MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1926
It is well to pause in our busy life and pay tribute to the fine arts. The arts have made life more enjoyable, more beautiful and more worthwhile. While the beauty of life lies all about it, we takes the painter, the sculptor and the musician to interpret it in order that we may fully appreciate it.
FINE ARTS DAY
The arts may not always directly play an important part in the life of the individual, but the benefits he receives because the world has been bettered by the desires of others for beauty in tone and color makes his daily life reach a higher plane than that of his predecessors who lacked many of these things. The world would indeed be a drab and uninteresting place if it lacked the inspiration of poets, musicians, and painters. The arts are a measure of our standard of life. With them comes greater order and greater justice.
So now we pause to hear the story of those who have dedicated their lives to making life more enjoyable. And they have prepared a day appropriate for the occasion. Twelve hours are packed with art and music. In previous years the day has been spent partly, in dancing and listening to speeches, but this year it has been decided that a Fine Arts Day should be wholly dedicated to the arts in every phase.
AT LAST
At last there is to be an election in which an equal encouragement to vote will be given to everyone.
In previous elections it has always been necessary for a large number of voters to go to the business office for receipts in order to vote. Last Thursday the condition was such that a fair election was impossible, for few of the voters who will go to the polls are interested enough to make a trip to the business office for the exercise of their privilege. So 800 qualified to vote last Thursday, and many more who have been qualified in previous years, have been encouraged not to vote by the failure to get complete lists.
Perhaps the postponement of the election was a good thing. It caused considerable loss of time and money, and will cause more, for parts of the campaign will have to be re-entered, but it will make the election of equal convenience to all.
It is hoped that the Men's Student Council and the business office will be able to co-operate in future years in making the conduct of every election as efficient as they promise to make this one. The elections may be of small significance, but every student should be encouraged to exercise the remnant of democracy he has in the choice between two sets of candidates.
COMMERCIALIZING ROYALTY
Romanian circles became indignant because Queen Marie was advertised as the "main attraction" of the day at the Sequesterental exposition Oct. 21, and because her value as a public attraction was said to rival that of the Dempsey-Tunney fight. In round figures, it was reported that seats to the queen would sell as
high as $50, while the choicest seats for the fight were only $25.
for the light were only $27.00.
This fact is not so startling since exhibitions of royalty are far rarer in democratic America than a common prize fight. Queen Marie's publicity has far excelled that of the Dempsey-Tunney contest, even before she started her plagiarism across these United States. Then too, being commercialized in commercial America ought to be an added nobility to royalty.
Readers of American newspapers are almost satisfied with details of the personal life of the royal party, their clothes, their food, their sports and pastimes. The great American public loves to read that the Queen is a human being, that she chews gum, that she is an excellent swimmer, that she needs her daughter, and that she ate a whole plate of chicken hash.
Then the great American public condescends to reach deep into its pockets for $50, to catch a glimpse of an embodiment of a time worn tradition.
Democratic America! Within her boundaries are people scantily clothed and hungry; people not able to pay cool bills for the coming winter; people unable to meet doctor bills, and people unable to educate their children.
Still Democracy bows to Aristocracy!
"APPLE-POLISHING" AS AN ART
That persistent pest, the "apple-polisher", is with us in even greater numbers again this year. The Hill is so over-run with them that those who do not belong to the fraternity are contemptifying an exodus from the school. Franchi instructors rack their trains, seeking a remedy that will either kill or cure. But it is all of no avail; the guilty ones go about their work of "apple-polishing" calmly and quietly in a business-like manner.
For the "apple-pollinizer," be it known, is the student who remains after class to jolly along the teacher in the hope of securing a good grade. He is not in search of information; what he is looking for is a way to get by with a minimum of work and the highest mark possible.
He has his own guaranteed-not-to-fail method of attack. If his instructor has a hobby, he inquires after it interestedly; if he is writing a book, the "apple-polisher" wants to know all about it from the name of the first chapter to the probable number of pages. Or he may gush over the course, comparing it with other classes to their disagreement. Asking for advice is always good, too.
If the "apple-polisher" took all the courses that he faithfully promised his dear teachers, he would still be around in 1955. And he would be the library's chief customer if he were to peruse the list of outside readings that had hopefully been suggested to him.
The strange part is that his obvious methods so often succeed. Faculty members, otherwise hard-booted, succumb to such blindishness without resistance. The "apple-polished" is hated and admired, envied and emulated. Pest though be he, is his has become a college institution.
Petitions remonstrating against a recently revised edict that all women students shall remain in their residences after 0 p.m. at night, resided in the general welfare of all the men on campus at Hamower College recently.
A new journalism department has been organized at Tulane University, New Orleans, under the direction of George E. Simmons, former city editor of the Nashville Tennessee, who is to be head of the department.

The Y. M, C. A, at the University of Missouri sponsored a get-together meeting of the working student men and their emphayers. The purpose is to offer them a chance and more co-operative spirit between the two factions.
A cabinet made up of presidents and representatives of student organizations has been formed at the University of California for the purpose of giving advice in all student affairs and assisting officers of student activities.
