THE BATTALION

M. H. HOLLOWAY
Some people are born fools; others
are made so by environment. To
those in the former class, I extend
my smypathies, for it is a pathetic
state of affairs. But for those in the
latter class, I have no respect at all.
It is a pity that we have several on
the campus. Perhaps I should say,
this otherwise intelligrent campus.
Given a tiny bit of authority, this
type of an individual becomes so con
ceited that he becomes a perfect don
key. It g-oes to his head like Cham
pagne. Given enough rope he slow
ly but surely hangs himself. It causes
one to laugh.
Some sweet day, when Utopia shall
have been obtained, men will be
blessed with icommon sense for once
in their life. They will think about
the feelings of others and they will
be more tactful and unassuming.
They will be less conceited and less
conscious of self. By that time, how
ever, we’ll all have wings and will be
playing lovely melodies on golden
harps. Nevertheless, it’s wonderful
to think about such a peaceful situa
tion and we may derive some pleas
ure at least in wondering what kind
of a world this would be if all men
had the saving grace of common
sense. This idea may even be applied
to a head waiter in Sbisa Hall for
common sense has neve" hurt any
one ... Of such things are dreams
made.

Max Eastman offereo! something
new in the way of entertainment for
those who appreciate a different sort
of lecture. There was hardly a mo
ment that he did not have the entire
attention of his audience. Presenting
new ideas and contrasts in a strik
ing manner, he changed many of our
opinions about Russia. Morals and
marriage, which arei always a popu
lar subject for discussion, were touch
ed in a skillful manner and when we
were told that for one “ruble” one
could obtain a permit to marry and
that for another “ruble” one could
g'et an easy divorce, we all had an
instant desire to visit Russia—at
least for a few happy months. It
must be a wonderful sensation.
