s the esse following die compteiion af a period of
, the editor and monbers of the staff wonder if the*
e been successful in meeting the aims for which they strived.
Bur mote than that, the members of the waff look forward
so the coenmg temester and concern themselves with the task of
creadng a new and better policy We, who must decide these un
ponant questioris, shall not re)ect entirely the program outlined
at the beginning of the present semester Instead, we shall for
mutate new idea* and integrate them with rhe old one to form a
new and stronger foundation
But there are certain marten which arise that cannot be de-
utfed by the members of the staff. Would it be advisable to keep
the three existing columns in ihe next paper? Or should only
oar ot two of them be kept? Do you. the students, appreciate
editorials which are based upon statistics concerning controversial
tajbaecn of national and universal character; or would you rather
that we would stick to topics which do not require so much prep
■ration, yet which are about subjects around and about the cam-
ZJke -Spectator
ad Absurdum
And how about special articles? At the beginning of the se-
iiaestef there were indeed few members of the staff with any
special talents. Now, the freshmen and new additions to the
toff have gained that experience which is necessarily a prereq-
tsisire to good fournalism. Several of them have reached ihe point
where their writings show remarkable ability along certain lines.
Should there be more special features? Or none at all ?
Perhaps the most widely discussed question is that of what
makes s college newspaper. Should wc cater more rowards the
silly, tnvtal atrinides of high.school papers, or should we try
to imitate a'full grown newspaper in every way possible* Lower
divisions students tend to praise the fosrner. and upper divisions
iiudents, and graduates lean more towards the Utter.
Tbe answers to these questions and others cannot entirely be
made by the editor and his staff. We must have YOUR opinion
If possible, we would even like to have you as a member of the
staff. Your opinions need not necessarily be written, although
it would be ptefered that way. It is lai better to come in and tell
us what you think than to say nothing at all.

The Coin Soldiers
Again, this year, ibe March of Dimes is being sponsored in
an effort to collect funds for combatting infantile paralysis
This is a project worthy of the support of every student and
faculty member on the campus
Every year thousands are crippled by the paralysti of this
dreaded disease Each year many of these thousands are aided
* by the infantile paralysis foundation whose main support comes
from the March of Dimes
Infantile paralysis hat long been a disease to be dreaded
t*ew sciemific'mtrthods of cure and prevention have helped,
reduce its potency. But unless continued belp from the people
pj s whole is forthcoming, infantile paralysis may again gam
t foothold and ravage thousands of men, women and children
In a nation at war, the health of the nation n a vital factor
The sick or siddy cannot fight or support the lighten. It is
ihe duty of every American to do hit pan in maintaining the
health of the nation.
All that is asked of every person on campus is a dime or
is many dimes as he can afford. It is not too much m ask. Every
tmtne eVxtsted to tbe March of Dunes will be sent marching
•am rhe: battle against infantile paralysis—The Coin Soldiers

w*   had   be*t   consutamste  our   career  by   touching
ipon thla abetruee subject with tb* utmost austerity
A   DISSeHTATION   ON   HEALTH   AND   MOBAL*
A   moef,  lnt*r**tlng  book  concerning  th* fer*.
m*ntlen*d  aubject  haa  recently  eome  lot* out
hen**. It 1* *r>tltl*d Search Light L*tt*r* end le
by en* Bebert Orant. Me. Brant haa certain rigid
id*.I. dialing with human rvlatlenehla*. In****,
as it ehell a* pointed out preeentiy, th*** i#**l«
may be eeneiaafad e bit odd in theee time*, All***
u* to preeeert an abetrect et the first tw* pages
of thle beeh,
"I shall assume certain thing* to begin with If you
are a young woman, 1 shall assume tbat yeu don't
bear false witness egalnat your neighbor by telling
every unpleasant story to tbe first person tbat ye*
tbst you try to be unselfish, sympathetic, and
amiable In •pitta of everything; that you neither chew
gnm nor use pigments, that you do not treat young
men as demigod* before whom you must abeee your
self In order to become exalted.
"If yeu are a young man, i siHall aeeum* that
yeu will net lie In order to eeeape the eenee-
sju*ne*t ef your own er other*' action*; that yeu
do not uee a knlf* t* carry food te your meuth;
that yeu do net aay 'how.' for 'Why-?', a** that
yeu do net hold th* young lady whe yeu are
courting by the croak of her elbow en* aheve
her along the street a* If ehe w*r* a nerambu-
l*t*r."
To begin * book concerning auch a bigbly reactionary aubject with auch trite and humoroua pleas
antrlee In tbeee time* la truly amaslng' If these ar*
tbe things wblcb Sir Orant aaaumea al the begin
nlng of the book, one can Imagine the deduction*
reached at tbe climax ... But perhaps It Is ealy
fair that we tell you. Tb* book was net written
within tbe present age It wa* written In the year
elgbleen  hundred and  ninety nine'
What a change haa taken place *lnc* thla book
waa writ tee! A quick look about th* campua by
Mr. Graft In thi* age would n* doubt melt* him
into cadence* of hldeou* laughter. Let'a de e lit.
.tie looking ourselves, huh, kids? HummmmmmmT
First of all we eee eeme tsSeutleu* dell swing
Ing around th* corner, headed for wharever ah*
I* headed, (Urteheperen**!) Her fee* ie be-

deception.)

Anothar dlacrapancy i* also netlceabl*. From
en* corner ef her mouth, and dangling In a

How Mr. Orant'a fac* would burn at th* eight
ef thetl "Young man," h* would say." is that
sort ef thing prevalent among th* rank and
III*  ef yeung  womanhood?"
And in order to be perlectly truthful, we would be
forced to answer In  the affirmative.  In fact, using
vernacular, we shall quote a certain freehme*
n we happened to hear comment upon the sab
"Well, bub, I'll tell ye   Only about thirty per
of tbe  women  smoke,   but   tb*  other  sereety
percent aren'l  so cold either?"—A   most  despicable
ale of affslrs
But, yeu aay, hew about th* m*nf Surely they
have changed toe. And yeu would be right In aa

B aB ***** about when Miss Mesple calling tb*
■chnol to get la touch with bar brother, merely aaked
far the president** office Tbe girl al tbe awltcb-
board, upon heating the party dealred, connected her
with tbe only president around school that occurred
to her at the soometit.
Hello, the preeldeef a eft lee," anew* re* a feminine voice. Net occurring to Ml** Meeple, a* in
th* cao* ef th* operator, that sbe didn't heve the
•flic* ah* de*ir*d, eh* lmm*dlat*ly begen, "Hello,
ie frank theref "Well," h**it*t*d th* v*l«* et
the ether end, temporarily eurpri**d by th* fa
mlllarity ef her celler, "He's net In."
"Well, itep Into tb* coed lounge. He* probably
fooling around In there."
"I'm mire Be wouldn't be. Dr Thomas le out of
tow* tbla week."
There waa a abort pause and the other voice
apologised. "Ob! I'm terribly sorry; I must have the
wrong office I waa calling Prank Mesple. tba student body preeldent."
Th* big int.r..iud*nt eeciel affair ef the week
wee s g*lns>*wBy party for (I ahould llva ee
long that they ahould get him) htlekey Wed*. Te
forbear the peailbllity ef repertmeth* doing* In
a manner that would drag m* dotes te the level
ef a eeelel editor, may I aay simply that It waa
a etag affair with about SO fallows preeent.   •
Highlight* of the evening waa Ibe dramatic scene
wherein one at th* top boys, having his pants relied
up lo his krseea aad atilrt tail flowing affected a manner which Incurred tbe enemlty of eome agalnet htm.
Just aa they were about to eloae In on Urn. a vole*
tram across th* populous room celled eet: "That's
my roomy you're tampering wltb. Just touch htm and
you've got me te whip." Aa tbe speaker waa a man
ot no mean physical prowess, his thunderous ultimatum rauied tbe mob I* be qui led for a moment.
Then wttb every eye following blm aa be stealthily,
but not without understandable pedal deviation*, he
betook himself ever to him who had raised a voles
tn Ms behalf
"Lookle be re, bud," he aald with eiprwasioa of
pained pride "I can light my own ba tiles" This
caused, ao much hilarity that tbe Incident waa forgotten; ^
Tt'.: ethst Incident occurrid when Herkimer,
"thi- man whe bring* th* coal," taking th* wrong
exit, from th* b*a*m*nt ef Ail FteaeeUr1* home,
whet* the party wa* h«ld, get ieet In th* neighbor** vineyard, and It wae eomtrtim* before he
again wandered back te the gr**>p.
Tough! Den
After having cbaied all over town in search of
Duke Ellington, and Just mlaalng him at every turn,
finally having eluded Ibe "Duke's" secretary, finally
nailed him backatage at Intermission al the Memorial
Auditorium.
Aft*r having giv*n him a Uegthy "song and
danc*" t* the *fT*ct that h* felt Ellington should
glv* Freeno Stat* a plug, er something, th*
Duke haughtily surveyed Don and almpty etaWd:
"Ah'e tardl" and turned en hla heel.
