tern of All I'nlversity partiea. Why force this dance
pUn upon an unreceptive and unfavorable .tudent
body?
Bringing all student, together In one happy,
rongenlal group Is something to be desired. Hut
forced parties will never accomplish this. If Greeks
and non-Greeks prefer to Indulge In their social
activities separately, they should be allowed that
privilege.
H is probable that the new idea would not only
defeat its purpose, but that It might lso cause
antagonism between the two groups. When fra
ternities, sororities and barb, desire social unity
then It will be high time to provide It. The Student
council represents the student body. If that body is
opposed to the plan, then tbe council should be de
liberate and careful in its actions.

COLLEGE TASTES.
A CTINU on the suggestion of Dean T. J. Tliomp
aon. the horn economic, department ha. re
cently compiled a suggeated menu for fraternities.
rorities. and boarding bou. The purpose of
these suggestions, according to the department, is to
provide students with well-balanced meals. In
many of the oiganuatlona the stewards plan tbe
meals themselves, without having had any experi
ence for that type of work. Aa a result the students
get poorly balanced rations, and not the kind of
food they should have to keep them in good health.
These suggestions are obviously a great service
to the organizations. But there is another point to
be considered. There are many non-fraternity stu
dents w ho eat at restaurants. They order whatever
happens to stnke their fancy, and they eat at very
Irregular Intervals. It is this claan that needs the
advice of a good dietician even more than Ihe oth
ers. They should consider carefully the suggestions
made by the home economics department, and try
and plan their meala accordingly. They are free to
eat what they choose, but they should eat with an
eye to the future, and remember the ultimate effect
on their health of eating "Junk" at any or all hours
of the day or night.
Katlng between meals, another practice of the 20-year-old
that be will regret at 40. is a bablt preva
lent all over the cmapus. It affect those who live
in sororities and fraternitiea aa well as those who
get their meals downtown. Students seem to eat
whenever they run out of anything else to do. They
eat at every spare moment And when they eat be
tween meals, they eat with no thought of the effect
on their health of the food they consume. College
men and women live under a somewhat greater
nervous tension and strain than the outside world.
They live on lesa sleep. Clearly, it is important that
the watch their diet carefully.

A shopworn subject in collegiate editorial cir
cles, but one which is always productive of a modi

to foim new acquaintance, at th. university. The
new dance plan would provide a belter lime for
all. Instead of a boy and hia coed date spending
the entire evening with each other, a little variety
would be introduced through cuttlnr In. and would
add a good deal of .pica to tha evening. Coeds
would appreciate thi. Just aa greatly a their male

A better and more unified school .pirlt would
result from such dances, because of the wider ac
quaintanceship which would be formed amorK Mu
dents. Another feature of the idea I. that it would
lesien the cost of an evening, entert.lnment. A
man who would not care to get a date, hire a car.
and provide the necessary food afterward, could
satisfy his desire for a littla entertainment by
simply cutting in three or four times.
Students who are engaged will object to this
plan. Trovlslon could be made, howeve.r to elim
inate such persons from the working of this plan.
The idea a a whole ha worked well in other
schools and certainly would not be continued in
them if it was not fairly successful. Why can t It
be started at Nebraska C. W. M.
BALANCED COLLEGE RATIONS.
FRATERNITIES and sororities are prone to prod
their freshmen into campua actlvitiea. Many of
the neophytes rebel, would rather spend the time
in "bull"1 sessions, prefer to "cake" Instead. On
the other hand some uppercla-smen and graduates
feel that too much emphasis Is placed on extra
curricular work, that the student miss the purpose
of the university, i. e., an education by the strictly
academic route.
A rational middle stand on the matter of college
activities is taken by William B. Storey, president
of the tchinson. Topeka and Santa Fa railway sys
tem, who points out that when the average executive
considera applications for positions from university
graduates, bolt) aclivily and tJiolaallc rat old a f

STUDENT "RADICALISM."
Evrry nw and then aom uninspired editorial
or magitzine wnier draw, from his categories the
subject "Mudrnt radicalism." and proceed, to ex
pend a volume of literary wrath on the too-liberal
attitude and Ihoughla of the college student.
It is only too evident that such w ntera have j
not attended university clasaea for at leasi a uecau
nor lived in university environment during the last
few years. To th"e who have attended claaaes and
lived among hinlents even the Idea of liberalism
among Hie student la laughable; the Idea of radical
ism is utter hysteria.
Sheiwood Eddy, wlm lias worked among .tu
dent of three continents, declares th.t with but a
few minor exceptions. American students are the
most diH tle-minde.1 and easily-shaped group of stu
dents in the world. The wisdom of the world cen
ters about them. Ihey have only to reach out to ap
prehend the bet I bat I thought and w ritten, and
yel their opinions on race, philosophy. x. n'1
world peace, if any at all. are fashioned by tbe par
ticular newspaper they read or the particular group
that forms their environment.
What an age this would be for thoe Anglo
Saxon writers and philosophers of the nineteenth
century who rose from the rank, of the students to
lend passionate support to similar movement, in
their day? Yet hardly an active .tudent voice is
heard in support of the movement going on today.
There are many things to blame for thla general
apathy. Terhaps it may be the fault of our educa
tional system which encourage, the passivenes. of
student thinking and allowa it to become atereo
typed. Terhaps it Is the sign of the dollar that ia
the cause; interest in philosophy, International
peace, and ethics is likely to prove a hindrance to
those who would make their way In the even lesa
liberal atmosphere of American wealth and busi

Christian Student Federation of Great Britain, in a

criticism. Though there are some notable excep- askance

WHERE THEY TEACH POLITICS.
TO TRAIN American youths for careers in public
1 life Princeton university next year will initiate
a school of political and international affaira-the
first of its kind in the United States, according to
pres. dispatches. This nation haa been backward
in recognizing politics as a legitimate business an
honorable practice and an open field for public
service. Consequently it baa suffered as indicated
by tbe type of men holding positions of public
responsibility. ...
In America the politician today is looked upon

regular fellows.
Styles are followed by students with implicit faith
in the dictates of Dame Fashion. The student pop
ulace seeks to do what everybody is doing. It wads
to go where everybody is going. Children begin life
a luiJUtors. By the time university graduation
comes they are confirmed mimics of tbe crowd
about tnenz.
Now a certain amount of standardization is nec
essary. Laws, moral codes and customs have their
basis In an effort to standardize human conduct.
These restrictions, however, are designed from time
to time and chaiged. Their alteration usually mean,
progress.
Progress ia the effect of Individual thinking and
meting. Individualism that brings thi. about does
not need to be extreme to the sense of violating
any of the established principles now In vogue, but
.hould have aa its aim to improve conditions among
all people of a nation.
la America too much is dona to mould every stu
dent Into a prescribed form. He is ground from the
education mill a standard product Just as flour
cemes from the wheat, or as automobiles emerge
employes quite differently. Young men mane pol
itics their life careers. Successful youths in this
line win the admiration and esteem of their fellow
countrymen.
Had the United States paid a little more atten
tion to training its citizena in matters of govern
ment, politics and allied subjects, it is reasonable
to presume that the whole political system of this
nation would be on a higher plane than It is today.
Recognizing politics, as Princeton has done, and
trying to better them through an organized polit
ical school is a move in the right direction. But
tbe Influence of this one school can never be felt
the country over. Improvement In politics and gov
ernmental career men will be gradual enough If
most colleges in the United States follow the Prince
ton lead. Given a chance, however, eduaction will
do much to clarify the jnurky atmosphere of gov
ernment service In Ameri.
