FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 20, 1914. TOO MUCH POSTER With placards, cards, and signs on posts, trees, and fences, the approaches to Mount Oread are sorry sights. Adams street and Oread avenue, littered with paper and strewn with advertising cards form no very attractive pathway to our institution of culture. Every day aesthetic students shy at the hysterical array. Protests of sensible professors go unheeded. Wisdom is knowing what to do next. Skill is knowing how to do it. And Virtue is doing it—David Starr Jordan. Bill boards for posting bulletins and cards should be provided immediately at convenient places near and on the campus. We believe that the Student Council and the faculty will back us up in a demand that a change be made. The time is at hand for a cleanup. Student sentiment is against such advertising. City ordinances, as well as good taste, are being violated; But first let us have the law in the matter enforced. DEGREES FOR MEDICS Sometime the College basketball team will win a game on a foreign court and then everybody will have heart failure. Should Medics receive both A. B. and M. D. degrees at the end of six years? This is the present rule but for several years there has been considerable agitation of the question and a change seems probable when the faculty of the College meets next month. The change, whatever it is, may be for the best, but one thing stands out clearly; those students now enrolled in medicine, who came here and laid their plans according to the old system, should not be deprived of their A. B. degree. About the time we began to congratulate ourselves on having safely passed Friday, the 13th of February, we happen to notice the date of the second Friday in March. TABOOS Moderation should be used in clamping on more taboos by the powers that be. Taboos and rules are all right, and without them the student body would probably burn itself up in one grand, continuous round of absurd and uncontrolled amusement, but too many restrictions defeat their own end. The Student Council, the University Council, and the city council all seem to be trying to outdo each other with restrictions while too little attention is paid to constructive benefits such as the Student Union. Aren't we about good enough for awhile now? This University does not necessarily have to be the chief experiment station in the continual discussion, passing, and breaking of rules. We are already far in the lead of most of the adjoining universities. The increasing murmur of dissatisfaction and the increasing tendency to disregard many of the rules should not go entirely heeded Laxity and severity seem to run to extremes. The authorities seem inclined to believe that in past years supervision has been entirely too lax. Wherefore, with the splendid start we now have, there may well be a natural tendency to go to the opposite extreme. It's much better to stop at the right time than go too far and have to retract and modify, or not enforce. And now comes the red line on the library book; but it does not do away with the red tape in procuring a book. WEEK-ENDS We believe that there are few institutions in college more desirable than the "week-end." A man who has failed to buck all through the week can make up work on Saturday and Sunday; those of us who have been grinding from Monday to Friday can relax for a few days. For many of us, the week-end means merely a concentrated change from the rest of the week; if we have been studying hard we suddenly drove ourselves out of we have been bit lazy we throw ourselves violently into our studies. Our suggestion is this: that we do not indulge in any acrobatic stunts, mental or otherwise, but take ourselves naturally. Suppose we did relax a bit, we could profit by being aware of the things of the past week, or seek relief in different work—Wisconsin Cardinal. MICHIGAN HAS LARGEST UNION The Michigan Students Union has twenty-eight hundred voluntarily paid memberships, and is the largest union in the country. In twelve months it has entertained 60,000 persons. It has staged 600 separate and distinct social events, dances, dinners, lectures, banquets, and meetings. The Union is now conducting a big campaign for funds to be used in building a permanent Michigan Union club-house—Daily Illini. ENDS AND ODDLETS "Federal's Cut Off General Villa's Base," says a headline. It is about time to stop those Mexican atrocities. B. Jester is on the staff of the Daily Texas. First name is probably Wood. 一 "Kynewisbok on Business Basis."—Denver Clarion. Some basis needed for a name like that. Since there hasn't been enough snow for the laws and the engineers to stage their annual battle, the deal is less likely. The economic might furnish some biscuits. The Purdue Exponent advertises "the shaving kids." Little shavers as it were. "Home Rule Big Issue in Parliament," says a headline. Give these domestic questions time and they will get almost anywhere. Two suits of armour are now on the way to the museum—Purdue Experiment. FASHION NOTE "The Devil" is being played at theatres in the cast according to news reports, and we rise to remark that it is also being played right into office with office reports tastes the University Kansas—Winfield Courier. The Sociology Club met last evening and gifts of a sociological nature were exchanged. The meeting was entirely of a social nature. Games were played and stories told, and a general good time was had by all present—Syracuse Dally Orange WHAT'S THE JOKE? OR BOILT THE MANAGER A western exchange comes out with a glaring headline, "Toast the Trustees." "Pigs is pig's," but the so called country sausage isn't.

CONSTERNATION. —Exchange. CONSTERNATION DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR Every student, during his college career, takes one or two courses that seem a poor investment of time and energy. Often this is the fault of the student, but there are too many instances when the instructor fails to do a full share of his or her part. Departments which have several classes in the course under differing conditions, too often fail to establish a standard procedure. That is, an instructor will teach constructively and help his listeners to clear up important points, while the section which meets at the next hour will go day in and day out to quiz congress, with which leaves even doubts. The teacher only to meet what the individual student does not know on the subject and often fails to help him come to a definite conclusion. Of course there are subjects which should be taught in this manner, and there are students who need this sort of instruction. But there should be more or less of a standard, because there are plenty of cases where one instructor teaches the subject constructively with happy results, while the other instructor reaps failures. The average student wants to understand his subject rather than battle for grades. Most of us want more than the bald statements of the text. The lecture element should be developed to its greatest possibilities.—University of Washinton Daily. Agritation has begun at Michigan University for a new Michigan union club house and intentions are to start a campaign for life memberships to cover the cost of construction, building life membership, the dues for which are $10 per year for five years—University of Washington Daily. The officials of the University of Michigan and of the colleges of that state are agitating the establishment of circular "dry zones" surrounding each college. no saloon being permitted nearer than five miles. Oatmeal; breakfast food; hope of the $100 a year student; landlady's delight; food of the psychology chicks. There were fourteen less medical schools in the United States in 1913 than in 1912, about one thousand two hundred fewer students , and about five hundred fewer graduates. Eligibility rules have caused the Ohio State University quartet to shrink to a university soloist. The University of Washington could furnish an entire regiment of 1,500 soldiers with its complement of fifty-one officers' for immediate service in Mexico, if President Wilson should issue a call for volunteers. The University of Missouri Glee Club started on a three weeks' trip to the Pacific coast, February 1, as guests of the Santa Fe. Twelve foreign countries and every state in the Union except Nevada are represented in Yale's enrollment this year.
