THE STUDENT COUNCIL
in an effort to make clear to the student body Its plans and Us
policies for the year, the student council Is calling t ,e J a of al
Organizations for a meeting next Sunday .fternoo At Ihl. time lh
council will enlighten the representatives who are present as
functions and powers of the student governing .
The meeting. It Is understood, will also give
expression of student opinion on certain OTemU
considering. It has already unselfishly indicated a de. Mo earn
the attitude and the feeling of Its constituents before P
with decisions which will materially affect student We. The meet
ing Sunday afternoon is the first of a series of proposed ass meet
:gSs ln which the council hopes to sound out -ent 'jntlment.
Students welcome the announcement of the council. They are
anxious to know what It is doing, what its duties an fu nc ons are
and lust what jurisdiction it will have in the matter of student . gov
oxnment The actions of the council are of pertinent concern to all
BdenU. Its members are elected by student votes to an organ.za
ou which is thoroughly representative of the student body.

The student council is yet an experiment at the Lniversity or

A MENTAL CRUTCH
Too maify students use their notebooks as a mental crutch. In

freely flowtag fountain pen rather than a careful consideration and
weTghing of the facts and theories presented. It is so easy to be

THE MAKE BELIEVE MAN
One of the sorry spectacles that we are sometimes compelled to
look upon Is the would-be college man who cannot get down to busi-
He Is the four-flusher in college life. He may have the requisite
dimensions and the avoirdupois of a real man and may even imagine
himself to be one; but his lack of stamna and will power argue other
wise; and sooner or later we come to look upon him as a make-believe
man a false alarm.
This does not in the least imply that social pleasures are to be
excluded from our programs. The truth Is that nothing wins our
admiration and esteem so quickly and completely as a sane balance
between work and play in college life. But the man who is out to
make It all play, and who refuses to face squarely and honestly the
work in his college program, is to be set down here just as he would
anywhere else; that Is. a mere loafer.
At the present moment, however, he needs to be examined in
another light; for the fact is that in his relations to others, he is in
cllned to become a real nuisance. He will not work, which Is bad
enough; but what is far worse, he will not let others work. He either
does no't understand or else he willfully disregards the first principle
- of democracy; viz.. that his right and priivleges come to a sudden
and abrupt end at the point where they begin to interfere with the
rights and best interests of others. Instead, he seems to think he has
a perfect right to invite, persuade, urge, or even to pull others away
from their work at any time that suit his whim or fancy, which
is by way of being all the time.
Perhaps he ought not to be looked upon as a man among men
since he is unable to take a man's view of life and unwilling to as
sume a man's responsibilities or to perform a man's work. The
. charitable part may require that we merely pity him for his childish
weakness. He might be decorated with a special pin or badge of a
nursing bottle in white enamel. Still, the fact remains that no stretch
of charity can make of him a useful member of college society. We
-wish it were otherwise for he is often, in fact usually, a likeable
fellow. We regret to lope him; but since he allows himself to get in
the way of others, he r ust sooner or la.er vanish from among us.

HALLOWE'EN NIGHT
A REUC QF OLD
IRISH MYTHOLOGY
If a questionnaire were to be circu
lated among the student body at the
university, asking how many students
.ere aware of the origin of Hallowe'en
doubtlessly very few would have any
ideas upon the subject.
According to mythology, it was the
belief jn Ireland, hundreds of years
ago, that at this particular time of
the year supernatural spirits in many
different ghastly forms would go walk
ing about through the world. Doing
all manner of mischief when there
was opportunity. And it was thought
to be the wise thing to stay in-douis
on this particular evening, lest 'the
goblins get you it' you don't watch
out!" To keep the spirits from do
ing personal harm, and to while away
the long evening, people would- play
all manner of games and tricks.
In this way the custom has come
down to the present day of selling
aside this last evening in October as
a time for get-togethers. Just as our
great-Kreat-grandparents used to duck
for apples, tell fortunes, manipulate
the Ouija board, and incidenially
wind up the evening with seasonal
good things to eat, so today Hal
lowe'en parties reflect this same spir
it.
Incidentally with the outgrowing in
believeing in spirits that walk
the earth, spirits of many different
natures, but in human form, have
come to dominate the out-of-doors.
The sight of white, moving objects on
the street is sometimes rather ghast
ly, but small boys, and occasionally
larged ones too, seem to be able to
more than equal ambitious spirits
canned up In the most fertile Imagin
ations. In fact, so great has been the
mischief of these "human spirits" that
It has appeared necessary to depart
ments of law enforcement, which
apparently are unable to appreciate
pranks of ghosts and goblins other
than spiritual, to take strenuous
efforts to make certain that pranks
on Hallowe'en night are confined in
actuality to the spirits.
