Certainnearly forgotten truths will be reinforced, and other beliefs will be disproved. There will be a great changein the standards."Now, we are inverting the idealswhich we have hitherto observed.

STARR TO LECTUREON CONDITIONS IN,UBERIAN REPUBUC"America's Debt to Liberia" WillBe Subject of Lincoln'sBirthday Address.POPULATION IS STARVINGWar Forces Both Economic and Political Troubles On SmallAfrican. Nation.Associate Prof. Starr, of the department of Anthropology, will deliver a Lincoln's birthday address on"America's debt to Liberia" on February 12, at the McCormick Theological seminary, Fullerton and Lincoln avenues. The Liberian republis passed a special act last September expressing its appreciation andthanks for Dr. Starr's interest in andassistance to the republic. Mr. Starrreceived word of this action only afew weeks ago, as a communicationwith Liberia is practically cut off onaccount. of the war. Dr. Starr saidyesterday that he plans to make hisspeech on February 12 an extraordinary one."This address will be totally new,"said Dr. Starr. "In it I shall aim toshow the immediate conditions in Liberia and the urgent need for aidfrom the United States. The duty ofthe United States in the presentemergency is evident. The population of the republic is starving fromlack of food on account of the war.Then, in addition, the country is indanger of an unjust attack by the Allies, who claim that she is guilty of abreach of neutrality.

KldW&7 IIIITHURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1915.A POWERFUL COUNCIL.For the first time in several yearsthe question of the power of the Undergraduate council has become ofparticular importance. Except in oneor two instances, no definite complainthas been made against the council,but there seems to be a general impression abroad that it has been trying to do too much, has felt that ithad more power than the student bodywishes to concede it.Linked with this opinion has grownup another, namely, that the councilhas felt that to maintain its dignityand the sacredness of its position, itwas necessary to "do something," tomake business whether the necessityexisted or not. From this determination, it is maintained, have grown uppractices which have been more of ahindrance than a help.The council is the students" and canhave as much power as the facultyand the students are willing to give it.\Vith the permission of the faculty the,students may sign away their lives totheir representatives. But, on theother hand, the students may desire,even, to grant to the faculty alonepowers which that body is willing toconfer upon the students and to freethemselves from the responsibility.WHAT THE COUNCIL SHOULDNOT BE.The llaroon thinks little can be�aincd and much lost through havingan Undergraduate council which has agreat deal of power or control overUniversity activities. It believes thefunction of the council should be, ingeneral, to act as an organ of communication between students and faculty, and to act as a central office andclearing-house for matters relating toUniversity student activities.To givc the council more power,legislative and executive, and, particularly, judicial, would be to handover to a few students, chosen hy arelatively small portion of the undergraduate body, power which they arenot capable of wicldinz wisclv .. as arule, and which. it may he assertedstrenuously. they have no right topossess over students who are rcspo ns ihlc to the Univcr sity authoritiesonly.Of cour s e, the Univcr s it v can deliver its authority in such cases to the!'ttldents, hut such a policy seems unwis c, bccause :(I) A widespread system of student government tcnds tohring out those evils whichare hi�hly ,,",l"�i!"��!�; ;��!ousies, fraternity log-rolling,and the like.(2) Too much emphasis is placedon the extra-curriculum activities.(') Time and attention of the stu·dents is put out to the serviceof what must, of necessity, be- come a more or less complicated system of government:whereas, the University,t hrouzh its committee on student orgunizn tions, can easilyhandle the matter. without thet w o disadvantages mentionedabove .REALL Y A "COUNCIL."However, students are capable ofhandling their own individual departments effectively. The best plan, theone the Univcrs'ity has always favored, is that of students having' practically absolute control of such organizations as the publications, the Blackfriars, and the Dramatic club. Butthis privileg e, naturally extends onlyto those students who arc directly interested in these acrivitics.When the council attempts to explain to these students how to do thisand how to do that, and arbitrar-ily toannounce what policy they shouldpursue, then the trouble begins.There are, however, some activitieswhich make a council necessary. Thecouncil serves as a medium fortransmitting from year to year traditions and customs for the management of certain undertakings-theProm, for example-which have noself-reproducing organizations.I t may serve as a means of bringing the student body and the members of the faculty together. and itmay help in differences between students and faculty by presenting theside of the students, when appealedto by these students.\Vith a few exceptions, this has beenthe work done by the council in thepast. \Vhether there is a tendency atpresent to go beyond these limits isa debatable question, but at least it isa question. Each candidate for officeshould announce definitely what powerhe thinks thc council should have.Then the student body-or, at least,the voting portion of it-in thc coming elections can demonstrate theform of council it desires.�===========�SCALP OF, JUNIORSADDED TO COLLECTIONOF SOPHOMORE FIVETake Basketball Game by 28 to 8Score-Exhibit FastTeamwork.Standings in Interclass BasketballLeague.w.

Twoteams are picked from the classes andare lined upon each side of the tank.A water basketball is then throwninto the center of the tank and theswimmers dive in and attempt topush the ball to the opposite side ofthe tank. The side that accomplishes. this feat wins a point.This pushball contest is only thefirst of a series of games that will beplayed before the end of the presentquarter. The new system that wasstarted the first of the year calls fora real course in swimming instruction and games to enable the men tobecome good swimmers. The firstmonth was devoted to instruction inthe Australian crawl, with the paddlekick, and the men are .now beingtaught how to master the backstroke. It is planned to bring in thebreast stroke before the end of theQuarter.Coach White is pleased with theprogress of the men in the tank andbelieves that the present system willgive him a good idea of any menwho are capable of making the Varsity squad. He also hopes to develop candidates for the Varsitywater-basketball team from thosewho are competing in the push ballcontests.
