TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT
THURSDAY, SEPT. 22, 1927
If the football tail is wagging the college dog, then the prize-fitting one on the end of that dog's tail is rocking the whole universe.
Tonight is the night of nights. Promptly at 9:30 Chicago time, Jack Dempsey will step into a ring and, no doubt the audience of 150,000 ruh-rum men and women, will swear a bedroom wallfall in the direction of Gene Tunney. Thousands of people the world over will listen in an Gene Swede, a responding snuck to Dempsey' eye. Millions more will read in the morning papers of the knock-out mask that will send one of the pugilistic millionaires to an untimely rest.
And after the fight—the three million dollars of receipts will be divided, Tunney will be paid his flat guarantee of one million dollars. Dempsey will receive his money $450,000. Tex Richard will wink his eye and walk with his hand in his pocket.
Compensation — but for what?
Work? Yes, thirty minutes at the most. Worry? Yes, plenty of that. Responsibility? No! Not one vital reason is there why either of the two should be the conqueror. If both could be defeated, no hurt would result, no lives would be held, no tears would be shed. Yet one person who has million-wide responsibilities and in some measure world-wide responsibilities—the president of the United States—is receiving less than five dollars for his services during that same thirty minutes.
Simply but surely the fighters' boots have been raised from a few paltry thousands up to the million mark. Hang! There lies the secret spring. Physical presence will soon find itself bat. The title of public reaction is bound to set in.
GLORIFYING THE IDEA
GLORIFYING THE IDEA
An idea is a sacred thing. It is the central factor in democracy—an essential to all true progress.
Brightly formed, an idea is the result of full and impartial information, impartially received, critically weighed, and rationally determined. Without such ideas, democracy is a myth of ignorance. Without an opportunity to form such ideas, true democracy is impossible.
Tonight the first of a series of evening forums, sponsored by the University Y. M. C. A., will be held at 7:00 in Myers hall. Oliver Driven, secretary of the International Fellowship of Reconciliation, will bring to the students of the University a message on one of the most significant factors in modern society—the Christian religion.
His message is one that is worthy of consideration, for he has dealt directly with society at its lowest state, among the bates and prejudices prevalent in European areas of reconstraint. Pacifist and militarist, skeptic and theologian, can profit all from the ideas Mr. Dryer presents.
Mr. Dreyer's visit is the forerunner of similar visits by many men of note, all brought to the campus through the efforts of the Y, M, C, A, so that students may have the opportunity of performing that function as essential
to American citizenship- that or thinking, critically and intelligently. In these forums thoughts will be presented that a limited curriculum and pre-occupied study hour cannot provide. That these opportunities may be made greater this year, the Y, M, C, M. A. can adopted a budget for forum speakers increased by half over that last year. It is putting forth greater effort to secure the best of authority, so that its program is a growing one. The student's opportunity to secure first-hand information and to develop an intelligent citizenship is, therefore, constantly increasing.
In classes the student is taught how to think. In these extra-curricular forums the Y, M, C, A, is providing a fertile field for the exercise of this power developed in curricular work. The University Y, M, C, A. should be commended for its movement to glorify the idea among students at the University.
THE NEW CAFETERIA
The University Cafeteria in its new location and under new management is to be run on a non-profit making funds this year—a welcome bit of news to those who take meals on the Hill.
A look at the prices listed on the bill of fare will convince the skeptic that a decided change has taken place at the cafeteria. A comparison of prices show ice cream last year 10 cents, this year six cents, means that sold last year, for 18 cents are now priced 12 cents and sandwiches have been reduced from 15 to 10 cents. Similar reductions have been made upon other foods. However, patrons say that the portions served are larger than last year.
More than this, the wages of the employees have been raised five cents on the hour. And notice the number of people that eat at the Commons this year, seven to eight hundred, while last year often not more than four hundred were served. Surely this indicates warm public approval of the new system installed.
True, it is an experiment the management is trying out, but the increased patronage ensures the new cafeteria of the public's support and with an efficient management the former Commons will become the most popular dining hall on the campus.

The eap tradition is an old one. The wearing of the little skull piece has been an experience inseparable from university life, full of things that are amusing to recall in later years. Perhaps to some of us they have aroused and will arouse painful recollections.
Editorial of the Day
It is the will of student opinion that students on the Hill for the first year with less than thirty hours credit be required to wear the little blue cap with the white button designating a college student; the yellow button the engineer, and the red, the pharmacy or pre-medical student. Quite often it has been the practice to deprive the freshmen of certain privileges on the Hill such as smoking and having a date. Fair play calls for all included by the ruling to observe whatever regulations are decided by the organizations in charge.
DON'T BELIEVE IT

Every year at the time of security pledge week, some new paper springs the old story of the poor little girl who got left out of the running because she ate a piece of the lettuce under her salad. This time the Ottawa Herald, we believe it was, rebuilt the story, the scene of the sad social error being the dulling hall of a sorrow house at the University of Kansas. We don't believe the story, never have, and never shall, despite our admiration for the Ottawa Herald and its sprightly editorial page. The poor, dear little freshman girl over whom so many sympathetic team have been

WhoWill Sell Programs?

With the advent of the football season, two important active Hill organizations begin to demand considerable attention from the students and their wives at athletic events. These are two groups of athletes of the Edison II Kilton National pep fraternity, and the Iowa State women' pep society.
The functions of these two meetings has been to provide entertainment between halves of the games, cell programs and lead in rallies. Every fraternity of the Hill is responsible for providing our cent no-fraternity membership. The Jay James no similarly organized.
This year the athletic department threatens to curtail one of their child activities. That is the selling of football programs at the games thereby denying them the opportunity of taking one trip with the team to a foreign field. This was a major petition program selling athletes. The reason for the denial was to give athletes a chance to earn commissions selling the programs.
A meeting of the joint committees on student affairs in the dew of women's office yesterday failed to bring satisfaction in request for the committee to have handled this task well, add color to an athletic occasion and have rendered
