RELIGION IN COLLEGE?
The University ol Iowa has inaugurated some
thing entirely new in its curriculum the formation
and opening of a School of Religion, as a fully quali
fied and recognised department of the College of Lib
eral Arts. Three eminent professors, representing re
spectively, the Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Jewish
faiths, constitute the Board of Control for the new
schooL Between ninety-five and one hundred students
registered for courses at the opening of the school in
the fall.
That in itself is an auspicious start, inasmuch as
the courses are entirely elective. It seems to indicate,
that granting the Iowa school as a fair representation
of college yotuh, college students do have a decided
interest in religion popular opinion to the contrary.
Besides cultivating individual interest in religion, the
new venture ought to provide a splendid chance for
serious minded students to blend and solve their indi
vidual questions and problems on one of the most
vital questions in the world today. The average college
student often finds himself hopelessly entangled with
doubts and perplexities regarding his faith; it is very
often the lot of the college student to fight it out for
himvlf. A School of Religion seems to offer a splendid
solution in helping students orient their spiritual lives,
at the critical period when such aid is needed the most.
Compulsory religious education in public, primary
and secondary schools has been soundly bombarded by
all of the various religious factions, resulting from at
tempts to place religion in the regular list of subjects,
as all groups cannot agree on the subject The Univer
sity of Iowa has taken the courage to found and offer
a' unique and commendable answer to the question of
popular religious education.
Students at the University of Iowa are going to
have their choice in the matter. It is up to them
whether the new school will justify its existence. The
experiment is worth watching, for its scope is the
widest in the world, that of cultivating tolerance, or
brotherhood of all creeds, of furthering the under
standing of religion as it is expressed in its different
forms. -
I Know You, All
(from last night's Star)
Alfred Calvert, 21, university senior, pleaded
o-iiMtv tn rhnrtres of driving in a reckless manner,
speeding and violating an arterial stop button when
he was arraigned in Municipal Court Monday morning.
He was arrested about midnight Sunday after he had
been chased through the business district and into the
residential part of the city by Night Driver Robbins.
Sentence was deferred until Saturday.
Announcement
From 2:30 till 3:00, Wednesday afternoon, Dr.
Hattie Plumb Williams will speak over the radio. Her
subject will be "Companionate Marriage" and in con
sequence thereof Cynarus and his horde of Kernels are
saving their thunder and erudition until after that
event We do not wish to detract your attention from
a subject of such interest to our little circle.

EMILY POST ON FLAGS
If you went to the Military Ball, the opening of
the University's formal season, and if you noticed the
decorations you too must have been appalled by a
small but significant mistake. In the Coliseum that
evening there was an atmosphere redolent of things
military only ' the fumes of burned powder were
missing there were many American flags, adding at
mosphere to the extremely well decorated dance halL
But these flags were draped a common error and
excusable for civilians but not for the Military de
partment The American flag needs no retouching to
make it beautiful. It is a discourtesy ever to drape the
flag. And, no doubt, the same error will not be made
at another University function, military or otherwise.
This deed was probably the plot of some British
spy. Mayor Thompson of Chicago was notified immed
iately.
Comment
An exasperated correspondent writes substantially
as follows: "I am damn sick of genius. Why don't you
give us some sober comment on serious subjects? We
still have Mark Twain, Rabelais, Voltaire, Aristotle
and Dr. Frank Crane for the other sort of thing." The
suggestion, though bluntly put, is taken in good part
The funny thing about it is that we have for some time
been planning to do the very thing suggested. Just been
saving it up, that's all. Not idling, just saving it up. A
nice batch,, of comment makes a much more impressive
showing than an irregular series of little comments.
Here goes:
Weather: It looks like either an open winter or
one not so open. It all depends on the weather. Life
is what we make it and inhaling snow won't get us
anywhere, no. matter how good it may make us feel
for the time being.
Religion: We note considerable controversy be
tween the modernists and fundamentalists. Why should
we take sides? Every man's religious faith is his own.
and none can prove' it to the other fellow. Discussion
produces much heat but little light
The Next War: Somebody will get hurt just as
sure as we have it
Politics: We stand where we have nearly always
stood on politics outside looking in. But there is a
better day coming. It may not be in this world but
the democrats will surely have a safe majority in the
next
Companionate Marriage: (Lunch time).
Natural Gas for Omaha: It is always best for a
person to be perfectly natural at all times. The truth
is invariably mightier than any kind of gas except in
a political campaign. There are exceptions to any rule.
Santa Claus: We still believe in him.
Farm Relief: What's the use commenting? The
farmers won't let our side save 'em.
Radio: We favor a policy of non-interference.
Prohibition: A dry subject at best

"E!ue Monday" is a psychological fact '
The matter has been thoroughly investigated, but
the problem is seriously complicated by the important
contributing factors of type of work, season of the
year, personal interest in the work, etc. Investigators
are unanimous in finding Monday a least effective day
in work. This is found to be true both when out put
is measured and in more simple tests used in the psy-
cnoiogicai laboratories, which plotted a piece-work
curve, showing that there was a difference of 20 per
cent between the production on Monday and on the
peak day, Thursday.
In the opinion cf Professor E. D. MacPhee, of
the Toronto university department of psychology, "The
modern tendency to use Sunday as a day of recreation,
as well as the general imposition by modem industry
of a routine system upon individuals who were not so
constructed as to comply with it demands, is responsible
for the existence of 'Blue Monday'."
