Circulation Manager VOLUNTARY ATTENDANCE Seniors nt Harvard University will be allowed to atend classes at their discretion, according to a new ruling made by the faculty. This is similar to rules at other eastern colleges, where the senior, or junior and senior, classes are placed upon . their own responsibility. The rule hns advantages. Stu dents who have reached the junior or senior years in college should be possessed of sufficient intellect to grasp the idea that unless they at tend classes with fair regularity the time of reckoning will come. If they do not have n large enough bump of responsibility to see this they might as well discover it by being summarily ejected from the college. Again, the rule may work for greater freedom for the students and consequently greater interest in their work. There is an adage that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Like wise with the student: you may make him go to class, but you cannot make him work. On the contrary, compulsory attendance at class, for the older students, may tend to make him think he is taking a course be cause someone is making him, and not because he wants to. His work will suffer accordingly. Some misgivings have ben felt by those who have considered the plan but its success where it has been tried has been encouraging. FLAMING YOUTH The Lincoln Star, In an editorial entitled "Exuberant Youth," Com ments on the fact that a number of college editors have been fired be cause they have either attempted to pass judgment upon their elders or because they have been too oppress ive in their interpretation of life The editorial comments upon the flaming youth of today, and notes with alarm with the passing years it seems to be sizzling more than ever. The editorial end3 on a pa ternal note, when its comments. "What we need is a few more old fashioned spankings." With all due regard for the Star, we disagree with it entirely. , Wo hardly consider it out of place for youth to pass judgment upon its ciders. All intelligent people pass judgments, and surely youth cannot be condemned for forming some conclusions on the action of its eld ers. Dr. George A. Coe, of the Teachers College of Columbia Uni versity, discusses the matter in his book, "What Ails Youth?" He says: "May it not be what we have been calling an ailment of youth is in part just a natural and valuable varia bility that is bunglesome because it has been educationally martyred." Youth, The Star implies, should ac cept the judgments of its elders without question, without thought. We disagree. Unless youth can gain its own experience it will be a rather vacuous tribe when the time comes for it to take charge. The action taken at the colleges where the editors were expelled for their criticism was, in our opinion foolish and detrimental to true eda cation, unless the offenses the edi tors committed bordered on inde cency. . At schools where the officials are foresighted the editors are not muz zled. At Harvard and Illinois such is the case. We have done some criticizing ourselves this year, and have aroused the ire of various mem bers of the faculty and some stu dents, but our job has been none theless secure. Perhaps youth's judgments are un justified, but it will not promote his intelligence or independence of EDUCATION (Indiana Daily Student) Much critiscism is directed toward colleges by persons who say the graduate is no more fitted for life's pursuits than the young man or wo man who has not attended colleges This is true in many individual cases, but largely through no fault of col leges. It is the general impression that a high school pupil by coming to college and spending four years thereby takes on a halo of knowl edge that can only be obtained in an institution of higher learning. Ail that college can do is to pro vide trie environment ana the asso ciations that make it easier for the student. A person does not have to attend college in order to "train his powers of observation, thinking and reflection through gain in knowl edge." Indeed, some of our most earned and famous men never saw the inside of a college, proving the point that education is a voluntary process, and that no person or insti tution can educate any one. Education, as Wallace Buttrick puts it, is never completed, but is as long as life. The failure of so many students to understand this is why college graduates and colleges are subject to so much criticism. The graduate has had a bit of history, some literature, a little seiesce, this, that and the other thing enough to obtain a diploma and there is where most students stop. They fail to realize that education is a life-long process, and forgetting half they have learned, because of the "inevit able shrinkage of mentality," they lay themselves open to criticism. Students, if they have not acquired good habits before coming to college, should by all means do so before leaving. It is essentiul that the stu dent acquire a "capacity for intelli gent self-direction." Again refer ing to Mr. Buttrick, it is pointed out that "a fault with education in Amer ica is too much teaching, too much prescribing of what shall be learned and how it shall be learned." it Yelping Alumni' Are Menace To Football Says Writer in Outlook An anonymous writer in The Out look of January Cth states that the matter with college football is the "yelp! t alumni." An editorial com ment states that the writer of this article is closely identified with col lege athletics and a keen student of football. The biggest menace to college football today," he says, "is the yelp ing alumni. A team must win. A coach must turn out a winning team or -the Roman mob turns thumbs down and off comes his head." "Halfback Grange is a quite nat ural evolution of the college football system. He is simply tho forerunner of other star players who will join professional teams. A star football player is glorified, defied, and his true importance on tho campus mag nified until all sense of values is lost" The writer then takes tho case of a youngster entering a big college. Ho is filled with ambition to play ootball. But he comes from a high school whose team had littJo reputa tion, and he is side-tracked by the coaches, who prefer those players who come with ready-made reputa tions. Therefore, tho writer con eludes, "The boys who actually need the coaching and the physical and mental development don't get it! The stalwarts who need it least get all of itl That's why I say that football in colleges has been perverted." Tho author suggests as a remedy that tho college coaching staff or ganize at the beginning of the Bca son a great many campus teams to play against one another, and there by give the benefits of the game to all interested. He closes with a plea to "Put football back into its origi nal plnce in the sveheme of college things." He is opposed to the "non sense or . choosing 'All-American teams or any other kind of 'All' teams." Ho states now that Walter Camp is dead that such compilations are worthless and that even in the last ten years of Walter Camp's life his selections were, superhuman task and did not meet favor everywhere. "So let's bo reasonable," says the author, "and stop this peculiarly American brand of nonsense. Let's get back to normalcy!" at the Rosewllde, Thursday, Janu arv 21. a t6:30 o'clock may get tickets from Mrs. Axtell or Mrs, Brown In Miller and Palne's rest room betweon two and fiva Saturday afternoon or by calling Mrs. I. 0.
