FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1933 ( ? Two Extremes And A Mean t Says Mclntyre: Professors are hired bits of camouflage stuck around to give an athletic club the complexion of a college. Says Brisbane: Fine highways are admirable v and great public buildings. But nothing is im- ^ Oportant when compared to the universities, their r FACULTIES and TEACHERS. Says we: Some are and some are not. j, Up at DePaul University they have decided to ^ I admit free to the Junior Prom all students who J5 will appear at the dance with an eight-day growth of beard. " The entire object of true education is to make ^ I people not merely do the right things, but enjoy c the right things?not merely industrious, but to ^ love industry?not merely learned, but to love a knowledge?not merely pure, but to love purity? ^ not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after ; B j ustiee.?Ruskin. Not the only April Fool joke took place at e Carolina where the "Yellow Sheets" were taken d I out of the Gamecock office and returned twenty- 5l I four hours after the time set for their distribu- v I tion. Someone stole the clapper out of the campus t SQP bell at Presbyterian College. It was found in the t desk of a professor. r u. s. o. (] The Pennsylvania state highway patrol recently v confiscated twenty-five cars owned by students at LeIIigh University and classified them as "relics unfit to operate on the public streets." U. 8. O. Face The Facts s Several years ago, long before the return of o legal beer, the president of Yale University instituted a policy of not only tolerating but openly f encouraging the presence of beer gardens on and j. around the University campus. He adopted this policy because he was frank enough to admit that c liquor among students is something that is a real j, problem and therefore a solution of some kind had s to be found. Realizing that it was impossible to a stop drinking, he turned to the best alternative? j beer. ? n He held that it was better for the student to go \ to a beer garden than to a speakeasy, better to d have a few glasses of beer and then go to his room j to study than to have a fow drinks of bootleg t whiskey and then go to Heaven knows where. Ilis j: was a practicable and common sense scheme and t the students responded accordingly. Recently President Baker officially announced that beer would not be sold in the canteen. 'He gave as his reason fear of criticism from outside n the University. Is the purpose of the University c administration to gain the approval of a small ^ outside minority or to achieve the well-being of r the students attending the University? Any sane I person can see that among college students the ? best possible solution for the liquor problem is t beer. Beer should be made as accessible to the students as possible if it is to be a real agency of temperance. k r The problem of student drinking is too im- ^ portant to be lightly disposed of. Let the authorities discard their past policy of denying that ^ which is and come forth with courageous leader) ship. This is no time for a "holier than thou" attitude; this is the time for action and straight 0 square thinking without fear or favor. s< ^mmmmm???w Here Ides The Constitution j When a constitution is drawn up and in turn iccepted by the students, that constitution is the lupreme law and authority, and any violation of i iuch a charter is a violation of the students* rights. The Garnet and Black has a constitution. That ionstitution provides certain eligibility requirenents for the offices of business manager and edior-in-chief. These requirements are in turn one tnd two years service on the staff. I he names of the two candidates placed on the >allot for the office of business manager in the atempted election yesterday, which, even before the tudents seized and destroyed the ballot box, was [uite properly declared invalid by the president of he student body because of certain constitutional provisions as to the date of such an election, were lot eligible for the simple reason they did not rork on the staff this year and, to our knowledge, icver have. How those names reached the ballot, The Game-, och does not know, but it has a good idea. One ras that of the most consistent politician the Uniersity has seen in recent years. Why was he put ip along with another ineligible candidate for a ob for which at least two conscientious members >f the staff had worked all year long? It is hard o explain without revealing how really rotten >olitics sometimes can be. The whole affair was duplicated with other flagrant violations of the onstitution. ? * 7 he Gavwcoclc, does not ordinarily sanction 'iolence, but it approves of every detail of Thurslay's election fiasco. And, more than that. Should he names of the candidates for business manager n the regular election Tuesday be the same as hose appearing 011 the ballot Thursday, it not nlv expects but hopes the ballots will meet with he same fate. U. 8. O. Unemployed Educated The New York University School of Education reekly publication complains rather bitterly of the 'light of young teachers who are loosed 011 an aleady overcrowded labor market* Now, lets look at ourselves," it says. "It may urt, but let's do it anyway. We have spent as ittle as one term and as much as five years preparing to teach. Shortly, the School of Educa1011 will graduate close to a thousand people who re qualified to teach. We can't expect men and k omen who have worked in schools for so many ears to accept their fate. And yet they keep oming and they keep graduating. New York Jniversity accepts the fees and eventually gives lather pretty diploma. And we can teach. Vhere ? "It isnTt just New York University. It's countess schools of education in every corner of the ountry that are turning out thousands of teachers ach year. Their theorizing and philosophizing oesn't include the rather ridiculous question for philosopher and theorist to handle, "What are ve going to do with the teachers?" And we insist hat it is part of the job of every school of educaion to make it possible for their students to ealize a little happiness on all the work they have lone in school. Just what are we going to do vith our degrees? We fondly ask." And it isn't just New York University School f Education. Pharmacy, Law, Engineering, Medcal, Journalism and countless other schools all ver the country are grinding out annually thouands of replacements for a world that has for;otten what the word means. Has the school any obligation in finding work or these students? The writer of the article from ho ^ew York University School of Education inlicated quite definitely that it has. If this be orrect, then higher education today is failing in ts mission. But, of course, times which have beet applicants for work have beset the colleges nd universities, threatening their very existence. I. G. Wells once said that the key to all our hunan disorder is education, comprehensive and uniersal. He must have been thinking of "human lisorder" as originating from the ranks of unemployed and visualizing a more educated, and, herefore, restrained, unemployed class. At the resent rate the unemployed some day may become lie intelligentsia of the country.

Meanwhile class elections will be called by the presidents of the various classes and elections in various organizations are already being held.
