WILL YOU BE
MY VALENTINE?
The buying and sending of val
entines In the form of elaborate
boxes of candy, gorgeous cor
sages, touching little romantic
verses, or else Jaat downright Joke
affairs, is campus business today.
Academic disappointments are
being placated, partially, at least,
by the dispatch of various and
sundry comic remembrances to
professurs, who were understand
ing but firm. On the other hand,
we find great pleasure in antici
pating the certain successful re
sults that will come to those
thoughtful swains who are send
ing a more romantic type of rem
brance to their "valentines."
Strange as it may seem to the
cynics in our midst, there has been
much more ado than usual, this
year, about cupid's holiday.

a pioneer one, found himself with
no geographic frontier to try his
mettle and to offer him laurels. But
the restless urge to push on was
undiminished. For want of a bet
ter outlet he turned his tremendous
racial energies into industry and
business and accumulated the more
tangible evidences of achievement
wealth, property. If he failed
here he failed entirely, completely.
"There was. of course, no train
ing school for the pioneer. He went
out and was one or wasn't. In
either case he seldom embarrassed
his friends and relatives further.
Perhaps our impatience with care
ful planning and long preparation
for a profession grew out of the
immediacy of pioneering. Instead
of taking up an occupation or a
profession as the culmination of
early parental preparation or the
gradual development of a particu
lar bent as in other countries, most
Americans get jobs or go to col
lege as they go to movies drift in,
with only a hazy notion of where
they're going or what it's all about.
Our Secret of Success.
''We seldom, it seems to me.
stop to consider the advantages
and disadvantages of the various
professions, to weigh what each
offers economic security, per
haps even affluence; fame, pow
er; or the opportunity for sen-ice
and the joy of congenial work
well done. We may take up fine
arts because someone about the
campus tells us that dacir.g and
china painting are 'pipes," or that
engineering pays big, or that law
offers special social and political
advantages, on and off the cam
pus. Later we find we do not like
a lab instructor or we develop a
crush for this or that student or
professor, or hear where we can
get a "hot" history note book for
the copying. We clamour at the
registrar's window, charge
courses, perhaps colleges. And
when we are finally graduated we
diift into this or "that thru pull,
thru accident, or thru necessity,
and if we accumulate a gfod liv
ing, a big house, a car that over
awes the traffic cop, and mem
berships in certain clubs of stand
ing we are placed, and pointed out.
Young people and repot ters for
the popular magazines interview
lis and let us tell them what was
the scoot of our auccess.
Pioneer Went West.
'But just recently the pretty
picture has been a little blurred.
Thousands of college graduates,
some even from the upper quar
tile and with connections lately
Influential, are jobless, in a few
cases very near actual hunger.
Angered at first, then bitter and
finally dull and confused, they
can't undei stand what has hap
pened to the world and to them.
Theoretically i't least they are
fitted 'to do some job well. The
world owes them an opportunity
to do it. The world always deliv
ered before.
"But did it? Until recently,
when the American found his
world disintegrating under his
feet and opportunity unreasonab.y
reticent, he piled bis belongings
Into a covered wagon and pushed
westward, whcie homes were com
paratively free, wnere litigation,
disease and violence provided work
for the doctor, the lawyer and the
grave digger. The pioneer endured
hardships but they were leavened
by adventure and apparently
everyon made good in a big way.
At least all we ever hear about
did. At the worst the migration
relieved the charity organizations

Consider Permanent Values,
''Out here in the middle west we
are selected and reselected wan
derers. At the slightest provoca
tion we pick up and go, whether
it be from a class, a school, a po
litical party, or a profession. This
unique ability to cast off all ties
and depart is an asset if we use
it to desert what has so often
failed us and search for greater
permanence. It is a liability if we
become professional wanderers.
"The man or woman choosing a
career will do well, it seems to
me, to consider this business of
permanent values, something out
side of money, social position, and
power, all of which may be and
sometimes has been swept away
between suns. The young person
choosing a profession may well do
a little advice seeking and self
searching to discover his handi
caps, his special abilities, his
physical, mental and spiritual
equipment. But most important,
it seems to me, is to discover
wherein he finds most joy and
self approbation. Then, if vicissi
tudes come, as come they will in
a society whose economic struc
tures are always rebuilt upon the
old crumbling foundations, and hi.
profession become less remunera
tive, he will still have the joy and
the approbation. These things are
at least of comparative perma
nence. Choose Profession Carefully.
"And if he should find his great
est satisfaction in the manipula
tion of things, if his choice seems
to be the ax or the monkey wrench
rather than theories and abstrac
tions, should he hesitate? Not
for a moment if he have the shoul
ders and th zest for the ax or
the wrench. Not even if it were
sonnets or the palette should he
hesitate. Those who have no
wealth and property to lose are
strangely undisturbed by the
swing of the economic pendluin.
"Altho there is no frontier to
speak of outside of the individual
himself today, no retreat from the
vagaries of nature and the un
wisdom of man other than the re
gions of the intellect, let t h e
young man not be appalled. Let
him choose his profession with
caution: weigh it carefully, make
his decision judiciously and with
what allegiance he can muster.
Let him insist upon the thing he
wants to be. And when the spade,
the sea pel. or the brief is laid
away for the day, let him. if he
likes, push out into the one fron
tier that is left to him, the broad
est, the most mysterious, the
land of things men are and have
been. It is not cntireiy unchar
tered. A great drama here, a
symphony there, a painting, a
poem snow capped peaks to
guide him. And between them are
deep canyons and foaming rivers
and waterfalls, waiting for the
eye and the ear.
"Let those who are choosing a
profession consider carefully what
they are to do but even more
carefully whai they are to be."
A cub reporter on the S. C
Daily Trojan performed a miracle
and was admitted for an interview
with Leroy Drake, the 19 year old
elf-confessed slayer, whom the
city news hawks had futilcly been
attempting to see. Drake's story
so touched the feminine heart of
the reporter that she refused to
publish it despite the offer from a
city paper to give her special rater
and a by-line.
