A TRADITION NO MORE
Hobo Day, long a University tradition, is no more. For the first time in many years, Homecoming and the Missouri game will come and go without the hundreds of outlandish costumes, the care-free cheering, the bonfires, the cutting of classes, and the general freedom from restrictions that have marked the celebrations of the past. And in return for the giving up of Hobo Day, the students have been granted a somewhat more satisfactory vacation schedule, yet one that comes within the limits required by scholastic standards.
Hobo Day, unlike some of the newer University "traditions," was spontaneous in its origin. It grew out of the "Doe Yak" rally which was held for the first time in 1922 for the purpose of displaying enthusiasm concerning the approaching Missouri game. Each succeeding year the demonstration took on a more definite form, and in 1924 the idea of wearing hobo costumes on the Hill was evolved. Finally in 1829 the Men's Student Council provided for an annual "Hobo Day" in its constitution.
But whether good or bad, it has gone by the boards, at least for the present.
In that it represented a crystalizing of student sentiment and student spirit toward a common goal, thus proving itself a worthwhile University tradition the passing of Hobo Day is to be regritted. In that it provided students an excuse for cutting classes needlessly, for destroying property, and for causing a great deal of unnecessary trouble, its passing is to be acclaimed.
SCYLLA AND CHARYBDIS
Inflation seems to be on the way, now that Dr. O. M. W. Sprague has resigned as special financial adviser to the treasury. With the strongest opponent of inflation out of the way President Roosevelt has a fairly clear field for his monetary program.
In the camp of the economists, half of the learned men are enthusiastically in favor of a policy of inflation, while the other half are violently opposed. To some, inflation is the one thing that can bring back prosperity, and to others, it is the sure way to plunge the country into chaos.
The choice between inflation and deflation must be made. If the President and his financial advisers believe that the former policy is preferable, the people should support the administration and help in every way possible to preserve the equilibrium between prices and the value of the dollar.
Since the real danger in both inflation and deflation is that they may be carried too far, the check which public opinion can exert on the government is that of a rudder to steer the country safely between the disaster which would follow an uncontrolled monetary program of either inflation or deflation.
LOOKING AHEAD
A new step forward in handling of boys in state reformatories is being established at the state reformatory at Boonville, Missouri. At this institution, baseball, football and other athletics are being intro duced. Inter-institutional athletics are encouraged and have a place in the curriculum. This theory is called "humanized training."
There are no walls around this institution. The guards are not even armed. In fact, a visit there leaves the impression of having seen a college campus. This sort of training and treatment gives these unfortunate boys a chance for self-development, tends to create sportsmanship, and does away with the possibility of an inferiority complex developed by being called "a reformatory inmate." By living like other boys throughout the country, these youngsters are given a much better chance for a successful life after they are released.
The plan is working well at Boonville. There have been but a few runaways and no major disturbances there since it went into effect. Other states should follow the example set by Missouri and give the boys who are sent to such institutions a fair chance to develop into useful citizens.
"No Voice On Gold," reads a Kansa City Star headline. And here we had always thought—"money talked."
SCOREBOARD EFFICIENCY
To many of the spectators, the all enjoyment of the football game last Saturday was marred by the slow recording of plays by he men at the official scoreboard.
The fourth quarter, for example, was not recorded as having begun until six minutes of it had been played. Downs, yards to go, and team in possession of the ball were equally slow in appearing correctly on the board.
It is quite confusing to spectators, who at times rely on the board to relay correct information on the progress of the game, to glance casually at the board and learn that it is still first down and ten to go, when the headlinesman's indicator says third and two.
With the Homecoming game on the horizon the progress of the game might be more entertaining and interesting for spectators and alumni if the scoreboard were kept more in line with the progress of the game.
it has been done before.
FIELD TRIPS
Judging from the newspapers, "he who loves and runs away, does not live many days."
One of the greatest benefits a student receives during his days of learning is the actual experience he gets from taking field trips. He has a chance to put into practice the theory that he has spent a great deal of time learning, or to find out that it is not entirely as practical as he had been led to believe; at any rate he grasps something of the real situation that will confront him in his future work.
A geology student can learn more about glacier boulders by seeing their straied sides than by reading about them in books, even as a reporter can gain more self-possession from interviewing the governor of the state than from reading several interviews written by skilled newspaper men. The fact remains, though, that University work is necessary so that the student can get a background for comprehending the "why's" of what he sees on such trips and that he can get a general education.
Now that the college has decided to give the handsmen credit, special consideration should be given to the tuba players.

between city houses Sunday afternoon, winter descended unheralded on the Hill. Rushing in the wake of this wind, it routed the lazily lingering Indian summer climate early in the afternoon.
REV. M. T. HOFFMAN, Spiritual Adviser.
In its pale diffused sunlight it accentuated the bleakness of landscape, heretofore un-noticed in the golden warmth of Indian summer. Immediately, too, it set this passive world into action, its wind lifting everything in its path and power, carrying it through the air, and depositing it at random.
A more moderate wind greets the students on the Hill these mornings, but there is the sting of winter in its contact that leaves no doubt in the mind as to which coat to wear. Winter has made its advent on the Hill.
The landcape became enveloped in a dusty haze of dust storms. The thick carpets of brown brittle leaves that covered every wooded plot make substantial whirlwinds that moved in restless flurries from place to place. Monday morning found a number of classrooms where windows had been left open blanketed by dried leaves and a film of gritty dust.

Honor System
The Daily last year conducted an intensive survey of the faculty's position on a possible honor system at the University of Michigan. That survey showed: the majority of the older and more experienced faculty members are unalterably opposed to the suggestion; the younger men are undecided but are "willing to take a chance" with the system; the professors in courses dependent upon essay writing in examinations, such as English, are more inclined to favor the idea than professors in courses not dependent upon essay writing in mathematics; the number of men in important positions who oppose the plan is so large that, regardless of student opinion, the system will not be accepted at Michigan.
We don't think it should be accepted here. There is no insult to students in proctoring at examinations, and the honest students know it. The proctor at an examination is in the same position as a policeman walking his beat. The policeman is there to protect the honest citizen from the advantages the dishonest person may feel inclined to take. That is the function which the dishonest student performs. The dishonest student is in a minority at this University just as the dishonest citizen is in a minority in this city, so some dishonest students do exist. Because of them the honor system should not be introduced—Michigan Daily
