Alice Kitchell and Joseph Levin,joint chainnen of the Finance com­mittee. The reason for limiting thenumber of dancers given by the chair­men was the condition that ensuedat the Washington Prom when thehall became overly crowded."The first two hundred and twenty­five who signify their intention ofattending the Hop," said Levin yes­terday, "and who pay for their tick­ets will be admitted. The measureis absolutely necessary to make thedance a success from the point' ofcomfort, The committee in chargedoes not want to see the hall packedto capacity as it was at the Prom.Will Not Cancel Hop."There has been sometalk of can­celing the Hop because of the war sit­uation, but the committees have de­cided that this is -the most appropri­ate time for such an event, since theprofits. will go to war relief. Thismeans that a certain amount ofmoney which otherwise would neverhave been so used will 'be employedwhere it is greatly need-ed."·The committees in charge have sentcircular letters to fraternities, clubs,and all University organizations ask­"(COKtinu4Jd O!'

ACADEMIES TO COMPETEIN ANNUAL PREP EVENTQuestion Arises Because Of ProtestsOf 'High Schools-InterscholasticCommission To Meet Tonight I�Reynolds Club Theater.Coach Stagg's sixteenth annual In­terscholastic meet will include Acade­mies, according to the decision reach­ed last night by the Midway officials.There has been considerable commenton the part of high schools in thepast with respect to the "unfairness"in :being forced to-compete with acad­emy men. Because of these .protestsMr. Stagg considered the matter care­fully but decided in favor of the acad­emies.According to statistics no teamfrom an academy has rplace d higherthan fifth in the last five years. Lastyear in a total numbep of one hun­dred and twenty schoots representedonly twelve were other than highschools. Of these twelve only fiveshowed in the point column for a totalor' twenty-two points. The highestacademy placed sixth and only onefirst was garnered by these institu­tions.Could �ind No Real Reason.In view of these facts Mr. Staggcould find no real ground for thehigh school's complaints insofar asthe academies have not offered verystrenuous competition in the last fei,years. He did, however, deem it ad-.visable to provide for the ruling outof men whom he considered "ineli­gible under the spirit of the rules."During the past week en� blankshave been mailed to over thirty-three.hundred . prep schools' and, the "firstreplies are expected before Saturday.The men in charge of the affair ex­pect more entries than in y�rs pastdue to the fact that it is 'the 'onemeet of its, kind in the �est.'

Arrangement was usedby Miss Langley to include appropri­ateness and comfort."The first consideration in furnish­ing, "said Miss Langley, "is the spirit,that you want to express. The matterof betuty and appropriateness in aroom .is subjective. It is what youfeel in a roern, not what you see, thatgives a sense of rest or comfort. Evenugly furniture. if it is well arranged,can make a room attractive. while anarticle which i.s there merely becauseit is beautiful will be an eye sore.As for beautIful furnishings, theyshould, �sides being comfortable, bewhat you individually think is beau­tiful. That will give you a chanceto c:'Itpress your own individuality.Committee Decides Question."The' first Question in the minds ofthe committee which bought the furni­ture for Ida X oyes was, what thebuilding should express-what itwould mean to the women and whattbey would mean to it. \Ve dccidedthat the place had to be comfortableand gradous-a place that peoplecould live and expand in."Ida Noyes hall expresse.s a greatrange in architectural thought.

Loss of menmeans loss of financial resources,loss of the number of individuals ne­cessary to continue the social andother advantages of the fraternities,and loss of spirit due to the gloomyatmosphere caused by the war. Thefraternities are one of the most valu­able assets in our student 'life, and ifthey are permitted to go to ruinthe disadvantageous results will soonbe noticeable. The question for fra­ternity men to solve is this: whatare we going to do to keep our chap­ters from dying a slow but suredeath?Fraternity men have always claim­ed mutual interests, regardless of theGreek letters which happen to, adornindividual badges. Every chapter en­counters the same problems, bas thesame duties, has the same advantages.With this in mind, fraternity menshould band together in a serious and<!eterrr.ined effort to help each otherin retaining every fraternity now ex­isting on our campus.There are numerous ways in whichthis can 'be done. If it ·becomes ne­cessary for soule of the chapters- todiscontinue tl}e_ir tables due to 'theloss of men, iliere is no reason whythree or four chapters should notagree to eat a� a common table atone of the chapters which owns itsown horne. Fraternities which renthouses can surely find some way tobreak their leases, and they shouldcome to the. aid. of those chapterswhich own houses and consequentlyhave greater responsibilities on theirshoulders. Truly, such a plan mightnot meet with the approval of allof the members of the given chap.ters, but the men must take into con­sideration that for the time beingthey are fighting for their e�sten,:eand cannot stop to plan everythingfor individual advantage.The same plans should be adoptedfor lodging. If the war continuesthrough the year, as in all probabil­ities it will, some means should betaken to make the rushing seasonmore democratic and more just. Somepooling system should be adopted inorder that every chapter might havea fair chance to continue its life. Inall affairs which concern chapters in­dividual preferences should be givenup for the benefit of the Greek Let­ter community as a whole.Such plans would have a doubleadvantag-e. Not only would theyhelp '-ide over the chapters duringthe war, but they would aid to forma better spirit of comradeship amongall fraternity men after the crisis', ;� .I� ,1!\.it·�.l-i,-,. �,�i€!�:;-,•; has been passed. In all ways, then,the schemes would be justified.FRATERNITIES AND THEINTERSCHOLASTiC.I t would be wise for the Interscho­lastic commission to take into ac­count immediately the condition ofthe fraternities., When the chaptersare having great difficulties in run­ning their board and room depart­ments without loss at present, theycannot be expected to be in a posi­tion a month from now to house andfeed all of the- Interscholastic ath­letes who wiII come to Chicago. Inpast years the fraternities have al­ways been ready and glad to assistthe Athlclic department in its workof entertaining the high school men.Now that the fraternities are in needof their o\VD resources for th�ir o�existence, the Athletic departmentshould not expect them to ta� onadditional burdens.ELIZABETH LANGLEYGIVES TALK ON IDANOYES FURNISHINGS(Continued from page 1)would express the building itself andat period furr1\shing.

ARNOLD SIGN OPENLErTER TO PRESIDENTPatriotic Sons Of University RefuseTo Take Peace Petition Of G.Walter Lawrence Seriously"Peace petitions are scouting aroundthe campus' already, in spite of thegeneral �tJP.ospher� pf war and p�­trtotism 'wnich' h�s' invaded the 'Uni­versity. Campus wits have deemedit necessary to 'blow them up, withthe result that an ope:q 1��T toPresident Wilson, which was append­ed to the bulletin bqa.r4 in Harperfor signatures, has been desecrating­ly mutilated.The person apparently responsiblefor the peace piea'ls G. Walter Law­rence, a stud��i in th�' Djvinityschool. Mr. Lawrence says in thepetition:"To Woodrow Wilson-Presideni:, ,Washington, D. C."In order (1) to c�a�fy the mindof the American as to our specificpurposes in this war, (2) to assureourselves that our allies are con­tending for the same ends as we,and (3), to place opprobrium for thecontinuance of the war upon" Ger­many-'if she refuses to end the strifeupon the terms that will insure justand 'lasting peace, we, the undersign­ed, petition you, while foreign friendsare here, to settle on altruistic terms, to be submitted to the Central Pow-ers."Label Petition °crrreason".The first copy of this plea had notbeen posted long before some student,in a burst of patriotism, labeled itTREASON. Then someone, wittilyinclined, added the signature I. M.Deutsch, which started a list of otherrather peculiar but poignant names.Mr. Lawrence, on seeing his petitionviolated thus, grew justly indignantand put up a new copy, prefixed witha note, the substance of which wasthat free thought was well enough,but not when it works ruin on peacepleas.At the present time, the petitionhas a few names signed, such as Ju­das Iscariot and Benedict Arnold.Which is rather startling in this dayand age, unless the aforementionedescaped from the Blackfriars show.When our President reads his open They're the choice of discerning college men-on 'the campus now, in business later.§I §.. §=EI;i'I�I�I&W YORE atr ====§5ilI1I=mm=UIDlft=II:;;:.n=IR1=m=II1=IIl='III=IU=m='III=UUU=IIU=IIh=n=III8I=UU=IAd=nm=nu=U=UlW=I::::m=mmm=nmmnn==m=mn=.- Safer Than •Currency to Carry... afteD bem IeIIUbd .... ..ztIq 01K.
