THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1921 Night Editor-G. P. OVERTON SCARE HEADS AND NEWS-ROT The question as- to what is the effect on the pub- lic mind of the printing of news crime and sandal is one on which editors and publishers everywhere disagree. The excuse commonly given for the pub- lishing of the usual news-rot of the average "yel- low" journal, is that it not only pleases the public but'has a beneficial effect in showing that public the inadvisability of following the example of those whose names are "played up" in a questionable light. On the whole, however, it would seem that this idea is erroneous, and that the real effect on the public of scare heads and sensation is to increase rather than decrease the spread of crime and vice. The despondent individual reads that a certain man has killed himself by drinking carbolic acid, let. us say. The carbolic acid idea becomes an obsession with the down-and-outer-he sees it as a possible way out of the difficulties attendant upon the liv- -ing of this life; and ultimately he goes off in a fence corner and also drinks some of the stuff. One trouble is that the reporter too often tries to be a dramatist when he is entirely unfitted to be one. The result is that he frequently gets the wrong angle or twist to his "stories", and they become harmful to the public rather than beneficial. More- over, the kind and size of headlines and the treat- ment of a story by the headline writer is frequently -all too suggestive, and, more often than not, goes actually much farther than does the article itself. As a natural consequence, the readers are apt to get an undesirable reaction from, the yarn. Possibly, as suggested- in the recent convention here of the University Press Club of Michigan, an increase in the educational standards of men and women in the journalism profession would do much to remedy the evils accruing from ignorance and exaggerated ideals, and from the attendant efforts of the editors and reporters to "give the public what it wants". But certainly, whatever the remedy, a general decrease in the daily display of journalistic smut throughout the country ought to have a great effect in raising our national ideals and in bettering our mental and moral outlook. DEFENSE OF YOUTH There are three distinct stages in the metamor- phosis of man: infancy, youth and old age. During the first he is petted when he cries and cries when he is not petted. In the second stage he pets him- self on the back with the belief that he is an all- knowing being, scorning those who are now in the first stage and condescending if he hearkens to the words of his elders, whether they be sound or not. The last stage is the most peculiar, however, and the most difficult of diagnosis, for here he pets the infant, scolds the youth and asks petting and pat- ting for himself. The present decade has brought about a situation which causes us to give the above definition more than passing consideration, even though it lacks that peculiar definiteness which a scientific interpre- tation might possess. For today, those of the third stage are descending with religious wrath and cries of indignation that the modern youth is living too "fast", disregarding morals and traditional custom for the worship of the great god Pleasure. Dances are said to be bordering close on the unmoral, di- vorces are becoming more and more frequent and marriage vows are said to be considered with little or no respect. Everything is wrong, and the young people are to blame, say those of the third stage. But let us hearken to the words of Dr. Paul Voelker, president of Olivet college. ' "I want to say," he declares, "that the young men and women of America are just as moral as we, their parents and elders, make them.. * * *" Here, then, from one who has himself been through the first and second stages, and who is now in the third, we find the key to the situation. If the elder critics - and surely they mean well - would only take more se- riously the fact that "good is as good is taught", that if they would only realize that they themselves were in the second stage of the metamorphosis at one time, and had undergone all the trials and trib- ulations which their children are now passing through, less criticism and unjust blame would be passed around, and correction would be the word of the day. Teach a child to do wrong by example, and he is bound to follow the advice of his teacher, but teach him to do right, to act right and to think right, and the result will be doubly beneficial. Man learns as he lives! THE GLAD-HANDERS This is about time for the mid-season drive of "glad-handers", the students who have failed to keep their work up to the proper standard, whether because they were indulging in talk-talk sessions, or "dating", or just plain lazy. About this time these self-confessed failures will be slipping up to the instructor and asking foolish questions and try- *ing to flatter the pedagogue into "letting them through easy". One popular professor made his Declaration of Independence last spring when he informed the feminine members of his class that they had better study for the next blue-book along with the mere males "as no weeping and wailing into dainty hand- kerchiefs" would help them if they didn't know enough about the course to pass the forthcoming blue-book. If your self-respect does not rebel at the thought of this "glad-handing" your common sense should warn you. The instructor has been through col- lege too - perhaps even has "pulled" the same thing you consider so original. And after all, the amount of time spent in "glad-handing" is usually more than that necessary to really pass the course on your .merits. Don't "glad-hand". It isn't worth il, New York may or may not be nod for her beautiful women but through her reducing classes she surely is famous for her fat ones. Now is the time to start saving for that Wis- consin Special. Tlse telescope Auto It Be Look here, my children, and you snal 4. Our college in nineteen thirty-three: Sedans are parked on the campus lawn, Behind U hall are limousines drawn, Touring cars line the diagonal walk, Parallel parking is laid out in chalk. Before the library, under the trees, Bright colored roadsters bask in the breeze; And on the location of old Tappan hall, Great, clumsy motor trucks leisurely crawl. Ground floor class rooms, too noisy by far, Make a safe nest for a faculty car; And second floor halls devoted to arts Are perfectly dandy for pleasure car parts. Up higher, the students in lecture appear, A wireless head-set clamped to each ear, Through a megaphone huge the professors implore, But even their bellows are lost in the roar. A ramp from the street leads directly to Hill When to concert folk go, they drive over the sill. Ah, the times will be changed from what they are now, No walking to classes will Regents allow: And students a president no more can need, For a big Irish traffic cop handles the speed.
