Habits of study and vital intellectual interests cannot be forcec upon the average student; the pursuit of higher education cannot b< successfully carried out where this pursuit must be mechanical h character. Enforced increase in the classroom work can only meai that mechanical thinking must replace free thinking, the desire loi intellectual development will be a machine-like preparation and recita tion of text-book assignments, with the main idea being to acquit i the minimum number of credits necessary to secure a diploma. We like to think in terms of a liberal-minded education, lustructoj and student alike feel that “spoon feeding” and the “glorified higl school” should be discarded when a higher education is the goal the: strive for. Yet with a nose to the grindstone and another day addec to the week of class work, the old days of compulsory measures art apparently to return. The goal is not the diploma. A diploma may assist the college graduate to acquire a position, but a diploma will not keep him ad vancing once he is in that position. The rudiments of the colleg training und familiarity with the subject must do that. A libera education will do much to raise the level of American citizenship, a liberal education cannot be acquired where no time is allowed fo student activities. They are necessary to the broadening of the out look on life, necessary to promote the incentive for individual respor sibility and self assurance. Another day of class room work with an additional evening fo preparation will make dangerous inroads into the student activities Too much time needed for class work is now given as the reason fo so many capable students not taking part in vital student affaiis an activities. The six-day week is not conducive to a liberal education. Sti dents could not take their nose from the grindstone to take the: proper place in student activities. Movies and Morals “Nature is neither moral nor immoral; it is a biological fact.’’ il dares (Irant Showerman in “Art and Decency” which appears in tt last issue of the Vale Review, lie was obviously not speaking ( movies; his topic was art. Hut lie might have chosen the celluloid. “ We shall do better,” In' says, “to regard realism in the portray of sex as an offense not so much against morals as against decency. He reduces it to a question of ugliness and not of immorality and 1 is right. Il is not in its ugliness, even in its indecency, it s in artistry tlr the real peril of the movie lies. Ugliness and lack ot artistry are a parent. The college student sees them; they disgust him. 1 he nu of the streets is vaguely perturbed by them. Indecency can be ee sored if need he as long as moralists remain sure that unrestraint presentation of it is not for the common good. The great peril of the movie lies in this that it presents a fal picture id' life; to meet its inartistic cuds it commonly presents virti in ugly east and vice in the role of beauty, youth and a dangero happiness. Early this week Constance Talmadge appeared in “Pol of the Pollies" in which the “good people" of Howling Green, m guided and narrow though they were, according to the uses of t story, wore presented as totally ugly, crabbed, and misanthrop while the antics of the hero in carrying about a small liquor d pensarv belted beneath his coat ami in taking up an offer of marria from a girl of his own set which was exclusive because of its beii “so damn stupid” it couldn’t afford to let outsiders discover t fact, were clothed in the appealing guise of romance. Time will come when the kiddies who witness these films tod will grow up to think of all reformers as misanthropes, of all la breakers and seekers of pleasure in itself as romantic heroes. Wh that time conies, one will have ample reason to regret the movies today and will wish sincerely that less attention had been paid the length of the screen kiss and more to the underlying morality at truth of the picture itself.

L Open Forum WARM WORDS FOR GLEE CLUB To the Editor: I listened to the Oregon Glee Club | last week at the Heilig, and it occurs I to me that more advantage should be ' taken of the opportunity to use this I organization for advertising purposes, There are a number of us old-timers i Have heard every glee club on the | coast, and we know that our organiza 1 tion is a better organization than any of them. * A few years ago the Oregon Glee Club tour was an event looked forward 1 to by the people of every leading town in the state and every concert resulted in many warm friends for the Univer sity. Are we not missing a splendid opportunity to use this fine organiza tion in giving the University the kiiu I of advertising it needst Yours very truly, V. T. MOTSOTIENBACHER, ’14.

Why, just buy Camels and look at the package! It’s the best packing science has devised to keep cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste. Heavy paper out side—secure foil wrapping inside and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the package and keep it air-tight. And note this! There’s nothing flashy about the Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense that must come out of the quality of the tobacco. Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on merit alone. Because, men smoke Camels who want the taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth, refreshing mildness and their freedom from cigaretty aftertaste. Camels are made for men who think for themselves. R. J.
