N.Y. chicaoo - Boston . am Francisco LoaANsiLia Portland atATTur Elmer Is Nol Going to the Ball Klmrr Blain was into the office yesterday afternoon. Elmer is the boy. not too eitifietl, who wrote the student pulse just before Thanksgiving advocating a number of chances around here, such as cheers between speeches at student forums and wand drills for the band. Well. Klmer wanted to know why we hadn't printed his other letters. We told him that they had been in the overset for days, and that they would run in this morning's paper. Elmer got sort of chummy in his blunt, slightly burlesque way, his grey eyes twinkling slyly all the time. , "Well, are you eoing to the big ball to morrow night, Elmer?" we asked him off hand like as he was about ready to leave. "Xaw, guess not." "Why not?" "Aw heck, it's kinda silly isn't it." "Now Elmer, you don't want to start out in college by beine a wet blanket do you? Everybody goes. There's a lot of finery, some fair music, a lot of classy pageantry, et cetera." "Say!" he replied with a little more gusto but in his same slow manner, not quite a drawl, "that's just why I'm not going. I'm not flat broke and I don't have too much money. But that's not what I mean. Understand. Every body around here thinks you just have to go to this thing. Or maybe it's just that every body does go. Well, I fieure that's a pretty good reason for not goine. I read a play one time. I used to read a bit back on the farm. Most of use here or a lot of us are from the farm, but you kin hardly tell it. Well, this play was called "The Enemy of the Feople." Galsworthy, I think, or maybe Ibson, wrote it. The guy in this play, who wasn't really an enemy of the people, kept saying. 'The ma jority is always wrone.' I've though about that quite a bit. And I think he was right." "But do you have any reason for think ing that the majority is wrong about the ball. A generality doesn't always bold, you know." "Sure. I got plenty of reason for thinking so. First I don't think these kids really want to go to the ball. I don't want to seem mean, hut I think they all go to the ball for the same reason that a bunch of cows will keep going back to a pond after the water goes staenant or even after they find the pond is dried up. A few mile walk, maybe in awful hot weather, a trail thru loose fnoe or a ravine thatched with buffalo berry bushes, and all kinds of trouble on the way phis no water when they get there won't stop the cows. The kids are that way. Like cows, not you, Mr. Editor, of course, or are you going?" "How do you mean, Elmer?" "Aw heck, look at the money and fuss. The girls have to spruce up in dresses that must cost from $13 to a hundred, I bet. And they can never wear them back on the farm or in the small towns without being kinda uppish. Then one of my friends said just the other dav as we were chinning about it that the works those guys, who the military de- j pertinent makes go and buy sabers and do a j lot of work, well, the work they do on their j boots would about sweep all the leaves off the campus. The guys in my fraternity tried to rent cars two days ago and they were all gone. So I know that a lot of money goes there. And all you guys have to buy corsages That must cost three bucks or such a matter. And you're kind of a piker if vou don't spend another four bits on your button hole. And on top of that, you said yourself that the two buck ad mission price was one dollar too much, even if the music was first rate, which I guess it isn't, and if you could dance after you got there, which the brothers tell me hasn't hap pened in years, and if you could see the spiffy eirl who is honorary colonel, which Sarah Louise says you can't. So. by gosh, I say the kids are kinda like the cows." "Now Elmer, college students aren't like cows. They think about what they do. and how they spend their money, and so on. There must be some reason why they go to the ball." "Maybe some of them think as much as cows, but I cot a hunch most of those sorority gals are just heifers yet. And some of my frat brothers don't think as much as a fat rangy steer. Did anybody ever tell you that a pea cock's brain was in his tail. Well, the boys and gils have their brains in their boots or khaki pants or stiff scratchy collars or in their fancy scanty dresses, which are really pretty nice F guess" That thinking about their pretty riggin' and about all their friends being ihere .'ill fancied up keeps them going to the ball year after year." "But how did this ego bolstering affair g'-t started. Elmer? r7'i'i7 the Collegians Be Politicians or Statesmen There is a recurrent condemnation of American government because we are satis fied in this country to get along with poli ticians while other countries, notably England, trains statesmen for her purposes. There is a further direct tie-up between the lack of train ing of government officials and the fact that many of our universities, where these men and women should be trained, are state supported. Of late, however, both the bovernment and the universities have increased their ef forts to attract prepared college graduates to the field of public administration and re sponsibility. The government is at last open ing up the avenues of government employ ment to college men. College students, who in the past have gone almost to the man into business, are being recruited for service in the various departments of the federal government. The increasing scope and intricacy of gov ernment operations has led to a concrete need fi men of university training. The Civil Service Commission is being called upon to enlist the services of college and university graduates who have the capacity and charac ter to rise in due time to positions of admmini strative responsibility. Already the Civil Service commission has drawn up examina tions open only to men with A. B. or higher degrees. Prospects of advancement is especi ally true in the diplomatic and consular serv ice. Twenty-eight young college men and nine college women fresh from the champus re cently entered the government service as in ternes to learn about government from actual work in the departments. Sent to Washington by the Institute of Public Affairs, the studens are working purely for experience and are to receive no compensation for their labors. Their expenses are defrayed by the Institute, by fel lowships from their universities, and by the internes themselves. Students at Nebraska interested in this type of experience may get further informa tion from the Institute of Public Affairs. Wisconsin is among the universities which have worked rather extensive programs in co-operation with the Institute. The object of the Institute's work is to teach practical facts of government. If the stu dents prove adequately alert, they may be per suaded to accept a permanent government position. Last year 16 out of 30 remained to work regularly for Unkle Sam. Harvard university has inaugurated some thing definitely new in the field of higher education with the opening of the Littauer School of Fublic Administration. Through this new school Harvard will endeavor to render a real and increasing service to the cause of better governmental administration. The school will endeavor to provide train ing in public administration chiefly for gradu ates of law schools and technical schools and for others who have done advanced work in some special field and who desire to acquire a broad knowledge of the pracical problems of government as a means of entering the public service and advancing to positions of import ance m it. The school will carefully avoid becoming a place of vocational training in the narrow sense. It will seek to provide a thorough grounding in the fundamental principles and problems of public administration without ref crerence to the branch of the public service which its graduates may enter. Although it is expected that career men on leave may orient their work moore definitely than recent graduates. Ticket scalping at the Harvard- Yale football game was picketed by student "sandwich men" whose signs read "Scalp the Scalpers." "Scalpers Unfair to Harvard Men."
