Don’t Forget the Sauce jpEW STUDENTS (or educators) know what elements and seasonings should be thrown into the educational pot from which, after four years’ simmering, may be ladled the “well done” graduate. The question is still an open one. Some, who attempt to answer the question, advocate simply boiling in the plain water of assidious preparation for class assgnments. Others advance the theory that the added salt of a leisurely browsing in the Library stacks will lend better flavor. Still others dance wildly about the bubbling stew exhorting the pro fessional chefs to sprinkle liberally with “activity pepper.” Finally, with great shout arise the followers of the Golden Mean, calling for abstention from none, use in moderation of all these preparations. Taking an entirely different slant, is one who has been drawn from the pot and served up to the “outside world.” He writes that in the light of this later experience he would take all the various and sundry recipes mentioned above and throw them into the flames beneath the educational kettle. Fur ther, lie would stir up the fire and encourage the laboring stew to dance and whirl merrily in the happy ectasy of “having a good time.” He says: “The trouble was, I believe, inherent in my ideas concerning education. Doctors of law may put a high value on the classics, the humanities, or a business curriculum, but how many of these eminents ever paddled up the race after dark or danced until the last note on the saxophone slid, weary and forlorn, into space? How many have been to Nimrod on a house party (none at all if the need for chaperones didn’t exist)? How many see the graveyard in any light save that of mortality? And do any of them remember the weary nights of their youth when they trudged toward some Springfield to find a note hidden in a tomato can at the base of the third support of the railroad trestle ? “No, 1 guess my ideas concerning education were at fault. And 1 seriously mean it when l say I’d like more than any other thing in this world to be able to turn back just five years and try it all over again. I’d do it differently. “You bet 1 would. 1 wouldn’t have waited until my junior year before buying a canoe. There is a great deal of apple sauce in this world, but the fellow who says college students are hav ing too good a time at college, should be awarded the gilded shaving mug. They don’t have half enough of fun and after they switch over their tassel and start out to find that “golden opportunity, which is supposed to await youth, they will soon find it out. 1 sometimes think, now that l have a little leisure to look back on college, that the fellow who actually prefers to stay in the house and study ‘econ’ on a dark and pleasant May night never has and never will grasp the real meaning of a uni versity education. Books have so little to do with knowledge. “I know of some college men who believe that the after-col lege days will bring the same companionships, the same old millraee, the same Skinner’s Butte, the same cinder-path around Ilavward, the same old Coburg bridge party. They believe the outside world will still give them the free and easy chance for a good time. “Try and find it!” Perhaps the graduate who voices the above challenge is right. Although he asks that his name remain unquoted, it may be said he is attaining marked success in his field. In the University “kettle” he was prominent and well-known. His recipe is not necessarily a battle cry aimed at classes and books and good, hard work. It is condemnation, however, of blind devotion to classes ami books and work to the exclusion of leisure and happy times. Briefly, may we say, it will profit the' “stew” to be seasoned with “considerable sauce.” ifc ■ The following, clipped from “Editor and Publisher,” is a rather good definition of, as it is headed—“Newspapers You Like:” “An imperfect world offers ample opportunity for com plaint, It appears to be a human trait to find greater interest in imperfection than in perfection. The latter cloys. Flaws beg assistance. Uncommon philosophical balance is required of the professional observer and reporter, lest the seamy side be exaggerated, or at least that brighter phase be neglected. It! is equally important that there be no artificial mask for the face of the news. Find the true interest in all human activities and play them across your board. The newspaper you like is comparable to the man you like—well-informed, penetrating, well-mannered, good-natured, true to ideals, a fighter when pushed too far, but happy most of the time, and headed some where in particular.” Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column for two issues only.

Most of the expense of the station will be paid by the local government where the station is located. I Editorially Clipped I -'—--^ Cornell has for some time been free of the usual collegiate initia tion devices used by various frater nities in their endeavors to instill fear in quaking novitiates with hopes of making them worthier re cipients of fraternal badges. One does occasionally see freshmen wandering through classrooms wear ing grotesque neckties, or precari ously balanced on bridge railings carefully pursuing gaudy periodi cals. But these activities are quite harmless, do little more than in jure the freshman’s pride momen tarily. Recently, however, the Ithaca police force was called to aid in pre venting what appeared to be a con templated suicide. The man not only stood on the banks of the Tn let, evidently intending to plunge in, but a rope was tied around his neck bearing a rock at the othei end of sufficient weight to insure complete immersion. Such sights are not usual, at least near the In let, and those who appealed foi aid from the police department car hardly be blamed for their probable excitement. The student who stoor so placidly on the Inlet bank nt doubt had been ordered not to jumj in without first removing the rope and rock. This little ,ioke may have beer humorous to its perpetrators, but i1 is a poor precedent to set. And i1 is particularly bad for any frater nity at Cornell to subject its novitiates to this sort of initiation procedure since the University au thorities have prohibited it. Fra ternity initiations should be con ducted entirely in the houses ac cording to faculty regulation. Such occurrences as the one Friday night are apt to bring discredit upon all fraternities, even though they may result in no absolute harm to any one. It is indeed a regrettable condition when police regulation oi fraternity initiations becomes nee essary. Any similar occurrences ir the future should be dealt with se verely, not only for safety of those involved, but also for the sake oi the reputations of the University and fraternities.

Mencken, edi i tor of the American Mercury, on. American colleges offering courses1 | in journalism and the quality and value of such courses which ap peared in a recent issue of the Washington Newspaper, is answered , by Professor Norman J. Eadder, of, the department of journalism, in the current issue of the same pub lication. Mencken declared that schools and departments of journalism sel dom are manned by men of any genuine professional training, or of any firm notion of what jour nalism is about; that they are far too easy in their requirements for admission; that one-half of them are simply refuges for students too stupid to tackle the other profes sions, and that they offer snap courses, and promise quick jobs with the result that the graduates coming out of them are mainly sec ond-raters, graduates from the gene ral arts courses making far better material for journalism. In answer to the charges, Profes sor Eadder points out that all are false, typical of the Mencken style of attack—a broad, sweeping de nunciation of everything. Profes sor Eadder refers to a Teport of a committee of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, which ranks schools and departments of jour nalism. The committee found that out of a total of 14 schools of jour nalism in the United States, eight received an A rating and five B rating, and of 43 departments of journalism, 19 were rated A, and 12 B.
