An All-Senior
Function.
EFFORTS of the senior committee in charge of
organization should begin to bear fruit this aft
ernoon as members of the graduating class frolic at
the first function planned to bring Into closer con
tact the isolated individual members of the group.
As the school expanded and attendance in
creased, students began to assume the typical big
city attitude toward their associates. They knew no
one but those with whom they were thrown into
direct contact in their houses or In extra-curricular
activities and cared less. There came to be a sharp
cleavage between the Greek and the unaffiliated
students.
All this in turn bad Its effect on the attitude
toward the university as the student became an
alumnus. His revil-may-care feeling carried over.
Cace he left the university, his alma mater and his
obligation to it were promptly forgotten. Many were
not even Interested enough to keep In touch with
the Alumni association, much less take an active
interest in the organization.
Recent developments have shown that in order
to carry on the traditions and functions of a school
it must be backed by a potent and interested alumni
group. During the past two years the university has
fared badly In a financial way because of the ig
norance of the tax payers of the school's utility to
the state.
Thus, In order to form a strong Alumni associa
tion and eventually correct the evils that are known
to exist, there must be built up a feeling of unity
and fellowship while the student is still in school.
The sphere of acquaintanceship and Interest must
be widened. Some common bond of feeling must be
formed.
It was in hopes of providing in some manner for
this spirit of unity that the senior committee has
been at work. The dance this afternoon was planned
expressly for the purpose of bringing the senior
class together. Co-operation of the administration,
Alumni association, and senior honoraries has been
enthusiastically given. Will the class Itself respond
as well?
Hell Week on the
Front Pages Again.
HELL WEEK and fraternity initiations again
made the front pages this week when an
Arkansas student was seriously burned by a nitrate
solution used during initiation ceremonies. Six other
pledges were similarly treated and, according to
press dispatches, prosecution of members of the
fraternity has been discussed.
Similar experiences have been witnessed this
spring on other campuses, and at schools where
were particularly serious results from hell week bar
barism, the practice has nominally outlawed. This,
however, U the old idea of closing the barn door
after the horse is stolen. The action taken by the
various Interfraternity councils this spring came
too late to prevent another blot from being placed
on the already besmirched fraternity crest.
The sudden outburst this year of extraordinarily
rigorous tortures is not at all in keeping with the
recent trend toward a more serious attitude on the
part of students toward college and the fraternity.
It is a step backward into the roaring decade from
which the country Is now trying to recover. The
name of a current musical show might well be used
as the motto for that period "Anything Goes".
The pendulum now, however, Is swinging back
In the other direction. Probably mainly as a result
of the economic depression, students have decided
that colleges were placed into operation for some
useful purpose, and not merely as an amusement
park. Coincident with the adoption of a different
idea about study, there arose a similar feeling in
regard to a fraternity.
Many of the harmful practices once existent in
the fraternity system have been corrected, but this
old hell week headache insists on poisoning the
whole atmosphere. There Is absolutely no sound
basis for the childish displays witnessed each year
as Initiation time rolls around.
There may be validity to the argument some
sort of a probation period is needed for pledges
before acceptance into the brotherhood, but It should
not take the form of an Inquisition.
Nebraska fraternities have placed probation
week on a more constructive basis, but there is still
plenty of room for improvement. The quicker fra
ternities realize that they are only being asinine
and childish, the quicker will they be recognized by
those who now condemn them.
A Graduate School
Of Journalism.
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY recently announced
an innovation that should prove of interest to
the whole educational system in general, and to
journalists, both student and active, more specific
ally. Starting next fall the Columbia school of Jour
nalism, under Carl Ackerman, is to eliminate all
undergraduate courses and to apply itself entirely
to graduate work.
It Is doubtful if, under present economic condi
tions, such a move can be justified. There probably
has been a demand from a few for advanced work
in journalism, but to the rank and file it will not
mean much. The present wage scale for the beginner
in newspaper work, or In almost any other line of
journalistic endeavor, is not high enough to com
pensate for the extra time and money spent in the
advrnced training to be offered in this graduate
school. In fact the salary for few editors and sub
editors is great enough to justify it.
As the economic clouds roll away and wages
go back up, there may arise a general demand from
journalists for this type of study. Until then, it is
probable that Columbia will find few customers out
side of a lucky minority who are financially able
to indulge their desire for higher learning.
Student Council Must
Be A fter a Record.
STUDENT COUNCIL members proved this week
that they are right up on their toes, alert and
interested In. the projects which the student gov
erning body has under way at the present time.
Almost enough were present to constitute a quorum
at the meeting called Wednesday afternoon.
Lethargy and complete Indifference to Its duties
has characterized the council during most of the
year. A few members have gnawed their beards
and torn their hair In a vain search to find some
method of arousing action on the part of the greater
share of so-called campus representatives. The sum
total of all their attempts, however, has come to
exactly nothing. ,
There is a definite place and need on the campus
for a student governing body which functions in
some other way than that of a rubber stamp. There
are numerous projects that could have been worked
cut this year. It seems, however, that this year's
council Is after an all time record for having ac
complished the least during its term of office.
Barb Activities
Look Up.
AFTER MANY YEARS of suffering with an in
feriority complex the unaffiliated portion of
the student body is finally coming to the fore. The
passage of this year and last saw many more barbs
than in recent years participating in all extra-curricular
activities, and taking an active interest in
the organizations specifically designed to awaken
barb interest.
Following the organization of the Barb Inter
Club council three years ago, the women followed
suit with the Barb A. W. S. League. The two organ
izations have been lucky in that they have had
able and interested leaders to bring the barb ele
ment out of the depths to their rightful place of
prominence on the campus.
Continuation of a well planned program such as
is being carried out this year will do much to com
pletely erase the unjustifiable barrier which has
been erected between the unaffiliated and affiliated
groups on the campus.

One of the outstanding events In
the theater world the past week
has been the sudden passing of
Richard B, Harrison, the kindly
old gentleman who played "de
Lawd God Jehova" in "Green
Pastures." After playing 1,657
performances he found that ha was
too tired to go on, and his under
turfv. Charles Winter Wood, a for
mer Instructor st Tuskeegee Insti
tute and a near trieno or wr. nar
rison, became the dark deity. The
tribute paid to this venerable ao
tor In New York was tremendous.
Over 7,000 persons crowded Into
the vast Cathedral of 8t. John the
Divine for the final rites. The Hall
Johnson choir, whose spirituals "de
Lawd" had heard so many times
wtra again sung for him In this hi
"last act." Burial services were
held In Chicago, and again throngs
of dignitaries and common folk to
whom he had become somewhat of
a national Institution, filed into his
Simple home to pay their last re
spects. a
It is seldom In the theater that
one individual can gain such a tre
mendous following In so short a
time. Not alone the technical ar
tistry that Mr. Harrison brought
to his part, but the simple and sin
cere devotion with which this hum
ble man endowed his role, accounts
In a small measure for his success
The "Green Pastures" has already
become a theater tradition. ' yer
five years of traveling has brought
this eph drama of the Negro to
the farthest corners of the coun
try, and the untiring effort of "de
Lawd" and his troup In keeping
the fresh spontaneity always In the
play will be remembered by the
many who hive had the privilege
of seeing this drama. As he was
being escorted from his dressing
room the afternoon he collapsed at
the theater his final words to his
understudy were "Hold me up
Charley, the world needs this
play." A week later he was gone,
but his spirit will live as long as
the play Is produced.
Students from the Conservatory
of Music have been kept busy with
public appearance lately. June
Goethe, student with Emanuel
Wlshnow, gave her junior violin
recital Thursday in the Temple
theater. Victor Seymour, student
with Marguerite Klinker, gave a
piano recital last Sunday after
noon in the Temple theater. The
program included "Concerto, D
Major" by Hayden; "Sonatine
Transatlantique" by Tansman and
Arensky's "Concerto, Opus 2, F
Minor." Miss Klinker played the
orchestral accompaniment on the
second piano. The following stu
dents of Ruth Dreamer appeared
In a class recital last Thursday at
Recital Hall; Helen Bennett, Zeta
Allene Brown, Gwendolyn Booth,
Robert Bryan, Maalne Graves,
Jane McDowell, Romulo Soldevllla,
Wllma Stutt, Gloria Swanson and
Alice Terrll. Robert Bryan also
played for the Prescott P. T. A.
Tuesday. Bettie Zabrlskle and
