Purge, Salvation.
Dr. Karl H. Boll tins nx netile
a '"scoop" sense as (hose notable
examples of journalistic? enter
prise, Time and Life, Karly last
week lie urged us to adjudge the
columnar potentiality of "Apes'
Men and Morons." We promised
to, "one day soon." But that day
did not arrive soon enough to pre
vent both magazines from beating
us into print. The fault, however,
lies not with news-nosed Anthro
pologist Boll.
Author Hooton (Professor
earnest Albert, of Harvard) is
also an anthropologist. Better,
hi It a pithy, witty writer. Bet
ter still, he knows his Horn
aplens. Consequently, his little
work of anthropological electri
fication is both "good" reading
and "good reading."
But to Author Hooton befalls
the sorry fate of nil rlcver scien
tists that of having striking ideas
nnd catch-phrases lifted, from
their scholarly setting, and blnrbed
In reviews nnd book-jacket sales
talks. No doubt those
isolated j
gems made good news copy when
he delivered his lectures and pa
pers over the country the ad
dresses which, to a large extent,
comprise the book.
For Thinkers and Breeders.
Lead off to the "Hootonisms,"
which glimmer throughout the 2f)."i
pages of the $3 volume, is a pub
lisher's squib on the book jacket.
Opines G. T. Putnam's Sons: '"The
keynote of the book is that our
future evolution is in our own
hands for making or marring. And
we firmly believe that every
human animal who thinks and
breeds, or is even remotely likely
to do so. will find the ideas con
tained in this book the most essen
tiel and stimulating reading in
ny ny years."
Off to such a flying start, wv
travel at an unslaokened pace
through the Hooton theory of
man's biological heritage past,
present and dark-shadowed future.
And oft recurring is the author's
belief that the world of men is in
fl bad way, and it is up to men
to do something about it, "Man
Is a tottering biped." asserts the
author, "and we must look to his
organic underpinning"
We don't do such a hot job
of "making men," Prof. Hooton
feels. Indeed we are far more
intelligent about making auto
mobiles, or planting crops. "If
marriages were made in the
Ford factory instead of in
heaven, they would probably last
longer and turn out more effi
cient products."
Running Away With It.
"Infraprimate evolution is char
acterized bv passivity of the or
ganism, which evolves through a
sort of environmental determin
ism. In man, on the contrary,
evolution has become auto-directive.
The balance of power has
shifted from the environment to
the organism. Whether or not in
telligently, the animal has taken
the bit in its teth and is bolting
Natural selection has been tossed
out of the saddle and is prostrate
somewhere back in the muck. It
behooves us to consider this phe
nomenonman running away with
his own evolution."
"The path of degressive human
evolution, like hell, is paved with
good intentions medical, educa
tional, nnd ethical."
"We canot exercise an Intelli
gent control of environment
without a fundamental knowl
edge of the range and restric
tions of hereditary variations
. . . When Mr. Midshipman Easy
was called to account for a seri
ous breach of naval discipline,
he replied that it was 'all zeal,'
and when requested to explain
why he had flown the silk petti
coat of a senorita from the
masthead of a prize of war, he
stated that 'it was the banner
of equality and the rights ot
man.' We have adopted this
eatylsh philosophy without its
saving grace of humor; we hive
been plunging zealously ahead
under a banner of equality and
the rights of man, which turns
out to be less significant than
the senorita's lingerie."'
Biological House Cleaning.
"We. must either do some bio
logical bouse cleaning or delude
ouiselvoH wilh the futile hope that
government of the unfit, for the
tinfil. and by the unlit will nol
perish from the earth . . . Now it
seems to me perfectly clear that
Avliat we must do, in some way or
other, is to encourage a sit-down
reproductive strike of the busy
breeders among the morons, crim
inals, and social ineffectual of our
population . . . We must inculcate
into the rising generation a core
of biological ethics.
"The only valid reason for try
ing to improve the biological
status of man is that he be made
a better animal more honest,
more unselfish, more decent and
considerate In his human relations.
I think that a biological purge is
the essential prerequisite for a
Bocial and spiritual salvation. Let
us temper mercy with justice and
dispense charity with intelligence.
We must stop trying to cure mal
ignant biological growths wit 11
patent sociological nostrums. The
rmrreeriry demands a surgical

The Frairie Schooner is proud

All Teams Forfeit Monday
In Unsupported Drill
Touch Football.
By Martin Oclrich.
Forfeit, forfeit, forfeit, was the
net result of the three games
scheduled in the R. O. T. C. intra
mural football program Monday
afternoon. Company "K" Infantry
forfeited to Company "B" infantry.
Company "E" Infantry to Battery
"C" Field Artillery, and neither
Company "B" Engineers or Com
pany "K" Infantry put in their cp
pearance. Results thus far indicate that
some league champions will be
crowned without playing a single
game, and it is highly probable
that if the R. O. T. C. intramural
program receives no better sup
port this week, that it will be
dropped.
Forfeitures Cost Money.
Forfeited games in the R. O.
T. C. program are a distinct fi
nancial loss to the intramural de
partment because the cost of of
ficials goes on just the same as
if the game were played, and they
are not insured by a deposit such
as fraternities are required to post
which also more or less insures
the appearance of the teams on
scheduled dates and the success of
the program.
It is apparent that the failure
of the touch football program was
not entirely due to lack of enthus
iasm among the players, but di
dectly to the cadet athletic offi
cers who have evidently failed to
properly organize their teams and
keep them informed as to the dates
of games.
Games to be played at 4:45 Tues
day are Company "C" Engineers
vs. Company "M Infantry and

Yearbook to Include No
Group Pictures Taken
After Nov. 30.
Nov. 30 is the absolute deadline
of junior, senior, fraternity and
sorority pictures according to Bill
Clayton, editor of the Cornhusker.
Last year there was no extension
of the deadline and there will be
none this year. Bill Marsh, last
year's editor, would not extend
the deadline and as a result a num
ber of students who had failed to
have their pictures taken within
that time were left out of the
Cornhusker.
Since each fraternity and so
rority are paying for one page
each, those organizations will not
get full satisfaction, unless all the
pictures are included in the group.
It is also unfair to the rest of the
members if a few do not have
their pictures taken as that or
ganization is then not fully rep
resented.
More Individual Attention.
Everyone should have their pic
tures taken early and the late
ones may not get. as much atten
tion as they like because the
studio would be so rushed just
before the deadline, according to
Clayton. Most junior and senior
girls like individual attention, and
they can get this if they have
their pictures taken immediately,
for later the studio will also be
rushed on account of Christmas
business.
Plans are being made .by Bill
Clayton to have informal pictures
in the junior-senior sections and
the Greek sections if enough in
dividuals have their pictures tak
en. These informal pictures take
some of the formality out of the
front sections and several year
