Whether money can be made by selling candy or by staging a vaudeville skit will be determined on the night of March 18. The response thus far from dif ferent university groups has been most encouraging. Fortune telling, vaudeville, folk dances, candy and popcorn are some of the attractions already planned. Such an event as this gives a large opportunity for working out clever and original ideas which should be numerous among uni versity studnest. Tournament Participants!

The Studentand the University WHY ATTEND THE UNIVERSITY? Why attend the university? Do not many linger at institutions of learn ing who would do better to-begin something' remunerative as -early as possible? Are we not making a fetich of "higher education?" Is the stu dent repaid for time spent in univer sity courses unless these courses somehow enhance his powers as a bread-winner? The answer is not difficult, it seems to me. To learn as much as we can is worth while because it makes the world a more interesting place to us. It makes life in general more in teresting. And this is reason enough for going to college, if one is fortu nate enough to have the opportunity, quite apart from the usual social and utilitarian considerations. The col lege man has more resources for finding interest in things about him than the man who has not attended college. The more fields of knowl edge that attract us. the more sub jects of which we know something, the better. From this point of view, university training' has value for all. It has value for those who expect to J work, for those who expect a life of leisure, for those who have average intellectual gifts, or gifts below the average, as well as for those who are unusually endowed. The gradu ate may not always make so much money as the non-graduate. He may even make less. But life will have more zest for him, if he has been intellectually trained, and knows something of subjects outside his pro fession. The educated man has pal pable advantages of resourcefulness and interest over the man who has cared only for the ''practical" to say nothing of his immeasurably greater value to his community.
