A Sensible Attempt To
Ease The Activity Burden
In an attempt to ease the extra-curricula activities burden
which invariably falls on a few unfortunates, the student body
president and vice-president have evolved a system of activity
listing, which it is believed, will enable student leaders to dis
tribute the activity load evenly.
Most everyone agrees that a little “activities is a good
thing, but everyone is also agreed that too much activities is a
very bad thing. The happy medium seems to be that point
where the student carries both his scholastic and extra-curricula
interests successfully. When the studies begin to suffer, the
time has come to drop activities; but so often, to the student s
aerious detriment, the activities are carried and the studies
dropped. ... ,
With this goal in mind—to spread the activities evenly and
among as many persons as possible—the student officers, by
means of the questionaire filled out during registration, have
■^igted every person in ths University under those activities in
which they are interested. Under the proposed plan a running
record of each person will be kept, with the result that in no
case will too many “jobs” be heaped on one person.
While the plan is as yet imperfect because of lack of exper
ience on the part of those developing it, one may safely assume
that unusual success will result from the scheme, provided all
student leaders will lend their co-operation in making their
appointments.
A Fallacy in Evaluating
College Education
Material prosperity is the legacy of collegiate graduates,
according to an item in the “Intercollegiate World. Based
upon statistics of earnings of students and graduates of the
college of business administration of Boston University and
other colleges, the Massachusetts Department of Labor finds
that the four years spent in college net the average graduate
$72 000. Thev report the total earnings of the high school
graduate between the ages of 18 and 60 to $78,000, while the
college man’s earnings from 22 to 60 they estimate to be
$150,000. ’ ’
These figures are most encouraging to the faltering stu
dent who finds himself approaching graduation with nothing
ahead save for a few hundred dollars in debts. To find that
future security probably awaits him is anything but bad news.
While one would be delighted to accept the obvious con
clusion—that a college education insures later financial secur
Jty_.fi moment’s thought will indicate that a college education,
in all probability, does not raise the average man’s earning
power to the extent indicated. It is easy to believe that col
lege graduates earn $72,000 more than the high school grad
uates, but it is equally difficult to believe that the college edu
cation is the solitary reason for this state of affairs.
The statisticians apparently overlook the fact that college
graduates are. a highly selected group. In the first place, most
persons graduating from college have a reasonable amount oi
intelligence coupled with a fair amount, of perseverance. Also,
so have entered the University and to have studied four years
indicates a seriousness of purpose. In short, those who have
gone through college, in most cases, are more intelligent, more
persevering and more adjusted to their surroundings than most
persons who have gone only through high school.
Had these college graduates for various reasons been denied
matriculation in the University the ultimate result of their edu
cation and their apparent success in life and incidentally, their
income, would not have been altered to any great extent.
Whether in college or not, the qualities of perseverance, intelli
gence and ambition of these people would most likely have im
pelled them to overcome the deficiencies caused by a lack of
formal University education.
A University education is a source of untold pleasure and
benefit; but it is no magic carpet to success, as the statistics
would have us believe.

TO THE EARNEST THINKERS:
The Literati of the Campus:
You flood our thoughts when
Sherwood Anderson spoke recently.
Your puny persontlities paraded be
fore our eyes, and your color and
brash pretentiousness faded when
greatness spoke AMONG petty as
pirations and whining egos.
• * «
The chameleon is a licentious
reptile—it changes color without
consideration and without fear of
inconsistency, hence the speculative
rumination. The irony of the
people who try to be, and the peo
ple who are, is too great—we must
discuss it.
* * *
On the night of Sherwood Ander
son’s lecture the reiriark came to
the writer’s ear from some dotter
ing member of the silly sex that
Ainderson was mundane, bourgeoise,
and in short, an advanced product
of the times in which he lived.
* » *
Anderson doesn’t fight the herd;
he doesn’t run a studio; nor does
ho daub ham and eggs on. a dish
and imagine himself a Bohemian.
Ho has worked up to the herd, but
in doing so he has understood aind
interpreted those formative thoughts
that are traversing the minds of the
herd. In keeping neither behind,
nor too far before his age, Ander
son has retained the greatest of
all human greatness—humanity.
It’s rather an ambiguous way to
put it, but wo believe that it must
somewhere be said, that nature has
her hour of revenge on every one
who has sacrificed humanity to am
bition, whether ho wears the crown
of the tyrant or the halo of the
saint,
• * •
There is the greater man than
the great man—the man who is too
great to be great.
« • •
In all, we are just trying to ex
plain that a great man has passed
through a trade school whose great
code of ethies should be inscribed
over its great B..A. school in the
following characters: “Blessed is he
who makes two bankB of corn grow
where one bank of violets grew be
fore.”

The above paragraphs are just
the musings of a dyspeptic chame

men in the club’s pool.
Abercrombie has a numbe of rea
sons for worry about the coming
meet. Two of his best splashers,
Don McCook and Bob Gardner, are
being troubled with infection, and
probably will not be able to wear
the Lemon-Yellow colors in the
first meet of the aquatic season.
Another grief is the poor showing
the varsity swimmers made in the
preliminary tryouts last Friday
night.
Team Chosen Thursday
Next Thursday afternoon at five
o’clock, a final tryout will be held
in the men’s pool to determine
which men will make the trip to
Portland Saturday morning. At
7:15 Friday evening the intra-mural
swimming meet will also be held in
the Woman’s building tank at
which time the intra-house swim
ming championship will be decided.
A number of men now trying out
for varsity will participate in this
meet.
Ex-Varsity Men are With Club
In the Multnomah meet the var
sity will not be meeting a team of
mediocre aquatic artists, but swim
mers who have been swimming all
year and have participated in sev
eral inter-city meets. On the Club
men’s team are three former Ore
gon varsity swimmers. Getor/ge
Horsfall, one of the first men to win
the coveted lemon-yellow “O” in
swimming, is one of the Club’s star
performers. Ben Lombard and Art
Erickson, both members of last
year’s team, are also included on
the Winged “M” roster.
The final selection of the varsity
team will be after the final tryouts,
Thursday.
