The first quote Prof. WycoflF again “some 1,100 plays (two studied each day would mean enough reading for nearly two years) as well as almost innumerable vol umes of other contemporary Eliz abethan literature and contem porary and subsequent criticism and comment. Then when he re ceives his doctor of philosophy degree, he is ready to begin doing serious work in research and scholarship.” BUILDING OR CLIMBING FOR AN IDEAL The Wednesday morning chapel talks which Miss McDowell has given recently on “Building or Climbing for An Ideal,” have been extremely stimulating and help ful. Miss McDowell cleverly illu strated her points by the use of a ladder. At the foot of this lad der is written, “I want, I want, I want.” To this ladder of success fifteen rounds are found. First: A girl must have the same attributes which a boy has; that is, she must be loyal, friend ly, and scholarly. Second: The girl must have re sponsibility from a social point of view, as to her standards of thought and action. Third: She must have a definite aim. Fourth: It is essential that the girl mount through sincerity, clear-mindedness and personal at tractiveness. Fifth: The girl must have abi lity to get along with people, to lead and organize, and to follow directions. Sixth: She must be accurate in all things. Seventh: She must not be self- centered, but cheerful and cour teous. Eighth: The girl must have common-sense. She must exercise good judgment. Ninth: It is necessary that she be fair, and just. Tenth: She must have an ideal of service; she must be useful and honest. Eleventh: She must have an ul- timated imagination. Twelfth: She must be imitative to some extent. Thirteenth: She must have pa tience and perseverance. Fourteenth: She must be prompt and punctual. Lastly, upon reaching the fifth- teenth round, we are astonished at first to hear that the girl must be selfish; that is, she must have self-control, self-respect, and self- knowledge. At the close of these splendid lecture, we truly believe that each girl goes away feeling that she really wants to climb this grreat ladder of success so that she may attain these ideals. THE BENEFITS IN BEING “CAMPUSED” Are there any benefits in being “campused”? Well, I should say there are. Before I was “cam pused”, I went uptown every day, and I was usually in a rush to get my lessons prepared. Since I’ve been campused. I’ve had all the time there is! I use that time in preparing my lessons and I don’t see now, how I could have wasted so much as I did. “Vantage num ber one,” as the Elephant’s Child said. By staying from upto-wn, I save money, for I am not tempted into buying the candy and drinks that I usually bought when I went up town. “ ‘Vantage number two.” Furthermore people are sorry for me because I cannot go uptown, so they bring me candies and drinks. “ ‘Vantage number three.” Then every Saturday, I get a nice box from home to last over the week-end — although it doesn’t usually last quite that long. I can’t go home for two weeks now, but when I get there, won’t I be glad? Much gladder than if I could have gone sooner, and that’s “ ‘Vantage number four.” (The Elephant’s Child found on ly three). Although it sounds pretty bad to say that I am “campused”, I am enjoying every minute of it, and I shall always feel that it has done me lots and lots of good. * EXCHANGES * ********* Governmental Problemi Student government at Grin- nell College is going to remain solvent even if the governing board itself wishes to vacate in favor of the faculty. A liquor case involving six students was presented to the under-graduate court for solution. After long deliberation the judges concluded that there was insuffleienl ground for expulsion, but enough evi dence to call for punishment less severe. Accordingly, they wil lingly delivered the case into fa culty hands and promised to sup port any decision returned. The faculty recommended suspension. Thereupon a student protest meeting was called, and objection made to the faculty as an abroga tion of the rights of student gov ernment. This, despite the stu dent court’s admission that it alone was responsible for deliver ing the case to the faculty. But the protesting students insisted th^t if student government is to be kept alive, it must sustain its own dignity. So the faculty gra ciously returned the case to the student court, where at last re port, the judges were deeply en gaged in examining the case. President J. H. T. Main announc ed himself fully confident that the students could manage their own affairs. Blame the Faculty By vote of 482 to 36, stu dents of Louisiana State Univer sity declared their honor system a failure. Opinion was equally divided on the establishment of faculty proctorship. Much of the comment -written onto the ballots indicated that faculty suspicion was in part, at laest, held respon sible for the collapse of the hon or system. Retirement “I am seventy years old and it is time to go on the shelf.” In this manner Dr. Frank John son Goodrow, president of Johns Hopkins University, explained his resignation. Dr. Goodnow is dis tinguished not only because he is not going to -write a book after retirement, but mainly for his scholastic devotion which has made Johns Hopkins outstanding for its graduate work. Unscientific Radcliffe students confine their scholarly interest mainly to Eng land and the literatures, slighting altogther such science courses as geology and astronomy, the dean’s survey has indicated. Romance languages, history, and the fine arts are also well patronized, and anthropology and the bio-chemical sciences are winning a few follow ers, but chemistry and physics are losing theirs, making for general defeat all along the science line. Almost Drastic An excellent news story—but an inaccurate one-^-excited the university world last week by an nouncing that the University of Wisconsin would drop, at the end For Provincialism Lake Forest, 111.—While an oc casional editor now is kept busy trying to explain to a critical communicant why the college pa per limits itself to campus hap penings, the editor of “The Sten- tor” of Lake Forest college, has tried to explain to the student council why he doesn’t restrict his paper to the campus exclusively. The editor, Fred GJnschmer, who gently ignored the council’s first summons to discuss the pa per’s policy, was informed that he is “only an appointee of the council and subject to its action.” As reported in “The Stentor”: “The council point of view waa epitomized by Mr. Macklin who stated that the students were not interested in literary and techni cal matters appearing in various columns; that more items of local interest should be covered; and that the news should be written down to the interest of the read ers. The Student Council further contended that not enough space was being devoted to important student activities, such as the Junior Prom, Athletic events, etc. In answer to these argu ments the editor pointed out the growing tendency in modern col leges to outgrow provincialism: that it is by far easier to fill up a paper with accounts of events with which every reader is al ready acquainted; that news ar ticles were purposedly condensed so as to get a wider range of sub jects; and that the students might voice their opinions in \eVmxa ap pearing in the paper. The Coun cil .however, contended that the school paper should be more a matter of record than of student opinion or comment.” The meeting ended in a dead lock, and “The Stentor” is stil! grazing in foreign pastures. Champion Cotton Man Honor Sickness Yale’s honor system may be abolished by a referendum to be held after the mid-year examina tions. The student council called for the vote after drawing up re solutions accusing the students of “failing to express in any appre ciable numbers their disapproval of cribbing.” It was also announced that the honor pledge, heretofore signed before each test and examination, would be abolished because “the separate pledge on each paper is no longer a deterrent to cribb ing.” The students are faced with the alternative of making their pledg es valid, returning to the faculty proctor system. Yale is not alone in her troub les. Almost every college in the country, now that examinations are at hand, is facing the same question, and numerous honor sys tems seemingly are facing their last charge.

Ellis Clayton, produced last season thirteen bales of 5,542 pounds of lint cotton on six and four-tenths acres. This, according to J. M. Gray of State College, is the lar gest yield on this acreage grown in the State in 1927. This is a yield of 866 pounds of lint cotton per acre and is 629 pounds over the state’s average yield for the year, according to Frank Parker, State Statistician. Mr. Ellis yesterday outlined outlined what he considered the major contributing factors to his success. He said, “I believe in planting cotton early and I be lieve in using good seed. I used Coker’s Cleveland Number Five; the length of staple in this cotton “pulled” one and one-sixteenth inches. “I attribute the hea-vy yield to early planting of good seed and the liberal side dressing with Ni trate of Soda,” Mr. Ellis stated. “It takes a fertilizer that works fast to get ahead of the boll weevil, but it is my experience that soda turns the trick. “I have heard a lot of talk about the Texas farmers putting us North Carolina farmers out of the cotton business, so I decided to keep an accurate record and see for myself what there was to it,” Mr. Ellis said. “When I planted my cotton I fertilized each acre with 500 pounds of Acid Phosphate, 100 pounds of Nitrate of Soda and 75 pounds of muriate of Potash. We used a dropper type of plant er and left two to three stalks in a hill. The hills were twenty- four inches apart. “After the cotton was chopped out and sided or when the plants had about six leaves, I side dress ed with 100 pounds of Nitrate of Soda. When the first squares ap peared, I applied another 100 pounds of Soda per acre,” Mr. Ellis said. “By this time the cot ton was putting on squares so fast the boll weevil couldn’t get them all.” Where Will She Drop the Hana aief?= ‘By Albert T.
