SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 19 Union Haircuts The Union is still charging 45 cents for hair- cuts. Every other shop in town, is charging 35 cents. The Union, a student club, is a non- profit organization and exists solely for the students. Yet the Union will not meet the town rate. The Scholastic Honor-- A Brotherhood Of Grades F ONE WERE to make a list of all of the meaningless organizations on the campus, of which there are a truly depres- sing number, Phi Beta.Kappa would be the Abou Ben Adhem of them all-leading all'the rest. Phi Beta Kappa and its less known and conse- quently less meaningless colleagues, Phi Kappa Phi and Tau Beta Phi, are honorary scholastic fraternities whose one requisite for membership, regardless of rather vague claims concerning char- acter investigation of prospects is good grades. A person need have no other redeeming fea- tures. Thus, a member may call any college grad- uate"brother" who has happened to make a cer- tain number of hours of "A" and be right 99 times out of 100. In fact, it is almost impossible for a person to have good grades and not be a Phi Beta Kappa as it is for a person to be a Phi Beta Kappa and not have good grades. Now, then, if we can analyze the different types of persons who receive good grades, we can get an absolutely accurate cross-section of the mem- bership of the scholastic societies. The types are: (I) Good students who have an excellent knowledge of the subjects studied by them in the Uiversity. (2) Grinds, whose knowledge is purely memory work and who do not, and probably never will, quite understand what is really behind what they have learned. 3) Crammers, who study intensively before ex- aminations, memorize, write examination,s and forget. (4)Fakers, who are really only "B" students but are excellent bluffers and who know what pro- fessors like. 5) Cribbers. (6) Various combinations of the above classifi- (atns. This, then, is the roll call of the scholastics, as they are selected by the modern methods of high pressure and high production. Of course, many of the leading members of the faculty and administration are also "brothers," but it must be remembered that such men- won their laurels in earlier days, when educational discipline was rigid enough to make recognition mean something. Today, scholastic honors mean grades. And grades . . h oarded Gold And Sienister Sock . . , accept the -beating administered to their pride, and proceed to mend their ways by restoring the gold to circulation. Better late than never. itorial Comment SMOKING HARDLY MAKES IT A 'PIPE' COURSE Judging by the following report of an Oxford examination, most American students would con- sider their courses "pipe" courses: "First we all light our pipes and sit around awhile discussing the subject. Then we start to write and if we get stuck, we can always ask our neighbor. That is what is expected. You can't write a paper jnles you know the subject." Evidently the only point of similarity between an American examination and an English one is found in the last statement, knowledge is neces- sary before you can write. In every other partic- ular, however, we differ from our English cousins when being examined. The American system amounts virtually to a "put and take" system. Throughout the quarter or semester knowledge is put into the students and at examination time this knowledge is taken out. To speak of learning anything in an American examination is to speak of connivance and fraud. But generally speaking, it is as logical to expect a lawyer to prepare a case without the help of his brief books as it is to expect a student to Write an examination entirely from memory. Who ever heard of a doctor performing a major opera- tion without the aid of an X-ray? Or- who ever heard of an editorial writer without a book of facts at his elbow? Or a minister of the gospel without his Bible? -Milnesota Daily BYE-BYE, BLUE LAW . Anotherhstrict, disciplinary measure for aiding the church has been relegated to bygone days- this time Wisconsin's Sunday blue law. The state assembly voted 84 to 9 Thursday to remove it from the statutes where it has been doing little if any good because of lack of enforcement. The beauti- ful sense of religion has no place in the harsh, everyday working of politics, and vice versa. The church and the state have had nothing in com- mon since the days of the divine right of kings; religion should have no other attraction than its appeal to man's spirit; it should have no other restriction than its ethical doctrine. He who commits a moral sin in doing so only in the eyes of society and of God. If he has concern for his reputation among decent folks he will adapt his mode of living to fit their stand- ard, and that will become his religion. If he wishes to indulge in pleasure on Sunday he will find opinion divided on this ethical question. The scale, however, has swung decidely-in his favor in recent years. Few there who will condemn him, because the- so-called righteous- have come to regard the Sunday picnic or movie as just a part of the in- tention of the day of rest. Possibly our premise, that persons who seek pleasure on the Sabbath are not unrighteous is false. Certainly there are those who would con- demn their freer brethren as being heathens, atheists, or agnostics, but those are few and be- coming fewer and fewer as the years roll by. After all, if we are to restrict the blessings of religion to these few, the churches might just as well close its doors upon the common horde and become a self-privileged sect, leading a hermit-like life out of the general cultural stream. -Daily Illini. THE TIMES DEMAND ACTION In the past few weeks there has been a crash of detonating events in American life that have bee nifica nd alarming beyond anything that has appeared on our national or local scene for many years. A generation of American cit- izens born and bred upon the belief that the United States is an all-powerful and all-wealthy nation is today viewing crises and upheavals in American economics and finances that are threat ening to rock the complacency of the most pa triotic individuals and the solidarity of the most sound institutions of this far-famed, but appa- rently vulner able, nation. For several weeks financiers of American cit- izenship but of an un-American practices have so maneuvered world money affairs as to drain mil- lions of dollars of gold from their country every day, precipitating ia financial crisis that h a close I the nation's banks. For sevral months American people have grown increasingly concerned about the strength and the safety of their financial structures and have withdrawn other millions of dollars from weakening banks.
