued a note to the Japanese and Chinese governments, copies of which have been sent as suggestions to European powers, stating that the United States will not tolerate an activity or agreement making between the two countries that interferes with our treaty rights in the far east. The European governments have not yet indicated what will be their stand in this matter, but they are likely to follow the lead 'Painless' Study Methods Developed by Chattanooga History Professor Dr.安娜芬o Tenn., Jan. 9, (UP)—Dr. William B. Hesseltan has developed a "painless" method of teaching American history. for three years now, the youthful head of the University of Chattanooga history department has offered a brief course on the study of the history of these United States. He calls it "representative" because he is filled to capacity each semester. of the United States and issue confirmatory notes. Members of the "Representative Americans" class reed biographies and listen to lectures on the lives of typical This is a significant move and marks the first active political entrance of the United States into the situation. Japan will soon find that she must consider the rest of the world and not only helpless China in the furtherance of her imperialistic designs. SHADES OF JESSE JAMES The other day an old man, bent and wrinkled with age, appeared at the offices of Governor Caulfield of Missouri in company with several companions and "confessed" that he was Jesse James, the celebrated highman of sixty years ago. In making his claim, this man declared that the man who was killed by Bob Ford in St. Joseph, Mo., April 3, 1882 was a scoundrel and an imposter. He further stated that he had attended the funeral of the supposed bandit disguised as an Irishman. Perhaps there is some truth in the claim of this pretender to the crown of the famous Missouri outlaw, but more likely there is not. On the face of things and in the light of evidence this story seems to be little more than the pipe dream of an old man, a man hunry for the attention and publicity that might have been fist in earlier days. The strange thing about the whole matter is the fact that anyone should pick out a notorious outlaw as a model for impersonation. Maybe it is human nature; but why not choose some 'ruly great man to impersonate?' Is it possible that fifty years from now some old and battle scarred gentleman will attempt to create a sensation and secure a television contract by announcing to the world that he is none other than the famous gangster of the nineteen thirties, "Scafface" Al Capone? Or perhaps someone might try an impersonation of "Leaps" Diamond, the Egan Rats, or the Young brothers. All these characters would undoubtedly draw big crowds and open numerous opportunities for vaudeville contracts at fat salaries. If the impersonation was extremely successful, there's a chance that a seat in Congress might not be out of the question. Americans instead of forcing themselves through the usual admittedly tedious study of a textbook, with its confusion of dates, wars and facts. The lives of 18 men, from Franklin to Wilton, are studied during the college year. Through the activities of the students, we gain a picture of his period, the students absorb a background knowledge of their nation's history—its political, economic and soci- At any rate, the possibilities of this new racket for the future are practically unlimited. But personally, if we were going to indulge in the pastime, we would announce ourselves as Lindbergh, Byrd, Babe Ruth, or maybe even Hoover—that is, if the country was prosperous and it didn't happen to be a presidential election刀 This biographical approach serves to make history something alive and understandable, rather than a batch of facts to memorize. Dr. Hesselson finds. Our Contemporaries From The Syracuse Daily Orange: VANKEE CULTURE It has been the complaint of intellectuals on this side of the Atlantic that America's contribution to world culture is more the cultural invention, or, as one of them once stated, to "denisity, chewing gum and rubber heels." Recently, however, it has become clear that textifying to the literary forms, moral and political ideas, founded in the United States, which have largely influenced the culture of the Old World. That outstanding exponent of passive resistance, Mahatma Gandhi, acknowledged a few weeks ago that he wived part of his doctrine to the inspiration of the work of that Yankee hippoclean who, in 1904, told Thomas's "The Duty of Jolil Disobedience" is always in his胃 when he goes traveling. Emerson, the idealist whom so many American intellectuals have patronized rather impolite, was regarded by many as one of the great authors and the Old World philosopher usually carried throughout his wanderings in Europe some volume of the works he wrote in his confessions, declared that James Fenimore Cooper and his sea tales shaped his life. He was also a pioneer of plebicated allegiance to the American story-teller. O. Henry and Edgar Allen Poe have contributed two new forms of narrative, the short story and the detective tale. Even in this modern era, the contributions of American novelists, Sinclair Lewis among them, and American educators and philosophers continue to compete favorably in world media. Our chewing gum and rubber tubes From The Iowa State Student: AREN'T WE ALL? Each year there is the annual quote of "college" articles and stories flooding the literary market. Writers, both in print and online, cover the life and living of university and college students. Most of these productions are written only to catch the mind of the average reader who is prone to believe whatever he sees in them. In years to come it may be possible for the public to realize that college students are only like other people. You can be a teacher, a doctor, a smoker; yes, even the women students. They may be guilty of this, that, or other misdemeanors, but so are doctors, teachers, men, preachers, and all the people in the different walks of life. To expect college students to be different in ability, they must have parents, sisters, brothers and daughters of their mothers. The person who gives his impressions of college from the typical magnificence of college students has his attention to the probing of his own life material for reformation. The younger generation follows closely in the footsteps of the older generation. It is really pretty much like them. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXIX Sunday, 10. Jan. 1922 No. 86 AMM. Wm. T.
