This lowering of studies Is due to a
very great extent to the ever Increas
ing desire for amusement, and the
recent increase in social life of the
University. This tendency is Just now
in the ascendancy and 6hould the
proposition of Sunday theaters carry
at the coming election we can look
for a decrease of at least 15 r?r cent
in the scholarship of the University
for the coming year. ,
What is needed more than anything
else at present Js to gt hack to the
solid facts and the realization of the
opportunities of University life.

TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1915
Who says virls aren't curious? Have
you heard any of them say, "I just
wonder who it's foing to be?"
The shrubs and trees recently
planted about the Temple building
have made a decided improvement in
that corner. This was a real Argor
Day for the University.
Few will question Dean Engberg's
statement that the heavy demands of
social affairs is responsible for the
decrease in the standing of the fra
ternities. It is not unlikely that the
average grades of the non-fraternity
-men -mill reveal a similar state of
affairs, tl is a common expression
among students "that there is too
much going on." The students realize
conditions as much as any one. They
feel that many times they are slight
ing their school work but human-like
they don't care to miss the things that
they are interested in. Social affairs
are, however, not wholly to blame
that is if we are to include only
dances, banquets, and parties in that
term. There are other school activities
such as athletics, plays, and organiza
tion meetings that are in a consider
able way responsible. Then this year
the sudden culmination of the Univer
sity Week proposition made consider
able demands upon many of the stu
dents' time. All of these things are
of course essential in a certain degree
but "too much of anything is too
much."
It is the people belonging to several
organizations or participating in many
different school activities who find so
little time for study. Perhaps the Uni
versity could best help solve the prob
lem by discouraging the innumerable
small group activities and social func
tions and by encouraging All-University
events.
The introduction of the point system
might help some. Under this system
it might even be possible to allow
credit for certain outside work carried
on under departmental supervision
thus relieving the strain upon the
student's time.
But regulation by the University
authorities must necessarily be
limited. In the final analysis the
regulation must come from the stu
dents themselves, tl is the individual
who is primarily responsible and he
alone can make the proper adjust
ment. For many of, our students the
overcoming of the mania to belong to
a dozen different organizations or the
mastery of the desire to become
famous in several different school
activities would be the proper solution
of the problem.
The Menace of Sunday Theater
There has been considerable in
crease in delinquency over the first
semester of & year ago. There Las
also been a general lowering of the
csholastic average.

The Garden f Eden edition of the
Awgwan was distributed yesterday. It
is an unique edition and it is evident
that the Ford is not a new invention
but a relic of the days of Adam and
Eve, who are pictured as enjoying its
comforts. It is certain that if Adam
and Eve could nave had a glimpse of
this number they would have felt
highly honored at the attention given
them.
