Getting Set
For Four Years.
A majority of the freshman student body that
enters the university at the opening of each year
is bewildered, and a good percentage of that group
is still at a loss three years later. In these days
of little opportunity and economic distress it is diffi
cult to decide on a certain field of study, and to con
centrate on that line for four years. Facing many
students is a seemingly insurmountable wall await
ing them on commencement day, waiting to thwart
them in their attempts to make a living and to live
a full life.
It is the duty of the university administration
and teaching staff to acquaint each newcomer with
the campus, the university and its purposes, the va
rious divisions of the institution, and to let him
know what is expected of him during his attend
ance at the school.
The largest college on this campus, and on
most others, is the Arts and Sciences college. Most
of the freshmen who enter that division are there
because they don't know exactly what to do. They
haven't singled out any specialized field in which
they are vitally enough interested to take it up as a
major.
For Arts and Sciences freshmen there is a course
termed Freshman Lecture, designed to acquaint
students in that college with the numerous depart
ments of the university, and in that way to help
them locate themselves in a field to which they are
well adapted. Many freshmen fail to appreciate the
value of this course, altho most of them reap the
good of it unconsciously.
It is the purpose of the Arts and Sciences col
lege to offer each student a full and cultural edu
cation as well as to place him in some specialized
field. With the world demanding more and more
Insistently the man of broad knowledge with a full
personality in addition to a knowledge of facts, the
Arts and Sciences college fills an important niche in
educational balls.
Freshman students should by this time be fair
ly well adjusted to their new mode of living, and
should also have established study habits. Many
seniors, however, are still attempting to force them
selves to study. Educators as well as students are
confused as to Just how to turn out the finished
and well-rounded man and woman from this uni
versity.
In every senior class graduated at commence'
ment exercises in the coliseum there are examples
of various types the grind, the athlete, the social
hound, the activities man, and all too few .students
worthy of the name. The true student manages to
develop some vision and sense of proportions In com
bining the various elements of college life as they
should be combined.
The grind has grades galore, but in compiling
them he has lost some precious elements that
awaited him when he entered college. He has a
warped or deficient personality, has a mind stuffed
with knowledge that he has failed to associate with
outside life and common sense. The true grind has
learned his facts, earned his grades, but knows all
too little about his fellow men.
There is no need of reviewing each of these
types. The facts are apparent and very well demon
strated in individuals on all parts and in all de
partments of the campus.
St
It is to be hoped that as many members of this
year's freshman class as possible will be graduated
as real students three and a half years from now.
Every facility for advancement and guidance of
each new student is being used by the teaching staff
of the university.
In cooperating with his instructors and advis
ors each student should think seriously about his
special abilities and try to determine what is the
field to which he is especially well adapted. Making
a choice is difficult, but the student must choose,
While each undergraduate is attempting to find
himself there is an undercurrent of controversy and
disagreement pervading the campus, the ever-present
argument between vocationalists, ranting and
otherwise, and the supporters of the broad and cul
tural education.
Keep Young
And Healthy.
With the advent of the first cold weather in
an unusually mild and pleasant autumn season uni
versity students are being forced to spend a bit
more of their time indoors than at any previous
time this fall. From now until the opening of the
spring cheeks made rosy by plenty of fresh air will
become pale, some of us will get sluggish, and our
studies will euffer.
The importance of regular exercise and a boun
tiful supply of fresh air in the life of a person can't
be over-emphasized. College work demands a
wealth of energy, alertness, and what might be
called pick-up. During the winter season such traits
are noticeably lacking among undergraduates, and
for that matter, faculty members.
To be lazy is the easiest thing in the world, and
the refusal to keep oneself physically fit is an ex
pression of laziness in its most foolish form.
It wouldn't be a bad idea for every student to
allot himself a certain amount of time each day for
brisk walk, calisthenics, swimming, hand-ball,
basketball, or some other form of exercise so that
he can be capable, alert, and efficient.
In the coliseum and stadium this school offers
en students full opportunity for exercise and good
conditioning. Additional lockers have been installed
in the coliseum this fall to take care of an increase
in the number of men using the plant. There are
the facilities, and it is every young man's duty to
keep himself physically fit.
Faculty members are in a position to appreciate
good condition in the student body. It is difficult to
lecture to a bunch of sleeping invalids.
During examination week each semester many
professors advise members of their classes to set
aside an hour a day for exercise. It is a demon
strated fact that if a student exercises for an hour
and follows that with an hour of concentrated study.
he will get more done than if he attempts to study
for a two hour period.
Contemporary
Comment
The Stale Turns
Out Citizens ...
Only in rarest moments of tran
quility may thought be devoted to
such academic questions as why
the state should devote three to
five million dollars a year sending
8,000 students from Michigan
and other states through the uni
versity. The question is purely academic
because neither the rankest radical
nor the veriest conservative thinks
to question the place of the state
university in the scheme of things.
Every school boy knows that edu
cation is a great thing, that it's a
fine old democratic institution, and
that you can't have too much of it.
Education is a thing that must be
treated reverently: if you can't get
it. you feel righteous about helping
some one else get it.
Supposedly, however, university
education has some better justifi
cation than the fact that millions
vaguely "feel" It to be a matter
established by divine right.
What the university does or at
tempts to do may be fairly easily
determined and analyzed. First, it
trains students to earn a living in
a specialized field. Second, it
teaches students to think clearly,
logically, and without prejudice on
any subject. Third, it offers a
fuller appreciation of life through
the study of how other men have
lived and what they have thought.
Lastly, it affords an opportunity
for social contacts and practical
experimentation in group living.
Just what emphasis should be
placed on each of these aims and
where one blends Into another is
not the question here.
Granted that the university does
all these fine things, there is still
the question of why. Simple, you
say. Education makes btiU-r citi
zens and better citizens make a
better state. Perhaps it would be
closer to the truth to say that edu
cation produces "smarter" citizens,
but that smarter citizens do not
always make a better state.
If college so equips its students
that they are cabled to go out and
prey more efficiently on their fel
low men for individual advance
ment, then education Is not giving
us better citizens. Men may nut
go out grimly determined to fleeca
widows and orphans of their lsst
dollar, but they do graduate with
a frame of mind that discounts
much of the idealism they have
bn exposed to. They grant what
a fine place the world might be if
people acted like they talk, but
they are only more firmly con
vinced that practical considerations
make it necessary for them to fight
a hard and selfish battle.

Ending H iih
A Kiss.
In the metropolitan papers of
some few weeks back, there ap
peared a news item startling in its
revelation of the corruption and
dark-dealing that go on in our
prominent secondary schools in an
effort to produce winning football
teams.
It seems that the Loomis eleven
was about to meet a highly touted
bunch of toughs from up Deerfield
way, and the team, coaching staff,
and student body were trembling,
collectively and individually at the
thought of the impending shellack
ing. But sweet are the uses of ad
versity, and some clever alumnus,
or someone else in power turned on
the heat, and Miss Bette Davis, of
Hollywood fame, rose magnificent
ly to the occasion. Casting mod
esty, prudery, and other such
doubtful virtues to the winds, she
offered to bestow a resounding
kiss in her best cinema manner up
on anyone who should score for
dear old Loomis. The boys rose
to the occasion too. In fart they
couldn't be kept down, and in a
whirlwind afternoon routed the
amazed LVerfield behemoths by
some such score as 2H to 0. One
lucky halfback tallied twice, and
all the heroes were publicly re
warded before the cheering school
the next day.
r.ow this state of affair is:
reprehensible. In fact it should not i
exist. This corruption of our '
young men in the name of sport I
most certainly mu.-it stop. Besides
what claim have the prep schools
when mighty Institutions like Har- I
vard suffer thru the lack of the :
ministration of Miss Davis and her
ilk. Perhaps, oh happy thought,
perhaps honeyed words and the
promise of a major H might lure
her to New Haven next Saturday.

average procedure, 60 per cent of
the students will hurriedly eat
their Sunday noon dinner so that
they can reach the theater before
2:30 o'clock and see a movie at the
minimum cost of 25 cents.
Such a type of relaxation and
recreation will probably be of
great benefit to students who have
been attending five or six days of
classes. However, to the student
who is financially embarrassed the
art lectures might not be as fore
boding as it might appear.
To most students, art is some
thing that wealthy individuals pay
a tremendous amount of money to
have in their homes. It is usually
thought of as something lofty, in
spiring, and cultivating, but never
interesting. For this reason the
average student leaves the subject
of art out of his scope of intellec
tual and healthy studies. No man's
education, however, is complete
without some ability, some appre
ciation of art as it appears in
everyday life. And since most stu
dents on this campus are po-e"e
with the idea of getting all they
can out of the university without
returning anything, the art lec
tures should have some appeal to
them for this sole reason.
Students, in general, have an
overpowering fear that they might
accidentally learn something of
matters that are not directly in
their field of specialization. Be
cause they wish to avoid this par
ticular type of contamination they
shun subjects of general cultural
value such as art, if they are not
majoring in this subject.
And after reading this editorial
80 per cent of the students will be
reminded that a particularly good
movie is being shown this after
noon. Daily lllinl.

wait until afterwards to receive
congratulations and for the re
