GASOLINE AND THE STUDENT
Dr. John Greer Hibben, president of Princeton
university, recently received more than one hundred
personal letters from all parts of the country con-
gratulating him on the position he has taken in ad-
monishing parents to prohibit their sons from
bringing motor cars to the university. The action
of the president was backed up by the senior coun-
cil, the student government body, and the motor car
in the hands of college students has been branded
by those higher up at Princeton as a badge of aris-
tocracy and something to be prohibited by the uni-
versity if not by the paretns.
Is the automobile really a detriment to students,
and, as such, should it be kept out of college life?
Is it not rather a fact that any action taken in sup-
pressing the right of students to bring motor cars to
school with them, whether such action be taken by
the authorities or the undergraduates, through the
agency of their representatives, would be tamper-
ing unduly with private rights, and would be jus-
tifiable only if supported by an almost universal,
public opinon.I
A university, like every other community, must
have its laws and regulations which are made for
the welfare of all concerned. .After these rules
have been lived up to, however, the student-citizen
is at liberty to do practically as he pleases. If he
can own and drive a motor car, and still abide by
the regulations and live up to the standards of schol-
arship set by the institution, what reason can be ad-
vanced for depriving him of the privilege of doing
so? But if. he cannot, of course, the authorities
should not be, and generally are not, hesitant to
drop him from the enrollment lists, or to apply
other suitable corrective methods.
And, as to the argument usually advanced that
the automobile is a symbol of class distinction and
thereby a detriment to society, if the student of
wealthy parents should be denied by a university the
privilege of running his automobile, he might easily
find one hundred and one far more harmful ways
to practice snobbishness if he were so inclined.
A NEW HOME FOR HEALTH
The relent announcement that the University
Health service would soon move into more ample
quarters iri what has been the children's ward of the
Homoeopathic hospital, is very welcome as being a
tacit acknowledgment of the value of this branch
of University supervision over the hives of under-
graduates.
The Health service, despite its failings, is a much-
appreciated institution among the students. This is
shown by the fact that, between July I and Decem-
ber 31, 1921, the number of. calls increased nearly
fifty per cent over the similar period of 1920. In no
matter is the old saw about the ounce of prevention
quite so important as in that of health, and it is to
be hoped that the change of location will aid the
Health service to branch out, and to make itself
an even greater asset to the campus, if that is pos-
sible, than it ever has been before.

WITHOUT BENEFIT OF COLD CASH
Every student publication has had or is having its
prize contest, and it would seem well at this time to
inq°tire whether the wave of such competitions,
which just now is sweeping over us, constitutes an
age or merely a rage. t
Time was when publication in a college maga-
zine was an honor, greatly to be sought. In that
day, the voluntary contributions of manuscript were
always in excess of the editorial needs. The most
gifted students strove with all their ability to meet
'the standards of their school paper, and, having met
those standards, did not soon forget the honor paid
to their writing by.the fact of its heat appearance
in print. That day is not past. In a few more
years its revival will be impossible.
The student who writes no longer 'rushes off his
best efforts to the offite of the college magazine, but
holds. it and waits for an offer. As a result, every
college publication must lay aside, at the beginning
of each year; a substantial sum of money, with
which to attract the youthful writers, and so fill
its own manuscript needs. This is professionalism
pure and simple, and it tends to destroy both the
magazine and the writer.-
The work of the college literary man or woman
is the work of youth; as a rule, it has not the full
background of life, which is necessary in order that
it may be placed in serious competition with the
work of recognized artists in the commercial mag-
azines. The intrinsic monetary worth of the col-
legian's offerings is next to nothing. And yet the
increasing scale of cash prizes for such pieces of
work has reached a point where substantial prices
are being paid for them; more, in reality, than the
manuscripts would bring if sold outside.
That student who has learned to negotiate for a
price upon his work before he leaves college, has
learned the wrong end of the author's profession
first, since only the greatest artists ever are able to
name their own prices. It would be better for the
youthful people-of-letters if their college training
and their college attempts at publication could ap-
proximate more nearly the natural conditions with
which a serious artists is at first - and, in some
cases, always - confronted.
The college magazines cannot hope to compete
with those publications which habitually pay for ma-
terial and which have difficulty enough to make
money in their own broad field. The thing has to
stop somewhere. It has even to go back somewhat,
since it ahs already proceeded beyond the point
where the ordinary earnings of the rnagazine will
take care of the cash prizes offered each year. When
it goes back, plenty of people will wish for a com
plete reinstatement of the older condition of af-
fairs, in which honor alone was the compensation
for distinctive college work. And these persons are
the ones who have at heart the best interests of the
profession of letters, of the college writers, and of

A Sea Tragedy
"The foc's'le,' cried the captain as his vessel was
helplessly tossed by a raging sea.
The crew deafened by the dashing wayes, barely,
heard his despairing cry, "The foc's'le !"
"What do you want?" they answered.
"The foc's'le!"' replied the captain; "the foc's'le
give me the devil if I don't get back into port by
tonight."

THE OOLLEGE LOAFER
(Wisconsin Cardinal)
To quote the dean of men of the
University of Illinois the college loaf-
er is .a "passive talkative being." He
loves ease, leisure, sleep, cigarets, cho-
colates, and girls. He is everywhere.
He need not be pointed at because he
is as obvious as the sidewalks, as such
taken for granted, but by no means a
taken for granted, but by no means as
useful. He is the man, or lather per-
son, who drapes himself so gracefully
about front porches, State street
store§, and sometimes, if he gets up in
time, about the entrance to Main ball.
To use his own idiom, he "hangs out"
at places where he may watch the
co-eds pass and where he may be
seen by those same co-eds, for he feeds
on vanity-and cigarets.
The college loafer has two purposes
in life. One is to know the latest dance
steps, the spiciest gossip, and to have
seen the last show at the Orpheum.
The other is to show ,as much distain
as possible for the undergraduate who
does his work because he likes it, or
who does it with energy because it is
his duty. The loafer feels that he is
in an exclusive society, and is proud
,of his characteristic of mental laziness
and sloth. He has no qualms of con-
science about borrowing' your notes
and then never returning them until
you look him up. To him it is coup
d'etat if he can so question you about
outside reading that he gets the gist of
it and may be spared the labor of doing
it for himself.
The trouble is that,'although he is
harmless in himself, yet he infects the
whole crowd, because he is allowed
to run loose. In short, he is an un-
mitigated pest, a public nuisancecand
a creature that the university could
well do without. It is a problem to
deal with him, since he cannot be
segregated or quarantined.s There re-
mains only the hope that various and
well known influences persuade him1
to remain' at home next semester.
