TO FALL PROM GUESTS, WELCOME!

To all the guests at Drew Universityduring the weekendof the Fall Prom, “The Drew Acorn” bids welcome. May youénjoy your visit to our campus to such an extent that itwill al-ways remain a cherished memory which will urge you to returnwhenever you have the opportunity. The social committee hastried to arrange a programwhich is of a high type in every way.We believe it has succeeded, but the final verdict rests with you.We hope that your reaction is favorable-and that your stay here1s the most pleasant ever.

THE PROBLEM OF ELIGIBILITY

The primary purpose of the eligibility rules at BrothersCollege has been to protect a man from himself. Some men cometo college so enthusiastic about extra-classroom activities thatbe-fore they know it their scholastic standing has been jeopardizedbecause they spend too much time on extra-classroom and notenough time on classroom activities. :

The theory of the eligibility rules is two-foldin that it rea-sons, first, that if a man has less to do outside of class,he will domore inside of it; and secondly, that a man who is ineligible willbring his marks up in order that he may be eligible for the extra-classroom activities which he enjoys. :

There is evidence to show that in some cases the eligibilityrules have served this purpose, in others that it tends todefeatits own end, and in others that there is very little, if any connec-tion between eligibility for or participation in extra-classroomac-

As example of the first group, we know of several men whoare doing better work than they have ever done before simplyto become and to remain eligible for extra-classroom activities.Then, too, some of them are finding that it is a very peculiarlyhappy feeling to be making comparatively good rks in studies.For this group the eligibility rules are definitely constructive ofLetter work and a better attitude toward college life.

In the second group come persons whose whole happiness incollege at first-depends on whether or not they are eligible forextra-classroomand more especially athletic activities.declared ineligible probably would end their college careers.whereas to. be allowed to participate in athletics probably wouldimprove their attitude toward studies and college life in generalto such an extent that they would be a credit to the college.

In the third group, as we have said. there is very little con-nection between scholastic standing and extra-classroom activi-ties. Outside work, ping pong, movies, radios, and laziness, totake only a- few examples, are not listed under the activities inwhich a student who is failing may not participate. =

y flaws in the Brothers College eligibilityThere are mrules at present, but these now are being ironed out. We havein mind one outstanding example-—a very excellent student whois listed as limitedly eligible, the reason being that he is unableto swim the length of the Drew swimming pool!

The ‘most ticklish point concerns the eligibility of new stu-dents who are on probation. This poini probably will be clearedup by having the probation waived at the end of the first grad-ing period if the student’s marks are high enough. r

INREVIEWBy Edwin Heinl

VINCENT VAN GOGH

In our day when a Ravel cangrow rich from the sensuousthumps of a bolero, and Ger-trude Stein’s four unintelligi-

| ble saints cavort successfullythrough three acts, it is quitein keeping that the paiitingsof Vincent Van Gogh shouldenjoy a wide popularity. Lessthan half a century ago, theartist was able to sell only oneof his 741 paintings for eightydollars. Today, when hiswork is valued at more thanten million dollars, crowdscomparable to those at anArmy-Navy football game areflocking to the Van Gogh ex-.hibition at the Museum of Mod- -ern Art.The present Van Gogh rena-

scence is probably due to themodern interest in whatever isdifferent, unconventional, evenfreakish. The art of VanGogh reflects a wild," abnormallife and a temperament thatapproaches madness. After adisappointing love affair, VanGogh lost his position as anart clerk because he refused tosell any paintings other thanthose in which the artist ex-pressed human suffering. Hethen decided to devote himselfto doing good and became anevangelist in the mining re-gions of Belgium. Here amongthe half-starved miners whowere unable to earn enoughto provide adequate shelterand clothing for their families,he first tried a hand at draw-ing. It was not the work of aFreneh acadeniician, however,but that of a bitter realist. Hisbrother..Theo,recognized the..quality of these early sketchesand finally persuaded Vincentto leave his shack in Belgium.At Paris, Van Gogh became

acquainted with many of theimpressionists and their ‘influ-ence is indelibly a part of allhis later work. But in the at-elier he never felt free; hevearned for the bright sun ofProvence. During the fewvears at Arles (1887-1889), heworked indefatigably and pro-duced the paintings uponwhich his fame rests. It wasa turbulent period of intenseemotion with no let-up, theswan song of frustrated being.‘Through sickness, drink andinsanity, Van Gogh averagedfour convases a week. He cov-ered with one stroke of theLrush- what most painterswinld have taken twenty;some. pictures were completedwithin a few minutes. It isthe work of enthusiasmwithout an ordered- intellectualprocess. After several spas-modic attacks of insanity dur-ing one of which he cut off hisear with a razor, Van Goghshot himself. :Van Gogh was captivated by

IS MARX A MENACE ON DREW CAMPUS? .. . No, we donot refer here to academic grades but to the author of the Com-

munist Manifesto, Das Kapital and what have you . .. We lift

this amazing statement from the Morristown News under the

column “Around the Park” by Val: “The students who go to

college near Madison are reputed to be sort of favorable to the

ideals of Russia due to an instructor or two there whopreach the

ideas around the campus and classrcoms.” As your campus

correspondent who is supposed to be “in the know,” this is cer-

tainly a surprise. Drew isyno doubt the target of Mr. Val’s re-

marks. Could he be thinking of St. Elizabeth’s College whenhe

writes “college near Madison”? ... We hardly think so . .. Drew

of course is in Madison, but Val’s oraphionl mistake only

goes to prove our old contention that the bigger the town,the.rew is preachingbigger the hick ... If an instructor or two at

communistic doctrines, it would smack of intolerance to say

we're against it..But at least we’d like to know who our com-Why re-

sort to subterfuge? Will Val supply us with more details in the

next issue of the Morristown News?* * *

AESOP TELLS ALL... After four weeks of nerve-racking,

brain-bending,tongue-twisting effort about a dozen Campus
