A university may make stringent rules concerning unchaered parties, mid-week parties, and may make close investigation concerning "wild" or improper conduct of its students. orImpoverished. The wrong-doers are found and are suspended or expelled from the university as a means of punishment but if these calles can more likely take a train and the next day enroll in a sister school their punishment will accomplish no results. More "wild" parties will follow if it is easy to transfer schools at any time. No university should accept a candidate who is not in good standing at the school in which he was previously enrolled. The University of Kansas will undoubtedly refuse to accept to its student body exiles from other institutions. THE UNKNOWN QUANTITY The first r port of the spring corn crops comes from Babe Ruth at Hot Springs, Ark., where he trudges twenty-seven holes daily over two feet of large painful corns. Students who are not pursuing a course of study that leads directly to a professional career are often confronted with the question: "What are you going to do after you graduate?" and invariably their reply is, "I don't know." Surprise is then written over the countenance of the inquiver for he wonders how anyone could spend four or five years at a university without aiming at some definite profession. The questioner, no doubts, can conceive of no one pursuing knowledge for any purpose than its use in acquiring wealth. There is a fact that in part, at least, accounts for this point of view. For man, the years spent at college are lean years, years of scrimping and saving and watching every penny. So the time when they can get out and earn it to spy with which they can buy the things they have needed for so long, is looked upon as the Utopia of their dreams. Material wealth, like anything rare, may become extremely desirable to those who are denied the privileges it brings. The aiming at a certain vocational or professional career early in one's university course is a commendable thing especially when the probability of success is concerned. Such knowledge will make the climb to success less difficult. But the irony of it all is that success does not always bring happiness. The student he spends his time while in college with no definite plan in mind may be an unknown quantity. His chances for becoming wealthy are small. But perhaps he has gained a better understanding of his fellowmen—he has learned to live with people, and it's this that will better enable him to attain that elusive thing, happiness. Anyone who has delved into the best of literate history and art; who has been in close touch with the greatest thinkers of all ages through books and who has learned to live with people, has not spent his college years in vain Some are born resigned. Some acquire resignations and others have resignations thrust upon them. CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL A secret talk to any person is all right, if that secret contains no group or organization. Every day events take place in the group, likewise every day events take place in secret that offer interest to the public, likewise every day events take place in secret that interest to the group. They go on happening and the people suffer. Finally when the facts are revealed they have gone through a long process of culling and reviving. This man says "Please don't say anything about this" and that man says "Please don't say anything about that" until finally at talk all is to betray someone's confidence. Praise is given for the handling of the facts of a certain event, but it comes from the person who is benefited and not from the group. Robbie deed has been performed by "lying low," and the people talk in ignorance of the things behind the doors. The University is, and has been more successful in keeping the lid on tight than have other institutions but still things take place. Confidence is VON LUDENDORFF The compact formation of Prussian military legions rolled forward through the valley of the Somme. The dead formed the human bridge by which Germany secured her footing for military genius. A airstm military code tangled itself around the individuality of the Prussian spirit. The brain of Ludendorff called for the tactics of a Bismarck, and Germany withstood the charge of the world for four years. word for four days. The prince had been slain in Seinoea. War had swept down upon the earth, and the double eagle was a victor. The Somme passed, the Marne rent the heart strings of the desperate French, and Verdan was due to fail. There were parades in Berlin, as the victors accepted the applause of the population. Proud as a peacock, Von Dudenendorf reviewed the goose stepping millions. His iron cross was often in sight those days. Privates were willing to fall prostrate before him, for was he not leader of the great army? How they would have laughed if someone had hided that the mighty iron man would fall. Even the moldy skeletons would have clicked their fleshless jaws down there on the red stained fields of Fance. The man who imitated Bismark has fallen. Today he is on trial for treason. Treason is charged against the greatest patriot Germany knew in the bay-day of her army. The moulder of her deity on the field of strife took up arms against the people who worshipped at his feet in few years ago. A Faeciti riot in Bavaria, a dream of former power, and the inability to forget that little spark is needed to fling the world into bloodhed once more cost the former general dearly. It only goes to show the hopefully tangled state of Europe today. Where will it all come? Columbia *University* had better not permit Giovanni Papini to lecture there next summer for he might mention a few things that are wrong with America. The most cruel and cold hearted person in the world is the professor who will prevent a student from lowering his society mark from his capel lap to the front of his vest. --men, And watched young people breathing hard, It is predicted that the time will soon come when the ordinary term of life will be set at 100 years. The growing use of preventive medicine declares Dr. Lee K. Frankel, of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, is slowly bringing about a longer span of life. But why limit one's time here on earth to a century? The average verson would be an unwilling to die at the age of 103 as he is in 70. Probably many more persons now would reach a good old age if they did not prefer having all their enjoyment of life in a short time rather than stretch it out over a century. They act on the theory that it's not the number of years that count but what you get out of them WHO WANTS TO BE A CENTURY PLANT? Official Daily University Bulletin BERNA XI.
