CENSORSHIP FOR CLASS HOURS
Not only does the American public
like to think for himself, but it likes to
choose what it shall think about. For
this reason, censorship of art, litera
ture, news, and even of moving-pic
tures, has never been popular in this
country. Americans prefer their Sep
tember Mom undraped and their De
Maupassant unexpurgated. The pro
cedure adopted by the European gov
ernments in the present war, of hand
picking the news and perverting it to
gull their citizens, would not be tol
erated on this side of the Atlantic.
This Student Body is a minute seg
ment of the American public. Al
though the matter is not of great mo
ment, we believe the reported attempt
to run the class hour programs
through a faculty strainer before they
are presented, is ill-advised. The class
hours in the past have always been
good fun for the actors and specta
tors, and it is difficult to see in what
respect they have been objectionable.
They are productive of much “pep"
and are an enjoyable variation from
the more staid and serious tone of
the other assemblies. Incidentally,
they assist in forming the assembly
habit among the students. The re
cent entertainment given by the Soph
omores was, we believe, n great suc
cess from this standpoint; in fact*
each program seems to be better than
the laBt.
It is true that they smack of vau
deville—what else can be expected
from student actors who are trying
to entertain their fellow-students?
The failing is by no means peculiar
to college undergraduates; any aver
age person, when he is seeking en
tertainment, chooses vaudeville or the
“movies” in preference to a lecture
or classic drama.
Up to two or three years ago the
class hours in Villard were formal,
and consisted of the usual musical and
elocutionary numbers. It was all
highly proper and most of us stayed
away. Then the present Senior class
conceived the idea of presenting a
farcical skit, interspersed with a few
vaudevillish "turns.” The departure
has been imitated by each succeed
ing class, with the result that Villard
Hall will no longer hold the crowds
which assemble for the programs.
Now we understand that both the
Junior and Freshman class hours,
which are in preparation, are to be
Pasteurized by the faculty. The stu.
dents are certain to resent this Papn
says-Willie-Mustn’t attitude, just as
they would any interference with the
policy of the Emerald, or of any other
of their cherished enterprises.
The class hours are prepared for
a local audience. If this audience
cravee a song and a dance and a joke,
within the limits of reason its wishes
ought to be respected.
“Back to the old style dances” is
the slogan of students of the Univer
sity of Illinois, a large number oi
whom have signed a petition demand
ing more of the waits and two-step

GILBERT WILL GIVE LECTURES

Strong is the belief that rowing is
a good way to build up football ma
terial. Lieutenant Ingram, head
coach of the Navy squad, has advised
all who expect to try out for foot
ball in the fall to take up rowing this
spring. Coach Dickinson, of Penn
sylvania, urges that they play la
crosse.
