Night Editors Thin Issue—Jo Barry Dulcie Lytsell A Crowded Hall For Today’s Report 'T'lJE activities of 1 lit; eonsti tutioiial revision committee which lias been at work oil the campus for the last week will be made public at a student body mecling today. Certain facts can be deduced concern ing Hie report of this group, although its work has been kept Secret. One fact that is certain is that the committee considered suggested reforms in the organization of the ma chinery of student government, particularly in regard to the bulkiness of the student council and the desirability of appoin tive editorship for the Oregana and the Emerald. No matter what decision the constitutional revision commit tee may have come to in re gard to these - and probably other—problems, its report will be one of vital concern to every student on the campus. The study was conducted because the present student regime realized that the average stu dent has neither the time nor 11n; absorbing interest in stu dent policies to undertake such extensive research as was nec essary to give the problem just considerat ion. A packed ball should greet the committee when it presents its conclusions.

It is planned to have the mothers here for the entire Junior Weekend program, May 10 to 12. In the news columns is a story giving the program and t he plans for I he week end.

Collapse of a Brain Tournament 'TMIK intellectual competi tion, enthusiastically lami ehed a year ago by Harvard and Vale, will Hot be continued this year. So far as Yale is concerned, it got no thrill out of making especial preparation for an event which for Har vard undergraduates was but part of routine. Hut, more serious t ha 11 I hat, no ot her col llege has been willing to enter a race for the all-American j brain championship. Princeton, Dartmouth, and t’atnbridgc, England, according to eastern newspapers, have formally de clined. The Mold you so brigade will now have its innings, though it deserves no particu lar credit for perspicuity. It was a foregone conclusion that the academy could not hope to compete wit h t he a t Idct ie field in I he contest for popular ac claim. Nor ought it to be e\ j peeted to do so. since its mo tives arc so essentially differ ent. Then* is an impassable gulf between summa emu laude and the laudation the multi I t tide bestow s on a whin ing foot - ball eleven, nor does the same type of man equally enjoy both. 1 Abandonment of the bright boy contest does not, however, point to decline of interest in J learning, as some have super ficially assumed. It is rather an indication of the unsuita- - bilily of the standards of one < vocal ion as applied to allot her. > Scholastic achievement max be. 1 frequently is. its own reward; 1 but what avail is a touchdown 1 in the absence of the plntidi tory multitude.

A Satire : By Wilfred Brown BOOK lit (Continued) bite clay, after Student lind dwelt in till' house of the Gamma brother hood for many weeks, he felt some person lay a heavy hand upon his shoulder as lie strolled along the road, thinking of nothing. lie turned and beheld the Sage Ambi tion. AMB1TIO.V: My son, why fur riest thou here in the Land of Col legia? KnoW'cgt thou not that the Golden City of Education, which thou s'eekest, lieth many leagues ahead along this road? STUDENT: Aye, sire, but be hold, I am joined unto the Gamma brotherhood, the upper tenth of the upper tenth of the pilgrims who enter into this land. Soon shalt we all set forth and arrive at the Golden City of Education doubly ipiickly because id' the superior in tellectual plane of the group. AMBITION: O my son, why didst I forget to warn thee against the Grecian dens which operate in this land. Knowest thou not that few are the pilgrims who enter into the Grecian dens and ever arrive at the Golden Cily of Education? Look, my son, see yon l>athw:ty that leads winding off from the back of the row of the Grecian manor houses. That is the pathway in variably followed by those »ho would reach the City of Education from the dens. It leadeth not to the Golden City of Education, but is rather a branch of the Pathway of Pleasure, which thou quitted many weeks past, and leadeth eventually along tho sluggish Hivcr Of Forget fulness into the dank Valley of Illiteracy, where dwell the Morons and the Submerged Tenth. O I beseech thee, my son, quit this Grecian den ami take up once hiore this straight find narrow- pathway which leadeth ultimately to the Golden City of Education, situated at tlic hither boundary of the Happy Laibl of Collegia. STCDENT: Sire, I have long felt like doing as thou hast counseled hie, but have dared to do nought. 1 shall go. So, in my dream, I saw Student quit the pathway Which led past tho Grecian manor houses and once again follow the straight but dusty one which leads in the direction of tho faraway spires of tho Golden City of Educatioii.

The glass of milk is to wash down “Though This l?e Madness.” Honestly, this book is one of the best sleep-producers on the present market. Starting in with a bold-headed little Jinglish school-master ,with ideas a little too big for both him self and his generation, the story winds somnolently along through his quiet and polite adventures both in England and in Tunis, until the hero’s mother dies and he returns to his native country. The first two chapters are per fectly readable, but the author, un able to maintain the almost melo dramatic degree of interest he has instilled in the story, falls down at this point, from tiler fe oil the in terest declines rapidly. One feels that tilings are going to perk up alblig in the middle, for a lady named Martha is introduced. This lady named Martha is a per son with very, vert- broad views upon some certain questions of con ventionality, and her entrance cer tainly appears promising. But it isii’t . . . Well, it’s a dull novel, and one really shouldn’t expect very much. There is some “small amount of quiet humor sprinkled about, but fpr the most part, the- huinor is sO very quiet that# it is practically si lent, except for one line. I’d quote that line, but it Would spoil the whole tiling for you. WHAT.. . They Say << A WOMAN in politics needn’t be ;t ‘feminist.’ Her duty as a politician is not to contrast herself with her masculine col leagues. Nor should she take it upon herself to represent only femi nine interests.”—Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, congresswoman, in the S. f\ Chronicle. '<TN EUROPE we have all been pagans at some time or other, hut you Americans, you started as Christians. You have never been pagan and now your youth is trying to make up for it. They are taking paganism in large gobs, oh in great gobs!”- Count Hermann Keyserling, philosopher, in the Chicago Daily News. Picking Up Chickens «*** Proves Costly to Youths Eddie and Chuck went canoeing.; On the bank Were Some chickens from O. IS. C. Chickens that have wings and are made into pie. They took the chickens, boldly and bodily. In the end it cost them sf7. They were paddling serenely up the mill race when they spied the chickens, in a coop. These chickens objected to being picked up and squawked and squawked, but the boys made their getaway. Arriving at their frnt house, Ed die, a very good cook, fried the chickens and after the feed, des troyed all the bones, but the wish bone, which Chuck wanted to keep for “memories.” The owner of the chickens, follow ing the downy trail of feathers, after she had heard the cackles for aid, called at the frat house for her chickens, only to find them eaten and gone. Then she spied the wish bone, and snatching it from Chuck, asked, “What am I offered for this wish bone t” “Dear lady, it was only a child ish prank, we’ll never take your chickens again,” Chuck confessed. The lady softened for she was kind at heart. ♦ “fiovs, I realize it was a” childish prank, so I’ll only charge you seven dollars,” she said. * After the woman had gone, Chuck and Eddie seated tliemschCs in front of the fire. They sorrowed silently over the seven shekels. Filially Ed die broke the silence. “Chuck, I’ve picked my las^ chicken,” lie said.
