It was definitely settled that the annual Christmas dance will be giv en at the University club in Dallas from nine until one o’clock on Mon day evening, December 22. Discussion Groups Reorganized For Term Freshman discussion groups, spon sored by the Y M C A, have been reorganized for the current term, re port from the office of the “Y” dis closes. These gatherings, which have proven very successful in the past, will be held each Tuesday night in student rooms of every organization under the supervision of members of the faculty. Such topics as student honor, stu dent responsibility, hazing, mistakes in college life, the effect of college on faith, campus traditions, relationship between men and women, and the value of campus popularity will be discussed. The primary object of these meetings is not to arouse argument, but to have each student voice his opinion on the subject. The discus sions terminate February 24, 1931.

PHONES: OFFICE 275 RES. 635 BRYAN, TEXAS American Education Not Fitting Student For Political Life PORTLAND, Ore. —(IP)—Ameri can education is inefficient in prepar ing the student for participation in political life, according to Dr. Ed ward O. Sisson, head of the depart ment of education and philosiphy at Reed College, who is now engaged in a lecture tour throughout the East. In his address, “A Blind Spot in American Education,” Dr. Sisson de clares that the trend of education is away from politics. More students are studying ancient history than American history, he holds, and more are entered in Latin classes than in civics classes. Even the civics which is being taught in the high schools, he de clares, and the corresponding political science courses in the colleges, are of such a technical and academic na ture as to prepare the student poorly for a political career. The really dangerous citizen, ac cording to Dr. Sisson, is not the thug, the criminal, nor the corrupter of poli ticians, but the apathetic, indifferent citizen who, by his indifference to politics, throws the control of Ameri can political life to the criminal ele ment. Less than half of the qualified vot ers of the country, he says, turn out for elections, and the whole nation’s political policy is controlled by a vi cious minority. “Chicago,” Dr. Sisson states, “is an example of the failure of education to prepare the average student to take part in his own government.” AG-ENGINEERING SHOW Arrangements are under way for a free show on the development of caterpiller tractors and farm imple ments, according to announcement from the agricultural engineering de partment. The show will be put on December 11. The picture is a talkie, and will in clude various phases of the caterpiller tractor industry. Among other fea tures of the film will be the methods used by one farmer to produce corn for 21 cents per bushel.
