Day Editor This Issue—Miriam Shepard Night Editor This Iaaue- Floyd Horn Aaaiatant Night Editors—Warren Tinker Glenn Gall WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1928 Envelope Sale Boosts Vital Need TiHE University is in need of bet ter infirmary and dispensary fa filities. Last year the adminstra tion requested an appropriation from the state legislature for the purpose of providing up-to-date and complete equipment for the care of stgdent health. The state budget', faced with a heavy deficit, could not care for the request and the plan was dropped by the university authori ties for the time being. The Women’s League is now spon soring the sale of stamped envelopes ’ to students wishing their grades sent to them during spring vacation. These envelopes carry a brief nota tion to the effect that a new infirm ary is needed. The slight profit to be derived from the sale of the en velopes will not begin to build an infirmary building, but if a large number of them are sent out through the state the need will be given beneficial publicity. —W. U. ! Devising Stunts For the Dunce Minnesota Daily. IT would seem that people are never so foolish us when trying i to attract public attention. !’ul)-| licity seekers have progressed stead ily from idiocy to Insanity in the past year and now the most absurd performance suffices them in their effort to make the front page. First it was the gentleman who Could drink so many- -we forget how many, but it was a fabulous number •—cups of coffee without bursting or overflowing. A large number of asylum candidates throughout our fair realm then proceeded to take away the gentleman's laurels by drinking an even more fabulous number of cups of coffee. There after came a craze for flag-pole sit - t'ng, and like owls on a roost, but with considerable less intelligence than any owl, people who desired eminence and distinction performed feats of endurance in warming the tops of flag-poles. Now it has come to looping-the-loop, and aviators in a mad rush for everlasting fame go dizzy making an incerdible number of loops. We have had long distance danc ers who won fat contracts by danc ing on and on, piano players who wore out their fingers playing con tinuously to break a meaningless record, wiener-champions who con sumed enormous quantities of saus age, frogs that stayed thirty-one years in a stone, prodigies who re mained awake for three of four days. The mute, inglorious Miltons have rebelled at. last and are tread ing fantastic paths of glory. We have little respect for the poo [ilc who acquire such doubtful dis tinction us this. They arc welcome to gifts of amazement and surprise that making a fool of one’s self has become so popular, but that is all. The sensation hunter has ceas ed to claim or deserve attention from any intelligent person. When fame ur notoriety rests on such a foundation, it is no wonder that the two terms become almost synony mous. We would suggest as a fitting cli max .that, all thp champions of. this and .that be dumped in 'the mhjdle of the.Atlantic and that the one who reaches land , first be given a piece of bone in the shape of a peanut. College Folk Improve Steadily California Daily Trojan. COHDltllrli; folks have boon accus o(l again of not thinking; not unusual, since plo that don’t know anything about it like to talk about our atrophied intelligence. But this criticism came from our midst, from one who has an oppor tunity to study the results of our mental labors. She thinks we have degenerated to a group of jokers. Well, maybe’ a good number do fill up the conversation with wise-cracks instead of ideas. But there never has been, and never will be, a day when every mind is busy. Then, the feature page is more apt. to see the jcltcs than the thoughts of the col lege community, for most contribut ors think that that section is in search of what is funny and enter ta i ning. Jt. would be difficult to convince us that children who were taught to l)e seen and not heard, and seen as little as possible, would do as much cogitating as those who were encouraged and trained from early childhood in the expression of their thoughts. Do you want proof that young people think better today? hook through a series of school an nuals, and note the constant im provement. Watch that, class where narration of text-book facts is for gotten while students propound the ories, make suggestions, and debate I on quest inns which the book does nut answer. (..'allege people eschew hairsplitting disagreements. They think in larg er, more universal terms. They make decisions more rapidly. Humor is often mingled in the expression of their ideas, but what better way is to In' found for winning an audi-1 ‘ ace? A larger number is thinking actively than ever before. Surely this generation will take a largo step forward, and make Us contri but ions to t lie world. Neither bribes nor bricks can] make us believe that college men and I women are not thinking.

L The other day a cop found an old wreck of a car parked on Thirteenth near the men’s gym. He stuck his head in the office door, looked sus piciously at “Abbic,” and then asked whose it was. Somebody con fessed and the cop replied, “Well, you better take it away. I don’t tag anything that isn’t worth over two dollars.

Chapter V left on Hist as police, armed with grappling hooks, were about to drag the stupor in search of his body. CHAPTER VI Moonlight and Roses The sun, just on the edge of tho horizon, slipped on a banana peel ing and disappeared behind the ant hills where it could be seen rolling in agony. The street car conductor gazed with tears in his eyes at the stove-lid somebody had handed him instead of a token. “Curse you, Charlie Ox," he bel lowed under his breath, but he had no more than bellowed this than the elevator iu which he was stand ing gave a lurch that threw him from the cockpit, out • over the perescope, clear of the caboose, and into the center of the street inter section. It was well onto nine o’clock that night before traffic eased up enough to enable his dog, Tin Pan Pan, to recover his body, lie was still alive; the ashes in his pipe still glowed.
