MONDAY, MARCH 14, 1927 IN THE FOREIGN STUDENT'S SHOES The Pan Pacific Conference is over and the delegates have returned to their respective schools. No great world problems were solved nor was any definite action taken toward better understanding between the various nations. But the Conference created in every delegate a warmer and kindlier feeling for the person of another land. To many of the Japanese exclusion net seems necessary. But, for one moment, picture a Japanese student standing before the Conference. In listening to his heartfelt words, let us become Japanese for the moment and muse upon our fate. The Conference revealed to Americans that no matter how virtuous our Christian treachings are, we as a nation are selfish. A Chinese delegate warned the Conference that "virtue is not to be left standing alone when we have neighbors." Here we are, millions of people crowded into a small territory—more than three hundred to a square mile. If we can make our land cultivable, we can live. But far off to the South we hear of an imperial nation strengthening her naval base at Singapore. Our limited appropriations must go for arms to protect ourselves against this encroaching power. The lands must remain un cultivated. We determine to seek a living in America, our kindly neighbor. Then suddenly America bars her gates. Our feeling is the same as Caesar's when seeing his trusted friend, Brutus, among his slayers. Not an individual could attend a conference meeting without thinking, "If only the rest of the world could be here, how easy it would be to ameliorate matters." The foreign students on American campuses are the cream of their native lands and, for that reason, are persons of not equal, but higher, quality than the average American student. Their friendship should be cultivated for their sakes, for our sakes, for the benefit of the nation, and for the happiness of the world. THE MEXICAN BOYCOTT Mexican推广商ands are circulating literature urging that American-made commodities be boycotted in favor of goods manufactured in Mexico, other South American countries or Europe. It is argued that buying from the United States helps enrich and strengthen this country—a very undesirable result, as the Mexicans see it. The second argument is that buying foreign-made goods delays the growth of Mexican industry. The movement indicates that some of the Mexican people evidently can be fooled in the same way as the citizens of this country. They have not all learned that a country is better economically when it buys where the best bargains are offered. The desire to build up Mexican industry is a worthy one, but American editors are pointing out that the quickest way for a poor and undeveloped country to do this is to encourage the investment of foreign capital-and developments in Mexico during the last six months in particular and the last 20 years in general have not encouraged such investment. Those who wish to keep Mexico for Mexicans are not criticized for their aim, but their poor economic judgment may do the country a great deal of harm. CONGRESSIONAL PLAYBOYS If college students should postpone all of their important assignments and term papers until almost time for school to be out and then fall utterly to accomplish the required work, they would "plunk out" with dire results. But the congress of the United States can dilly-dilly along, playing with the affairs of a nation, bickerback and forta among themselves, and the people who send them there deurn not in the least when they fail to do the thing which they were especially sent to Washington to do. This utter disregard for responsibility, lack of consideration of the people they supposedly represent, needless waste of the nation's money are just a sample of the selfish and greedy aspirations of political leaders. It is tragic that the nation entrusted with the nation's business should exploit their own interests at the expense of the nation's welfare. And the same men, or a group essentially like them, will be back in December. Editorials From Other Hills Why Attend College? The young man or woman of today in considering the advisability of attending college is confronted with the opinion of even men who have attained what the world calls greatness that a college does not pay and that the time spent in college might be more profitfully spent otherwise. (It goes on, politically) recently said that the four years a person spent in college were practically woned. Meredith Nicholson wrote in a similar vein in an article in Good Housekeeping magazine no so long ago. Both of these articles will bear reading and serious thought. All the colleges nor our colleges nor will they keep men young men and women away from them. Robert Ingersoll, writing a quarter of a century ago, made the asserices that a college is a place where people are polished and diamonds are dimmed. He also said that if Albermac Lincoln had gone to college he probably would have become a second class student. But it may, it is a significant fact that Lincoln always regretted that he had not received the benefits of a college training, and he made it a point that his son should receive the best college training possible to secure. It might be well in thinking of the career of Lincoln that he achieved greatness, not because he was not a college trained man, but in spite of it. Most colleges have a stipulation that a student must travel even for him. Statistics show that less than one per cent of the American people are college graduates; yet 57 per cent of them are high school vice presidentes, 64 per cent of our secretaries of state, and 69 per cent of the members of the supreme court have been college graduates. It is no accident that the college-trained men are more likely to state; it was inevitable that they should. The fact does not follow, however, that every college graduates succeeds but the per cent of college-trained men who fail compared with those without college training is small. There is always a standing reward for the services of the man or woman who has prepared himself by a special training for a specific task. A college course offers a person the chance of attaining the means of attaining that training. What is the basis for the saying, when a person has completed his college course, that he has returned from a four-year loaf? Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansnn: Dilip Kumar Venkata This is merely a jibe at the fact that students have been isolated from political and economic events of the present time and have made no effort to acquaint themselves with current problems and possible solutions of them. No effort is even made to bring students into most of the class rooms. Fundamentalism? Surely. What else could it be? It seems that the heads of this Campus Opinion OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN The faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will meet on Tuesday, March 15, at 8:30 p.m. in the midwestern on the third floor of the Library Building. and other colleges feel that because they acquired their education in the fashion that has been prevalent since Aristotle, we should follow it in our COLLEGE FACULTY; Vol. VIII Monday, March 14, 1927 No. 131 Why not offer a course in contemporary social and economic problems as they are now being met? Such a course would fill this one great shortcoming of our time. I bring the student into direct contact with present problems. It would also allow him to get in touch with both sides of these problems. About the only way that we can get people to read both sides of current problems is to start in order to understand why it is that I believe that a safe estimate of the people who get both sides of current problems is decidedly less than one in twenty-five. This is because we are by nature lazy physically and mentally; consequently, we care only about the most critical problems that conflict leas with our ideas.
