CAMPUS DRIVES.
A practical suggestion is made by
the Women's Pan-Hellenic associa
tion for better regulation of sales
campaigns on the campus. The Stu
dent Council might even go farther
than is suggested and prohibit actual
solicitation. The most important of
such campaigns for funds student
athletics ticket sales and payment
of stadium pledges are carried on
through booths.
A number of students are influ
enced by personal solicitation to buy.
when they would not have otherwise.
but these students could probably use
the money better for other purposes.
The evils of the "drive" system
are numerous. Women students
spend mere time away from their
studies than they can aford. Rival
ry and bitterness among the sorori
ties is promoted somewhat by the
contest, and worst of all, non-fraternity
students are automatically
excluded from taking part in the
campaigns.
If the support given a student ac
tivity is not strong enough when it
relies merely on display and booths
for its "drive," it is probable that the
activity is not worth while, j
STANDARDIZATION.
The statement "this is the age of
"specialization" is made frequently
and proof of it is convincing. This
specialization enables modern soci
ety to produce the vast number of
extras which it considers essential to
its greatest happiness. And it leads
to the standardization of clothing,
food, bouses and so on. And this
appearance of pronounced individu
standardization tends toward the dis
ality. The race is gradually becoming
standardized. Improved means of
communication wipe out dialectic pe
culiarities of speech. Improved
means of transportation place the
same commodities at the disposal of
everyone.
: We must have a suit of clothes
that is just like the ones worn by
"everyone else " We make the pleas
ures and pastimes of the majority
our own means of recreation. We
talk about what others talk ' about,
and hence think about the' same
things that provoke the thought of
others. The mode of life becomes
much the same over large areas.
This standardization is usually re
garded as a peril of modern riviliza
tion. But it may be that happiness
will be more wide-spread, industrial
and political progress more rapid,
that ethical standards will come more
to a common level in a world of
homogeneous peoples than in a soci
ety of individuals who gratify their
own wishes and then turn to service
Development of individuality is
stressed in the modem institution of
higher learning. And in some degree
it is desirable to keep the matter be
fore students. But rather than a
danger of losing individuality in the
present world, there is too much agi
tation against a degree of standard
ization that may prove profitable to
mankind We cannot all be geniuses,
and so the end toward which this
over-emnhasizing of . individuality,
personality, leads, is eccentricity. If
we all tried to develop our individ
ualities strongly we might become a
society of mental hermits.
TO CHEER OR NOT
In an editorial which appeared in
the Columbia Missourian, a psychol
ogy professor was quoted saying
that crowds had a great deal to do
with athletic successes. In an edito
rial in the Big Ten Weekly it was
said that cheering had nothing at all
to do with winning football games,
ana tn athletes on the held were
unconscious of the cheering.
Here are two sides of this much
discussed subject. We incline toward
tlie latter view, with certain excep'
tions. We believe that cheering at
football games is mostly wasted on
the players except before the game
between the halves, and when some
player is being helped from the field
At the same time we think that if
there were no cheering at games,
players would be the first to notice it
As it was pointed out to us yester
day by a keen observer, "It is not
the noise, but the lack of it that is
noticeable."
It is true that teams play better
on the gridiron when facing a foe
than they do on the practice field,
Whether this is due to the tension
aroused Dy the coming combat, or
whether it is caused by the coach's
whipping lectures, or whether it is
due to the cheering of the crowd is
not for us to say. Doubtless the hub'
bub of the spectators has great in
fluence on the playing.
But the thing is that the Big Ten
Weekly pricks the bubble that has
blown around ever since cheer lead
ers were created, that it was yelling
as well as playing that won games.
We have our private belief that there
is a psychological worth in yelling at
rallies, if the yelling is coupled with
the proper comments by the coach,
but we hold that concerted yelling at
games, during plays, is almost so
much wasted effort. Ohio State

We are honoring dad Saturday, and
whether it be in a day, a week, or an
hour, we want to honor him properly.
We think no better time could be
picked for a celebration in honor of

are having now.

even might be afraid of taking cold
were she invited to sit on the hard
benches of the Stadium to watch
Chicago play. But dads are men, as
we are, and we men like this weather.
Ask dad.
Somehow, when we get to college
we can't keep on thinking of dads as
dads. We begin to think of them as
just other men. Most of us are rela
tively independent and grown up
when we reach the age for leaving
home for school. We lose the senti
ment we have always held for the
"governor."
It isnt too much to ask to remem
ber the "old gentlemen" again for a
day. After all, they are the ones who
pay the bills for our going to school.
And, while they seem to be the very
antithesis of sentiment in most cases,
they are really the most sentimental
of creatures. Ask mother.
Losing contact with them as we
have in our time at college, we do
not know just how proud they are
of their sons at school. It is worth
a thousand to them to be invited up
here for a day, along with other dads,
and accepted at the fraternity house
as one of the boys, and taken to the
game. But they would deny all sen
timent if they were asked. Don't ask
them if they want to come. Bully
them into it They like to be bossed.

SWEZEY GIVES LECTURE
ON "SUN, STARS, PLANETS"
(Continued From Page One.)
certain conical-shaped phenomena
which act on the same principal as
tornadoes,
"It is evident," he said, "that the
sun would soon die out if it did not
have some way of obtaining addi
tional heat. These 'tornadoes' suck
up the hot vapors from the interior
and great geyser-like eruptions are
shot thousands of miles into space,
producing the heat and light of which
we are aware." '
Told of Star.
Professor Swezey also dealt with
the stars. Stars are suns, he ex
plained, and the reason their heat is
not felt is because they are millions
of miles away, while the sun is only
93,000,000 miles distant Light from
the nearest star requires four years
to reach the earth, while that from
the farthest known cluster reaches
here 200,000 years after its depar
ture.
The immense magnitude of the so
lar system, not readily appreciated
by many, was made clear by a com
parison to common things. "Suppose
the sun to be one yard in diameter,"
said Professor Swezey, "And be
placed in the southwest corner of the
University campus. Then, in propor
tion, the earth would be about the
size of a common garden pea, and
would be in a position at about Four
teenth Street The farthest planet,
then would revolve in an orbit which
would almost touch the Agricultural
campus."
The main body of stars from a flat,
circular cluster in the heavens. Some
times they are seen when the cluster
is in an edigewise position, other
times from a different angle, so that
nore stars are visible at certain per
iods. Light travels around the earth
h one-seventh of a second, declared
the lecturer, and requires one and
one-half seconds to reach the earth
from the moon. From the sun, how
ever, eight minutes is taken.
Professor Swezey will continue his
