Day Editor This Issue—William Schulz# Night Editor This Issue— Rex Tussing Assistant Night Editors—Mil Prudhomme W. J. Loundagin FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1928 Concerts Point Way To a Millenium 1\/fUCH has been said and printed J. this year, during the analytical siege of colleges and universities, of the chasm between schooling and education. The most able minds of the country have been focused on the collegiate enigma; educators, philosophers, and journalists have all engaged in the probing inquiry: | What about the colleges'? Some flay the teaching methods, the unprepared students, the dom inance of oxtracurficulum activities.! Others impeach educational philo sophers and leaders as reactionary and superannuated by the progres-j sive impatience of their institutions. ! They all agree, however, that what-1 ever the cause, students are not, drawing on their available store of knowledge for their life needs and enjoyments. Whilo critics aro disposed to dis cuss the sort of undergraduate dual ism that prompts the student trt rea der unto his teacher those things which the teacher assigns and in his own life to recognize an entirely dif ferently acquired code, they do not notice an important compensating outgrowth. This is what wo may. call surreptitious education, or a genuine intellectual eagerness ox pressed according to the undirect ed dictates of its own tastes, or, lacking them, fancies. We. cannot help but particularly observe the series of student con certs which is in progress at the music auditorium, although we rec ognize that these could not be in cluded in the strictly spontaneous compensatory activities since they aro faculty inspired. Many music I lovers have found a peculiar satis faction in these unpretentious es says of the music majors. Hero is, indeed, a clear example of a bridge between schooling and education which wo began to seek at the outset and the ex istence of which is, in the main, ig nored by educational critics. Simil ar structures, we dare sav, can be discovered in most of the schools and departments on this campus. But We have selected this instance as outstanding in the correlation be tween formal instruction and life utility, in its value in self-education ’ to students and audience alike through an enjoyable method. When such zestful interest can be inducted generally into schooling—save the mark—the millenium of education will be just around the corner. What Definition Shall We Choose? NEWS dispatches of the past few days tend to indicate that the curricula of our institutions of higher learning ig to be again sub jected to the scrutiny of opponents of freedom in liberal education. The Rev. Fred J. Clarke lias been conducting revival meetings in the city of Grants Pass during the past week. Prominent among the re sults of his ecclesiastic labors wa3 the passing of several resolutions. One of the resolution passed by Rev. Clarke’s congregation read as fol lows: “We wish to express our high regard 'for the faculty and stu dents of all our state and public schools. Wo believe in an ade quate support for growing schools, and in a sane academic froedom. But we wish to go on record as protesting against tho bringing of such lecturers as Judgo Lindsey to our state supported schools, and against the inculcation of a nat uralistic or anti-Christian phil osophy in any class in any school supported by public taxation.” Tho Rev. Mr. Clarke will be’read ily recalled as the minister whose ill-considered fiery denunciation of Judge Lindsey on the morning be fore his scheduled lecture in the Woman’s building last fall proved to bo far moro sensational and spicy than was anything uttered by the former domestic relations magistrate during his hour and a half of har anguing a rather bored audience. lviiiiiy a (■ i?ulrovuimv wum in: eas ily settled if it wero possiblo to agree on the definitions of terms. In Ihis particular case, who is to decide just what constitutes “sane academic freedom ?” Who is to de cide that a certain philosophy is anti-Christian? Is it to bo decided in the light of tho doctrines of sectarian churches or that of the recorded words of Jesus Christ? Who will make the decision? We do not wish to study the theory of evolution or to learn about the philosophies by which man has lived through the ages in order that we may find an excuse to abandon our religion, but that we might learn something about this life in which religion plays a part. What so often is taken for a loss of religion is merely the breaking of the church-going habit, a thing that takes place because that which wo seek is not to be found in tho churches wo attend. The good faith with which the Grants i'ass peoplo subscribed to the resolutions is not to bo ques tioned; nor is it to bo considered a guarantee of wisdom. As students, we wish to have the opportunity to find things out for ourselves and not be mado to take tho word of men whose authoritativeness is not without qiuvsi uot.erll astaoihrdlun without question. Hearsay evidence is no better than no evidence at all. —W. C. Fraternity Average# Hasrd on New SyHtem VNlVKKStTV OF CALI FOKNIA. Feb. 17.— (F.l.I'.) Fraternity aver ages for members of the University of California iuterfrateruity eouu eil are luiw being based oil a new system recently adopted. The standing of each organization is based on the average grade point balance of its members. Their status mav be determined by the group iu which they fall. Group one includes those fraternities har ing an average of t> grade points above per man; group two an aver age of l to (! grade points per mau; group three, those from g to 1 grade points per man, and group t, those having from a straight “C” .average to The remaining or ganizations are below a ,,C” aver age. iVitli tliis new system iu the scholarship of a a variance fraternity will bo reflected by tho change from one group to another and will not bo dependent, as in the past, on tho scholarship of other fraternities. UNIYKHSITY OF CALIFOKNIA, Feb. 17.—P. I. P.—Prominent mili tary and navy men will attend the University of California's fifty-sixth annual military ball, to be held on February L’l, in Stephens Union. Peter lb Kyne, the author, who it also a major in the cavalry corps; Admiral Francis Washington, com mander of the Fourteenth Naval district, and (tenoral John A. Hines, commander of the Ninth Corps area, will be among the guests. The event is the fifty-sixth of its kind to be held on the campus. Tho ball will not be a strictly mili tary affair, as both tuxedoes and uniforms will be worn. TftSEVEN s SEERS GRETCHES', HEARING OF BAS KETBALL TEAMS PLATING BE HIND CLOSED DOORS, SAID, “WELL, YOU CAN’T BLAME THEM THESE COLD NIGHTS!” ♦id ROMANCE OF ANGLE WORM | TO BE RUN IN TEN PARTS i By contract with the renowned I author, I. Scream Cohn, the Seven Seers Column has scored another stupendous triumph in securing for early release the gripping serial, “ The Angle-Worm ’ s Revenge. ” You must positively read this thrilling, vibrant masterpiece of the century. Hear the trample of the mighty Alaskan mosquito herds, the crackle of the ice-packs in the Eu gene hospital, and the blood-curdling war-whoop of the Indian motor cycle. Tear yourself from this inert civi lization. Let the sea-winds in this novel bronze your cheeks and the red blood course more freely through your veins. Don’t miss it. Watch for it to morrow. It will be printed next week. TODAY’S GEOGRAPHICAL ANSWER “What part have you in the play?” “Dublin for the leading lady.” (And her laughter was as distant thunder in the Siskiyous). “Well I swan,” said the fancy diver as he jumped off the board. (News Item) Foot valued at over $500 was seized by burglars who early this morning ransacked a room of the Central Hotel in which Howard Smith was asleep.—Daily Times. These modern criminals are get ting awful. Wonder if they used an anaesthetic! ODE TO THE CAMPUS GARDENERS (Apologies to Honestly Inspired Authors) ‘‘They toil not, neither do they spin. They also servo who only stand and wait.” TODAY’S THRILLER Agnes Petzold sang at assembly yesterday and after she left the stage she went around to the hack of the room as though sire had just come in. The lady she sat by re marked, “It’s too bad you are late. The girl just finished singing and she sang beautifully.” SOLICITED COMMENT ON THE SEVEN SEERS We tliink that the column has a demoralizing eifeet on our inmates. One of them got up on tho top of a flagpole with a feather in each hand and jumped off, thinking he was a sea-gull. It drove another to eating railroad spikes and mule harness to aid his digestion which ho had ruined by devouring baked knot holes. We further believe that only avi ators whose parachutes have failed to open and veterans of the French and Indian war should be allowed to read it. Yours, STATE HOME FOR FEEBLE-MINDED MOUNTAIN TROUT. Johnnie Phibbs, flame - topped frosh at the Phi Delt Barn, has been one squelched baby the past week. Besides sneak dating up the mill race last Sunday night, he had the keys to the kitchen with him. On his return he was mobbed on masse'by the ravenous and half-starved broth r IS. VAMol'S LAST WORDS “What a beautiful thought.” • * * SEVEN SEERS CAMPUS ' , .Bulletin!'

Wakefield Burke, the full resounding name of a recent transfer to the University of South ern California here from the Uni versity of Chicago, may not mean very much to the average track fan now. It is fairly safe to assort that the aforesaid Mr. Burke will make his name known and honored before ho finishes at the Trojan school, however, for with about a week of training he stepped off the 440-yard dash in 50 seconds and turned right around and ran the half mile in 2:02. Ho will not bo eligiblo to represent the Trojans until the 1029 season. Vtmt tPrim, more Is all you need to pay for the world's finest pen! Here’s the world’s easiest writer due to Par ker Pressureless Touch! A fine ink channel ground between the prongs of the point brings capillary attraction to the aid of gravity feed, causing an immediate and steady ink flow at touch of point to paper. No pressure from the fingers. The light weight of the pen itself is sufficient. Here, too, is Parker Permanite Material — 28°/o lighter than the I rubber formerly used, yet | 100 times as strong. Parker Precision in manufacture still further insures accuracy. 5 flashing colors, 3 sizes of pen barrels, 6 graduated points, leave nothing to be desired in a fountain pen at any price. So pay $5 or $7 only to get a permanently satis factory pen. Pencils to match Pens, $3, $3.50, $4. Be careful to get the genuine. You'll know it by the imprint, “Geo. S.
