The Paternalists Again
Make Matters Worse
Disregarding the supposedly
altruistic motives that guided
the faculty, students at tho Uni
versity of Chicago have openly de
fied an official order prohibiting
them from , attending out-of-town
football contests.
The attack was led by the Daily
Maroon, undergraduate newspaper,
which announced that “when the
football team goes to Philadelphia
the students will accompany them,
all faculty edicts notwithstanding.”
We have not yet learned what pen-,
alty, if any, this editorial stand
drew.
At Hanover college, Hanover, Ind.,
success crowned a student strike pro
testing against efforts to enforce a
6 o’clock curfew rule. A faculty
measure ordered women students to
be in their dormitories by 6 p. m.
on week days and 10 p. m. on week
ends.
The result of the strike was closer
undergraduate organization and as
a consequence full student govern
ment is about to be established.
So the faculty paternalists have
gotten into trouble again. While
they may have meant well, their
methods have been anything but
reasonable.
The Chicago jiroblem was the out
growth of au attempt to provont stu
dent. drinking. It has been held that
as soon as they leave tho campus to
attend athletic contests in other
towns, tho students proceed to pass
into a state of complete intoxica
tion. The faculties seem to have
been satisfied that their control is
binding while tho students remain
on the campus, and that, drunken
ness is the immediate result of let
up of supervision.
Many plans have been advocated
for meeting tho problems. Several
institutions are trying the plan of
having the first team play the op
posing second team at home, and the
second team playing tho opposing
team away from home, or visa versa.
The loop-hole is plainly visible.
Of course the students will not ro
nmin in the college town while tho
first team is playing in some other
town. Would it have been possible
to keep Illinois students at homo
while “Red” Grange was playing at
Auu Arbor?
Follow the oven more severe Chi
cago stylo and order the students
to remain on the campus whether
or not there is a home contest. What
is the result? Tho students rebel],
and we daresay there is more drink
ing now than there ever lias been
previously.
Anyone but the misguided patern
alists could have recognized the
weakness of the solution from the
start. Now it. has been so clearly
demonstrated that there, can bo nc
questioning even on their part.
If drinking is the outgrowth oi
intercollegiate ^athletics, tho solu
lion is most simple—abolish th(
sports. No half-way measures wil
be effective.
Hut, is drinking the outgrowth oi
navel to attend sporting events 1
'We do not believe so, although we
cannot attempt to find the basic rea
son. This much is evident—the
problem is a case of individuals.
The men wno drink while off the
campus, whether at an athletic con
test or elsewhere, drink on the cam
pus. Imbibing in private, their ac
tions are known, or at least are
visible to few. Except on “state
occasions” campus drinking is not
a wholesale affair. But get all the
drunks together at one time, and
then you have a spectacle.
That’s what happens when the
whole campus journeys together.
You have tho drinkers in one group.
They are the same men who drink
in privacy while in tho college town.
On trips they drinl^ together. That’s
all.
If Chicago university officials, or
those of any other school, really
know what is happening around
them (and they claim to) they are
pits well acquainted with this condi
tion as every drinking student. They
know that it is a case of individuals,
and that the man who doesn’t drink
on the campus won’t drink while
away, with very few exceptions.
And they know too that they have
been mighty ineffective in treating
the matter at its source.
They may persuade the public to
believe that they can keep the boys
within the law whilo they have them
at college, but that evil follows as
soon as they let them off the campus.
We doubt that they can do this. The
public usually believes that tho ac
tion of tho boys off the campus is
typical of what they do on the cam
pus. And they are right. On and
off campus capers are simply the
differences between scattered and
j collective drunks.
mo patornausts liavo botched
matters again. It is tiresome to seo
them chasing in circles and shout
ing their heads oil when they know
they are aggravating nono too pleas
ant conditions.
They have started out on a great
reform movement and have through
misdirected efforts antagonized the
students and gained nothing that is
visible. It is the same in the curfew
case referred to. The students have
organized, and it seems highly im
possible that any moro faculty ed
icts will amount to anything more
! than the first.
1 Why don’t the paternalists come
to life and realize that their grand
mother methods are senseless and re
sult in resentment only?
liringiug Debate Out of
'/'he Depths of Lottie
jTXSTKAO of the customary dry
logic—imagination, wit and phil
osophy are likely to play a leading
part; in tonight’s debate between
the University's speakers and the
(Sydney, Australia, representatives
at the Methodist church.
The visitors, fortunately, differ
from most American debaters in
that they do not enter the contest
with the feeling that on their argu
ments rests the solution of a vital
problem. They know that if they
are upheld by the judges in their
,contention that the prohibition law
should be repealed, the immediate
i. suit w ill not be repeal of the law.
I'sing the Oxford pattern, they
prefer the informal, good-natured
an l temperate style of argument.
The contest will probably be far
above the usual dull and dry plane.

This section today is devoted to
freshmen, but contains suggestions
for upperclassmen. Look at the fol
lowing news item from the Indiana
“Daily Student:”
“The Betas have ordered 100
paddles from a nearby mill, in pre
paration for this year’s work. The
Sigma Chi’s and A. T. O.’s evidently
do not believe in such strenuous
education, for they have ordered
only 30 paddles each.
“Altogether, more than 400 pad
dles have been -ordered by campus
organizations, the mill officials re
port.”

The next clipping isn’t exactly
appropriate after the above, but it
