Contestants will begiven three minutes in which to de­liver a prepared selection before acommittee of Faculty judges, consist­ing of Miss Myra Reynolds, Associ­ate Professor' Clark, and one other,not yet selected.The candidates chosen by thejudges will repeat their selections asecond time on Friday afternoon be­fore the entire Dramatic club, and thepersons chosen on this occasion willbe elected to associate membership inthe club.Associate members, according tothe new ruling of the constitution, aremembers of the club who have notyet taken part in any of the publicclub productions. They may' attenddub meetings, but have no vote un­til they have taken part in one of theplays and, are initiated as regularmembers.Prospects for the fall tryouts werediscussed at a banquet held last nightin Lexington. About thirty mern-, bers and their guests were presentand Professor Clark, who has al­ways taken a deep interest in the af­fairs of the organization, favored thebanqueters with one of his inimitablereadings in the shape of a selectionfrom Henry Arthur Jones' "DollyReforming Herself." More social af­fairs of this sort will probably be heldthis winter, ."We hope for a good showing atthe tryouts Thursday," said PresidentBaukhage yesterday, .. \ V e realizethat very short notice has been given,butc at any rate, all will have an equalchance to sho wtheir ability. Everystudent who has ever taken part indramatics should make an effort tocome out. A large variety of selec­tions are acceptable, but as a generalthing, we advise novices to avoidtragedy or any selection calling forvery intense emotion. Scenes frommodern plays are best, especiallycuttings from Henry Arthur Jones''Case of Rebellious Susan,' which theclub is to produce this winter."

Lonesome­ness. the conditiun' of his mind, andhis i llnes s all combined to make himgo violently insane last Saturdaynight, The police, who were notifiedhy the landlady, carried him away tothe detention hospital after the Urri­ver sity authorities were notified.Recovery Questionable.News was received from the hos­pital yesterday afternoon that he isstill in a precarious condition, as heis unconscious. His recovery is ques­tionable.

It cannotbe denied that there i;:, something far­cial in the series of "revelations" and"exposes" that so often follow inter­collegiate contests and make colle­giate athletics sometimes assume verynearly the atmosphere that hovers·about pugilism.Just what the solution ·of. the mat.ter is, it is very difficult to say.There are many things that enterinto the situation. In the first place,the colleges themselves are often toblame-they encourage the enroll­ment of professional athletes. Moreoften, athletes with such taint upontheir records, enter without theauthorities. Probably the ireatestdifficulty lies in the fact that there areseveral impracticable and more orless petty regulations surrounding therules concerning professionalism.The Herald-Transcript's editoriallows:.. Last spring the colleges of theWest held a track meet in Chicago.After the slim-legged athletes hadtwinkled over the bars and aroundthe track all day, the points were ad­ded up and Notre Dame was declaredthe winner."Did this settle it? Hardly. Youcan't settle even a pot of coffee these(lays without taking the matter intothe courts. A commission was calledto examine the eligibility of the con­testant s, and it has just been discov­ered that one of the Notre Damemen had once pushed a wheelbarrowior gain or something of the sort.This gave the lead to Leland Stan­ford, However, another week devel­oped the fact that a Stanford manhad competed without asking permis­�ion from the secreta-�' �f the Ameri­can Amateur :\ thlctic trust. This putLt·land Star�ford down to a tie with::'\ \)trc Dame and brought up Illinoistn within :2�'� points of the winningplace."The committee is now hard atwork on the case of a 'Visconsinman who is said to have used a'phony' in a Greek eXflmination, andof a Chicago man who mispelled hisname in his matriculation papers. Ifthese men can be eliminated. I11inoiswi11 lead Leland Stanford and Cali­fornia wilt come sccond. while Knoxwill aovance three numbers and noseout Miami for eleventh place. COMMUNICATIONEditor of the Maroon: There is atendency on the part of the studentsadvocating the honor system, whilerecognizing the pertinency, to mini­mize the importance of the fact that�tudents would not report dishonsty.They contend that the mere establish­ment of such a system would help tocreate a sentiment against cheating,and, that, moreover, students comingto the University and finding the highstandards here would be affected byit and gradually a higher moralitywould be secured.I am forced to confess that to myplodding. un in lightened intelligence.these idealistic considerations do notappeal. The advocates of the sys­tem would waive the discussion of itsenforcement, but it is only in theiight of its operation that we canjudge of its effect on the undergrad­uate public opinion. In event of itsnon-enforcement, and it has been_ :otiftiCiently shown that on account ofthe apathy of the student body, itwO\lld not· be enforced, the resultwould be not a wide-spread condem­natiun of di�hone�ty, but an appn'c1-atinn (,f the a(h·antage of dishonestyto the ir.di\·idual.

Let us recognize, frankly.that dishonesty does exist and willexist so long as the coercive power ofti;'c gm·crning hod)' is insufficient tocheck it. It is a step in regression toestablish the weak public opinion ofthe students for the surveillance or\he instructor, who besides being amore efficient guard against dishon­c- ty, is able to give students whoare honest the trust which they de­-erve. Aside from the present dis­.cussion the most hopeful signs in thesituation are that the attitude of theinstructor determines largely the atti.tude of the students, and that cheat­ing. is noticeably less in the upper(lasses than in the lower. indicatingd at the moral atmosphere of the;.
