Green Begs 'Rebels' To Return To A.F. of L.
Tampa, Fla. Nov. 16—(UP)—President William Green, handed a "no surrender" edict to John L Lewis and his colleagues today, but begged the "rebels" to return to Washington with the fortunate and many settlement of all feuds. He made his plea in formally opening the 50th annual convention of the Federation—the most momentous one in organized labor's history. It was more than an hour the union chiefman faced his tense audience. Alternately pleading for peace in the ranks of the nations toilers and shouting defiance of those "conservatives with personal and political ambition."
Green pointed out that the depression is over. Labor stands on the threshold of a better day, which would be hustled by union leaders to listen to the "humble voice of men and women in factories and shops pleading for better working conditions" and said the door to labor peace still was open rebel's wanted to come through.
Stepping easily into the role of a stern-school master, Green then almost screamed the Federation defiance of the insurgents. Waving a clenched fist in the air, tossing his head aggrily he said,
"Woe be it to him who strikes a blow at the heart of labor by driving a wedge into it-dividing it."

Flash! The Theta pledges gotta mouse, I didn't learn whether they really got one through the mail or not. The Thai is a bit fuzzy, but in either case it's a good go.
By the way, I smell a mouse. One of the Sigma Nu boys told me weeks ago that he had broken a date with Isabelle Bash to the Sigma Nu barn dance in order to take someone else. Bash retaliated by breaking the date with him as she had a date with a Beta boy to the Beta party. The Sigma Nu had another date for his party alright, but it was broken by the lady, a Pi Phi, a week before the party, according to another report. It was yesterday afternoon when I learned by phone call to the office of the Dean of Women that the Beta's didn't have a party authorized by that office Upon learning this, Bash said that the party was in Tongkonxie and the score couldn't figure out what the score is can't figure out what the score is
A few years ago a phone Russian count disturbed the tranquility of the Theta house and took the girls "out for the Count." but last week they were back in jail and didn't even come his activities to the one house
their activities. It seems that Betsy Eldison received an offer that Mr. C. L. Fisher of the Associated Press was on the first floor of the Theta house her. Upon meeting the gentleman, she was told that he had been sent by Betty Lou McFarland and Gertrude field of the Pi Phi house. After accepting his offer to ride up the Hill, Eldison subscribed to 88 worth of magazines to aid him in getting points with which to attend some school. Then someone else gave him the money of several of the other lassies about the Hill, to find out later that she really didn't want to buy the magazine at all but that he had out-talked her, can you imagine?
The net result of the crusade was; Betty Gibson, $19; Betty Elders, $8; McFarland, an unknown amount; Gertrude field get taken for $12; Katie Gillett get taken for $9; Jack Peggy Anne Landon for something but nobody knew what; and Betty Schwartz was taken out to lunch by the charming salesman after stating that she known her brother Dame Dame caught in the salesman's dragnet are: Jean Wyatt, Peggy Lynch, Betty Ruth Smith.

Allen, Potter Offer Schemes To Aid Athletes
One Would Place Limit On Competition, Other Comes Out Openly for Subsidization
I can place 35 or 40 men in soft, easy jobs right today, and I wish someone would call me on it." With this startling statement, M. Potter practically stole the show from the exhibition hall, for the substitution forum last night.
"Furthermore I can promote athletic scholarships as soon as the administration will permit.
Dr. F. C. Allen outlined the plan he has drawn up and placed before the National Association of College Admissions, where he hopes will meet the problem.
"We have had losing teams for years," said Porter, "but we can't blame the coaches. We have haters." The team's ideation rather than the coaches."
He said that five members of the freshman football squad are planning to quit next year and go to college. The players plan to leave, too," he added. He stated that some of the workers play from four to eight hours a day, and that some have had to leave because they cannot afford more.
Limit intercollegiate athletic competition to two years, the third and fourth years following matriculation. Limit competition in smaller colleges now allowing freshman play, to three years, and forbid matching these two types of schools against each other.
Some of the changes he proposed are:
Forbid on nation-wide scale the transfer of athletes from one college to another.
Raise the academic standard to where the athlete is making definite progress toward a degree.
"I am for athletic scholarships," he concluded, "but I am not for leveling to medicency. If you want scholarships, why not start aging for them? They may be against the rules, but you can change rules can't you?"
Bob Oyley, 37, president of the "K" club, said that at least a training table and a house in which to teach them are be furnished athletes in the school.
Charles H. Mullen, c39, spake against, and Gene Lloyd, c37, for subdualization, but the interest centered on Doctor Allen, head of the athletic department of the University, and Potter.

Better salaries for editorial workers and reporters were advocated by Walter N. Harris with a reportorial wage scale of $55 to $70 a week. Editors and publishers are short-sighted when they underpay reporters and spend much money for duplicating press services, he declared.

Dan Burdick, when questioned about it said, "the Rumors certainly lack substantiation. The 'honor system' has been in effect for the last ten or twelve years and has worked very well. If there has been any cheating, it certainly has not been reported to the committee which handles such grievances, nor to the 'sacculy."
A questionnaire is to be circulated between now and the time of examinations in January, the purpose of

Burdick Doubts Rumors
For the last ten or twelve years since the institution of the honor system in the School of Law, books and other personal belongings of the students have been left unmolested in the halls for indefinite periods of time until their owners should pick them up. The谜题 is very unknown. Examinations are given and taken without faculty surveillance, the student being on them at least not to cheat. On nearly there has been certain questioning of the "honor system", nothing definite has been said—no accusations have been made—nevertheless, certain rumors of cheating have drifted about.
A stage with four elevations has been constructed to give an appropriate setting. The concert is open to the public.

Secret Practice
Law Students Will Probe Into Criticism of 'Honor System'
which is to decide whether the system shall be continued. The Demon, when questioned on the point, said "Naturally, such a system cannot be improved." Students students. It is rather for them to impose it upon themselves.
"Each year," he continued, "there is a group of new students composing about one-third of the school. The co-operation of these students must be enlisted if the system is to be perpetuated. Therefore, it is customary to give the student permission to determine whether the system shall continue. That is the reason for this question-alive.
"Another thing, the student who sees cheating and does not report it is just as guilty under the 'honor system' as he who has cheated. It is an easy thing for a student who has made a low grade to say, if I had resorted to the methods some of them used—" But on the whole, I think the system has been屡创 successful. I bet students credit it to school, and I should like to see it instituted in the University as a whale.
"Of course," he said, "it is a small matter to the faculty and to me whether we maintain this system or not only in one respect; we believe that it is indicative of high individual character represented in the school."
George, the Cop,
Warns Against All
Risky Car Pranks
Pert little permanented heads perched precariously on the backs of rumble seats and dashing individuals clinging to the running boards of speeding cars are the pet aversion of George, the genial council cop.
George feels that such port heads and dashing individuals are in vast danger of becoming the subject of hospital reports about concussions, bruises and abrasions—and besides, they're violating a campus traffic regulation. They could also refrain that students would please relearn from such dangerous practices, and declares the intention of enforcing the law to the fullest.
Another of George's aversions is the speeding driver. As yet, he has tagged no one for speeding; as a result of his leniency, speeding on the campus has increased to the extent that arrests will be necessary. He has issued several warnings which will be followed by tickets.
Campus Problems Finals Tomorrow
The winner of the Campus Prob lence contest conducted by the speed and dramatic art department will be billed as the winner of night in Flrase theater at 8 o'clock.
The ten competitors in the finals of the contest were chosen from a field of 25 contestants in the tryouts held last Thursday afternoon in Green hall, and will discuss a variety of topics. The team will be found on the University campus
The speakers will be Irving Kass, c'39; Martin Maloney, c'37; J. V. Mann, c'anel; Donald Meterz, c'38; Jewell Millman, c'37; Dean Moorhead, c'38; Paul Morris, c'39; Philip Voorhees, c'39; Thorpe, c'39; Donald Voorhees, c'39.
Judges for the contest will be: Professor W. S. Johnson of the English department; Professor W. E. Sandelius of the political science department, and Raymond Nichol, executive officer in the Chancellor's office.
The contest was originated in 1925 by Professor E. C. Buehler of the department of speech and dramatic art, and has for several years been under the direction of Miss Maragaret Hornbower. Great interest has been evident among speakers on the campus in regard to the contest, and the general public learns of the more serious problems through the speeches offered. Throughout the history of the contest, two groups have participated each year. Several of the entrants this year competed in the contest last year.
Mary Pickford Will Wed Rogers
