Mr. Millerwants to discover the interests of thefresh. The national fraternity was radio listening groups and the placefounds in 1895 at Yale, and the lo- ! education holds in the list.

There arefifteen men in the law school, and.six of the seniors will be back in.school next year.men m anyis nothing toACTIVITIESIn the past, there has been oneman every year who was a campusbig .shot, and who more or less con¬trolled the campus destinies of thefraternity. There is no leading lightthis year, and the hou.se has beensuffering as a result.Every single one of the nineteenmen in the hou.se is a member ofBlackfriars, but that in itself is notan especially notable achievement,unless, of course, if some of the'ophomores come through. It seems,though, as if the boys really get inback of the Friars shows with avengeance—nineteencampus organizationbe sneezed at.The Pi Li»ms have two men who iare business assistants on The Daily j.Maroon, and one man is a sopho¬more on the Maroon staff. One guyis an associate editor of the Phoe¬nix. Four of the fellows are takingthe R. O. T. C. seriously, and three |of them are .^taff officers.

There’s a guy who uses foils andsabres and things in fencing, and hehas lots of fun pretending to killpeople. One sophomore looks kind ofpromising in tennis, and that’s aboutall.They go in for intramural athleticsin a big way, and their name is us¬ually wandering around on the sportpage of the Maroon, after they wina league cup and stuff like that. Oneman in particular has been keepingthem uf), and he’s been captain ofseveral of the all-University honor¬ary teams in the past couple ofyears.THE OUGHDAY, THE OUGHDAYThey insist that there is no pledgefee or pledge dues of any kind andI think that we may say that thisis very fine. For a man living in thehouse the monthly bill comes to about$36 and for the men living outsidethe house $18 should keep everyonehappv including the stew'ard most ofall.You get all the advantages of thefraternity and none of the disadvan¬tages when you put $100 on the linefor your initiation fee. This includesslop, stuff, and slush, also allrugs in the front room and the privi¬lege to sleep in the house once in awhile w'hen it might be consideredindiscreet to go home. The last linewas written with the express pur¬pose of showing what a swell bunchof guys the Pi Lams are. See, theycan take a joke.The Alumni Association owns thehouse and the active chapter runs itand pays all the expenses. They saidthat anything about the house shouldbe taken very lightly because they’regetting tired of walking so far andthey’re planning to get rid of theirpresent location very soon. matic skits. Only when these inter¬ests are realized can educationalradio programs really begin to func¬tion adequately, he believes.Five thousand families will be con¬tacted.

Inasmuch as the public writesfewer fan letters to professors thanto dance band leaders, it is difficultto ascertain how many really enjoythese talks.Many estimates have been madeto ascertain what per cent of the list¬ening public actually write letters toradio stations.

Filbey, dean offaculties. This will include all newplan survey courses and all old planclasses.Under existing conditions it hasbeen possible for anyone to attendthe large lecture cla.sses, in which noassignments are made. The staff ofthe Biology Survey course has previ¬ously found it necessary to assignseats to prevent all the students fromattending at the same hour.At the end of the second week ofthe quarter, students whose namesappear on the official class list willbe given consecutive seats in theclassroom. The notice further addsthat “any other student who pre¬sents a receipt from the Bursar cer¬tifying payment of full tuition isentitled to visit classes, insofar asadditional students may be accom¬modated.’’ Occasional check-ups willbe made, therefore, by the instruc¬tor and his a.ssistants regarding per¬sons occupying the unreserved seats..Aid will be given for instructors whohave difficulty in identifying stu¬dents who are attending classes butwho are not entitled to; this aid willbe given them by Erne.st C.

ARCHITECTS“A man who has been brought up amongbooks and is able to talk of nothing else, is avery indifferent companion, and what we call apedant. But methinks, we should enlarge thetitle, and give it to everyone that does not knowhow to think out of his profession and particularway of life.Joseph Addison.The pedant is one of the oldest comedy typesin literature. Great, mediocre, and petty play¬wrights have allied themselves to ridicule his ab¬sent mindedness, his complete ignorance of theways of the world, and his vast maw of undi¬gested learning, crammed with the sententiousplatitudes of generations of academic thought.Popular opinion has regarded the man in academiclife, the student of letters, linguistics, or history,as utterly unfitted to cope with the exigencies ofordinary existence; he is represented as a vaguetheorist forming complicated logical schemeswhich have no relation to life as it is lived be¬yond the academic cloisters.On the other hand, the scientific brother of thepedant, be he never so narrow minded, is regard¬ed by the generality as being slightly higher thanthe angels. He still retains his halo even thoughhe is ignorant of everything that is not containedwithin the confines of his laboratory. A philo¬logist who ventures to express an opinion on cur¬rent affairs, religion, or anything not immediatelyconnected with his particular field is hooted downas an ignorant old fool; but should a physicistfavor humanity with oracular nothings, the popu¬lace applauds and waits with bated breath formore.This modern delusion as to the high inviolabilityof scientific fact, this frantic belief in the sacred¬ness of observed and recorded phenomena—andconsequently of the humble practitioner in theseoccult mysteries—form the basis for the presentcult of the natural scientists.The man who searches out literary facts and issolely interested in determining the approximatetruth about isolated historical incidents is justifi¬ably scorned as a pedant. But why not then,be consistent? Is not the scientist in his labora¬tory who devotes all his energies toward the ac¬cumulation of specific instances as much a pedantas his brother in the library? Does he not losesight of the main purpose in knowledge, whichis instrumental, and. in making a goal of themeans, neglect the ends?But we cannot argue that these men are notuseful to society. They are of value in the samemanner as the mechanic who builds our auto¬mobile, as the boy who delivers our groceries.They extend the boundary, not of human knowl¬ edge, but of the body of facts from which thatknowledge is drawn. They are the hewers ofwood and the drawers of water for their betters,the scholars. Their place in society is secure andvaluable, but that place is not in the educationalworld.A pedant left to his own devices, subsidized inorder to pursue his labours, is a harmless creature,docile, and useful. But a pedant in the lecturer’schair of any place but a university for the prop¬agation of pedants is dangerous to the studentswho must, perforce, listen to him.He does not say, as does the scholar, “Here isa scheme of knowledge which 1 have collected forno other reason except intellectual curiosity. Takefrom what I offer only that which will aid you tounderstand life better and to regulate your con¬duct of it.’’The pedant, instead, releases a flood of facts,which may or may not be arranged in an orderedsystem with regard to each other, but which arecertainly not correlated with the student's ownexperience. The unfortunate being before whomthe pedant leads his notes is not expected to re- ilate what he hears to anybody of knowledge he Imay have; he must sit, sponge-like, and absorb the 'system which is presented, and woe betide him if ihis memory fails.No fact is intrinsically justifiable. It is what ;we can do with it, how we can relate it to our Iexperience, and the manner in which it aids us jto understand life, that makes it valuable.Perhaps we can distinguish between the ped¬antic “raw empiricist” and the scholar by definingtheir attitude toward facts. A pedant views afact as a legitimate end in itself; for him the oh-!served phenomenon cannot be judged by any¬thing beyond the weight of evidence behind it.His interest ceases when he has recorded and sub¬stantiated his observation. On the other handthe scholar sees a fact as a manifestation of thelarger scheme of life. He cannot rest until he hasintegrated it with the remainder of his knowledge;for him, the correlation of fact with theory is theend of research.—G. M. Editor, The Daily Maroon,Dear Mr. Barden:I am a freshman in school andhave been reading the Maroon sinceChristmas time. I almost always readthe Travelling Bazaar. Gee it mustbe great to be able to get your namein that. At least I thought so withthe result that I looked over the ar¬ticles rather carefully in order to seejust who was mentioned in the col¬umn.In the four columns that mention¬ed any names I found that six fra¬ternities were mentioned. I had im¬agined that there were more fra¬ternities at school but I guess not.The name Alpha Delt or things abouta per.son said to be an Alpha Deltappeared four times. Phi Delt ap¬peared once. D. K, E. put in an ap¬pearance nine times. The other thfeeare Psi U., Chi Psi, and Phi Psi. ChiPsi’s were mentioned twice and theother two once.So the way to get your name inthe papei is to be a member ofDKE, Is it awfully hard to be onedo you think? I feel I know lotsabout them because so much i.s saidof them in the Travelling Bazaar.The boy that writes it must be swellto know them all.A Freshman.Actual statistics on this point are:Alpha Delta Phi or an Alpha Delt hasbeen mentioned 17 times; Psi Up-silon, 11 times; Delta Kappa Epsilon,9 times; Phi Kappa Psi, and Chi Psi,4 times each; Zeta Beta Tau and Debaters DiscontinueWednesday MeetihgsThe University Debate Union hasdiscontinued its regular Wednesdaynight meetings for the winter quar¬ter to devote its time to outside de-■ bates.

Gilson, assistant profes¬sor of Economics, declared that therewas no reason why there can not berespectable and decent places whereboth men and women can go to en¬joy drinking without the general pub¬lic’s calling it “demoralizing.” It isMi.'S Gilson’s belief that the, problem is to clean up and make thei drinking places decent for both menI and women. Miss Gilson sees no rea-j son why ihe same atmosphere thatj surrounds beer gardens and tavernsI in European countries can not berecreated in this country.“If allowing women to go to bars,”said Mrs. Mayme I.

Cimral led his teamwith five baskets, followed by Auf-denspring with three. Bob Perretz ofthe Zeta Betes was apparently stun¬ned midway in the second half by thediscovery of his girl on the balconywith another fellow. The effect onhis playing was obvious.Evidences of lopsided scoring inwhich the winners had little troublein piling up points were the Psi Uwin over Beta Theta, 44 to 2; thePi Lam defeat of Kappa Sig, 30to 2; and the Chi Psi whipping ofA.

ARCHITECTSway of life. Joseph Addison.The pedant is one of the oldest comedy types I PSADAISYin literature. Great, mediocre, and petty play¬wrights have allied themselves to ridicule his ab¬sent mindedness, his complete ignorance of theways of the world, and his vast maw of undi¬gested learning, crammed with the sententiousplatitudes of generations of academic thought.Popular opinion has regarded the man in academiclife, the student of letters, linguistics, or history,as utterly unfitted to cope with the exigencies ofordinary existence; he is represented as a vaguetheorist forming complicated logical schemeswhich have no relation to life as it is lived be- Iyond the academic cloisters. iOn the other hand, the scientific brother of the jpedant, be he never so narrow minded, is regard-1ed by the generality as being slightly higher thanthe angels. He still retains his halo even thoughhe is ignorant of everything that is not containedwithin the confines of his laboratory. A philo¬logist who ventures to express an opinion on cur¬rent affairs, religion, or anything not immediatelyconnected with his particular field is hooted downas an ignorant old fool; but should a physicistfavor humanity with oracular nothings, the popu¬lace applauds and waits with bated breath formoreThis modern delusion as to the high inviolabilityof scientific fact, this frantic belief in the sacred¬ness of ob.served and recorded phenomena—andconsequently of the humble practitioner in theseoccult mysteries—form the basis for the presentcult of the natural scientists.The man who searches out literary facts and issolely interested in determining the approximatetruth about isolated historical incidents is justifi¬ably scorned as a pedant. But why not then,be consistent? Is not the .scientist in his labora¬tory who devotes all his energies toward the ac¬cumulation of specific instances as much a pedantas his brother in the library? Does he not losesight of the main purpose in knowledge, which jis instrumental, and, in making a goal of the !means, neglect the ends?But we cannot argue that these men are not iuseful to society.
