Just What Action ?
TODAY the student advisory committee will meet for the purpose
of determining what action should be taken against four students
who were declared instrumental in the organization of a rally which
disrupted classes and the general routine of University work last
Friday morning.
Whether this group will act wisely and come to a just conclusion
or not we cannot say. There are many things which must, be taken
into consideration as the precariousness of the entire situation dwells
upon the mind of every committee member.
Friendship and cooperation between the two, now quite clearly
defined lines dividing the Univeisity administration and the student
administration, is constantly the aim in all official action. Will this
be brought about should the advisory group stand above the students
ready to switch them like children of six?
For the progress of the University both students and faculty
MUST work in complete harmony, understand respective weaknesses,
and deal among themselves as men and women of the world. Can
this be done unless a faculty “advisory" committee realizes that stu
dents are equipped with normal intelligence and will reason so as to
avoid repetition of mistakes?
By this wc mean that the men who disrupted the regular school
day for a display of spirit among fellow students should be heard and
consulted in an advisory conference. The overbalance of harm against
the benefit of the rally ought to be clearly defined. These men, and
men of future generations, will perhaps think more clearly before
staging such a demonstration after this conscientious and equitable
understanding than should they if they he penalized by some physical
or tangible punishment.
Realizing the balance the student advisory committee must mi
between the faculty, under which they work, and the associated stu
dents, we understand their difficult, position. But we are also appeal
ing to the sense of justification among the faculty members. It is
for their benefit that we gain complete cooperation.
Students will reason, and in the case at hand undoubtedly admit
their mistakes. For the construction of a greater institution the line
dividing the groups, students and faculty should be eradicated. Let
them unite in one common aim by beginning here with a satisfactory
case. Let the committee work in its true capacity, “advisory.”
Obviously there are cases where steps in diverse directions must
bo taken, but when an opportunity such as the present drops into the
hands of the advisory group let its advantages be accepted—for a
clearer and more personal understanding.
«rvN to St. Mary’s” is a rallying cry on the campus now, that if
V*/ given support, will send an unbeatable Webfoot eleven to San
Francisco to tackle the strong Gael team that has chalked up many
victories during its present season and is still on the warpath.
The Webfoots, by the time of the Thanksgiving Day classic in the
Bay City, will be a different team from the one which faced Oregon
State last Saturday. Oregon was a rudderless football ship that
foundered on the flooded Bell field that day, but this week will see
the return of Captain Kitzmiller and the rebuilding of a strong eleven
under the able tutelage of Dr. C. W. Spears, who this year has given
Oregon one of its most successful seasons.
The Oregon gridsters are not “off" following last Saturday's mis
fortune. Far from it. In truth, the men are pointing to the Gael
game as the time for a display of power unavailable against the
Beavers.
No Oregon student iias lost faith in the Webfoots because of one
defeat in a season. That's why we say with so much enthusiasm
“On to St. Mary’s.”
'HE evil of campus “handshaking” psychology has been discussed
several times in this column of late, but the passage of the time
of mid-term grades prompts a renewal of the discussion.
The fear students have of being accused of "handshaking” is in
its most vicious stage when it prevents a student who is in danger
of failure or probation from going to see his adviser about it. All
students who are weak in one or more courses at mid-term have been
notified of the fact by a little card which bears their adviser's name
and a recommendation that the student consult him at the earliest
opportunity.
The advisory system has been set up to prevent faculty attention
to the problems of the individual student from being wholly lost in
the grind of mass education which turns out degrees by the hundreds
every year. It has many features of potential strength, but the good
that it may do depends entirely on the cooperation of the students;
the faculty advisers have no way of forcing the slipping students to
come to see them before it is too late.
Some students may think that a conference with an adviser will
do nothing toward helping them to raise their grades. The chances
are entirely the other way, for the advisers are chosen for their expe
rience on the faculty and the depth of their educational insight. Many
times their skilled observation can, after a talk with a student, dis
cover the weak points in his curriculum, his methods of study, his
daily living program, or his living environment; and they can indicate
to the student the best methods of extricating themselves from their
scholarship tangles.
If you are worried about your grades—see your advLer!

BEARD’S
Rioting of Students Causes
Comment by School Editors
l
With unemployment and the
economic depression as a world
wide source of revolution and in
stability, the reports of the part
taken by students in various coun
tries in stimulating and leading
the spirit of unrest by rioting and
protest have received wide discus
sion in the college press.
Within the last few days, Egyp
tian students set fire to one of the
Cairo school buildings and later a
large number of student strikers
attacked those who refused to
join them, with the result that
several were injured when the po
lice joined the fray. The cause
of the trouble seems to be agita
tion against the existing govern
ment, the new constitution and
electoral laws.
Student rioting in Spain has
continued for some time. Law
students in Barcelona showed an
anti-monarchistic spirit and those
in Seville combined rebellion
against the government with dis
content against the university ad
ministration.
A third example is found in
South America where Peruvian
students overthrew Leguia and the
Argentinians aided in the displace
ment of Irigoyen.
In contrast to this, there is the

recent riot at Princeton resulting
in the destruction of private prop
erty, rocking of interstate busses
and the suspension of 42 men.
Along the same lines is the tra
ditional Yaie freshman riot, the
Gowns against Towns. Sedate
Harvard has representatives who
have known the inside of a jail
due to “boyish pranks." With a
few exceptions, such as the New
York students who were jailed last
winter because of too active sym
pathy with the garment workers’
strike, most of the student riots
in this country have been caused
by mass meetings smacking
strongly of football, tradition or
“good spirits.”
An editorial in the Pennsylvan
ian does not advocate mob action
as a principle, but points out the
desirability of rioting over politi
cal, religious, social and economic
issues rather than peurile rebel
lions against the local police. The
last European riots at least indi
cate an awareness of existing
problems not found to any great
extent among young American
students. Another opinion ex
pressed in this week’s college press
on rioting in the American univer
sities is that such purposeless de
struction is stupid and ought to
be discouraged much more em
phatically than has been done
heretofore.

the typical Bach complexities,# and
Gould was not found wanting.
The Andantino from Widor’s
Fifth Organ symphony showed the
organist’s skill in introducing and
interweaving the various voices of
the instrument without the slight
est confusion. The varying themes
of his last number, Cesar Franck’s
Chorale in A-minor, were inter
preted by Gould with impartial ex
cellence. His renditions of its tur
bulent passages and of the con
trasting pianissimos were equally
effective.
