We sympathize most heartily with the de
posed editor. Mr. Arlett 's editorials were the
most comprehensive, colorful discussions that
wc have fouud in university publications. And
yet the hide bound university ousted him for
'incompetency."
Three fiery editorials paved the short route
to his rapid dismissal. In them he asked
twelve questions, finally charging the Univer

lures them on to disgraceful acts of discipline!
Proselyting is wrong; Arlett scorned the con
ventional bu8h-beatir;y in the statement of his
opinions. He had the courage to face the bom
bardment of athletic propaganda and question
the ethics of a university. For that he was
ousted. Not' because his charges were un-

"audacity to make them.

student editors are chosen because of their
past record and their apparent ability to
handle the problems which may come before
them. We have been under tb impression that
ollege editors should think for themselves and
riot hide under the dogmatic principles of the
majority. The California ease puts a question
mark after this.
Tact and diplomacy are fine things. Torrid
editorials often defeat their own purpose. But
the Daily Californian editor made the Avails
echo with his artful shots; he wrote well.
Youthful editors are inclined to be too softy'
and mushy in their assertions, or. too brazenly
turccful. If we must choose between the two,
we take the latter and congratulate Arthur
Arlett for his defiance of corseted propriety,
though it ended in his dismissal.

that perhaps the funniest bits from the western
magazines might also be a trifle off-color, and
that the type of "jokes" that the coast editors
wished to have reprinted might not be funnv
at all.
If the best the western sheets have to offer
for reprinting is a bit off-color, and the wise
cracks that aro in their opinion "typical of
college life". arc not. worth the ink it takes to
print them, it seems, to us they have a verv
poor case against College Humor.
Ajcain. there was no line drawn as to the
varying moral effect of printing "spicy" items
in their own columns, and having these Mime
items reprinted. To do it at home seems much
better than to do it elsewhere. We wonder

Total of 196,269 Men and
Women Earn Educations
In Year 1927-28.
AUSTIN, Tex. During 1927-28
a total of 162,413 men and 33,
856 women students in the United
States were earning their way
through college, according to
statistics compiled by Miss lone
Pettey Spears, University of
Texas graduate, whose thesis for
her master's degree was written
on the subject "Student Employ
ment at the university of Texas."
For a number of years Miss
Spears has been student life sec
retary for women at the uni
versity and In that capacity as
sisted hundreds of university girls

ployment. One-third Work.
In 1927-28 one-third of all col
lege students in the United States
contributed toward their support.
Miss Spears' data shows. In the
coeducational institutions, 40 per
cent of the students were era-
ployed. 49 percent of the men
and 26 percent of the women
One-sixth of all college students
were entirely self-supporting in
1927-28. That year, college men
and women earned 132.500,000.
The number of men earning their
expenses and their total earnings
is practically five times that of
women.
Of the 1,068 institutions from
which Miss Spears secured data
in 1H, 763 provide in some
manner for .student needing ma
terial help. These 763 schools
are located in every state in the
United States and register 84
percent ot all college men and
women.
Few Opportunities.
Opportunities for work at the
university were few during the
early years after the opening
of the Institution in 1883. In
general the idea of working while
going to school was not in the
consciousness of the student
body. Although women entered
the first year, there were few
women attempting to work be
fore 1900, while quite a number
of men were working during the
ten years before.
The university established a
few assistantships, and a few
students earned a part of their

MANHATTAN, Kas. A glider,
constructed and owned by the
Kansas State Aeronautical so

short flights on that date and on j
the next day after a few adjust

dozen successful trips into the air.

Revolt among American college
students against conventional
church -attendance does not point
to a decay of Interest or to a
growth of collegiate Irrellgion m
the opinion of the president of
Cornell college, Mount Vernon, In.
The answers to a religious ques
tionnaire circulated among thn
studenta of the college were tho
basts for the opinion.
Of course, the questionnaire was
answered by a Hmnll group of stu
dents of a middla western Institu
tion where religious training Is
emphasized, and from that ono
cannot draw tho conclusion that
all college students are like those
of Cornell college. Yet tholr opin
ions cannot help but reflect on a
small scale the thoughts that are
churning in the minds of college
students everywhere.
As the result of the question
naire, a course in "religious orien
tation" is being established at the
school, an Interesting experiment
which will bear watching by mod
ern educators.
In explaining some results of tho
questionnaire, Prof. O. V. Jackson,
head of the department of religion
of that school, said, "Reality of
prayer and worship vied In student
Interest with the perennial prob
lem of science and religion. On tho
other hand, church and sacra
ments,' and the problem of God
seem to have supplanted some of
the more morbid and introspective
discussion that occupied student
attention in other times."

Ao Frea Meals ,
For. the Cu$tomer$.
Rush wek will not b a time of free meals
for rushees at the University of Minnesota next
fall. The Jnterfraternity council has come to
the aid of Greek hosts and passed a regulation
requiring prospective pledges to pay for their
own rush week chow.
Helicving that this expense should not be
shouldered by the fraternities, the Greek body
iins acted. Jt suspects that many freshmen
h;ie dined too well and too cheaply at the
expense of fraternities and that it would be,
fairer for them to pay their own checks. Not
a bad idea !
Dollars disappear rapidly during rush week.
Disguising their tables with delectable dishes,
fraternities spend large sums of money to im
press tha horde of rushees which visits them.
In relieving them of this purse strain the Inter
fratcmity council of Minnesota has acted
rather wisely.
Naturally, the enforcement of tho new rule
will involve some difficulties. If Greeks co.
operate, however, a certtin cut of the rushing
Jbill will be placed where it. rightly belongs.
