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

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

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."

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<

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.

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.
