THK SCHOOL AND POLITICS
Political spirit at the present time
on our campus is running rampant
between the followers of the two
parties that have nominated candi-
dates for the 1928 Yucca editorships.
In the loud blare and intensity of
the campaigning the most significant
iaaue ia hardly being mentioned at
all. That issue is the selection of the
beat fitted candidates rather than
the election of individuals on account
of their pleasing personalities and
their party affiliations.
One wonders on the face of things
just why the literary societies should
attempt to select an annual editor,
anyway, but tradition, we reckon, is
tradition. We imagine that Birdie
Brenholtz could give the candidates
that are running with the idea of get-
ting personal glory out of their elec-
tion a rather terse, discouraging ac-
count of long weary hours of drugery
when it would seem impossible to get
copy turned In. This is rarely con-
in an election, however. Each
house of this city. Several murder
trials have been held It is customary
for a number of the men students,
especially the debaters, to attend
these trials and get some Insight Into
the political life which will soon be
theirs to make and run.
But for number of women students
to turn out to these trials in order
to see what it is all about is a new
thing. It is even so new that board-
ing hous«- ladies are becoming alarm-
ed because so many of their "lady-
like" young women are attending
court.
But why in the name of >xa«wi
and common en hp do the same
students waste their time, e'fortu
and money in avoiding doing the
work that is supposed to be done
in a university? Ther: are hund-
reds of easier and more praitu
able ways of avoiding doing
work.
- The Simmons Brand
That really Is a «|uestion that con
fronts serious-minded students
love their College and hate to see so
many doing the "get-by" stunt and
not appreciating any of the oppor
tHftities offered. It can not be called
human nature, that desire to get out
of as much work as possible and yet
get credit for it, but it can be termed
commercial and social greed.
Those folks who come to college and
get out of as much work as possible
are not in the institution to get know-
ledge or because they love the work
It I* safe to say -that a great
d -ai of the critic*%m of college
life and oollexa people, by people
who knew nothing about such pla-
ces and soch people, u prompted
by the overdrawn pictures, which
are not typical of tb« modern cam-
pus at all. If th* producer, with
the new idea follow a plan of giv-
ing the public an insight of col-
lege life as it really is. tiiey will
be 'Ioing the -schools and public a
great favor. "The young people
are going to the d«*s" critics are
perhaps the only class of people
j who would lie disappointed in such
j picture.
— The Optimist.
That is the right viewpoint for an
"Optimist" and one which we heart-
; ily endorse. Ii* the College Humor and
she National Picture Corporation I
i should make a picture of college life i

; that people will begin to realize the

THE FATAL WITNESS
Once upon a time there was a high
school superintendent who judged his
applicants for teaching positions by
the letters which he received from
them. No doubt there are many other
employers who do this same thing
and who are not engaged in employing
teachers. However, It seems that those
, who employ teachers are especially
aeems intent only on winning,^ of ^ of draining
regardless of the personal f.tnaaa ofj^ 4^ to th# p0B1.
If ©very one could have just
a few day* (a few hours would
almost I* sufficient) of work
that the members of the staff
have gone through with, we
would hear no more grumbles
from students that there I..n't

Not in thia later hour, O my
sou I,
Need anythini; o'erwhelm, nor
craven fear
Assault the heart. Courage was
ever ours.
It remains, a flame within the
heart that gives u cheer.
We've never known the sunny
road, the singing in the val-
ley.
The soft and golden paths of
love, safe sheltered from
the din;
But we have had to drive rough
shod, where broken faitha
were falling
To keep our eyes upon the goal
we hoped some day to win.
The whip of loaa has harried ua,
has left deep scar* upon ua
And even fate seemed plotting
to add it* share of pain;
And thunder bolts and storming
winds have swept our vis-
ions from us,
But still we dare to lift the
heart in hopeful song again.
And now. O soul, since much ia
lost, since striving brings
hut striving.
And faint and weary, we des-
pair of all we hoped to be;
Still keep the flaming fire of
Cod, that scoffs at all dis-
aster
And yet. through all of Hell
assail, shall come the vic-
tory!
