U. 25 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23. 1927* Polluted in the afternoon, five times at 10 a.m., by lightning and by the Department of Journalism of the University of Texas. On Wednesday, the Department of Journalism, at 11 a.m., posted a letter matter September 17, 1956, at the post office at Lawton. THE PRESS AND SOCIAL CHANGE Some critics of the newspaper speaks as though it were the business of the press to bring about change. It is not. Innovations are made by gnosis who can get away from the bonds of habit which the most of us to routine. What has been called, rather improperly, the "herd instinct" binds the editor just as it binds the rest of us. But it is the editor's business to record chance. When an innovation is once instituted, the newspaper press broadcasts information about it, so the change progresses much more rapidly than it otherwise would. The newspaper is one of our mediums of communication, and as such it is a catalyzer of human affairs. It speeds up a reaction, but does not institute it. The conditions must be there beforehand. SUNDAY TENNIS The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals should be happy. A deceased woman philanthropist has left a fortune of $20,000 to the undermercies of seven sacral cuts. The student who is really keeping up his grades and at the same time entering into activities has few other times when he is free for this sport. Sunday afternoon is an ideal time for him to take this mental and physical relaxation. For several years students of the University have been trying to get into effect a provision whereby the tennis courts will be kept open on Sunday. And although general opinion is not as much against it as formerly, still we have no rule allowing the courts to be used. The primary reason that the courts have not been kept open is that of the belief that persons visiting the University will get the wrong impression of it from seeing the students playing. But these same persons all come from towns where golf and other similar things are generally accepted amusements. They surely could not object to seeing the courts keep open. There is no rowdyism concerned in a quiet game of tennis; and if the students are granted this much wanted privilege, they will not abuse it. The persons who object to this provision surely realize that they cannot hope to keep students from all amusements on the Sabbath; and it is a safe bet that there will be other amusements far more objectionable than tennis which the student will find to take its place if this recreation is denied him. IRISH FREE STATE MACHINERY SLIPS COGS The dissatisfaction in Ireland over the indecisive result of the recent election is a reminder that a republican government built on the plan of that in Ireland and in the United States, has certain serious drawbacks not found in a parliamentary system like that of England. President Cograte of the Irish Free State finds himself in the same position he occupied before the election, without a working majority in the Dail. Fannia Fail party, led by De Valera, retains practically the same number of seats it had.

The probability is for the deadlock after another when the bill convenes. Under a parliamentary system of government, the party in power would step out when it lost a working majority, and the opposition would organize a new cabinet. Legislation could then go on under the guidance of the new party, without the bickering, compromise, and inefficiency which result when neither party has a clear majority in the legislative body. The United States has found itself in the same position as that now occupied by the Irish Free State several times in recent years. At its last session, Congress was greatly handicapped because the party in power did not have a working majority. It is significant that what has happened in Ireland to balance the parties so equally is the same thing that has happened in the United States in recent years. Party policies and distinctions have virtually been erased and no one can say what the policy would be if De Valera were to come into power. No more could any one predict what the policies of our government would be if the Democrats were to assume the guiding reins in he United States tomorrow. OUTGROWING RELIGION The average college student, according to popular opinion, is growing away from religion. This view is based upon observation of the college student returning home to take an active part in the business and social activities of the community, But the college student is not growing away from religion—he is merely outgrowing his youthful fancies concerning it, his feeling of mysticism, and his near-superstition awe of all things of a religious nature. The average college student has no opportunity to develop a religious philosophy to take the place of this outgrown type of belief. While he is given every opportunity in the classroom to ovelve new theories as to chemistry, the workings of the human mind, or the rights and duties of the citizen in the community, he fails to get an equally essential development along religious lines. His social activities so encrouch upon his extracurricular hours that study or recreation replaces his weekly or semi-weekly hour of worship. In the end it is only natural, in the light of his evolution in social, economic and scientific lines of thought, that he should develop a critical attitude toward his old beliefs. The result is apt to be an omission of religious activity, for he has no new philosophy developed to substitute for the type of activity he outgrown. This problem will be solved when an opportunity is given students to develop as naturally and completely in religious attitudes as in business and citizenship. Only a small part of this task can fall on the shoulders of schools of religion, for their enrollments are numerically small. The major burden rests upon extra-curricular student organizations, such as the W. Y. C.A. and the Y. M. C.A., and the various student organizations of the churches. The major problem of the organizations today is to get the interest of the average student and to convey to him this advanced philosophy of religion.
