MONDAY, APRIL 1. 1924 A new rose has just been name for Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. If the habit of naming things for prominent people continues, we suppose Daughter cookery oil will soon appear on the market. He has cooked things, all right. FOOLS TO THE FORE Back in the days when inducing a guiltless friend to sit on a tack was considered the caseness of subtle humor, All Fools Day is great sport. You could feed people candy deped with quinine, jerk dek purse up on the sidewalk as passers stopped to pick them up; you could even call the fire department out on a false alarm. Most people think that growing up rather equals the fun of April 1st, but that's just because they don't see the striking likeness of current humor to that of childhood. We may not sit on tacks, it's true, but we are pricked just as sharply and just as unexpectedly by surprise quizzes administered by our playful profs. The Veterans' Bureau as managed by Mr. Forbes was a good deal. Like quinine-candy, and the Teapot Dot investigation has caused faith in public to go wildling away from the American people much in the way that the deoxy purpus slipped out of reach. And as for calling out the fire department on a false alarm—what about Hill elections. READERS OF AMERICA The American Legion in its campaign to beautify the highways from coast to coast by planting trees along the roads might mean its allusion "A tree in front of every signboard." We are the greatest readers among the nations. Everybody in America —from the messenger boy to the corporation president. A journey is measured by discarded newspapers and magnazines. Fifteen minutes on a trailley-car without something to read has become a horror. We read so much that the publishers who do not expect us to think of what we are reading, crowd their magazines with explanatory illustrations in order to save us from embarrassment. This hunger and thirst for the printed page has resulted in a flood of writing that is good, but not too literary; clever but not too wity; emphatic but not too serious; lest the intelligent reader have to waste his reading time in thinking. It has come about that while we are the greatest readers in the world, we are also the worst. We read too much to read intelligently. So long as this can be said of the intelligent, educated men and women who determine true popularity, good writing in America will come only by accident. In our society it is the college graduates who must make the soil for literature. Are they reading better books than men or women who have never been to college? Are they asking that their fiction shall be truer, that their plays more dramatic, and their articles more intelligent than all that is purveyed for those without a degree? In some measure, yes; in the proper measure, emphatically no. And the reason is that the college graduate, while in college, was too busy with other things to acquire in intellectual interests. In preparation for law and other professionals generally he passes through a period of higher training when thinking is forced upon him. But when it comes to reading or pleasure there is no compulsion. If he was lazypinned in studying in college, he will be ladier in his reading afterwards. If he was content with a sixty per cent efficiency he will scarcely seek a higher ratio of appreciation when there is only his own pleasure to consult. And how can a really rate-rate newspaper run for a man who does not care to comprehend more than sixty per cent Every modern nation depends upon its schools and universities—not to create literature for genius has never required a degree, but to spread that intelligence by whose warmth good books ripe into literature. We shall be willing and able to appreciate a distinctive literature when our education arrives intellectual interests as well as train character and discipline the mind. And this will happen when, among other things, boys and girls realize that they are sent to college to become intelligent. The Bowersock management is requests that patrons to the "Hunl back of Notre Dame" arrive on time in order not to miss the kickoff. Only a college student, away from home for the first time can appreciate the rare significance of "My laundry didn't come." BABES AND GROWN-UPS The Persian shi'ar of state has launched forth into troubled waters under the guidance of a two-year old infant. The abuse, hatred, and graft of Astatic politics fall upon extremely narrow shoulders. The new shah's father was not considered fit to rule the land, so, in their blindness the parliament decided that his son should do better. He will hold a wicked milk bottle over the heads of his subjects. His orders will eo out over the land, while his majesty quietly plays with his little pink toes. Boarded lackyces with moving shoes will fall to their knees, and present the official documents to knen-seared fingers for the royal sanction. Ministers will turn away the visiarse princess with the warning that, "his majesty is now cutting his teeth." All this seems funny to those who have lived their lives in a republic. But are we any better off in the long run? Most decidedly we are, although some of our grown up officials are not much better than the young shab. While he swears a rattle, our heroes whitewash each other's character with muck. They plunge into the public treasury with the abandon with which the young man plunges into his bath of perfume. Then they take fifteen minutes off to make fun of Persia's new ruler. Vote! Every student, as a citizen of this small hill community, is obligated by that citizenship to cast his ballot in the coming elections. A DUTY Even though there are many who scuff at the style of politics which is prevalent on the hill they should not fail to participate in events until they can change the order of things. To be indifferent to University politics is a dangerous thing. It establishes an attitude which is very liable to stay with one after the school days are over—and then it is the time above all others when active citizenship is needed. Take part in politics now. Do your duty—cast that ballot. LES SILHOUETTES th laughing face and gleaming hand. The young brown-throated reapers pass. And, overhead the curlew cry, Where through the dusky upload grass. The sea is fleeked with barns of grey The dull dead wind is out of tune, And like a withered leaf the moon Is blown across the stormy bay. Etched clear upon the pallid and Lies the black boat; a sailor boy Clambers aboard in carolless joy With laughing face and gleaming Like silhouettes against the sky. —OSCAR WILDE Campus Opinto That Sporting Instructor College athletes bring out the cries for clean playing and true sportmanship. The students in a the others are playing both and have been drilled into these very year to another. Then the whole of the good work is undone and thoroughly destroys by some weird processes in the minds of most peculiar instructors. Once a class was given to students, most of them funked. No kick comings they just missed out and that all there was to it. Another assignment was made. Next time the class met a quiz was repeated on the board with considered depth and past, the second assignment was not mentioned. Several students left the room without bothering to turn papers. Other students submitted to the class with kicks barred to a destructive manner. ficial Daily University Bulletin Maybe the instructor was playing fair but it seems to be mighty far from a square deal. One needs a camera mind in order to remember fully on the arm of the moment all the readings received in some courses. And the part is that too many instructors fail to realize that ninety one percent of the students don't have that type of mind. And they pile on. At the regular meeting of the Bacteriology Club at 7:15 Wednesday evening, April 2, Doctor Lane will speak on "Evolution." BACTERIOLOGY CLUB; Suggestions are invited from students and others who are interested in the simplification of social regulations. The committee will meet at 10 a.clock Saturday morning, April 5, in the rest room of the Administration building. JOINT COMMITTEE ON STUDENT AFFAIRS: Copy received at the Chancellor's Office until 11:00 a.m. Monday, April 1, 2014 Nov 142 Reading they而 they forget that there are dozens of other instructors assuring the same attitude and piling on the readings also. Just where the student is supposed to come out is rather puzzling. JOHN R. DYER, Chairman. At the present rate he surely is headed for the little end of the horn. Just an even break is all that is wanted. Red and Blue Enamel A motion, picture of several thousand feet describing the student activities at Northwestern University, has been completed.

"Jake" Engle At the head of the team “Clarke” Engle. As a member of the present Council, gentleman, he has the goods. Engle is familiar with student affairs he knows how they should be curriculum with efficiency and maximum value. Jack is running on the Pacachaire ticket, and that is the point which makes it a certainty that he will be (or the students all the time). He will be able to go in office. The platform of Pacachaire is no set of rules set up for the moment that is intended to be dropped. It was announced in previous campaigns, and will be the standard in most universities now. None nonexistent are not empty phrases. THE TICKET we point to our record as ample proof of the statement, J. B. Engle as president of the student council will realize his responsibilities to every student, and will merit your approval by his conduct in office. In brief form, the Pachacumec ticket is published below for the consideration of the students. The qualification set down as fully as we could in consideration of the space we are allowed for the News. Compare the qualif- President ... J. B. Engle First Vice President ...

Rumer, the fastest thing that ever run a truck team to shame, has it at the hour of the early morning that sees the birth of this news, that some five or six men from the Black Mask have not run "run". Be that as it may, and notwithstanding, nevertheless however, as the Laws say, some four warriors of Pacchacama have decided that their studies are more in danger than they should be, and with past experiences in similar past time of hitting the ball. Say, folks, wouldn't that be the otf stuff-to-shoot a few flunks the book? No. That's a hint of giving a passing grade. That's the beauty of it. By all means. The ticket of Pachacamac, revised and as strong as it ever was, is published in full in the next column of the News. It is with a great grief that the editor of the News attends with bowed head the funeral of some famous martyrs in this balsa the interment of some prospects in the adjoining necromant, but the new relay team, gentlemen and indie fair, is on the starting mark At Urkrain not long ago the means caught McCoy, raid steeper though be in, but this eligibility team, seem to be the record-binders, and if they are the team the four les College our four cents goes on the "Grades." Is this grading of the profa a serious thing? If it is, we've got a lot to say. Yeah, plenty, Josephine. But if it is intended to be a joke, we want to know it, so we can laugh with our friends in the field by marking. We remember that Milt Cummings rose to his feet and ascended the platform in Robinson gym a couple of years ago, and laid the same plan before the howling moll. Milt had a way of jumping along on the carpet and banging the old list on the stand, that was effaceful. And he felt the meeting in disorder ranks. Regardless of the laws of Frosty Flea and P. Connor, the hope has been expressed from a few of the non-conformists that there be a good hard rain before the elections come off. Why, we don't know, but Dumb Danny said today that he thought he had the idea. Dan claims that rain makes mud, and he declares with vigor that he has had all the "groundwork" in the throwing of water for his watties at a rest. There are a set of guys like Danny that can "throw it with the rest of 'em." FOR CHEERLEADER Harold "Bob" Roberts Bob Roberts is the *man* for the position, and if he don't bring that thundering four thousand out of their seats no one can. His qualifications are unquestioned. His ability is one hundred per cent. Roberts will knock 'em dead. A tireless worker, loving the spirit of sport, and fairly radiating energy, has no challenge is necessary, for no one disputes the fact that he doesn't need a lowerry announcement to make his candidacy strong. Bob is "right." This stirring scene is *less* familiar to all—Roberts in action. For cheerier, as we see the right, we want a man that can lead cheers. It seems to me more appropriate. let's chase the faculty to the timber. They don't know anything anyway— that is they don't know near as much as the students. Oh, bibby! And say—while we're grading the profs why not pass a law that hereafter all of these here so-called instructors be compelle dto wear a special sort of insignia or costume so we'd know when it was a proof? The trouble is now that with the way things are going they are getting what they want. Looked keen near human. What's more, Angeley, they act human. How can a studt till if we is talking to a fellow-stude or only to a "tyrant?" We gotta regulate this thing somehow, and if we don't do it soon things may get worse. Now that we are all together to grade these birds and show them where they belong, let's move them really really and to a kimoa or skill-cap or something so we can tell the profs for sure just where to stop off. A big student reminacing caunis will be the thing to get it across. Here's another idea for your consideration. If the grading and the segregation of the profs don't work. you can't have all the students wear long masks and yellow slickers, so he faculty couldn't recognize us. Then, by gosh, a guy could speak right out when he met a prof, and could still him anything, and do our cats if they could do anything about it! Does that's not a good idea, huh? Announcements Through an oversight, the name of George Rose was left off of the senior team. The chaplainess party in the first News, our apology is tendered herewethere. The Black Mask rally comes off tonight, at Myers Hall, as advertised. Pachacamac wishes to call on all students of both sides to get out and help make this affair a roaring success. To the student who has never been a political pow-wow you can state that you worth your time to attend tonight. And while we're on the subject—another gathering, of a slightly different night, breaks tomorrow night. Same place. Pachacamac promises to eclipse the last one, which holds the record. Enough said. Be there, and bring your friends. Black Masks invited one and all.
