At their respective county club meetings this morning the majority of students may have been filled with a religious zeal to go back to their old high schools and crusade for the University. The main purpose of the movement, of course, is to attract students to the Hill—the more students the better. The success of any club is determined by the number which it succeeds in attracting to the University. But is it worth our while to concentrate our efforts on bringing a large number of students to the University? Educators, business men, and thinkers in every field of activity seriously question the value of a college education for a large number of the men and women enrolled in our institutions of higher learning. Some men, posing as authorities, maintain that half of our college students could spend their time more profitably cheowhere and that their education is not worth the time and effort expended. It may be that this estimate is too large, but undoubtedly there is a tremendous waste in attempting to give some people a college education to whom it means little or nothing. In presenting the University to their high schools, the county clubs should keep the possibilities and ideals of the University in mind more than the conditions as they actually exist. Idealization of the potentialities of the University may attract a smaller number of freshmen, but it is possible that a generation of college students may grow up of whom we cannot say that they have wasted their time. The value of the distribution of Joy-hawkers may be questioned on this score. Probably the cross section of college life given by the Joyhawk does not present the true purpose of a University and as such attracts a type of student who will fail to utilize the possibilities of the University. Depression Dances-Free! So read the advertisement of the Old Mill in the Toppea Daily Capital last night. Why not try a Depression Delight during finals this year? You've all heath' of old ladies who enjoyed ill health. HOOVER AND THE BUDGET While President Hoover utters protest after protest against the appropriation bills being introduced in Congress, the legislators go gaily on their way introducing measures which the President declares will cause an expenditure of four and one-half billion dollars above his budget. The treasury has a very slender surplus just now, and such excessive appropriations would have to be met by bond issues. Probably Hoover's warnings against the financial splurges of our legislators are justified, but the situation would be greatly clarified if the President had stood on an unequivocal basis throughout his administration. He is right when he says "Prosperity cannot be restored by raids upon the public treasury." Undoubtedly there is economic justification for his contention that bond issues for farm and unemployment relief at the present time would delay the return of prosperity by depriving industry and agriculture of necessary capital. But his opponents also have real cause for grievance. It is probable that the money which Hoover would prefer to divert into the channels of agricultural and industrial capital, rather than into form and unemployment relief, would find its way almost exclusively into industrial channels. It is very doubled if much of it would ever be used as actual agricultural capital. And then, the western senators can't forget that Hoover returned millions of dollars to the aluminum trust and other large business organizations since he has been in office, that Secretary Mellon has a direct interest in a number of these corporations, and that Hoover has never for a minute questioned Mellon's status as a cabinet member while at the same time he is actively interested in several of the largest corporations in the nation. Why hesitate about form and unemployment relief, even if we must increase taxes, say the western senators. Those people who got the big tax refund several years ago will be the ones on whom the burden of an increase in taxes will fall. NO NEED FOR IMITATION Not content with maligning members of one our first American families with the unjustified nickname of "pobblers," and using the pretext of advertising to promote such inappropriate events as "turkey rises," the public has finally offered these unappreciated friends the last indictment. at it has introduced a short-legged creature with a sninky head and long tail feathers, a creex between a chicken and a buzzard, and has given this monstrosity the undeserved name of "Turkmen." And now this illegitimate offshoot threatens to usurp the honored place of the genuine article at the festive board, dill itself with oyster dressing and sit up on the platter as if it really amounted to something. We ask you, does this nomenclity like a turkey? Does it sound like a turkey? Does it taste like a turkey? Christmas will vindicate the real thing, you wait and see. A PRETTY THOUGHT We have always had a failing for things that are pretty. We have always bought the candy in the box with the nearest wrapper; we have always bought it for the prettiest girl we could date; and we have always bought it to get that girl to say, "OH Thank YOU!" in the prettiest way. We have always picked the courses that have the most enticing names under instructions with a fair measure of pulchritude. We have always passed these courses by sitting on the front row smiling as most agreeably we can and by selecting the most luxurious Jonethans which we could tie in baby blue ribbon with the sweetest sentiment we could write. Today in our search for beauty we experienced that disappointment vouched to few. With all our love of the aesthetic and decorative, we were forced to deny ourselves the possession of the most decorative oil stock certificates we have seen. Lithographed in green and gold with a big shiny gold seal and illegible signatures that looked so business-like, it was a give-away at fifty dollars. We wanted it, but what college student ever had any money? We had just given our last dime to the Campus Chest, That old corner lot is still teeming with effervescent youth. Fun, fights and frolic are still part and partial of it. Although it is surrounded by billboards today, the cries of boys at play still echo and re-echo, throughout the neighborhood. THAT OLD CORNER LOT The same type of boys may be found on the old corner lot now as were found there twenty years ago. Scrubby is there. He is the one, you will recall, who owns the ball. If things don't go to suit him, Scrubby takes the ball home and the game is broken up. Then Jimmy is present. His mother has so many chores for him to do that it takes a great deal of persuasion to get him over. The boys wouldn't think of using the methods of Mrs. Jigs in order to have Jimmy with them. And Freddy is around. He always arrives with his best suit on. Before the game is over, mother has a lot of work on her hands. Last but not least is Oscar. When disputes arise, he lends Pil Stuart Alpha will hold initiation services at the home of Professor F. H. Guild, 141 Louisiana Street on Thursday, December 7, 2016 at 10 a.m., Stanley K.

After school, on Saturday and during vacation the well- worn so receive the imprints of vigorous feet. Young America rules on this old corner lot, and who is there who would dispute its right? A NEW DRY PROGRAM A NEW DRY PROGRAM The proposal had before the national temperate council yesterday, that the various dry organizations in the United States undertake a single leadership for purposes of protecting prohibition in the 1932 campaign, is the first real progressive step made by the drys in some time. Although the question of temperance is one for the church in its purely moral and ethical aspects, it leaves the province of the church when it becomes involved in our social and economic life to its extent in the present day. The traditions and forms of thinking which dominate the church in general limit its possibilities in a field requiring initiative and acumen in practical action rather than mere exhortation.

Plain Tales --from New York Just as the women were thinking that they were getting somewhere, a cynical professor remarked in his class this morning concerning the fact that "we now have" "The women used to promise to do something, and now they don't promise to do so." Was that professor jilted once? A certain member of Phi Gamma Delta who belongs also to another fraternity was exponentating at this other inner table.

He also wants to have information of round-ups of animals that have been held in the past few years so that he may have the exact number of those animals that have been exterminated. Baleigh, N.
