KLEENE Trends In Tunitions .. THE UNITED STATES Office of Edu- cation, burrowing into archives both musty and rather recent, has come up with some facts and figures that are worth considering even if no moral is to be drawn from them. Schools throughout the country are doing their utmost, the bureau found, to aid worthy students, who, as victims of. the depression, might be forced to leave college on account of lack of funds. More, than 14,000 have been enabled to continue their educations through deferred tuitions. In 111 insti- tutions, scholarships and loan funds to the amount of more than $31,500,000 are available this year. Men's barracks furnished with army cots are reported as being provided in a number of places to reduce the cost of living. More than one school in an agricultural state has continued to accept farm products in payment of tuition. In order to determine whether college tuitions have generally been raised or lowered in the past five years, the bureau conducted a survey of private colleges which showed that 125 of them have fees on an average of $62 lower, while 100 have fees averaging $49 higher. For the group as a whole, consequently, the decreases were greater in number and in average size than the increases. The recent trend has not been sufficiently strong to change the general fact that college tuitions are much higher today than they were 20 years ago. Private schools which in 1913 were getting a rate somewhat higher than the publicly-controlled in- stitutions ask today have multiplied their fees by two or three times in the last two decades. The 25 colleges and universities charging the highest rates, with the exception of three technical institutes, range from $400 to $500 a year. Women's colleges maintain the highest fees. A further look at tuition figures indicates that in publicly-controlled schools resident students pay an average of $79 a year and non-residents $128. These sums, besides providing a startling con- trast with those of private schools, indicate what may be a contributing factor to Michigan's pop- ularity with out-state students. State men students here, paying $100 a year, are assessed at a considerably higher rate than aver- age resident students elsewhere. Out-state men students enrolling in the University pay a fee of $124 a year, somewhat lower than the nation's average. The figure should probably be even more Book Trust InAction.. TO- THE PROVERBIAL college pro- fessor belongs the doubtful reputa- tion of having inflicted at least one textbook on his classes and colleagues, and he is usually sus- pected as well of plotting to issue a new edition every school year. By no other means has the New Deal done more to show its "brain trust" flavor than in the way it has gone literary. President Roosevelt set the example with "Look- ing Forward" and "On Our Way." Not to be out- done, Mrs. Roosevelt took time from visits to coal mines and subsistence homesteads to get off her chest the message that "It's Up to the Women." Their daughter, Mrs. Dall, became the proud author of a work in lighter vein called "Scamper: The Bunny Who Went to the White House." These were the signals for other members of the administration to put their typewriters to work. Dr. Tugwell, with "The Industrial Discipline and Governmental Arts" already to his credit, turned out "Our Economic Society and its Problems." Mr. Ickes countered with "The New Democracy," and Miss Perkins came back hard with "People at Work." The triad of Henry Wallace, however, won the batting honors of the day. They were: "Amer- ica Must Choose," "Statesmanship and Religion," and "New Frontiers." The failure of Donald Richberg to do a book caused his publishers to dig up a novel called "A Man of Purpose" of which he had relieved him- self in 1922. The hero of the book being a lawyer who erred and finished up in jail, Mr. Richberg complained recently that, publishers being what they are, the book would certainly be presented as an autobiography. But speaking of autobiographies, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch' had reason to feel'last week that the one now being scribbled by Hugh Johnson will be, to, put it mildly, full of sulphur, brimstone, and sudden death. I SAs Other SeeI / Troy Can Take Defeat TROY REMEMBERS how to take defeat. That group of 1,500 students who stood in the stands on the north side of the coliseum Sat- urday afternoon and sang "Alma Mater" after a fighting team had been unable to score against a three-touchdown lead proved to themselves and to 6.0,000 spectators that Southern California can take an upset gracefully. Trojans are beginning to realize that their foot- ball squad and their coach are not super-human. S. C. cannot expect to be the biggest team west of the Rockies forever. S. C. was not alone Saturday - gridiron crowns all over the nation toppled under a terrific onslaught from untouted teams which were I"pointing" for the infallibles. Mighty Michigan took a trouncing from Michigan State, California was surprised by St. Mary's, Notre Dame's come-back was halted by .little Texas. Tomorrow night, Troy's team boards the special train for Pittsburgh, one of the strongest in the East. Twice the Panthers have journeyed to Pasa- dena on New Year's day only to be smartly crushed by Southern California teams. Every member of the student body who is really interested in seeing his team win that game on an eastern field should be at the train tomorrow to demonstrate the fact to a somewhat disheartened team. Washington State's brilliant victory over S. C. may not be the only defeat which Troy will have to take this year. There may be another - there may be two or three - but the student body and alumni cannot expect the impossible from the team or from Coach Jones. It is gratifying to know that after last Saturday that Trojan rooters are supporting their team every yard of the way as the old saying goes -"win, lose or draw." During the long chain of victories, only finally broken last year by Stanford, school spirit was rather listless because Trojans were tired of seeing their teams tear opposing squads in pieces in re- peated drives to the goal line. Now with Washing- ton State behind, football will be intere'sting again. .-The Southern California Daily Trojan. Goose-Step Colleges OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY'S refusal to exempt its students from military drill on the grounds of religious and .conscientious objection is out of tune with the traditions of the state and nation. The new ruling is even more drastic than the recent action of President George Rightmire of that institution in dismissing seven students for refusing to drill. Among most American colleges, there is more recognition of the "laws of conscience" as valid statutes. In the last 10 years, according to the Na- tional Council for the Prevention of War, 65 insti- tutions dropped military training and 14 made it elective. This question has reached the United States Su- preme Court in a test suit brought by two Univer- sity of California students to settle whether Fed- eral land grant colleges have the right under the 1862 Morrill Act to impose compulsory drill. It is recalled that former Attorney-General Mitchell ruled that rand grant colleges comply with the act if they simply offer courses in military training withoutcompelling drill. America is at peace, and Americans are anti- militarists. Why, then, should colleges, supposedly our centers of enlightenment, ape the Old World dictatorships and pipe unwilling students to the drill grounds? -The Cleveland Press. COLLEGIATE OBSERVER By BUD BERNARD M.N.L. sends in this poem entitled: TO DARWIN AND A KAPPA I am told that little frogs Are made from tadpoles That a butterfly was once A mere cocoon; That a lonely little anioeba Can arrange to have a Sheba Anytime he care to Split himself in twoon. Well, before believing Anything so ga-ga A fellow really ought To go and see: 'Though something's queer about it I have no cause to doubt it Since a Kappa made A monkey out of me Men at Earlham College get a real break. Fresh- men co-eds are required to go without any makeup for two months. The men get a chance to see what the girls really look like at that time. A student at Hanover College calls his A.O. Pi friend "Liberty belle" because, he says, she is a little cracked. The prize for the reddest face goes to the Cen- tral Normal College co-ed, who, while dancing with a young man at a college mixer inquired: "Who is that homely looking bird standing over there by the door?" To her surprise her partner replied: "Why that is my brother." "Pardon me," blurted out the co-ed in confu- sion, I hadn't noticed the resemblance." , * * 'i * At the University of Missouri students taking a history exam were asked to state briefly the Monroe Doctrine. The prize for conciseness went to him who answered "Scram Foreign- ers." Here is the time budget for the students of Harvard University as recommended by President Eliot in 1904: Study 10 hours; sleep 8 hours; meals and social duties 4 hours; and exercise 2 hours. Although this isn't a poetry corner we are printing this poem by B.B.L. dedicated to the c-eds of Michigan: Your eyes implore me to adore Your ears want more of my outpour; Your hair's perfumed just to entrance When swaying rhythms call romance; But when we go to take a walk Must you talk and talk and talk? A Washington BYSTANDER By KIRKE SIMPSON R. JESSE JONES, who sits lightly on the lid of Uncle Sam's recovery war chest - the Recon- struction Finance Corporation - had a unique message to deliver in these parlous economic times. When most public officials, Federal, state; county, and city, are worrying themselves sick over how to get government debtors to pay their bills, Mr. Jones is troubled because RFC borrowers are repaying too fast. ."Take your time, boys; take your time," is the burden of his plea. "Take five years from the end of next January if you like. Keep the money in cir- culation." Specifically, Chairman Jones said: "We must get away from the idea of trying to pay back borrowed money in 90 days." rTO RFC FIELD AGENTS he sent emphatic in- structions for "leniency" with borrowers and authority for the five-year repayment idea where no impairment of security was involved, coupled with this policy expression: "We (the RFC directorate) wish to be as helpful as possible to our borrowers in meeting their obliga- tions of citizenship as well as to pay their debts to the corporation." Now, just why did the RFC high command hit on a five-year term? Perhaps there is no special significance about that period, yet it happens to coincide with ideas about the probable length of time it may take some industrial elements to get up to former business peaks that "New Deal" offi- cials are hearing at first hand- from the big indus- trialists these days. For all the shouting about "timidity" of inves- tors due to business fears of "New Deal" leftward trends, there are much more practical reasons be- hind slowness with which certain important indus- tries are responding to the recovery impetus that business spokesmen who come to Washington pour into official ears. The fear of "New Deal" trends may be there; but it isn't spoken of in these con- ferences. T HE FIGURES on repayment of RFC loans since July are remarkable. The repayments were close to $150,000,000 greater than the outflow of new loans as compared to a $125,000,000 net in the opposite direction a year ago. If that were an exact reflection of recovery progress, it would be a thrill- ing achievement for the "New Deal." It would be far ahead of schedule.
