Speak the Speech as I
Pronounce It to You
Things have come to a most un
pretty pass. An increasingly ap
palling situation is rapidly coming
to a head. The conditions can no
longer be ignored. The time has
come to act. We must strike be
fore the eternal fires get good
and hot. Shoot we must, and to
kill. There's entirely too much
talking going on around this man's
school.
Talk, in itself, is an evil thing
especially for the young. Every
one knows that the duty of chil
dren is to listen (to the things
they ought to hear), to he seen,
and not to be heard. Talk that is
open, frank, searching, earnest is j
a, thing degrading. There is al
ways the danger of the pai'tici-
pants catching an idea. All too
many students are getwng ideas
lately and it's got to be stopped.
Most Prof Gab Harmless.
Of course there are all kinds
of talk, some less virulent than
others. The monologic, platform
professorial variety is not par
ticularly dangerous, as has been
shown through years of class
room exposure thereto, with a
nicely low percentage of positive
results. From its very nature,
this form is generally under
rigid eontrol. By dint of the de
liverer's own hard-starving of
Idea germs, and the administra
tive pasteurization, the average
lecture reaches the student ear.
as pleasantly Innocuous as milk
toast.
Once or twice a germy Idea ;
sneaks in the window, however, as
the spore of a poisonous mush
room sifts into the culled domesti
cated fungi bed. Usually, thank
the Lord, such occasional foreign
bodies fall on sterile soil, rendered
germ proof from an education long
series of lnnoculations against dis
ease. But, unfortunately, the worst
breeding places for ideas are the
informal conversation pieces which
appear in such obscure spots and
so unpredictably that there can be
no spreading of oil on the teeming
waters. Sometimes, tho rarely, hell
pops in a bull sessions of students.
Collegiate Confabs Safe.
This Is not the prayerfully
germproof boasting of notches
In belts affected by Greek gents,
nor the preening display of fra
ternity pins by sorority gals.
Also excluded are the smoke
screened plottings of campus
politics, and the beery swap
pings of questionable stories.
Barred, too, are the chit-chatty
date promotings in coke dens,
the multi-typed apple polishings
In dear teacher's office, and the
banal pasting of weather and
time of day with the hopeless
dancer you draw at an hour

utterly sanitary from all idea

But where the air Is literally

vaccinations, mouth washes and I
slaps on the wrist won't counter- i
art the exposure. True, the potent
serums may not take, but there's
always that frightful chance.
Cut It Out, Or Else.
Consider, for a horror stricken
moment, the aftermath of this
rare contamination. Althn sus
ceptibility Is generally low in the
population as a whole, it runs tcr
rifyingly high In some brain
headed persons. Their resistance,
unprotected by layer upon layer
of carefully cultivated indiffer
ence, may he so poor that they arc
practically defenseless before a
good strong shot of idea. Try as
they will, they must wrestle with
it, pour over it, read about it, and,
worst of all, talk about it. And so
tho menace spreads. Why, we've
heard of as many as a dozen peo
ple catching some particularly
contagious idea.
Obviously this sort ot thing
ean't be permitted to continue.
Pretty soon a large section of
the people will be stricken

clusion it much too ghastly to
elaborate upon. Suffice it to tay
that the end would be ruin to
all our honored Institutions of

quickly by the awful picture.
So please, faculty members, ad
ministrative officials, students ex

Impending doom to everything
mankind has always stood for.
Stem this poisonous flow of speech,
damn all expression of opinion,
all freedom of writing and talk

be atopped.

the University Players had picked

so
that Thursdny evening play goers
were missing no more man nan

The cast as a whole was much
more at ease, first night nervous

Characterization was much more
convincing but a number of the
players were quite evidently still
unable to catch the significance of
their roles. Misstatements were
plentiful, but there were not the

correct them which so pained lis
