Raymond Mereola who was a
member of Byrd's first expedi-

to the students ofhe College a
thrilling account of his exper-
iences on February 26th.
He first told of his efforts in
getting accepted, showing his per-
sistence. In spite of repeated
failures, he followed the party
to New Zealand where he joined
them. He told of the conditions
on which they were accepted and
that the wages were a penny for
two years, but said there was not
one who went with the first ex-
pedition who would not go with
the second. He not only gave a
report of the scientific work of
the Commission, but told of the
daily life of the men and the
ways in which they managed to
pass the time during the six
months of darkness. A schoo!
was formed, which saved some
of them from going crazy, he be-
lieves.
He said there is no guess work
about the findings of the Byrd
expedition, because they were
scientifically calculated and re-
corded from direct communica-
tion. He gave a brief report of
what Byrd had done for the
cause of science and for America.
He corrected a number of er-
roneous ideas that people have
about it. There is no life there
save whales, and penguins, and a
few seals and birds, and explain-

He closed by paying a most
glowing tribute to Byrd and
made the students want to hear
about the present expedition. He
excited great interest in students
about the present expedition, so
they will follow it more intelli-
gently.
The date of the Junior-Senior
Banquet has been changed from
April 6th, to one week later.
April 13th. The change was
made since the orchestra selected
to play for the dancing could not
come on the date first set.
Jimmy Joyner and his State
College Collegians will play for
the occasion.
The idea of a French Cabaret
will be carried out. The entire
program of the evening will be

mics Sophomores will act as
pages, wearing identical cos-
tumes with those of the wait-
resses. Two floor shows have
been planned for.

Miss Louise Nagle, teacher of
Piano, delighted the audience
with her beautiful playing. Her
three selections were happily

CAMPUS OFFICIALS TO BE CHOSEN
Elections for campus officials for next
year will be soon. The new system installed
this year will eliminate the confusion of
several election days since all major campus
officials will be voted on the same day.
If East Carolina Teachers College con-
tinues to advance the way that she has in
the last few years, capable student leaders
are necessary. A well organized student
council cannot function well if capable coun-
cil members are not elected. A publication
cannot be representative of the student body
if its heads and their staff do not work for
the best.
No doubt, as long as there have been or-
ganized units on the campus, the cry has al-
ways arose, imploring that students think
twice before they vote. No matter how
long East Carolina Teachers College lives,
that plea will always be issued, and may we
add. wisely. Many tirnes votes are cast
Without even a thought as to what kind of
officers they will make. A run down cam-
pus organization will result if careful steps
are not taken.
There is a surprising lack of politics on
this campus. That is well. Students are not
in the clutches of persistent campaign mana-
gers, who are trying to get some particular
person elected to a position. Since that
campus political machine is absent students
are allowed to use their own intelligence in
voting. Since this condition of freedom does
exist, and they are not handicapped they are
requested to vote intelligently.
An attractive personality, a jovial man-
ner and a wide acquaintance are surely de-
sirable traits, for an officer. But their re-
quirements should not stop there. Many
times votes are cast for "my roommate or
because "I surely to like her" or "I think
she's cute with never a serious thought
whether or not that prospective council
member, for example, is willing to uphold
the rules of the student government associa-
tion. With never a thought in regard to the
fact that she would make a good officer or
not.
If each school year is to be progressive
as the last then progressive officers must be
chosen.
FOR MORE SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
WELCOME, ATHLETES
East Carolina Teachers College has
taken steps toward broadening social life on
the campus. The formal dinner held recent-
ly was quite successful and the tea given last
Sunday afternoon was most enjoyable.
The development of social ease should be
a very important part of every ones educa-
tion, but even more so in that of the teach-
ers, whose personality and conduct should
be beyond reproach. Besides being an inval-
uable aid, social etiquette gives one confi-
dence in his contact with the public, a feel-
ing of responsibility and desire for gain that
lends the final touch to happiness and ap-
preciation of life.
College life is a period of intensive
training and culture. Certainly that in-
cludes social activity. . Although having
been somewhat lacking in the past, its neces-
sity has been realized, and by mutual con-
sent, we eagerly accept it as an enjoyable
privilege.
East Carolina Teachers College extends
a cordial welcome to all high school stu-
dents participating in the basketball tourna-
ment that is being held on the campus now.
We are glad that Greenville and East
Carolina Teachers College are the hosts to
the Eastern North Carolina High School
Basketball Tournament. It is a pleasure to
have the high school athletes on the campus
and about the town.
Athletes are certainly an outstanding
factor in any high school. They serve to
develop a spirit of cooperation and to create
a general friendly relationship between the
members of the squad. Not only that but a
fine physical body can result only through
exercise. Basketball is a splendid way to
get this exercise. Outstanding athletes
prove to be outstanding students whether
they be high school or college students. It
is through their playing that a spirit of ath-
letics is built up in their school, and this re-
sults in a fine school spirit.
This gathering of Eastern North Caro-
lina athletes will not only create a strong
competition for the best team but it will
serve to broaden the acquaintances of the
members of the squad.
East Carolina Teachers College is play-
ing host to you, high school athletes. The
campus is for your inspection. We hope
that some day you will choose this college
for your college. This is one reason why we
are glad that the tournament is being held
in Greenville this year. It will give you a
chance to see the plant of East Carolina
Teachers College.
May your stay here be pleasant. We, the
students of East Carolina Teachers College,
extend to you, Eastern Carolina High School
athletes, a hearty welcome.
PLANS FOR HARVARD
Cambridge, Mass.� (IP)�In a recent
address, Dr. James B. Conant, youthful
president of Harvard University, indicated
that he intends to make the ancient institu-
tion a truly "national university
"The privately endowed universities in
the United States he said, "have a common
duty to the country at large which differs
in no significant way from the duty of the
state universities.
"It is our task to provide the best possi-
ble higher education for the youths of the
land who are anxious to obtain the training
which a university affords. This opportunity
should be open to all of promise without re-
gard to the financial status of their parents.
"Anyone who looks at the geographical
distribution of our students will agree that
we are a national university.
"It is my desire to increase further the
number of students who come from outside
New England and, in particular, to make
available our educational opportunities to
those who would like to come to us from a
distance but have little or no ready cash. To
do this I have revised our scholarship policy
and established for a period of years the
Harvard College Prize Fellowships in the
states of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Minnesota and Wisconsin
Dr. Conant said he hoped to expand the
plan to include all of the west as soon as
funds became available.
WE NEED COOPERATION
Cooperation is the central figure of
achievement and a necessary element in any
student body. Ours does not run contrary
to the usual type. Without cooperation, or-
ganization would not be possible whether
that organization refers to the class organi-
zations, the clubs, or the college adminstra-
tion itself. The motto of our college is "To
Serve and to serve successfully and do our
best is impossible if cooperation is lacking.
Cooperation serves to create a wider
scope of friendship among fellow students.
Certainly work on committees creates the
need for cooperation, and surely such work
brings individuals in closer contact with
each other, making for better friends.
Cooperation can produce successful
leaders, and certainly no organization can
function without capable leaders. Coopera-
tion of individuals is also a necessary factor.
Our own idea for a debate: "Resolved,
That a Man Can Become a Bigger Fool Over
a Woman than a Woman Can Become Over
a Man
Ruts are easy to get into. The way to
get out is a sharp turn in a new direction.
You may break a wheel, but you'll get out.

The co-ed with the most deli-
cious sense of humor in all
America, we think, is a girl,
whose real name is unknown, at
the University of Iowa (Iowa
City).
A student Methodist conven-
tion was in progress on that cam-
pus the other day and dates were
provided for some of the out-of-
state boys. One of these young
men was presented with a large
buxom girl for the evening.
Somehow he caught the phrase
"Margaret Hall" and associated
it with his new partner. As the
evening wore on, he introduced
his partner to all his friends as
Margaret Hall, and, since the girl
said nothing, naturally presumed
the name was correct.
Think, then, of his consterna-
tion when he wa sinformed hours
later that "Margaret Hall" was
the women's dormitory!
Simile: As cast down as the
student who spent a year ridding
himself of "b. o and then found
out people didn't like him any-
way.
The annual winter fuss over
the discharges and resignations of
football coaches occupies student
attention in a fistfull of univer-
sities; but in nearly all schools
the students, whose ranks pro-
vide the players and for whom
the game originally was intended,
have little or nothing to say about
the affairs of their athletic de-
partments.
At the University of Nevada
(Reno) there is a body called the
Associated Students who thought
they had some control over the
destiny of their coach�until an
administrative committee stepped
in.
Freshmen players at the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma (Norman)
rose up in arms, too, about the
possible resignation of their coach
and no doubt many of the stu-
dents at Louisiana State Univer-
sity (Baton Rouge) had some
definite ideas about the parting
of Biff Jones after his fight with
Senator Long�but with a cen-
sored student press their ideas
had to remain in their heads.

There is real student power at
the University of Washington
(Seattle), however. The student
organization there not only hires,
fires and determines pay of
coaches, but runs all student ac-
tivities, including mammoth co-
operative book store.

There is a wrestler at the Uni-
versity of Minnesota (Minneapo-
lis) who is going to amount to
something some day.
He was consigned to the col-
lege hospital for measles a few
days before a big wrestling meet.
As the day drew near the boy
grew more fidgety, afraid he
would be in poor shape, even if
he got out of his ward in time.
So one morning he locked the
door of the ward, hauled other
measle-sufferers from bed, threw
the mattresses on the floor�and
got them to wrestle with him. He
kept in shape, all right, and was
released in time for the meet. But
the other boys�well, all of them
went back to bed with increased
temperatures, and could not leave
when their terms were up.

THE ULTIMA RATIO
The first choice bit that comes
to me this week is "Who are the
two girls in the new dining
room who cannot keep from
looking at Charles Ivey Bunn. 1
understand that one of them is
from Spring Hope, and the other
from Columbia.
And Catherine Woodall we
hear almost broke her neck one
morning last week to finish
breakfast in order that she might
go uptown and get back in a hur-
ry. Catherine did just that only
to find out when she got up
there that the stores would not
be open for about an hour.
We also see that some one has
put a light in the region of ye
olde ice boxee. We wonder
why? That corner surely is il-
luminated now. And one more
quarter is gone. To the Prac-
tice Teachers that means heaven.
About the best one that we've
heard in a long time is the one
on one certain council member.
She went to church one night and
came back by her dormitory, and
forgot to sign in until about ten
o'clock. When she went down
to the office to sign in some one
made the remark that it might
leave the impression that she
didn't go to church. Well, the
truth of the matter was; her
father was a preacher and she
outlined the sermon and sent it
to him so that he might use it as
one of )as own some day. As
for checking up. we never heard
one any better than that.
It is rumored around campus
that one certain Fran Ferebee
really is in love. And from that
far away look in Fran's eyes
(sometime) we can easily con-
firm the statement. We wish that
his girl would come to see him
again�it might help matters a
bit.
Helen Boomer and G. R. Gam-
mon, Jr are all washed up, we
hear. Sad, but true.
Theo Easom has been with the
same girl twice in the last three
weeks. We can't understand it.
Now that the end of the quar-
ter is here, all we can here is
"I've got to study, I've got to
study We hear that a few cer-
tain people are expecting to en-
joy themselves immensely be-
tween terms.
What is this rumor about El-
len Jenkins and the salesman
from Ormond Wholesale Com-
pany?
In a "Guilfordian official
publication from Guilford Col-
lege there appeared an excerpt
in the gossip column, that one
certain basketball player gave a
tall waitress a break by taking
her to a show when their team
was down here. Yeah, gave her
a break We resent that�or
rather she does�imagine giving
that girl a break.
It happened about three weeks
ago�you may have heard about
it, or you may not have�any-
way it happened like this�Mr.
Flanagan, Doc Mathis and Miss
Smith were seen riding. From
all appearance it seems as if they
were the only people in the car
�however Mr. Flanagan doubts
the veracity of this statement,
and says that another girl was
along. While we're on the sub-
ject, may we add that when the
"cat's away the mice will play
Sometimes when Mr. and Mrs.
M. L, Wright are away there are
frequently visitors at their table.
Guests of the other members
who make up the table we pre-
sume. One night we noticed that
there were only two lady guests
Presumable guests of Bill and
Dan. (Note. Miss Smith was
away that night so Mr. Flanagan
had no guest. Also conspicious
by his absence was "Doc" Ma-
this.) Mr. Flanagan surely has
to get busy if he keeps up with
the pace set by his�well, shall
we say rival.?
Bill Hearse, a popular ex-coed
used to be seea places with Nel-
lie Grissom. Now when he is
passing through Greenville he
comes over to the college to see
all his old friends. Well, Nellie
is teaching in Leggetts this year,
and Bill continues to come to
Greenville. It is rumored that
some- of the office officials re-
ceives a card from him quite
frequently, and that he paid her
quite a lengthy visit on this last
trip. Of course now, he might
have been on his way to Leg-
getts, but he did spend quite a
while in Greenville, and around
the college.
Speaking of Bill reminds us
that we were quite glad to have
Eric Tucker back with us on the
campus this past week-end. The
old grads are always welcome.
Sinnett caused quite a bit of
excitement on the campus. From
the answers given to the college
girls, the student body will be
somewhat diminished in a few
months. It seems as if about
half f the students registered
here now as "Miss" will be reg-
istered as "Mr. and Mrs Well,
here's luck to ffcem. It was
quite an experience to go to a
performance and listen at him
read someone else's future. The
theatre was full at every show-
ing. Speaking of shows we'd say
that "Irritation of Life" would
rate four stars in any man's vo-
cabulary.
'Tis getting to be spring again.
Last Sunday the campus looked
like a veritable Easter Parade,
with blues and yellow predomi-
nating all other colors. Speaking
of spring, the campus couplets
seem to be doing right well.
Short shots�We wonder if
i
j Epstein has finally made up his
'mind�and Fran Ferebee too�
�Red" Flanagan is still flitting
around�Melba O'Brien and her
"Lousy" are still that-a-way�
Well, we can't blame them�Now
that it is banquet time, we want
to know who Kat Hines is going
to ask�Theo Easom was seen
with a new girl last Sunday �
Wake Forest Junior Senior bids
are still on the make�
We understand that the tea
held last Sunday was well at-
tended�We're glad to see such a
movement on campus�and stu-
dents are already talking about
tin- college dance.

A total of fifty-one teams will
participate in the tourney dur-

it was learned this morning from
student manager. Jimmie Carr.
The finals will be run off Mon-
day night, March 11th.
The B Class schools are best
represented in the tournament
with forty-seven entries. New
Hern, Washington and Greenville
are the only schools entering
Class A teams.
Bob Eason, former E. C. T. C.
basketbajl player, is bringing his
boys' team down today. The
West Edgecombe team will meet
Bear Grass in the first rounds.

Mount Vernon, la.�What do
college students do with their

important query. Prof. Russell
Cooper, of Cornell College, gives
us the following data from a
survey conducted by him recent-
ly:
1. Senior men spend 55 hours
of each week sleeping.
2. Women of Cornell College
devote four hours per week more
than the men to personal appear-
ance.
5. Senior men are the most
studious of the students, and
they spend nine and one-half
hours per week at the dining
table.
4. Freshmen write home on the
average of two and one-half
hours a week.
5. Junior women consume

Atlantic City, N. J.�A new
formula for success for women
graduates of the colleges and
universities in the United States
was advanced here recently by
Miss Jean L. Shepard, a New
York personnel director.
And the reason most college
women find it difficult to obtain
jobs after graduation is because
they neglect style consciousness
for intellectual pursuits, she said.
"To succeed in business she
advised, "the average college girl
must give more attention to her
appearance, and that means
more than being well dressed. In
sweater and skirt, the college
girls look attractive on the cam-
pus, but I am shocked to see how
lacking those same girls are in
smartness and chic when they

year's subscription�and what's
more, she collected the $1 fee.
It all happened following the
Commencement exercises held

monwealth's first citizen was
awarded the degree of doctor of
laws. The governor and other
distinguished guests were having
luncheon as guest of Pros, and
Mrs. Charles E. Boury, when the

publicity stunt if they could
photograph him with an Owl in
hand. Followed a hurried hunt
for an Owl. as the last few issues

discovery that the only copy was
one of February, 1934.
Miss Nadeine Reiter. attractive
senior, was delegated to show
the copy to the governor, while
staff photographer Milton Stand-

PROCLAIMED A SUCCESS
Butlar, Pa�Exactly 65 per
cent of the men attending Ameri-

according to William G. Heisel,
president of the Butler-Arm-
strong Council of Scouts.
Using figures obtained in a
recent survey, Heisel stated that
60 per cent of all football cap-
tains on college teams were
Scouts at one time during their
careers.
University sports in Germany
are still in their infancy, having
been introduced only about 14
years ago by ex-soldiers. Up to
now they have considered duel-
ing to be the only sport worthy
of them.
Chicago, 111.�The widely dis-
cussed University of Chicago
"revolution in education" has
been proclaimed a success.
"We do not claim to have dis-
covered a mystic formula for
painless education said Dean
Chauncey S. Boucher in a book
titled "The Chicago College
Plan "but we do claim that for
ten years and particularly during
the last five years, we have
studied our job in the manner of
the most thorough job-analysis
Students and faculty alike
agree that the plan has greatly
improved student-faculty rela-
tions, the Dean says, because ex-
aminations are divorced from the
teaching function, the competi-
tion between student and teacher
is eliminated.
Site of 1940 Olympic games
will not be determined until
next year, the International
Olympic Congress decided re-
cently, although it had formerly
planned to name the site during
the present meeting.
Originally the games were un-
officially set for Italy, but as a
result of overtures from Japan,
Italian officials decided to step
aside so that the games could be
held in Tokyo.
Recently, however, it develop-
ed that there was some uncer-
tainty as to Italy's exact position
in the matter and it was decided
to wait until the next meeting
during the Olympic games at
Berlin.
MANY PROFESSORS
CALLED INTO SERVICE
New Haven, Conn.�Yale Uni-
versity has called a halt on fur-
nishing brain trust material to
the federal government.
So many Yale professors have
been called into government ser-
vice during the past two years
that Pres. James Rowland An-
gell has said that, "Fairness to
the students requires that the
university call a halt, despite its
genuine desire to serve the pub-
lic interest
Pointing out that the "situation
has at times reached proportions
which have not been free of em-
barrassment President Angell
said: "If such men as a conse-

Another seemingly impossible
;� k was successfully ascended
by th E. C. T. C. girls' basket-
ball team last week when they
tied the varsity William and
Mary team at Williamsburg, Va.
Handicapped by a foreign
court, three division play, and
comparative diminutiveness,
Coach Frank's team fought val-
rentiy in the third quarter to
change a one-sided score to a
25-all tie. The last half was
played on a two division basis,
and although William and Mary
led 21-10 at the end of the third
quarter, the Ramblers staged a
thrilling comeback to score 15
points before the final whistle
and limit the Virginia sextet to
two action shots.
Home, of William and Mary,
was high scorer of the evening,
with fifteen points, but she was
closely paced by Sinclair, Ramb-
ler forward, who sank six long
shots during the last half. As-
kew ranked next in the scoring
with eleven points.
The guards of both teams fail-
ed to weaken in any period, and
Captain Briley turned in excel-
lent all-around play for the
teachers.
LOSE ONE
A strong A. S. T. C. team
downed the Ramblers last Fri-
day evening, 25-17, by virtue of
it's play in the first half while
the E. C. T. C. team was firing on
about "two cylinders
During the first period the
teams jumped center, and the
itamblers received an advantage
m this respect only about once
in ten toss-ups. As a result, al-
though the E. C. T. C. forwards
attempted several almost perfect
shots, the score board reflected a
15-1 score at the turn in favor of
the Boone Teachers.
In their characteristic manner,
the Ramblers staged a brilliant
comeback in the final half, and
even in defeat the team gave an-
other demonstration that they

THE TECO ECHO
Ruth Henderson, Reporter
A deputation team of three
men from the Baptist Union of
Wake Forest College conducted
the Y. V. C. A. services of East
Carolina Teachers College Sun-
day night, February 24th. Their
subject was "Peace subdivided
into three topics, "World Peace
"Man Peace and "Soul Peace
Alfred Martin, of Lumberton,
in talking on "World Peace"
stated that it is evident that the
majority of people want peace,
and that one task before the stu-
dent generation of today is to
recognize the great problems that
are confronting the nations and
to think through them so that
they can do something about
them when they become leaders.
Only when people think in
terms of Peace can World Peace
come.
Junias Martin, of Adairsville,
Ga talked on "Man Peace A
vital personal question in every
life, he said, is how to live in or-
der to bring about a peaceful and
abundant life. When one has
learned to blend into harmonious
living the secular with the sacred
side of his being, then only does
he attain peace in life.
W. R. Dixon. of Rocky Mount,
developed the third topic as the
climax of the series. He said it
is the soul that controls the in-
tellect and will: when it flows
through the intellect it is called
genius; and when through the
affections, it is called love, which
he interpreted in its greatest
sense. Man. he said, does not
realize the full potentialities of
the soul, until he achieves peace
of the soul. Then there is an in-
flux of the divine, creating with-
in one a desire to become Christ-
like, and it is this which makes
problems, both world and per-
sonal, seem to fade into nothing,
and then only does the individual
attain, "Soul Peace
The service was closed with a
prayer-hymn sung by Alfred
Martin, after which. W. R. Dixon
gave the benediction.

HOLDS MEETING
Iowa City. la.�A "League for
the promotion of War" has been
organized at the University of
Iowa.
Founded by a group of stu-
dents who believe that dictator-
ship is the only solution for the
complex of modern civilization,
the new club is opposed to an-
other group here which is advo-
cating world peace.
Compulsory military training
for all male citizens in the
United States was one of the
resolutions passed at the first
meeting of the organization. In
addition, if this club has its way,
all college students, both men
and women, would be required
to take four years of military
study.
The group leaders plan to in-
vite Huey P. Long to become its
honorary leader.

The wedding of Miss Lucille

Francis Barnes, of Williamston,

Episcopal Church in Williamston,
N. C, at five-thirty in the after-
noon, Friday, March 1, 1935.
Mrs. Barnes attended E. C. T.
C. and has taught in Williamston
for several years. While a stu-
dent here, she was a member of
the Student Council.
The "Rah-Rah boy" who went
to college to enjoy life and ob-
tain some social luster, strain his
vocal chords in the cheer gangs,
and offer to die any time for
dear old Alma Mater is disap-
pearing from the campus. A stu-
dent interested in world affairs,
government, and social and poli-
tical economy, is taking the cam-
pus play-boy's place.
This is the encouraging an-
nouncement of Dr. Walter A.
Jessup in his first report as
President of the Carnegie Foun-
dation for the Advancement of
Teaching. It is concurred in by
a number of university and col-
lege editors who were queried by
The Literary Digest.
Add this evidence to the indi-
cations brought out by the Lit-
erary Digest peace poll (that the-
students of to-day are more ser-
ious-minded than their predeces-
sors of the 'twenties,) and the
weight of testimony is over-
whelmingly in support of Doctor
Jessup's report.
That report, said the New York
Times "furnishes profitable read-
ing for the presidents, trustees,
teachers, and- graduates of the
more than 800 colleges and uni-
versities in the United States. So
valuable are its ten pages in gen-
eral review of the world of the
year�that they should be given
wider circulation
Sounds A Warning
While he was putting in a good
word for the student of to-day,
Doctor Jessup sounded a warning
that a struggle for survival among
American colleges was imminent.
He pointed out that the United
States had 800 institutions of
higher education while in all
England, Scotland, Wales, and
Ireland there were fewer than
twenty-five.
Already, he said, there were
some American institutions
which were so far from fulfill-
ing their function that they
might as well abandon the strug-
gle. There would be others, he
predicted, which would lose
ground, and some which would
disappear.
The issue of the struggle, as-
serted Doctor Jessup, will not de-
pend on money. "Survival will
be conditioned by intelligent
leadership, high morale, and the
courage to be sincere with the
students by selecting and educat-
ing them only in the field of in-
stitutional competency and in
that field doing a genuine and
significant job.
"In the long run. colleges will
be evaluated by their success in
maintaining themselves as seats
of learning for students and
staff.
Of special interest to parents
whose sons are in college or pre-
paring to matriculate is Doctor
Jessup's description of the cam-
pus-boy of to-day. He "is no
longer the blase, sophisticated
student of the 'twenties; he is a
hard-working, serious-minded
person who demands more of the
college library, the laboratory
and the instructor than did his
brother of a decade ago
Views of Student Editors
Student editors from widely
scattered campuses agree. In re-
ply to The Literary Digest's
question, D. B. Hardeman, Editor
of The Daily Texan, student pub-
lication of the University of
Texas, said the "rah-rah days are
gone
Mr. Hardoman, who is also
President of the Intercollegiate
Daily Editors' Association, wrote:
"Greater use of libraries, better
conduct of students, demand of
newspaper readers for more ser-
ious articles, increased interest of
students in politics, less empha-
sis on fraternity membership, less
emphasis on athletics, greater in-
dependence of thought, less rev-
erence for existing institutions,
show the college man is thinking
more and playing less
"The passing of the 'rah-hah'
era is a blessing of hard times
replied Albert Kosek, Editor of
The Minnesota Daily, University
of Minnesota. "Students now
want dollar for dollar values in
education.
"The student has been taken
ply from Janathan B. Bingham,
Chairman of The Yale Daily
News, who said that the most
conclusive evidence of the change
in student type "is that 'rah-rah'
is now a term of derision. Yale's
serious-mindedness is shown by
tripling registration in govern-
ment economics courses, a demand
for small classes, and individual
instruction.
"The founding of the Yale
Political Union and liberal cur-
ricular changes are widely ac-
claimed here. The Yale Daily
News resents exclusion of Yale in
the list, and declares that there
is great progress in students'
awareness and thinking
The resentment expressed by
Mr. Bingham is evidently in re-
ference to the statement by Doc-
tor Jessup that the emergence
of the serious-minded student
"lias been notably true at Chica-
go, Harvard, Minnesota, and
Princeton
A Marked Trend
The statement is borne out as
it concerns the great university
at Chicago. "Chicago is distinct-
ly less 'rah-rah' since the depres-
sion and new plan wired How-
ard P. Hudson, Editor of The
Daily Maroon.
"There is a marked trend to-
ward academic political and in-
ternational discussions by stu-
dents, rather than the campus
politics of old days
Less positive, but encouraging,
is the message from the Univer-
sity of Virginia. The " 'rah-rah'
era ended here years ago re-
plied Murot Williams, Editor of
College Topics. "It still prevails
