Of all the childish pranks ever pulled at this University this habit of throwing pennies on the floor between halves of a basketball game when someone is entertaining is the worst. The first time it occurred it got some laughs. Since then a few of the lower intellects have taken it up and have made a habit of it.
The fact that the habit does not have the approval of the students was shown last night when the few who persisted in keeping it up were hissed and booed by the crowd. It is nothing less than a personal affront to the entertainer to be annoyed in this way, especially when the entertainment is as good as it was last night.
Added to this there is the possibility that personal harm may be brought about as a result of this childish game. A player running could easily slip on one of those tokens of some student's generosity, and a fall might mean serious injury.
PRINCETON STUDY PLAN
When people go to college they are supposed to be in some measure past the ways of childhood.
PRINCETON STUDY PLAN
"I seem aboard that a corporation is to which a young man goes inquire about his college leaves should be able to him eight or ten hours of diligent, hard work and efficient work each day, and think of criticizing it; whereas many of our young men " * * in all universities, will complain that, if they do every day three hours of work outside their class room duties it is placing too heavy a burden upon them."
For this reason, John Grier Hilben,
president of Princeton University,
defends the upperclass plan of study
which for the last year has been on
trial at Princeton.
The article, in the February number of the Intercollegiate World, is in answer to the criticism of alumni or the number of sophomores failing to be promoted to the junior year.
This plan is based on the principle that a freshman entering the university, strangely to its customs and excuses, is very much less able to maintain a desirable standard of scholarship than the second or third or fourth year man. For that reason, freshmen are allowed to continue in their sophomore year with a higher percentage of conditions than that with which sophomores may advance to the standing of juniors.
Freemen may each semester receive three conditions out of the five courses they are taking, and remain in their class, provided that at the end of the year they have no more than four conditions in the eleven courses they have taken.
By the beginning of the sophomore year work is based on a qualitative and not a quantitative basis.
A junior who fails in two or his courses in one semester cannot enter the senior class.
There are five grades of attainment into which the students are divided—those in the higher grades being given concessions in regard to promotion.
This is the outline of the upper class system, a system which is designed to develop individual initiative and responsibility.
But grades are not the only criteria. A special committee of faculty and advisers in determining whether a student will be allowed to advance to the next class, also
consider carefully the rate of individual improvement.
The new plan of study is more than a raising of scholarship standards. It rests upon the fundamental principle that a university should store and train the minds of its students in conditions they will meet out of school.
The system is an endearer to develop men who will be able to use their minds as an instrument of requiring knowledge and solving problems which will later confront them. It is an endearer to stimulate the exhibition of undergraduates and present to them a goal which they will be willing to attain.
MASCULINE LIBERTY
"Women dress more scientifically than men, because they allow more sunlight to strike their bodies," says Dr. M. Levine, nutrition expert at Creighton University. Then the doctor elaborates on his theories, and even goes so far as to recommend that men wear silk clothing as in the revolutionary period in America.
Men have always been held down by convention to an even greater extent than women, but they never would admit it. Now perhaps they will see their folly, since Doctor Levine has pointed out the dangers of wearing wool and cotton the year round. If they do awake to the necessity of wearing light clothing in warm weather as women do, we shall be prepared to see six foot giants, with their legs encased in fine silk stockings, complemented by knee breeches of blue or "perhaps pink anin, and sililk silks, cut, with a "v" in the back and a "c" in the front.
What a colorful and thoroughly delightful affair meeting of a board of directors will be, and the dull gatherings of the average Rotary Club will become a masculine Penckey Alley. From a feminine viewpoint, however, the fly in the ointment will be that men will usurp the position of women in the world as leaders of fashion, and even go so far as to obtain a monopoly on all the fine fabrics in the market.
But these objections are over weighed by the prospective joy of seeing the men silenced in criticism of women's wearing apparel. How much more comfortable the world will be when men and women dress so nearly alike that the man won't have any chance to talk about the immutability of women's clothing.
ON WITH THE DANCE
For a short time today some University students forgot the Charlotte and the jazz orchestra. When Rufus E. Terry, an old country fiddle from Kansas City, Kam, drew his bow across the strings of his hildie there echoed good old tunes of long ago that made the crowd of students in the news room of the journalism building forget the present.
Tunes of the past, tunes that our grand-daddies the old-time square and circle dance to years ago in hay-cayed barn lofts, sounded through the building while many feet patterned accompaniment. Famous old tunes, ever new, captured the hearts 'f all.
"The Arkansas Traveler," *Turkey in the Stirr*," and "Money Mack" were irresistible. Under the direction of a University student and the old fiddler the students formed lines and danced the old dances. While the fiddler danced and called off the youngsters "circled," "turned," and "promenaded," to the tunes at periwigged oldsters did in other days. The dances were vigorous, "more athletic and less confidential" than the dances perpetrated to the mounding of the telephone of today. They were lovely bits of yesterday, the times dear to our grandparents transported to our age.
The old country fiddler and the old time dances have almost disappeared. Henry Ford's campaign to revive interest in the old-fashioned dances of our grand parents and the holding of numerous contents over the country to find the champion old time dancers, show a new interest in the old dances. Perhaps they will not die, but will live again. Certainly they are lovely forms of entertainment. On with the old fashioned dances.
There will be an important meeting of the Sociology Club in room 201 west Administration building, at 4 e-phone, Friday, Feb. 16. Every member is welcome to attend.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY:
A survey recently completed among the students of the University of Montana showed that the University men spend an average of $643.52 a year while the women spend only $80.47 a year on board and unicefannian expenses cause the men's account to rise while the women's average $650.90 for clothes each year than the men.

Why should we as students of today sweep away with one blow an old institution which has worked at the University for ten or fifteen years? We should not be a school of idol worshippers and be closed to conviction, faith and love. Our system is a more pretext. If we can offer no better system, let's adopt the "may-say fair" policy and graint and bear it—R. T.

Campus Opinion
A recent "Campus Opinion" attempted to show to the students of the University the work and undesirable aspects of the campus on the Hill. White I do not wish to start a battle in the column of the Kauan with its author, I feel that there are few things which should be in defense of politics as they exist.

To the Editor:
Unfortunately, the opinion printed Monday failed to offer a remedy for the situation, which the author claims is working against efficiency, the best interests of all the students and demos holders, or that it was done as dutifully a thing as that! However, the editorial printed last night, in a round-about-way, suggested a petition system of nomination or some other method as one means of acquiring votes. In course, everyone knows that a petition system is impossible, as the same old political machines would grind out petitions for previously selected candidates quite as early as possible, with accommodations in the next.

The University of California had a one-man club club last week. All the members of the club but one resigned in sympathy with the former director.
So far, no feminine augmentation for a solution has been offered, and the present system is better than none at all. Still there are those who would advance immediate change without a better system to take the place of the existing order. The present system is pretty good, and it has been worked out with the users over several years. Then why give it up now without the consideration?
