OUR CAMPUS
A noted sculptor visited our campus yesterday. He said;
"You are fortunate in having such an ideal location and you should take advantage of the wonderful possibilities afforded you not only by the construction of new buildings and drives, but by the constant maintenance and care of what you already have."
At the very moment he was saying these words he could, without doubt, see the unsightly paths that streak the campus in all directions; the trash old paper, tin, brick, lumber, and other debris that is always in evidence; the patches of weeds and junk piles behind nearly every building on the campus; and the automobilestreaks and unsightly ruts over the space in front of the Administration Building and the Gymnasium.
The appearance of our campus is to the University just what our external appearance is to the impression we create among others. What shall our campus say to its visitors?
VIVE LE GENERAL!
The coming of Major Genera William M. Wright to the University this week will remind many students, who served in the Thirty-fifth Division, of the dust-eating days at Camp Doniphan, Okla. General Wright was in reality the "daddy" of the division. He had charge of the organization through its military boyhood, and was in its command until the division was sent to the battle front in France.
The appearance of General Wright on the campus will remind many men of the straight, military figure that rode horseback on tours of inspection over the Camp Doniphon drill grounds. They will think of the big, black touring car they so frequently saw on Camp Doniphon roads with the two-starred flag flying over the hood. They will think of the man with the critical, scrutinizing glance who stood alone at division headquarters and inspected them as they dragged worey feet over the last miles of the killing six-day hike into the Wichita Mountains. They will remember, also that there was a trace of a fatherly gleam in the General's eye on that day, and here and there a wrinkle on his face indicated anxiety and sorrow. General Wright knew that there were many men in that tired, dust-covered column that would go to France never to return, and it may have been that on this occasion he was thinking of mothers in black.
The men of the University who were with the Thirty-fifth will be glad to see the General, but they are just a little glad they don't have to salute him.
THE GOLDEN FIST
It must have been an exhilarating bit of news for the college professor when he read the other day that the consideration involved in the Dempsey-Carpentier prize fight is to be a half million dollars, of which the champion is to receive $300,000 and the challenger $200,000. The profesor realizes wint a handicap he has been struggling under in his possession of two or three degrees and a life time of study and research. Jack Dempsey, on the occasion of his fight with George Carpentier, will receive for an hour's work more money than the average college professor can realize from his academic endeavor in thirty years. Dempsey is no handcapped with an extensive education in the arts and sciences. The professor is.
It is unfortunate that a man should be paid such enormous compensation for his physical prowess, while an other man, wearing the cloak or learning and scientific accomplishment, receives a pittance for his of sorts that is niggressive in comparison. It is a dark splobre on our civilization that we pay more to the man who has developed his biceps than we do to the man who has developed his brain. Thousands will willly pay for high priced scars to see Dempsey and Carpentier fight. Some of these same persons, no doubt, are among those who complain of the taxes that go to the compensation of the man—the college professor—who every day adjusting American youth to higher standards and ideals.
It is time, indeed, that we vanquish ed the day when a horny hand i worth more than a wrinkly brain.
OUT OF ITS REALM
With a somewhat preceious journalistic analysis from Washington of President Harding's approach
A professor has decided to problem of choosing the diplomats for his administration, the faulty system by which the United States conducts its diplomatic affairs is made evident again. Both Republican and Democratic administrations have been prone to drag the diplomatic part of the national government into the spoils system—a place where by no means it should ever be found.
That the diplomatic corps is a vitally important part of the national government is evidenced by the manner in which France has acquired colonial possessions through diplomacy alone, since the Franco-Prussian war, which placed that country on a territorial footing second only to Great Britain. Yet the United States is apparently content to enthrul the diplomatic conduct of her foreign affairs to men who have had little or no experience in diplomacy, but who, instead, have frequently in the past been among the "boys" of the particular party that happened to be in power.
An investigation will show that the faults found in our system are many indeed. We send men who know little of the intricacies of diplomacy to battle against the wits of the representatives of other countries who have spent their lifetimes in the study of and participation in diplomatic activities. We pay our ambassadors salaries that are far inadequate, and in so doing make none but rich men eligible for the diplomatic corps. Our official educational system for service as diplomatic representatives entails to little or nothing. The entrance examinations are not nearly as strict as they should be, and experts say the age limits are too low.
Many well-founded, constructive criticisms have been made of our system, and it is generally hoped that the future will see the enactment of a remedy. But it is obvious above all that the conditions governing the character of our diplomatic corps should be lifted from the realm of politics.
Two students of Northwestern were acquitted after having been arranged in police court on a charge of trespass preferred by Pennsylvania railroad officials. The young men had started to ride the bumpers to the football game between Northwestern and Indiana in Indianapolis.

Get Better Acquainted
MR. D. M. MANN
D. M. Mann, instructor in the department of sociology, has had a variety of experiences in the last five years. After graduating from Oklahoma Normal in the spring of 1913, he went to Constantinople, France, and then to Roberts College, the largest American school in the Near East.
Some people say there is nothing in the idea of judging character by the handwriting. They are certainly misinterpreting it, but by the handwriting is not infallible, but let me tell you just a few rules to follow. People who are stingy and close almost invariably write small letters with less generous as a rule write large hands.
When America entered the war in the spring of 1917, it was thought that the college would close, and he returned to the United States. Upon returning from the war, he listed in the First Army Corps headquarters detachment. After reaching France, he transferred to a Mobile Hospital Detachment and with them saw action on the Champagne, Loysey, St. Mihiel, and Angorne fronts.
Since the war Mr. Mann has attended school at the University of Oklahoma one summer and at the University of Kansas last year, getting his B. A. degree at the end of his four years in college master's degree this year but on account of the shortage of instructors decided to teach instead.
When a person starts a word and writes the letters carefully and then at the end of the word taper off into just a waving line, that person is usually careless about details and does not finish his work well.
READ YOUR LETTERS
People who write an even, steadily hand, letters all about the same size, and written regularly, usually have very even, well-balanced dispositions. They are not necessarily of fancy curricules in writing is vain. Natures that sign letters with a scroll under the signature as a rule are proud and formal. Experts at writing have been trained to correspond a correspondent has been trained as a bookkeeper and if they have had this training usually they are very careful and thorough in what they write. They spend much time to small details. They usually get their facts straight.
