ATHLETIC-DRIVEN POLITICS
Hill politicians will soon begin to line up in their minds prospective candidates for coming spring elections. Whil they be?
The athlete comes first, for he is well known and will pull the votes for his party. The athlete is not more fit to represent his group than is the non-athletic student. It is political victory that is desired, not an efficient student government.
The University loves and honors her athletes for the loyalty they show upon the court or field. The athlete who is busy in the political life of the campus, strive as he may to maintain a scholastic standard, may come up at the time of a contest, unable to participate because of his grades. If there not some way to remedy this evil that year by year is becoming noticeable? Neither political party will eliminate the athlete from its ticket for fear that the opponent will not do so. It is for the athletic department to be the world. The man who takes active part in politics should not remain cligible for athletics. The demand of the two activities is too great upon the indi
Two common observations of today are: A boy may be a regular photograph of his father, and a girl may be a regular photograph of her mother.
WHAT ARE YOU WORTH?
The net material value of an average human being is ninety-eight cents, according to an analytical research made by the chemistry department of a Texas college.
It was found that the body of a man weighing 150 pounds, if divided into its component chemical elements, would be found to contain enough water to wash a pair of blankets, enough iron to make a ten-penny nail, lime sufficient to whitewash a small chicken coop and enough sulphur to kill the fleas on a good-sized dog. All these elements, it was estimated could be purchased at a drug store for ninety-six cents.
This discovery should serve as a consolation to us. For when our parents insinuate that we don't amount to much, and our professors make us feel we aren't worth anything, and when we've spent our last dime, let us be consolid in thinking we're always worth ninety-eight cents.
"In and Out of College" has been suggested as the title for a student's autobiography.
You have heard of the face that only a mother could love. And you have also taken the course that only the instructor could love.
TO THE POINT
When you have a thing to say,
Say it. You don't take half a day.
Where your take's little in it.
Cream the whole blended vape-
fitting vapor—
Don't you fill the whole blended paper
With a tate which at a pinch,
Could be curved in an inkh!
Can't be curved in a carmine;
Polish her also until膏料;
When you have a thing to say,
Say it. You don't take half a day.
BURIED TREASURE
Buried treasure on the campus?
A half-dog boy scouts were hunting for it Saturday, carefully following the trail described in a cryptic note on the church door to which they had been directed. The boys were up early, roaming sleepy parents almost before daylight, and the sturdily figures could be trailing over the hill before the first student made his way to the library.
They were disappointed; a good many of them may not have been clear, or they may not have followed them so carefully. At any rate, they were home feeling a little disheartened a little disheartened a little disheartened "But, oh boy," it was lots of fun looking", and they smile reminiscently as they recall the romantic thrill of the search.
Every day some four thousand students cross the campus, searching—well, not for buried treasure, of course, but for something. They may not be sure just what, and like the boy scouts, they may be disappointed in their search, but after all the following of the trail is almost its own reward.
The Democratic party accustomed to wrestling with difficult problems is now trying to take a "Fall" out of politics.
MORE PROFESSORS
The department of philosophy makes it its particular business, as does no other department of the University, to develop a broader outlook on life, a more rational system of thinking, and a higher sense of duty to self and to follow men among the students enrolled in its courses.
To this department come students, conscientious in their search for mental perspective and breadth, clarity of thought, and a well-founded sense of justice. They enroll in the elementary courses in logic and ethics, and often carry their study of these subjects into classes which treat of them more thoroughly.
But for each of these elementary courses, important and valuable as they are, there is but one class a semester, and because of the great number of students deserving these courses, classes of 150 or more for each instructor inevitably result. From such conditions reports arise to the effect that these are "snap" courses, and the classes are swamped by a number of inimicre, credit-sucking vandals, who rob those students who really desire a knowledge of the subject of what little chances they might previously have had for individual attention and discussion.
The situation is immeasurable, but it cannot be improved by excluding freshmen and seniors from the classes, or by skipping through the courses superficially and at random. The department needs more instructors and more classes, and until it gets them it is going to be the deapair of the conscientious student.
About all some students join in in the class room is the laughter.
Campus Opinion
The course this year seems to be well patronized. The concerts have been of the highest quality and, to our knowledge, are one of the few. However, there seems to be some possibility of improvement in the presentation of the artists. Perhaps the small details referred to are more important than the appreciation of art for art's sake, supposed to be stimulated beyond the possibility of a chance cognition of art or even an understanding of the concerts during this season, practically the entire audience not only voiced but caught its dissatisfaction with the improper ventilation. Given that I think the little bills have less squeaking, coughing and rattling—and more music.
To the Editor of the Kauai
Would it be rude to suggest that
the artists present University
concert course pay a little more
attention to some of the details in
connection with the concerts in Robinson
andortium? Squinky chairs for the
artists, sound systems and layers, platform decorations obstructing the view of the artists,
poor ventilation, should be attended
to by the master of ceremonies or his assistant. These little details are
objectionable to the artist and to the audience.
