NIGHT EDITOR: CLINTON B. CONGER To The Graduates... . T HAT POPULAR sport of advising graduating students is now being in- 4ulged in by editors from Maine to Walla Walla and back again. They are told of the great oppor- tunities that await them in the world, the social faults that they are expected to correct, the mess the older generation has made of civilization and are handed a million other warnings and predic- ions,. Riding this deluge of wisdom it is natural that C'e face the writing of such an editorial with hesi- tation. However, as America 'is surveyed there is one thing that stands out: until now we have been a nation constantly on the move, each succeeding generation has faced a new environment, not only socially, intellectually, morally and financially, but geographically as well. Up to the turn of the cen- tury there were new lands to conquer in every sense, frontiers were moving forward and crises were frequent. Now we are passing through another crisis, and out of this crisis is going to come a new America. An America more stable than the one our fore- fathers knew. Before this new America is reached prophets tell us many things will happen. Some preach revolution that will bring dictators, others shout of wild financial schemes that will make every- man his own Croesus and some simply shout. But a democracy that has weathered so many crises will not flounder in this one. The new America will be a democracy, but it will be much changed from the old America. No longer will there be new geographical frontiers, quick wealth in the stock market, or bosses' daugh- ters to marry on every corner. It will become in- creasingly difficult to move forward financially and socially. Tradition, that thing so lacking in the old Amer- ica, will someday be the heart of the new. The graduate of today should realize this and lay his plans accordingly. Today families and institutions that will be the new American culture are to be founded. Today's graduate faces a difficult task, life will not be as easy as it has been, but the rewards will be greater. The rewards will be in the form of se- dure which the kidnapers followed resembled in detail that which the sensational Lindbergh crime made the common knowledge of every criminal. This most recent crime may be blamed as much on some of America's sensational newspapers as on the criminals who perpetrated it. They have given a course in crime more complete than any which could be found in the underworld, and they have done so brazenly. Too much blame for this crime must not be placed on the newspapers, however, for only men of the most vicious character would attempt a crime of this sort after seeing the fate of the other kidnapers. Only men of a blind, twisted nature would refuse to recognize the menace of the gov- ernment agents, the "G" men, now glorified, and justly so, by the movies. These trained students of crime leave no loophole unguarded, and show no mercy towards the criminals, whom they hunt down with the aid of modern science. Crime can no longer be a profitable career if the newspapers of America cooperate with the Federal and state agents in its suppression and punishment. The SOAP BOX Letters published in this column should not be -construed as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily. Anonymous contributions will be disregarded. The names of communicants will, however, be regarded as confidential upon request. Contributors are asked to be brief, the editor reserving the right to condense all letters of over 300 words and to accept or reject letters upon the criteria of general editorial importance and interest to the campus. Tou.>che To the Editor: Although your venerable correspondent, Cor- nell, '07, is very fond of seeing people "mind their own business," this humble reader cannot resist the temptation to call attention to the possibly unique significance of a communication from one "who once heard Jenny Lind sing . . . a most beautiful adaptation of one of the arias from La Gioconda ... one of the most beautiful vocal renditions of all time." As Jenny Lind last sang in the United States in 1852, 83 years ago, and made her final public appearance in Dusseldorf, Germany in 1870, 65 years ago, your correspondent must speak out of a richness of musical experience not to be matched in this community, if indeed in the world. Incidentally, La Gioconda was produced in 1876. -Veritas, Mich., '02. [OOthers'See It They Already Know (From the Des Moines Tribune) "UNEXCITING - old stuff --pretty dull" - this was the composite report of a group of Mis- souri college girls, none of whom had ever before been in New York City, when they were taken on an educational tour of the metropolis not long ago. It rather irked New York - though the explan- ation is merely that the girls had already famil- iarized themselves with the city through news- paper and magazine reading and attendance at the movies. And New York, it appears, is now "getting back at" the country by being frankly bored with a min- iature farm exhibit, complete with cows, horses, and other barnyard detiizens, which is making the rounds of the city by truck. The slum children had already seen all those things at the neighborhood cinemas. And this, it seems to us, is quite to the good. There is little sense in preserving the old division of humanity into two sharply separated groups - the city slickers and the country bumpkins. The more the city knows of the country and the country of the city, the better it is going to be for all of us. English Paves The Way (From the California Daily Bruin) THE FACT that a knowledge of the English lan- guage from the standpoint of speech, vocab- ulary, and manner of presentation is a prime requisite for job seekers was proved by a ques- tionnaire taken among 134 transient boys in the state of California. The increasing number of these wandering youths has been an urgent problem among edu- cational heads, and it was claimedpthat theboys should receive instruction of a, practical value, although the exact nature of the subjects was un- decided. In response to the question, the lads first wished to be well versed in English and second, in pen- manship. Although these figures reveal strange facts, the voters pointed out that in a knowledge of rhetoric principles of the language lay the key to positions for which they might apply in later life. Thus it seems evident that in a school such as Piedmont High where extra curricular courses in English language are offered as well as required fundamental ones, it would benefit students who will no doubt at some time come in contact with the business world, to take advantage of these op- portunities and profit by the lives of these wander- ing boys who reap no such benefits. Shall We Cut (From the Ohio State Lantern) N THE SPRING, it is said, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of cutting class and going somewhere to enjoy the beauties of nature. Again the old problem arises, should class at- tendance be compulsory? For freshmen, required attendance is probably desirable. The first year is the time when students lay the groundwork, in study methods and time distribution, for their whole college career. It seems a bit different, however, to require those COL LEG ATE OBSERVER By BUD BERNARD The legislature and the campus officials of a well- known university have been putting much pres- sure upon the students. Hence, this statement: Five. weeks and two days ago, our fathers brought forth upon this campus a new ruling, concdfived in misunderstanding and dedicated to the proposition that all students are chumps. Now we are engaged in a great struggle testing whether you or any other student under such a. rule and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on this great campus for more than one reason. We have come to protest that ruling, in behalf of those who are here and that they may live in happiness. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this. But in a clearer sense they can aggravate - they can dissipate -but we cannot concen- trate. The alumni, employed and unemployed, have made rules far above our power to add to or to detract. The administration will little note nor long remember what we say here, but they can never forgt what we did here. It is for us, the ignorant, that this rule was made, and we here highly resolve that this campus should have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the students, by the board of regents, for the legislature shall not perish from the campus. FAREWELL More variations on the age old theme, we sus- pect, but nevertheless you shall have them, we are going to bid this space a fond farewell until next semester. At the close of this semester, we have several ideas (at least we call them ideas) which demand expression and which arise within our garrulous soul and are not to be denied. First of all to my six readers, who flattered me by reading my column day by day, we offer many thanks, yea, even profuse thanks. Always appre- ciative of comments and contributions, favorable or otherwise, we acknowledge those made during this last year, and to B.B.L. especially for his nu- merous squibs. Next, a word to my fellow columnists. We have had much fun and sorrow with this daily bit, and hope you gents have had the same, as we gaily swiped and exchanged stories. The origin of some of those stories, which have made the rounds dur- ing the last couple of months has often given this column great cause for wonder, with the vicious cycle from campus to campus being such as it is. In other words, we don't see how any new ma- terial is ever evolved out of this racket, what with everyone borrowing (in the politer sense) from the other's column. And so we have reached the end of this year. Some columns were fairly good; others, we admit, were plenty bad, but we hope we have pleased you as much as we have enjoyed turning out this column. So until next seiester, Farewell. Washington Off The Record By SIGRID ARNE WASHINGTON, June 1. THE TROYANOVSKY'S, representatives here of the U.S.S.R., have forged ahead until they are outstanding social leaders in Washington. But the hundreds who attend their receptions naturally tax their memories when it comes to names. Mrs. Troyanovsky shows an uncanny abil- ity for them. She has a system. Each time she meets a new person she surreptitiously traces the name in the air with her index finger. The new Supreme Court building is so nearly completed that one of the associate justices was showing a friend through its sumptuous court room bordered with towering pink marble columns. The justice gazed upward for a minute and then said: "When we put on our robes and march through here we are going to look like little, black cockroaches in the Temple of Karnak." JAWRENCE W. ROBERT, assistant secretary of the treasury, attended the circus and en- countered Evelyn Walker, one of Washington's beautiful women. "I want a chameleon for my lapel," she an- nounced. Turning to a nearby snake-charmer, Robert said: "Give the lady a nice big snake." Solemnly the snake-charmer handed her a healthy python with his head whapped in muslin. "Has he a tooth-ache?" queried Miss Walker, as she bravely handled the writhing coils. "No," said the charmer drily, "he just bites." Social secretaries must depend on three little marks which appear on Washington social lists when they make out invitations. The marks appear before an official's name; one indicates he is accompanied by his wife; an- other, by his daughter; and a third, by "other ladies," such as aunts, mothers and nieces. The invitations are sent to include the family indicated. POLISH AMBASSADOR PATEK was embar- rassed. As his dinner guests began looking for their place-cards, he discovered there was one too many guests. He didn't remember inviting one of the ladies.
