Saturday, March 28, 1931 ' A Wholesome Campaign During the next four days University students will be treated to another vigorous campaign. Until last year poli tical conditions here necessitat ed much secrecy about the can didates and the parties. But last year a new system came into being and this year we have improvement on that. Meetings became open last year for the first time and by opening their meetings the par ties showed that despite politi cal reformers and such there was nothing about politics in which the average student could participate. Now we have even more not open politics than last year and this shows a nealthy improvement in. political condi tions here. All signs indicate a vigorous campaign. Such are good for the campus and stimulate great er activity along all lines. But such a campaign may work harm to the University if false issues are allowed to creep in and influence the voters. We must consider first of all the fact that Tuesday we select the men who will direct the activi ties of the campus for the com ing year and who will represent to the collegiate world the stu dent leaders of the University of North Carolina. That comes first; other issues may be con sidered later. With Contemporaries The sporting event of great est world interest at this mom ent is King Alfonso's effort to keep his crown on. Spring field Republican. We read that Portsmouth, Ohio, supplies more than half of America's spats. And Reno, Nevada, exploits them. Weston Leader. Lethargic Languidity Undergraduates, according to the testimony culled - from the editorial comments of the Wil liams Record, the Dartmouth, the Yale News, the Harvard Crimson, the Cornell Daily Sun, the Princetonian, and the Brown Herald are growing daily more apathetic about what has been the tradition heritage in student interests, sports, extra-curricular activities and class govern ment. The Princetonian main tains that this unloosed energy is being turned into channels of informal sport, explaining the rise in the popularity of tennis, squash, and golf. As far as we can see, at Pennsylvania it is be ing devoted chiefly to the con versational art and to attend ance at the cinema. Cornell editors complain of a dearth of editorial material for comment, stating parenthetical ly a maximum with which 'we heartily concur, that when the editor can scrape an item thin enough to find in it a subject for an editorial, he is distinctly bor ing. We have serious doubts as to our ability to engage and hold the interests of the student body a wTay from the more mundane interests of college life. If the student body has been satisfied with itself and its at titude throughout the year, we have not. Our, . two biggest subjects for comment in the past week have been the radical change in the athletic policy of the University which we have hailed with delight, and the rushing season which seems so upset by the divided organiza tion of the various fraternities. We have received only one let ter about the former and that from a sarcastic graduate; while no one in particular seems concerned about the patent vio lations of the code which applies to some and not to others but is executed by no authority. To develop public opinion among the undergraduates of the University, as in many others at the present time, is like attempting to goad a dead horse. In the end, your editors may be obliged to resort to sen sationalism, which of itself should be shunned as an easy cliche. .The question resolves itself to a matter of issues. No matter how we may take it upon ourselves to raise, the under graduate body will fail to react to them. We have pointed out before how lifeless various organiza tions are on the campus. We welcome suggestions as to ways and means that flagging zeal may be stimulated. The Penn- sylvanian. Colgate Falls Flat The Colgate Plan, which is ad vocated by Dr. George Cutten, president of the university, is to have athletic as well as extra curricular achievements count for credits in the earning of a Bachelor of Arts degree. By supporting and encouraging this movement, Dr. Cutten joins the ranks of contemporary educa tional reformers, the,most prom inent being Dr. Alexander Meik lejohn whose experimental col lege at Madison, Wisconsin, is causing vigorous comment in educational circles. If this unique and revolution ary plan is put into operation, the college intellectual of the future will be judged to a sharp er degree by the breadth of his shoulders rather than by the height of his forehead. Dr. Cut ten holds that an athlete is more deserving of an A.B. than jthe average student and points out that the undergraduate passes most of his time in laboratories or poring over books instead of spending a considerable" portion of his time in extra-curricular activities. In short, Dr. Cutten believes that the academic side of col lege life is highly overempha sized. At least this point of view has the piquancy that goes with novelty. While we look back upon extra-curricular activity with fond recollections, our actual partici pation in it is not exactly pleas ant. Hard work. Continuous work. But fortunately our as piration of the ultimate end out weighs the current unpleasant ness of the job. If these jobs were prerequisites of an A.B. de gree, they would become irk some, specialized, stereotyped. As more students enrolled injthis type of activity, rigid stand ards of work would be set which would stifle the individual and original efforts on the part of the student to come out on top. The Colgate Plan, which is in direct opposition to the noble movement at the University of Pennsylvania, not only catalyzes commercialism in athletics but also, and to a more displeasing degree, makes the racket of sub sidizing certain brawny men more within the law. Daily Dartmouth. Democracy and Science, Politics vs. Education. By Glenn Frank ( President of University of, Wisconsin and Famous Editor.) As president of a state univer sity, I have the privilege of be ing stationed at one of the most interesting listening posts in American democracy. This is a year of economic stringency. This is a year when State legislative sessions- are under way. : And the reaction of State legislatures to State universities will this year be an acid test of American democracy. It will be interesting and illu minating to watch what happens when the State legislatures, in a year of economic stringency, deal with the State university budgets. ; - The universities, in a spirit of sportsmanship, should re assess themselves and ask the taxpayer for nothing that is not essential, taking advantage of a stringent time to make a bonfire of anything that smacks of the obsolete in their programs. This will be a test alike of their sportsmanship and of their statesmanship. If they meet this test of sportsmanship and statesman ship, then the field will be cleared for a very real test of the social insight of the legis latures. I have before me, as I write, clippings from a dozen States in whidh the early reactions of State legislatures to State uni versities are recorded, and I find such reactions as the fol lowing: Outcries against salaries that seem to some legislators un justified. Outcries against research that seems to some legislators as simply the private luxury of professors who should be spend ing at least eight hours a day in the class room. Outcries against education in general because the money spent in other years on universities has not prevented the current economic stringency and usher ed in Utopia. ' The fact is that nowhere in the nation, are the salaries, of teachers high enough to attract an adequate number of superior men into the teaching profes sion. The fact is that hidden away in the research laboratories of one of these State universities may be the man or men who will before long emancipate the race from the scourge of cancer. The fact is that the universi- II a n SiientiFadts -thy Arnold t if i N " .'Hi Rpl INEFFICIENCy PLUS A SrEAH WHISTLE MAY 1UVE THE POWER.

Nothing will give us a better insight into the capacity of democracy to run the modern world than a careful watching of what State legislatures do with State universities this winter. lewar k, N. J. Ledger. The Argo's Experiment About four months ago we saw a white-sailed Argo coming over the Jiorizon. Because we are but a small port, and be cause we were already served by a tried old vessel; there were some misgivings at the time. Stimulating as competition may be, it is sometimes equally de structive : and so it is not en tirely with regret that we now see the Argo veer about and dis appear in the blue. However, our motives for op posing the introduction of another publication were in no sense critical estimates of any particular feature of the new magazine. Nor were we under any false impressions as to the Campus need for a revival of interest in literature in general, and more particularly, in that KODAlL Gets the Picture VVTITH genuine Kodak Film in v your camera you can be sure that every exposure will give you the best possible picture that the existing conditions will permit.

While wTe looked askance at the new publication on grounds of policy, once it arrived there was no denying the merit of its con tents or the singular competence of its editors and contributors. Theirs was a really praise worthy contribution to campus life. In their first issue, they renounced prejudice and dog matism, fads and pseudo-sophistication, and set out to give voice to the spirited enthusiasms of youth. This, however, was obviously no more . than The Nassau Lit, in its revitalized form, hoped to do. It seemed to us that a division of undergra duate talent could be of no ad vantage to either group, and only of detriment to both. - -: Whatever led to the discon tinuance of the Argo, it was not, we feel sure, the disinterest of the founders. Accordingly, it is our opinion that the Lit is a perfectly suitable vehicle for carrying on the aims and ideals thus far observed in the lately interred review. If such talent as responded to the call of the Argo vould now interest, itself in the Lit as a means of fur thering the best thought and taste of this rising generation, it would do much to increase the' interest of the Campus in its own literary products and to justify-the Argofs experiment.
