GRANP MARCH AND FINALE Wi th th is issue the Pointer ends its fi r t complete year of week
ly public5tion. While the Pointer first went on a regular weekly basis i11 J anuary last year - thus placing itse lf on a par with the best college and Teachers College papers in point of numbers, several important, alt hough perhap not very evident, improvements haYe been made this yea r . P erhaps the most important is the change fro m what is knoll'n as "ten point" to "eight point" type.
~hirty issues were originally pla1med. The smaller size type, together with the pictu1·cs, cost so much that the finances, depleted as th ey' ,rere 'fiy a considerable drop in the enrollment, fell so low t hat only t wenty-seven issues were possible. EYen at that the Pointer has appeared every Thursday, starting with the week school opened in September, a bit erratic because of irregularities in the school calendar, and, on one oc·casion, a special number which took longer to prit1t" ~ . '
'l'he P 'nter has endeavored throughout the year to mak •ery bit of space c nt. In order to create more than the ct ary r eading of this column (which is slight ), the Editor has taken the liberty to impose upon his publ ic by writing himself a number of contributions under the non de plum 0. 0., which, it will be noticed, was sumerilly plagiarized by the Iris. " El Duce" , erstwhile none other than Mr. Carlton "Duke" Lintner, t he Sports Editor, was induced to enterta in his athletic friends in "the Shower Room," which was p rinted during the athletic season. Our friend Mr. John K eith Berens contribu ted t he diYerse moral articl~s which appeared from time to time in this column under the name of "Baron Casey".
Mr. C. G. L. Theis, next year's Editor-in-chief, wi ll no doubt publish a paper representative of the high standards of this institution. He is left with almost a complete exper ienced staff, a phenomenon almost unheard of for the Pointer.
- INFLUENTIALISM VERSUS NON-INFLUENTIALISM Only afte r haYiilg very carefully scrutinized the editorial in the
last issue of the Pointer , which is entitled Student Government, do I come to a rather concise, and definite conclus ion that a more fittin g and appropriate t itle would ha Ye been "Sour Grapes".
You will also note that in taking this stand upon the question of stuc[ent government that I voluntarily place myself with the group of students that are class ified as non-influential. This statement is based upon the statement, which appeared so conspicuously in the hertofore mentioned article, ' ' the mo ·t influential students were for it''.
In order to be influential a person necessarily must be prof icient. In what manner were the "most influential students " proficient 1 Any student, who had all the senses in good work ing order, could readily see that they were very clever in getting a disinterested stu-dent body to " Vote in favor of anything".
-why should there be this lack of interest in a project that is practically guaranteed to cure all of the existing evils of the present .administration 1 The writer of that article went so far as to attribute this lack of interest upon innocent nature, upon happy commencem ent, upon the joys and sorrows of securing a t eaching position, and -so forth and so on to infinity. During all of that 639 word discussion not one word was said concerning the need of a student government. ·1'he need is lacking and upon that one lone fact do I attribute this fack of interest on the part of the student body.
P erhaps the need has been so evident that a busy, unobserving young fellow like myself has failed to see it. I would like very much to have the exponents of the new plan point ou t a drast ic need for a change of administration.
I have absolutely more faith in a governing body composed of men who are seasoned, experienced, and who realize the seriousness of running this institution properly, than I have in a government whjc·h is composed of both faculty members and the "most influential students". , · .
I have not been given a quarter for writing this. Yours for-fewer-swelled- heads afia more of tbe spirit ofLind-
