CULTURAL RELIEF
As the spring time is daily impressively upon students more forethly that the school year is rapidly drawing to a close they show a desire for relief from the strain. Work of one sort or another is piling up constantly as the final weeks dwindle. Yet despite the hurry and need to save every moment, this week offers many opportunities for students to enjoy themselves and to forget the drudgery of acquiring an education.
So many interesting musical events are on the program that some of the less conspicuous diversions are almost forgotten. While planning a schedule that will include the more desirable musical numbers many students might find a delightful way to spurn spare moments between classes if they happen to be so unoccupied at the Administration building.
On the third floor of that building is being shown for a brief time a collection of paintings linked by the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York. Though a cursive visit will give but a jumbled impression, a first acquaintance is almost certain to bring the visitor back repeatedly. An appreciation for paintings is something that no one can deprive you of, nor does it wane; and it will not take much of your time to cultivate a intent ability for such appreciation.
Well, maybe Pola Negri will get married this time. Lenin finally died after about the seventeenth false report of his death.
So when studies become altogether too tiresome, when instructors abuse measly two-hour courses by giving five-hour assignments, take a little cultural stimulus from the art exhibit.
AFTER TWENTY-NINE YEARS
"Commence operations at once, put particularly against the Spanish fleet You must capture vessels or destroy Use utum endearades." So read the orders issued by the navy department in accordance with which Commodore Dewey and his squadron set out for Manila 29 years ago today. The Spanish-American war had begun and the United States was for the first time exerting her control in the Pacific.
That control has continued to the present hour. American troops are in the Philippines. Nicaragua is over run with marines. The Union Jack is floating in Chinese waters.
There are those who object to the present state of affairs. There are others who would sustain the department of state in its program of attempted rectification. All must agree, however, that our current problems are a direct outgrowth of the responsibilities incurred in '08.
Steps had been taken to annex Cuba even before the Civil war, but for years following the American public was still cling to its "handa off" interpretation of the Monroe doctrine. Like a mother dreading the thought of her child's growing into manhood, so the people of this country dreaded to see the institution of any changes which might necessitate a change in their conception of the governmental ideal.
But the child will grow and a nation
will develop in spite of all else, by the working of natural law. There came a time when this country experienced an interest in the affairs of others; when the grievances of others became our grievances; when Cuba, the scene of arbitrary公共政府 for a century, won our sympathy. And when our measure of forebearance was filled, we east forth our gunitlet and intervened in her behalf.
Such was a noble role, but a rule which once played demanded periodic repetition. America was the savior in 298. Ever since she has been expected to live in a similar capacity. And as we now look toward the Pacific, tolerance will become an easier matter if we but recall the motive which prompted the acceptance of the first challenge—29 years ago today.
THE BIG PARADE:
ACADEMIC STYLE
One of the peculiarities of the human animal is his passion for making a spectacle of himself; and this trait is demonstrated in its extreme in the University by the annual cap and gown show-off.
The commencement fete is looked upon by most seniors as an important event in their lives, like being born, getting a divorce, or having a funeral. Because they regard graduation as a great event, they strut out in grandma's black nightie and a mourn board headpiece, and suffer several hours of stiff-necked ritual.
It is a hard to tradition, this cap and grown totoffery. Any of us could gown-step across the stage for the trade-marks more comfortably without hiding and sweating in dyed and remodeled Ku Klux knits. Having to wear one of the bidebows gowns is bad enough, but in view of the fact that students have to pay exorbitant rent for them just for a few hours, the system is indefensible. Students should be paid for wearing them.
If the caps and gowns could be used on several occasions during the year, then rent would be less for each event. One way to relieve the situation would be for all students to wear caps and gowns on hobo day. The student council should look into this and make a new tradition out of it. If this plan fails to kill all the mourners of hobo day, then there will be a chance for the commencement carnival to display some of the galaxy associated with ridiculous garb.
However, an easier and more economical plan would be to abilless the granuation celebration entirely. The process of getting an honorable discharge requires several days, several dollars, and the agency of listening to the nummery of some venerable gentleman with a "message." Those who want their diplomas could have them sent out by mail.
If we all had plenty of money and time, and if we enjoyed wearing capes and gowns, there would be no reason for opposing them. Even then, people should smile at a university that makes its charges look like fools before setting them free.
Aimee McPherson's church of the four square gospel has split into two divisions all because of "increasing worldliness" of its leader. The horrible, terrible evidence of this worldliness is Aimee's hair cut. Of course, she says it is only a trim, but the auteur former leader of her orchestra shakes his head and declares it looks out mighty short to him.
THE WORLDLY AIMEE
The little incident with Ormiston and the ensuing trial were not worldly. Ob, not. But the bob is. Faithful followers of the gospel cannot tolerate such a thing. The fact that their foundation should hold the main position on the tabloids for several months could not possibly injure the church. A hair trim is a different thing entirely.
As for a new job being worldly, that, too, is another matter. If those dignitaries of the four square would take a look about them some day, they would realize that the job is becoming nausea.
Almee is not worldly. No indeed,
a worldly person would keep up with
the fashions. Almee, on the other
hand, is proving she is most removed
from things of the flesh. Absolutely!
