Such an exodus as thislast was made. I recall, some five yearsago by the editor of the Syracuse•‘Orange Peel’’—a journal occupyingin its college a position parallel to♦hat of “The Phoenix” here. The edi¬tor of “The Orange Peel," in one ofhis monthly doses to the student-bodydropped a peel upon which he slip¬ped, and came down hard. The fac¬ulty mind was that the item in ques¬tion reflected what was termed offici¬ally “a low tone”, so the editor pack¬ed up and left for new fields. He de¬parted in a shower- of tossed roses,song, and praise. Attempts were madeas when in the middle age a famousholy men would walk down the thor¬oughfare. to kiss the hem of his top¬coat on the path down to the station.He had lied for THE CAUSE—thatcause, that is, which the studentsthought was a cause: the defying ofthe faculty for the benefit of the stuJes. |What if the rah-rah turned out to heraw-raw? The editor of “The OrangePeel” had done a great work.* * * *This is rather a nice way to getkicked out of school. If ever I make¬up my mind to get booted out ontothe sidewalk, I shall most certainlyadopt the procedure followed by theeditor of “Th Orange Peel.” Thereare lots of other ways of getting kick¬ed ut, too, but none of them quiteas good. True I heard of a very niceway the other day, hut it called forrather extraordinary circumstances.The kickees, in this especial instance,were eight students aboard the S. S.Ryndam, “floating college” now some¬where or other in the Pacific Ocean.It is, you will have to grant, one thingto get kicked out onto the cementstreet, and another to get booted overthe taffrail into the ocean. Not ;ill ofus can manage such a luxurious, anindividual way. We must adopt asimpler manner. Print 2,000 Copies of theLargest Edition ofCampus PaperWith the forms almost ready to rolloff 2,000 copies of the largest editionever published by The Daily Maroon,staff members worked late last nightand all day today, and will workagain tonight, putting the finishingtouches to the big Christmas issue ap¬pearing Friday.Featuring the biggest stories of theyear in the paper, Walter G. William¬son, Maroon editor, declared that hewill release as a Christmas present tothe campus, news that will keep thestudent body agog until the return toschool after the holidays.Announce Dance LeadersThe Washington Prom leaders, theMilitary Ball leaders, the orchestrasand sites for the two big dances, thetitle and authors of the 1027 Mirrorproduction, the winning manuscriptsand authors in the 1927 Black-friars’competition, the head of the twenty-third Stagg track interscholastic, willall be announced through exclusivestories in the Christmas edition ofThe Daily Maroon.Twenty pages will be devoted to amagazine section containing messagesfrom men of national and local fameto university students. Eight pagesof rotogravure with messages fromfaculty members to students will beincluded. Pictures of campus leadersand the newly announced dance lead¬ers have been placed in the rotograv¬ure section. Extra copies of the edi¬tion will be sold for te| cents. Sophomore feathers have come andgone!Three hundred and fifty crimsonplumes ordered for the members ofthe sophomore class have all been sold,and were seen on the hats of the ma¬jority of the class after chapel yes¬terday. Enthusiastic sophomores werestill clamoring for feathers after theyhad all been sold.An amazing variety of styles wereperceived in the adoption of the newsymbol of class spirit. Feathers tuckstraight up in front or in back likeIndian braves, or draped gracefullylike those in the famous Gainsboroughportraits, or broken off to a mere bitof the original ten inch quill were ob¬served as the Sophomores struttedaround campus, conscious of their newdistinction.

It was, probably, a “framed” pic¬ture, yet it reflected a condition which<»ne might well consider to be actualaboard the Ryndham. The photographin question showed six of the boyslined up along the rail, their shoulderssuspiciously hunched, hip-flasks pro¬truding front their rear pockets, anda group of other loungers sprawledjust as supiciously over the surround¬ing deck. I am sure that the picturewas, as I have said, “framed.” Fordoes not “The Binnacle,” official stu¬dent paper .put out on the boat, de¬scribe the activities of the ,boys afloatas contricted to “ a routine ofclassroom exercises and legitimate stu¬dent activities?” When one recalls theeight collegians who went down theplank at Kobe, Japan, however, one isinclined to believe that there may bemore than “the student orchestra,Planet Players, faculty teas anddances” described by “The Binnacle”m the line of diversion on the goodship Ryndham. Miss Charlotte Gower, graduatestudent in the department of Anthro¬pology, will lecture on “PrehistoricArt” at a meeting of the art club tobe held today at 4 in Classics 10.Miss Gower has been interested inspecial research work in the field ofprehistoric art. Last summer she wasthe leader of an expedition for studyand excavation in southern France.The art club considers itself fortunatein having Miss Gower address them,according to Isabelle Williams, presi¬dent of the organization. All Univer¬sity students have been invited to at¬tend the meeting.CAMPUS LIFE LESSEXPENSIVE IN 1890How far would a dollar and fifteencents a week go toward procuringa college education and good livingconditions today?“In the good old days ' of 1890 onecould have all he wished along thesetwo lines for just that price, accordingto an advertisement in the Fayette In¬telligencer of Columbia, Missouri,April 25, 1892.Description of the schoolhuse giv¬en declared that the student wouldhave all the accommodations offeredby a “commodious brick building sit¬uated in a healthy, highly moral andvery respectable neighborhood.Cap and Gown StaffAfter Activity SnapsWell, it was, as I say, a romanticway of getting kicked out of college.It would be an experience to remem-IR r- The boys tossed out made it i,even better, for two of the party be¬ing conducted back to the States un¬der the care of a professor, in order10 keep them out of mischief,, divedoverboard from the boat in which theywere leaving Honolulu, and returnedto the city.

TheMilitary ball rates as one of the hot affairs of the year.We have heard rumors from the sources that always rumor oncampus that some of the local authorities do not approve the exten¬sion of the Military party to the whole school. The dissenting au¬thorities claim that it is strictly an army dance and that it should beconfined to army men; that the $1000 or more that the ball runsinto is too much for such a dance and that there are too many likeoccasions during the year.Last year the ball was one of the most perfect of the season.Music, lighting, crowd. ., . everything was exquisite. It was one ofthose kind of dances of which the club secretary remarks in his notes,“a good time was had by all.”Our own inclinations have never been warlike. We would hateto be deprived of the privilege of attending one of the best of theyear’s dances, because of the fact that we don’t own a uniform.Moreover, the Military ball draws its crowd not through any bally¬hoo methods, but on its reputation. These are too many artificiallysupported institutions on campus at present and when we find onethat has as its backing only the desire of the crowd for one goodtime, and when that good time comes through, then we are in favorof letting it ride as is.

An¬ton Burg, Conference champion highjumper who has jumped six feet seveninches is the outstanding man on thesquad. Captain Jimmy Cusack ex¬captain and Captain McKinney, sprint¬er and hurdler are the other two let¬ter men. There is enough talent onthe team, however, to give most ofthe conference squads a good run indual meets. In the fifty yard dash,McKinney, Gleason and George Reedare the outstanding men. And BrandtWeddell are fair men. In the hurdlesMcKinney, Bob Spence and Weddellare all promising performers.Coach Stagg will not have a starin the 440 although it is possible thatJimmy Cusack will be moved fromthe half mile in order to fill the gap.Tommy Armstrong, Loren Apitz andStanley Rouse are candidates in thehalf mile. Chicago will have an un¬usual group of 880 stars, Cusack andWakefield Burke are men who aresure to clip two minutes or better.Virgil Gist is a good man, but is notlikely to be available for indoor trackas he is now trying out for the bas¬ketball team. In the distance eventsthe most promising men are DickWilliams, former Hyde Parker whois expected to run the mile, KeitliDugan, two miler, Gifford Hitz, can-tain of Cross Country, John Jackson,Aron Burntsson.The Maroons engage in their firstdual meet January 27th with Indiana.A succession of meets follow thisopening date.The freshman are now working fortheir green shirts in this branch ofsport. Rockne’s RecordAt Notre DameSpeaks VolumesWinning 82 out of 92 games hasbeen the record of Knute Rocknesince his debut in coaching at NotreDame. Ever since 1918 he has beenat the helm of the football teams, andby compiling such a record he is look¬ed upon as being without doubt oneof the three leading coaches in thecountry.It is Rockne that saw the possibil¬ities in the forward pass, and he beganusing this means of offense as soon,as it was made legal. It wa9Rockne that developed the idea of the“shock troops” being sent in to openthe fray, and then countering with hisfirst string men.It was Rockne that developed the“Four Horsemen” through their threeyears of college football, and it is prob¬able that all four would have madeall-American had they been separated.A fullback with the drive of Layden,a quarter with the brains of Stuhl-dreher and a pair of halves with thespeed of Crowley and Miller wouldhave made any coach cheerful for therest of his life.Rockne’s record of 82 wins is all'the more remarkable when one consid¬ers the schedules he picks out, andthe amount of traveling his teams areforced to do year after year. Theyhave earned the nickname of “Ram¬blers,’" and rightly so. During the1926 season they traveled from NewYork to Los Angeles, and from Chi¬cago to Atlanta, stopping at such inter¬mediate points as Pittsburgh, Minne¬apolis and South Bend.4It was the Pittsburg date that de¬finitely ruined the Notre Dame men¬tor’s dream of a national title thisyear. While he was attending theArmy-Navy game in Chicago the Car¬negie Tech squad tripped the SouthBenders by a 19-9 score, which provesthat it is never to late to learn.Until this year Notre Dame hasbeen accustomed to playing a nine orten game schedule but because his menbecame mentally tired Rockne haddecided that henceforth he will playonly eight games.Wabash Upsets BigTen Cage QuintsLittle Wabash, the terror of everybasketball team, has started anotherseason’s rampage with wins overNorthwestern and Iowa, the formerscore being 37-36 and the latter 28-13.Wabash comes from Indiana, that initself is enough. Indiana men can playJjasketball! This fact is attested to byno less a personage than Coach Mean-well. Believing in a hard pre-seasonschedule as the best conditioner forthis teams, Wisconsin’s mentor hassigned up a good number cf the littleIndiana schools for pre-season gameand states for his reason that they of¬fer better competition than the great¬er number of Conference teams. A special meeting of six representa¬tives from each of the ten Conferenceuniversities will be held in Chicagopt the Hotel Sherman the last of Jan¬uary. At the time of the recent con¬ference of the athletic directors andfootball coaches when the footballschedule was made up for nevt year,the need of such a meeting was sug¬gested and the group decided to re¬quest the ten, university presidents, theten chairmen of the Boards of Re¬gents, the ten faculty representativesand an alumnus from each of the uni¬versities to meet with the directorsand football coaches for the purposeof determining future policies of theConference and to assist in furtherequalizing Conference competition. Itwas decided today that this meetingwould be held some time late in Jan¬uary and practically all the personsnamed above have signified their will¬ingness to attend such a meeting.Among the matters that will be dis¬cussed at this meeting are the follow¬ing:1—Is the Conference a playingleague? The Conference was origin¬ally constituted for the purpose of es¬tablishing eligibility rules common toall of the institutions which make upthe Conference and for the purpose ofestablishing athletic standards. A greatmany of the alumni and the public areinsisting, however, that the Conferenceshould determine championships eachyear and with that in mind are insist¬ing that schedules be arranged forONLY ONE ALIENON HAWK SQUADIowa City, la., Dec. 14. 1926.—iWith the exception of one Floridan,all of the eighteen men, on the Uni¬versity of Iowa basketball squad claimIowa communities as their homes. Tal¬bert, reserve forward, has come fromVero Beach, Fla., to attend the uni¬versity. The Hawks, with last year’slineup nearly intact, are again point¬ing for title honors. 2—Schedules—The question of ro¬tating schedules, simultaneous homeand home games, long term contractsand intersectional games will be dis¬cussed.3—Equality of competition. As it isnecessary that two teams competingin a game shall observe one code ofplaying rules, so that the Conferenceauthorities are agreed in the interestsof equal and fair competition that it isfurther necessary that the ten Confer¬ence universities respect uniformity in’the matters which pertain to playingconditions off the field. For instance,the directors will request the presi¬dents, faculty representatives, thealumni and the others to assist themin reaching a uniform agreementwhich shall affect the ten universitiesalike in the matter or remission of tui¬tion, the granting of scholarships, loanfunds, the activities of alumni secre¬taries and so forth. The Directors be¬lieve that while there is very littlepreselyting and illegitimate recruitingon the part of the Conference univer¬sities, yet they realize that there hasbeen no prescribed uniform standardbinding all the universities alike in thepast.This meetng should be of greatvalue in assisting in the constructivework 6f the Conference and since allphases of university life will be repre¬sented will probably be more farreaching in consequence than anyConference meeting previously held.Badger Icemen InGrind For GamesWith the completion of the outdoorrink on the lower campus, Coach TomLiet>. temporary Hockey instructor atthe University of Wisconsin, is work¬ing the Badger puck-chasers daily.Several preliminary meets have beenscheduled to round the Wisconsintheam into shape for the conferencetilts with the Gophers and Michigan,the only other Big Ten schools com¬peting in the ice sport,that purpose.MAY POWERS MILLERTeacher of Piano ’1352 E. 55th Street STUDIOS 1810 W. 103rd St.Hyde Park 0950 Beverly 5009 WRIGHT HAND LAUNDRYWishes YouA MERRY CHRISTMAS ANDA HAPPY NEW YEARWe solicit your patronage — We aim to give the bestservice — All work properly launderedMending free.Tel.
