THE COLLEGE STAR
THE GRAVEST PROB-
BLEM OF THE DAY
(Michigan Daily)
The passage of an immigration bill
by Congress is always an important
matter, fraught with grave dangers
of international complications. For
when a bill is passed 'which alters
the very fundamentals on which our
immigration policy has been hitherto
founded, as does the new Johnson
Immigration bill, the importance of it
is measured not only in its effect upon
our own country but in its effect upon
the world. Whether it is best to re-
strict immigration at this time,
whether it is best to restrict immigra-
tion from certain countries only and
to encourage it from others, all of
these questions should be given intel-
ligent consideration.
The new bill, which is so construct-
ed as to restrict the influx of mem-
bers of the south European and esat-
ern Asiatic peoples and to encourage
the immigration of the Nordic or North
European races, and which virtually
try of members of the Eastern Asiatic
races, is perhaps the boldest step
which the United States has yet tak-
en to dictate the racial characteris-
tics of future American citizens.
For centuries, the migration of peo-
ples into the western, and less popu-
lated portions of the world has been
the safety valve of the overpeopled
areas of Europe. In the years pre-
ceding the war, this annual migration
had amounted to more than 1,000,000
annually entering this country. To-
day, the doors of the United States
aie closed to much of this immigra-
tion, as are the doors of most of the
other countries of the world.
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF SAN MARCOS
K.K.K. PARADE MONDAY NIGHT
There wall be a big Ku Klux Klan
parade on the streets of San Marcos
Monday night, and it is probable that
there will be one of the largest crowds
on the streets of the city that night
that there has been for some time.
The Klansmen and their friends will
be the participants in a big barbecue
Monday afternoon and the parade will
come as a climax o the entertainment
of the afternoon. It is said that there
will be a large number of the robed
men from nearby cities to attend the
parade and it will be one of the big-
gest of the kind ever staged in this
part of the state.
NEW TERM GETS UNDER WAY
What to do with this surplus popu-
lation is today one of the most press-
ing questions facing statesmen. With
the doors of practically all the world
closed to them, the nations of the
east face the alternative either of
pursuing an active policy of indust-
rialization in order to absorb in the
towns what can be no longer main-
tained on the land, or of migrating to
South America or Africa, where there
are possibilities of close restriction
even now.
Certainly these problems, affecting
as they do and must, the economic,
social, and even the biologic founda-
tions of the world are the most press-
ing which seek for solution today
They are world wide in their scope
and must be handled only by inter-
national action. It is fortunate that
the nations of the world are fast be-
coming conscious of the fact that
over natioanlism, not only does not
sclve their own problems but will
lead them into serious complications.
With a, growing sentiment in favor of
international oneness, nations may
sometime be brought to consider what
remedy of the problem will benefit
net themselves alone, but also the pro-
gress oi humanity.
AT FlOlUR A. M.
It was pitch black in the parlor.
Three hours ago Susan, the naughty
vamy, had turned out the light. The
clock on the mantel stuck, “one, two,
three, four”. It was a strange, hollow
sound echoing through the silence. A
milk wagon rattled by. Again all was
still. Then from the divan corner of
the room came a few faint noises,
“Smack-smack-ummmmm, gulp-gurgle-
gulp-ummmmm-smack, sh-sh” then a
soft sighing sound. The water in the
radiator had begun to boil.
The second term of the Summer ses-
sion started with the beginning of this
week and has now settled down to the
routine of class work after the comple-
tion of the schedule making which
took the better part of two days.
There are between seventy and eigh-
ty new students to enroll for the second
term of the summer school that were
not in school for the first. There were
quite a few students who went home
at the close of the first term, having
completed a half summer’s work and
not wishing to remain through the hot-
ter part of the summer term.
HARRIS BLAIRS HAVE
WATERMELON FEAST
WHY?
A citizen who maintained a pawn-
shop took out a fire nisurance policy.
The same day a blaze broke out that
destoyed the building and is contents.
The insurance company tried in vain
to find sufficient grounds to refuse
payment, and was obliged to content
itself with the following letter ap-
pended to the check:
“Dear Sir: We note that your policy
was issued at ten o’clock on Thurs-
day morning and the fire did not occur
until three-thirty. Why this unseem-
ly delay?”
Rogers park was alive with Harris-
Blairs and their friends Wednesday
night from early dusk ttill the moon
was high. Among the guests were Mr.
and Mrs. Arnold, the Society’s “Daddy
and Mother”, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Har-
rison, Mr. Tanner, Mrs. Blount, Miss
Head, and Miss Brogden.
The entertainment began with a
ride on the new “whirla jig” which
makes you drunk free of charge and
1 devoid of the after-affects, charge-de-
affaires Blake (Martin called the group
together for the program consisting of
songs of various types. Houdini Cav-
ness, the terrifying Turk or Haunting
Hindu, performed a very exciting card
trick for the benefit of those who might
go on the stage in slight of hand per-
forming. Games testing the ability and
honesty were next indulged in. With
the exception of twenty-four members
of the society no dishonesty was dis-
cerned.
The final act consisted of the eating
of the “thin-rind, big-hearted wond-
ers”, fresh from the ice vault.
demolays to have banquet
For the past few weeks the John E.
Pritchett (local) chapter Order De-
Molays have been making plans for
another monstrous banquet. It was on-
ly a short time ago that a similar en-
tertainment took place at the chamber
of commerce in which the DeMolays
brought their young lady friends and
this will be no exception. The last
was indeed a treat as was testified by
the guests and even went above the ex-
pectations of the members. Everything
possible is being done to make this a
much more enjoyable affair than the
last.
Tickets are now on sale by the com-
mittee in charge and the plans will be
completed at the meeting next Wed-
nesday night. The date set is Thurs-
day, July 24th and all DetMolays are
urged to buy their tickets at once as
they will be withdrawn from sale in
time to finish preparations.
MISS STEVENS WELL
PLEASED WITH WORK
The faculty and student body of the
college will be glad to hear that Miss
Burnyce Stevens, who is tsudying both
piano and voice at Conservatory in
Fontainableau, France, is delighted
with her work there. Upon examina-
tions under master teachers she was
congratulated upon her thorough train-
ing and was readily admitted to ad-
vanced classes with other artists who
are attending the school. The college
is expecting a large enrollment in the
piano department this fall when Miss
Stevens returns to resume her work.
In the short time (Miss Stevens has
been teaching in the college she has
enrolled many pupils, a number of
whom are holding responsible posi-
tions in the state.
“I think I’ll drop in one the boys”,
said the miner as he fell down the
shaft.—Exchange.

Methusaleh ate what he found on his
plate
And never, as people do now,
Did he note the amount of the calorie
count—
He ate it because it was chow.
He wasn’t disturbed, as at dinner he
sat
Destroying a roast or a pie,
To think it was lacking in granular fat
Or a couple of vitamines shy.
Hhe cheerfully chewed every species
of food,
Untroubled by worries or fears
Lest his health might be hurt by some
fancy dessert,
And he liver over nine hundred years.
Buy a pennant for your grip.
