Outgrowing The Rules (Columbia Spectator) TIME and again foreign customs have been introduced into a community only to disappear after the novelty has worn off. Quite often ancient practices have van ished because the newer generation has changed considerably and finally revolted against obsolete institu tions. A custom cannot be trans planted from one country into an other with any hope of surviving unless the two nations concerned are inhabited by people of similar tastes. In a like manner, a practico that has grown up with a commun ity cannot successfully be retained unless the people of tho later ago are of the same tendencies as those who have preceded them. An institution fostered by Amer ican colleges is now being attacked. The advisability of continuing fresh man hazing is being questioned. It is curious to note that tho “small town colleges” that are still popu lated by students akin in nature to the founders of the custom have as yet no thought of abandoning the practice. It is only in the larger colleges that have attracted a cos mopolitan student body that resent ment is growing. Many of these •tudents live at home and liavo not the interest in tho college that a resident would have. Some of theso have already discarded freshman rules, many of them now experienc ing the same difficulties as Columbia in forcing them upon students en tirely dissimilar in nature with those who established them generations ago. If the trouble with the whole sit uation is that Columbia has changed so in character that the spirit of the rules is now alien to the student nature, then tho time has come to abolish the practice. There is ab solutely no uso in trying to pre serve an institution because it has come down to us from the venerable past. Is This What We Call Habit? (Minnesota Daily) T TABIT is a strange and powerful •“••■•thing, psychology teaches, and psychology seems to lie upheld ouco more. A Daily reporter sat down for a few moments recreation the other day, At random ho selected the . Commun ' ications 6n A. S. tf. 0. Finances To the Kilitor: Perhaps the basis of the contro versy regarding A. S. lT. O. finan cial matters is inadequate publicity by the finance committee. It' such is the case the finance committee receives with shame all the abuse anyone wishes to heap upon its shoulders. Here are a few facts that might be used as fodder for a future verbal fusiluge. The day following the last student body meeting tiie treasurer of the Associated Stu dents, Mr. [ . II. Johnson, comp troller of the Vnivcrsitv, issued a printed A. S. U. O. financial report. Three copies were sent to each or ganized group 'house and copies were distributed from the graduate manager's office. This contained the complete financial information of the student body. The entire registration fee of $18.75 does not go to the Associat ed students. Five dollars is used solely for actual buildings and has the status of a University fee. Four bound volume of The Minnesota Daily for 1917 from the files. Here is what he found: A news story commenting on the agitation which followed a sermon in January for that year by W. B. ltiley, accusing the University of “having no longer conservative re ligious speakers and of denying the old type sermons” at chapel. In defense, The Daily cited the number of conservative men and orthodox pastors who had been heard at chapel in that year, and commented editorially that Dr. Riley had shown himself to be “a press agent of no mean ability.” The editorial went on to disparage the “too-marked tendency to make the University a butt for sensation al stories of all kinds.” Dr. Riley’s answer to The Daily was to an nounce as his Sunday night’s sermon topic: “Has the State University Become a Hotbed of Heterodoxy?” The Daily’s reply to the pastor’s counter-attack was the statement that “the title of the sermon was more sensational than the sub stance.” With that the incident ended. Strange parallel, this! That was 1917. Today, like the seven-year itch, (except that Dr. Riley’s great est areas of low pressure seem to run in decade intervals) we have Dr. Riley with us again, this time pleading with the legislature to bar the teaching of evolution in tho University. Yet, in spite of Dr. Riley’s ac cusations, of un-orthodoxy in 1917 the University took steps a few years later to free higher education from the entanglements of religious controversy, sectarian differences and the like, by doing away with chapel. Today, Dr. Riley, is back on the saw-dust trail, attempting with all the powers of oratory, bias and dogma to rescramble education, sci ence, and all the branches of higher learning in one conglomerate mess flavored by his own particular brand of religious belief. Our readers will pardon us, we hope, for attempting to read into the similarity of the incident of ten years ago and the one of today something optimistic for the chances of education in the debate now be fore the legislature. Education and thought and truth have always tri umphed, somehow, despite, the “be lieve-as-I-do” demands of witch burners and inquisitionists. Let us devoutly hope that history, that science of the recording of progress despite reaction, will run true to form and again repeat itself. But, as we started out to re mark, habit is a strong thing, and ten years are as naught to a reason such as Dr. Riley’s. We can only wonder what 1927 will bring forth." 1 dollars goes to the general fund, seventy-five cents to the Emerald, and fifty cents is the music tax. I Thus $5.25 helps to carry on glee \ vlubss, orchestra, baud, all sports, i Emerald, lecture series, Women’s 1 Tjaguo, W. A. A. debating and other 1 activities. It is Interesting to note that the Emerald, Orogana, and football were the only self support ing activities last year. Also that of the $155,623.90 received last year $32,095.55 was from fees. More than $100,000 was received exclusive of fees. The first of the year when the budget was adopted by the Execu live Council for the balance of the year, the semi-annual statement was included with the proposed appro priations. Such information was available and is available to any one interested. It is also interest ing to note that in the above budget j the A. S. IT. O. is carrying about i $17,000 additional expenses this year. If anyone is interested in these financial matters they are at liberty to appear before the finance com mittee, which meets every Tuesday at eleven o’clock in the Administra t tion building. However, during the last two years that I have been on the committee no one has ever ap peared to seek information other What would become of the fur trappers if it wasn’t for institu tions of “higher learning?” Following are a few suggested changes to be incorporated in adopt ing the honors system: 1. Students with honors shall be dismissed from the University after the first two years to make room for those less brilliant ones who really need the education. 2. Street cars still having flat wheels after the first two years shall be automatically ruled off the campus. 3. Dismissal of all professors when there are only honor students at the University whose class at tendance is purely optional. Gretchen says they are so modest at her sorority that they wear bath ing suits to take showers in. • • * The cuts that appear in today’s column were made possible by a benefit dance which failed to mater ialize. • » * FASHION NOTE BEE HARDEN came forth in a new pair of bine and sand socks yesterday.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS “Mav I borrow your notes to night?” than to ask for money. During the last year no one outside of the Ex ecutive Council has asked the grad uate manager for specific informa ! tion relative to A. S. U. O. financial matters. Tt leads one to believe that i the students are either satisfied or are indifferent. Certain institutions seem to run on hot air, some people use buttons for money but the finance committee has found that it takes good hard cash to make possible the fifty-seven activities of the student body. We are doing our best and we do it with the utmost sincerity. Yours very truly, ROBERT LOVE, Chairman A. S, U. O.
