"HOT STUFF!"

The fourth number has just been published of a magazine called the "American Campus" which proposes to tell briefly what college students are doing and thinking. Judging from its contents, it either continues itself to certain colleges or roams about idiotically in the land or fiction. Whether the sentimental trash it prints is actually gleaned from real campuses, it is impossible to say. Certainly some of the publications of small time colleges show a cheapness of much the same sort. But as for such stuff bring typical of colleges throughout the county, most assuredly it is not.

The titles with which the articles are captioned give some idea of the way in which this magazine represents student life in America: "Dan Cupid in the Colleges." "Tipplers and Toddlers." "The Hot Date and the O. F. G." "Girls Be yourself." Tae stories themselves are full of cheap witticisms and the coarse sensationalism usually confined to yellow journals and moving pictures. The coeducational feature is stressed to the limit, and beyond. Just what excuse there is for the publication of such a magazine it seems hard to imagine. If people must write about colleges why not do it truthfully?
