"The function of t lie professor is to develop
intellectual interest rather than to provide dif
ficult hurdles, and to reward successes rather
than to furnish failures."
If this he true, then the phrase "pipe course"
takes on n new meaning. Perhaps the instruc
tor who arouses student interest in his class
work will be able to give, in all justice, pood
prudes, simply because his students have be
come sufficiently acquainted with his subject.
At any rate, it is a consolinp thought. It
helps raise your spirits over pulling down a
ninety in n "pipe" course, ami it helps equally
as much as a consoling thought when you nie
flunked by the low-marking teacher.
It must have been the instructor's fault!

ihe profits. Not all legal or above-board pro

The administration was in a mixed up maze
..f red tape. No one knew for sure what the
big shots of the faculty were doing, nor why.
The lecislature was busy trimming the univer

the military department was busy making
statements.
The pulpit was also busy making statements.

City
Slickers.
Every once in a while someone gets "peeved"
at the aggies. Now agricultural students are
usually giMid students. In fact, they are more
often students than the city campus cakes or
loafers.
Aggies may take a crack once every so often
at the city campus, its inmates, its athletic
teams, or its habits and customs. Once every
so often, too. these cracks are justified. For
the downtown students, while perhaps excell
ing the aggies in some respects, fall far behind
them in others.
The city campus may strike back, too. as
witness the letter reprinted in today's Morn
ing Mail column.
Out of this simple for it really is quite sim
ple affair, grows a bit more ill-feeling. All
of which is bad. Very bad. It should be
stopped. Fass a law, or something.
For aggies and city slickers (who can tell
them apart?) are much the same. No distin
guishing characteristics, except that the agri
cultural campus is more beautiful, and they
have a betier cafeteria. And for real, honest-to-goodness
varsity parties, where everybody
knows and cuts in on everybody else, travel
to the ag campus some moonlit Saturday evening!

MORNING MAIL
Lore on the Farm.
TO THE EDITOR.
An Aggie student comes forth in his column
with a caustic crack at the varsity baseball
nine. He crows over the fact that the Ag col
lege beat the city campus nine, and unneces
sarilv adds "'But that's nothing so did
Iowa!"
Just why must the aggies here consider the
varsity proper a sworn enemy? 1 can't see
why geographical segregation should create
positive enmity between the schools. The wri
ter of that colutnn might benefit by taking a
look at a few from out there who manage to
make friends on the city campus, in spite of
its separation from the farm.
When feeling like that pervades, no wonder
w: don'1 get a union building and a few dozen
other things we'll have to pull together to get.

College Comment
Best Teacher,
Bc$t Gradet.
To all students who have fallen by the way
side during exams, Walter Dill Scott, presi
dent of Northwestern, brings words of greet
ing and good cheer. Says he, "I investigated
the grades of our best inst nictUK and of our
poom.t. By bent, mean t b-e who were cho-
Parody.
In summary of a long list of activities that
may attract 1 lie interest of sludents, the Daily
lllini of the University of Illinois set out what
it considers six advantages of participating in
exlra-curricular work. They are:
1. Gives rating privileges.
2. Acts as an incentive to grades.
'. Forms lasting friendships.
4. Develops personality.
5. Trains for professional and practical
Ot k.
rj. Shows way to live with the world.
Compleiing its (editorial, the Daily Illiui
says. "For the student who has ability to
both keep up his studies and work in activi
ties, we believe that he is neglecting a vital
part of his university life when he stays out
of extra-curricular participation."
An Oregon senior after reading the Illinois
editorial found it subject for rather cynical
comment. After four years in extra-curricular
work, he was impressed more with its disad
vantages than its advantages. He revised the
six points to read in this manner:
Participation in extra-curricular work.
1. Sets up false standards.
2. Acts as a preventive to grades.
i. Forms surface friendships.
4. Perverts personality.
". Trains for petty racketeering.
t. Shows way 1o appear to live without
really knowing the score.
While these poinls may seem wholly face
tious, there is something to be said about the
disadvantages that may come from participa
tion in extr-j-curricular work. Often a stu
dent shows more real strength of character
when he stays out of student activities.. Many
times the leaders in student affairs find that
their dnss work is suffering because of lack
of time to devote to studies. For the campus
"politicians" the friendships formed are often
only surface friendships. Perhaps there is
even a degree of "petty racketeering."
But for the student who can indulge in extra-curricular
work without neglecting his
class work, and who is working with the
thought of acquiring practical experience for
later Jife work, there is much to be gained.

ts what happened last week at
Farmers' fulr. Art Peterson, a
loyal freshman, poked his head out
of a canvas and let the boys inrow
eggs at hmi. They threw sixty

eggs should go up.
Election day on the college of
agriculture campus isn't far away
and already the different slates
are Demg maae up. some sur
prises are promised. Naturally
thers will be a spirited race for
the fair manager post for 1932. At
leact three prominent students
aspire to the position.
Some people have their embar
rassing moments. One college of
agriculture student had his last
Sunday. Observing the usual prac
tice of "tubbing" those students
who fail to work, this young man
was reprimanded for his actions.
Going to his home, it was found
that he was visiting the young
lady friend. A trip to her house,
however, produced the young mili
tary'' enthusiast. Thence a trip to
the college and an Introduction to
the hisotric house tank. What a
tale the horse tank' could tell if It
were able to speak!
Necessarily the backers of the
Kar Derby have declined to make
use of tho oval on the college
campus f ir the race of tho year.
Lack of room for the spirited
drivers from uptown makes it im

Dale Cress, college of agricul
ture student, who recently held the
varsity baseball team to six hits
while pitching for the Aggies, is a
former Nebraska Wesleyan ath
lete. While going to the Coyote
school, he performed at the pVot
position on the gridiron eleven.
Now Cress is getting his Smith
Hughes vocational agriculture cer
tificate in the college of agricul
ture. Incidentally the Aggies beat
the varsity, but that is nothing. So
did Iowa.
The final ag mixer is scheduled
for Saturday of this week ia the
student activities building. The
ag club and home economics club
are sponsoring the final hop.
