To be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be respectful; to be wise; to lead wisely; in all, to serve to the nation; and in all, to study the students of the University.

THE VOLUNTEERS
As we complain in having to go from class to class in this kind of weather, do we think of the one hundred or more University men in the coal fields? Coal mining with the thermometer where it stands now is not classed as a winter sport. After a day of dirty, back-breaking work in the wet, cold strip nines instead of a warm room and a hot radiator to get clubby at night, there s a tent. Tenta are nice in summer.
A few persons say, "Oh they are having a fine time." That is a very good remark and helps us to forget about them for we don't like to think of our friends being uncomfortable for our sake. But as you go home from the library tonight, (if you have the courage to venture to the library) just imagine you were going to your home sweet house tent.
FROM PIGEON VILLAGE
"Floating Hotels Furnish Homes for Many Persons"—Headline. Which brings to mind the fact that if the rooming situation becomes much more congested around the University, we can build house boats on Potter Lake for the roomless student.
FROM PILEON VILLAGE
Most of us are familiar with the woven rug rug, but it has remained for the Thayer Art Collection to show us the artistic values of the drawn,
or hooked, rug.
Our Colonial women wove their rag carpets, and chrocheted or braided many interesting mats. But one day some one wanted something more attractive, something with the picture quality. Maybe she had seen a bit of wonderful Oriental work. She certainly had the changing arabesque of nature before her eyes. Might not the humdum carpet-rags somehow be made to gratify her desire? Was there no other way than to wear or braid the familiar material?
She took a good piece of coarse sacking and stretched it on a rude frame. Then she drew a design upon it, perhaps with a piece of keel from the brook, and it was very simple, no doubt, very child-like and crude. She selected some old woollen clothing that answered to the colors she had in mind and tore them into carpet-strips. Then with her stout homemade crochet hook she drew one strip at a time, having folded theravelings into the center, in short close loops into the canvas, defining her outlines. The figures were filled in solidly in a conventional attempt at light and shade, the background was provided, loop by loop, and row after row, in some solid contrasting color, and though she did not dream what she
had done, a very important advance had been made in American art.
Our collection includes some very fine specimens from Pigeon Village on the Massachusetts' coast, a place beloved by lovers of America. They are about seventy-five years old, and there are conventional floral designs, quaint effects, some of them suggesting the old sampler motifs. The borders are wrought out in geometrical combinations and clever straight lines, everything has the stamp of individuality, and there is one landscape creation that Mrs. Thayra says is as perfectly good in its way as an old Flemish tapestry
The colors in all this work are soft and beautiful, comparing most favorably with the Oriental rugs, for anaerobic dyes had not yet come in, and every piece has its countless suggestions for the student of design or the more lover of the beautiful. Examples made in various places during more recent years have usually been drawn on burlap roady stamped in commercial designs and atrocious colors, and they have very little merit beyond their great durability. If the genuine art could be revived it would be an invesible boon to women of slender man who would like to express themselves in some really artistic way, yet who fail to find the opportunity.
Why should not our department of Home Economics do something in this direction? A single girl could get a whole community awakened and inspired.
We hope that the Russians will appreciate our generosity in returning Emma Goldman after enjoying her society for thirty years.
HOW TO SAVE COAL
With the coal mines operating at less than half normal and with the fuel administration calling us to conserve the precious black nuggets, it might be well for us to consider some of the important factors in conserving the limited supply.
Of course we all have our own idea of how the situation should be handled but a greater head has arisen to meet the crisis. He outlines a cure in the following "Suggestions":
Don't use Coal on your breakfast-
food. Besides being an unexcusable
waste it fails to properly stimulate
the brain cells.
Don't smoke Coal in your brier pipe Grape Nuts or "Finecut" may be found a pleasing substitute.
For use in the fireplace, grind the lumps into a powder and place it in salt shakers at each end of the mantel. Then sprinkle it on the teebol of coals every fifteen minutes at 24 hour intervals.
Call your coal dealer on the phone every two hours about that load of coal you ordered last night. If he fails to promise immediately delivery tell him its all his fault and why didn't he anticipate the needs of the town.
If you do not have a vault in the house it would be wise if you placed a guard at each cellar door and window during the hours of the night. When next winter rolls round be sure to wait until December before ordering a cellar full. Then cuss if you don't get it.

Guide To Odd Gifts
Nancy thinks her boarding school is the most heavenly place on earth. She puts in her spare time thinking up queer things to do to her room to get the right atmosphere. An incense burner of some queer Oriental princess would get the piece of honor on her mantle. The atmosphere it would produce would be the envy of all her friends, and she would have of having one too for that would be copying; mercy no book stores and jewelers sell these dispensers of sweet odors for somewhere between three and five dollars.

THE DANGER TO EDUCATE
President John Grier Hibben of Princeton University announced today to faculty and students a letter from Herbert Hoover;
"I am indeed glad to have an opportunity to bid you god-speed in your drive to increase the income of Princeton University. As a trustee of another university in precisely the same difficulties as Princeton, it has been my duty to give some attention to the internal situation that has grown up under it," said Mr. Prudence as part of the depreciation of the dollar but also due to the constantly enlarging pressure to handle larger numbers of students.
"The inquiries that I have made of Princeton show that the same situation exists there as in many other institutions, and that they wholly underpaid, that even actual privation is in course amongst the junior professors, and that the university is totally unable, with its present administration, to accommodate the applicants at its door.
"Throughout our educational institutions the faculty does not expect to be paid more than one-third or one-half of the sums which they could earn in commercial and professional life. This is the inherent sacrifice that

ons always been given by men of this character towards education, but when this sacrifice extends to actual privacy and inability to live in reasonable comfort and make any provision for it becomes a danger to the community.
"The danger lies in the inability to secure such quality of men in this country," said Mr. Wendy Jensen, a mission as will maintain the standards of our institutions, and upon those standards depend more than anything else the whole standards of our nation.
