WASTERS
Whenever the top-heaviness of the
enrollment in state universities is
discussed, reference is made to the
students who do not come to college
for a serious purpose. It is pointed
out that there is a large number of
students in the coeducational state
institutions. Some of them come to
participate in intercollegiate athlet
ics or in student activities, some to
acquire a fraternity and sorority pin
and to enjoy the social life which the
school offers.
President Little of the University
of Maine has recently taken a pub
lic stand on the matter of eliminat
ing what he describes as "time wast
ers, money wasters, character wasters
and energy wasters." He declares:
If a man persists in showing
one or more of these weaknesses
he must withdraw from the Uni
versity and focus his attention
on those lower ignorances and
not on a hypocritical semi-attention
to higher education at pub
lic expense.
Most administrative officials of
state universities will agree with
President Little in his determination
to eliminate these students from the
college. The problem is how to ac
complish this elimination. Any pro
posed method must attempt two
things. Those students who obvious
ly are not in earnest should be barred
from ever entering the college. Those cerning the status of the college
who at first appear to be tamest but 'newspaper, all in vain, too, because
EDITORIALS, ETC.
In the questioning of all things
there is a time for questioning even
the status of the college newspaper
and its editorials. We. have heard of
a college where the students are suf
fering under the delusion that they
are free to express themselves, and
yet every campus publication must
submit each criticism to the head of
the department criticised before that
criticism can be published. Surely,
that is liberality!
The New Student has concocted
one of the best satires on Babbitt
college journalism that has ever ap
peared. It is so finely subtle that
it may require a re-reading before
one is sure that it is satire. If it
is not intended to be satire, then it is
an excellent satire on itseii. e
publish it this morning in our "With
Other Editors" column.
What could be more inane than
an editorial column which is totally
devoted to boosting the college,
which carried nothing but editorials
which are:
inspirational, exhorting appli
cation to study, denouncing im
moral students, people who do
not cheer at basketball games,
radicals and Freshmen Who
Walk on The Grass!
One Dartmouth professor has ex
pressed his doubt that the College
policy of freedom of the press has
resulted in anything worth while for
the College. But he cleared up his
own doubt with the statement that
the maintenance of the principle of
unrestricted expression was in itself
valuable. There, we believe, he
struck the vital truth.
The satire of the New Student
may seem unnecessary to those who
believe that all liberal arts 'Colleges
are liberal. Unfortunately that is not
the case. Many colleges of high
standing prohibit all criticism of ad
ministration, departments, and state
and national politics. That alone
merits such satire and more of it.

BOOSTERITIS
Much has been said in the columns
to the left of 'The Windmill" con
partment enough publicity on a pre
vious occaaion.
At ths root of the whole difficulty
Ilea a false assumption aa to the fun
tion of a college paper. Looking for
an analogy in the outside world,
some students have drawn a parallel
between the college paper and inde
pendent newspapers or journals of
opinion. This ia nonsense. If the

whose later work in college indicates
that they have no real interest in ed
ucation should be prevented from
continuing their trifling.
A stiffening of entrance require-
administrators still persist in disci
plining college editors who will in
sist upon getting into hot water.
Take a handful of the most recent
examples; editor of the University of
menU might accomplsh the first of Dnbque "Blue and White" resigns

many oltne wasters would be eiim.n-for an editorial dealing with a recent
ated. Those who survived this work
would have enough mental stamina
and earnestness of purpose to suc
ceed in their college work. Such a
plan would send to the University
students who had already evidenced
an aptitude and an eagerness for aca
demic work.
A like stiffening of standards with
in the college would probably meet
the second difficulty. If there were
a greater stern ess in demanding that
students meet their scholastic obliga
tions, if it were impossible for them
to pass their courses by doing work
which is mechanical rather than in
tellectual, the result would be whole
some. Rules, such as the one recent
ly passed at Nebraska, which drop
from the enrollment students who
fail in a fraction of their work, are
steps in the right direction.
The machinery of most state uni
versities is clogged with waste now
largely because those institutions
have been too lenient too lenient in
admitting students who have neither
the preparation nor the desire for col
lege work, and too lenient in permit
ting them to stay after they have
been admitted.
BIENNIAL APPROPRIATIONS
The State Senate, in its insistence
that appropriations for the Univer
sity be made on the biennium basis, is
rging adoption of a plan which
has one disadvantage which should be
obvious, even to the lawmakers.
When funds are appropriated in
this way, it means, of course, that
the University does not have a fixed
amount for a fixed number of years,
as it would have under the ten-year
. mill-levy plan. An appropriation giv
en for the two years must be used in
that time or it lapses. The legisla
ture cannot be expected to give the
University enough money in two
years to satisfy its needs for a long
period of timer- Trt'a combinaton of
circumstances will leave the Board of
Regents empty-handed at the end of
every two years.
The result will be that tha Univer
sity wHl bo compelled to go to the
legislature every session to beg for a
special building appropriation. This
method is one which leads to a pro
longed parliamentary battle which
forces the University to lobby for its
happening in the state legislature;
professor at Oberlin refuses to give
"copy" to a "Review" reporter be
cause the editor did not give his de

Classic Duofold Pens
clnd All Points Quarcnteed for 25-Years Wear
FOR what kind of writing: do rou naa a pan ? How do you bold It?
And what style of writing is entirely natural to your hand?
Close figure work or fine memoranda, for example, call for a fine
or an extra-fine point. But the medium pcint, the broad, or the stub
theee give one's penmanship a peraonality and character that
, make mighty valuable impressions in a letter or a aignatnre.
These are reasons why, in the claaaie Duofold Pens, Geo. S.
Parker gives the world the whole five degrees of points that the
five degrees of writing require.
Points yoo can lend without s tremor, for no style of writing can
distort them. Points that are tipped with saper-emooth Iridium, for
which we pay a premium of 200. Points that we guarantee, if
not mistreated, for 25 years' WEAR.
And every point set in a shapely, hand-balanced barrel that feela
ao inspiring yon haw to lay it down.
Any good pea counter will sell yoa this beauty on 30 days' ap
proval. Fiaahing black or black-tipped lacquer-red, the color that's
handaotner than gold and makes this a hard pan to tnialay.
