OUR STUPID STUNT NIGHT
University Night failed to realize its possibilities. The students had
an opportunity (almost their only one, by the way) to express an opin
ion of the general policies of the University to show the administration,
by means of satirical skits and sketches, their judgment of the atmosphere
and traditions of the school. They might have approacned the level of
Greek comedy, at least In kind; they were content to descend to mere
personalities and personalities which were, for the most part, In rather
poor taste.
Our objection to personalities is that they are stupid. It takes no in
telligence to call a person opprobrius names; it requires none to say, for ex
ample, that he spends all his time petting. But that is what the students
did on University Night. The intelligent thing for the University Night
committee to have done was the selection of skits which were satirical rath
er than personal.
a
One act that of the Dramatic Club was of this kind. It was a com-
ment on the flabby policy of the Student Council, and any personalities
which entered into it were more or less incidental. There were two other
acts which were not mere personal invectives: the parody of aesthetic
dancing, and the selections by the orchestra. The difficulty with the
first is that, good though it was, of its kind (and it was sublimely ridicu
lous; gloriously good parody) it was not the right sort of thing for Uni
versity Night. As a parody of aesthetic dancing in general, it was good;
it did not, however, have a particular application to University life. The
orchestra act is open to the same sort of criticism. As a particular kind of
music a kind which does not appeal to us inlhe least it was good enough,
but it was not the stuff which University Night needed.
University Night should be a series of satirical comments on the social,
educational, and intellectual life of the campus in general; as it was, it was
simply a kind of organized scandal-mongering. Satire is the achievement
of civilization and sophistication; personal "cracks" are a relic of a Ladies'
Aid society. Satire is an expression of intelligent criticism ; opprobrius ref
erences to particular persons are the product of a resentful or a lubricius
mind. The University Night committee, in its selection of the skits, failed
to be either sophisticated or intelligent.
THE SITUATION IMPOSSIBLE
"I'll love you when you're far away (she said) :
Of you my. fairest dreams will ever be.
I'll think of you at work and play (she said) ;
I'll love you while you're gone, across the sea."
"Come, kiss me now, and I must go (he said);
Come, tell me that your love will never chill,
And I will cheer myself; I know (he said)
That you, dear heart, will truly love me still."
I
At last he went; her mournful, parting tears
Were masterfully, wonderfully hid.
She said she'd love him, yes, for years and years
And, miracles of miracles, she did!

JACKASSES
At the next table there was a hot discussion of the merits of Aristot-

both Irish and curious.
"The logic of AristoUe is largely outworn," said the young man, in a

pragmatUts, not to say by the universal pract.ee of law. and the sciences.
.tv. i A i. i.,,lv obsolete, and the course as given at the Uni-
versity is neither trustworthy nor defensible.)
To this the P. B K. responded: "My dear young sira. me cerw.o.,
of your convictions is equalled only by their invalidity." - There was ran
cor in his voice. This was clearly argumenium aa " "
for a reply.
"Well." said the young man, "that's a neat ttenent. but what does
prove? strikes me you are animated by what Ntzsche would call a re
sentment morality." '

opinion of that attitude. Hence, in my academic way, i v. ,uu -
jackass."
Ali of this reminded me of the old day. on the farm, ,d it ' Particu
lar of a bit- (jack) mule of my father's. One day I led him to the water
Sugh. wherehe refused to drink. It was warm and being convinced of
the rWhtness of his drinking, I tried coercion. I ota tan with my
clewed fist; he was obdurate. I:
not drink. At last I desisted, a saaaer . -
in possession of the field.
I picked up my hat. although the battle at the adjoining table was
still raging. "Can it be possible," I reflected, "that a man can be a P. B. K.
and still be related to the ass?" RADICUS.
FROM THE NOTEBOOK OF ADONIS:
Only a fool can fall in love; only a wise man can make love.
