We’re Really Optimistic
At the close of the year—the editors of the Emerald look back.
They vaguely recall impressions which they had as freshmen. They
remember ways in which they were disillusioned. As seniors, they
see the campus in an entirely different light. Instead of an infallible
institution, they see an organization which is none too perfect. They
are hopeful for the future, but they are conscious that the progress
cannot be made without effort.
• * * * •
They see a seemingly increasing trend toward paternalism. There
is the greater tendency to set up this rule and that rule. There is the
ever-present American evil of standardization. There is the repression
of individuality and the discouragement of student opinion—by dis
regarding it. There is the increasing thought of the effect on the
public. There is too much responsibility on the shoulders of a few.
• * • • •
The editors realize that every year there is a smaller proportion
of the students who really have the welfare of the University at heart.
Every year it becomes harder to arouse interest in athletic contests.
Every year there are more students who think traditions are merely
relics of the past.
• • * • #
They have the increased fees called to their attention by those
who would point out that education is solely for the man with money.
They see that the boast that there is no tuition might well be omitted
from the sales-talk. They realize that the number of self-supporting
students is annually becoming less and less, despite figures to the
contrary.
• • • * *
Four years have demonstrated that a vote for student body offi
cers in the annual election means little. They see that student govern
ment is as yet something afar off. They have found that no matter
how solid may be student opinion, the results will be influenced little.
• • # # *
It lias become evident that many things are not as they should
be—that those mentioned above are but samples.
# # # # #
They are not altogether discouraged, however. It is not a ten
dency peculiar to Ibis university. They have the confidence that the
student leaders will accept the challenge, and that they will realize
the dangers. Although the Emerald this year has found many con
ditions which it has believed to be wrong, it was in a spirit of op
timism that they were handled. All things cannot be accomplished in
a day.
College Clippings
“Barnyard Golf” is Ohio State
Craze—" Barnyard go If,” commonly
known ns horseshoe pitching has taken
a new lease on the hearts of Ohio State
college athletes. Sixteen courts have
been laid out to accomodate the re
awakened interest of students in the
old-time game. The courts are occu
pied at all hours of the day by teams
practicing for the annual tournament.
Interclass as well as intramural and in
terfraternity meets have been sche
duled.
Student's Automobiles Condemned—■
An official of Stanford University,
speaking as a former student regarding
the measure to prohibit the use of stu
dent’s cars on the campus said: “The
l udergradunte has no legitimate use j
for an automobile. When a student is
engaged in his' regular college work
and also in some form of outside activi
ty, most of his time is already occupied.
The car is only an excuse to get away
from the campus and into trouble.” i
Campus Grass Would Encircle the
World—A student in engineering at
Ohio State College has estimated that
the blades of grass cut from the cam
pus of that institution in one mowing,
if placed end to end, would encircle
the world 3.13 times.
One Third of Co-eds Have Goiters—
One third of the co-eds at the Univer
sity of Indiana have goiters, according
to the University physician, who said 1
that prevention could t>o accomplished
by treatment with iodine in the spring
and fall. College girls often get goiters
as a result of over taxed nerves and
general fatigue, say physicians.
Professors are Blind—The pretty
moron who thinks she can succeed on
her appearance alone is deluding her
self. Professors are all blind, or pro
tend to be. This is the eonclusion of
a reporter who interviewed 25 members
of the University of Washington fac
ulty on the subject of gauging the
co-ed's mentality by the degree of her
prettiuess.
$35,000 in Fellowships -The Graduate
School of Vale University will grant
fellowships amounting to $35000 to stu-|

POTATO SALAD—
PROBABLY MUSH
Suppose that you had eaten some
potato salad—you just knew that it
W'as potato salad, for you could taste
the spuds in it and the onions and the
chopped up olives, and the smooth may
onaise dressing—but suppose that you ;
had eaten all this branded under the
name of potato salad, and then had
some one tell you that you had been
eating nothing more than some corn
meal mush, just plain corn meal mush.
Maybe you had seen a dish of spring
asparagus, which looked so tempting,
and then someone told you it was mere
ly the sprouts off the brake ferns. Still
another time you wanted to taste a de
licious custard pie, and was just ready
to enjoy a good mouthful when some
body again had to spoil life for you
by telling you that the crust was made
of corn meal mush.
Disgusting is the word you have al
ready applied to such nonsense. Yet
wander over to the household arts
building some afternoon, and you will
see seven serious-faced Condon Club
members taking a course in camp cook
ery, in which they learn to concoct
just such delicacies, for they are study
ing the essentials to be taken along
on a camp trip. Not only the essen
tials, but the variations of essentials,
and the numerous things that can be
made from one thing. You may think
it funny that men should be so earnest
ly studying cooking, but that is not
the point at all. It was the men of
the Condon Club who asked that the
course be taught at the University,
because it is a part of their geology
training. But there is a woman, one
woman in the class. She is a major in
geology, specializing in mineralogy,
and a member of Condon club, so if
course she wanted to take the camp
cooking work.
She seemed surprised to think that
folks should be wondering why she was
in the class, for she says that it is
only the fifth class in which she has
been where she is the only feminine
student.
STRAY BOOKS RETURNED
One Hundred Books Brought to Library
Through Thespians Help Last Week
The Thespians, under the leadership
of Velma Meredith, succeeded in hav
ing returned to the University library
nearly a hundred books which were
overdue. The “Back to the library”
movement took place the last of the
week, but according to the librarian
there are still a great many books out
which should be returned before the
close of the term. The veteran of the
old books returned during the campaign
had the distinction of having been gone
frhm the library since March 1917.
There were a number which held rec
ords of from one to three years absence.
Instead of the movement to get books
back being considered as past, those
in charge are urging that it be consid
ered merely as a good beginning and
that people get busy and bring in more
books.
