Ithas been said that we are not in need ofthe honor system, but there is a constantdrifting toward it, and I regard the sys­tem' as inevitable in all our colleges. Thefaculty is here for three things - to teach,to carryon investigation, and to preventany idler, dullard, or trickster from get­ting a degree. The purpose of the honorsystem is to relieve the faculty of the dutyof looking after the trickster. The crucialtest of the honor system is in its begin­ning.

The story is simply told but onaccount of the grasp of feeling it is oneof the best which has appeared for sometime..• A Suggestion that Counted," by Wil­liam Sheppard, the first story in the maga­zine, deals with a soldier's experiences inthe Philippines.

The games were to be arrangedfor the World's Fair at St. Louis. How­ever the action taken by the managementof the eastern colleges seems to end mat­ters. The followers of the western Col­leges would like to have seen Michiganpitted against the best team in the Eastthis season. They would also like to seethe best team in the West next seasonplay the best team in the East for thenational championship. The rivalry be­tween the two sections o_f the country ishealthy and spirited and should be fosteredby annual contests. The easterners thinkthat the West would have no chance andthe \Vest is only asking for a chance.Chicago made an excellent showing againstWest Point and the eastern writers decriedthe effort of the Varsity. It is safe to saythat the western champions this year couldmake things interesting for the championsof the East. But saying so has been as faras matters have progressed for severalyears: The people want the championshipdecided definitely and it is up to the Eastas the western teams are willing.Walter Eckersall, �he fre:hman athletewho made: the All-Western football teamthis year, still absents himself from col­lege. Since Thanksgiving Day Eckersallhas not attended a class and as a resulthas neglected his studies. For some timethe rumor has been afloat that he intendsto quit Chicago and enter another college.This rumor as yet has not been substan­tiated, but from the actions of the ex­Hyde Parker it seems that if he docs notintend to enter some other institution, hesurely does not intend to resume work inChicago this Quarter. What has promptedEckersall=to take the step is a mystery tohis many friends. They cannot account forhis remaining away from college. If heintends to enter another university he willnot be able to compete for a iull collegiateyear and if he intends to remain at Chi­cago he will be ineligible to compete ineither tract or base ball. Eckersall haspromised to return to Chicago, but thusfar has failed to do so. His actionshave caused much unfavorable commentthroughout the West, At present CoachStagg is unable to be approached on thesubject, It is known that he has beendeeply interested in Eckersall through hiscareer as a high school and college ath­lete.JUDGES FOR DEBATE FINALSExperienced lien Are Chosen to DecideRepresentative for ChicagoFour of thc five judges for tomorrownight's debate have been chosen, Theyare: Dr. :\lerriaJ11 of the Political Sciencedepartment who has been a member ofColumbia debating teams; Professor S. !-1.Clark of the Puhlic Speaking department :Dr. Warren of the History department.who was formerly on the Harvard team.and :'.lr.

Says Be Knows of No Christmas GiftBut Surprises lIIay ComePresident Harper returned to the Uni­'versity yesterday afternoon from his trip.to the East.His main object in making the trip wasto he present at the reunion banquet of theeastern alumni of the University.Chicago graduates from all parts of New­England and the Middle States went toNew York to give greeting to Dr. Harper,as the guest of bonor. The greater part ofthe sixty-five men and women who attendedthe banquet as graduates of the University,arc members of eastern college faculties.When the President left here a few daysago. members of the University foretoldthat on his return he would bring with himthe assurance of a Christmas gift to theUniversity from John D. Rockefeller, hutthey erred in their prophesy.Yesterday President Harper said:.. There will he no Christmas gift from:'.Ir. Rockefeller this year. so far as Iknow. Of course. there may he someremembrance, as all former donations fromthe founder of the University have comeas sur prjscs."Yesterday thc athletic committee ofHarvard which had been asked hy thefaculty of arts and sciences to reportwhether the hit: college foothall contestsshould he discontinued answered that" the,conccnsus of opinion was to the effect thatthc game had improved in many of itsIcaturcs in recent ycars : that the fec1in�between opposing teams was friendly; thc�allles should he retained hut an effortmade to modify certain apparently ohjec­t innable features. DOING A GRAND, GOOD WORKWoman's Union An Orzanisation of Ex­ceptional WorthThe Woman's Union is interested notonly in social activities. but also in pro­viding material contributions to the physi­cal comfort of the students. such as thecommodious and attractive lunch roomwhere luncheon is served daily at a lowprice, and the reception room which isalways at the service of members of theUnion for rest, social enjoyment, or as areading room -where the daily papers andthe current magazines may be found.The Union desires also to be of serviceto any women students needing sympathyor assistance and every member of theUnion is urged to report any such casesto the chairman of a committee or to thepresident of the Union.In addition to these activities the Wo­man's Union is the connecting link betweenthe students of the University and or­ganizations for civic and social improve­ment in the city of Chicago. Committeesof the Union are conducting active workin the promotion of the Consumers' Leagueand the Municipal Art League.Although it is the wish of the Union toextend its privileges and hospitality sofar as possible to every woman student inthe University, it is most anxious tocount a large body of active workers whoare ready to join in the activities described,receiving therefrom the inspiration to befound in working witb others, and in mu­tual efforts in the interest of the entirebody of women students.The fee for the active membership is$1 for the year or 50 cents for one Quar­ter.

Oxford has aMagdalen tower, not a '·.l\Iadelain"tower.The chai rman of the "C" benchcommittee reported recently that thatLocation body, acting in conjuncof the tion with President Har-"e" Bench per, had decided tochangethe location of the bench from theCobb Hall campus to some part ofthe central quadrangle. The selec­tion of the exact spot on which thebench should stand was left to theUniversity landscape gardener.The reason given for this changeof location is that the bench, "whichis to be a very handsome one, couldnot be displayed to its best advan­tage, either at the entrance to CobbHall, or farther back among thetrees on the campus."Apparently the committee hasbased its decision purely on theground of ornamental advantage.Believing that the bench would makea more imposing appearance fromthe center of the campus than fromthe former location decided on-infront of Cobb Hall-the committeeconsidered that reason a sufficientone for making the change.In the opinion of many students,there is another consideration quiteas important as the one mentioned,which the committee entirely over­looked, that of utility. From theirpoint of view, the question mightjustly be asked: Would the proposedspot in the center of the campus,quite unprotected from the sun'srays and manifestly more inconven­ient as a lounging place, be as acces­sible and useful a location, as the onepreviously decided upon, the CobbHall campus?It is hoped by those who take thisview of the matter-and they believethat their number is sufficiently largeto make their opinion worthy of at­tention-that the committee wi II atleast reconsider the matter from amore practical point of view,All subscribers to THE DAI1.Y �1A.ROOX who have changed their ad­dress kindly send new address toTHE DAII.Y �IAROOX office. rUE SK"lTERS' sosc.(An eccentric ecstasy eclectically echoedin economical ecphyseses.)When snow-flakes are scurryingExcitedly flurryingCh;-,sffi hy the cool. hrisk breeze,Knowledge and learning, IEschcw: and class spurning.

This factis more in evidence just now than at any other time dur­ing the year. With Christmas rapidly approaching, andthe ever puzzliag problem to solve, it offers thousands ofsuggestions - for father, mother, sister and brother,young and old.Early selections are by all means advisable-principally because many exclu­sive novelties, of which we have one, or a limited quantity, will naturally besold first. Then again the store is less crowded .And still from another view point this is an ideal storefor men, Knowing that men insist upon prompt service-and rightly so-wish to buy quickly and depart quickly-we have inaugurated a rapid-service system that is sat-isfactory in every w�y, causing practically no delay.MANDEL BROTHERSNearest Drug Store to the UniversityKRIZAN & SCHWEITZERTelephone Hyde Park 1854Corner Fifty-Seventh Street and Kimbark AvenueC� RR Ylhe Largest and MostComplete Stock of Rub­ber Goods and Sundrieson the South Side.
