Eager students are scanning schedules, choosing courses for next semester. What have enrolment day is going to play with these plans? Optimistic indeed is the upperclassman, who, having enrolled many times, still expects to protect those favorite courses from the onslaught of that fateful day. The senior who has tried repeatedly to get a given course sees his last chance finding away, because his parents saw it to make him the bearer of a name beginning with an unfortunate letter. Were a careful reconsideration possible when one finds that he must change the schedule he has studied out, the results might not be so bad. But a single closed course may shake things up so that the whole semester's work has to be selected new. This task can hardly be performed intelligently in the midst of enrollment congestion, and the student generally considers himself fortunate if he逃避s from the "pen" without more than one course which he does not want. Since the choice of courses plays such an important part in the student's attitude toward his work, and his success with it, it seems as if more enthusiasm might be placed on the careful planning of a schedule. The student should find an atmosphere calm enough to make deliberate decisions, instead of the distraction and mad scramble that makes thinking impossible. SHIP ACTIVITIES vs. SCHOLARSHIP The other day a professor was heard saying: "Oh, students in too much of a burry. They never do things thoroughly and accurately as students used to do. Too many students just 'get by.' This institution is being over-ridden by activities." Yes, it's the same old complaint. We have heard it almost daily. One day we hear someone say, "too many activities—not enough scholarship; the next hour or the next day we go into another class room and hear our instructor say, 'I want to avoid teaching too much subject matter, I believe that extra-curricular activities are necessary. The student must be trained in leadership." So there you have it; or rather you don't have it. It is a complicated problem, of course. It has been discussed most ardently, especially during this time of the youth movement. The trouble with the discussion and with the many solutions made, is that they are not done by persons who are in the center of the current. They are swimming on the outside of the circle. It stands to reason that they cannot "tea" as carnivally as the student now in college. Of course there are some few students who have given fairly open-minded solution, but in the main thought these discussions are a trifle biased. It is true that after one has finished a thing, has completed what he set out to do, he has a different perspective of that hit of experience. So it is with a student's life. He sees it differently, and perhaps understands it better, as he completes each year. Yet during those years he feels most keenly the idea that come into his experience, but he is unable to express these ideas in such a way that his discussion will appear unbound. In other words he is ten less his experience to see it clearly. If students, at least a few of the teachers, did not added to give their sincere opinion of the matter of "activities vs. scholarship" the answer would be something like the following: Yes, I am swamped. But three seems or way out. The pace is set for me and I must follow it. If I don't rest the 'dang' of 'gang' will call a 'stick' or a 'grind', according to the part of this college life that I neglect. I am always in a hurry. Outside readings, problems and experiments must be in on time. Dates and appointments must be kept. "I must not disappoint my parents or my organization. They, too, seem to believe that I must keep up the pace or else be an utter failure. I want a certain percent of everything, but I am not satisfied with the taste of such a mixture. If I give too much attention to activities I get kicked by instructors and by those who believe that the ultimate aim is high grades. If I pay too much attention to high grades I get razed by those interested in school politics, parties, publicities, and so on. "I have not time! The Utopia of my soul, I believe, in a place where I can do as I please, when I please, and take all the time that I please in doing that thing without being rushed by this demon popularly called, "college education." CROSS WORD PUZZLES AND THE QUEEN The cross word puzza was invaded England, and Queen Mary has taken up the partion of solving the problems furnished by the newspapers according to a recent news dispatch. Lessee members of the royal family also have acquired the mania and spared much time researching for elusive words. In older times such a pastime as the Queen* might have had a decided and far reaching effect upon the realm. It is easy to imagine the Queen, surrounded by Ladies in Waiting, trying calmly to call up a six letter word beginning with B and ending in D, meaning "to sever the head from the body." When the word finally was evolved, the Queen, no doubt, acting upon the suggestion might have carried it into effect. "Call the head executor!" she would have cried. "These women are not worth their keep. They didn't know a scriter word meaning to sever the head from the body." I'll teach them its meaning. The dipollate does not tell whether the King, in addition, helps to solve the problem. Perhaps they give him more pressure. Heaps he does not care for them. This being the case, how he must fume and fret when the Queen is late. He knows, without a doubt, that she is "At m'bm again." The maid's message that the Lady absolutely relieves herself when she finds the solution to vertical 31 and horizontal six would surely only add to his infirmation. Zound! The somester's windup is waxing near. Many an abuled alba will be again tortured into use. In dealing with alba the instructor and the student should use a great amount of enlation. The instructor might, to his credit make a study of that beautiful form of art which allows prize-fighters to retire gracefully after a defeat, and college students to pass courses without note-books. It would indeed be well and beautifully done if the University offered a course in "Selection of Alibis" for the benefit of its faculty. Even royalty is no longer safe from the commonplaces. ALIBIS If such a course were given faculty members would be able to put the stamp of con-acceptance on the "Grandmother's Funeral" albo. Without blinking an cycelish an instructor could coldly refuse to credit the state- mont "that he lost his note-book while helping a blind man across the street." Such a course would need to be comprehensive. It would be hard for the instructor to judge (exas as the pittance (a) whether the "Grandmother's Furaal" alibi was true or not, if the course fell down in the technical point of be-distinguishing. "Alibis true or untrue have a bad reputation," said Aesop as he discolled his class in Fabes. PROMINENT CHARACTERS The path of real glory has been overlocked by our prominent offenders. Not one of them doing his best for the nation, or his dawndent for himself, but would like to see his name perpetuated among the youth of the nation. Why not then the sure road? Let the youth name four prominent men. He begins, hastily, Coilidge, the Prince of Wales—stop! Let him give the names with which he is most familiar. He goes on and engages, now—Hooligan, Jiggs, Walt, Halfbroadfare, Uncle Huns. Of course; there you are! The most of our prominent men are found in the funny papers. On Other Hills About 900 girls took part in the gymnastium review presented to the department of physical education for women at the University of Olsa. It was the first gymnasium review in the history of the University, but the director intends to make it an annual affair. Such a display is a motion among departments of physical education in most universities. The feature of the program was "Zouave," a drill originated by the Zouve soldiers of France. Sixty four girls were included in the drill consisted of *Atoe* marcheshing, making seals and other figures. A new system of examinations has been adopted by Dr. Wurzer Brown, of the department of psychology at the University of California. One of the new methods requires the patient to answer a sentence complete. In many cases must choose among several alternatives. A third consists in giving Compulsory competition for all recreational truck men, with the aim of finding latent truck material, has been introduced in Dartmouth College. Men who have won "levets" or "cumulus" or who have played in the inter-class truck meets are not allowed to enter the races. According to Dr. Brown, this type of test gives the student more choice of questions, because more ground is covered in less time. He expires knowledge of a subject, rather than more ability to learn things. him a number of statements and asking him to tell of each, whether it is true or false. Ohio State University will distribute 7000 handballs, on which are printed five rules for better sportsmanship at basketball games, at their next game. These rules are on courtesy, fairness, smacking, and the right of the coach to do the coaching.
