COMPENSATION
The press and especially the college press has re
cently been carrying stories concerning the declaration
of a prominent physician that every passionate kiss
shortens' an individual's life just three minutes. The
doctors judgment is based on the assumption that every
human heart has a certain number of potential beats in
it. The act of kissing, they say, causes the heart to
beat faster, using up just that much quicker the num
ber of beats allotted to it
The reasoning in all this sounds quite logical, es
pecially when it is uttered from the mouth of one who
is assumed to be an authority on the subject of human
life.
It is all probably a physical illustration again of
the truths enunciated in Emerson's essay on Compen
sation. Everything is paid for in the end. The ones
who do their kissing and necking to excess now, will
probably find thtmselves burnt out later oh a long time
before they would have if they had exercised a bit of
discretion. In fact it is a common saying of some races
that their individuals in youth are gloriously young and
passionate, but that in a few years they age rapidly,
grow haggard and die young.
Whether such a future is in store for the many
thousands of young men and women who have foolishly
necked away for countless hours, is probably hard to
predict It is something, though, that might reasonably
be expected.
So much for the physical side of it alone, the min
utes and hours of life. There is still another angle
from which the inevitable law of compensation will
probably exact its toll.
These young men and women who are indiscrimi
nately and excessively using up their physical passion
are toying with one of the priceless treasures of life.
They are degrading to .vulgarity the svoetest and most
sacred bond between the sexes.
They may think they are having a good time of it
now, they probably are, but the time of reckoning will
come some day.
They will find they have debased in great part a
side of their nature which was intended to be kept pure
and sweet, and to be indulged in only with their life
mate. When that life mate comes into their lives seme
day, they will find hey hsve destroyed something, pro
bably not entirely, heaven help them if they have, but
they will find their union just a little bit less sacred,
just a little bit less enchanting, a bit more vulgar and
a bit more prosaic than fliey dreamed of in the days
when they thought about their future prince charming
or the girl of their dreams.

Fraternities Ruin College Athletics
"Cheap, trashy fraternity politics have ruined more
athletic teams than all the gamblers and over-enthusiastic
alumni twice over" vehemently asserts "Cap"
Maynor former Big Ten and Missouri Valley coach, in
a published tirade on Greek orders and college athletics.
In this assertion he is backed up by Ndse Norgen
former coach at Utah University, who is now assisting
Alonzo Stagg at Chicago. iNorgen states that fraternity
meddlesomeness was the only obstacle he encountered
while in charge at Salt Lake.
Maynor attributes the athletic success of Notre
Dame, Army and Navy to the fact that the schools do
not tolerate fraternities. ,
In elaborating on his anti-fratfarnity assertion,
Maynor goes on.
"It is only natural that star athletes should be
desirable and sought after by all the fraternities. But
kicking, complaining and laying down on the job simply
because some little saphead fraternity brother is warm
ing the bench when some one else, a better man, is in
the game, is low down rotten and this seems to be the
policy of many of these loafing clubs.
"One fraternity in a Rocky Mountain conference
school openly boasts that they have gotten rid of two
coaches since the war and that they expect to tack the
pelt of a third to the south end of the gymnasium be
fore he year is over. This brag is probably true.
"While it must be splendid sport the authorities of
the school concerned would do well to divert the atten
tion of these athletic perverts into other channels. Time
was when a man might be killed just to get him out of
the way but the human society frowns upon such acts
these days.
"Juvenile enthusiasm is fine and is to be expected
of growing boys. But the pathetic part of it all is some
school daddies pet and pamper these cake eaters into
the idea that soon they will be running the world. If
they run the old sphere as haphazardly as they try to
run athletic teams the old apple is in for a dizzy spin
one-of these days.
"This haymaker is not meant for fraternities in
general. Some of them will not tolerate rottenness in
any form. Many have been known to dismiss athletes
who persist in breaking training and neglect to give
their best.
"The bellows who make trouble are the greasy
knobbed, hornrimmed sports who imagine that the col
lege will be turned into a home for the ieeble minded
when they finally graduate and are palmed on the world.

Defining a. Professor's Standard of Luring
Almost ever since teaching became generally re
cognized as a means of livelihood, complaints have been
forthcoming from interested quarters' that the pay, or
reward in whatever form it was accorded, was inade
quate for the work done. Hence it is no new con
clusion that has been reached in the Harvard Alumni
iVaiictin, when it urges that, while the position of a
r.Tvri professor gives Krm the" clothes of a high social
"ut., lha tu.Uiy oi Il'wvard professor does not
; t the noney in YAi pocket to maintain it, and recom-
inniiH trior to tirntom in-rn- '
itieg througHoatJhe'Un'ted RtteA, be t?kcn up by tho
American Association of University Professors. It is
somewhat refreshing, however, to find associated with
these grievances1 some strictly practical suggestions for
their remedying. '
One reads in the bulletin, for example, that if a
Harvard professor is to establish a home and, bring up
a family with ordinary prudence not on professional
standards, but on standards far less critical he must
earn at least a third as much again as his regular salary.
For, the question is asked, how can such an one under
present conditions, find time and leisure to think and
write? The further contention is put forward that the
Harvard community defines the Harvard professor's
standard of living in the very opposite of abstract philo
Bophic terms, and this definition emphasizes the fact
that no Harvard teacher can live as he ought to live on
his regular academic salary alone.'
The writer of the article in the bulletin, however,
is evidently possessed of a considerable degree of
humor. That spaciousness of life, he urges, which
helps most toward wide vision, freshness of outlook
and keenness of appreciation "is not the product of
calculation as to the relative values of a general servant
(vanishing species anyway) and an advance from the
Ford class to the Dodge." "In fine, the professorial
standard of living is not to be maintained on the pro-
fessioral earnings without such camouflages, councils of
war, and deferrings of hope as will make the means
defeat the end."
All in all, just the same, this problem as stated in
the bulletin is simply a part of the larger problem as to
adequate compensation for those engaged in the in
strction of others. It is strange that such rarely are
paid as much as they should be, when comparisons are
made with those equally skilled in other lines of human
activity. And it is a promising fact that the question
is being brought out for public discussion.
Christian Science Monitor
"College Days"
Once again, it seems, from the depths of directorial
ignorance has a motion picture of life in the colleges
been concocted. Another studio on the Gold Coast has
seen fit to offer to its public a celluloid representation
of the campus and its inhabitants without being espec
ially particular about the veracity of its version.
"College Days", a recent release purporting to de
pict life on the campuses of Leland Stanford and Cali
fornia universities, contain such a flagrant misrepre
sentation of life at those institutions that the students
have raised their voices loudly in protest. It is charged
that the makers of the film have proved that they know
utterly nothing about college life. And if any body of
people should be competent to judge the truth of the
depiction it is the students who are living the life in
question.
This is no new error. "The Plastic Age," shown
in these parts early last summer, was a patently un
natural representation of life on the college campuses
unnatural to the point of nausea to anyone whose
knowledge of the colleges was not of the limited and
distorted variety apparently extant on the movie lots
and in the library of the more sensational novelists.
Nor has the error previously gone unchallenged. No
innocent blue directorial eyes can be lifted with a
plaintive "We don't know." "Brown of Harvard" was
similarly objected to by the students of Harvard.
College stories have long been a popular reliance
by the movie-makers, as it has been with the playwrights
and the story-writers. And with almost complete un
animity have the realties of college life been violated
to appease the gum-chewers in the two-bit seats, but
the majority have been rather innocent affairs with
girls in white, turt.le-npoVed sweaters and boy3 who
wear funny round hats and have a noticeable fondness
for penants as wall decorations. But some of the more
recent output have been far from the harmless little
things of the turtle-necked sweaters and funny caps.
Apart from a distinctly unwholesome series of episodes
upon which the "appeal" depends, they have been pro
pagating an entirely and vicious untrue conception of
the college man and his mode of life.
As yet, we in the colleges of the middle west have
not been chosen to be held up to the moving picture
public as we aren't and r.ever hope to be. We hope that
our immunity will continue.

A Good Investment
A college course is a good business investment.
Each diploma given from the University of Onla
homa represents the expenditure of $3,000 in actual
cash. The time involved, with a conservative esti
mate placed upon the earning power of the average
student, should be worth another $3,000. That is
$6,000 without the interest element considered.
Not all business enterprises are successful. Many
investments, especially those coming in the class of
speculations, mean losses. Yet the opportunity for
jsuiu in all business ventures is attractive enough to
draw the attention of investors and to offset propor
tionate risk.
That is the way with an investment in college.
The average stock purchaser, whether he be the parent
or the student himself, usually receives a reasonable
rate of return on hip. investment. Others, however, are
not so fortunate. The value of the stock they have pur
chased gradually declines in values or is shown inactive
in post-graduate bulletins. This is evidence that the
investor made an unwise selection or that he did not
understand the stock plan. Many times the manipula
tion of stock, the buying and selling at a profit, ac
counts for the success of the venture.
Six thousand tlollais invested in a college educa
tion degree is one of the safest investments offered.
The proportion of failures to successes is sufficient
proof of this. Chance of great gain puts it on the board
with speculations, while the risk of loss is slight indeed.
The best railroad or industrial stock listed today
offers a return of only 7 1-2 per'-ctent yearly on the
investment. Were reports on college investments avail
able, they would show seven times that

A Scientist's Judgment
Thomas Edison believes that the youth of today
are far superior to the youth of the last generation, for
the reason that the present state of knowledge is better..
In an interview for the Forum the great inventor
praises the modern system of sports as a successor of
the dirsipation program of past years. Edison believes
work is the world's greatest fun.
- And the race is healthier, due largely to the sports
program and the release from prejudice and taboo.
The dress of women is becoming "simpler and more
beautiful." Flappers are not new. Cleopatra had her
lipsticks. People have danced since Eden days.
Unrest may be divine. Thus Edison describes the
anti-stagnation activity of modern young people. Ac
cordingly, "Interest and simplicity should be the key
note of education." Dull complexities cannot fascinate
the young. Co-education can. Edison thinks thai
educating girls and boys together distract' . attention
from study. Like a good chap he is r ot emihatic, how
ever. Yet we may have gone too far in free discussion.
To talk on any subject in any mixed group is merely
stupidly robbing life of all its reservations.
Edison answers the drinking charge in his state
ment that oneoes not judge the mass of youth by the
few morons who over-indulge in alcohol.
Intelligent thinking coupled with the realization of
the common danger of modern scientific warfare will
iltlnmteir outlaw war. Wii.h their divine restlessness
and their suspicion for sentimentality and legend, the
young people can direct the world for peace.

contended that the affirmative had

The rebuttals that followed were

laughter from the audience.
An open forum discussion followed
