TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1920 HAIL, LAMBDA PI ALPHA Have you heard about the new organization on the Hill? It's Lambda Pi Alpha—national library pests" association. Students who try to study in the library have long felt the need for such an organization, and ove a debt of gratitude to the founders. Members of the organization are easy to locate. You find them almost any time running around in the library exchanging bits of scandal with other members or with students who wish to study. They are always very careful, as they pursue their way from table to table, not to disturb more than ten or twelve students around them. Although not especially popular with the average student the members of Lambda Pi Alpha seem to labor under the delusion that they are about the "cuteest things ever" and always try to attract attention to themselves. Their conversation is simple. If the member chances to be a woman, the topics are men and dates; if a man, women and dates. The organization is in no way secret since the members cannot keep secrets anyway. YOUTH AND ENERGY Anyone seeking admittance is advised to apply at once before the big public hanging which is almost certain to take place unless the L. P. A.'s cease annoying students in the reading rooms of the library. While strolling about the campus last night a student heard excited shrieks and yells from the basketball game. It reminded him of a statement made by Dr. Anna Louise Strong, who visited the campus recently. "American students waste their youth and energies in yelling and dancing," she said, "while youths in China, India, Russia, and in other European nations spend their energies in thinking 'how to live,' and in reconstructing their nations." The situation is worth thinking about. Students tend to think that they are "intellectual highnesses," the cream of America, and eventually of the earth, because America is the most civilized and strongest nation in the world. Yet students in America have had little or no influence on national politics, excepting the case when the Student World Court Conference made a feeble attempt to influence Congress last December. Not that the college yell, inter-college athletics, or dancing should be abolished. Go to it, yell and jump around while you are young, but don't forget why you are here. "THE VERY SOUR OWL" "Why, to scold a journalist for violating a principle would be like finding fault with a politician for breaking his honor; neither would know what you were talking about." Thus one Bernhard Bloch, in an article in "The Dove," takes occasion to make a sweeping condemnation of the entire profession of journalism The Kannan is not antagonistic to "The Dove." On the contrary, it believes that "The Dove" has a place and a function in the University which cannot be filled by the Kannan. There is more chance for free expression of opinion in "The Dove" than the Kannan can possibly offer. The cause of this outburst seems to have been the popularity contest for men conducted in the latest numb mark of the "Sour Owl," and the print ing of the names of the young wom men voters who had thought the ballot was a secret affair. The responsibility for the offensive features of the last Sour Owl has been assumed by a few individuals. The organization which published it admits that the supervision exercised was not close enough. It is, however, tempted to the new student council; that has been history for some time. The Kenyan has never sympathized with the objectionable features of the "Sour Owl." It was among the first to condemn it as not representative of Hill humor. But the Kenyan has a few editorial principles, one of which is that irony and caracun are poor weapons in defense of a proposition that could not win on its own merits with thoughtful people. It is no more fair to condemn the profession of journalism because a few men let objectionable material appear in the "Sour Owl" than it would be to judge all the intelligence of "The Dove" by the article quoted above. CERTIFIED HUMAN BEINGS Today is the birthday of Sir Francis Gatton, English arduist and writer, who originated the study of eugenies. He was the first to advance the idea that systematic efforts should be made to improve mankind by checking the birthrate of the unfit and furthering the productivity of the fit. Directly in line with the teaching of Calton is a movement closely allied with the Eugenics Society of the United States, which is intended to allow families of satisfactory health and history to obtain credential distinguishing them from those of a lower exigent level. The movement is to be made a part of the "different family" contexts being held at state fires, according to an article in a current issue of Science. The plans of the National Engineers Society as well as the ideas of Sir Francis Galton are too exact and business-like to be applied to human beings. The plan presents a vital problem that must be dealt with in the near future, but a method of distinction of one family from another would not meet with favor in the liberty-loving world we have today. It is easy to tell a Hereford steer of good blood, but steers do not go around disguised in snappy cut clothes. Editorials From Other Hills Morality and Roots The Hili has received formal notification from the Urbana Women's club of its "deblinking" the publication of a scene, an "scene and suggestive" picture advertisement the impending production of it play in one of the upown theateras the theater which will house this play agree that there is no occasion for flaunting pictures of this character, advertisement is not to be used again. The Illini does not attempt to condone the use of obscene and suggestive pictures in advertising, and our ensuing remarks are not to be taken as such. But as a matter of fact the advertisement under discussion, in common with a great many others of the same allegedly abhrielical character, are among the least dissonant of all advertising, in public print and out. They are a kind of insultable and unmanable piece of work which public, decent minded persons will applaud, but the advertisement was an exact reproduction of a scene in the show, and as far as we can see there is only one subject, that is, it is worse than the subjects which it advertises; one doesn't have to go to the sort of choice of which one disapproves, but one does have to look at advertisements if one wants to read the other matter of a different diet of the dictates of good morals and nature. It is probably against public law as common decency to display the feminine figure with too much accuracy, but the advertisements are faithful reproductions of actual scenes in the shows. The Illini raises no cry of reform on this issue, nor on very individual actions, which specializes in the nude or semi-nude is popular and makes money, persons engaged in making money by motion pictures will continue to bring such pictures to Champaign and Urbana. Figures are not available to support our opinion, but we believe that a college town like to see the since and tangents of female curves more than an ordinary community is an important and significant indenture but career undergraduate large areas of feminine integument will draw large numbers of persons to sit at the feet of the operator and study the heavily bodies. It is perhaps better be advertised for what they are. We view this situation with no great alarm, and can find no particular concentration of local movie houses for their policy, which may be neither unfavorable nor favourable policies in other urban centers. Alfred J. Graves, instructor in advertising, will speak at a meeting tonight at 7:30 in the Journalism building. ALPHA DELTA SIGMA; KENNETH SIMONS. President. Copy received by the Chancellor's office until 11:30 a.m. Vol. VII, Tuesday, February 16, 1926 No. 112 OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Many School Children Attend Saturday Morning Art Classes Offered by Design Department Between 35 and 40 school children regularly attend the art classes in construction work which are held under the umbrella of the department of Design every Saturday morning from 10 until 12. These charges comprise four groups, varying according to the ages of the pupils. "We try to give the pupils a different type of work from any they do in the schools," she said in speaking of the efforts made by the school in the schools because of the large numbers in the classes and the lack of equipment. These Saturday morning classes on construction work entirely under uniformity equipment is at their disposal. "The purpose of the chases is to give University students, who take methods work the opportunity to do practice teaching," said Miss Marion Peers, assistant professor of design, who is supervising the work. The intermediate class is the larg- The primary class, which is comprised of children from 4 to 7 years of age, does simple construction problems in cut paper, making chairs, tables, pumpkins, and so forth. The object is to teach them to draw with the schenker. When they have become proficient, they are given wax crayon woo and later some simple work in clay modelling to get the idea of form. This advertising, if it outrages public decency, should he banned from public display on bill boards and the like where it can scarcely be avoided, or even left unattended, writing media will refrain from thrusting onto their readers' consciousness matter which offends. We believe, though, that the roots of public morality are deeply rooted in instances of those forces which supposedly nibble at these roots.
