Yet, the day serves the practical purpose which its origin ators had in mind, although this pur pose is now overlooked. That purpose is to acquaint the fathers of students with the University, to show them at least a part of the good that comes with university training, and to prove that students can and do thing of other things than classes, activities, "dates" and shows. The luncheon in the Armory, Sat urday noon, brings "dad" into a Uni versity building, to the center of the campus. He sees other men's boys who are going to the University, hear members of the faculty speak and get a close look at some of the football heroes. In the afternoon he sees what is often his first game of football, almost certainly one of his few games. And no university man doubts that foot ball is the "greatest" game ever de veloped. If he was afraid his son was "running after girls" to the exclusion of other interests, his mind is set at rest. In the evening, whether he attends a dinner at a fraternity house or is entertained simply by his son, he is reassured that college is not going to the boy's head. The whole day's festivities help "dad" to see newspaper reports of "wild" college life are gross exagger ations, that the years spent here will not affect his son for the worse, and that the institution is worthy of more liberal financial support. STUDENTS IN POLITICS Students in foreign universities, we understand, take a great interest in politics. Often in news dispatches it is stated that a political demonstra tion was staged by the students. When these students leave college this interest Bhould naturally con tinue for ones likes and dislikes are largely formed during the college period. American students, on the contrary, seem to take little interest in govern ment. It is doubtful whether half the students at the University of Ne braska could tell who are Nebraska's senators, who are its congressmen, who is secretary of state, or what the code law really means. It is because of this lack of interest in politics that American government today is as slip-shod as it is. When one fails to inform himself of the qualifications of the candidates or about the real issues between parties, it is not surprising that there is stupid voting. American law-makers have often been living examples of the gullibility of the voters. Often they are jokes nothing more than pompous, unintel ligent figureheads with bully voices and the ability to recite their drivel fluently. The study of political science seems to have little effect toward bringing intelligent voting. The students re cite their lessons with fair accuracy in class; their interest goes no farther than to "get by." Seldom do they gain any real interest in government. Practical politics has been criticized as corrupt probably it is but if there is any way to bring it to a higher level it is by intelligent voting. When students take an interest in politics and inform themselves of the real issues and of the candidates, American politics will reach a higher level and begin to deal with govern ment and not graft. E. T.J. M. leges. New York has prohibited park ing In certain streets, and a resolu tion has been prepared and presented to the faculty of the University of Indiana which, if passed, will prohibit the use in the city of Bloomington of an automobile by any student Last year wo had our own little debate on the question of automo biles, and settled it. The University tactfu'Iy did not attempt to regulate student ownership of cars. It mere ly did as the great city of New York did. But Indiana and Mr. Fullerton take the other side. Hugh says that he believes it is detrimental to the youth to own cars while at school. So, ap parently, do some persons in Bloom ington. We feel certain that the good sense of the faculty will prevail and that students in Indiana will not have to keep thnir cars in garages just out side of the city limits, but the ten dency is what concerns us. Fright ened by the harum-scarum of a few owners of machines; those who pro pose the resolution would prohibit all students from using cars. In an ef fort to protect a few worthless stu dents who would go to the dogs with or without automobiles even those of the student body who could earn Phi Beta Kappa keys would be deprived of the pleasure of driving. Allegations that students use cars to the defeat of education seem to us to be begging the question. The Uni versity is stepping out of its way to find trouble. If it can be proved that a few students who own cars are flunking, let them be got rid of, but let the others keep the machines with out so much palaver. Ohio State Lantern.
