LAANSMA "The whole foundation on which our existence rests is the present-the ever fleeting pres- ent. It lies, then, in the very nature of our existence to take the form of constant motion, and to offer no possibility of our ever attaining the rest for which we are always striving. We are like a man runningI downhill, who cannot keep his legs unless he runs on, and will Inevitably fall if he stops; or, again, like a pole balanced on the tip of ones' finger; or like a planet, which would fall into its sun the moment it ceased to hurry forward on its way. Un- rest is the mark of existence." 1 ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER. TE SILENT SCIENTIST When any discovery is made in sci- #A", or me4cine, the newspapers are AlWays interested. Stories of new in- vsgtions and latest developments in sVI4ti4 reasearch always have a igh news interest value, and when Wind of some discovery reaches the of- Ace of a daily paper the opinions of competent men are naturally solicit- ed. But here the reporter often finds himself i a quandary because of the almost invariable attitude of the spe- claliot. 'ewspaper science" is always rid- Iculed by the specialist. To the doc- tors and men of science, reports of matters scientific in the daily press are. "absurd," or "untenable" or "in- coipreiiensible." The general atti- tude of the savant is that the language 9% science is comprehensible only to. t.- initiate, and that any attempt at acurate and comprehensible ac- cuuts, of scientific news in the daily press: is useless . Accordingly, when the reporter ap- P bciws the scientist for "dope' on some new deyelopment, the interview in most cases (there are exceptions, of course) is either refused or else tha laguage of the learned gentlemen is couched in the longest and most diffuilt terminology. The result is that even an intelligent and literate Jourjaliat often produces a somewhat garbled. account 'of a science story. The silont and contemptuous scientist will, however, always insist that the laveuracy or exaggeration of "news- paper science" is wholly the fault of the reporter. A kindlier attitude to those who are always seeking to bring the latest hope that science offers to an. gager public would undoubtedly produce better and more accurate re- ...salts. CAMPUS GUXDNS This is the kind of weather that in-r duces wanderlust and hundreds of tourists crank up the old car and fol- low the call of the open roads. In' other words, it is touring time and many strangers pass through Ann Ar- bor daily. The fame of the Universi-l ty, naturally enough, makes theml pause in their journey and spend al few hours looking over places of in- terest. However, it is no easy matter for a total stranger to "go the rounds" and take away with him a pleasing and comprehensive glimpse of the Un- iversity. It is in this situation that the "campus guides" fill a much needed want. In many schools an organized system of campus guides has been instituted and strangers are placed under a guide for a complete tour of the school grounds. It hardly seems necessary for this school to organ- ize campus guides. A far more simple plan is to have every man and wom- an attending the University capable of being an authoritive and interesting guide. The only requirement is a knowledge of buildings, their func- tions and theories, and a goodly meas- ure of hospitality. THE GRAYEST PROBLEM OF TE DAY The passage of an immigration bill by Congress is always an important matter, fraught withygrave dangers of international complications. For when a bill is passed which alters the very fundamentals on which our immigration policy has been hitherto founded, as does the new Johnson Immigration bill, the importance of it is measured not only in its effect upon our own country but in its effect upon the world. Whether it is best to re- strict immigration at this time, whether it is best to restrict immigra- tion from certain countries only and to encourage it from others, all of these questions should be given intel- ligent consideration. The new bill , which is so construct- ed as to restrict the influx of mem- bers of the south European and east- ern Asiatic peoples and to encourage the immigration of the Nordic or North European races, and which virtually prohibits the entrance into our coun- try of members of the Eastern Asiatic races, is perhaps the boldest step which the United States has yet tak- en to dictate the racial characteris- tics of future American citizens. For centuries, the migration of peo- ples into the western, and less popu- lated portions of the world has been the safety valve of the overpeopled areas of Europe. In the years pre- ceding the war, this annual migration had amounted to more than 1,000,000 annually entering this country. To- day, the doors of the United States are closed to much of this immigra- tion, as are the doors of most of the other countries of the world. What to do with this surplus popu- lation is today one of the most press- ing questions facing statesmen. With the doors of practically all the world closed to them, the nations of the east face thealternative either of pursuing an active policy of industri- alization in order to absorb in the towns what can be no longer main- tained on the land, or of migrating to South America or Africa, where there are possibilities of close restriction even now. Certainly these problems, affecting as they do and must, the economic, social, and even the biologic founda- tions of the world are the most press- ing which seek for solution today They are world wide in their scope and must be handled only by inter- national action. It is fortunate that the nations of the world are fast be- coming conscious of the fact that over nationalism, not only does not solve their own problems but will lead them into serious complications. With a growing sentiment in favor of international oneness, nations may sometime be brought to consider what remedy of the problem will benefit not themselves alone, but also the pro- gress of humanity. If we could see ourselves as oth- ers see us we would all be anarchists. We call that man selfish who does what we only dream of doing. CAMPUS OPINION To the Editor: A small college man remarked to me the other day that he was amazed' to see the freedom with which stu- dents, faculty, and officials of the University flirt with my lady nicotine in the halls and corridors of the var- ious buildings. Personally, I have seen very little of this illicit solacing,1 and it is doubtless a small matter. Why should we curb our desires be-l cause of the whims of a few non-us-1 ers? C. C. M. To the Editor: Despite his -thirty-three volumes, John Davidson is by no means well known to the general public. Mightx I therefore suggest to those who pro-C pose to hear me on Friday that ita -i- would be of material assistance to them and no less to me-were they to procure and read the little book 'of selections from Davidson's poetry published recently in the Modern Li- brary Series. R. M. WENLEY. ! ' .i Text Books and Supplies i. y I GRAHAM'S Both Stores LAWLESS AM ERICA t Americans are called the most law- less of civilized people. One editorial writer explains how America came by this reputation as follows: "First we make a law, then we break it. But possibly before we break it, certainly soon after, we at- tempt to prove it unconstitutional." There is truth in these charges. Our legislators make laws with sur- prising ease and versatility. The peo- ple then proceed to break them with equal ease and even greater versatil- ity. Having broken a law, we try to escape punishment in court by having recourse to other laws and to the well known delays with which legal pro- cedure is invested. We go from court to court in an attempt to justify the law-breaking. Finally we try to repeal the law. If we succeed, well and good. If not, we just forget it, and it becomes what is known as a dead-letter law. In the meantime we have made many thousands of new laws which are tak- ing the same course from birth to death. There's one born every minute but they all die young. Why then are Americans called the most lawless of civilized people? We have more laws than all the rest of them put together. GOOD READING IN ADVERTISE- MENTS Readers seldom take the time or trouble to peruse the contents of long advertisements and, as a general rule, they are seldom worth while. There is however an occasional exception, and the following is one: "Perhaps sometime, somewhere, somebody has killed two birds with one stone. If anybody, anywhere, at any time ever killed two birds with one stone he accomplished this feat because he was lucky-not because he was cle'ver or scientific. If anybody ever planned and attempted to kill two birds with one stone we venture the guess that one bird survived. To kill two birds requires two stones- perhaps more-not less. To kill two birds, one stone must be directed at each." The advice is sound. Many men are going around seeking to kill two birds with a single stone and wondering why the stones are always wasted. Laugh And Learn From Blackboards Avast there! And laugh. For the signs on campus blackboards are not unqualifiedly for your consumption. If events of possible international im- portance are calamitously foreshad- owed, never beware. Smile, and keep smiling. Every student, as he makes his rounds between campus bench and drowsy classroom, finds a few bits of information to wake him up, They are distributed about in University buildings in the least decipherable of hieroglyphics, and they serve count- less thirsters after knowledge with material for speculation during thej first and last seven minutes of every hour. There is, of course, the announce- ment of the professor who is moving his course to another room. And that is accomplished in various ways. "Two o'clock class in room 307" is no longer considered new, so we note that it will meet there "by one flight up." For further information on air- plane transfers, study the engineering blackboards. Or, to get the same ef- fect, go to "Earthquakes in room 234 this afternoon at 3." An index expurgatorius is accom- panied by "I can as well be hanged as tell you the name of it" in one room, and the names of the presidents of China reach an appropriately climatic ending in an imperial looking title that defies translation. Little grains of knowledge can usu- ally be found in Mason Hall, where millionths of once whole numbers chase equal signs up and down the walls. Diagrams of what no one has 'I _ Read The Dai ly"Classified" Columns i ever seen multiply rapidly in science classrooms. The abbreviated diction- aries of entire dead languages are still dying for your attention. Take your choice. And, as some- one famous has doubtless scribbled it, don't let the lecture interfere with your college education.
