Subscription Phones Editor 655 Manager Daily News Editor This Issue Margaret Morrison Night Editor This Issue Walter Coover On “Getting By” It’s not a question of whether we win or lose but how we play the game. That’s what counts. Someway or other we managed to pilfer an unwary hour from our daily schedule to see the picture, “If Winter Comes.’’ The hero in this picture played the game and played it squarely, even though everything seemed to be against him. There are more ways than one of getting through this Uni versity. Despite the tightened standards it is still possible for one to obtain a degree without the amount of effort that should be made. Obtaining favoritism from week-kneed professors, clever ness rather than facts in examination papers and “cribbing’ v are the methods used by some students in every institution. When they “get-by” with it they think they have won; bu1 the joke—and it is a pathetic, hollow joke—is that they haven’t They have made someone pay for an education which thej didn’t get. They got their diploma. A diploma, earned fairly means much to the holder. A diploma taken after four years of scheming and slipping through should be valued at minus nothing. In future years the present student generation will b( the leaders of our state and national life. Habits formed her< will stay with those who have them. Those who have slippec through here will have to find an “easy way” then. The sun-set hour of graduation day is one time to tak< stock and figure whether one has really won and the sun-se hour ef the day of the final spurt in life’s great struggle if another. At both times it will be satisfying to look back and forgetting any small successes or failures, to feel that playing the game as it should be played was the real victory after all Hours and Diplomas We are here to get an education, and it seems to be all doin up for us in neat parcel-packages. One ^hundred and eighty six hours traded for a diploma, and everyone satisfied. We believe in progress, and some of us in what we call tin scientific theory of evolution. We are optimistic because w( believe in the accomplishment of all things, at least all things “humanly possible” through industry. To know what we know, not to bother about what we don’i know, to commit ourselves definitely to all things of our in terest; to be always on one side of the fence or the other, is not that enough? To have great faith in one’s friends and tc detest one’s enemies, knowing where one stands, and remaining unbafl’led by life is pleasant. So we have our motion picture heroes who are “sons of the divine” and our villians who ar< “sons of the evil one.” Perhaps it is best so! But to sit on the fence of non-committance, to be not toe sure of anything and everything, to laugh in the face of lift with its crushing capital “L,” and to die with a smile on oui lips—is this youth or is it age? Earl Goes East to Search for Coach (Continued from page one) which Earl is working, is its recom mendation that he l>e sent oast. It is through this body that the re commendations turned in by Earl will Dually come to the executive council. Cake is not expected to accom pany the athletic director during all that remains of the journey, but may come back to the west from Philadelphia.

Literary Gossip by PAT MORRISSETTE A brick wall of the Delta Upsilon j house at the University of Syracuse j is being torn down in hopes of re | covering an unpublished manuscript j of Stephen Crane. Young Steve lost it behind the wall after “leav | ing it hang around the house.” > • « And that takes up right up to [the Edison Marshall contest. Isn’t it funny that the assumption al ways is that the winning story is the best! Almost reminds us of a beauty contest. * • • Booth Tarkington’s latest novel is due “out” this month. Conrad took three years for “The Rover,” while Tarkington’s book, “The Mid lander,” seems to be almost follow ing “Alice Adams.” The distance, however, is entirely respectable. The title sounds like another of these “gontlemen from Indiana,” but after “Alice Adams” it would be crude even to suspect it. • * * William 8. “Big Bill” Hart has presented the University with a copy of his novel “A Lighter of Elames.” It’s all about Patrick Henry. “This satisfies a desire which I have long had,” says Bill, in the preface. And at that, he ought not to bo very well satis fied. A few lines from the climax will show the subliminal heights which Mr. Hart reaches in his novel: “Dear heart,” said the young man, gently, “The bitter waters of unrequited love are near to swamp ing us both.” (This sure sounds like a mill race scene.) It is rather heartless to realize that one para graph of Patrick Henry is worth more than poor Bill’s novel cele brating his existence. The book is illustrated by those fripperish, sentimental types that James Mont gomery Flagg loves to draw. * * * “The Rise of the Universities,” by Charles H. Haskin, is among the books recently acquired by the library. “A university,” says the professor, “would be a very com fortable place if it were not for the students.” (To the student this sort of aphorism is like a minis 1 BELL Theatre SPRINGFIELD Sunday, January 20 BUCK JONES in “Boss of Camp 4” A hurricane of dynamic action • TWO REEL COMEDY “Three Gun Man” Starting at 6, continuous Rose La Vogue Beauty Shop Manicuring, Scalp and Face Treatments.

A barber once told us that Mr. Grey was the greatest of living authors. We did not deny that he was living. Edwin Arlington Robinson’s new narrative poem, “The Man Who Died Twice,” is also due. All the critics will be sincerely enthusias tic, even though the poem only varies Robinson’s thematical obses sion. Floyd Dell, with his publisher, has called in his latest novel, “Janet Marsh” from the book sellers. There will be no further sales of the book. The campus re members the novel being hailed as “having arrived”. (Its quiet re ception was not so notable.) Dell’s action comes as a result of a tem porary injunction against the sale of the book in Chicago. This Hecht affair has been of very doubtful value to contemporary movements in literature. Dell believes the book to be of less value than “Moon-Calf” and “Briary Bush.” There is no reason why the thing should be removed from the rent collection. And it probably will not be.
