Oppose Elimination Of Affairs But Urge Cutting "To
Sachems For Parties Simplified To Minimum
Limit"
Sentiment in favor of simplifying all University class parties and dances was expressed last night at the meeting of the Sachems, senior class society, at the Acacia house, and the organization took a stand in favor of cutting down such social affairs to a minimum admission price with the elimination of all expensive features.
The complete abolishment of class parties, such as the Junior Prom, and regular University dances, was frowned upon by the Sachems, who argued that recreation and amusement in some form is just as essential now as before the war if not more so. They said occasional mention of the war's problems appear simperative and for that reason voted in favor of "affairs as usual" but simplified to the lowest possible extent.

President Brandenburg has appointed G. W. Trout, of the Normal faculty, to theumn among the Permanent of the school.

Freshman Candidates Report In Large Numbers For
Quintet
"The freshman attendance is very good," said coach R. V. Cook, "all but one or two of the R. men are coming out regularly and when we get time for a little basket practice we'll make the Varsity work. We're giving them pretty good competition right now when it comes to floor work."
Practice last night was shortened considerably to let the Soph Hoppers practice some "stunts" for tonight. Neither team showed any exceptional goal shooting although the Varsity team outclassed in this department.
"Varsity men had better get to work," is the warning of coach Uhrlub, who plays football will be out practice naxx for varsity some hard competition."
The floor work of the two squares was about the same, the freshmen having the ball a good share of the first round. The difficulty did the most accurate passing.
