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?

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.

vrites: “Such fears have been un
luly aroused by the lurid and dis
orted pictures of college life set
’orth in certain modern novels, and
jy the equally unfounded alarms
>f theological calamity-howlers who
lee in the advance of science the
vrecknge of religious faith;” and
lie articles continues—“to be sure,
ragedies occur in college as else
vhere; but the outlook is not so
lismal as it has been painted, and
raronts may rest assured that the
!aitli and morals of their children
ire at, least as safe in college as in
my ordinary environment.”
To spike the claim that sport
akes too much time away from
itudies, the head coach of American
University which counts a heavy
■nrollment, points out that practic
illy all college faculties today are
insistent on satisfactory class work
jy athletes. “Every coach I know
coops after his men all the time
vith encouragement to do good
.•lass work. 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. While we
leprecate the activities of the seu
lational press, such things are best
gnoved.—McGill Daily.

NORTH DAKOTA BARS
FRATERNITY F0RMALS
University of North Dakota.—
A successful student campaign has
recently been carried on at the Uni
versity of North Dakota by Peter
Burtress, senior in the school of
journalism, for the abolishment of
fraternity formals. The idea when
first proposed met with little ap
proval, but by a series of editorials,
news stories, and personal inter
views, Burtress was able to change
the attitude of the college in six
days.
By means of his action, in show
ing the earnestness and sincerity of
the school, recommendations were
made by the state board of admin
