A survey of the different fra¬ternities on the campus has shownthat the greatest number of them arein favor of the plan allowing onlythe first two weeks in the fall quar¬ter to be rushing weeks. In the coun¬cil the point of dissension arises overthe number of rushing weeks, somefavoring three weeks and some two.The majority favors the two-weeksplan. After their decision tonight,which will take a plurality vote todecide, the council will publish therushing rules in pamphlet form anddistribute them to the different fra¬ternities and to incoming freshmenof next year.Howard Briggs, treasurer of thecouncil, issues the statement that.“Several fraternities are owing duesand two of these fraternities owevery large amounts. All of thesedues must be paid at once in orderthat the books of the present ad¬ministration may be cleared up.”At the meeting Robert Koerber,manager of the InterfraternityBridge Tournament, will report up¬on the progress of the tournamentand will settle any controversy thathas arisen. “How does the average student atthe University spend his time”? wasthe question which the Better-Yetcommittee on the Distribution ofStudents’ Time set out to fathom, andafter one year of exhaustive researchand investigation the committee hasreturned its final results to the officeof Dean Ernest Hatch Wilkins. Thereport covers every field of studentoccuption, amustment, study, activity,home-life, and the various other itemswhich go to make up the student’scollege life.Dean Wilkins has issued to TheDaily Maroon a condensed form ofthe findings of the committee, whichfollows:“The Joint FacultyStudent Com¬mittee on the Distribution of Stud¬ents’ Time, appointed a year ago asone of the Better-Yet Committees,has finished its work and turned inits report to this office.The report is a document of overa hundred pages illustrated by fiftystatistical tables and accompanied bysuggestions and recommendations.The Chairman of the Committee isProfessor H.

These ques¬tionnaires were in general filled outwith great care and the Committeeexpresse its appreciation of the co¬operation thus afforded by the under¬graduate body. Some of the factsascertained are as follows: A stud¬ent on the average spends twelvehours per week (including class at¬tendance) on each of the threecourses which he takes—making atotal of about thirty-six hours perweek for his studies. The great ma¬jority spend at least eight hoursand not over eighteen on each course.About fifty students, however, reportless than eight hours as an averageper course and about fifty report(Continued on page 3)Snowdrifts, Icicles, and Cold WeatherCan’t Discourage Hardy Banana TreeBananas don’t all grow in thetropics. No, indeed. Some of themeven grow on campus here amid Feb¬ruary snows and the sloshing of un¬dergraduate boots.Back of Cobb hall, in the Univer¬sity greenhouses, Sam Costello haslong been cherishing a lone bananutree. Years and years of growthhave not given it a noble stature,but the watchful care of its guardianhas brought its fruit. The tree hasat last been induced to adorn itsbranches with small green oblong ba¬nanas.As delicious fruit as ever appearedin the tropics of South Americaalong the thick-grown banks of theAmazon will soon crown the palmyleaves of the tree, according to Mr.Costello, who expects to see the cul¬mination of his labors in the ripen¬ing.But don’t everybody rush to thegreenhouse in quest of a native ba¬nana, for the caretaker, watchingday and night over the tiny tree, Iwaiting for the green fruits to be 1 transformed into ten ripe bananas,will guard it with his life.Even though tarantulas fail to hoparound among the leaves of themidget trees, yet it seems perfectlyat home among the palms and fernsin an obscure corner of the campus.Hold Y.

Thenewspaper’s cardinal virtue ispromptness. It must tell the newswhile it( is news. Of course, it aimsto bq correct, but it r.ust be prompt,even if it sometimes has to useguesses, when verified facts are un¬obtainable.”Turning to the subject of research,which he declared to be “most fun¬damental both for the newspaperand for the university,” PresidentBurton described this activity as “thepursuit of the unknown; the resuli-atit of three causes—human need,human curiosity and a world capableof satisfying the former and of ex¬citing the latter.”Curiosity Important“If necessity is the mother of in¬vention,” said he, “curiosity is thefather.”After describing the benefitswhich research has brought to so¬ciety, not only in material profit, butin knowledge of human problems,President Burton teamed the mod¬ern university the “nursery of re¬search,” saying that “from themcome the most fundamental discover¬ies on which all practical inventionsare based.” The newspaper man, hesaid, “has his own special field ofresearch, and one that is pre-emi¬nently entitled to be recognized asresearch. He is dealing with thefacts at first hand.The modern newspaper man wit¬nesses the event or talks with theman who did. Your city reporter,your interviewer, your art critic,your war correspondent, are all en¬gaged in research, and conduct their(Continued on page 3) PRIVILEGE TICKETSREIMBURSE FROSHClass Treasury in Good Shape,Says DygertFreshman class “privilege tickets,”admitting members to all class func¬tions, sold in Freshman chapel andby salespersons on the campus dur¬ing the past week have reimbursedthe. Freshman treasury after the re¬fund of the dues declared unofficialby the Undergraduate council.According to George C. Dygert,class treasurer, there has been a goodresponse to the requests of salesper¬sons.“In spite of this fact,” said Dy¬gert, “there are still members of theclass who have failed to procure thetickets. An effort will be made toreach these members during the nextweek.”Members are requested to pur¬chase their tickets from salesmenabout the campus and stationed atthe doorways after Freshman chapel.“This will be necessary,” said Dy¬gert, “in order that the class coun¬cil plan for the functions suggestedin the near future.” IRWIN PROMISESNAME OF FRIARAUTHOR MONDAYBurton Tells of EarlyDays of History HereSpeaking before the Baptist SocialUnion last night, President ErnestDeWitt Burton of the Universitytalked on principles adopted in theearly days of the University andpursued during its thirty years’ his¬tory. He mentioned emphasis uponresearch, selection of men of excep¬tional ability, adoption of the prin¬ciple of freedom of research, teach¬ing and publication, and the eventu¬al extension of this freedom tomembers of the divinity faculty; ad¬dition of the summer quarter; serv¬ice to the public through the cor¬respondence school, and, in earlierdays, University extension lectures;establishment of the UniversityPress.Of the Divinity School, PresidentBurton said: “In no other Americanuniversity which there is a divin¬ity school has that school or its fac¬ulty ever held a more honorableplace or a place of greater influencethan our Divinity School has held inour University.” ‘PROM’ PHOENIXOUT TOMORROWRe-introduces McLeod Coverto Campus“Campus Comics,” the next issueof the Phoenix, will be out Thurs¬day, Feb. 19.

Desire to Make Best ChoiceReason forDelayWomen wishing to sell thenext issue of the Phoenix, which Jwill be out Thursday, Feb. 19,are requested to report at theoffice, preferably before 8o’clock.” Final word on the choice of the1925 Blackfriars show was definitelypromised for next Monday, accord¬ing to an announcement made yes¬terday afternoon by Don Irwin, Ab¬bott of the Order. The hitch in theplans, for the identity of the showand its authors was to be made pub¬lic today, occurred when HamiltonColman, producer of the Blackfriarsmusical comedies, stated that hewanted to see the show which wastentatively selected completely writ¬ten. before he gave his final consentto its staging.With the definite promise of ashow for 1925 at last in their hands,the production staffs for the comingmusical event will immediately be¬gin their belated tasks, members andapplicants of the production depart¬ment will get into action, and workwill go forward instanter.Wanted Best PlayThe desire of the Friars executiveto produce the best play possible wasthe reason assigned by Irwin to thedelay in coming to a decision as tothe final selection.“It w only with careful consid¬eration, both on the parts of Mr.Colman and the Blackfriars Boardof Superiors, but also on the partsof the Board of Judges, consistingof Dean Edith Foster Flint, Prof.James Weber Linn, Prof. PercyHolmes Boynton, Prof. George W.Sherburn, that we could hope to se¬lect the very best from the fiveshows which were originally sub¬submitted. When the field of com¬petitors was narrowed down to two,we still had a hard time to come toa decision. Although we have finallymade a tentative choice, the publi¬cation of our selection will be helduntil the authors have completedtheir submitted manuscript. In thisway we hope that the best possiblebook will be used in the 1925 pro¬duction.GLEE CLUB TO SINGAT TIVOLI INAPRILIf present plans are carried out,the University of Chicago Glee clubwill sing at the Tivoli during theweek beginning April 6.

Contributionsof persons desirous of having someparticular phase of the history ofthe University treated will be dis¬cussed from day to day.1. What does the U. of C. Corre¬spondence School do when they wantto hold a rally? —Bill.2. Is there any rule of the HonovCommission which forbids a studentin astronomy to look out of the win¬dow during an exam?—Bruce.3. Why do girls go to college?—Paul.4. Ought a student in his thirdyear to have a mastery of the lead¬ing dance steps?—Herb.The sidewalk in front of Cobb hasalways been, traditionally, it seemsthe meeting place where all mem¬bers of all classes in the Universitygather and talk. The ten minutesbetween each class make it the sceneof more gossip than an Old Ladies’Home.Not all traditions are good. The,Daily Maroon thinks that the tradi¬tion aforementioned is not a verygood one. To begin with, the crowdassembled is generally so dense thatonly a Mack truck can get throughit at a speed of more than a mile anhour. And it is a fact that some ofus want to get out of Cobb in a hur¬ry or go from Kent to Classics with¬out walking in the street. Anotherpoint is that when the crowd breaksup, it causes a jam in the first-floorentrance for those who want to gointo Cobb. Furthermore, the crowdspills over into the driveway and cre¬ates a hardship for any person whowants to get a car out that he hasparked there.Of course, one may say that thereonly can one be sure of meetingfriends whom he would not other¬wise see. Also that ten minutes’ gos¬sip with friends is an agreeable in¬terlude between classes. Granted;but surely there are other places tomeet and talk besides that one nar¬row strip of concrete. The Maroonsuggests that the student body findthose places, and help ease the con¬gestion. 5. Is being arrested a sufficientqualification for admission into elitecollege circles?—Charlotte.6. Is it fair of campus men tobring girls from downtown shows tothe Washington Prom?—Pesgy-7. Should Graduate Students beregistered in undergraduate courses?—ELa.No. 6. No, Peggy, I agree withyou. College men are very incon¬siderate in bringing girls of thattype here; to submit them to the evilinfluences which surround a co-edu-cational institution, their unsophis¬ticated minds are likely to be unfa¬vorably impressed by habits of col¬lege women.No. 3. This, Paul, is an intelligentquestion, as the professors say, butone_ on which we must look forauthority. When we went to “Chuck”Anderson for information he wasvague. “Look me over,” was all hehad to say.Campus women were asked if theyknew why they came to college.“That,” said Esther Cook, “is some¬thing that has never occurred to mebefore. I will think it over and letyou know in a few weeks.”Prof. Percy Boynton was also con¬sulted. Scratching his head withacademic niceness, he humbly re¬plied: “That I do not know.”COTERIE FROM ZOOROMP IN POOLCIRCUS“Hooray! The circus has come totown.” The big parade will beginexactly at 7:30 tomorrow night witha promenade of women carrying bril¬liantly colored lanterns and march¬ing around the swimming pool of IdaNoyes hall, followed by a regular cir¬cus program, consisting of some dar¬ing stunts with both dangerous and |humorous animals (some of them!will be a valuable addition to thezoo) under the supervision of anhonest-to-goodness ring master, whipand all! Everyone, even the tele-phants, will be members of Tarponclub, which is putting on the circuswithout charging even two pins foradmittance.Every possible feature of a circusgiven on dry land will be followedout in the water, according to EllenLeCount, chairman of the program.Between the ring numbers an exhibitof the wild and ferocious animalswill be presented, including ele¬phants, sea lions, and others,Every circus has its beautiful ladyperformers, and some famous swim¬mers from the Galapagos Islands willdo many and various dives and otherstunts, the chief ones being throughhoops covered with bright paper.Some special numbers will be an ac¬complished tight rope walker and de¬sign floating. No. 7. Really, Elsa, it is not justthat graduate students be allowed tostudy with undergraduates. Theyare so apt to retard the work of thecourse.No. 1. Before his death, C. SearsMontgomery, founder of the institu-1tion, wrote this charming verse—Tomorrow is a rally day,Hurray Hurray! Hurray!At seven start a fire,Stick a pin into your tire, aAnd cheer and cheer and cheer.P. S.—Half a pound of paper willbe shipped to each student for burn¬ing—also two pins—one for emer¬gency.No. 5. Well, Charlotte, one can¬not be too particular. Being arrest¬ed, like smoking and drinking, hasbecome so plebeian that no girl ofcharacter can safely rely on thisalone to establish her reputation.No. 4.

The Freshmenspend most time on their work—largely because they have not yetlearned effective methods of work—the Sophomores next, the Seniorsnext, and the Juniors last. Activi¬ties appear to make serious inroadson time in the Junior year, whereasthe Seniors in general realize theimportance of their soon to be endededucational opportunities. Ques¬tionnaires addressed to the facultybrought out a composite opinion tothe effect that students ought onthe average to spend fourteen to fif¬teen hours per week on each courseand the Committee sustains thisopinion.Little Serious ReadingThe amount of time devoted to seri¬ous reading not connected with cours¬es was small, averaging between twoand three hours a week. For thissituation congested library conditionsare in large part to blame.Much time is spent in gainful em¬ployment. About half of the men andabout a quarter of the women aree§rning a considerable proportion oftheir expenses. The time thus spentis in most cases from five to twenty-five hours a week, but runs in somecases up to fifty hours. Manystudents, chiefly women, who are notgainfully employed devote a consid¬erable amount of time to helping athome.Students Travel Too MuchA serious situation is revealed bythe section called “Time Spent InCommuting to the University.” Thisshows that about forty per cent ofthe students live so far from the Uni¬versity that they lose in travel fromthree to fifteen hours per week whilesome lost still more. This indicatesthat the University must providemore residence halls. The only two branches of athleticswhich appear to involve an excessiveexpenditure of time are football andbasketball. Membership on the foot¬ball squad appears to require fromtwenty to twenty-five hours per weekin work and results in a lowered ca¬pacity for study at other times. Bask¬etball requires less hours per weekbut the season is much longer andmuch more time is spent in trips toother universities.Student PublicationsThe majority of members of thestaffs of the student publicationsspend from five to ten hours a weekin such work, but. several of thosewith more responsible position reportfrom fifteen to twenty-five hours.' >se same figures hold for activ¬ities in the dramatic organizationsand for officership in fraternities orclubs.In general the student who partic¬ipates extensively in one activity isthe better rather than the worse forsuch participation; but an undesir¬able congestion of time arises whenstudents try, as a considerable num¬ber (though a small percentage) do,to combine too many activities.Student* Active SociallyThe average time spent in socialaffairs is about five hours a week—that is practically one evening a week—but a considerable number, morewomen than men, report ten hoursa week or more spent in this way.Voluntary physical exercise (notcounting gymnasium classes or mem¬bership or a University team) averages about an hour a day.The figures indicate that the aver¬age student goes to a regular play,a lecture, or a concert about twicein three weeks and to a movie aboutonce a week. The “movie fan” exists but is rare.,The time spent at religious meet¬ings or in social service work, or inrelated activities is in most casesabout two hours a week.The Committee has studied eachof the above questions and someother more minor questions in muchdetail and has in many cases madespecific recommendations which willbe studied by the faculty.Model Student BudgetIts most important general recom¬mendation is that each student shouldmake a time budget for his ownguidance and protection, that thisbudget should be well-proportioned;and should contain, for the followingactivities at least the amount of timespecified for each:Study and class attendance, notless than fourteen hours per week percourse.Serious reading not directly con¬nected with courses, not less thanfour hours per week.Physical education, athletics, ex¬ercises, not less than seven hours perweek. *Lectures, concerts, theatre, theequivalent of one evening a week.Social affairs not less than twohours per week as an average.Religious activities, social servicework or their equivalents, not lessthan two hours a week.Bargain Books inHistory, Biography, Science, etc.Woodworth’s Book StoreYOU'LL FEEL AT HOMEin our place because it is aheadquarters for college men.Whether or not you care tobuy some of the apparel es¬pecially selected and pricedfor undergraduates, you arewelcome here.Qlarlt (Daftfc anb QawjLREPUBLIC BUILDING * CHICAGO 11"cJUjiti for College Men by College Men” |Suits at $39.75, $42.50,$45.00 and $49.50BILL HAHN’S COLLEGE CREWMidway Masonic Temple61st and Cottage NEWSPAPERS STAND FORPROMPTNESS; UNIVERSITIESFOR ACCURACY—BURTON(Contiued from page 1)their researches closer to the fact,not indeed than the physicist, thechemist, the biologist, for they dealwith what their own eyes see, butcloser as a rule than the historianor the sociologist or the economist.”Newspaper an HistorianSpeaking of the newspaper as aninterpreter of events, President Bur¬ton referred also to the work of thehistorian, whose records of the pastinclude or imply a warning as tothe future. “This,” he said, “is pre¬cisely what the editor is constantlydoing.

When was the eoat-of-arms forthe University adopted?When was the seal first decidedupon? —Kitty.5. Please, All,in,What is the University’s officialathletic policy?. —Skeezix.Answers1. You’re right, Polly. The Forty-sixth Convocation was held especial¬ly for the purpose of conferring thehonorary degree of Doctor of Lawson Theodore Roosevelt. The President had arranged to come to theUniversity for a visit and to lay thecornerstone of the Law building. Itwas on April 2, 1903, that PresidentHarper conferred the degree on thefamous American and “chief magis¬trate of our republic.”2. Broadcast again, K. Y. W. I’mafraid your wave length was not longenough on that guess. For some rea¬son, the idea of a new institution oflearning in Chicago stimulated theimagination of the public at large.The impression appeared to be a»widespread as it was effective. Ordi-rily, students are gathered into theinstitutions in their immediate vicin¬ity. But the first freshman at theUniversity of Chicago representedthirty-three states, besides fifteenforeign countries and provinces. Onewonders just what the senior col¬lege instructors were doing aboutthat time, inasmuch as the majorityof the students entered during thefirst year must have been freshmen.3. At the suggestion of Mr. Rocke¬feller, the prospect of receiving RushMedical college as the Medical schoolof the University was considered in1894, but rejected. The President,anxious to forward the plan, consid¬ered the request of the Medical col¬lege to be admitted into the plan bythe University’s accepting the twolower classes of Rush as students ofthe University. Under certain re¬strictive conditions, the trustees ofthe University complied with the re¬quests and the new work began inthe fall of 1901.4. The coat-of-arms was adoptedin 1910, Kitty, and the seal in 1912.5. The official athletic policy, I’llgive you in brief. Here you are,Skeezix:1. Athletics were under Universi¬ty, not student, control, with thePresident of the University as chair¬man.. .2. The Director was not a profes¬sional coach, but & permanent mem¬ber of the teaching staff.3. Intercollegiate sports must bepurely amateur, untainted by profes¬sionalism.4. Members of the athletic teamsmust attain a high grade of scholar¬ship in order to enter any contests.5. Clean sport is insisted on.6. The number of intercollegiatecontests is restricted to a certainnumber of games in which the teamsmight participate.—ALL-IN. Discovery! The reason for the pre¬vailing crime wave which is rapidlyruining the country is known! Mrs.Winifred Sackville Stoner, Jr., theauthor of several books on the careof children, has revealed the factthat Mother Goose rhymes are oneof the principal causes for the greatnumber of criminals.Mrs. Stoner permitted herself tobe interviewed recently and the re¬porters, according to the “McGillDaily,” were told emphatically thefollowing facts:Simple Simon, meeting a piemanand making a request, the economicpremise of which was visibly falla¬cious, “glorifies stupidity.”Little Jack Horner, sitting in hiscorner and eating with his fingers,inculcates bad table manners.The spider in little Miss Mulfittand the lupine ancestress in LittleRed Riding Hood breed fear com¬plexes.The exciting verse—Jack, be nimble; Jack, be quick.Jack, jump over the candlestick—“puts ideas into children’s heads—they might kill themselves, or atleast do themselves bodily injury.”The tragic verse—Tom, Tom. the piper’s son,Stole a pig and away he run;The pig was eat and Tom was bear.And Tom jvent howling down thestreet—is clearly “bad grammar, bad mor¬als.”Mrs. Stoner, in lieu of this “nonsense which misrepresents life,” of¬fers some “jingle facts” of her ownwriting by which she hopes to oustMother Goose.Every perfect person ownsJust two hundred and six bones.Also:In 1732George Washington first said boo-hoo!Mother Goose herse*lf was not amyth, as is popularly supposed. SW*actually lived in Boston during the17th century. Her husband, IsaacVergoose (or Goose) already haueight or ten chilldren when she mar¬ried him, and with “six or more” ofher own she had splendid opportuni¬ties for composing her rhymes.INTERHALL VAUDEVILLESCHEDULED FOR TODAYPHOENIX QUTTHURSDAY (Continued from page 1)hearsed yesterday,” said Elsie Troe-ger, “we feel positive that this per¬formance will be just as successfulas it has been in other years, andwe urge every woman student oncampus, whether she lives at one ofthe halls or not, to come.”Tickets may be obtained for twen¬ty-five cents in any of the dormito¬ries or at the Y.

VARIETY OFRICKETSChickens have it now! Ultra violetrays have been used by doctors andpsychologists in connection withmost human ailments. Now theyhave begun to treat chickens withultra violet rays for leg weaknesses,according to an article in the “OhioState Lantern.”“Leg weaknesses in chickens correspond to rickets in children,” saidDr. D. C. Kennard of the Ohio Ex¬periment Station, Wooster. “Thatis, there is not enough lime in thebone to support the weight, conse¬quently walking is difficult.” Chick¬ens, to be healthy, must have atleast one-half hour daily in direstsunlight. This half hours’ exposurerenders them immune from ricketsand makes them healthy citizens ofthe barnyard.If chickens cannot be in the sun¬light enough, the article went on tosay, the coops should be furnish*dwith poultry glass windows, whichdo not, as the regular glass windowpanes, diffuse the ultra violet or veryshort rays of the sun, which are nec¬essary for the prevention of ricketsBut the poultry glass windows pro¬scribed are not exactly popular withthe farmer on account of their cost.For YourConvenienceMr. A1 TearneyAnnounces theDistribution ofSpecial StudentPasses WhichWill Begin OnThursday.These PassesPresented toThe Waiter WillRemove theCover ChargeFrom the BillAnd EntitleThe Party ToThe SpecialCollege MenuSuggestions.Be Sure ToGet Your PassTo-morrow AtYour FraternityHouse.PershingPalace64th and CottageGrove Ave.Dave Peyton’sSymphonicSyncopators Rifle CompetitionThe Women’s Section of the University of Chicago Rifle Club defeat¬ed the Women’s Rifle Club of Nash¬ville, Tenn., in their recent matchby a score of 495 to 488.Miss Fredricka Weitlauf of Chi¬cago had high score of the match,shooting a perfect score of 100 jpoints for the University, and the jother four members of the team fol¬lowed closely with tallies of 99 and98.The standings of the Chicago wo¬men were as follows: Miss FredrickaWeitlauf, 100; Miss Florence Eck- feldt, 99; Miss Marion Plimpton, 99;Miss L.
