PHI BETA KAPPA'S REPLY TO SIMONTON
In reply to a query by The New Student, Phil Beta Kappa has revoked its attitude toward Floyd Simonton, who refused to accept its generally coveted key. Oscar Voorhees, national secretary of the honorary society, writes that election is not based entirely on grades, that few students have refused membership in recent years, and that "they will not be missed."
Simonton refused to become a member of that society because he considered the prevalent system of grading a false criterion of scholarship and a dangerous foundation for intellectual ideism and achievement. His full letter of regret to the organization was printed in The Dove, and later in metropolitan papers.
The letter of the secretary needs no comment. The attitude, unworthy of that organization, is clearly exposed. The writer indirectly accuses Simmonon of adopting a supercilious attitude toward the organization. This is far from the truth. It takes more than a supercilious attitude to refuse something for which ninety-nine and one tenth per cent of the student population would willingly denounce all claims to original belief and conviction.
The letter, as printed in The New Student, follows:
"Your letter of January 11 is before me and in answer I would say that in the last three years, so far as I am aware, only three students have declined to accept membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Two of these were women. The last one, Mr. Simmonton, is referred to in your letter During the same meeting, he received in acceptance; hence the delinquents do not bulk very large, and Phi Beta Kappa is not at all worried.
"I wrote at the time to the two young ladies and found that both of them declined under a misapprehension and I judge, if the newspaper report is correct, that the same is true respecting Mr. Simonton.
"Phi Beta Kappa does not claim that grades are the final test of scholarship. It does believe, however, that men and women who are in college cannot claim to have made good use of their opportunities unless their work secures some recognition from other students." My answer does Phi Beta Kappa base its elections entirely upon grades. The theory prevails that these must be supplemented by good moral character and such interest in the affairs of the institution as to indicate a wide sympathy with the best things in education. It may be that in some cases those who are administrating the affairs of the school might be to appraise these other qualifications. The fact that these are in our theory of elections should be recognized.
"It is a very simple matter, of course, for a young man to manifest a supercilious attitude toward Phi Beta Kappa. That can only be made in the serious purpose of the organization, its remarkable history, and the great number of distinguished men and women in other generations as well as in current members. You can readily see that we do not worry at all when they take this attitude. Phi Beta Kappa will not miss them. They will miss an association which might be exceeded by any other, and consequently are the only losers."
Oscar M. Voorhees

THE UNITED STATES MAKES THE PLUNGE
In the manner of a heavy run walking on thinlee the Senate has adopted the resolution which make the United States a member of the Permanent Court of International Justice. The only question now whether the other nations of the world will accept the reservation with which our entrance into it court is hedged.
The victory in the court proceedings was sweeping, in marked contrast with the League of Nations fight. A vote of 78 to 17 is considered for mooted questions. The very fact that the closure was adopted indicates how well the mot of the sentiments know their own minds on the question of American adherence. The reply to the victory that the irreconcilables are making is "Well, it doesn't mean anything, after all." They declare that the Swainson reservations tie the hands of the court in regard to the affairs of the United States so completely that membership is merely formal. The big reservation is that the court shall give no opinions on matters touching the affairs of the United States other than those questions made subject to judicial consideration by the formal treaties of this country. This position is frankly one of these "yes," but" stands.
After all, the most significant point in regard to the entrance of the United States into the court is the fact that it is a beginning. The United States is making a trial—timidly and emotionally. The country has taken chances before. It took a chance when it set out on its own career as a nation 125 years ago. The result was unpredictedly gratifying. The future of American cooperation in the international problems of the world may prove to be a slow advance in the progress of peace co-operation between nations of the world.
It is just barely possible that the interference in the international radio data came as the result of practicing for the high-calling content to be held at Manhattan.

In the University of Arizona the oats kept there are in an egg laying contest, from reports, is a close race. Three penns of oats are being grown to produce a mixture of the different weight heats. The heavy oats are laying a few more eggs than the light heats, but the light oats are gaining on the heavier ones. Some eggs are laid at the beginning of December and the highest number of eggs laid by one hen has been 50.
