Masonin HutchinsonUndergraduates will be received bvPresident Mason at Hutchinson Com¬mons February 10. instead of Feb¬ruary 12. as previously announced,Graham Hagey and Aimee Graham,co-chairmen of the reception, statedyesterday.Plans are being made by the com¬mittee to have at least 1,000 undergrad¬uates meet President Mason person¬ally. Mrs. Mason will also be presentto greet the students, and several uni¬versity officials and their wives willbe in the receiving line.The reception will be held at theC ommons from 7:20 to 0:30 o clock.There will probably be a three pieceorchestra, according to the committee’sarrangements. Tentative plans are toprovide refreshments, also.Invite All UndergraduatesThe committee emphasizes the factthat every undergraduate is invited tothis reception, to hear President Ma¬son speak and to meet him. Sometime ago, in giving his impressions ofthe University after his first quarterhere, in an interview which was pub¬lished in The Daily Maroon, PresidentMason expressed a desire to becomebetter acquainted with the students ofthe University.

Just for instance, there isthe kind that mountains wear, andare usually cold and white; andthere are the caps that cartridgeshave, and that are anything butcold, and are not white; and thereare the kind, generally unpleasant,that climaxes have. Recently, onthe campus of our University hasappeared another kind of cap(sometimes dignified by the nameof toque.) The reason why ofthese toques is to make known tothe campus the class status of thewearers.Queries, “a la Inquiring Report¬er,” shot to various possessors ofthese new top pieces, have broughtout the fact that they are popular.Their popularity, statistics show, arebased on 3 factors political, econom¬ical and artistic-political, becausethey save the Senior the embarrass¬ment of being hailed a Freshman;economical, because possessing one,there will be no need of an invest¬ment in a spring bonnet; and artis¬tic—well, who will deny that thegreen ones make good pocket hand¬kerchiefs? Campus Splits asCouncil ExcludesMaroon Reporters\\ hether the Undergraduate councilwas justified in forbidding a reporterfrom 1 he Daily Maroon to enter ameeting has divided not only the coun¬cil itself, but the student body also.This fact became apparent todaywhen members of the governing bodyexpressed themselves on the matter,giving rise to comment of leaders incampus activities. At yesterday's meet¬ing, where the question was raisedI and settled by a 9-2 vote, Charles An-; derson, president of the council, andI Allen Miller, leader of the senior class,j fought their brother-members to an! unmistakable defeat.“Technically the council lias the| right to bar a Maroon reporter." de¬clared Miller, “but ethically the ac-| tion was not justifiable. In the first| place it is an insult to the integrityof The Daily Maroon, and in the sec-| ond place it denies the public the privi-■ lege of learning what their electedI representatives are doing with theirI power.Defending the other side of the ji question, Graham Hagey, former pres- CLASS DEFEATSPROPOSED GIFTBY 276 TO 50Think $12 a Year for TwentyYears Too HeavyAn ExpenseWe are not in favor of the proposedendowment plan.So decided the members of the sen¬ior class at their chapel gathering yes¬terday, when they overwhelmingly re¬jected the proposed insurance endow¬ment plan, whereby the class of '26was to make a $150,000 gift to the Uni¬versity. The proposition was defeat¬ed by a 276‘to 50 vote.The project was outlined some timeago by Charles F. Axelson, ’U(>, ofthe Board of Trustees. Each seniorwould take a $250 endowment policy,according to Trustee Axelson's explan¬ation at last week’s chapel meeting,on which he would pay $12 annuallyfor a period of twenty years. At theend of this period, the entire sumwould be turned over to the Univer¬sity.Think Plan Too ExpensiveWIG AND ROBEHEARS DARROW . .. .

Thethree one-act plays on the bill are notdue for a long run cither here or any¬where else, if present plans are fol¬lowed; tomorrow night, indeed, willmark the only other performance ofMr. Trehow’s mimes (good word,mimes).All this, however, is beside the point.The real news is, not that the show’scoming off tonight, but that I give itmy unqualified and expert approval.Mr. Frank Hurhurt O’Hara and theboard of Kleagles of the Playfestthought it’d plug the ticket sale ifsome established campus dramaticcritic were to give the show his en-do.rsement. Last night before dressrehearsal, accordingly, they started toI look around.* * *But critics were rather scarce. Mr.Alfred Frankenstein had taken himselfoff to a bassoon recital, and there real¬ly wasn’t another bona fide expertaround. At the last moment, and as alast resort, I was pressed into service,mv doubts as to my credentials forsetting up as a critic cleared away,and T myself let down into a seat inMandel to see the show. Thus it isthat I, and not Mr. Frankenstein orsomebody with the true critic’s look,give my sanction to whatever the as¬sociation sees fit to put on the boardstonight. For, even if it isn’t any bet¬ter than what I saw last night, it’llstill be a very good show.The first play which I saw was “TheGat,” featuring Messrs. Kerr andWebster, and a mail-order revolver.(The Tribune can get an editorial outof that). The revolver was shot offat the end of the show, and that, onthe whole, was the big noise of theperformance.Mother-love, self-sacrifice, and th’(Continued on page 4)GEOGRAPHERS GETHONOR AT MADISONThree faculty members of the Uni¬versity were honored with executivepositions in the Association of Ameri¬can Geographers at a recent meetingheld at the University of Wisconsin.Prof. J.

Reporters, themembers feared, might misconstrue the council’s proceedings; andtheir presence the frank discussion necessary to the council’s success.The result would be inaccurate stories and stilted meetings.This decision shows a misunderstanding of the true nature of agoverning body. Government, the council apparently believes, isa business to be carried on in secret. Questions are to be proposed,discussed, and voted upon, behind closed doors; afterwards, the re¬sults are to be announced to the public which waits outside. Anypart of the discussion or voting which the public might misunder¬stand and disapprove is to be censored from the report; at any rate,it is not to be stressed.Such a view of government is out of date, in America at least,by a century and a half. It is not the view that we, as citizens inthe making, ought to learn. Government is the public’s business;and the public has the right to know in every detail how its businessis transacted. To say that the public might not understand, is noargument; a council must so conduct its business that the public andi *vep a reporter from The Daily Maroon) WILL understand. Tosay that council-members would be embarrassed in an open meet¬ing, and afraid to say what they think, is a confession of weakness.The councilor’s job is to say what he thinks, and to say it aloud. Hiswords must stand the test of-public criticism. He must speak and actin broad daylight. If he is afraid, he is no true councilor.

No champion¬ship work was exhibited but probablythe wily basketeers are keeping some-ing up their respective sleeves to usein the semi-finals next week.Poctpone TiltThe Alpha Delt-Phi Gam tilt sched¬uled to be the high spot of the eve¬nings play was called off since theAlpha Delts were initiating. Thusfar neither of the teams has beenbowed in defeat and the game wouldhave been a finish affair. The ChiPsi’s and Phi Psi’s however staged anip and tuck battle that had all of theearmarks of a real contest. A fewmoments before the end of the fraywith the count 14 to l.r> the gamewas anybodies until the Chi Psi’s bydint of having the better basket eyessank two counters to the Phi Psi’sone and took the honors. 20 to 16.The Phi Psi’s, last years champs,might have turned the score aroundif Drain had not held them in checkwith a fine exhibition of guarding.Easy WinThe Phi Kaps put on a runawayact with the Lambda Chi Alpha tos-sers and took home the bacon to atune of 47 tp 1. The looser’s guard¬ing was a bit weak and the PhiKaps bombarded the hoop with greatsuccess. Hibbott with eight baskets,Johnson with seven, and Christiansonwith six led in the orgy of scoring.The remaining games were fairlyeven. Everyone on both teams brokeinto the point column in the Phi BetaDelta-Alpha Sig tilt with the AlphaSigs trailing on a 14 to 11 score.Place and Padock accounted for theBeta win over the Zetes, totallingeighteen out of their team’s twenty-one points. Eckstein and Westermandid the heavy point work for theZetes, who were able to garner onlyfifteen points to the Beta’s twenty-one.GREEN AND DREXELHALLS WIN TILTS INDORM BASKET MEETGreen defeated Greenwood 21 to 18after a bitterly contested battle andDrexel ran away with Kelly to thetune of 19 to 8 in the inter-dormitorytournament games played last Wed¬nesday. The outcome of the strugglebetween Green and Greenwood was irdoubt until the last few minutes ofplay since the score was tied througha great part of the game and bothwere playing their hardest. In th°end Green came out victor becaus'their teamwork was superior to thatof their opponents.In the Drexel-Kelly battle Drexe1got its advantage during the secondhalf and during the first part theplaying was about even on both sides.As a result of last night’s conteststhere have been several shifts in thestandings of the halls.

Ata loss as I am, I still throw out myquestions. Perhaps some condescend¬ing being among The Authorities willanswer them.I am made the subject of a maud¬lin attack by Terrible Turk in today »Whistle for my uncompromising at¬titude in regard to the chapel rush¬ing argument, presented yesterday in“these columns.” Despite all the win¬dy mouthing of Turk, I feel it myreluctant duty to extend my palm andsay, “Your hand, old man, your hand.’’For Turk has come around to my viewafter all. He has, doubtless, read myyesterday’s column and seen thelight. He is for more and merrierchapels. He acknowledges the chapelas a forceful rushing argument. It issuch things as this that make me be¬lieve that, after all, even the mostignorant of humankind can, by judi¬cious distribution of enlighteningreading matter among them, in timebe reclaimed from barbarism andabject stupidity.PHI DELTA PHI PLEDGESPi Delta Phi announces the pledg¬ing of Hulda Zimmerman of Dubuque,Iowa, and Rosalind Mallory, of Chi¬cago.J.

Norgren’s Maroonsfigure prominently. They arc at thebottom of the heap in one and at thetop in another, according to statisticsgarnered by the Big Ten Weekly.Maroons Average LowThe Bartlett performers have scoredan average of 6.3 baskets a game while,conversely, they have been counted onby an average of only 6.6 throws percontest. This indicates that althoughthe Maroons are the poorest offensiveteam amongst the;* contemporariesthey also possess the sturdiest defense.It accounts for their present .500 rat-| ing.These same figures reveal the fourleaders in scoring; their averages areIndiana. 12 baskets a game; North¬western, 11.8; Michigan. 11.6; Pur¬due, 11.2. However the defenses ofthese same aggregations seem to suf¬fer in turn as they are also at the bot¬tom of the second column with thefollowing averages Michigan, 10; Pur¬due 11; Indiana, 11.8; Northwestern,12.2.Defense PoorThe violent reaction which theguarding undergoes when scoring isstressed is clearly shown by thesenumbers, and goes to prove the factthat it is almost impossible for agood offensive team to also exhibit un¬usual defensive power.GYMNASTS OPEN BIGTEN SEASON AGAINSTCHAMPAIGN TURNERSTonight at 8 in Bartlett Gym, CoachDan Hoffer’s celebrated gym teamopen the season when they meet thedark horse of the Big Ten, Illinois, inwhat promises to be a closely contest¬ed struggle.
