CAMPUS DRIVES
In the last two years two attempts
have been made to solve the problem
created by campus drives and cam
paigns. The earliest of these efforts
was made by the Student Council,
which attempted to" eliminate the
evils of the drives by limiting their
number. Last foil the Pan-Hellenic
Council, evidently realizing that the
Council had not been completely suc
cessful, made the second attempt
when it passed a resolution frowning
on the use of the women's social or
ganizations in these campaigns.
What the actual effect of these ef
forts will be remains to be seen, but
a preliminary examination of them
would indicate that the solution they
offer is, at the best, only partial.
What are the evils of the drives?
The most obvious one, of course, is
the annoyance that the campaign
brings to the student. If he does
not, for some good reason, wish to
buy the article being sold, he must
protect himself either by an hon
est, but almost insolent, firmness, or
resort to dissimilation, subterfuge,
and outright perjury. He develops,
in tks wesk that the drive goes en, a
hunted aspect. He has the nervous,
high-strung condition of a jack rab
bit in a well-hunted country, and he
skulks and scurries from class to
class with the fugitive expression of
a coyote.
The evil in these drives has, more
over, a peculiar two-edged quality
which makes it injure not only the
hunted but also the hunter. A wom
an belonging to a Greek-letter soci
ety finds that she is expected to take
part in these drives. The fact that
such activity takes necessary time
from her studies and that she has
a strong personal distaste, for the
work, is not taken into considera
tion. It is obvious that regulation of the
number of the drives offers only a
partial solution of these evils. It
does, to some degree, eliminate the
waste of time by the women, but it
does little to relieve the student of
the annoyance of the drive. Four
campaigns are almost as trying to
him a are sixteen. In fact, after
four of them, the student develops a
caUoasaess to appeal, a firmness of
mind, and fertility of imagination
which enables him to weather anoth
er twelve with comparative can. The
first four drives are, for him, the
hardest.
Nor is much more to be expected
from the ruling of the Pan-Hellenic
coBciL It is, as yet, uncertain how
strictly this resolution will be fol
lowed. It k significant that already,
ia the cace of the 1925 Cornhusker,
aa exception has bees made. But
erea were it rigidly conformed to,
ft weM still set be a final solution
The resolution dees set frown on the
wee of wesaen in the drive; it does
leek wkh disfarer on competitions
betweea the severities. It wiil siCl

k"THE THING THAT COUNTS
Many years ago, a sagacious indi
vidual glanced up from a worn vol
ume that ho was raptly studying,
pointed a long forefinger, and gave
a highly commendable bit of advice
"Strive always to do the thing
that counts, and then don't count
it" This acre-old fragment of wis
dom is still transmitted today, but
rarely is it carried out
We, as college students, apprcci'
ate perhaps tho fact that this solemn
and acicnt counsel is not usually fol
lowed. Experienco has taught us,
amonc other things, that advico sol
dom is appreciated, but it has achiev
ed. a signal failure if it has not im
bued us with tho thought that advico
is at least worthy of contemplation
"Strive always to do the thing
that counts." If this were heeded
it would mean accomplishment of
half of tho wise man's counsel. Seek
ing to attain this goal, we develop
and strengthen our innate qualities
of discretion, wisdom and thought-
fulness.
When wo first enter college we
find confronting us a complicated
mass of studies, activities, and du
ties of all kinds, which we must sepa
rate and classify as to intrinsic
worth. Therein lies a struggle, but
we are young, confident, eager and
so the plunge is taken immediately.
Our interpretations a-ad ultimate de
cisions of this phar- of our college
course may often be errors in judg
ment, but just as often they prove
successful.
But with this issue wisely settled,
there remains tho more difficult one
"don't count the thing." He is in
deed a rare individual who has ac
complished something "worthy of
praise and then failing to receive it
naturally, does not attempt to at
tract commendation to his act.
Because this counsel is infinitely
priceless and difficult in its fulfill
ment, we believe that it is worthy of
thought. It may be considered as
the embodiment of the best one s
creed or philosophy of life, and for
this reason it accenturates some of
the most desirable of human quali
ties. Syracuse Daily Orange.

THAT HOUSE BUILDING COM
PLEX
With each succeeding year the
great Indiana University house-bulid-ing
sweepstakes increases speed.
When it all will end, where it will
end and how it will end, no one knows
and at present no one seems to care.
The race has become too glorious.
too magnitudinous, too glittering to
be overcast by consideration of cold
fact
Until recently fraternities and sor
orities at Indiana retained their san
ity in this respect more sucessfully
than most universities--of equal size
and similar personnel. The com
plex apparently has seized us at last
however, and what foolishness it
may bring forth can be determined
only by awaiting results.
The desire of fraternities to reside
in luxurious and impressive man
sions is just as natural as is the de
sire of the individual. The former
is the result of the latter, since fra
ternities are only groups nf individ
uals. By pooling the resources of
the individuals it is possible to sati
ate the desire.
But driving at r;ckless economic
speed has dangers just as does driv
ing at a reckless pace in an auto
mobile. Even the pooled resources
of -fraternities and sororities are
strained by this mad rush for fine
and still finer homes. As long as the
desire merely is for more comforta
ble living quarters there is little that
is portentous, but when it develops
into strategic competition it becomes
a frenzied pursuit which can not ac
complish anything for the students
or the University.
The real environment that should
be beilt at Indiana University is that

Students lose sight of these facta
because of ope influence competi

tho sense of proportions decreases.
It rankles to observe a rival organi
zation take a step ahead. Two steps
ahead are taken to catch up and pass
the rival. Slip-ups usually are caus
ed by too long strides..
Let us not take our fraternities
too seriously. Thus far Indiana has
been fairly sensiblo in this respect
Unless it maintains this attitudo tho

-and even electrical engineers
are needed in the
electrical industry
Nowadays the electrical industry needs so
many types of men that it may be well to
point out it still needs engineers, good engi
neers but with a difference.
Vision, initiative, technical skill are needed
qualities, now as always. But here's another.
Can yon work on the team? Will you be
able to back-up the other members in the
m&nufjacfeMring and commercial ends of the
business?
The engineer today should be no recluac
in a laboratory. He can make his work more
effective once be sees bow it relates to tbc
work of men around him.
In your studies and college activities, yc
have the chance now to develop this poiat
of view. In the broader activities of tk
I . . ! ' t A.1 At.M.M
ejectnea industry, you may awre hn ci
later on to carry it further.
