HowardA NEW FRESHMAN PROGRAMA new program for freshmen has at last been formulated. Thisannouncement will be music to the ears of those who have in thepast years helped gaping newcomers locate the Chapel, Harperlibrary, and points east and west. Tlie revision, though belated, isappropriate. It has taken the University two decades to find outthat the mind of entering students is not identically on a par withthat of the backwoods farmer lately arrived in a town boasting athree story building.Simultaneously the Green Cap rubbish (or whatever fancyname has in the past been appended to the group that only suppos¬edly exists) has been abolished. Again—an appropriate step. Ifthere was any value in that organization, the light has thus far beenconscientiously hidden under a basket. While the opportunity ofrobbing the green youngsters of their four or five dollars has beenwiped away, a great gain is brought about. Parenthetically, if it isnot amiss, we should like to inquire why the initiates were chargedfour dollars last fall for an eighty-five cent dinner and a fifty centbadge. Perhaps the remainder was deposited in a sinking fund, al¬though no records of such a fund are available.The plans for next fall are neatly in accord with the spirit ofthe reorganization. The entering student is allowed freedom ofchoice in his own program. If he cares to see the Field Museumrather than the Lying-in hospital, an opportunity for the choice willbe made by one of the twenty upper classmen who will act as guidesand personal advisors. If he chooses, on the other hand, to learnthe University traditions, cheer violently at football games, or runabout the quadrangles in a green cap, he is at liberty to do that,too (though it is doubtful whether he will find many comrades insuch a demonstration of collegiate enthusiasm).‘ In other words, the first quarter is, contrary to the time-honoredcustom, open to the freshman to do as he pleases. 1 wenty advisorsfrom the Junior and Senior classes will be appointed to take careof about twenty newcomers each. If the newcomers need or desireany care, well and good. They will get it. If they feel that theyare capable of taking care of themselves without any outside aid,well and good, too. They will be left to themselves. 1 his seemslogical and sensible. No proof is available showing that greencaps, bruised ribs, and last minute cramming of songs has made loyalChicago men. The sole result has been a personal graft and atremendous farce upqn^which the ex-freshmen look with disdain,and frequently bitterness. ^That * newcomers will appeal for advice and help rather thandepend upon themselves is.expected, however. The University willpresent a new aspect in the college world. Problems will occurrapidly at first, the sohrtibn of which will mean success or failurefor the individual. Under such circumstances, the position of thetwenty advisors is a delicate one, and one that needs sufficienttact and foresight at all times on the part of those who have beenselected. Haphazard or careless supervision may mean the loss ofa large percent of students and a black eye for the reorganization.If newcomers are to receive advice and help at all, it should begiven when needed; otherwise it might as well be omitted.The institution of this reform is another indication of the trendto place undergraduate undertakings on a basis of sincerity. Untilrecently it was supposed that the only reason for the existence ofany type of undergraduate activity, was personal gain at a minimumamount of effort in behalf of the University. The tide has turned.Personal gain is now being interpreted in terms of service to thecampus. The results are daily proving the value of the contention.The activities are becoming integral factors in a type of educa¬tion that cannot be found in textbooks or in theory.It is hoped that undei; conditions becoming more and morefavorable, the newcomer may be given a favorable start. . .

Thenwe direct attention to ourselves. 1 rue.we have that which we choose to callan education; we have far greatercontacts and a broader field of experi¬ence behind us than the non-collegeman, but somehow or •ther, ourmind gives way to conflicting doubts.There are many angles to a collegeeducation. It has its good points andits bad points, its ups and its downs,its encouraging moments and its dis¬heartening situations. Its value de¬pends to a very large extent on theindividual concerned. The majority ofcollege men and women undoubtedlyreap a good deal of profit and satis¬faction from their education. We liketo think that, anyway. On the otherhand, there are a large number of col¬lege graduates who would be better |off today if they had never sought aneducation, in the classroom, beyondthe bounds of their local school sys¬tems. They came to college with highasperations and lofty ideals, but werenot the type that could make effective (From The Daily Illini)Sophomoritis is a disease. Certainfraternity men, usually those in theirsecond year of college, are afflictedwith it. The malady causes thesemen to feel superior to the rest ofthe world.To secure relief from the plaguethat grips them, the men must havesomeone upon whom they can heaptheir indignation and show' of au¬thority. The freshmen fall' heir tothe honor of appeasing the diseasedmembers of the fraternity.Hell weeks are here again. Theend of the second semester is near.Initiations of second semesterpledges are being planned. Thosemen with sophomoritis will find sol¬ace for the freshmen.The only hopeful thing is thatsome day a freshman class whiledoctoring their superiors will becomeinoculated to the disease and will notsuccumb to its ill effects.use of what they should have gainedduring their college days. They hada taste of life among f<he educated or.W9 might say, in a social environmentwhose strata was above that of theaverage community. They learned tolike it. They looked about them andsaw' examples of college men who hadmade good and prepared themseles,emotionally at least, to follow’ theirfootsteps in a few years.When these students were grad¬uated, they found a world differentfrom that they had learned to idealize.They had prepared themseles for alife or plenty, comfort, and con¬venience, but they soon learned theywould have to begin work. Their col¬lege had taught them to be unsatis¬fied with conditions similar to thosein which they were reared, yet theyfound it necessary to revert to thesame type of environment after fouryears of college. They w'ere dis¬appointed, restless, and unsettled,largely because they had had a tasteof something for which their collegeexperience had failed to preparethem. They learned that the world isnot a respector of college degrees.Thus the question arises in themind of each student, at least onceand frequently more than that, “Isit all w’orth w'hile?” (From the Daily Cardinal, Uni¬versity of WisconsinIt is so easy for the dean of menor the dean of women to “pooh-pooh” criticism against them bysaying that these criticisms repre¬sent “abysmal ignorance and ridic¬ulous naivete” regarding most mat¬ters that one hesitates to make fur¬ther comment. But granted that thedeans are not responsible for studentconduct or discipline and that a com¬mittee on student conducts acts ineach case of discipline, it might beinteresting to learn from the deanswhat they actually do.I have had an opportunity to con¬sult over 200 students doing under¬graduate work here and did not finda single one who would even thinkof going voluntarily to either thedean of men or women for adviceor counsel. In this state of affairslies the crux of the controversy re¬garding these officials.The students of the University ofWisconsin have no confidence ineither of their deans. The report ofthe minority committee discussesthis in detail.Who in the world do Dean Good¬night or Dean Nardin think they are,anyway? To answer this question,one need only to read Dean Good¬night’s recent statement in reply tocritics of his department. Furthercomment on my part is unnecessary.As for the dean of women, thereport of the prohibition commission¬er to the effect that she impressedhim as being one “who would not beaware of these conditions if theyexisted” summarizes the general at-itude of the student body witb re¬spect to her.The students do not expect thedeans to be extraordinary, or peoplewithout faults. All they ask is thatthest officials have a minimum ofhuman understanding, the confidenceof the student, and above all, ordin¬ary common sense.Naturally, I expect this to btcalled an example of ‘abysmal ig¬norance and ridiculous naivete.’ “I’msorry. You see. I’m only a merestudent. But after all, aren’t weall? 1912 CLOTBES COSTWOMEN AU OF $90An average of from $90 to $200a year was spent by the universitygirl of 1912 for clothing accordingto a thesis written at that time.The ideal budget totaled $163 ayear and included under the sub¬ject of outside garments, a mediumweight suit with a belt, a wintercoat, a summer coat, an extra skirtlike the suit, a sweater, and a bath;robe. The dresses required were awool dress, a dark silk dress, a lawndress, a linen gow'n, a party gownand a gingham dress. A winter hat.summer hat. and wool cap werebought by the co-ed of 1912.The question of underwear wasnot as simple a one as it is now, forthis part of wardrobe comprised sixunion suits, five corset covers, threeflannel petticoats, and a black petti¬coat for w'inter alone. Then comesthe summer season with three com¬bination suits, two white petticoats,a gingham petticoat, a silk petticoat,two corsets, and three white night-gow'ns. Whether the nightgownswere worn in lieu of the presentfashionable day-time lounging ipa-jamas is not mentioned in the thesis.In the line of waists, the averagedressed women had two linen, a mod-ros, two lingerie, a cotton crepe, anda silk one. Six silk, two lisle, and twowhite pairs of stockings were wornin a year. Five pairs of gloves, andseven pairs of shoes fitted the maid¬en’s extremities. Other items werean umbrella, two velvet bows, twoDutch collars, two linen stocks, o silktie bedroom slippers, two dozen hand¬kerchiefs, and $10 worth of pins andtoilet article.s.PATRONIZE THE DAILYMAROON ADVERTISERS Supreme Court Stand MICHELSOIfS DEATHUn Ciag Law Approved ; _By Mi^n Daily gives GLIMPSE OF(From The Michigan Daily) iVAlIIl* HUThe famous Minnesota “gag” law, I f ilJuUCi l/lproviding for th.e suppression ofnewspaper publishing matter deemed [by authorities to be defamatory ofpublic officials or institutions, has atlast been declared unconstitutionalby the Supreme Court after a four-year battle in lower courts. This de¬cision has been hailed as the “greatcharter of the freedom of the Ameri¬can public.”W’hether or not the individual inquestion in the case had publishedsuch matter, was fortunately notconsidered by the court. The constitu¬tionality of the law was the point onwhich the debate centered, and thecourt held that it conflicted with thefourteenth amendment which providesthat “no state shall make or enforceary law which shall abridge theprivileges or immunities of citizensof the United States; nor shall anystate deprive any persons of life,liberty or property without due pro¬cess of law'.”It was held, on one side, that thisdecision would not peril the freedomof the press, but would provide aweapon against defamation.Newspapers have, today, in .somecities undertaken cru.sades againstorganized crime and corrupt goven-ment. One editor became so danger¬ous to such forces that he was mur¬dered. That publications should besuppressed for their attacks againstpublic officials who, they can prove,are guilty of malfeasance in office,is a direct denial of free speech. Al¬though the Minnesota legislaturemay not have had such a thought inmind when it pas.sed this law, it pro¬vided an excellent shield for the un¬faithful public servant who wishedto hide his illegal or neglectful acts.The supreme court rightfully hasreferred such men to libel laws,where they can obtain redress inproper manner. (From The Daily Illini)The death of Dr. A. A. Michelson,perhaps this country’s leading physi¬cist, gave to the public one of thoseinfrequent glimpses of the import¬ance of the pure scientists in our civ¬ilization.There are no individuals who aremore important. No matter whatform the state will take, they repre¬sent our one great hope of civilizedprogress, and it remains for the mod¬ern state to make every provisionfor these men. Genius should be pro¬tected and tolerated at any cost.And it is the pure science aloneupon which our progress dependsApplied science can but attempt toexpand the concepts that pure sci¬ence sets out for them. It has beenpointed out that nothing could haveseemed more abstract and thorough¬ly useless at the time of its earlydevelopment than the theory thatsound consists of the transmission ofphysical vibrations or waves throughan elastic medium, but without thatknowledge there would have been nophonograph, telephone, radio, ortalkie.One of the apparent reasons whyRussia will not progress as fast asshe might is because the U. S. S. R.is pressing its scientists to appliedfields solely.But we have almost a parallel insome of our industrial leaders, whocontrol the research laboratories out¬side of the educational institution,for are pressing down on their scien¬tists in these times when “overhead”is being cut right and left, with de¬mands that they do something use¬ful. It is obvious to everyone butthemselves that they i(re biting thehand that has made their bread.A AFeather Featherin inYankee YankeeDoodles DoodlesCapIt is indeed a compliment toYankee Doodle to be ^ble tosay that literally hundreds ofpeople have patronized his inndaily.
