I visualized a college class a generation or so hence,and imagined the professor saying,"'This little article, pitiful as it mayseem. presents the state of mind ofa number of the people; it was published in the daily sheet of the largest Middle Western University." Butupon second thought I recognized theweight 9f the paper has with manystudents, who read no other; and, alsothe impression given· to the outsidepublic and press. The purpose of thi�, letter is to' advance the perSonal opinion, backed by many contacts, thatthe sentiments of this editorial, farfrom representing the unanimous at- .titude of the University, are repudiated by the great body of the studentsand faculty. Particularly is the re·version of our civilization and thelowering of our standards to th, levelof compulsory military training absolutely oppOsed' to the democraticideals expressed everywhere on ourUniversity campus.This letter's purpose then is not arefutal of the editorial. That wouldbe superfluous; the editorial' is allinvective, and there is only one method of treating invective, ·beside ignoring it. It is that of the little darky who was ,being thoroughly "cussedout" by an angry neighbor. He waited very patiently until the irate one'sbreath and attributive adjectives wereexhausted, then he responded slowly,'Evuh thing wut you-all say I is, youis-twice." The same applies here,the article is its own refutation.Two things from the article particularly struck my attention; thetitle and the final sentence. The title"Eccentricity's Product" is too goodto be true. Evidently someone is aslave to that rule of journalism,"Summarize your article in a brief,concise headline."At the risk of repetition, I quote thelast sentence, presenting the basicidea of the whole article. "The college man does not want to be dassedas a cheap coward." Tbat is not true, HODor Commission Elections.It has 'been a custom in the past to,express the attitude of the Honorcommission -in regard to the election'of its members. The point ha,s beenbrought up that the Honor commission must have eXiperienced people tocarryon its 'wtork, and it is to emphasize this tlhat the present communication is written. The writer feels, that in Honor commission electiomsthere should 'be absolutely no electioneering. He ,feels !that the onlything tID, do is pick pople for the commission on a basis of merit. Th�precedent has ibeen estalblished that�he Junior memberS of the Honorcormnission sh'Ould he ,re-elected tocarryon the wor:k which they 'havestarted, and in oorder that the upperclass membens -who hold the executi�'e posGtions may 'be experienced. Itwould 'be an injustice to the studenthody to place an incxperienced person at the head of such an imRortantbod;" and it would be an injustice 00the individual. �th this in mind thecommission recommends that thepresent members of the comm�ssionbe returned to office as a result' ofthe elections. At ;present t,here is agrat deal 'Of wtOrk which is being systematized so that in the future theHonor sentiment may be spread withthe greatest possible ease and efficiency.

' THE DAILY 1lAR00N� THURSDAY FEBRUARY 15, 1917�BUCKEYE TRACK MEN TOMEET VARSITY TOMORROWCoach Castleman Will Bring Inexperienced Squad to Bartlett-DisMOndo Greene and Curtiss Doped forPlaces in 440With a team made up largely of inexperienced men, the Ohio State track�m will open its season against theMaroons tomorrow night in Bartlett.This is the only home meet on theChicago schedule, the remaining dualmeet being scheduled with Northwestern at Evanston. Coach Stagg's menscored a one-sided victory over Purdue two weeks ago, and according tothe comparative strength of the twoteams, should not find a very formidable foe in the Buckeyes. The realstrength of the Ohio squad is unknown, but a poorly balanced aggregation is to be expected.Coach Castleman, of the visitorssuffered a severe set-back at the opening of the season when three of hisod men failed to reurn to school andas a result has been forced to relyon a number of new men to completehis list of entries. The Buckeyesmade only a mediocre showing againstthe Varsity last year, losing by ascore of 55 1-2 to 30 1-2. The addedstrength of the Maroons this seasonin the distance runs places their opponents on the short end of the odds.Dash Men Have Chance.Chicago's quartet of dash men, Feuerstein, Van Kirk, Gemmill and Brinkman, while not up to the standard oflast year's sprinters, should stand aneven chance to win from the OhioState' men. Davies, Hill and Wagner will run the hurdles for the visitors, with Guerin as Chicago's bestbet. Dismond, of national fame inthe 440, can take his time in the quarter, with Greene and Curtiss likelycontenders for second and. third.Clark is a certain winner in thehalf unless Coach Castleman has beenkeeping a two minute man under cover. Ohio has its best array of spikedshoe athletes in the mile and twomile events with Ferguson, the negropacer in the former, and CaptainNevin in the latter event. The Buckeye captain has been going under tenminutes in the two mile. Tenney andOts, of Chicago, should . take a firstand second, however, in the mile., Rankin and Poe, weight men of nomean ability, will be pitted againstHiggins iii the shot with the odds favoring the Maroon. Captain Fisher. can be counted upon to annex tenmore points with firsts in the polevault and high jump.CHOOSE MEMBERS ANDCHAIRMEN OF BLACKBONNET COMMITTEESChairmen and members of fiveBlack Bonnet committees have beenchosen.
