Piper Night Editor This Issue Leon Byrne Mr. Lewisohn s Viewpoint University students who have been reading recent denunciations of American colleges by Ludwig Lewisohn should withhold judgment until they know something of Mr. Lewisohn and his perspective. To know that he is associate editor of the Nation, dramatic critic, author of “Up-Stream,” and former assistant professor of German at Ohio State University is not enough. Headers should bear in mind that Lewisohn has no love for American institutions. They should know of his attitude during the war and of his frequent tirades against existing social customs. Those who have read “Up-Stream,” with its disapproval of the utilitarian features of education, realize that although there may be some foundation in what he says, it may be exaggerated for the purposes of propaganda. Lewisohn’s latest is to disparage the place of athletics in college affairs. Some time ago he attacked the teach ing of French literature and drama. He has mentioned with approval the “new human civilization of Russia and Germany.”* As a radi cal writer he is entitled to a certain degree of respect for his audacity, but before readers subscribe to his doctrines they should know what his viewpoint is. Society and its institutions are far from perfect, but criticism should at least be constructive. And there can be no constructive criticism without a thorough knowledge of the subject. Before you agree with Mr. Lewisohn, subject his writings to that test. He is not satisfied with our present institutions—but what better has he to suggest? Common-sense Philosophy “You cannot all win intellectual distinction and stand in the first rank of scholarship. In the very nature of the case it is impos sible for more than one man to stand at the head of his class. But every man here can develop character of the highest type. He can, by turning his back on4 unworthy associations, by setting his face against all lawless action, by nailing the flag of honesty and truth to his masthead to fly there in all weathers, make his own worthy contribution to that larger life in which he shares. When.he does that he will write across his own forehead a name that will be an honor to him .... and an honor to the college with which he easts his lot.” I lie above statement of Dean Brown of Yale University reveals a common-sense philosophy born of long experience with college men. Even for the student who does not engage in outside activities it sets up something higher than mere scholastic excellence. Avoid Confusion People who have occasion to schedule meetings in the Woman’s building have often complained that it is hard to identify the dif ferent rooms. Several of the rooms are named, but a person trying to designate a meeting place has a hard time to tell people where it is to be. Why not name them after prominent alumni? Y. M. C. A. BOARD MEETS Business Operations of Body Discussed at Dinner Held at the Anchorage Routine matters were discussed and criticized at the monthly meeting of the advisory board of the campus Y, M. 0. A. last night when the group gathered at the Anchorage at 5:30 and combined the dinner hour with a period of die mission, as is done the first Tuesday of every month. The object of these meetings is to acquaint the members of the board with the business iterations which are being carried on by the or gani/ation. M. II. Douglass is the chairman of the board with 0. D. Thorpe as secre tary, and II. R. Douglass as treasurer. Student representatives of this advis ory board are Webster Ruble, Floyd Wright, Lot Beatie, and Bill Purdy. FROSH GLEE WILL START LATE On account of the ball game with O. A. 0. Friday night the Frosh Glee which will be held at the Woman's! o building will not begin until nine o' cloek. It had previously been reported 1 ibat the dance would start at eight thirty but the time was changed in order to let the students attend the game first, according to Floyd MeOalli son, who is general manager - of the ! affair. is" -— PERFECT SCREEN LOVERS " i'he Noire from the Minaret” once again reunites the screen’s perfect lov ers, Norma Talmadge and Kugene O Urien. Since their former joint appear ances in photoplays, Mr. O'Brien has become a star in his own right, but af ter reading the story of “The Voice from the Minaret” he did not hesitate an instant in accepting the offer of a leading role with Miss Talmadge, al though it meant a considerable delay in one of ha own features. And his deci sion had, indeed, proved a wise one, for since the announcement of this picture they have both been swamped with nail from fans congratulating them on : heir reunion.

The latest, and, what is thought by New York critics to be one of the best, is “The Super Sex,” the attraction at the Rex theater today for two days. It is an adaptation of Frank R. Ad am’s Cosmopolitan Magazine story, di rected by Lambert Hillyer, with a cast which numbers Robert Gordon, Char lotte Pierce, Tully Marshall, Gertrude Claire, Lydia Knott and Albert Mac Quarrie. “THE KINGDOM WITHIN,” HEILIG The action in the picture, “The King dom Within,” coming to the Heilig theater today- takes place in the midst of the big redwood trees in California. The locale is laid in the little town of Alden, which nestles in the shadow of the forests of Giant Redwood. Inasmuch as many of the players in the cast claim California for their home, it was a real old home week for most of the company' . during the filming of this picture. FACULTY SWIM DISCONTINUED As attendance by the faculty at the swimming pool in the Woman's build ing on Monday nights has been so small recently it has been decided by those in charge to discontinue the practice, according to a notice just received at the administration office.
