A Rule Is Only
As Good As
I TNT3ER present university rules no university club
or organization meeting may hold after 8 p. m.
during the week except where special permission of
the Faculty Committee on Student Organizations is
granted for not more than one meeting a month to
hold after this deadline on a mid-week night.
Supposedly this rule is aimed at two things.
First, the general theory of university disciplinary
regulations is to keep students, especially coeds, un
der strict surveillance of someone during all after
dark hours. The rule would, presumably, get the
girls back in their respective houses early In the
evening. Second, the rule, if enforce '.. would keep
mid-week evening hours free for study.
The last, if the same cannot be said ol 11:: first,
is worthy enough in purpose.
However, a rule is only as good as it works out
in operation, no matter what may be its purpose.
In practice the 8 o'clock meeting deadline is re
sponsible for serious inconvenience in the adminis
tration of student "affairs which demand attention
from groups which can meet only in the evening.
Moreover, the rule is violated with regular im
punity by several campus organizations and is ap
plied only spasmodically to the extreme discomfiture
of a few unfortunates. One organization, we call to
mind just at the moment, recently ran into irirtat
ing inconvenience because of this decree. The al
ternatives are to rush business through without
proper consideration or do without meetings.
Would it not be better to repeal or revise the
ordinance to meet the needs of existing conditions
than to attempt to preserve it in theory only to
have it frequently violated? Especially unjustified
is its application to meetings where women students
are not present.
Princeton Performs
A Public Service.
NOTEWORTHY public service is eing per
formed by Princeton university in drawing up
recommendations for revision of the New Jersey
state government on lines of greater efficiency. The
work was undertaken at the request of the governor
of the state.
It is generally conceded by political scientists
that the governmental organization of this country,
fundamentally unchanged since the federal and first
state constitutions were formed in the eighteenth
century, are outmoded and fail to measure up to
the needs of present day conceptions of the func
tions of government.
At the time these first constitutions which
have been a model for those which have come since
were formed, political thinkers held with Thomas
Jefferson that that government is best which gov
erns least. They therefore created governmental or
ganizations laden with checks, balances and safe
guards against usurpation of power which today
creak laboriously under the load of duties which has
been heaped upon them.
This fear f government has long since passed
out of American political theory and government is
expected to do things. Governmental duties and
services which would have been disclaimed as
threatening despotism in 17S3 are demanded in 1932.
Yet the governmental structure of 1783 Is ex
pected to function efficiently under these demands,
although the theories whihe held sway when it was
formed are iong since dead.
This holds for state government as well as the
national organization and in these an appalling: inef
ficiency results from duplication of functions. There

ia need for centralization and elimination of over
lapping spheres of authority.
This need for some sort of revision Is scarcely
questioned. Universities, with trained political au
thorities whose life work, is the study of government
and who are above or apart from petty politics, pro
vide the logical agency for analysis of present de
fects and for making recommendations for change.
New Jersey and Princeton are to be commended
for pointing the way.
Movies for
College Students.
TVER since the advent of a-otton pictures there
has been mucl discussion concerning their value
as an educational medium. The talkies have added
fuel to the fire until certain imaginative individuals
foresee the time when the speaking picture will re
place the professor in the lecture halls of the
schools.
All are agreed that news reels, educational
features and the like have some value as an instruc
tional method. But what of the regular feature pic
tures. Therein lies the bone of contention. Pictures
such as "Scarface," featuring that fine foreign im
portation, Paul Muni, and "Bad Company" have set
ethe tongues of movie opponents wagging.
No sooner, however, than flood of condemnation
has fallen upon the head of box office-conscious
producers, than some well-portrayeu, heart-rending
picture such as "Lovers Courageous" or the equally
pleasing "Young America" makes its appearance
upon the serene and the critics take a slap in the
fact.
v As applied to college students, the question is
one of recreation. The student needs a certain
amount of diversion and the motion picture house
affords the most likely source. But instead of se
lecting a show like those commendable pictures
mentioned above, the young college male is very
much more likely to choose the theatre featuring
the platinum blonde siren of the moment.
Perhaps this is the natural thing for him to do,
inasmuch as he seeks some sort of light, spicy en
tertainment which will provide a direct contrast to
the dull drudgery of hours spent in the classroom
and study hall.
So if Jean Harlow playing in the "Platinum
Blonde" or "The Red-headed Woman" proves to be
a pleasant contrast to school work, why, thinks our
college male, should he not take advantage of it.
It is lamentable, however, that the pictures
which are of real cultural value do not draw a
patronage. Perhaps if this "heav-
ler" type of drama could be made equally enter
taining it would attract the so-called higher class
of customers among whom the college student is
alleged to be included.
Or perhaps if the favorite of the male college
students, as noted and notorious Jean Harlow, could
be played in a "heavy part" in an educational pic
ture, such as "Ben Hur," it would remedy the situa
tion. At least it could not hurt it
Future Campus Beautiful.
fORK has started on wrecking the old houses
which stand on the university grounds facing R
street Two have already disappeared. This will
complete the wrecking of former dormitories for
the present time. Others still stand which are
doomed within a few years. The ground where they
stand will then be landscaped.
This is merely one of many undertakings in
connection with campus improvements. During this
past year much has been done along thzis line. The
new pavebent in front of chemistry ball, construc
tion of and seeding with grass of the new mall, lay
ing of numerous cement walks, planting of shrubs
and trees in various parts of the campus are some
worthy of mention. All these things contribute to
making the city campus much more beautiful than
it was a few years ago.
When this newly created space facing R street
is landscaped, an attractive approtveh to university
grounds will be formed. At present it is barely pos
sible to tell that there is a university here from 13th
street But when landscaping is completed, and
planned new buildings erected, campus beauty will
be visible for many blocks.
The program of beautification of the campus
is being carried on in spite of reduction of funds
available. The Board of Regents is to be com
mended in this respect Although salaries of faculty
members have been reduced and other expenses
eliminated, campus improvement goes on unhamp
ered. This is as it should be. The faculty should ex
pect a cut along with everyone el?. And they
should be commended for the spirit in which they
took this reduction. But with materials so cheap,
now is the time for conHtruction and improvement
In addition, the valuable service is performed of
reducing unemployment by giving many men the
opportunity to work.
Let us hope that nothing will be done to rhange
this policy. If it is continued, much is in store for
the university in the future along all lines. G. H.

Contemporary Comment
J'o Student
Go-Getters.
One of the most vital factors
necessary to the successful exist
ence of the American college to
day Is the employment bureau for
students which is maintained by
university administrations. These
bureaus are frequently strongly
criticized for inability to place all
the students who must have work,
but past experiences have proven
that the leaders of these groups
do manage to obtain jobs for a
large number of undergraduates.
It is therefore surprising news
to hear that there are positions
open for students which the em
ployment bureau's administrators
are unable to fill. Such a situation
exists on this campus and is par
ticularly noticeable in considering
jobs which demand a worker with
a "go-getting" personality aud a
good salesmanship line.
The student who is willing to
work to secure his college educa
tion is generally considered ener
getic and ambitious. Certainly
among the scores of undergrad
uates who applied for scholarships
and loans this year there must be
a sufficient number whose charac
teristics match those required for
these positions.
There may be students on this
campus who need work but who
fear that any menial labor will im
pair their social status. It has
been the experience at Syracuse
university that a large number of
undergT.duate leaders were either
partially or wholly self supporting
during their college days.
It is just as necessary for the
employment bureau to fill offers
of jobs as it is to place students
in positions. If employers dis

Militaristic Tom.
I know of no single incident of
recent months which will hinder
efforts toward disarmament and
peace more than the playing of
the motion picture "Tom Brown of

a clever ftory, so much emphasis
was placed on the glory of mili

Brown's dislike for military train
ing turns into a liking for it and
the subsequent reward as head of

Tom Brown's dislike, bitter as it
was. was no greater than mine.
Unlike Tom I shall never become
reconciled to it. They can never
convince me that military service
is glorious. I never expect to see
any glory in preparing myself in

No longer is a college degree the

Ten thousand unemploved col
lege graduates in the city of New
York alone, is the estimate made
by the association of unemployed
college alumni. These figures do
not coincide with the ballyhoo we
have been fed for years about the
value of a college education. The
woYth of an education is not being
attacked, but too much value has
certainly been placed upon the
possession of a college degree.
The optimistic may argue that
these are not normal times and
perhaps things will soon be dif
ferent, but these are just the times
to prove the value of that sheep

promise to support our country in
war unless morally justified. We
refused to accept the highest type
of patriot our generation has seen.
In so doing we place ourselves at
the mercy of these bigots who, if
they succeed in bringing about an
other war, will end our present
civilization. No price is too high
to pay for peace.
Its security rests in our determi
nation to rid the world of this cle
ment who foolishly believe that the
only way to have peace is to be
prepared. In that belief we are
working from the wrong end of
the problem. We cannot rid our
selves of arms until we have se
cured the good will of nations; un
til we do, arms like the poor will
be with us always. We should
strike out to gain the trust and
good will of nations. We can do
this by being the first to reduce
arms, regardless of what other na- .
tions may do. I am not so reac-
tionary as to believe in total dis
armament tomorrow. But I do fa
vor a twenty-five percent reduc
tion now, twenty-five percent by
1940 and total disarmament by
1955.
Most of our advocators and
workers towards peace are fifty
years ahead of their time. I have
in mind, particularly, a well known
Lincoln minister.
