THE SENIOR AND HIS JOB
"What are you going to do next year, Bob?"
"Say, I wish I knew! What are you?"
"You said it. I'd give anything for a good job."
They are any two reuniens, any place. The world, which they have always heard was looking for trained men, seems to have fired out and stopped looking. Even the advertiser's slogan "Dream well and succeed" doesn't seem so extremely reliable any more.
The student who is finishing his university course suddenly comes face to face with the fact that his degree is not the magic key which will open to him every desirable position. Even the Phi Beta Kappa key doesn't serve that purpose very well. He is not with the question, "Have you experience?" until he wonders desperately how he is ever going to get any.
He finds, to his amazement, that some people regard a degree as a liability rather than an asset. Others are mildly tolerant, but think him "just a kid." Sometimes the theories and ideals he learned in the classroom are so zealled at.
Next year most of the seniors who are now "wondering" will have jobs. Some of them will be satisfied—and many of them will not. Perhaps a few will find that keeping a job, and not getting one, is the big problem after all.
The student who goes out to put the best into his job, sticks to it, and remembers that he still can learn, will find that after all, the world is yet looking for trained men. He will do much to increase the respect and demand for higher educational training.
The Hill philosopher tells us that the blooming of the campus iliacis is a result of the beautification plants in our political party platforms.
LO, THE POOR COLLEGE WOMAN
Whatever way she turns, they have her. Not content to hate her into their distraints on the wickedness and callousness of modern youth, published serially in countless numbers of editorial columns, they must now draw her wilty nily into the realms of modern fiction. Here she stands alone, with her author and the situations which he creates for her as sole buffers against the hungry mob of fiction fans who want wildy, "Let's see her as she in, this college woman." So they have her.
What she cats, and how she cates it. How she pets, and where she does it. Who her friends are, and why she are her friends. Her moods, her emotions, her once private thoughts—are all made public to the intense satisfaction of the curious foe fan.
"Mary rushed to her mirror. She pressed her flaming face against its cool surface." Now many girls before doubles have laid their cheeks against the cold surface of a looking glass. Perhaps they felt like it. We were never let into the secret.
But in such a situation now are we left with Mary? Mary must be diagnosed. Her mood, as she gazes into the mirror, is meticulously analyzed. It is discovered that she is comparing the charming arms of Bob with those of Hal and Slim and Gordy. She goes over their effect upon her.
The reader is taken right along on the little journey.
In fact, the reader may sometimes be accused of going farther than Mary does. For one has a speaking suspicion that Mary and the author had a hot debate on the subject right there, and that Mary was forced at the insistence of the author to submit to the desire of the fiction fans for entertainment.
"Hot stuff!" insists the author,
"All right," cries Mary, and goes on with the analysis of her emotions.
The fiction fan licks his lip and grins blissfully.
After all, the courtesies Marys o fact and fiction must often times heyear of "doing their stuff." It is expected of them, and that makes a lot of difference to any woman; especially to the heroine of a modern novel, who, doubtless, has her author's welfare foremost in her mind.
But if she had a chance, this Mary, to conduct her love affairs in her own way, choose her friend for what they might mean to her alone, and let Friend take care of her emotions, we make /a safe guess that she would do it.
The college woman of today finds herself blizzoned forth as the "best seller" of the decade. She reads of her passion for self-analysis, of her queer, critic actions, and of her resulting devilishness, and quite often proceeds immediately to go and do likewise.
It is her expected part. And the world applauds generously,
$\tau_{\mathrm{the noor college, woman}}$!
Now that the storm doors have been removed, we can all start five minutes later to class.
WESTWARD HOE!
Now the western side has come into its own. The old challenge "Go west, young man" is again a reality. The national W. S. G. A. convention often before held in staid Easton and other eastern cities is being held now in Oregon. Many fraternities and sororites are strengthening brotherly and sisterly bonds this summer in Seattle, Estes Park, and California. The West has become the meeting ground of this country of ours.
Where once the encroach of city faceties was the signal for national gatherings, now the hoe of western cultivation attracts the delegates of the nation. Easterners, no longer afraid of the shouting Indians and shooting cow-boys, venture across the western plains and mountains. Westerners, proud of their native soil, welcome their visitors with whole-hearted hospitality. And the poets, bursting into song, choose such subjects as "Way Out West in Kansas," "The West, the Nest and Yue, Dear," "California, Here I Come," and "Little Gray Home in the West."
Westward ho!
Only wealthy persons can live on "dis" interest.
Paris has just staged another of those parties as a result of which members of American ladies' aid societies throw up their hands in holy horror and decide that their offspring shall never go to that "wicked French city." True enough, it was a party which held up to cynical ridicule the mostraced relationships of the home. But who was responsible for it? The "diverse party" given by Mrs. Gladys Barber in Paris this week was given entirely for prominent women from America who had received or were about to receive degrees of divorce. The guest of honor was an American awyer.
GLASS HOUSES
Yet in the face of such wholesale irregard for the sanctity of the marital ties, many optimistic Americans balk on about the glory of the great American home, and point the ignure of shame at Paris. What, after it, has poor Paris done? A careful analysis of the really dissatisfied persons in Paris usually reveals the fact that they are wealthy Americans. The average Frenchman lacks both the money and the inclination for decouverch. But the great metropolis f France is chosen as the setting for n all-night party for fifty American divorces and an American lawyer, and the affair is given front page pace in metropolitan papers.
The people of this glorious U. S. A. of ours are becoming positively indifferent to the way in which the very foundations of American civilization are being undermined. We need to take a little less thought of the frailties of other nations and consider a great deal more the way in which we abandon our own disrespect of the great fundamentals of life before the eyes of the world. It's the old story about the people in the glass houses.
The aspiring reporter is all puffed up since he thought he heard Henry J. Allen say, "The cub of the newspaper is the greatest cub in the world."
Flating colleges have long been a fanciful dream. They are now taking on the aspect of practicability.
FLOATING COLLEGES
The new school idea, which is not new, provides an education with college credit for students who tour the world under the supervision of an instructor.
Why bring the world to the student when the student can be taken to the world? Why imagine how things may be when they can be seen as they really are?
Imagine a group of lively, wideawake students and instructors sailing from New York harbor prepared to spend a year in the important parts of the world. Think of the opportunities to broaden your conceptions, to think internationally, to study geography, history, economics, languages, literature, governments, law, art, music, and education as found in other countries.
In such cases the courability of teacher and pupil would be complete, student life would be better regulated, student interest would always be at its best.
Although water travel in much cheaper than formerly, only wealthy students could avail themselves of such education. Perhaps student operated hosts would solve the expense problem of other ambitious students, less able to afford such travel.
Going to school at sea, traveling in foreign countries, floating and carrying colleges around the world is the new educational possibility of the future.
Adventuresome youth who dislike the cramping walls of a land-attached university might then take to the sea,
visualize things that their poor imaginations could never fathom, receive college credit, and be broader men and women with a world viewpoint and understanding. [1]
All the mice of Emporia seem to have been trapped for misusing Uncle Sam's mail. Many a mouse has met the same fate for a less offense.
Cuba's tobacco yield fell 40 per cent. This should be cheering news to American cabbage growers.
Some profs are entering into the relay spirit and giving quizzes in relays. '
Every student can sympathize with France and her present financial embarrassment.
On Other Hills
A new printing press is to be in tatlloned soon at Depenw University. A part of the purchase price was an additional $50,000 for a sessional journalistic Integrity.
"Behavior among college students is no worse than among other young men and women," is the opinion expressed by Professor Brug of the University of California, upon returning from a convention of the American Association of colleges "Stemling and bootlegging are about in evident, but not serious, college education which students neglect is their association with other people."
While some of the Japanese students on the Pacific coast have become so disheartened by the United States exclusion net as to withdraw from the country, students of that race in the east are making a magnificent gesture of turning the other cheek. In 2013, the International House, New York, recently staged three Japanese dramas, the proceeds of which will be used to provide a scholarship for an American student in a Japanese university
University of Michigan is asking for an appropriation of $3,192,700. The legislators are visiting the campus before acting on the bill.
Coach Fielding II, Yost of Michi-
gan and Coach "Bill" Roper or
Princeton have an agreement to ex-
change places as football coaches for
two-week periods this spring in
order to benefit by the knowledge of
both in the different lines they pursue.
On the Atlantic coast the forward pass is little used but the line plunging and running are highly perfected. The latter is more the aerial attack. By intermingling these two the coaches hope to gain material. Yost left for Princeton on April 16, and Roper will return with Arm Armer with him about April 21.
By a unanimous vote, the committee on the proposed honor system rejected the adoption of this system at Harvard. The committee believed it was inappropriate to warrant its adoption, due to four binges; the size of Harvard, the loosely knit organization of the university, the lack of any strong feeling against the present system of honors, and the changing nature of the examinations.

People Do Read Advertising
SIX THOUSAND shoppers in stores in Boston were asked regarding their habits in reading newspapers before going on a shopping trip. According to Daniel Starch of the Harvard School of Business Administration these are the answers to the question: "Do you read the advertising?"
UPSTAIRS STORE
DOWNSTAIRS STORE
Answer Always Usually Rarely Never
No. Ans. 1299 1246 558 267
Per cent 38.5 36.9 16.5 8
Number 719 397 112 34
Per cent 56.9 31.5 8.8 2.7
In other words, more than three-fourths of the women shoppers read the advertising before they ever left their homes. What is true in Boston is true in Lawrence.
