MORNING MAIL
The Return
Of The Awgwan
Members of the publication board in meeting
vesterday reacted favorably to the petition of
Sigma Delta Chi for the return of the Awgwan.
There is a strong possibility that the first issue
of tho magazine will be out before the holidays.
Convinced that there is a strong demand tor
a humor publication on the campus, board
members were unanimous in favoring the re
turn of the Awgwan. Their only concern is
over the permanency of the present student in
terest in the publication.
Twice before the Awgwan was abolished ana
twice before it was resurrected when a group
f interested and capable students announced
their willingness to take over the responsibility
for it For a time the magazine prospered and
then student interest began to lag. So long as
there were capable editors and business man
agers to work on the Awgwan it received
student support and was successful.
The greatest handicap the Awgwan has had
to overcome has been that bugbear of all uni
versity activities, politics. Staff positions be
came political plums for aspiring 'Hlulat
for other positions on the campus. The result,
was inferior editorial and business staffs

In the classroom women students religiously
take down the notes of the lecturer. They
follow the professor's advice in regard to buy
ing textbooks and Ids instructions in regard to
following his mimeographed outline. They are
less likely than men to offer dissenting opin
ions to those of the professor.
This apparent servility of the female species
is evidenced in other respects. They are. n ore
obedient to publie opinion and to the opinion
of other students than are men. Women do
not flunk out of school because they are sensi
tive to the disgrace of it.
We realize the danger in dealing in generali
ties. The above explanation is intended to
reveal a tendency in regard to coed scholar
ship and not an unvarying rule. It is not true
in every ease that women are conscientious and
obedient to authority any more than it is true
that all men think independently.

been said that the principle under which "e

from that of the student body as a whole.
There is no parallel to this in the city, state

The matter of making rules regulating

to make them without the interference of Hie

Should Conceal Incompetence.
"Consequently there are many
.-.in for a nrnfessor to ronrent his
incompetence from his students
and to get by without doing any
thinking. There is. for an ex
ample, authoritarianism, which is,
in all Its many forms, an enemy to
thought and a friend to learned
ignoianre. Its simplest form is
slavery to a textbook. OftPn, col
lege professors attempt to clirum
vent this slavery by Issuing invalu
able syllabi based on -cveral texts
which In reality say tho same
thing."
Professor Waller also goes on to
tell of two devices wheichy an in
structor ran appear to be lining
original work in writing a tcxt
hnnk wher.RS In reality he is
merely copying from someone else.
One is the trick of mediating be
tween the two extremes. In vtrit-
Ing a hook the author discovers
he must voice an opinion upon
some unavoidable issue. This can
be circumvented by playing bom
ends against the middle and slat- ,
Ing "The triiih Is probably seme-whf-re
between the two extremes"
and he is heralded ns one who has
delivered a pnlsed and balanced
judgment. "What n t!"
Deceiving Style.
The second trick or device Is
known as that of style. "Crack
jaw words put together in the
most Inartistic fashion possible
are used to bewilder his leader."
If any point is to be made finally,
this method so wearies the read
er's rritical faculties are destroyed
and he will be In a mood to accept
any near absurdity In order to
have done with the book.
"Nothing, however, that Is here
put down should be Interpreted as
meaning that there Is no original
thought on a university faculty."
