As the office was open¬ed for registration an hour anda half later the confusion was sogreat it became necessary to closethe doors within five minutes.“They acted like youngsters try¬ing to get free ice cream,” an eyewitness explained.A few minutes later the crashcame as the glass door of the of¬fice was forced through and againthe students made their demandsfor application cards. ’Lend to Him Who Barrows; Giveto Him Who Needs”—BreckenridgeSENIOR JACKETSGIVEN APPROVALRed Blazers to be Wornby Men and WomenSenior jackets were given official Isanction as insignia of the class bythe Undergraduate council at itsmeeting yesterday. The new tradi¬tion will appear on campus some dayearly next week, when they will beon display at the University Bookstore.The jacket, designed by MandelBrothers is to be a maroon color,with white trimmings on pockets andcuffs. It will be worn by both menand women members of the seniorclass. An emblem “U. of C. ’28” willappear on the upper left hand sideof each garment. Orders will be tak¬en some time next week.The senior council officially ap¬proved of this innovation at its meet¬ing last week and the final decisionby the Undergraduate council madethe plan assured. Only seniors will beallowed to wear them. The cane wasdisplayed last year by the fourthyear men on each Thursday and it isplanned to have the blazers worneither on Thursday or every daypending the decision of the seniorcouncil.Mandel Brothers have been madeofficial distributors of the jacket. “You are in hell when you callyour neighbor a fool,” stated DeanBreckenridge, leader in Social serv¬ice at the University of Chicago,and Dean of the College for manyyears, in her talk at the BondChapel religious service last nighton ‘‘My Philosophy of Life,” inwhich she emphasized love andknowledge as the two necessary fac¬tors of life.Beginning with a brief sketch ofher birthplace and the forces thatinfluenced her in early childhood,Dean Breckenridge spoke of thefactor of religion that had madesuch a profound impression upon her,particularly those verses in the Ser¬mon on the Mount that deal with aman’s relation to his neighbors andcommunity.“The doctrine of love and knowl¬edge found her has been what I havetried to work for,” said DeanBreckenridge. “Lend to him whoborrows, and give to him who begs.These precepts of love, combinedwith knowledge, are my philosophy,if you can call it such.”Grandparents of North and SouthDean Breckenridge was born justafter the war in one of the borderstates. “One of my grandfathers wasof the north and the ither of thesouth. My father foight for thesouthern cause, while his father andrelations were all for the northerncause. It was in this atmosphere ofuncertainty of viewpoint that I grewup. Very early I got religion and Iwas particularly impressed by theteachings of Christ in the Sermon onthe Mount,” she continued.‘‘If a man wants you to go onemile, go with him the whole way. Ihave had the opportunity of doing this with one who was not going asI would want him to go, but withwhom I went the whole way. It isthis way only that you can be ofhelp to such a one. Also give tohim who begs, and lend to he whoborrows. It is here that knowledgemay be shown. When I was workingin the settlements of Chicago, I notonly had to use this love to give tothose who needed money of me, butalso I needed the knowledge of howth man came to that economic status.“I know quite a lot about hell,”Dean Breckenbridge concluded.“Those who look down on theirneighbors are all there as well asthe man that discriminates againstthe negro or any other race. Iam beginning to be afraid that theNordics are all there. If we had notbeen so proud a few years ago, Chi¬cago wouldn’t be the hell that it isnow. Many of the evils of Chicagotoday were foretold in reports of im¬migration committees twenty yearsago.”ALUMNUS PRODUCESBROADWAY SUCCESS December PhoenixOn Campus TodayWhat’s wrong with the Phoe¬nix?” will be answered by Profes¬sor James Weber Linn, “Bucky”Harris, Sterling North, MalcomProudfoot, and others prominenton the quadrangles in the articlegiving their opinion of the “OldBird.” in today’s edition of thePhoenix.

Coe, presi¬dent of the Liberal club, Dr. Yarrosis well fitted to throw light on thesituation because of her experiencewith college people.The question has recently been dis¬cussed in the Chicago Daily Tribunewhich has printed the statement thatthe co-ed is a hawk in the marriagemarket and that she needs the malestudents, but that the men need toescape her. The Tribune seems to ad¬vocate segregation of the sexes. TheLiberal Club is opposed to this, be¬lieving that the solution in unwork¬able and artificial; and that the prob¬lem is not how to live apart, but howto live together.Many Respond In“Y” Finance DriveMarion McCann, whoplay* the role of Cleo¬patra, and James Parkerwho will be Rufio in theDramatic association*production of GeorgeBernard Shaw’s “Caesarand Cleopatra,” to bepresented Friday nightin Mandel Hall.

DOUGLASLEADS GROUP TOOPPOSE R. 0. T. C.Boucher Commends thePresent Systemat University“I am thoroughly in sympathywith the present military system inthe University,” stated Dean Boucherin response to the views of Profes¬sor Paul H. Douglas of the commercedepartment of the University. Pro¬fessor Douglas is chairman of a com¬mittee to bring about the abolition ofcompulsory military training at theUniversity of Illinois and all highschools throughout the state. Al¬though the entire program is not yetmapped out, Professor Douglas con¬sidered it sufficient to sketch its gen¬eral plan.“We intend first, through research,to learn the facts as they exist re¬garding military training at the stateuniversity,” he said. ‘‘In this we hopeto have the co-operation of the presi¬dent of the university and the com¬mandant of the R. O. T. C. here.”Methods Not DecidedThe committee intends to get themilitary status of the units in thehigh schools of the state, but its ex¬act procedure has not as yet beendetermined. It has not yet decidedwhether the effort for modification atthe University of Illinois should bedirected at the state legislature orthe board of regents at the univers¬ity, but it will bring the question ofdrill at the high schools before eachschool board for the people of thatcity to decide.“It should be considered at theoutset,” Professor Douglas continued,“that our committee is in no way at¬tacking the state university of thehigh schools. Our purpose is, as citi¬zens of the state, to be heard regard¬ing the curricula. I wish to say,also, that I am acting in this com¬mittee not as a representative of theUniversity, but as a private citizen.“There is no attempt whatever toroot out all military training at theuniversity. Our purpose there is sim¬ply against the compulsory feature.Plan Legally Feasible‘‘And here I might anticipate onepossible objection to the plan. Thefederal land-grant does not requirecompulsory mi’itary training at theuniversity to which it applies. It onlydemands that military training be of¬fered to the students without dictat¬ing that it be obligatory. Our organ¬ization has at its disposal an opinionto that effect written over the sig¬nature of Former Secretary of WarWeeks.”The chairman stated that he pre-ferr edto have the reasons for thecommittee’s stand withheld for awhile, and he also refrained fromgiving a detailed description at pres¬ent of the research work.The committee is composed of Il¬linois educators} clergymen, editors,attorneys, business leaders.Hold RegistrationUntil December 16 MASON WELCOMESPREP STUDENTS ATETA SIGMA PHI TEADean Chauncey S.

In compositioncourses and in courses of a highly specially nature such a pro¬vision is not out of place. But in ordinary courses, granted thatthe student is familiar with the nature of the material to becovered, we can see no reason for a qualification of this kind.In the first place, it seems a bit undemocratic and out-of-date.It smacks of city hall politics.Then, it seems like such an unnecessary waste of time. Ifa student has completed the required number of specified courseswith a reasonably high grade, he should automatically be qual¬ified to take any other particular course he desires. We cannotsee that the instructor should have anything to say abc ut it. Inthe great majority of cases students who ask his permissionare people he has never seen before. All he can do is size themup briefly, look at their record sheets, and write out the admit¬tance slip. Unfortunately, if an instructor, is not personally ac¬quainted with a student he hasn’t a single point on which to judgethe applicant other than the expression on his face or the ap¬pearance of his clothes.In a graduate course where classes are small and instructorsare generally acquainted with students, it is easy to see how asystem of this kind would be a good thing. But where the in¬structor and student are meeting for the first time, as is usuallythe case, we cannot see that the system is of any value whatso¬ever.JUST ACROSS THE STREETII7E walked past to the stadium today. By a concentrated effort” they have managed to get almost half of one of the cornersof the south stand taken down since the Wisconsin game.We are beginning to get optimistic. We think now that theyWILL get the thing down before it is time to put it back up again.A PARTING GIFTPROM the University Press has recently come a remarkable lit-* tie volume. It is entitled “The Changing College,” and hasbeen written by Ernest Hatch Wilkins, who was Dean of theColleges here for four years and is now President of Oberlin.The book offords a brilliant summary of college problems, andcontains much that we feel to be fine constructive criticism. More¬over, it shows an honest appreciation of the undergraduate view¬point,We wish to call attention to the last chapter, which consistsin an address delivered by Mr. Wilkins before the National Col¬legiate Athletic Association. The article is, we think, one of thebest we have ever read on the subject.The Daily Maroon heartily recommends the book to studentswho are interested in the advancement of the University of Chi¬cago as an educational institution.

Stagg Favors Two Teams Plait,Though It Is Not Practical Here'LAST YEAR’S CHAMPSPOINT TO REPEATAGAIN THIS SEASONAnn Arbor—With the initial con¬test of the 1927-28 basketball sea¬son a few days away, the Michigancourt squad is working out witheven greater determination in itsdaily practice sessions by which itwill prepare to defend the Wolverinehonors as undisputed Conferencechampions.Though comparatively unnoticedduring the football season, a groupof approximately twenty-five candi¬dates have been practicing for sevenweeks under the direction of CoachEdwin J. ‘‘Skipper” Mather. Withonly a few veterans reporting duringthat period because of football orloss by graduation, the Michigan men¬tor has had an apportunity to becomeacquainted with the new materialwhich has, moreover, shown up rath¬er favorably.During the last week, Oosterbaan,Harrigan, Whittle and Nyland, hav¬ing laid aside their grid togs, havealso reported to the court squad. Theformer two were outstanding Wol¬verine players last year, being chioc-es for the all-Conference team, whilethe latter were “AMA” winners.With the squad thus rounded outby the returning veterans, CoachMather with his assistants, Kipke andVeenker, will now be able to obtaina better perspective on all the can¬didates and to formulate a smoothworking combination which will beeffective in all departments.The three veterans of last year,McCoy, center; Harrigan, guard; andOosterbaan, forward, will undoubted¬ly form the nucleus of the new quin¬tet. To fill the other two positionsleft vacant by the loss of CaptainChambers and Petrie, the coaches willtry various combinations from theremaining material at their disposal.In this selection, Schroeder, a let¬ter winner last year and Gawne, Ny¬land and Whittle, all AMA winners,will secure careful consideration. Coach Stagg said that the twoteam idea in football is a “good planfor a university with 200 or 300 can¬didates for the grid squad becauseit gives thirty more men a chanceto compete” when interviewed yes¬terday. This opinion seems contraryto that of the daily newspaper scribeswho have quoted Stagg as scorningthe idea. This plan is an old one butit has never been allowed previous toa new ruling made at the Big Tenconference coaches held last week inChicago.Plan Not NewAccording to Mr. Stagg, the ideawas first sponsored by President Lit¬tle of the University of Michigan ata meeting of the university presi¬dents held a year ago. President Lit¬tle’s object was to stop the “massmigration” of students to the out oftown games by having a team play opthe home field. However the idea wasnot allowable in Big Ten circles untilthe coaches, in their annual confer¬ence held here last week, adopted thetwo team idea.Chicago Not Yet ReadyThe ‘‘Old Man” went on to say“that this plan could not be workednow” with the Maroon squad, asthere are not enough candidates outfor football. In fact, there was nota team left when the group returnedfrom the Ohio State game. It mightbe worked by picking out 30 to 33men for the first team and lettingthe balance form another team, butthe time is not yet ripe for ChicagoCOACHING CLINIC TOMEET AT MADISONAn extensive and interesting pro¬gram has been arranged by the Wis¬consin Athletic Department for theirannual Coaching Clinic to be held atMadison Dec. 9th and 10th.
