As itwas felt that one week did not givesufficient time for the various groupsto start an intensive rushing program,the campaign has been prolonged.During this week, the clubs will con¬tinue to seek new members fromamongst the University students whoare not affiliated.At present there are nearly one hun¬dred clubs on campus with an averagemembership of forty. Their activitiescover the entire range of interests inwhich college students may conceiv¬ably participate. They range in mem¬bership from those of one departmentto a membership of those of one race.What’s On TodayMeeting of First Cabinet of Y. M.C. A„ 4 :S0, Y.

This is the firstissue to appear since the merger ofthe Circle with the humor magazine,and, according to Fred Handschy,editor of the newly combined publi¬cation, it contains the principal at¬tractions of both.One of the stellar attractions ofthe number is to be a highly amusingpicture of the undergraduates of the“naughty nineties” contrasted withthe undergraduates of today, byProf. James Weber Linn. It will beaccompanied by an excellent cari¬cature of the author by Gonzales,whose work was an outstanding fea¬ture of the Circle during the pasttwo years. The article itself will beillustrated by Bill Cotant.Howie Mayer, a former student atthe University who is now with theChicago Evening American, is doingan article which he calls “The Notor¬ious Collegian.” It is a lightly sat¬irical expose of the daily newspapersin feeding bum stuff about collegepeople to the public and the futil¬ity of trying to do anything about it.Other first-class features of thenumber will be “Extra-CurricularCharacters,” by Irma Selz, “A MinorExplosion,” by Daniel Cotton Rich,and “The Private Life of Juliet Cap-ulet,” by Jo Waters.The drawings will be done by BillCotant, James Root, Victoria Smith,Irma Selz, Raoney Bennett andothers.TEACH NEW LOYALTYSONG TO WOMEN ATFEDERATION TONIGHTMrs. Charles Robbins, who has ledthe singing at a number of W.

Need Document to ProveLegality of ExcludingRepresentativesBy H. Van BurenAttempts to determine the legalityof the action of the Undergraduatecouncil in barring the public fromits meetings, were halted abruptlyyesterday by the discovery that theconstitution of the body was not tobe located.Prominent faculty members andauthorities on parliamentary law re¬fused to express any opinions on thequestion of the right of the councilto exclude its constituents, until theconstitution had been located toshow where the powers of the bodyare derived.Dean James Parker Hall, head ofthe law schools, declared that hewas hardly in a position to pass uponthe legality of the council action un¬til he had seen the official statementof the powers of the organization;Whereupon a search was made forthe constitution of the body.The office of the recorder, store¬house of official papers connectedwith official University bodies, wasvisited, but a memorandum in thefiles disclosed that their copy hadbeen out since the middle of thesummer. Frank O’Hara, director ofstudent activities, had no trace ofthe missing document, but affirmedthat the office of the dean would bemost likely place to locate it. MissGordon, secretary to Dean E. H.Wilkins, declared that the document,she thought, had been lost since lastsummer and was unable to saywhether it had since been found ornot.Miss Gordon declared that a de¬termined search would be institutedand the missing constitution wouldbe located within the next few days.The question of admitting notonly reporters but any member ofthe undergraduate student body tomeetings of its council has now beendefinitely brought before the atten¬tion of advisory groups. Decision ofthe matter rests with the constitu¬tion. The finding of this documentwill settle the question, provided thatit contains a clause definitely desig¬nating the meetings to be eithersecret or open.THEOLOGIANS WILLCONFER ON CHURCHCOOPERATION HEREThe Chicago Theological Seminaryand the Divinity School will be jointhosts at an Inter-Seminary Confer¬ence Feb. 25 at the University.

They sing stilted, grandiloquentlines to melodies that are no longer inspiring. Or,they devise songs that try to be unique, but stillfail to stir the heart.Chicago shares this need. Dr. Lewis’s AlmaMater is as noble and genuinely dignified a col¬lege hymn as we have heard; but our more in¬formal songs are weak. When the news-filmshows a Wisconsin football team, the organistknows what to play; when a Chicago team ap¬pears on the screen, he is in a quandary. Thereis no song that connotes Chicago wherever it isheard.“Our Chicago," the song that won the Women’sAthletic association’s prize, made its appearancein the bookstore yesterday. Tonight the womenof the University will try it at a Federation sing.We haven’t yet heard ‘‘Our Chicago’’ played orsung. .

Without him the Maroonsseem to lack the backbone of theirdefense. He has been more or lessincapacitated for, the last threegames due to a bad leg. but if hisrecovery can be hastened enough toput him in condition for the Wed¬nesday game the Maroons may pullout of their present slump.A great deal will also rest on theability of the Maroon guards to stopthe sensational George Spradling. atpresent high scorer of the confer¬ence.

I had found such libel there be¬fore; I expect I shall find it in thefuture. I am surprised at TerribleTurk; the tenacity of the fellow isbeyond belief. Here (and I appeal tomy supporters for verification ofthis statement) I have cracked himsquarely on the button, not once,'but dozens of times, and left himprone on the floor. Yet, each timeas soon as the ammonia has broughtj him to again, he totters to his feet,I sways dizzily for a moment, and ther.i swings out blindly, in the hope ofconnecting with my chin on someone of his random failings. (All thUyou understand, is metaphor.)I suppose my supporters believeit my part to resort to the usual pun¬itive measures ,,'bnce again;, andavenge myself for Turk’s latestseries of scurrilous remarks. But Iam a humanitarian, I have a merci¬ful heart. I find it beyond me tobring myself to carry the shamblesfurther. I appeal to Turk’s seconds(for he himself has not the goodjudgment to do so) to throw’ up thesponge. I call upon them to carrytheir misguided champion off, tostraight-jacket, to gag him, if needbe. I advise them to sit upon hiskicking form if he show’s resistance,for I point out to them that thefarther Turk goes, the more pitifuland inadequate his attempts to dealme out blow’ for blow become.

But as theaffair wore on it became apparent thatChicago had a big edge on the Purdue-men although the score itself wasn’tquite as overwhelming as the Chicago¬ans would have liked it.Cusack IllThis was due in the main to thefact that Captain Jim Cusack ranunder the handicap of a slight illnesswhich enabled Little, star distanceman of the Purduites, to beat him outof firsts in the half and the mile events.The rest of the team however was infine shape as was shown by their totilof seven firsts to the Boilermakersthree.

The first-nameddemands service, and the second and third produce it.Lacli puts something essential into railroading, andgets—or should get—something of equal value outof it.The patron puts in his money by the payment ofrates, and he deserves to receive in return the satisfac¬tory transportation he must have in order to carry onexistence under our modern civilization. The ownersupplies the investment required to build and equip therailroad, and he deserves to receive in return dividendscomparable to those which investments in other fieldswould yield him. The employe puts in the labor neces¬sary to make the machinery provided by the ownerproduce transportation, and be deserves to receive inreturn fair wages and reasonable conditions underwhich to work.The close interdependence of these factors is evidentfrom the fact that the rates ])aid by the patron rewardboth the otvner and the employe, the plant provided bythe owner gives both service to the patron and theopportunity for employment to the employe, and thelabor of the employe gives a going value to the plant ofthe owner and likewise renders service to the patron.All these factors are indispensable not only to the con¬tinuation of the service hut likewise to the success ofone another.The link joining these three interests and actuallyoperating the railroad—originally representative of theowners, but increasingly responsible to the patrons andthe employes—is the railroad management. With thegovernment as final authority on rates and wages, it isthe duty of the management to provide efficient serviceunder p.oper working conditions, pay all operating ex¬penses, taxes, rentals and interest on bonded indebted¬ness and still have something left for dividends and forinvestment in the property in order to expand forfuture needs.Such conflict as has arisen among the three humanfactors interested in railway service has concerned it¬self mainly with the monetary items of rates, wagesand dividends. There has been much less discussion ofthe things the money has paid for—the amount andquality of transportation, the adequacy and efficiencyof equipment and the skill and willingness of laborwhich is a good sign that the foundation of railwaysendee is secure. In connection with the monetaryitems, it should be well to remember that the test atany time of what is high or low or what is readableor unreasonable in rates, wages and dividends is notnecessarily a comparison among these items themselvesor a comparison of each with what has been paid be¬fore; the real test is the relationship these items bearto the current costs of other services and of com¬modities, to dividends in other lines of investment andto wages in other lines of work. A money payment ishigh or low only by such a test of contemporary com¬parison.Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.C. H.
