Radicals Bright Students
^piIE brightest boys and girls in high schools tend
to have radical views toward the laws of the
country, while the less brilliant students hold views
more in accordance with adult standards, Professor
E. G. Lockhart of Drake university told educators
recently at a meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science.
In the younger groups of fchildren the brightest
boys and girls hold the most mature attitudes to
ward law, but the brightest high school students
pull down the average of their grades by a marked
departure from the legal ideal, he declared.
A little knowledge may be a dangerous thing.
The first stage, the elementary student, is the more
social. He is more easily controlled, better disci
plined, and less likely to act contrary to the mores
and folkways of the period. For one thing, he has
not acquired the ability or knowledge of how to
disregard social customs and laws. He does not
drink, he knows little about marriage and divorce,
and criminal act3 he knows nothing of.
Then he reaches the secondary stage of his edu
cation and passes into high school. The world
unfolds before him. Education helps in the un
folding process that is one of its aims. Things
he never felt or appreciated suddenly thrust them
selves upon his emotional and mental being. He
begins to feel a little independent and gain a false
impression of his own strength. Because he knows
a few bare facts he is quick to state his opinions
and make assertions based upon the shaky frame
work of his outline knowledge.
It is not until he has the seriousness of life
impressed upon him and he sees the necessity of
weighing his words that he begins to turn toward
the conservative. Realization of how little he
really knows comes when he becomes more edu
cated.
The dull student in high school does not trans
gress on this business of thinking unconservatively.
From the start he is not so eager to state his own
opinions, because he is not so sure of himself. His
very dullness keeps him from seeing the wideness
of the world yet unexplored and because he does
not participate in unsocial juvenile practices he
does not feel called upon to defend and uphold
these practices.
The lawless attitude seems to be a problem of
the individual and not one of social, economic or
intelligence level.
What Oregon Students Miss
I 7TTH a group of selections from the works of
T T A. E. Houseman, a gloomy but none the less
able poet of modern England, Dr. E. C. A. Leach
of the English department inaugurated the winter
term series of oral readings Sunday night at Ger
linger hall. Dr. Lesch is an excellent reader, as
are all the men who are to take part in the series,
and his rendition of the verses of the Shropshire
countryman impressed the listener with the sin
cerity that lay back of the mild cynicism.
The only thing to mar the success of the read
ing hour Sunday night was the attendance. Scarcely
more than 30 persons were there, and less than
half of them were students. That is one trouble
with life on the campus of a great university.
There are many outside attractions to claim the
time of the student, and rare is the student who
uses discretion in his selection.
An appreciation of Houseman, or Burns, or
Keats, acquired in an evening around the fire at
Gerlinger hall, will give to a student much more
satisfaction in the years to come than, say, watch
ing two mediocre basketball teams battle each
other to a standstill. But the average student does
not see it that way. lie sees every athletic con
test, the good as well as ihe bad, and he views
half the shows that come to town, and dances at
almost every dance.
And then, 10 or 15 years later, after he has
forgotten most, of what he learned from books and
the scores of most of the games, the average grad
uate poignantly regrets that knowledge or appreci
ation of literature, or music, or oratory, were
among the things that somehow or other he missed
while he was an undergraduate. But that is the
way of the world. W. B.
Campus politicians gasped at a news story in
Tuesday’s Emerald concerning an appointment.
They also made the acquaintance of politics of an
other gender.
"Women to Control Bureau to Curb Youthful
Crime," headline in New York World. A 50 per
cent more efficient institution than any bureau to
control crime is the home.
Sic Semper Junior Vodvil
DOWN in the deep, soggy grave of disuse goes
the Junior Vodvil, laugh-maker, campus-talent
musical comedy of past years. It was a healthy
youngster ten years ago. Like all youngsters it
grew. And grew. Too much. Now it is going to
be abandoned.
It began to cost too much money to put on.
Costumes, scenery, orchestras all went too deep
in the pockets. It did not always pay.
Smart cracks became smarter, but not more so
than they ever were, old grads will tell you. In
an effort to produce a bigger and better extrava
ganza of co-cd choruses and snappy lines and songs,
the students spent too much of their time. Classes
came in a poor second for several weeks preceding
the vodvil which was more often than not a vodvil.
Benefits derived from musical talent discovered
and exploited could not offset the time, and ex
pense it took to put it on. The powers that be
were not in favor of it for these reasons and be
cause it was not a true picture of college life. “Is
that College?” the outsiders asked.
Instead of being a theater presentation where
formal dress is not unfashionable, the vodvils took
on the air of a brawl . . . cords and peanut shells
. . . no ties . . . raucousness in talk and manner . . .
so they buried Jack Dalton with his muddy boots on.
It was a good show in its day. We hate to see
it go because it had its good points- a few of them.
We hope its successor will provide a chance for
open campus participation; that it will take cog
nizance of the vodvil's weaknesses and will be a
presentation which will be interesting to the ma
jority of the students since it should be essentially
a student activity.
Rooting at Games
/CUTTING'one’s own throat is a quaint pastime,
and, strange to say, often done. They do it
in business, in politics, and in social life. They do
not stop to think that maybe that limb they are
sawing off might happen to be the one they are
sitting on.
Example: Oregon’s rooting section almost lost
Monday night’s game with Idaho for their own
team. They censure the team if it loses. And yet
they unthinkingly dedicated a prolonged jeer to
Oregon State college’s Coleman fhr a palpable
error in giving Idaho the ball out of bounds under
their own basket. Coleman warned them once, then
when the left-handed encomium continued and even
rose in volume he awarded Idaho a foul shot, which
they promptly converted.
When a referee makes an error of judgment at
any time he is liable to hear from the aggrieved
fans. Such a check is a desirable thing since it
makes him be more carefid of future decisions.
On account of the closeness of the game Monday
night, the anvil chorus was unusually strong. The
foul shot which was converted put the Oregon team
in a hole which their own rooters had dug for them
and only major league playing got them out of it.
The psychological tenseness of the moment prob
ably added volume to the jeers from the rooters
3inee every false move counted against one team
or another. A better plan for the rooters is to
keep the plaintive wails in a minor key.

I’d set up bowling- alleys to keep university

I'd establish deferred pledging. One week of
rushing isn't enough time. I think one term would
be. So many California girls are in a complete
daze, and deferred pledging seems to be working
out at Stanford.
I don't think it should be put in now: not until
a house is able to stand it financially.

MAN
BABIES are born with but one want—food. When
men grow old, their wants become few—quiet cor
ners, friendly faces, peace.
But in the years between, men and women are living
and developing to the full extent of their powers. Then
their wants are legion.
People today are wanting and getting more things
that make for complete living than ever before. To these
common needs of everyone, the newspapers bring inval
uable opportunities of satisfaction every day.
It is the function of the advertisements to enable you
not only to get what you want—but to get the very best
that your'money can buy. They help you to decide which
• automobile, which suit, which radio to buy. They assure
you that your wants will be more than met—that they
‘will be wisely and completely satisfied.
