But when the leading American exponent of the gutter press, to whom only the sordid is news, paints the universi ties as centers of vice and immor ality, even the most scorching crit ic of these same universities is jus tified in rising in anger. If it were anyone elso than Ber narr Macfadden who started the old immorality tune again we would be inclined to ignore it. But it’s hard to accept such an indictment from tho New York Graphic. This famed tabloid, which carries at the top of its front page tho as suring caption, “Nothing but the Troth,” announces that, the stud ents in our colleges are getting “an education in vice.” Surprising, though, that Mr. Macfadden is not referring to matters extra-curricu lar. “Under tho guise of ibiology and psychology,’’ he writes, “college professors teach so-called ‘ free love’ and ‘self-expression’ . . . And when the doctrine of free love is paraded under the banner of sci ence, and assisted by booze, the un doing of tho young is to bo expect ed.” A Chicago society queen reports in the same article, “all I got out of my college life was a knowledge of petting parties, gin and night life.” But Mr. Macfadden shouldn’t complain. If all this didn’t take place what excuse would there bo for his great daily and his truth telling magazines that, wo suppose, are warnings to the young? In fact it might seem that colleges exist only to deprave the young so that Mr. Macfadden may have some thing to tell about in his publica tions so that more young people may read and go to college to become depraved and supply more copy for liis publications and so on ad in finitum. Outside of wondering where in all I I nurgess (Contimwii from paoe one) improvement of every kind is the work of the American mission in Kfiypt. All 'Vmoricnn activities are con sol ifin ted under the United Pres byterian eliureh of North America. We , visited the principal college under this mission, Assiut College, at Assiut, under the aide presidency of l'r. O. P. Russell, who has de grees from Princeton and Chicago. Dr. Russell and liis wife are rela tives of Hr. Bruce ,T. Giffen of West minster house, Eugene. This college provides, besides its arts course, a fine scientific train ing for young men who go into pro fessional schools. Many of its grad uates are doctors; some are min isters, teachers, dentists, etc. Be gun in a donkey stable, it has grown to an enrollment of 750, and is 60 per cent self supporting, which is more than can be said for most American colleges. The girls’ schools are separute. There aro about 200 schools in Egypt under 1 the supervision of the American Mission board. A month in Egypt gives one a tremendous respeet for the found ers of western civilization who wrought so marvelously in their isolated Nile valley: it gives one a America may bo found college pro fessors brave enough to teach free love, and the location of the terrible terrible colleges mentioned in the printed paragon of virtue owned by Mr. Macfadden, ew are inclined to say, “ho hum.” But more, we can’t help wonder ing at this man who cries about im morality in the colleges witli the voice of the savior of youth and at the same time empties the world’s sewers into his own publi cations. Talking of double-standards: here’s the prize-winner. The Bond Between Student and Laborer (Marvara (jrimson.J WHEN the .Nation announced two years ago that it would of fer a prize for the best essay writ ten by a college student who had spent his summer vacation as a la borer, cither agricultural or indus trial, there was a tendency among pessimists to look suspiciously on the project. Would the result be su percilious froth or personal revela tions? It happened that the result was neither; it was an account of a girl’s life in a factory, and it was dono in the spirit of a human being, not as a roformer. Last year the contest was repeated, and a simi lar essay won the prize. The stud ents had managed to leave their classroom attitude in the class room—and they wcro accepted by their follow workers as equals. While the very fact that these articles wcro prizo winners indi cates that they wore above average, their general character showed that the student realized himself to be other than a being sot apart from manual workers. There was a cer tain amount of literary skill dis played in the papers but their chief merit was in their universal atti tude, one which, it had been claim ed, was impossible under the pres ent system of American education. The Nation, which again declares its intention of holding the contest again, may not succeed in its aim of obtaining a student “interpreta tion of the industrial situation” but it will find, as before, that the bond between academic students and laborers is not. entirely asun dor. Adaptation to a new environ ment is one of the fundamentals of j education. To put it into practice I is one of the objects of student i workers. i liking for many of the ways of the people, a conception of the magni | tilde of Egypt’s problems, and an ; appreciation of the advantages en joyed in our own homo land. MORGANTOWN, W. Vn.—(IP)— For the second time, the West Vir ginia players have won the Cum nock cup and a $11(111 cash prize in the national intercollegiate one act play contest held recently at North western university. The group pre sented “Valiant”. Two years ago the West Virginia dramatists won the contest with their presentation of “Riders to the Sea.” ST. PAUL, Minn.—(IP)-—In spite of faculty orders to the contrary*, more than forty male students at Hamline university here staged their customary spring pajama par ade last week. The dean of women put in an alarm for the police as soon as she discovered the men in their gay “nighties,” but the of ficers of the law refused to re spond. MINN EAOPLIS, Minn.—(IP') — As a result of the governor’s veto of over $1100,000 in the appropria tions of the University of Minne sota for the coming year, it is ex pected that the university will be forced to raise its tuition fees next j year.

ATHENS, Ohio—(IP) -Freshmen at Ohio university have announced that they will no longer obey upper classmen rules, following a fresh victory over the sophomores in a tug-of-war held here last week. The tug-of-war grew out of a free for-all held on the streets of Athens last week, when several students were injured after the second year men had attempted to force the yearlings to obey fresh traditions. The faculty ruled out the street fighting as a means of settling the dispute, and the rope pulling was substituted. The freshman have taken their victory to mean that they are free to do us they please. Clouds Threatening 'Asia and Pacific9 Course9 Professor Voices Protest Impending East-West Crisis Focuses Eyes of World On Orient, Making Information Vital Is the course in ^‘Asia and the Pacific” to be dropped from the curriculum? “It may be better to study the Orient before a military crisis arises out of Chinese confusion or Jap anese ambition,” said Walter Barnes, professor of history, who has been teaching the course. “When the Lusitania was sunk in 1915, the military unpreparedness of our country was nothing compared with the dismal intellectual unpre paredness of our intelligentsia—so we stumbled into the war and into the European muddle that followed. “China and Japan are obviously the most important nations of Asia, and since the war, the United States is-in some ways the leading western nation. One would think that trans pacific relations would be especially important to people on this coast,” he continued. “Think of American technical skill combined with Chi nese labor! “Then too, of the living cultures of the world, China and Japan offer two of the oldest and richest. They have piled up many centuries of philosophy, literature and art. Also, on* our own campus, the Murray Warner Oriental collection, said to be the largest and best west of the Mississippi, is certainly a great op portunity. Even the cultural side ought to figure in a university. “The course, as I devised it, has sketched the historical growth of Chinese and Japanese character, surveyed the present conditions, and studied the relations of Europe and ourselves with the Orient. It is a brief course,” he explained, “and must naturally neglect all details about literature on one side and for eign markets on the other. “The students in class have seemed convinced of the importance of these studies, but the subject does not easily make a wide appeal. It is hard to imagine Californians sending their sons on travelling fel lowships to study some years in Can ton or Tokio. Even our small text book orders to San Francisco are always referred to the Eastern of fices, so it would seem that the peo ple of Boston and Philadelphia are more willing to read about the Ori ent than we are. When the German danger increases, the French study more and more about Germany. We still ignore the Orient and leave it to Providence to determine our re lations and guide our policy there. If we saw this passive attitude in Mesopotamia, we would call it ‘Mo hammedan fatalism.’ But the indul gent observer of the campus would probably say, ‘Never mind. Let us play, loaf and be merry, for tomor row we may graduate.’ “The history department is going to be short-handed next year. In stead of having the money for the long-hoped-for specialist in Oriental culture, the department is losing Dean Sheldon’s course in World History. So it is a question of how our time should be divided. The class in Asia and the Pacific has numbered 30, just normal for an upper division course; but the Ori ental culture course is far from the fields in which we were trained and if it is not going to reach any more students than any other upper divi sion course, there seems no quite adequate reason for giving it.” Theaters „ MeDONALD: Last day: Second Anniversary week program: Laura LaPlante in “The Love Thrill,” with Tom Moore and Bryant Wash burne, in a merry mixture of love, laughs and life insurance with more rib tickling situations than a cen tipede has pedal extremities; also, the last of those delightful com edies of college capers, “The Col legians,” with.

Coming (Monday)—Dorothy Gish in “London,” a tale of love and in trigue amid the fogged mysteries of the Limehouse district, adapted from the novel by Thomas Burke, author of “Broken Blossoms,” and many other fascinating stories of the Eng lish “bowery.” (Soon) “Don’t Tell the Wife,” with Irene Rich and star cast. • • • COLONIAL: Last day: Constance Talmadge and Ronald Colman in “Her Night of Romance.” Connie's back, spreading laughs again—and showing just how funny romance can be. Also cornedv and news reel. COLUMBUS, Ohio—(IP)—One of (Ohio State’s oldest traditions was I put in tho discard when President Oeorjje W. Rightmire issued the or j dor that "any man who is in any i way connected with throwing a freshman in the lake, by force, will sever his connections with this uni versity. ' ’ For years it had been the custom of the Bucket and Pipper, whose duty it was to enforce freshman regulations, to throw disobedient frosh into the lake in the center of the campus. In taking his stand against this form of hazing, the president de clared that no one group has a right to force another group to do any thing which it does not want to do. A student has a right to do as he pleases. Dr. Rightmire said, so long as he does nothing wrong, and the personal liberty of the student must not be interferred with.
