Many Marriages— But Not in College N'O LONGER may colleges be Stigmatized aB mere matrimonial marts. No longer may those young ladies who have filled their hope chests enter the co-educational es tate in search of the ultimate in conjugal objets d,art. At least not at Whitman college. President Ste phen B. L. Penrose and his faculty have seen to that. A letter from Dr. Penrose pub lished on the editorial page of a recent number of the Whitman Col lege Pioneer, student paper, reads as follows: A Letter From the President January 6, 1927 Editor of the Pioneer: I have been asked to give to the student body through the Pioneer the regulations of the faculty con cerning the marriage of under-grad uate students. The condition of each -student whether married or single must be made known to the faculty before registration. If a student, while an undergrad uate, marries without the knowledge and approval of the faculty ob tained in advance, he is immediate ly dropped from membership in the institution whether such marriage takes place during the college year or in vacation. Ho or she may only be registered as a member of the institution by the express permission of the Board of Deans after full knowledge of the circumstances. Stephen B. I.. Penrose. Seriously speaking and with all due respect to student liberty, the regulation may have its good points. Naturally, much depends 11(1011 its interpretations in actual practice. It- is, on the face of it, simply a -method of passing the buck to avoid any possible parental censure of the college administration. The letter makes no reference to the possibil ity uf both parties being legally of ■age. To prevent a marriage under such a circumstance would, of course, be despotic Idiocy. Preven tion on sucli grounds as immoral in fluence on the student body, lack of finances 011 the part of the foiul couple, or the possibility of an infel icitous effect on their opportunity for study would be equally ill-con sidered. These things depend whol ly upon the personal equation which, unfortunately, even college profes sors are unable to accurately eval uate.—H. A. Reading as A Fine Art WE ARE interested to discover that the editorials in this col umn have proven “entertaining and more or less useful,” as our corres pondent puts it. From our point of view we return the compliment, but retain the privilege to disagree and correct from our lofty eminence the suggestions made in the communica tion from C. G. B. We highly recommend the spirit of research that our communicant evinces and we submit that it is the proper spirit for a university type of man. It is true, that a student may have interests which he pur sues in ucnance or tne present or any other system of education, but we aro quite sure that C. G. B. is earnest and anxious to learn those things which a University should by its nature teach. His suggestion is good but it does not go far enough in the direction in which it starts. The difficulty which he has raised requires a more thorough-going rem edy than the one he has outlined. Ilis suggestion that knowledge of astronomy is necessary before a man can fconsider himself educated is important in its implications. In our society there is not enough pre mium on knowledge for itself. One who wishes to know something which has no apparent practical bearing is looked upon as queer. The spontaneous love of new in sights is killed in the raw youth, who is told by the world to bo prac tical, by which is meant: determine how much money there is in it. There is a plan in use at various colleges in this country which per mits students who havo shown spe cial aptitude greater opportunity to do the work in which they are most interested. This very sort of plan is being advocated on the campus at the present time by an independent investigation committee. The student who has once par taken in the joy of learning will feel very kindly disposed toward such a plan. For those who have never en joyed this pleasure, we can only recommend it as a future de light. We do not intend to go into a rhapsody on the beauties and pleasures of the life intellectual. It, like virtue, is its own reward. We conclude that it is a good idea to think. Our friend of the commun ication is decidedly on the right track. Our library is rather com plete and the librarians are very helpful. A revival of the fashion of rending as a tine art instead of as j a means to an ulterior end is the I need of the day. Let us watch the | coming of the new dawn.—I'. T. Commun ications Mi The Student's Problem Mr. Editor: Upon perusiug one of your en tertaining and more or less useful editorials, headed, "It Should be Hone but How.” ] was inspired to attempt an answer to the question. As you point out in your august manuscript, it would be impossible justly to limit the educational fa cilities of the state university to that minority of the student body which you somewhat vaguely term “students.” The “studier” must be allowed to pursue his intellectual happiness, and the “pupil” must have his education injected into him whether he likes it or not. The question then is, “How can the student be permitted to shape his own education and garner his own learning without interfering with the progress of the studier and the student?” There can bo no doubt that many of ns are possessed with a desire at times to inform ourselves on some topic not included in our regular curricula. For instance, I myself have long had a desire to delve into the mysteries of radio, to learn of the principles that make the blamed thing work. A friend of mine wishes to kndw something about astronomy. It is probable that this sought after information, if obtained, would benefit the student far more than required work in subjects se lected bv his major professor. But with our present 15 to IS ' hour courses, time does not permit the youthful knowledge seeker to go off on such useful tangents. If he does so, he must do it at. the expense of his required lessons. Why not instigate a course of, sav, one to three hours credit, which we might call research for want of a better name. Let it count toward a degree or graduation whether or not it fits nicely into the student’s major. Let the student taking research spend his three to 9 hours a week which he would ordinarily spend on a one to three hour elective,—let him spend this time in reading up on any subject chosen by himself, or in working experiments connected with the subject, or in any way he chooses, so he increases his know ledge of the subject. Hequire him to write a monthly paper on the Tk SEVEN SONG OF THE WEEK “DRINK TO ME ONLY WITH THINE EYES,” BY A. E.

Sonia Wilderman doing Juliet from the porch of the student body offices to subject, including at the end of the term, a complete outline of the term’s work. Grade him entirely on the showing made in the monthly papers. Make the grading sufficient ly rigid to prevent “pupils” to elect the course as a “pipe,” and require i the term papers to show conclusive ly that the student has spent a rea sonable amount of time on his sub ject. Take the case of the chemistry student, for example, who wishes to learn something of astronomy; not j all the details perhaps, such as he I would obtain bv taking the regular ! astronomy courses which would oc- 1 eupy several hours of his time every ' day for several terms, but only a rudimentary knowledge of the sub ! | jeet such as every man ought to J have but many lack. Let him elect astronomy as his research subject, and substitute it for some useless elective with which his program is now encumbered. Let him spend his time reading about the subject, or, if he chooses, let him build a home-made telescope and get his knowledge first-hand. In other words, prescribe the object alone; that the student increase ma terially his knowledge of astronomy, and make the method of doing this entirely optional with the student. It might be that it would be found necessary to increase the reference facilities of the library a great deal, and obtain quite a number of up-to-date books, but the present Oregon library is far below the av erage for schools of this size and needs increasing anyway.

Dr. Reinhardt described education as a thing that can neither be bought nor sold, but which can be earned by those who are earnest in their efforts. She declared that she had no use for education for edu cation’s sake alone, and said that education was for the purpose of making wisdom of learning, *and merely gives the capacity to learn. The tafternoon session was also addressed by President Arnold Ben nett Hall, who told the organizatiop that to his mind the two most im portant debts of a state institution were the education of the boys and girls in the habits of intellectual be havior, and the conducting of and development of research.

(William Allen White In the Emporia Gazette) “Why do you want to go to Pink University instead of Blue Col lege?’ ’ ‘ ‘ Because it is a better school. ’ ’ “Why?” “Because they have better men on their faculty.” “ Well, that may be, but I no tice Blue College boys always beats them in football.” And this is the whole trouble in a paragraph. Something is in the air this season which may be the beginning of the end for college football. Never has the game at tracted bigger crowds. Never has it received more eolumns of news paper space. Never have coaches been paid higher salaries than they have this season. And never have the football heroes been more dis cussed. It is the crest of the wave, and from now on college football probably will hit the down-grade. It will take 10 years, possibly 15, for it to get back to its proper place in the sphere of college activities, but slowly and surely it is going. A football team which hitherto has been regarded as the best ad vertisement of a small college, has grown to such proportions that is overshadows the college, cutting it off from the public interest. The colleges are attracting, not scholars but athletes. And college men and women are beginning to realize this. College football is getting about as much space in the papers this month as the world’s series does. There is every reason why people should b;e interested in football. It is a fine, clean, healthy spOTt. But suppose now that the world’s series games were tied onto the colleges in the same way that football is saddled onto them. Suppose that the high-priced baseball managers were hired by colleges, that Yale owned the Cardinals and Princeton owned the Giants. Pew people who would deny that this situation’ would be harmful to the colleges, would burden them unnecessarily and would detract public interest from the real things these schools are doing to the activities of tberr teams. There is a certain parallel be tween the University of Kansas and the Kansas Legislature, in that brain-work is assumed to go on in each. Supposing now, that during each session of the Legislature, the members organized a football team,, built a stadium on the capitoi grounds, scheduled games with the Legislatures of Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. These games un doubtedly would overshadow the legislative work. The "coach” of each Legislature would be going round to the different counties urg ing that strong men be elected to the Legislature, and, of course, a ferocious howl would go up from the taxpayers. The reason that sup porters of schools do not give vent to an equally outraged yell is that college football has grown slowly and imperceptibly. There is no reason why both leg islators and college men should not take exercise, but there is every reason why neither should en gage in public gladiatorial combats before packed arenas. This year the colleges are beginning to realize this. The tail has begun to wag the dog furiously this season, and this humiliating fact has at last come home to the dog.

The Noted Voice of Rothier is Safeguarded by Smoking Lucky Strike —Because “It’s Toasted” THIS favorite of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York City, Leon Rothier, like other men whose voices are their fortunes, seeks two merits in a cigarette— greater enjoyment and throat protection. Lucky Strikes have become the favorites of men whose {jriceless voices thrill audiences, as they have with the mil ions, because, first, they afford greater enjoyment, and, second, they are certain not to irritate even the most sensitive throat. The world’s finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, properly aged, perfectly blended, give them their richer flavor. But in addition, a costly extra process—toasting for 45 min utes—develops the hidden flavors of the choicest tobaccos and at the same time removes all “bite” and harshness. Smoke Lucky Strikes.
