Instead of waiting for the graduate to come and see them, these forward-looking companies scan the prospects before they get out of school and if they see a man who is a “comer” it is to their advantage to sign him up. Good manners, correct speech, an adult point of view and a well-groomed appearance make as im portant an impression as the student's college class room training and scholastic record. Most inter viewers place the importance of college activities as follows: First, grades in college subjects; sec ond, self-support activities; and third,, extra-cur ricular activities. College men might profitably consider those points and note the importance placed by the busi ness world on their work in college. Not only do the points apply to seniors who confer with inter viewers from corporations, but every college man who goes out hunting a job after graduation will find himself facing the same sort of scrutiny and on the same angles. Panacea for Athletics 'T'HREE eastern universities will this spring em bark on a new athletic policy. When their base ball teams take the field to play, Princeton’s, Co lumbia’s, and Yale's men will plan their own attack without the assistance of a coach on the field. This scheme involves the much-discussed “give the game back to the boys” idea in athletics. Baseball as a collegiate sport can stand such an experiment. Since it is no longer the great Amer ican game that its fans once claimed, the diamond sport will serve as the “proving-grounds” for the theory because any failure to succeed would not be the national calamity it would be if it were tried on million-dollar football and failed. Advantages can be seen in such an experiment. Proponents assert it is a solution of the menacing “professionalism” that looms over college athletics. Especially is their criticism directed against foot ball, which, they claim, is merely a battle between the brains of two rival coaches who signal every play from the bench and who match forces as do chess players. One of the benefits to be realized from the new plan, theoretically, is to heighten interest in the sport. When the players themselves do the think ing and plan the attack, there is certain to follow a -greater significance and enjoyment, it is said. Whether it be to build up a sport or to curb professionalism, the experiment is certain to reveal some valuable pointers on modern day athletics. School Spirit T TNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, situated as it is in the midst of the coast's largest city, is having a hard time with its school spirit. Class elections were held the other day and only 50 voted for the president of the senior class in the college of letters, arts, and sciences. Only two men were present at the meeting of the senior class held to nominate officers. And neither of the two was enrolled in that particular college and hence had no vote. When school spirit is at such a low ebb it shows an unhealthy attitude toward the university and what it is trying to do for its students. Extra curricular activities are aimed at two big goals, first to exploit the potentialities of the individuals, and second, to build school morale. That any stu dent body should disregard the benefits of at least the first of those aims is rather hard to under stand. Such a condition as exists at this southern col lege seems to indicate that there is either an un common interest in study and research, with activ ities looked upon as superfluous, or else it would seem that everyone was interested in doing only what he or she wanted to do and was not con cerned with what the school was trying to do for them or what opportunities it was offering them for self-advancement. Columbia university in New York also reports such a condition, which they call "city sophistication.” Such supreme indifference is hard to under stand at a university like Oregon where two-thirds of the student body turns out for elections every May. Group Lockstep STANDARDIZATION which professors, or indeed ^ some professors, try to force upon their classes, recasting the student mind in the mold of the professorial wisdom, is not the only restriction which the "free-thinker” or the "stubborn igno ramus” finds in university classes. There is as truly a group lock-step, and who soever would break the links which bind him to the society in which he finds himself is subject to a censure fully as great and far more vindictive than even the ablest Ph.D. or plain instructor could deliver. This off-shoot, to change the metaphor entirely, from the tree of knowledge, as well as being pruned by the gardener is likely to be crowded into the shade by its companion limbs. What a class does, or a fraternity, or a club, or a society, or Society, is as likely to be used as a perfect model to which all members must adhere, as the model set up by any university professor. In either case, it usually works out, the revolt ing member of society and the doubting student is each elevated or silenced according to his per sistence and vocal power. A dollar an hour was paid to students at Co lumbia university who would drink coffee con tinuously for four hours and submit to scientific tests of the effects that coffee had upon them. A fellow would only have to drink 4,381,499 cups to work his way through college. This sunny weather is welcome. Most of the co-eds leave those funny-looking berets at home. “ “ *g) Dementia j ————————iB Dear papa, One of de surprising tings about dls dump is dat de skoits here looks about de same as dey do back in Chi, only dey acts different. One of de dames in me class says to me: “Youse is so manly, Mr. I)e Rat.” I suppose most guys is manly, papa, so I didn’t say nuttin, hut dis skoit kep on talkin about someting or udder. She aint bad lookin, but dat line she slings is de berries. a———-. ]Oreganized “Youse has got a far away look in your lamps,” she says. ‘‘Won’t youse come to our formal dis week-end ?” Formals is hops, papa, I found dat out later. "Sure,” I says. “Where is dis ting?” Dis skoit lives wit a bunch of udders in a brick boarding house. It’s a swell dump. When I got dere de party was already started. “I wanna see de skoit wid de bug eyes and de coily brindle hair,” I says to de goil at de door. I guess I musta surprised her because she opened her mouth and didn’t say nuttin. Just den I seen me broad comin down de stairs, so I busts in any way. “Come on, baby,” I says, “lets git out on de grease and start de woiks.” Funny ting, pupa, I never noticed It before, but she’s got n complexion like a gole fish. I guess she was a little exeited. So I grabs her and we starts across de floor. Youse would tink, papa, dat dese univoisity punks would have loincd how to dance, but I guess dey uint had do ehanee an de experience dat I lias. Most of dese guys is just loinin, 1 guess, dat’s why dey bus to go so slow. "Youse hang onto me, baby,” I whispers in me goil’s ear, “an we’ll give dese boids a exhibition.” She sticks her hands agin me* an begins to shove. I guess she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to git de hang to me steps. I knowed, however, dat she had de niakins of a good dancer, so I en coiraged her by grabbin her aroun' de waiste and jumpin In de air an toinin aroun just so she could see how easy it was. “What do youse mean by comin to dis dance in dat sweater?" she says. “I'll take it off as soon as I git hot,” I says. “I didn't suppose youse would want me to come here In me slioit-sleeves.” “Ills is a formal,” she says. “Look^ at de udders." You know, papa, it was kinda dark in dere, but when dey toined on de lights at de end of de dance, I seen what de skoit was talkin about. Kvery mug in de room had on a bullet-proof sliolt, just like Tony tierotti's gang wears on election day. No wonder me soil was excited. If I'd have known it was dis kind of party I’d hrung me sat. But dey don’t frame your little son, papa. Not me. Everybody got kinda sour looks on deir faces. I knew den dat dey was gonna start sometlng. A coupla mugs comes toward me wit deir hands in deir pockets, so I busted up de chandelier wid a chair, and crowned de bunny nearest de door wit a big bowl of lemon juice dey had dere, an dived over de flower pots tru de window. A narrow squeak, papa, but I’ve loined me lesson. Your loving son. Hank De Rat. One Fr’a Penny By Guilfin GUILFIN FABLE THE TWELFTH About the little boy who grew up and came to college— * * * When he was just a little fel low, about five, his mother called him to her and talked to him. She told him about smok ing, and pool halls, and gam bling, and bad companions. And then he grew up, came to col lege, and joined the fraternity just up the row . . . that one with the tennis courts. It was the worst mistake he ever made in his life. * * * The tennis courts are the best feature about that gang, and they have become desecrated to the ex tent that they are used for bas ketball, and touch football, and catch. They built the courts in a burst of confidence when they got their new house, and just weren’t able to persuade any of the tong members to take lessons, so that they could play on'them. But the tennis courts aren’t all, of course. They have a lovely house, with a lot of win dows and things. The trouble seems to be that they just can’t seem to get anybody to live in it. Anyone that counts, anyway. • * * This is awfully short, isn’t it? I’m sorry. I really would like to say a lot about this bunch, but gosh, you just can't. If they had anyone, or could do anything, be lieve me ... I’d tell you. The truth is, they just barely exist, and that’s why this is so short. * * * FABLE THE THIRTEENTH And about the little girl \yho grew up and came to college— Her mother talked to her, too, about men, and smoking, and pool halls, and things. She really im pressed her, too, and then the lit tle girl grew up and came to col lege, and joined a sorority, that one across from the grain barn that holds all the farmers. And1 that was quite a mistake, in itself. * * * The house is a funny looking thing. They built it out of red brick, and then they built a funny little fence around the roof, for some reason or other. The fence ruined it, and it was obviously an afterthought, sort of tucked on, like one’s hat when one is in a hurry. * * * • And the girls. . . . Maybe they were an afterthought, too, or something of the sort. The little girl’s mother warned her about men., and then she came down here and joined what would be called a harem in Turkey. They just dote on big, brawny he-men. . . . I suspect them of building across from that grain barn with a purpose. * * * There was a time when they had what is called a balanced group. In fact, one of their ballasts is still there. She is the girl that speaks to every man on the campus. But the rest of them have deteriorated into a type house . . . the type that you just can’t see, and that you hardly hear at any time. In fact, they’re not so hot. Reports from the National Stu dent federation show that students of the United States manage to earn approximately $26,000,000 a year. The industrious eds and co eds are said to do anything from taking little tots out for Sunday nicnics to counting milk bottles on doorsteps for statistic bureaus.

"Meinholtz, the Times Wants You - —” JOIN US IN THE GENERAL ELECTRIC HOUR, BROADCAST EVERY SATUR DAY AT 9 P.M., E.S.T. ON A NATION WIDE N.BiC. NETWORK. .GENERAL' ELECTRIC FRED E. MEINHOLTZ of the New York Times sat in his home on Long Island, listening-in on a radio press dispatch from the Byrd expedition. Someone on the Times staff wanted to reach Meinholtz on his home phone. And quickly! But the receiver there happened to be off the hook. Radio science was equal to the occasion. The Times radio operator sent a request to the fur-clad operator at the other end of the world. And Meinholtz was quickly made aware of the situation by a radio message from Antarctica saying: “Meinholtz, the Times wants you to hang up your receiver so that they can call you on the telephone.” Radio and research are amongjhe many lines of work in which college-trained men are engaged at General Elec tric, where they also receive further technical and business training. 95-735GC YORK GENERA t'"”' ELECTRIC’”' COMPANY, SCHENECTADY —. .■ ' —■ - ■—■ i N E vr
