GLAD YOU'RE BACK
MONDAY. JANUARY 3, 1921.
Most of us seem to agree, this Monday morning, that even though our Christians was the merriest ever, and our vacation delightful, fifteen days in a long time to spend away from Mount Orcad.
Some of us worked during the vacation time, and those believe they may, that work on the campus, among University people, was much more pleasant than in strange and foreign places. Others of us played, and these seem to have found out that the mixture of play and work on the campus was much closer to happiness than long days of complete idleness. So now, even if there are a lot of term papers to work up in the next three short weeks, and the faculty threats to enliven things even move in the last week of the semester, one cannot help but feel glad that vacation is over, and that the time has come for renewed activities on campus and in classroom.
FORMALITY ASLEEP
There must be a moral in this editorial, but as George Ade successfully discovered; You can't always get the moral from the text of the story.
Some time ago, a party of twelve was enjoying one of the most democratic of America's democratic institutions—a steak roast. One of the party cavaliers asked how many of the six young men and the six young women had really been introduced to each other. One of the men had not been introduced even to one of the party, and only infrequent cases developed where either a man or woman had formally met another than his own fraternity or security brothers and sisters. The highest number of introductions recalled was six, and one woman, youngest on the Hill, reached that number.
So, of course, there's a moral.
ATHLETICS FOR EVERYONE
But this year sports have been emphasized more than in former years. Larger numbers of students have participated than ever before. The Pan-Hellenic basketball league will draw out many men who would
ATHLETICS FOR EVERYONE That everyone should engage regularly in some form of physical exercise, has long been the verdict of the leading physical directors of the country.
For some years the University has recognized this fact and required all freshmen and sophomores to take some form of physical exercise. But the plans have not worked out satisfactorily for the students. They are obliged to take a certain form of exercise prescribed by the authorities. The main fault without a doubt, has been that the students were not always allowed to take the exercise they liked.
otherwise not engage in any form of athletics. The men who play with the social fraternities will not be allowed to play in the professional fraternity, league even though they are members of both organizations. In this way many more men will be drawn into athletics.
The Olympics, the Inter-Organizat-
ions track meet, and hash house
leagues all have a tendency to get
a larger number of persons inter-
ested in athletics.
With more people engraved in athletics, the students of the University will be in better physical condition at the end of this year than ever before.
CRIME
With the newspaper raiding in practically every big city in the country, with the city police departments nearly powerless to cope with the situation, it is time that we attempt to analyze the wave of crises that seems to be sweeping over the nation.
Psychologists and other learned men ascribe this development to the war, claiming that the normal aftermath of an international struggle is law-breaking. Perhaps this theory is correct; at least history points to this deduction. However, the underlying principle, so patent yet so soldom discernable, lies in a great economic problem. "The great army of the unemployed" is gathering recruits daily. Subsistence is guaranteed only by the medium of exchange. These media come generally in pay envelopes. If there are no pay envelopes, thurgery is a "solution."
To combat the reign of thievery which is demoralizing the police and arrest, there are several weapons which should be loaded and put on the firing line; restriction of immigration, severe court penalties, enlargement of police protection, and an increase in building construction.
THE TRESPASSERS
The older member of the Faculty and the upperclassman at the University can easily recall the time when the area immediately in front of the East wing of the Administration building was covered with a heavy growth of blue grass. Today deep ruts and marks of automobile tires constitute all that is to be seen there. For a considerable length of time the drivers of cars rented only a short distance off the cinder road onto the grass. This last vestige of restraint and hesitant self-respect has now disappeared and seems unlikely of resurrection for some time to come.
There will be a time in the future no doubt when the roads of the campus will be paved. The curbings along the edges will prevent cars from driving on the grass when that time comes; but, until that time, should the grass in front of both wings and of the middle section of the Administration building, in front of the Gymnasium, north of Snow Hall, east of Fraser, and in front of the Chemistry building be killed.
The students should let their sense of value be instrumental in parking their cars on the cinder driveway and not on the grass. Their loyalty should keep them from driving several hundred yards over the grass to West Administration.
The student governing bodies, through the authority invested in them, have a big opportunity to declare themselves on this subject in no uncertain terms, instead of giving all of their time to the discussion of graft, praft, and Advisory Assemblies, etc. Their support of some means of ending the further destruction of blue grass accessible to the automobile, would be invaluable.
Student and professor alike can do much to help. The unrightfully foot paths across the campus appear as mere scratches in the looks of the campus when compared with the ravages of the automobile.
Eliminate the greater evil and the lesser will follow, or eliminate the smaller and make the greater more undesirable. The decision rests upon the interest and loyalty that each one evidences in regard to the looks of the campus.
Herbert Hoover, former food administrator, when recently called to a conference of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, showed his broad viewpoint when he refused to place all the blame for present industrial conditions on either capital or labor.
BROAD-MINDEDNESS
He admitted that the employees were partly to blame but he refused to come to the federation that the laborer did not have hand in the trouble also.
He demonstrated that he was capable of looking at both sides of the question, and of seeing the situation through the eyes of another as well as through his own. It is this sort of ability and the degrees of imagination which marks man as one who is well educated in the highest sense of the word.
College students should possess this same broadness of mind, or at least should show signs of some day being capable of looking at the matter from two or more angles. Are the most of us of this sort, or are students continually allowing themselves to slip into narrow habits or thinking, thereby seeing only their own side of a problem?
That is the question and it can hardly be answered in any other way than by admitting that there is really something basically wrong with the training of many of us. Students are enclined to restrict themselves to their own view entirely, and thus tending to break down the influence of such broadening subjects as may be studied.
The trouble is not with the college education; it lies with us. Under the present college elective system — there is the opportunity to choose the courses which to take, and to decide what subjects will be of most benefit.
The habit of looking at great matters and questions or theory in this way should eventually teach us to record the small, but perhaps more important questions of personal relations with the same impartiality.
AT LAST
Congress has at last come down to orth and started to deal with present every day conditions, instead of doing its annual paychel research to the mystic future.
Chief among the important questions is that of reduced prices of corn products. When a bushel of corn is not worth as much as a bottle of pickles, something is "all come" some place.
Representative Young of North Dakota has introduced an amendment to the Federal Reserve Act which would allow the Federal Reserve Board to deposit part of its earnings with the Federal Farm Land Banks to be long to agriculturists, so that they might hold their crops for better uplift than those now obtaining.
At Rice Institute, Houston, Texas,
ground is soon to be broken for a
new Community House which will contain
a ball room, an auditorium,
a canteen, a cafeteria and rest rooms.
Next year it is planned to build garage
for the convenience of students who
have cars with them at the University.
On Other Hills
The farmer who based his production at a high cost of labor before his products commenced falling in price, is now sustaining serious losses, and will cease producing unless some remedial steps are undertaken to save him. If some situation can be brought about by Congress whereby the farmer can now be extended credit to tide him over his financial crisis, much will have been done for him and for the country in general. Some form of receipt for big stored grain, which could act almost the same way an commercial paper would be a Godsend to the farmer in his present predicament.
The sooner Congress gets busy and copes with situation to relieve the present agriculture condition the better. And it is to its credit that it is at last getting busy.
The University of Wisconsin is building a general hospital which will cost $12,500 upon completion. The main structure coating $75,000 will be completed at once. The other special wings will be completed later. Hospital staff will have a state hospital and a well-equipped training school for medical students.
At a recent religious census taken among 2,000 students at the University of Chicago by the Board of Christian Union, it was revealed that among the 2,000 there was only one oathist, only two agnostics, and that more men go to church than women.

An inter-fragrency pool tournament is being conducted at the University of Missouri. Sigma Nu leads the field, according to the latest report, with three games won and none lost. The Beta, the Sig Alpha, and the Phil Deltas each have won one victory to their credit.
