Thing* an (topping at college*
throughout the country.
Perhaps it all got?.* back to the quota-
tinn, "In the firing a young man's
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love."
A' any rate, one woman's college suf-
fered a "shorts raid" on the dormitories,
and the coed* were routed with hoses.
At an old and reputable "Ivy league"
college, malt- students let their hair
down when two striptcasers visited a
dormitor ■ A a result. 25 students were
disciplined.
Students Toss Kggs
At another college, however, love ob-
viously was riot the motive, for hund-
red- of students tossed eggs at the uni-
versity president. Kocks and a smoke
Iwmb were also thrown because the
president damped a set of strict rules
on co-ed parties at fraternities and off-
carnpus apartments.
Thus, another flare-up of collegiate
boisterousneas and obvious restlessness.
It happens ever so often at colleges
across the coui try, and it has been go-
ing on for years.
During the golden days of the so-
called "Roaring Twenties" with its
Mack bottom and Charleston, there was
considerable goldfish gulping and sit
ting on flagpoles.
As a matter of fact, the nationwide
goldfish-gulping craze was set ofF in the
spring. It was just 19 years ago when
i.othrop Withington Jr., a Harvard
fr> - hman, vw,ri a $10 bet by swallowing
his first and last live goldfish.
Withington now lives, a national news
magazine reported recently, with his
wife and four children in Plymouth,
Ma s., and he is president of a petrol-
eum sales and service company.
The most, prominent of the flagpole
-iffer- James (Shipwreck) Kelly, set
,i record of ">7 days in Denver iri 1932
which -stood until 19IH when his wife,
now dead. |>erched above Chattanooga
for GO days.
The success of Withington would,
at a glance, seem to jroirit out that the
idiotic stunts do not have any effect on
collegians in later life. Hut a glance at
Kelly's present situation is rather dis-
heartening At 7rt, he is jobless. Unable
to find work as an uphosterer in Stock-
ton, Calif., he is moving to San Fran-
cisco.
Raids Catch On
l.ater, the panty raid caught on
among collegians. There were even a
few of them here, but the quick action
of officials brought things to a halt.
The incidents seem to indicate that
the situation among today's collegians
is growing worse. Yet the situation is
actually very good at the present.
When a few unique events occur, news-
papers are quick to carry the stories
because readers like something that
news paper men tail "oddities in the
news " And the events are usually (Kid.
These events become magnified in
the public's eye, and everyone gets
quite ujwet. And the public enjoys be
ing upset.
The public should become more
alarmed at the younger generation, and
by "younger generation" I mean teen-
agers.
Maybe the activity at colleges is a
revolt against being referred to as
members of something called the "Beat
Cent-ration." Everyone is now an "an-
gry young man," if he looks the least
bit angry.

For almost a year the shouts heard
throughout, the world have been of
space and the atom -but particularly
of space.
The satellites launched by the Soviet
Union and the United States have been
the principal reasons for this tremen-
dous interest in space.
And now it is suddenly apparent that
there is another equally important
phase of defense. This phase concerns
oceans of the earth. The seas are im-
portant, not only for defensive reasons
but also for scientific ones as well.
The Reds are, of course, making gi-
gantic gains in exploring the oceans
and are reportedly, as in most other
fields, ahead of the United States.
The seas are important because water
comprises nearly three-fourths of the
world's surface. Certain unexplored ex-
panses of the Pacific ocean floor are
supposed to be rich in valuable minerals.
In addition, the large, wheeling move-
ments of ocean currents are believed
to hold the key to weather prediction.

Of art as a career, she says she has been
interested in it since childhood and that it is
relatively easy for her, and adds, "I feel that
I can do more in the field of art than in any
other."
On being asked which of her achievements
she considered the most outstanding, she re-
plied that it probably would be Meritum, al-
though she rated TCOC and Who's Who a
close tie for second.

Vandals injured a memlier of Tau Epsilon

the house.
As the party was breaking up, members
starting to leave saw a dozen neighborhood
boys jumping on a car belonging to one of
the members. They were also throwing large
pieces of lumber at the car. When they dis-
covered that members of the fraternity were
watching them, they began to throw at the
house.
In the excitement a member was hit on
the ear with a stick. The hoodlums escaped

The Yucca is a yearbook, not a plant. It

in case of panty raids. Also sometimes the
house mother accidentally leans against the

Dormitory air conditioners make excellent
refrigerators which will hold three Cokes, a
jar of cheese spread, a package of sandwich
meat, and one rosebud corsage. Note of warn-
ing the air conditioner should be on at all
times to avoid having the meat spoil and
stink up the dorm.
Convertibles are a man's best friend in the
summer. All eds should either own or have
access to one, preferably white and not more
than two years old.
The library is air conditioned and has lots
of hooks.

Perhaps the most important part of college
life ij the academic and scholastic part. After
all, people enroll in college to learn something,
not just to spend money and have dates. A'
least that's what their parents think.
Study Hefore Play
In all seriousness, studyir./ should come be-
fore play, and as any teacher will agree, ev
very student should spend at least two hours
studying out of class for every one hour he
spends in the classroom. No one is so naive as
to believe that students actually do this, but it
isn't a bad policy, and it really does save on
the cramming at the end of the semester And
in the long run, it's just as cheap as No-Doz.
It's a common rumor around campus that
tuition prices were doubled last fall and are
still in that state It seems logical that if it's
going to cost us students twice as much, we
should be entitled to learn twice as much. So

That juvenile crime is as much a
cause of concern in Japan as it is in
the United States may shock American
parents. Yet the number of senseless
crimes, the outbursts of "blackboard
jungle" violence in the schools, and the
daily increase in "problem children"
brought before Tokyo police testify to
this fact.
Several weeks ago a respected assist-
ant principal of a primary school in Ja-
pan was stabbed to death on a crowded
Tokyo train; three days later the body
of an 18-year-old student was found by
police. He died from an overdose of
sleeping pills; a suicide note in his
pocket explained that he had learned
that the principal had died, and the stu-
dent asked his parents' forgiveness.
Bewildered parents, facing these new
actions, ask, "What is happening to our
children?" In answer, many observers
dismiss the problem as a consequence
of postwar social and economic disloca-
tion. However, believing that the prob-
lem is more complex, one judge says
that "Japanese youth today confuses
liberty with license." Because the defeat
of Japan destroyed old moral values
and because nothing has come along to
replace such values, the result is a
moral vacuum.
A modern Japanese, living in a state
of constant conflict between the old and
the new, often finds himself disobedient
to the traditions of his parents; he may
find that the idea of "arranged" mar-
riage as prescribed by his parents di
rectly contradicts the common "mutual
consent" marriage. For Japan's young-
er generation has seen Japan lose the
war and her customs and traditions.
As a result, that generation has seen
Japan lose her prestige and faith.
