She is a pupil of MadameYoung’s, and although she has re¬ceived flattering offers to appear pro¬fessionally, nevertheless she intendsto remain in college until she receivesher degree when she will probablytake up dancing as a profession. Hernantomime work is brilliant and Isknown best to the campus throughher recent stellar role in “The ChineseNightingale.” That interest in the coming Un¬dergraduate council and Honor com¬mission election is lagging is shown jbecause a very small number of stu-jdents availed themselves of the op¬portunity to register yesterday. Thetotal registration was less than 200,the freshman having 60, and theSophomore and Junior classes eachpolling 66. The Seniors did not reg¬ister as they do not vote in the elec¬tion.Unless those who did not register,yesterday do so Friday they will be 1unable to vote at the election. Regis- ji tration can be made only in person; Ij registration by mail or proxy will not |be considered. Students should regis- iter in the class to which they belong. ]If the student is within three majorsof an upper class he may vote withthat class. Any person whose regis¬tration is rejected due to reclassifica¬tion will be notified by the recorder intime to change his registration.Class tickets are not required forregistration. Reports of decisions made by theJunior class on the questions asked atthe Undergraduate council chapel as¬sembly were announced yesterday byLuther Tatge. Class insignia won bya vote of 206 to 47. Class jewelrypassed by a majority of 5 votes. Thewearing of articles of apparel wasthe only question which was voteddown.There was an overwhelming ma¬jority in favor of class competition,frequent class meetings and inter¬class athletics. A gathering place onthe campus was agreed on by a voteof 281 to 23. At a meeting of theExectuive Council held yesterday, aspot in back of the “C” bench wasdesignated as the most likely place.Three hundred and sixteen juniorsagreed to support any action taken.Inter-class athletics will begin to¬night, and the other decisions handeddown will go into effects as soon aspossible.Remarks which were added to theballots were, “Why not class colors?”“Class parties. Good ideas,” “Havemore chapels like this one.” “Morepower to your arm.” “Great ideas*go to it.” “Start right now.” “Bestideas yet.” “Class songs.”I'HOENIX DEADLINE IS FRIDAYDivinity Students BarSmoking—20Years Ago“Theological students at the Uni¬versity of Chicago last night voted tobar smokers from their dormitoryand to expel offenders unless they re¬form.”This interesting bit of news wasfound in the Evening Post of January31, 1921—resting under the literarytombstone, “Twenty Years Ago To¬day.” iAnd we are led to soliliquize as tohow things have changed around thesehere parts since they put sidewalkson Woodlawn and picked all the wild-flowers in the Quadrangle.

Campus interest is beginningto give evidence of becoming aroused,a^nd all indications point to a success¬ful intra-mural series.Last minutes statements given outby the presidents and athletic chair¬men of the various classes seem, forsome undetermined reason, to dis¬agree as to the probable victors in to¬night’s contests.

Arethey jumping on the coach and theteam as soon as we lose, as no doubtthe other conference schools will ac¬cuse them of doing?The Daily Maroon answers “No!”to all these questions and believesthat the feeling on the campus andamong the alumni will support thatpoint of view. These protestingalumni seem to have struck at theright spot. Chicago has wonderfulmaterial on her basketball team, Chi¬cago men and women are giving theirteams whole hearted support. Thewhole question evolves into the ques¬tion of coaching.Even five perfect individual playerscould not win over a competent teamwhich worked together, with a sys¬tem. The men must be coached sothat they can work together. It isunjust to them and to the studentswho support them to deal with thesituation in any other way.These alumni who have protested,know this. And because they believeit, they have written their beliefs,knowing full well the charges towhich they lay themselves open.Their complaint should be listened toif the situation is to improve.CONCESSIONSIn the administering of the neweligibility requirements with respectto physical culture credit, a so calledconcession has been made to the stu¬dents. If one is not more th^n twomajors behind in P. C. credit and isnow ineligible because he has notcredit for the past two quarters inresidence, by this “concession,” thephysical culture department will per¬mit him to count the two majors lack¬ing as the tw'o which he would nothave to take at he end of his career.In other words, the concessionamounts simply to allowing the stu¬dent at present to take his ten quar-ers of gym with the two quarters offreedom in the middle instead of atthe end. This pushing of the freeperiod down a few quarters is theleniency granted.This is hardly a concession at allwhen there are so many cases affect¬ed by the new ruling which will notbe covered by it. It is easy to seehow far the P. C. requirement hasbeen ignored to date by looking atthe eligibility blanks provided V»y therecorder’s office. There is no spaceto put down the P. C. requirements—they must be written at the side asa notation. Doesn’t it seem as if therightful concession would hr* to maketh(' ruling go into effect in the fresh¬man class at once and in the othercla.s.ses wait one, two or three yearsas the case may be before startingsuch a radical procedure. Then whenthe classes have left school whichhave been conducting their studentactiv^ities under the old system inwhich the gym requirement was ig¬nored by the recorder's office, the re¬quirement can be administered prop¬erly to the incoming clas.ses and noconcessions, real or imagined need bemade.WHAT IS EIJGIBIMTY?The question of eligibility for pub¬lic appearance has always been a vex¬ing one, even before the enforcementQll;p lail^ V.

A checker and chesstournament is being formed and willlast throughout the week. All Uni¬versity men are invited to participatein this activity. Those who are in¬terested are requested to sign up assoon as possible. The games will beplayed by appointment, the system be¬ing that each man plays all the othersin a process of elimination.of the P. C. requirement. The tech¬nical scholastic requirements, down inblack and white in your course book,page 43, have been stressed entirelytoo much. Conditions vary there somuch that the dozen or so lines ofprinting devoted to them cannot be¬gin to take into consideration the hu¬man side of the question.The real and vital phase of theeligibility question has been practical¬ly ignored for didactic arbitrariness.Section 6 on page 43 of the coursebook reads as follows: “Be in gen¬eral qualified, in the judgment of hisDean, to assume additional duties.”There’s the whole problem solved ina nutshell. Assuming that the ad¬ministration grants that the deansare qualified to judge individual cases—and it is taking all the vital life-giving humanness out of our institu¬tion if the deans aren’t so qualified—then no more words need be wasted.The decision will rest with the deanand not with three ounces of typemetal, now gone hence, and two inchesof s .and s. c. book paper.

All the letterswere intended for our communicationcolumn but the number received pre¬vents our ffivinp: space to them all.Below are printed in full the lettersof two alumni. The sentiments ofthe rest of the letters are expressed inthe quotations following the two com¬munications,DISSATISFIEDTo the Editor;Some of us alumni are dissatisfiedwith the basketball situation. Wothink that in Crisler, Birkhoff, Halla-day and Vollmer Chicago has four ofthe most skillful as well as tlie mostexperienced players in the conferenceand that if they lose yames, .some-thinK is wronpr with the coaching.We think that they played togetherbetter two weeks ago than they donow. We are disturbed when w* seeNeff put in as fifth man and Mich vanrun up a score of 6-1: Stahr finallysubstituted and the game practicallytied; Runyan put in for Stahr andMichigan score eight points to ournone; Stahr substituted again andonce more the team become effective,only not quite victorious. We thinkthat either Stahr must have beenbadly out of condition, which was netapparent, or else that very bad ’udg-ment was "bown.But our disturbance goes deeperWe cannot see why no goo*l man issecured to replace Page. We likeWalker, who did well in the footballseason. We should have been quitewilling to see him given charge ofbaseball, and perhaps of basketball;made a unit of authority under Mr.Stagg as Page was. Or, if Walkeris not the man, somebody el.se givencentralized authority. What we donot under.stand is this fiddling about,this messy experimentation. Arethere no good men available for thePage successorship ? We think weknow one or two.We think Mr. Stagg is the best foot¬ball coach in the country, and weknow he is the best influence for man¬liness among athletes. But we haveour doubts whether Michel Angelowould have made a good instructor insociology! or Napoleon a good tennisteacher!Yours truly.Alumnus,AHTLETIC ANARCHYTo the Editor:I do not wish to be understood tobe a variety of the common and de¬cidedly objectionable genus of fairweath'r sports, one who is the lastto praise success but the first to raisea howl over defeat. Our basketballlosses of the past week or so are notthe sole raison d’etre of this commu¬nication.To come to the point without fur¬ther delay, I believe that the athleticsituation at this institution is decid¬edly discouraging.Our football team last year was oneof the weakest, offensively, in the con¬ference, and yet we had good material,men who looked for a while as if theymight develop into a championshipaggregation. The reason it seems tome was that the coaching althoughnot bad, was decidedly insufficient.* ♦ * ♦Mr. Stagg was undoubtedly morethan satisfied with our recent show¬ing on the basketball floor. We madeonly four personal fouls in threegames, — a notable record. Cleanplaying is desirable, but not the endin view. Is it not possible to play clean ball and yet win? We hadchampionship basketball material thisseason. That is an incontrovertiblefact, I believe. We played in hardluck at Iowa, I understand. At Illi¬nois and in the recent Michigan game,how'ever, I believe the cau.se of ourfailure is to be found in another fac¬tor. Frankly, I hope not brutally, welost those two games through indif¬ferent coaching. Faulty judgment,very apparent to Chicago spectotars,in putting in decidedly second classmen at wrong times, men againstwhose insertion into the game the ma¬jority of the team objected, was thechief cau.se.This is not “inside dope.” It iscommon talk about the campus, I un¬derstand. Beneath these unfortunateslips in judgment was, however, thefact that the basic coaching of theteam this year has been faulty. Our“regional defensive system” of thefirst two games was simply bad bas¬ketball, as anyone acquainted with the•’•ame could tell you. The system wasdropped,—I would not be surprised ifthe dropping was done by the team itself. I have heard the belief ex¬pressed elsewhere.You will wonder where I come outin my little offensive. It simplycomes down to this: The “Old Man”has too much on his hands. We needtwo or three good assistants, wellpaid, for football, a good basketballcoach, and a good baseball coach, bothwith unlimited authority in their field.There is no reason why we cannotprocure the best. If our school is tohave any reputation in athletics to 1sustain, it must win something. Our Itrack team and in lesser degree manyof our other teams are devoid of ma- jterial because of the fact that high |school stars on their way to collegepass us by on their way to affiliate 'with teams of reputation. iLet us get rid of the athletic mon- 'archy, get more specialization in ourcoaching system and get out and besomething. If the athletic depart- j ment cannot see fit to make the finan¬cial investment involved in such aplan, as they are certainly well able,to do when we consider the receipts'from $3.00 football seats and $1.501basketball bleachers, perhaps we ialumni, or those of us who have the |wherewithal, can see to it that fundsare provided.“Twenty.”Other Sentiment Same.Other letters expressed the samedissatisfaction. “We need better of¬fense,” says one. “No team has abetter personnel, but the men haven’ta concentrated plan of attack.” “Outsider” explains that he has notechnical knowledge of basketball butthat he believes the Chicago teamneeds coaching. “A coach for everysport.” is his motto.“What happens to the money weget at the football games?” aska“Fan.” “Can’t we afford a coach forbasketball?”The letters are all in the same vein.Do you think the writers are correctin their standpoint? What’s the mat¬ter? Should any action be taken?Write your opinion to The Daily Ma¬roon.TRACK TEAM TRAINSHARD FOR 1‘URDUEMEET FEBRUARY 11DEANS ROBERTSON AND GALELAUD NEW TRAFFIC PLANSystem in Cobb Seems to Work Bet¬ter on Crowded Days.

This basket¬ball season the same thing occurred,making the whole affair appear quitecoincidental.Last year the Chicago team, byreason of playing more games wonthe Conference basketball champion¬ship with only a slight lead in per¬centage over Purdue. Chicago wouldnot take a post season game with theBoilermakers for some reason that isforgotten by now. Purdue did not la¬ment over the situation, althoughbasketball authorities in all parts ofthe country who had been watchingthe game closely, conceded that Pur¬due would have triumphed over theChicago team.Sad to relate, Purdue with only twomembers of the Victory Five left, isnot to be given the chance this yearto depict what they had planned todo last year. Purdue officials didtheir best to schedule games with theMaroon representatives, but all ef¬forts were in vain.Now that Chicago has had the ab¬solutely uncalled for and unplannedfor taste of defeat so early in theseason, alibis are being given pub¬licity so that all those interested inConference athletics will know justthe reason why.It is not considered good form toderide a fellow Conference university^r>r actions, past or present, but in thedaily life of the average man, thecheerful and smiling loser is ratedmuch higher than the loser whogrowls about his bad luck and thensearches for alibis.—Purdue Exponent.('ap and (Jown Staff MeetsThe business sjaff of the Cap andGown will meet Thursday at 3:30 inthe Cap and Gown office, Ellis 3.CLASSIFIED ADSFOR RENT—2 rooms and kitchen¬ette, reasonable. 5800 Maryland,3rd.

Thebusiness end of the institutions aswell as the educational are to be in¬spected.Carl E. Steeb, Secretary of theUniversity of Ohio State, said, “As arule the legislators in Ohio are not ina position to compare Ohio State withother large schools since this is theonly big school in the state. We be¬lieve that the trip will prove a greatthing to the University and that thealready favorable attitude of the leg¬islators toward Ohio’s biggest schoolwill be increased after the journey.” ANNOUNCE DATES FOR | SET GOAL OF $6,000 FORWOMEN’S TANK MEETS i “CHICAtiO IN CHINA’ FUNDGAVEL MEETS TOMORROWAT 4:30 IN CLASSICS Winter quarter swimming meetsfor the women as now scheduled willl.e on Feb. 16, Feb. 25, and March 3.Some of the events which are draw¬ing particular interest and promisekeen competition are: Side strokefor form, crawl for form, breastiti-ke for form, and trudgeon forform.
