These Busy Days ^JOLLEGE days are busy days. However, every now and then a former student who is now out in competitive busi ness, or the professional world, drops by the campus for a visit and tells us he had far more leisure while in the University. To the student bending beneath a burden of “activities” this news is not particularly cheering. He asks himself how any mortal could have less leisure than he lias and remain standing at all. In a way he is right in assuming the impossibility of a human being devoting any more time and energy to active work than he feels he is doing. His mind has become the vor tex of a whirling pool which threatens to engulf him. It whirls faster and faster. He flies from this bit of work to that, pushing back this stream and that stream just enough to keep it from welling up and pouring over him in exultant satisfaction. In his daily program he has set no time aside for meditation. It seems a curse of the average Occidental mind that it does not voice a crying need for time allowing sober, quiet thought. The spirit of the Occident dashes down a steep, and rocky bed, a leaping and foaming cataract of action. There are no deep pools lying behind sheltering islands, where the waters may flow cool and clear and placid. Much foam and froth aceummulates. Much sediment is gathered, little may settle. It whirls and dances on the sur face in merry abandon. The time set aside for leisure each day need not necessarily be of great length. But it must he reserved for doing nothing— but thinking. From this comes the sense of leisure that is so' vital—the knowledge and feeling that, there is a certain hour each day that is sheltered from the swift rush of life. In this sheltered period hectic worries are forgotton, action slows, and the muddy sediment of everyday life sinks into shadowed deeps. A mind remains clear, cool, and tranquil. Comes then—peace and meditation. For how can life be lived the fullest when no time he taken for consideration of life? | Editorially Clipped ] <$>-—--<s> STUDENTS UNDEK THE MICROSCOPE Truly wo are living in an ago of probes, investigations and enquiries. Tho great war left the world a leg acy of distrust which has found a convenient safety valve in declaim ing against wrong both fancied and real, which appear to have risen if not directly from social inequalities created by the vast upheaval, at least from the altered social fabric. Morbid curiosity has seized upon the occasion to delve into private affairs, and occasional startling dis closures unduly magnified by un scrupulous persons have sufficed to give the spark of life to the latent inquisitiveness which exists in all humans to a greater or lesser de gree. From the political phase, we have seen the prying process extend ed to financial, commercial and now even to educational institutions. And the thing in the latter that intrigues tho public is the genus student itself. Here, they say, is an organism that displays fitful bursts of originality remarkable even in this hectic age. How does he function, and what impulses j motivate him? Is his prime motive] on the gridiron really one of devo tion to his college, or is it self-glori fication? Would he fight as hard j if reporters did not devote columns to a well-placed kick? And again: Is delving into science leading him from orthodox religion to atheism and does not liis social life conflict with his professed objective? These and scores of other questions most of which have even less grounding in fact but have fictional exploita tion as their origin, are sending re porters across country to provide a curious public with an explanation of the “modus operandi” of imost perplexing mechanism the present day student. With but few exceptions, the vast body of students have a way of living their own lives in a frank open way, quite unmoved by the synthetic notoriety given them by a 1 periodic press which must needs at- ! tach its fantastic chimeras upon a body concerning the inner workings I of which its gullible readers know ' little. It may be reassuring to the large public, which is sympathetic- I ally inclined towards the Uuiver < sitios and the students, to see these s fictional concoctions dispelled by j i those who have made a serious sur- : vey. Touching upon science as a faith-' wrecker, and the trepidation of 1 parents in sending their offspring jl to college lest they come back with I j faith shattered and moral stand i ards lowered, a professor of Philos jl ophy and Kducation who has made j a special study of the problem, I \/agaries (By W. L.) Inasmuch as the seniors are sup posed to come to their eight o'clocks on roller skates, we can ex pect to see the freshmen embarked on “kiddie kars,” the sophomores on “skooters,” and the juniors on little red express wagons. I thought I’d read a lofty book And just cram erudition I took out one with friendly look To heed prof’s admonition. The one I chose was quite well worn And full of margin writing Some dumbell with a cause forlorn The author was indicting. He’d scrawled across a margin fair— “And this all from a bone has lead— Some bone.” Some bone was there But in the scrawler’s head! There’s music gay and lots of light With softly murmured laughter. Blithe and gay the dance at night But, O, the morning after. Lessons loom and lots of strife, Mocking is the laughter. And bitter are the joys of life, Upon the morning after. Backward, turn backward, O time in thy flight I know I could study if it were last night. tCOMING EVENTS I ---<s> Thursday, January 29 11:90 a. m.—Assembly, Wo man ’s building. 7:30 p. m.—Basketball, Mon tan a-Oregon, Armory. 8:30 p. m.—“Yellow Candle Light,” Guild hall.

If a man is consistent flunker we lose interest in him. It s a waste of time to train a man who cannot or will not pass in his itudies, for he is sure to be remov 'd from the squad sooner or later. No one will risk the chance of milding into a his fooball machine i man who will probably be remov 'd at a crucial moment, possibly a Few days before one of the biggest punes.” And so, if we chose to take the ime, we could refute other allega tions of insincerity to our ideals md indifference to the graver so •ial problems of the day.
