THE PRESS

"Be Collegiate!"

"Neck, drink, occasionally study and all will be well. Whatever you do, Freshmen, don't be original. Be collegiate. Wear the right clothes at the right time. Think as few original thoughts as possible. It's collegiate to bull the prof. into a B when you rated a D. It's collegiate to sleep in lectures, crib in exams, copy themes, and get by. It's collegiate to prefer an Afro-American fox trot to a Beethoven sonata. Ah, by all means let's be collegiate. None of the herd will raise shocked hands and say begone miserable, radical, pink socialist."

"The picture we paint is not confined to this college. It is the shameful shadow that is being cast by the entire American educational system of today. Jazzed up oultures. Dollars and cents. Dollars and cents. To the dust blink with literature and the arts unless they can be turned to the profitable channels of scenario writing or short story work. Are you willing to be students of the name? Thinkers that do not fainter beneath the condemnation of the sleepy, mind-covered heard that grunts and ambles its way down the ruts to oblivion?" Mlcatgan State "Green Onion."
