There are students attending nearly every college and university in the country whose sole purpose in going to school is the absorption of technical knowledge and infor- mation. They seidom appear out-. side the study room, at least in con- nection with work in addition to the regular class preparation. They are commonly known by the asso- ciates as "book-worms." Such students are very proficient in at least one phase of their edu- cation; they are grade getters and have an abundant store of infor- mation at their finger tips. They are, however, sadly neglecting to develop themselves. along other lines nearly if not entirely as im- portant as good grades. The suc- cessful man or woman today must be a well balanced individual. Technical knowledge is important and essential, but its most effective use by the successful leader is de- pendent on certain other charac- teristics. The mansholding the leader's position must be A good social mixer, must be able to make a new friend of each new acquaintance. He must by no means neglect his personal social development. Since the extent to which he will be able to use his mental and social devel- opment is naturally more or less dependent on a strong physical body, it is imperative that physical development be constantly striven for. Mental, social, and physical de- velopment are three-fourths of the well rounded individual, but even these are likely to get out of bal- ance without an understanding of and appreciation for the moral codes and practices prevalent in the social strata in which the leader is to operate. The classroom and the text book supply the mental. The extensive athletic program, both inter-col- legiate and intramural, offers phys- ical training and development to more than three-fourths of the students in the University. Frater- nity and University dances, dinners, and other social functions provide ample chance to polish off the cough edges and to become at least i moderately well rounded social individual. Moral development finds ts expression in the Purdue Reli- ;ious council, Y. W. C. A., and the aumerous city Sunday schools and churches. The student who is neglecting to make use of facilities offered at the University for four-fold develop- ment is failing to realize the most' 3ossible good from the time and. mHoney he is investing in an educa- "ion. Diversity of personal develop- ment is essential in coping with the :ver growing complexity of social and economic life.

Has it ever occurred to you that you are probably going to pay out a lot of hard-earned money to support the men you voted for last fall? This is an unwarranted reversal of the customary and pro- per proceedure. Ordinarily you vote and get paid, or you get voted for and pay, or, like me, you don't do either. In the stupendous Campus Graft ring, however, no such ethical principles hold sway. I shall ex- plain.... . About this time of year, when people are notoriously sappy and not to be trusted, rackets and con men flourish. Old- clothes men beseige your door- step. Clothing stores come out with last year's new spring models and tell you how they become your build, complexion, pocketbook or whatever you happen to have with you at the time. And, blazing gloriously - forth on the list of the sucker, comes the item of class dues. This is, perhaps, the most per- feet of all con games. From the old-clothes man you get about 25 cents for that old suit. From the haberdasher you get an impression that you look pretty smooth .... this lasts you most of the way home until you meet a fraternity brother. But from your class dues what do you get? . . . . Wrong! You don't even get Magnolia. If you happen to be gullible enough, they may be able to con- vince you that you can, after paying some trifling sum, graduate in the manner to which you have been accustomed. A moments conversa- tion with your favorite professor will soon dispell this illusion. They will tell you that you can be a member of the noble class of 19- and come back to their reunions- and get on the great University sucker list, a id get letters from the class secretry, or whoever does that stuff, inviting you to go to a flock of alumni doings which will cause you acute and undying pain, all- of which will lead you someday to return to one of your great class's reunions only to discover that all the gents you liked are either sick, dead, or members of another class which is meeting here three years hence. Take my advice and steer clear of the whole business. Perhaps, if enough people don't pay their class dues, we may get rid of class officers com- pletely, and I don't think there is a mind on campus perverse enough to argue against the virtues of such an eventuality. * * I remember the time I went and voted for a class officer . . . the poor fellow got elected and hasn't been heard from since. Died of shame, I guess. * * * ENQUIRING REPORTER'S DEPT. A young fellow has just written in saying that he saw a cross out in front of Newberry hall. His name is Gus and he says maybe it's there to mark the spot. He also says "phooey on the Pherret." * * ig Let me tell you right here and now, Gus, old fellow, that nobody has ever said "phooey to the Pherret" and lived. As a matter of fact, I don't know that anyone ever said it at all, but that doesn't affect the facts of the case. * * *a. And just to prove that he is still on the job, the Pherret has found something else that's , very nice. The roof is left off of' one of the entrances to a prom- inent campus building. Where is it? .* * * DAILY POEM Spring is coming, Spring is coming;f Soon again will come the Fall; i Fall will bring more mid-semesters; It's a fine world after all.

No attempt, it seems, was made to give a historical version of the production. The play was treated as universal romance, with type char- acters and a fanciful story flowing smoothly from one scene to an- other without interruption. In this interpretation, the most advanced methods of modern staging were employed, including two revolving stages and symbolic lighting on a setting of pure white. The unit set- ting, built by Donald Oenslager em- ployes a minimum of portable scenery. The stage was built into a series of levels, with revolving units upstage and downstage center adding variety to the playing areas. The upper revolving stage brought the setting to an apex with four classic shafts surmounted by a cornice. The entire setting and floor covering were pure white, and the picture was completed with a white satin cyclorama. Against this back- ground there was a constant pro- cession of changing color through the elaborate costuming, which was not intended to be in a historical period but designed very freely. An elaborate lighting plan height- ened the symbolism and also estab- lished continuity of scenes. Light- ng altered the setting at will, achieving the effect of a change of ocale without interrupting the story. Two special scaffolds had been built within the proscenium to accommodate extra lighting oper- ators and instruments during the production. The whole production was de- igned by members of the Yale F'aculty in Play Production and xecuted by students in thedepart- ment: all under the direction of George Pierce Baker, chairman of he department.

Even the minimum estimate rep- resents an almost staggering sum It is three-quarters of the present national debt and represents about sixteen per cent of the estimated total wealth of the nation. This means that in the course of seven or eight years the entire wealth of the United States, wealthiest of the world's nations today, is turned over through the channels of the gangster and his rackets. In obtaining this tremendous sum, the criminal has extended his field of action to almost every legit-' imate business. A well-known writer in a popular magazine estimates that there are at present more than' two hundred different and distinct rackets, many of them supporting central offices, clerical staffs,' and legal advisors and continuing un- der various innocently sounding names. By means which vary with the circumstances, they squeeze money out of almost all the busi- ness men in the large cities and are even extending their territory to the smaller and still untouched cities of the middle and far West which provide prosperous fields for the gangster potentate and his henchmen. For how long this condition will continue, is difficult to determine. The business man says little or nothing about his troubles either from personal fear or from a rather general feeling that police are in- adequate to cope with the recently developed menace. The time must come, however, when the situation will be reversed. Even the most down-trodden, docile citizen will revolt against such a continued . s K ,, . .r E Last week's action by Coach Matt Mann of the University swimming team once more prompts the ques- tion, "Does our red-blooded youth matriculate at the University to ittain mental or physical develop- ment?" Further, as it recalls the accusa- tions of Carnegie report 23, one might question Mr. Mann, to deter- mine if athletics are so powerful that their merits permit a student to leave school for a week stretch to compete in athletic contests, not even officially participated in by the University of Michigan? Michigan's aquatic varsity repre- zented the University .two weeks ago at the conference meet, and garnered a glorious crown for the heroic Wolverines. Not satisfied with their honors, three of the boys evi- dently resolved to snatch A. A. U. medals, and competed last week- end. Seemingly no outrage against scholastic endeavors was perpetrat- ed. Yet . . . one boy, a champion, :emained in Chicago the entire week between the two meets, and ,he other two left Ann Arbor in the1 niddle of the week for the Windy{ City to compete as unattached swimmers for the glory of the fins.
