' BOILER PLATE AMERICANS. 1
Have you ever thought seriously on. the subject o indivlduajlBni
and personal freedom? . It seems today that weare. becoming -;jace
of machine type individuala. We must do and ..have everything done
with all the time and energy-saving devices, with the least possible
mental effort and according to a set plan; business, social, customs, .
fairily life and education has been standardized to...8uch: a degree
tl-nt re Vave almost forgoMen how to be original. . It. Is true, that a
higher degree of efficiency is generally obtained In this way, but the
human element is lacking man is merely a means to an end,. Our
factories have so. adjusted their departments that a. worker,. makes
perhaps nothing but a tiny bolt all day , long, or does nothing but
sew a twelve inch seam in a thousand garments. , Think of.the effect
of this terrible routine on his brain and the. hum-drum life he must
live, merely existence. In respect to this question, we . offer a few
lines from "Life" which exactly sums up our opinion.
"The two national manias in America are standardization and
incorporation.
"Our morals, habits, private lives and reading matter are being
standardized according to a formula that was used around Salem
some years ago.
'The,. war on personal liberty and private opinion was long apo
incorporated in a. ritual which dates from the Spanish Inquisition.
Today the penal clauses have merely been changed.
"The American people will soon be one individual, and will be
chopped up by their standardizers and incorporators at boilerplate
rates and shipped f. o. b. to any part of the planet as a warning or
an exhibit." .
CAMPUS TEAS.
The campus teas given now every Friday afternoon at Woman's
Hall are indeed very commendable affairs. They are giving all uni
versity the opportunity to meet in a perfectly informal way at the
girls' campus home, and we are glad to see that so many Nebraska
co-eds have taken advantage of these entertainments. There are so
many things to be done this semester and so little time that many
girls feel that they have little social Intercourse with each other.
With this new plan, freshmen and seniors mix with faculty members
jind are able to broaden their friendships to a very marked degree.
Campus friendship and campus democracy go hand in hand and are
equally valuable to the senior, junior and freshman. Make it a point
to attend the teas regularly and keep In touch with cc-ed activities.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CHEMISTRY?
Are many students informed of the very practical and interesting
lectures to be given in the Chemistry building every Friday at 5:00
o'clock? They are planned to give a usuable and comprehensible
solution of problems of today. Any man or woman interested in his
community life and desirous of returning to it equipped to keep out
in local crises of all sorts Bhou'd watch these lectures. As an ex
ample of the vital subjects discussed, it is well to note that the first
of the series was on "Iron Rust How to Detect It and Get Rid of it."
The rest of the courses will be somewhat of this nature and well
worth the attention of wide-awake students. Go and find out bow
little you really know of such common, necessary information.
WHAT IS YOUR FACE VALUE?
If you were judged solely by your facial expression, what would
the verdict be? What is your face value?
Sounds like the beginning of a foolish-questlon-silly-answer game.
But it isn't. Those are queries that well merit the asking, and what
is more, mighty careful answering, too. For It is the mistaken idea
that some folks have relative to the importance of their facial char
acteristics, that cause many a failure in life.
What is the first thing you look upon when you meet another?
Isn't H his face? And whether you know it or not, that first glimpse,
determined largely what your primary impression of the stranger was
to be.
His eyes were half closed, mere slits under his forehead. And
you immediately became cautious. His expression was surly, his
eyebrows were drawn. You forthwith decided he was a grouch and
If possible you would leave him alone. Maybe, his mouth puckered
as if pouting at the rest of the wcrld, and he was glum and seemed
disappointed. Did you decide he was a successful business man; the
sort of a man you cared to Join forces with? Not at all
Or, perhaps, the stranger you met had a smile oa his face, the
lines of his mouth were drawn firm but the corners turned up; his
eyes twinkled and were open wide. That is the man you wanted to
meet
There are college students who make one feel sick o meet them
on the campus. There are some who look as if the fear of eternal
damnation continually haunted them and knowing their fate, they
cared not a whit to live longer.
And there are others whom you consider yourself fortunate to see.
Which sort are you? DePauw Daily.

a great saving to only have to buy two
meals a day. I could soon buy a piano

We had better luck at the drug store.

The very fact that they are hand turned and have
the extra long tongue and large enamel buckle

WE PAY YOUR COLLEGE EXPENSES
We need a real live college man who is interested in working
his way through college to take full charge of a sales cam
paign in this territory for a staple household article. It is
possible with our proposition for such a man to easily make
his funds working a couple of hours a day and on Saturday.
This is no fake and will stand the strictest investigation.

After a short business meeting sev

Interesting talk which was full of
good suggestions for the girls. Miss
Sundae has been In school five years
tow and speaks as an authority. The
subject of her talk was '"Many Clev

Money." This speech was received
with great favor by the union and I
saw several girls taking notes on the
subject Miss Pimento Cheese then
gave a short talk on "Why I Always
Eat." This speech waa also approved
of by the girls, as was evinced by the
whispering which followed it
The meeting adjourned after this
speech. After meeting several new
members of the union my girl decided
