As Seen From the
Crow’s Nest
By THE LOOKOUT
In looking across the Atlantic ;t
few weeks ago, you remember we
Isaw ail interesting thing in ttie
Rhineland, these kiddies that were
mums their daddies. England and
France apparently are busy now at
correcting figures. The Lookout saw
15,000 of them, and only a few were
American, that figure was taken from
the papers of European “neutrals.”
Now comes an English paper with
some "revised” figures. Here they
arc;: American 1N51, Belgian, 199,
✓British 939, French 707, Coloured
troops 15, and without ascertainable
nationality 29. The total is 3841,
<jr only about 25% as many of the
former figures I gave. Do you no-
tice that in this English paper, which
Is supposed to be quoting from "Kol-
jnische Zeitung” America is favored
with a much larger share1? 1 want
to be fair, let you see both sides of
the picture. Now we will look at.
^something else, or we will be neck-
sore from banging our heads so long
in shame over America’s part in this
interesting episode.
. Interior politics in France certain -
i ly are in a mess. When Tarilieu the
i other day tried to speak in the
Chamber of Deputies, when he came
back as premier, he was hooted so it
took twenty minutes so he could be-
Yia at all. It took him hours to get
, through, because the opposition
would hoot and bang their desks, so
! the speaker had to recess the sitting
several times, until he finally could
summon a hearing for the Premier.
The applause from the right and the
center only added to the confusion.
It is said that for over thirty years
nothing has happened like it in the
French Chamber.
e
Here is the interesting part about
it. Looking at the Foreign Policies
we see another France. At the same
time that the minute division into
l'j parties is playing havoc with the
^Home politics, and all blit, threaten
| to disrupt the parliamentary govern-
i ment, the nation shows a united
' front abroad. There is the enigma,
France is strong enough to practical-
ly break up the London Conference,
where her delegates have brought
about an impasse, that has all but
(wrecked the Conference. The an-
swer is the “spirit of Briand,” the
)“everpresent” Foreign minister. That
1 spirit is hovering over the Foreign
policies; the animosity between
i France and Italy is causing both no
, tions to actually walk out of the
Conference, and Briand has a united
1 France behind him.
. If the Conference goes on the
| rocks Frence may get the blame, but
it was exactly the best thing that
strength may pull down MacDonald
^from his pedestal in England.

Pirate Band
Visits Moody
Miss Kuykendall Chief
Speaker at Cele-
bration
On Friday the Pirate Band, under I
the direction of Ed Onstot, made a
trip to Moody, to play at a celebra-
tion to be held there that night.
Miss Laura Kuykendall, dean of
women at Southwestern, had been in-
vited to be the chief speaker of the
occasion. Moody is the home of Miss
Kuyk.
Arriving amid a downpour of rain,
the band found the celebration had
thwarted, but they did their best to
liven up the dampened spirits of ev-
eryone.
A big dinner was served to all the
guests from Southwestern by the la-
dies of the Methodist Church of
Moody, and tlie band, true to the col
lege, showed a real Southwestern
spirit in the partaking of food.
The people of Moody wore most
courteous to the school representa-
tives, and offered them their homes
to spend the night. Those in charge
thought that it would tie the most
advisable thing to do, to wait until
the next morning to return, so out
over town scattered the band of Pi
rates.
Before breaking up for the night,
an hour of meeting for the next
morning was decided upon. Then
the morning the hour came, but the
meeting did not occur. It was about
half an hour after schedule that the
gang finally got together.
Every bad thing has its good
points. It was too bad that the rain
came just at the time to spoil a long
planned event, but the rain was
needed bad, and the band would not
have been able to make their so-
journ in the little city. So, taking
everything into consideration,
! grand time was experienced, even if
a little mud was mixed in with it.

Shows Decrease
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
We, the students and faculty
of Southwestern, wish to express
our profound sympathy for our
friend and fellow student, Martha
Wallace, in the great sorrow that
has come to her in the loss of her
lather. __________

The enrollment will not reach the
point of last term, as far as the pres-
ent records show. The enrollment
for this term is now at 380. Of this
number 195 are girls and 185 are
boys. Last term the final count
went above four hundred.
The final reports of the averages
last term have not been issued yet,
but there were only five that wore
unable to return to school due to
lack og passing their work. Several
entered on probation, but will likely
make the work all right.
Though many idle reports have
been spread, it is evident that the
selective basis has succeeded in , lnn-
inating from the student body a
large number of the failures. There
have been fewer failures this year
in Southwestern than in any year of
th past, in regard to the number
th.< l are present.
Dean Ullrich, in speaking about
student responsibilities and the se-
lective system, said: “The adminis-
tration is pleased with the results of
the experiment this year. We have
not eliminated all objections, but we
have made a great step forward.
With this policy in voguo for a few
years longer, we feel certain that we
can reduce the number of ‘get-bys’
to a minimum.”

Hospital in Tetnplo, whore She un-
derwent an operation for appendi-
citis one day last week. At th« last
report she was doing nicely and im-
proving steadily. Her many friends
on the campus are wishing for her
speedy recovery.

L_ Leaders to be Here
Wherever students desire to find
significant ways of living and enjoy
contact with people who have made
ideals into habits, they will welcome
Lucille Day.
A Fhi Beta Kappa from Oberiin
College in 1922, with post graduate
work in the University of California,
she has just returned from five years
in Turkey. Her experiences there
include work in a kindergarten and
social center in Brousa, teaching
English to the members of the na-
tional club, the “Turk Ojab,” and
serving as leader in summer Y. \V.
C. A. camps for the girls of Constan-
tinople, and as teacher in a girls’
boarding school.
Her own achievements and her
familiarity with the achievements
of students in many places make her
a valuable person with whom to talk.
Her information is broad an dher
ideals the result of experience. She
is informed on opportunities for
students in the many avenues for
service offered bv the various Chris-
tian agencies increased in the world-
wide Kingdom of God. Bin* has the
ability to share these things in ways
that are effective and acceptable.

'I'lit* Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A.
are very fortunate in being able to
present to the student body this
week two prominent men. Dr. Cor-

I versify, China, and now traveling in
tlie interest of Christian World Edu-
cation, has been on the campus since
Monday afternoon. He visited sev-
eral classes this morning, and made
a talk to the students at chapel. All
who are interested in the World Stu-
dent Movement should talk with Dr.
Corbett.
From Friday until Sunday Dr. Al-
lyn K. Foster of Chicago will-be a
guest of the University. Dr. Foster
is a widely known authority on re
j ligion, and it will be worth the while
of every student, to have a confer-

JUST SWALLOW; DON’T EAT
Do the students eat at the Wom-
an’s Building? No, they just await
low; yes, and between swallows they
grouch at the food. Why they gripe
when they don’t chew, and therefore
can’t taste when it is just swallowed,
is incomprehensible. However, the
majority of those that fuss have such
a limited intellect that they can nev-
er think of anything to say except
to comment on 'the things that hap-
pen to be riyrht in front, of them.
Probably one reason why some girls
come to the dining room at all is to
display their outside furnishings,
and by gotting through and leaving
first, the expedition has a better ef-
fect; and then they will have a first
chance in captivating the boys as
they come out.
Just let Miss Kuykendall try to
make an announcement, or someone
try to say a few words, and of all
the sighB and bored looks; a movie
director would have a perfectly love-
ly group to select indignant charac-
ters from. OwwtraM think from
some of the countenances that she
was telling them not to smoke. Bnt
these same people will listen with
both ears and eyes wide open, yes,
and mouth, too, at such conversa-
tions as this: “He was so damned
fiat I’m not going to date with him
again. 1 even had to walk to town
last night, and all he did was just
hold my hand.” Then from a mem-
ber of the masculine sex comes this:
“8ay, that’s what iny bud told ’em
when he looked over and saw three
of its members that lie had put to
bed the night before, and here they
were trying to kick him out of
school.”
Well, as was being said when the
effect of Miss Kirk’s announcement
interrupted the thought: the dining
room should he a place of relaxation,
and from all appearances some have
developed this state of being to the
fullest extent. But just let. a waiter
happen to misjudge a plate, and
there is a perfect tension resulting
in a sudden outburst of applause.
It. is O. K. how a person eats and
when they get through; but to wig-
gle around and make it so unfom-
fortable for the ones left eating
that they stop before they are
through, goes to prove that one ani-
mal, (cows, maybe), never waits for
another.

Student Chris-
tian Conference
Meets in Austin
l)r. C. W. (iilkey From
Chicago Chief
Speaker
Nearly two hundred students from
I eleven colleges in South Texas ns-
semlilcd at Austin March 21-23 for
the South Texas Student Christian
Conference. Texas l'Diversity, Rico
Institute, Texas Medical College,
Sam Houston State Teachers College,
Southwest Texas State 'Teachers Col-
lege, Westmoorland College, South-
western University, Texas A. & M.
College, and three negro colleges,
were the schools from which delo-
i gates came. Matty of the students
| had been companions at other con-
| ferences and there was a splendid
I spirit of fun and fellowship from the
beginning to the end.
The theme of the Conference was
"Christ in the Life of the Individ-
ual and ( mist in the Life of the
World.” Under the able leadership
of Dr. Charles W. (iilkey of Chicago,
Miss Lucile Day of Brousa, Turkey,
and Dr. Charles Corbett of New
York, from tin* platform we were
shown some of the world movements
of today, political, economic, social,
and religious. Besides the address-
er from the platform tiie opportuni-
ty of going more into detail concert-
ing the situation in Turkey, China,
Brazil, Korea and Africa was given.
These groups were called interest
groups, and were led by the follow-
ing persons Miss Day, Rev. A. 8
Cooper ami Mr. Corbett, Miss Lucy
Bell Morgan, Han Wan Yun, and
Rev. W. L. Turner. Also there was
a group on “Students in Industry”
led by Claud Nelson.
Dr. Cilkev in his first address lik-
ened the life of tlie world since the
World War to Niagara Falls. The
water is hurled over the falls and
for ten long miles down the river
the water is churned and whirled by
the eddies and undercurrents. The
mass of water tends in a general di-
rection and in some places it, seems
to bo moving peacefully—then it is
violentlv whirled by the unseen
strife below the surface.
He pointed out th.-tt race prejudice
was similar to the undercurrents of
the Niagara River. We in the U. 8.
cannot understand tin* delicacy of
the problem as it exists “east of the
8tii*z and west of the Golden Gate.”
The people in that part of the world
are bitter against the Westerner who
thinks'there is no civilization other
than his own. The people of the
East have made a distinction be-
tween Christ anil Christianity. We
have sent them our religion tied up
in ‘‘(festern wrapping paper, address-
ed in western handwriting, and
stamped with western stamps.”
Upon opening the package the peo-
ple of tin* East have made two dis-
coveries of great importance to
them. First, they found that Jesus
Christ was an Oriental himself, a
man of tin* East. Then they discov-
ered that Christ was one of the de-
spised races. Naturally these peo-
ple who have been held down by the
rest of the world find in Jesus one
who sympathizes and understands,
and thev are immediately drawn to
Him. But what of the Westerner?
The second point in Dr. Gilkey’s
address on “Jesus in the Life of the
World” was that “the hold Christ
has upon the world is ns firm today
as it ever was.” He quoted George
B. Shaw as saying that Christ is the
only person who has come out of the
war with an enhanced reputation for
common sense.
Men recognize the Bpirit, of Christ
wherever they see it. Gilkoy told
us that on old man in India wanted
to take him to see the grave of Jesus
