" NO RIGHT TO MEDDLE"
An interview with President Coolidge on the Nic
araguan policy was refused four university students,
representing a larger committee of thirty from twenty
one schools of the country by the president's confiden
tial secretary.
The secretary gave a lecture on what students
shouldn't think about. "Undergraduates have no right
to think, to meddle in foreign agairs. Furthermore, to
intimate that something might, be wrong with the presi
dent's policy is no less than an insult" Such were the
opinions of the man.
When one of the students produced a letter of
protest against the president's Nicaraguan policy,
signed by students at ML Holyoke, there was another
outburst Students at a girls' college telling the presi
dent of the United States how to conduct the foreign
policy seemed folly indeed.
Is this the proper attitude for a man in such a
position, or for any public official, to take?
The common complaint is not that students are
meddling with the affairs of the government, but rather
that they do not pay enough attention to such things.
Many people contend that college tends to elevate
the student and place him on a superficial plane, and
when he graduates and enters the world he is incom
petent and lost in the whirl of reality.
Universities endeavor to teach students how to
think. Courses are given which enable the students to
become acquainted with the workings of the govern
ment College men and worron do pay attention to
politics. The fact that student opinion is desired is
shown by the fact that a few weeks ago a presidential
straw vote was conducted in the larger educational
institutions of the country by political parties, in order
to obtain the students' opinions of candidates. Regard
less of the lecture delivered by the president's Secre
tary, the average student is thinking about national and
international problems and his questions regarding such
should be given due consideration.

PHARMACY NIGHT
Pharmacy Night, annual display by students in
the College of Pharmacy, will be held next Thursday.
The exhibit will be open to the public and will include
demonstrations o methods and accomplishments of the
college. The idea of Pharmacy Night was originated at
Nebraska in 1921 and has since been endorsed by the
American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.
The exhibit accomplished two purposes. It creates
greater respect on the part of the public for the pharm
acist and his profession and it stimulates higher morale
and professional self-respect on the part of the stu
dents. Large crowds attend the display each year, and
Pharmacy hall is literally overflowing with visitors
eager to learn something of the profession which has
for so long been shrouded in mystery. During the last
six years, Pharmacy Night has been the outstanding
feature of Pharmacy Week. Students are given an op
portunity to demonstrate their work and training, and
thereby, create favorable publicity for the college and
the University. It gives them a greater incentive in
their work and is an aid in developing professional
ethics and morale.
Students in the College of Pharmacy are to be
commended for their initiative in originating Pharmacy
Night and for their success in maintaining it That it
is a success is evidenced by the- increasingly large
crowds that attend it, and their favorable comments
on the display.
MORE ROPE
A new policy of dealing with the idiosyncrasies of
the reckless younger generation and with turbulent,
although not criminal, individuals in general is grad
ually coming into use. Commands and wild importuna
tions are ineffective, if not a downright waste of time,
for reclaiming the wayward. There is a far more ef
ficacious weapon for the same purpose,' for modern
youth has one vulnerable spot, a heel of Achilles, and
it is this spot that is at last being assailed.
The whole magical secret lies in the four simple
words "Give them more rope." Nothing could be more
dangerous for a wildly competitive spirit than "More
rope." Give the campus radical rope and he will tangle
himself and finally choke himself. Give the sensational
ists in any line poets with outlandish messages, au
thorswith crazy illogical tales, women with unhappy
cravings for notoriety give them all more rope and
you have condemned them. For them, opposition and
persecution are fuel. Allow them to fulminate unhin
dered and unnoticed, and they will soon exhaust them
selves. It is only a matter of rope.
Opposition breeds development, whether for good
or bad. The histories of great men have one fact in
common they show that these men have triumphed
over tremendous obstacles. For centuries the Hebrews
have been the victims of every kind of oppression and
persecution. They have been beaten, suppressed, and
massacred, yet they have emerged with a racial char
acter. Today, the old rabbis are shaking their heads.
A brief prosperity is already weakening the organiza
tion it took years of struggle to produce.
Rope is always a terrible thing. The spoilt child
has too much rope, and his life is a torture. The pam
pered woman and the idle rich men, who are limited
only by their own incompetence from obtaining that
ideal for which they yearn, are suffering from too much
rope. They have too much freedom and they are lost.
There is nothing tangible for them to lay their hands
on and say "It is necessary that I conquer this."
Modern youth is struggling with restrictions. The
opposition and excitement which it arouses is the stim
ulus through which it survives. Give youth rope and it
will exhaust itself like the whirligigs in the dust.

Engineers' Night was first cele

KEEP OFF THE CRASS
A compliment often heard among students is that
pertaining to the appearance of the campus at the pres
ent time. Now that spring is here they naturally expect
to find green grass growing profusely everywhere and
suitable sidewalks provided so that the grass can be
protected. What they really want is a "well-dressed"
7 campus.
Such demands are only reasonable. No one likes to
see a plot of ground devoid of any iierbage or shrub
bery. Especially is this true with a university campus.
But as long as the University is carrying on its exten
sive improving plan no remedy of the present situation
can be made for some time to come. ,
When the time does come, however, that the cam
pus wi3 have green lawns and sufficient sidewalka will
be rrovided, it will be necessary for the students to
heed the old hackneyed warning, "Keep off the grass."
It is not tmcomnioa these days to see students cutting
across the caipo while on their way to class. If they

STUDENT CARS? YES SAYS MAX M'CONN
Dean Max McConn of Lehigh university, in an
article published in the March issue of Plain Talk, has
a great deal to say in opposition to the auto-ban on
student cars which is becoming so popular in the larger
universities of the country.
We leave the reader to judge for himself as to
the justice and wideness of application carried in Dean
McConn's arguments:
Only if a college considers itself a 'super prep
school,'" thinks the dean, "is it perfectly logical to I
ban the automobile. It is then the duty of the college
to accept all the children of the well-to-do, at the age
of 16-or thereabouts, regardless of their mentality or
their interest or lack of interest in the things of the
mind, and to house them, feed them, guard them, guide
them, and incidentally force upon them some attention
to booklearning for four years, just as the lower 'prep'
schools have done for the preceeding four years.
"The faculties and deans should not stop with
barring cars. There are also the movies, the radio, the
victrola, the local cabarets, cards, and an abundance
of cheap fiction, both thrilling and salacious, on every
newstand. If the 'prep school' conception of colleges
is to prevail, further steps should be taken at once.
Students should be strictly forbidden to visit either
the movies or cabarets where dancing may be indulged
in except at rare intervals and by special permission
of the dean. All radio equipment and musical machines
should be ordered out of dormitories and fraternity
houses, and playing cards should be frowned upon as
severely as it was by the early Puritans, though for
a different reason. And an index expurgatorious of
magazines should be published and enforced.
"Any college which is seriously seeking to main
tain the status of an institution of higher learning,"
the Lehigh dean continues, "may properly welcome
me automobile as a useful adjunct, an instrument for
speeding up its process of elimination. Motor cars will
frequently bring to the attention of the faculty cases
of 'students' who are not real students at all, and
who, for their sake and that of the college, should cease
as soon as possible to clutter up the campus. In such
a case it is not the automobile alone which should be
sent home, but the young man with it If a young man
has so little interest in learning that, given a free
choice between working at his books and driving around
in an automobile, he chooses the latter with any dan
gerous frequency, then the young roan has no business
at college anyway." The Daily IllinL

THE MANLY CO-ED
About the time a co-ed finds university life getting
too complicated, what with dates, sorority obligations
and the unreasonable insistence of the faculty that she
toe a scholarship mark, she is liable to get a curt sum
mons from the dean of women. And the dean, if she
be the right sort, thinks Miss Anne Dudley Blitz of the
University of Minnesota, won't waste much sentiment
and sympathy on her but will just tell her "to buck
up and take a manly attitude toward her job." Maybe
