In the Law College earlier in the
yoar showed that a surprisingly large
number of students were working to
pay part or all of the cost of an ed
ucation. Whether tho student who must
work is able to devote as much time
and energy to his academic work as
he should, is a debatable question.
There is no doubt, however, that a
studont who is willing to work in
order to attend college is the posses
sor of an eagerness and a zest not
always found in those whose way is
easier.

A POST MORTEM EXAMINATION.
The fact that only one person
filed for the two vacant positions
open on the student council at the
lost class elections is a rather strik
ing indication of the esteem in which
thot body is held by the majority of
the students. When it is remember
ed that the council rarely meets
this year months have elapsed be
tween meetings the conviction
grows that as an organization, if it
has not actually died, it has at least
ceased to be a vital force on the
campus. I

interests of higher education?
A protest to mere bigness in the
college and university is to be heard
from a few educators, alumni and
undergraduates. The majority of
schools have been operating on the
assumption that the doors of an in
stitution of higher learning should
bo open to all, and that it is the duty
of the people to provide sufficient
facilities. Slogans that have quantity
as their ideal, such as "A Bigger and
Better DePauw," have been common.
Kven the "better" in the slogan does
not help it much.
The theory that colleges should be
overflowing with students is being
questioned. Everyone does not have
the mental capacity to warrant the
expenditure of money necessary to
give him or her a college education,
we are told. Writers in student pub-
ications are calling their fellow stu
dents "morons" and equally sugges
tive names. The Indiana Vagabond
vehemently protesting against what
it chooses to call "Gigantism," says:
"We found the widespread belief
will be the result Slip shod methods
or no methods at all in student af
fairs will continue until a method of
limiting student activity is worked
out on this campus. The Oklahoma

inherent defects which are to be
found in its constitution and its pur
pose. The council suffers, in the first
place, because it has no definite du
ties or functions to perform. It does
not follow that these functions could
not be found. In this column there
will appear later a summary of the
work of student councils in other it is able
schools. At Nebraska the most fun- 'pauw.
damental defect the council must
overcome is found not in the consti
tution under which it operates.
An examination of this document
shows that of its thirteen articles
only four can, with any degree of
reason, be construed as dealing with
the purpose and duties of the organ
ization. Of these one has to do with
the routine matter of student elec
tions, another gives the council pow
er to call student mass meetings
subject to the approval of the exe
cutive officials of the University,
and a third empowers the council to
receive and consider student peti
tions and complaints. The other ar
ticle, Article II, is the source from
which it would seem that the council
derives most of its power and func
tions. The extraordinary character
of this section makes the verbatim
reproduction of it desirable:
The puropse of this organiza
tion shall be the relating of all
extra-curriculum activities to
one another and to the Univer
sity as a whole; the creation of
such other expressions of stu
dent life as shall 'supplement
those already established; the
direction of such other matters
of student interest as shall be
initiated by or referred to the
student council. The council
shall also act as a student court
to investigate and make recom
mendations in such cases of
minor discipline as shall be re
ferred to it by the executive
dean of women.
As rhetoric, as a statment of cer
tain general aims and principles, the
render may find this article com
mendable. But when he remembers
that a political organization, a repre
sentative body, is expected to oper
ate under its provisions, this feeling
will probably give way to one of
amazement and dismay. With the
possible exception of the last sen
tence, the article is so filled with
indefinite statements and meaning
less generalities "the relating of
all extra-curriculum activities to one
another," for example, that its
vagueness makes any practical oper
ation under it impossible. State
ments of political principles are good
enough within their own limited
sphere, but something more than ver
bal pyrotechnics is required for prac
tical government.
If the council is to succeed there
must be less whiped cream in its
constitution and more meat. The
vagueness must be replaced by
statements which are definite and
clear. The council cannot survive
without a purpose, and that purpose
must be not phantasmagorical but
objective and real.
den transformation."
Mediocrity in both the student
body and the faculty results when a
school sets up quantity as its god.
To avoid this mediocrity a school is
certainly justified in taking such
measures as selecting the students
wh wish to enroll, at the same time
limiting the enrollment to a number
to provide for. The De-
LIMIT THE ACTIVITIES.
The 1925 Board of the Yale News
in its platform expresses itself as
being uncompromisingly opposed to
students taking part in campus acti
vities when the student does not do
so from a genuine interest in the
work.
Many students go in for publica
tlon jobs on the Yale campus for the
honor of the place rather than for
any interest they may have in the
success of the job after it is secured
Often the financial gain to be had
in the office is the sole motive for
asking for the place.
The same problem has been en
countered on the campus here as is
complained of on the Yale campus.
Men who are out for the money which
the office pays, or for the glory of
the place for themselves and their
organization do not get campus jobs
which are given by the vote of the
student body.
The qualifications of the man or
the interest which he may have in
the work does not enter into the giv
ing of the place. The strongest poli
tical combine is sufficient to win the
place. It takes work and lots of it
to make any job go. It is grind con
sistently applied and then more
grind specifically applied.
Any student who is honored with
any office, especially a student publi
cation office, should have the inter
est of that publication at heart, sec
ond only to the curriculum. Finan
cial gain, personal glory, or organiza
tion halo should be in the back
ground. Muddled student activity
affairs will only be cleared when that
ideal is more closely realized.
But the millennium has not arriv
ed yet. Men will continue to go out
for office to get in the spotlight of
college life, and poor government
