Freshmen Favor Donning of Caps, Is Latest Rumor
Oenthusiastic Response I Principal Feature of Latest Frost Agitation
"The reasons for the temporary failure of the wearing of the freshman cap is due to the lack of any uniform in the uniform," Packard this morning. "Most of the freshmen are in favor of the plan but everyone is waiting for the first cap."
The freshman fail to realize that the wearing of the caps will be only for this spring and that the plane are not permitted on our own class with the aid of Schem.
"The upperclassmen are not taking the loyal attitude in regard to the wearing of the caps but are raising the price of the caps because of the failure of the appearance of the caps are the inability to buy caps at the upperclassmen's enforcement in the organized house."
Upperclassmen Are Not Loyal
The freshman commission has a set of plans for the future they feel will work out. They hope to get the board to approve the end, the agreement of the freshmen to wear their caps one certain day of the week or one certain week to show their faith and support of the plan in their school. The freshmen pledge their aid in future years, third, if the whole plan should not go through this year because of the lack of time left in the school year the teacher would be dropped until next fall.
Committee Given Power
Committee Given Power

A., conference to which they went as delegates. Dean Amos of the University of Michigan said as saying, "College is made up of junior friends of learning, the undergraduates, and senior friends of learning." He added that cooperation must be cooperation for success."

It was the general opinion of the conference that although the group system has not been entirely successful this year it is much needed and there is much to be gotten from it. A plan formulated at a meeting of the teachers may afterward meet with the approval of the junior and senior women.
Possible changes in the present point system method did not meet with great favor. Other and more elaborate systems of other schools were explained but none were deemed suitable for our campus. Over-organization and the probibiting of ma
for activities during the first semester
of university work were the proba
tions discussed in relation to this syse
The cause of small attendance at vocational lectures was discussed, and an attempt to find out what subjects the women would be interested in was made to the effect that the women students need to be educated to appreciate these lectures. The merits of a vocational week over a weekend throughout the year were considered.
The failure of the big sister movement of our campus to accomplish what other similar organizations of other schools have done was discused. A new system is to be put into operation next week which may help. Upperclassmen have not been impressed with the responsibility and honor of their position as big sisters to the freshmen.

served following the meeting.

Scholar's Duty Pointed Out
"It is possible to know the word,
and it can pass easily, however," said the speaker. "This is what the scholar does."
The scholar's duty, according to President Bryan, is to know the worst of human suffering, fight poverty and disease with knowledge, for he must know the physical hall and yet be unfaired. Elijah, a resident of the town above the万幅 thousands, were cited as examples of great men who had the bitterness of experience, and who were willing to sacrifice.
The present age was characterized by the conversation speaker as being in which great quantities of energy were being used in countless ways. The greatest trouble, however, is to develop the self-control
