o College: Glamorous And Irritating
And, If You Watch Your Step, Fun
(Editor's Note: The following, written by John Ed Pearce, is re
printed from the Kentucky Kernel, student paper at the University
of Kentucky. We feel that it is one of the best editorials ever writ
ten by a college journalist, and urge everyone to read it.)
September is a thrilling month. Besides being the month of my
birth, the first leg of fall, and the opening of the lootoaii season, u
is also notable because it ushers in that most glamorous, exciting,
worthwhile and irritating of all vocations, avocations and recrea
tions, going to college.
Lots of people go to gollege, and that is good, since it makes for a
better world, greater democracy, football teams, and fraternity
graft. But about one third of all these who go to college are fresh
men, and that is bad.
It is bad because freshmen are bad. Freshmen boys are usually
either of the homesick-f or-the-farm type, or of the here-I-am-boys-.
where-are-all-the-women variety. The first type spend all their
time being timid and lost, believing what Greeks
Jf 'tell them. They are pretty dull. The latter group
have a tendency to look frequently upon the wine
when it is red, and to exhibit themselves in a most ungentlemanly
manner when in their cups. They are quite nauseous.
Freshmen women are bad, too. They are impressed by activity
men, and have a ludicrous sophistication picked up irom reading
"Madamoiselle." They squeal, say 'cute all the time, and wear
clothes that are too typical. They court a lot, and quail hunters
usually bring out the artillery for' their entrance. I
o
Despite English professors and chemistry courses, college is a
happy thing. Happy, that is, if you are smart. And smartness in-
eludes knowing when to rebel, when to accept.
TT?i5r And, verily, I say unto you, accept some of the
KULLb mles, hideous though they be. Nothing is worse
than freshman military when you are a senior; nothing so saddens
the heartas the knowledge that you have to work off some onerous
foreign language when you want to take political science. The best
thing to dols to brush off these things at first. The time is now.
Too much time given to activities is more than foolish, it is sin
ful. If it is true that all of college is not in books, it is doubly true
that most of it is. Be not a grill goon. Beyond acquiring secretary's
spread, it will give you a one-sided impression of college, and leave
you stunted, a mental pigmy. Be not too sure. Avoid saying 'al
ways 'never and 'every.'
Keep yourself mentally awake, and these will be the golden years.
Four years filled with the mellow glow of autumn afternoons, of
happy football crowds, of snow's whiteness and the warming sight
of sorority open-house of Friday afternoons. Four years of rush
weeks. Union dances, moonlight and parked cars,
from which issues the silvery tinkle of soft femi
nine protest. Four years of beering through hazy
nights, of pounding on the table, shouting down the wisdom of the
ages, of pointing out the fallacies of the masters. Eight semesters
of love and friendship, hate and anger, and the terrible indecision
that comes from conflicting knowledge. Four years of good teach
ers and bad, of kindly advice, of meeting and parting, of life as it
should be lived, and as it can never be lived once you have departed
the gates. Keep your nose clean and the next forty-eight months
are all velvet.

FOUR
YEARS
HERE IS
COLLEGE
I happened to run into a textbook the other day, one of those
rare good ones which the philanthropic downtown organizations
have not as yet eliminated, which just about summed up the thought
of college. Permit me to quote:
"And now here is college. All the values of youth are heightened
and sharpened. If you are lucky you begin to see what it is all about,
this business of living how the present grew out of the past,' and
how the future is growing out of the present. College means many
things to many minds, but to all it can mean this:
a blessed space of time when the main concern of
getting on can be postponed and a man or woman
has a chance to get acquainted with himself in the universe. Just
outside the college gates is a world which seems slightly unreal and
more than a little queer. Beneath the benediction of campus elms
is the one true reality, which is of the mind. Bit by bit we fit together
the pieces which make an ideal world, not too much concerned if
they do not altogether conform to any familiar pattern. We are
building a long-run world and we have only four years to do it in !
How must we exert ourselves to gather up every scrap of goodness,
every shred of sweetness, and fashion Ihem into the dream which
we would live by. How must we grasp at every true value and make
it ours for all time. How must we lay up the affirmations of wise
men to guide us in a world of doubt and denial. This is our little
golden moment of privilege when the world says, 'Here, we'll leave
you alone until you get your bearings. Here is leisure to grow in.
In God's name, make the most of it' !"

at least they rallied enough to pay
their own check . . . Ode tor the dance:

While the hostess grinned slyly

Toward the girl he'd adore,

But the hostess espied him
Something died inside him

Class Cuts
Review of Spring Diseases
Shows High MorM Rate
By Bill Pearson
James Oscar Whoozis was an aw
fully nice fellow; he knew how to get
along with the coeds; he was a good
party boy; he, believe it or not, passed
his courses. But for some strange
reason we suddenly missed Ossie the
middle of last April. He had con
tracted a common ' variation of the
sleeping sickness epidemic.
It was all brought on by staying
up so late at night having a wonder
ful time as those excellent parties he
and his friends took time about throw
ing. The result was that his resist
nnce p-nt low and he just couldn't
wake up in the morning. HE MISSED
FOUR PHYSICAL ED CLASSES.
Too bad, but everyone ought to know
that when you have a disease of this
epidemic type so seriously as to miss
four physical ed classes that college
life has become too strenuous for you
and you are a "carrier" and must
leave school for the good of the other
students as well as yourself.
Casualty One
Of course Oscar was warned after
he missed three physical culture ses
sions that he was in a very dangerous
condition and that if he succumbed to
his weakness in any sort of class
again, he would have to be isolated for
his own good. But poor Oscar was
too far gone, and he became one of
our casualties.
Now in this next instance we could
talk about a certain very attractive
young coed who knew a very hand
some young lieutenant in a certain
army camp in these parts, and who
simply had to meander over to spend
days at a time with , him. But it is
slightly improper to discuss the af
fairs of young ladies who get ill; we
have to" depend upon them to volun
teer their own versions of their ex
periences which they usually do.
So here we will develop the story
of John Izzingglass Strange, familiar
ly called Izzie, who also had the mag
netic type of wanderlust. Just after
Christmas last year, Izzie found it
impossible to keep from going on little
jaunts to one particular institution
of learning housing members of the
- HONOR CODE -
A couple of hundred miles from
Chapel Hill there stands another great
southern university which is proud of
its Honor System.
Once, not very long ago, a student
was observed cheating on a chemistry
quiz by a fellow member of the class.
The observer knew the Honor System,
as does every student in this particular
university, and his responsibility to it.
Still, it was difficult to report a fellow
student for cheating and he needed
some time to think about it. The prob
lem worried him for several days, as
he thought again and again of the ob
ligation which he had to his university
and his fellow students. Finally he
made up his mind, and with great ef
fort he went to his professor and re
ported what he had seen. The man rose
from his seat and eagerly extended his
hand to the boy.
"Son, I'm glad that you finally came.
I hoped that you would."
"Why me, sir?"
"Because you are the last member of
the class to report it."
Honor in action.
opposite sex. And as April tarner
into May, his jaunts grew into trips,
with the result that his instructor in
his major became worried about the
fact that he himself might contract
this perfectly natural but peculiarly
chronic disease and promptly had all
such students as Izzie taken from his
class to a preventorium.
Unfair to Instructors
Izzie couldn't graduate. He was
Kwn(f Tjrpwrtted. And those unfor
tunates who suffer from Izzie's type
of wanderlust find it awfully hard
to enjoy preventoriums. So be warned
by Izzie's fate, people. Don't give in
and let your teacher face empty class-
es. it aon t wotk out.
Our example of victims of the third
and most contagious of these sickness
es really has met an awful end. The
little microbes that worked on him
gave him a fit. From sheer perverse
ness they wouldn't let him go to his
classes. They told him he was a free
soul, that he was paying his way and
had a right to do as he pleased, that
anybody who said differently was try
ing to discipline him.
Master of His Fate
So he listened to them, and he told
other people what the microbes told
him. Now he's gone; and his fami
ly decided that the best way to cure
him would be to get him in the army.
That's where he is, still trying to be
a free soul and still fighting against
discipline. But, strangely enough,
the microbes are f ightihg a losing bat
tle; and the victim is on his way to
recovery, though too late to utilize
his lost chance at college.
Now everyone, we know, feels very
sorry for these poor unfortunates. It's
too bad that our medical doctors won't
excuse these students who suffer from
these troubles; but they say that since
they can't find any positive proof of
disease germs, they won't take the
responsibility. Symptoms are not
enough.
So there remain only two ways to
stay normal healthy college students.
Absorb this: Don't cut a three hour
class but twice and a five hour class
but four times. Then no one will
have any positive proof that you are
sick and ought to be out of school.
Or, you can become immune in the
eyes of the school by making the hon-
thus give in to the diseases as much
as you please and still be considered
hale and sound and instead of a
danger to your fellow students, a
positive good influence on them.
But in either case, look out for mis
sing more than two physical ed classes
and any quizzes. And for further
clarification of these dangerous evils,
see your nearest advisor, dean, mem
ber of the Tar Heel staff or Dr.
Frank. -
