To say that an all-University party
can be a success is foolish. The stu

ever brought together for a party.
There are too muny different types.

. THOSE DEADLY PARTIES
It has almost become a tradition at
this university that all-University
parties are dull. For years they have
followed the same line, have been
given at about the same time, the en
tertainment has been the same, and
about the same type of students has
attended.
No one, it seems, has stirred out
of the inertia that seems to grip
those in charge of the parties to sug
gest a change, At the present time
almost any rhanp; would be bene
ficial; it would at least start the ru
mor on the campus that there are
all-Uunversity parties.
It is a by-word on the campus that
few students other than freshmen,
(usually very rustic freshmen) at
tend the parties. Whether it is be
cause the parties are dull, or merely
because the students are out of the
habit, we do not know. Perhaps
some one can supply the answer.
Just what change is needed to
arouse more interest in the parties
we do not know, not being at all ex
pert on the matter of parties. We
would suggest, however, that some
such system as that used at Kansas
be installed.
At Kansas "varsity" dances are
held once a week. The charge, we
believe, is seventy-five cents for cou
ples, or $1.25 for stags. The num
ber of stags admitted is limited to
about one stag to every twenty cou
ples. At these dances good orches
tras are provided and what entertain
ment there is is not of a party na
ture. It is simply run as a dance.
The students at Kansas do not at
tend the down-town dances except
-on slumming expeditions. To at
tend the varsity dance is taken as a
matter of course. Last year the
dances were so popular that one hall
woul not contain the crowd and two
were obtained. Both were packed
and Kansas is not as big a school as
Nebraska. The profit on the dances
for one year, which were turned into
the student activities fund, was more
than 4,000.
Contrast this with the situation at
Nebraska. Here one may attend
any down-town dance and find the
students there. On the evenings of
all-University parties the attendance
by students at the down-town dance
halls is probably larger than at the
university affair.
While gathering material for this
editorial we asked a number of stu
dents about the all-University par
ties. The search was made in vain,
for none had ever been to one. Fin
ally our search was rewarded; we
found a man who had experienced
one.
made up of students entirely, not a
conglomerate mass as down town.
They could be made cheaper for the
students and the profits from th
venture used for student purposes.
And they would be under university
control. Better to have the students
dancing on the university campus
than in the dance halls down town,
we think.
At the present time, the university
facilities do not permit the giving of
large parties. Therefore, perhaps,
they should not be too popular. But
with the completion of the new field
house, we suggest to the all-Univer
sity party committee or to the school
authorities, whichever is responsible
for the present system, that the field
house be used for varsity dances,
and that the part idea be droped.
Isn't that a better system than to
keep putting off until the Inst min
ute the manana habit of the Span
iard? Freshmen who take their work
seriously will find that by attending
classes regularly and by keeping reg
ular "office hours" for study every
day, their grades will be satisfactory,
their work will be done, and they
will never be cramped for time, but
will always have plenty of time in
which to go out and get the other
benefits of college. Apply business
principles to your work and watch
the results. The Daily Palo Alio.

Freshmen Schholarship
Now that the initial hubbub and
scurry of registration has passed it
is high time that the freshmen seri
ously consider their position at
Stanford. Evtry year some of the
most promising of the incoming stu
dent fail to do this until it is too
late, and at the end of the first quar
ter find themselves among the
"flunk-outs.'
Star.fsrd is known cs a iujri school
into which to gain admission. Ma
ny declare that it is a terror to stay
in after you have gotten over the
first hump. These students have
but a single reason for such a state
ment they failed to apply them
selves during the quarters when they
might have been piling up honor
points. Probably the movie mania,
or the poker bug, or the love curse,
got the best of them. At least
something entered into the field of
study and won the decisive battle.
A few hours a day of intelligent
application will work wonders with
your grades. College is different
from high school in that professors
do not pass students on their repu
tations. If the student has done the
work he gets the grade. If he doesn't
rate it well it's just too bad, that's
all.
Freshmen owe themselves and
their parents who are sending them
here to apply themselves faithfully.
No one wants you to be a perverted
student. The man who gets straight
A s without tastinfr of a sinele out
ride activity or amusement is to be
condemned and pitied rather than I
praised. By far the greater side of
college is the friendships you will 1 1
make and the broadening influences 1 1
you encounter. A head crammed
with facts and scholastic theories
will be of little avail if you have not
developed the per&on.ility, the poise,
and the physique to go with it.
Therefore, to get the most out of
college an intelligent division of th
twenty-four hours in a day must be
made. A certain time should be
devoted to study, and clases should
be always attended. Don't get in
the habit of class-cutting. It doesn't
pay in the end. When the classes
are over, and the assignments for
the next day are completed, the stu
dent should get out and mix with
the members of the University col
ony. Eut first, be sure and go to
classes and get your work for the
npx-t day. No use developing into a
bookworm or a drudge. A happy
medium is found by getting the daily
assignments and then seeking out
side amusements.
