Perhaps every student has already seen the painted

How to Land a Place
On The Kernel Staff

In last week's issue of the Saturday Evening Post,
Dean Christian Gauss, of Princeton University tenders
his fluent pen to that publication, and in an article
rather ironically entitled, "Treat Us Like Men," discusses with the utmost fairness such pertinent questions
of college life as how many "cuts" a man needs and how
much control the student body should exercise in the
administration of our educational institutions.
The dean is of the opinion that the college youth
is not entitled to the privilege of being treated like
men jus yet and supports his view in a thoroughly convincing manner.
In regard to this matter of "cuts" the dean gives
the students' side as expressed in an editorial in a
The .dean quotes the editorial in
student publication.
part as follows:
"We are fully convinced that it is an obligation that
an intelligent man owes to himself to 'cut as often
as seems necessary for the enjoyment of a course, the
lectures of an uninspired and uninspiring professor.
An overcut slip does not always indicate the shirker; it
may reveal a student's attempt to save a subject from
its professor."
Now the dean admits that this argument is reasonable and furthermore that there is a great deal of
truth in it. But he goes on to show that the experiment
tri:d in one of the universities proved unsuccessful.
It was found by that university that the "cuts" of
the students did not distinguish an uninspired and unRather it
inspiring professor from" an inspiring one.
was found that only those classes coming it inconvenient hours suffered the most from "cuts."
In regard to administration by students Dean Gauss
writes:
form of
"The demand for a more
undergraduate government is, on the whole, a good
sign and should be welcomed.
In many cases, however,
the demand, "Treat us like men," is not really a request
for self government.
It is merely the latest form of
protest on the part of young men who do not wish to
be governed at all. Unlike our radicals, they have no
thought of governing themselves.
This is especially
true of underclassmen."
In respect to this, however, Dean Gauss believes
that the collegian of today shows a higher degree of
years ago.
responsibility than was shown twenty-fiv- e
This problem of administration is indeed a highly'
complicated one, but student bodies here and everywhere
are beginning to think more seriously on this question.
This suggests its solution may not be far( off. Meanwhile The Kernel is inclined to agree with Dean Gauss;
we have not yet reached that stage where we can be
treated like men. It is significant to note also, in this
respect, that we have not elected to be treated like men.
The Kernel would point out, that on the whole, we have
been deplorably childish, hut would add that there is a
great deal to be hopeful for.
Freedom, it seems, is granted only to those who
deserve it. To cite an instance, Harvard in regard to
this matter of "cuts" has felt justified in granting unlimited "cuts" to those students who have satisfactory
standings.
It all depends on the student body. To gain liberty
one must fight with respectable weapons.
We have
not as yet employed respectableweapons, and until we
do, things will remain as they are.

1. Boldly assail the doors of the
Kernel office.
2. Look under all newspapers for
editors, they can be found.
3. After finding an editor count
three and say, "I want to be a reporter on the Kernel."
4. And now, if you are still alive,
hold your ground, but don't argue.
5. If the editor refuses your request try a different corner of the
room, excavate another editor from a
newspaper and begin again.
6. Never under any circumstances
attempt to put the office in order to
create a good impression. "It is not

done."

If your second interview is a
failure try once more.
8. However, if your third attempt
is a failure back out of the presence
of these august personages as gracefully as possible, avoiding tables,
chairs, typewriters and cat.
9. Should the interview be successful, and you are made a reporter on
the worthy publication don't forget
humility is the essential of your new
profession.
Ed. Note: No. 9 is not in keeping
with gen.ral practice. It should be:
"Be very active until your name ap
pears on masthead. Afterward you
need not return to the office until
commencement
day, when you can
congratulate the editors on their
graduation."

New Orleans last September 28, Miss
Balmaze arrived in Columbus last

night.
"I don't know," she replied, when
asked how and why she started on
this tour. "I just started out and
kept going. It is a wonderful adven

s
dream. I have visited the state
of Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. I have met the governors of each state and have letters
of recognition from them."
When asked if she would keep
these, she said, "Oh, no, when I complete my tour my collection of hiking
togs and letters, together with my
diary, I am going to give to the National Museum at Washington. But I
want to keep the belt Gene Tunney
gave me."
"Are you interested in athletics?"
Miss Balmaze rolled up her sleeve
and exhibited her muscle. "Doesn't
that look like it? Yes, I was just
thrilled to pieces when I met Red
Grange and his brother."

AIN'T LOVE GRAND?

It was his regular night to have a date with her.
Some how these nights had come to stand out as the
beginning and end of the week.
There was no doubt
that he liked her . . . she was so, so well, fine.
"Agnes," he murmured close to her ear (behind
which she had only a half hour ago dabbed a little perfume) "Agnes," he said again, apparently steeling
himself for an ordeal.
"Yes?" she encouraged him softly, leaning ever so
gently toward him.
"I I I've got to ask you something," he stammered." (Oh, the ecstasy of this moment and Agnes
lowered her thick eyelashes.)

I walk with other men and seem to use
Words that are phrased as is their common speech,
And from their changing customs seem to choose
Such form of living as their new modes teach.
I mock no habits and give no abuse
To the wan superstitions that they preach
On .certain
days in Caesar's calendar.
