THE REAL IDEA OF COLLEGE
Flow many in the outside world know university life as it really is?
ie were to get his idea of college alone from stories, or more particu-
y from the motion picture, how near the actual truth would it be?
The moving picture college always has a beautiful campus, through
h beautifully dressed girls walk with faultlessly dressed men -- the
r usually in white trousers, dark coats, and straw hats. A college man's
, in a picture, is beautifully furnished, with pennants from every other
ge around the walls, and quantities of sofa pillows strewn about in
tio carelessness.
The short story college is exactly the same. It is a place full of ro-
ce, where young people come to have a good time, sing their college
s, accompanied by the mandolin - was there ever a college hero in a'
t story who could not play the mandolin? - and who generally enjoy
iselves and have many reminiscences to talk over in their later days.
'here is no doubt that this view of university life is widely held, and
e is equally no doubt that it does a great deal of harm. Parents think
four years of college, such as they see, is a waste of time. It is per-
all right for a rich man's son or daughter, who can afford to have a
time, but for people who have their own way to make in the world,
that as soon as possible, it would not do. They do not understand, nor
ever explained to them in plausible form, that university training will
their children in their life work, that more than anything else it will
them a foundation and background for their future calling.
Why does not some author write of college life as it really is? Why do
the motion picture directors, who are usually so particular as to their
ils, give a picture of the serious, the real side of college? Has a lecture
s, a laboratory, a library scene, or any other scene that shows the stu-
at his work, ever been reproduced on the screen?
rhinking people have come to regard the college-trained student as the
est type of citizen. Fiction writers and play producers can do much to
ter the cause of the university by showing their public the real idea of
ge.-The Michigan Daily.

On the Other Hand-
Why Editors Leave Home
The Wolverine offers for the amuse-
ment (?) of its readers the following
bit of rhetorical brilliancy submitted
by some aspiring literrateur. Which
all leads us to remark that a course
in press-agenting might not be a bad
thing.
FEATURE DE LUXE PROMISED

Return to Local

ferings is the scheduled return to the

left in his University wake a
reputation as one of the most original
librettists of all Union operas, and
since his entry into the field of pro-
fessional song writing has added
numerous popular compositions to his
already brilliant menu. Among the
most recent of his lyrical confections
is "When It's Onion Time in Bermu-
da," which is now being sung by
Nora Bayes, Al Jolson, Henry Lewis,
and Eddie Cantor has prom-
ised to offer this delicacy along with
others of his own craft, and
will weave his sauternertenor among
th~e lyrics. Those who recall
vocalization of "That's Why They
Call Me State Street Pete," joyfully
anticipate the promised revival of'
this syncopated slumgullion, while
those who have never had the oppor-
tunity of lending a wistful ear to__
and in salvo have a melodious
morsel awaiting them.

CRITTENDEN TELLS
OF OLD ATHLETICS
Description of the various sports of
the ancient world, acconpanied by
slides illustrating the games, com-
prised the main part of Prof. A. R.
Crittenden's lecture "Ancient Athletic
Sports and Festivals" given yester-
day afternoon in Natural Science
auditorium.
Professor Crittenden told of the
principal events-which were running,
throwing the discus and javelin,
wrestling, and boxing. According to
Professor Crittenden, these sports
were universal at first, almost every
one participating in the athletics.
Professor Crittenden said that the
gaimes later became professional be-
cause of the great rewards and praise
which were received by the winners.
Brawn and might were developed and
the universal training was abandoned.
Time changed things so that the win-
ner was no longer content with the
laurel wreaths which were the prizes
of the first games.
The games and festivals probably
originated as religious rites around
the tombs of heroes, but they soon de-
veloped into universal pastimes, said
Professor Crittenden.

COURTESY VERSUS SPEED
"You have a rather tiresome job, - being pleasant to everybody," said
man to the girl who sits behind the information desk awaiting the long
s that press eagerly toward her for instruction. They are monotonously
inuing .lines.
Her smile was reassuring as she answered, "I'm sure you deserve only
kind of treatment." And to this stray individual she stood as a paragon
ourteous efficiency.
When the modern world is convulsed with the application of energy to
d; when countless statisticians are employed by gigantic corporations
scertain how fast the average man can work without lessening his pro-
ive power; when efficiency is being measured in terms of "how slow"
how fast," what part has courtesy in our civilization?
We, cannot shift our world back to the days of chivalry. Knights-
nt and ladies walk no more, while the doffed plume and the veiled face
gone forever. Yet, after all, that was only formal courtesy. Courtesy
thrives although often uncultivated.
How far does courtesy go toward increasing a man's ability to perform,?
ourtesy a quality that tends toward efficiency? The answer is unmis-
bly yes. The most successful people are selfless people. Against the
vds of humanity that clamor for consideration - and special considera-
-the great man stands undaunted with a surplus of good humor. The
ory where employees are most courteous is usually one of the most
lent plants that can be found. Courtesy creates a mental condition
:h tends, at least, toward success.
Courtesy takes time, but a very little time. Could not enough speed
sacrificed to permit courtesy everywhere? That was the individual's
