It is the all-inclusive appeal associated with
Mother that makes Mothers day such a glorious
xpression of this beautiful sentiment. C'hil-

i'i.i.' liulits pause to honor her. If she lives,
hey shower her with roses and letters and
! If she has passed on, they stop in the
frit of modern madness to reflect tenderly
!i the part she has had in shaping their lives.
n Mothers day love for the finest woman in

in an overwhelming feeling that brushes aside

some hope that eventually the Student council
may take an nctive and direct, rather than a
passive and indirect part in regulating student
activities upon the campus.
Although no discussion was held or action
taken in regard to the proposed swimming pool
construction plan, Chancellor Burnett pro
uiiscd action "at the earliest convenience of
the board," and there is no reason in the world
to doubt the sincere and favorable interest of
the regents in the project.
Considering the situation as a whole, there
is apparent on the surface of things u very
active interest in student projects on the part
of the regents. Students are pleased by this
interest, and are placed by it in a fur better
spirit to co-operate wholeheartedly with not
only the administration but the faculty in gen
eral. I'm- miv definite notion on the oucstion
of military science, prospects are dubious at
best.
As for action on the swimming pool plan.

Kacts and figures, objections and advantages
to a university pool construction project will
be presented to the board for action, either
favorable or unfavorable, at the earliest pos

AVe hope the members will realize the very,
very slight chance of financial disaster, and
the overwhelmingly favorable opportunity to
install an up-to-date, sanitary pool that will
more than pay its own way.

Dr. Brumbaugh recently sailed
from San Franeiscp, and word has
been received from him while en
route and after he arrived. He will
be located at Tokyo, Japan, a
great student center. More than
fifty Wesley Foundation centers in
the United States have agreed to
support this enterprise. Dr. Brum
baugh will follow in his work in
Japan, a plan similar to that car
ried out by Dr. Stanley Jones in
India. Ho hopes to create a better
understanding between the student
world of Japan and that of Amer
ica. The experiment will be
watched with great interest by the
group.- who have been interested
sufficiently to furnish the support.

Responsible
Campus Leaders.
A student election will be held May 19.
This time, it will be an election with some
significance, not merely a balloting for unim
portant class officers. There will be selected
at the polls members of the Student council,
and members of the Student Publications
board.
Those students selected to serve on the coun
cil will be chosen for a real service. The coun
cil, after long months and years of endless ar
gument, seems to be very near realization of
actual power, of control of student activities,
a perogative which it should have. The Pub
lications board has had. and will continue to
have a great task before it that of selecting
student staff members for undergraduate pub
lications who will not be too disappointingly
inefficient.
But students who vote at the polls are not
the only ones who share this responsibility of
putting good men into office. The campus po
litical factions must also play their part. Tf
students who will really be of service to the
university are to be selected at the polls, there
must be good men nominated by the factions.
It has come to the point where a man. no mat
ter how capable, mst have support of one of
the organized political parties as a prerequisite
to his entering office.
Therefore the factions have an opportunity
to be of real service to this university. Uow?
By nominating good men, not just collegiate
"popularity" boys who have no time to give
to anything more constructive than picnics or
sorority teas.
Tt is our hope that the factions will realize
this responsibility.
If they do not. the student voters will be
powerless to repair the damage, which has
been done far too often in the past.
College Comment
5o Long, Traditions!
"Our attempt to revive traditions is quite
futile," said Wallace Hall in the Student sen
ate of Ohio university recently. "The trend
of most colleges is to abolish them." This
statement seems to be just another rebuttal
of the current gripe around here that Notre
Dame is old fashioned. Notre Dame has never
in her history been burdened with a group of
weiifhty and useless "traditions" which have
neither rhyme nor reason to them. A minimum
of worthy customs have been observed here:
j'o foolioh hazing of freshmen, no nonsensical
frosh eapK, no class banquets with their inevit
able fights have detracted from the more im
portant activities of college life. There are
certain traditions which have stood on their
feet year after year. So long as tlx-y have
this inherent vigor, they should be maintained,
but once they begin to wobble, they might as
well fall. Artificial props under these tradi
tions are senseless and ineffectual, are mere
hollow ceremonies. The tendency in colleges
to break away from these pre-McKinley prac
tices has even attracted the attention of I ley
wood Broun, Scripps-IIoward columnist, who
said recently :
"To a certain extent 1 have a notion that
much which passes for college tradition is due
to pressure. Collegians all too frequently act
like collegians because they feel that it is ex
pected of them.
"Such pranks as bring police and first-page
headlines I refuse to accept a normal exuber
ance upon the part of youth. It belongs to an
artificial tradition sponsored by alumni old
enough to know a great deal better. I refuse
to believe that the average youngster is: ad
dicted by nature of hazing, cane rushes, and
other monkeyshines. He is merely bound to
the wheel of what has been.
"Sim-e there activities have endured it good
old Siwash for half a century, it takes a good
deal of sl.-niiiia t stand out and refuse con
formity. Hut ih liifht is at last beginning to
break." Notre Dame Scholastic.
