WAITERS MAKE PROTEST
Students at University of Chicago Make Demands
Student waiters in the Commons at the University of Chicago are protesting against wearing a badge and against having to "punch the time clock" on the ground that it lowers the temperature of other students. The Daily Maroon is against the abolition of the two practices and is having a skirmish with the waiters' grievance committee. Following is a petition of the waiters:
THE WAIT 'To the Editor:
"The Daily Maroon through its news and editorial columns has endeavored to enlighten the public on the situation at the Commons. But it has thus far succeeded only in making considerable noise about it. The chairman of the commons said he wishes to submit a thimbleful of light on the subject."
"All the impoite (modesty is a great virtue) assertions made by The Daily Maroon about the waiters' snobbishness and blushing at honest labor will be taken with a grain of salt when they accuse it, but will be well to add that the waiters never have threatened to strike. The facts in the case from which the reader may draw his own conclusion are embodied in the following petition presented to the management of the Commons about three weeks ago. The waiters are still on account of lack of space. It merely sets forts the good will of the waiters toward the management.
NOT PROFESSIONAL SERVANTS
"Chairman of Grievance Committee.
"The committee begs leave to sub-
mit."
"It desires, first of all, to call the attention of the management to the social position of the waiters in the University. In the University life, scholastically and socially, the waiters deem themselves on a par with the other students of the University, and seriously advise which of them to cause themselves to feel and others to consider them as professional servants, and hence below that plane. But altogether they fully realize and acknowledge that while performing the duties of a waiter they must render obedience to authority and give respectful attention to them, and in accomplish this without doing those things which distinguishes them as professional servants.
DON'T LIKE INSIGNIA
"Those things which they believe distinguishe them as professional servants are, the button, which they are now required to wear, and the
"punching of the time clock." They believe that they are justified in objecting to doing these things because, they believe that they do not serve any useful purpose.
It is obvious the button does not, because the number cannot be distinguished as well as the number written in pencil on the jacket. The only purpose that it serves is to give you the insignia of professionals. Neither can they see how it conduces to the efficiency of the service to punch the time clock, which is another thing which they feel and believe to distinguish them as officers. The system it is necessary to rely upon the reports of the head waiter.
ASK FOR MEALS
"They beg leave also to call the attention of the management to its ruling which requires them to handle the delivery of goods when removing it from the tray to the receiving box. This is not only unpleasant and unsanitary, as they be lieve, but it seems to them to be abusive and inappropriate for the improvement of the service.
"Although they do not believe that the management doubts the honor and integrity of the waiters, yet they cannot help but feel that by this requirement it has unconsciously cast a reflection.
"The committee has thus briefly and concisely stated the objections to the above mentioned rulings of the management and pray that it will consider them favorably. It wishes also to present another matter for the consideration of the management, and upon which the waiters are unanimous in agreement, we greatly appreciated if the management could see fit to allow the waiters 15-cent breakfasts, 20-cent lunches, and 25-cent dinners.
"In submitting these sentiments of the waiting force on the propositions above mentioned the committee wishes to be understood as presenting them in a spirit of helpfulness and co-operation."

All articles must be removed from the women's lockers. The lockers are to be thoroughly washed before use. Each lock and every locker must be empty by the end of the week. All material left in the lockers will be destroyed. If a locker it will be difficult for the owner to recover her property.
In answer to an editorial which appeared in the Daily Kansan several days ago concerning the place of the classic language in American government, a department of Greek has sent in the following article, the source of the article is not given:
GREEK THE MARK
of American doctors meeting together or holding animated conversations in Greek may be hard for the 'man in the street' to believe possible, but it is claimed by a recent writer that such intercourse is practically necessary. Furthermore the assertion is made that Greek is not the only language of the world, a fraternity of Americans that it nurtures being actually the universal medical language throughout the world.
"Perhaps this is a somewhat exaggerated way of putting the fact that by far the largest majority of the technical words used by the physician are of Greek origin, and that without these terms the doctor would be stricken dumb, so far as the living language of his science is concerned.
The University Book Store will pay cash for second hand text books. Adv.
HERE ARE GREEK DERIVATIONS
"Some of the Greek derivations are jawbreakers to the Greckess; ophilochia, enteroptosis, leucemia, ophilothiphlegia, phlebitis, septicemia, myelomatosis. Naturally the technical terms of any science are 'all Greek' to the layman. But such words are the flesh and blood of scientific knowledge, quite indispensable to the physician.
"Many of these Greek words, however, are part and parcel of the language of our daily life. Modern scientific progress and the spread of learning have fostered new words like antiseptice, clinic, bacteria, typhoid, gastric, diagnosis, hygiene, embryo, and therapeutics. The very names of the departments in any medical setting include, for instance, such divisions as anatomy, bacteriology, chemistry, dermatology, embryology, gynecology, histology, ophthalmology, pathology, pharmacology, physiology, surgery, therapeutics, and toxicology."
Men You Know—and Don't
The man on the faculty of the University of Kansas who has received the most publicity in reputable newspapers and magazines, has been a longtime reception abroad and who will, within the next two years hold the highest respect of the people of Kansas, is Arthur Nevin, professor of choral music and music extension in the school of Fine Arts at the University.
His opera, "Poïa" was the first written by an American to be given in the Royal Opera House in Berlin, the Crown Prince and escorts attending the second night and giving the product high praise. Born in Hamburg, France, Naive founded unusual activities of any lady until, at eighteen years of age, he took up the study of music, going to the New England Conservatory at Boston for four years. He then crossed the Atlantic and spent seven years in Berlin and other German cities studying under musicians of fame, the most important of whom were the composer "Henna and Gretel" which was first played at the Metropolitan in New York in 1911.
**Poos Investigates Shrubs**
F. W. Poos left yesterday for Ottawa to investigate for the federal government of shrimp and foreign bulls and bulls received from Holland by Willis and Co., of Ottawa. Mr. Poos is at present attached to the staff of the state entomologist, S. J. Hunter, of the University.
LIVED WITH BLACKFOOT INDians
Returning from the Fatherland he went to Montana and lived two years among the Indians, learning the music, painting with them in their dances, trying to get the secrets of their religion and at night, stealing off to his rude quarters to make memoranda of what he had heard and seen. This was the Indian opera, "Poia," which was given before the home folks at Pittsburgh and then taken to Berlin. The play aroused deep and lasting jealousy among German critics and received columns of public opinion against its antithetical American musical journals sent special correspondents to the German city to review the opera and thousands of words were given in praise of the American production. Given four times in the Royal Opera House in Berlin—the winter of 1910.
NAME SOCIETY AFTER NEVIN Professor Nevin came to the University of Kansas this summer. He is an extreme work with Harold L. Butter, dean of the School of Fine Arts at the University. Both men are alive to the needs of the people and Mr. Nevin's community music plan is meeting with approval in the state. Five years ago he met the one in Colony doing Mr. Nevin the honor of naming the organization "The Nevin Chorus."

The Subtle Difference
between well-dressed women and others who spend as much money with less effect, often lies in their taste in shoes. Footwear that is beautiful in itself, harmonious with the costume, and vibrant with the latest metropolitan style, distinguishes the first class. Usually they buy our

who are going to put off getting an overcoat until next Winter. Remember, there is a great war in Europe—there is a big shortage of wool and the cost of clothing is bound to go up. Here is something to think over: The overcoats we bought at the beginning of the season are actually worth more today than the regular prices.
Buy an overcoat NOW for next Winter.
Buy a medium weight suit NOW for this Spring.
It will be the best investment you ever made.
Time will prove that our motives are not mercenary.
