This first Eastern Intercollegiate
Chin Golf Contest, to be lef creed
by Grantland Rice, sportswriter,
will be held April 3, at 6:13 p. m.
in New York City and will be
broadcast by station WOT"..
The game's object, as explained
in the Rule book of the United
States Chin Golf association, is "to
promote skill and success in the
shaving of the face and to trans
form this morning task from its
present state of profane drudgery
into a sport worthy of participa
tion by civilized man." Enthusiasm
fur the new shave game was
voiced in an editorial in the Lon
don Times, part of which is quot
ed: "Shaving is not to be a soli
tary and penitential morning rite,
a time for gloomy reflection, for
staring into the mirrored picture
of an unattractive face and for
nursling into ill timed soliloquy.
It is to become a sport and the
day is to be started ,as sportsmen
would wish to start it, with a
game, tne game of Chin Golf."

NOTES RELATION OF
CULTURE, CLIMATE
I Dr. Wheeler Finds Definite
: Agreement Between
I Two Cycles.
i MANHATTAN, Kas., April 22.
J An astonishing agreement be
tween the culture cycles of civiliz
ation, and climatic cycles has been
observed by Dr. Raymond H,
1 Wheeler, professor of psychology
J at the University of Kansas,
i "Periods of absolutism in gov
ernment that go with the develop
j ment of intense nationalisms and
empires, occur as climate is
( changing from a cold, dry era, to
; a warm, wet era," declared Pro-
lessor Wheeler, in an address here
I this morning before the Kansas
I Academy of Science. 1
! Studies Cultural History.
I Professor Wheeler said that j
j some three years ago, when work- ;
ing on a problem in the history j
; of psychology, he noted that points i
, of view revealed a definite se- j
; quence and alternation, and that
this sequence and alternation was
i duplicated In the other sciences in
a strikingly synchronized fashion.
This led him to a more intensive
study of cultural history in gen
eral. "The outcome of the study
showed that history has followed
definite cycles in which a large
number of cultural variables shift
from one total complex to its op
posite," he said. "Part of this com
plex is military and political; for
example, socialistic dictatorships
alternate with individualistic re
actions and revolutions. Along
with these vibrations, so to speak,
we have corresponding shifts in
science, philosophy, literature, and
art.
Mathematical Key.
"Eventually, it became appar-
cut that there was a mathemati- j
cal key by means of which these
cycles could be represented in the
form of a, curve. The properties
of this curve suggested that the
cycles were physical as well as
cultural. It was found that the
cultural cycles and climatic cycles
agreed in an astonishing fashion.
"Just as periods of absolutism
coincide with change to a warm,
wet era, so democratic and in
dividualistic eras develop as cli
mate is shifting to cold, dry peri
ods. This sort of thing has been
going on not only during historic
times, hut through hundreds of
thousands of years prior to the
ancient civilizations of Egypt,
Babylonia, and Greece.
"It appears that qlimatic and
cultural fluctuations in more re
cent times are geological as well
and constitute the end of a series
of cycles that is billions of years
long. These cycles have been ac
celerating at a very rapid rate,
and the series stops in the very
near future. Mathematical models
have been made that indicate the
possibility some time in the fu
ture of making long-time weather
predictions, in regard to trends,
if the curves represent reality, the
conclusion is inevitable that we
are now living between two ice
ages and extreme fluctuations in
climate.
"The practical bearing of the
I study is that civilization must
, learn how to stabilize itself polici-
cally. economically, and socially,
I on a world-scale; it must learn
how to plan ahead in order to sur
vive; and the science of psyschol
op.y must assume an important
I place in a now applied science of
social engineering.
Even scholnstically bum college
students make poor hoboes. This
announcement comes straight
from the dean the dean of Amer
ican hoboes, one Dan O'Brien.
"As iloim of the Hobo collece ot
America, I am aware that to be
' come and remain a hobo one has
1 to have these superior qualities:
first, courage; second, a desire to
; travel, see things and learn, and,
last, a strong constitution and tre
! mondous power of adjustment and

! freedom and beauty," adds Dr.

How About
TIie.e Picnic?
We attempted to find out the
ideas which this balmy weather
gave certain members of the much
publicized younger generation. Do
they prefer a picnic, or a fishing
expedition, to a class?
Now that it's spring, what do
you like to do? Why? Charles
Tanton, Bizad junior.
"I long to climb the mountains
(or anyway the hills) breath deep
ly of the fresh air. and play Tar
zan in the trees. The contrast be
tween such forms of amusement
and my daily life is so great that
I am exhilarated just by the
thought. A word of advice as to
picnics, though; never take any
thing along to drink except milk.
Milk is an Invigorating beverage
and a source of energy that will
send you to the heights. Take
along a blanket so if you get lost
you can build a fire and send
smoke signals to the people who
are looking for you. Roll call,
conducted systematically every
half hour is good, too."

me, it's an impossibility to have
nnp without food. It isn't half so
! much fun when you don't have
something to eat to son oi neip
you pass the hours until evening.
On the subject of the lunch, I don't
like milk; instead, I have an in
satiable craving for root beer.
Since there is such a scarcity of
roots in Nebraska, however, I
stick to water.
I feel that a person's education
Is not complete until he has been
on some Nebraska picnics. They
promote health, and group co-operation,
to say nothing of all the
joy they scatter around."
I Douglas Hall,. Bizad junior:
"Agreeing with those who come
I before me, I say that picnics are
the chief source of my spring
i joys. I feel that it is very bene
ficial for a man to go out and let
! himself go. I enjoy letting the
adolescent crop out in me once
' more, and plaving the games I
used to like. Give me a cool place
beneath a shady tree, a girl so
I'll have someone to talk to, a
couple of steaks to munch on, and
I'll have a perfect day. Picnics in
general promote a feeling of good
fellowship and brings one into
closer contact with mother nature
and incidentally with his fellow
Damon Sanden:
"I hate picnics. All you do is
drive for miles and oat something
with ants and bugs and ashes in
it. My idea of a swell day would
be to fill the car with gas and
Delta Gammas and start for Hol
lywood." Bob Evans, Arts and Sciences
freshman:
"I don't like pionics either
too much dirt gets in your hair.
There are two sides to me the
cultured man and the beast. The
cultured side aches to go for a
ride in the forest-covered moun
tains, and breathe in the crisp
morning air. The other side longs
for girls in a car on a warm moon
light night."
James McDonald, Arts and Scien
ces junior:
"I want to play tennis. The
warm sun is hard on studies, but
I'm sure that my tennis wouldn't
be bothered a bit. Spring makes
me feel more like going for a
ride, walk, or a show, than study
ing. Another thing, I'd like to go
fishing. It would be really swell
to sit in the sun and sleep, and in-

no one to bother him."
Carroll Garey, Ag college sopho
more: "I get a kick out of sitting in
the Awgwan office and listening to
Hollister trying to think up jokes.
In the spring, I'm in a mood to
laugh at them, but the rest of the
time, they're a pain in the neck.
I enjoy picnics, too. According
to my opinion, you can have a
very satisfactory one without food,
too. It's good for your soul to
commune with nature, the birds,
and the bees especially the bees."
Bill Marsh, Engineering college
junior:
"I call it fishing. Give me a
spot on a river bank in the sun. No
bait on my hook, so I won't be
disturbed, and I'll really have a
swell time just dozing. However,
I will go home and study."

Bert Hartzell, Arts and Sciences
junior:
"This is the best time of the
year to take pictures, especially
of the coeds as they blossom out

to go automobile riding, too.

SWARTHMORE PREXY

NOT PEAK STRIKES
tnternational Cooperation
Necessary for True
Anti-War Feeling.
NEW YORK, N. Y. (ACI'i.
Students might just as well strike
for better weather as engage in
peace strikes.
That is what Dr. Frank
Aydelotte, president of Swarth
more College, told members of the
pcace-in-education conference of
the Public Education Association.
World peace must be a by
product of justice and cannot come
from negative protests against
diplomats and munition makers,
he asserted.
"We, as a people, are willing to
demonstrate for peace; we are
ready to march in processions, to
curse diplomats and bankers and
other imaginary I'evlls and t" do
many things equally irrelevant,"
said Dr. Aydelotte.
College Peace Strikes.
"An excellent example is the
peace strike engaged in by college
students all over the country. I
would not for the world criticize
the good faith and idealism of the
young people who engage in it. but
so far as any real results are con
cerned they might as well strike
for better weather.
"The task of securing peace is
the task of providing for justice
among the nations. It requires
international understanding and
cooperation and recognition on the
part of one nation of the rights of
others.
"Aim at peace alone and you
will never achieve it; aim at the
rule of law and justice between all
nations, direct your efforts to that
end, plan your institutions for that
purpose, pay the necessary price of
submission to law and to reason,
and on top of many other blessings
you will have peace."
Create Positive Attitudes.
Furthering the discussion of edu
cation for peace. Dr. John U
Tildsley, Assistant Superintendent
of New York City schools, ex
plained that certain predispositions
must be overcome and positive
attitudes created in their place.
"I am not for peace at any price
as between nations or as between
society and the humans who are
hostile to it. I believe there have
been times anil that there will be
tnmes again when the existence of
a nation can be maintained only by
armed resistance, but I also believe
that such times must become ever
rarer if the race is to survive.
"I would not make a pacifist, in
the extreme sense, of the youth in
the school. 1 would not have him
subscribe to the Oxford oath or
even have him believe with some
of my Quaker friends, whom 1 so
greatly respect, that there can bn
no possible circumstances which
will justify armed resistance," said
Dr. Tildsley.
