The plan seem" to be to stillc rapid growth by possible future groups. There can be little objection to any rule ol the council which sets up a reasonable probationary period for new sororities. I'm! a rule which limits the number which can even enter probation is unfair, especially in view of the increase in enrollment M come with the new College buildings. The new regulation means that, on an average, only one sorority can be admitted to the council every two and one-half years. The lack of dormitory facilities is keenly felt here, and sororities offer one solution of the College housing problem. Their development deserves encouragement, not hindrance. It is quite easy to understand the attitude of the present members towards new members. It is the altitude that the "ill's" always take toward the "out's" in every form of social organization. It is possible that Intersorority will reconsider its rule before injustice is done any specific group. Hut if it does not, any new sorority can take matters into its own hands. If it is neither a member of Intersorority nor on probation by that body, of course it is not bound by any of that organization's rushing rules, All it need do to bring intersorority to time is to go out in the fall and pledge the ten or twelve very best freshman girl-, who enter, initiate them, and repeat the stunt the following year. EVOLUTION AND ACADEMIC FREEDOM As was to have been expected, the supreme court of Tennessee has upheld that state's anti-evolution teaching law in its opinion on the case of John T. Scopes. Proponents of academic freedom intend to take the case to the United States Supreme Court. They are confident that there a different decision will be handed down. It should not be necessary to emphasize again, and yet it will he necessary, that the stake is not whether John Scopes can teach the children of Tennessee that "they are descended from monkeys.'' Certainly Scopes or anyone else with the smallest scientific training would advance no such theory. The stake is the larger one of whether a state legislature, partly composed of almost illiterate men, can dictate wdiat subject matter shall be taught in the public schools. Progress lies only in the full freedom of the mind to search out and teach what it finds, regardless of bow that agrees with sectarian creed and dogma. Such a freedom the State of Tennessee would abridge. The American Association of University Professors is interested in thwarting efforts throughout the country to extend the laws against the teaching of the theory of evolution. Every teacher should be interested. The fundamentals of the profession are at stake. ABOLISH COMPULSORY ASSEMBLY? The senior-sophomore section of the siudent association seems to have acted hastily in overwhelmingly voting down at last week's chapel the two motions to limit reading of assembly notices. Since then the annual movement to arouse student sentiment against compulsory weekly assembly has again made itself heard. It is open to reasonable doubt whether the College would benefit by the abolition of compulsory assembly. A weekly meeting of the student body, if properly conducted, is of service in keeping alive a sense of College unity, a sort of family spirit, An hour a week does not seem too much lime to give to this. When analyzed, most of the undergraduate complaints prove to be not against compulsory chapel but against the particular sort of program which is often presented. De- spite the student council's earnest efforts, many assemblies are wastes of time, They are filled with the reading of notices, nearly all of which have been published either seven days or three hours previously in the N E W S . . O r they are given over to lengthy announcements by students who have something,"games, year hooks or concerts, to "sell" to the student body, They are padded by songs and yells. O r , they are filled with uninteresting speeches. Students appreciate what few worthwhile programs come their way. if more of these could be given, or if assembly could be omitted on days when nothing important had been arranged, there would he fewer complaints, "EXAMINATIONITIS" With finals leu days off the usual preliminary symptoms of'"cxaminatioiiilis" are already apparent, particularly among the freshmen, for whom history 2 and mathematics hold peculiar terror, 11 only makes mailers worse to tell these students (hat if they have prepared from week to week they need not fear the examinations, So many of ihcm know or think ihey haven't. Bui freshmen, looking al their upperclass brothers and sisters—and, of course, looking over the sophomores— should lake heart. "These," Ihey should muse, "have conquered these monsters of examinations. Why not w e ? " THIS QUESTION OF BANNERS Sophomore petitioners who attempted to pick legal holes in the freshman ihefl of their banner last week are administered a polite but adequate "dressing down' 1 in the letter which Myskania has soul them. One by one their sophistries have been exposed. Probably in their zeal to get hack (heir banner tin' sophomores didn't even realize (hey were perpetrating a mess of fallacies. That is (he danger with iuterclass rivalry. Unless il is carefully controlled it causes ill-feeling, Sense of values is lost; a banner becomes a bigger thing than il is. Twelve months from now the sophomores will laugh and join in "kidding" next year's sophomores if their banner is taken.

BLAMES STUDENTS FOR O W N "LACK O F CULTURE" EDITOR, T H E N E W S : The following arc two statements from which an evident deduction is forthcoming. T h e lirsi is taken from the criticism by superintendents made in I'resident Brubaclier's report: "Cultural material should be emphasized more than it is in the present requirements." The second is a remark heard recently in the College halls: "Did you notice at the last concert that there appeared to be more outsiders than College students?" The cultural element is present; yet only a few are cognizant of its great value. Student organizations bring noted pianists, well-known lecturers, and exhibits of art to the College, and they receive but scant support and negligible attention. What is needed is a sharp prod to "College spirit," and a cultivation of response to what is real truth, real beauty, and real culture. —Loi'isK I). G U N N , '27. ARE W E PHILISTINES? EDITOR, T H E N E W S : Apropos of all this talk in the N E W S about the necessity of giving less time here to activities, may I call to your attention the following bit from Matthew Arnold's essay on "Culture and Anarchy".- Arnold, you remember, had a particular aversion for the sort of people he called "Philistines," and here is his definition of a Philistine: "The enemy of the children of light or servants of the idea . . . who not only do nol pursue sweetness and light, but who even prefer to them thai sort of machinery of business, chapels, lea-meetings, and addresses.' The definition is rather apropos, isn't it? -'28.

"Fundamentally there is—or should be —no difference between a teachers college paper and that of any other kind of college,' Van Kleeck says. "The difference which unfortunately does cxi.il is one of quality; the teachers college papers, as a rule, are much poorer sheets. "When you attempt to change the attitude of your school from one of criticism to one of active support," he advises, "accomplish tills by doing things which help the school. The biggest service the paper can render is III its news columns, Don't let your paper become a bulletin board with nothing but Unimportant notices and notes. Don't let it become a literary magazine stuffed with fillers which nobody reads. Don't let it become it booster sheet.
