FEBRUARY 17, 1927WHAT OF ENCOURAGE SCHOLARSHIP WITH HONOR COURSE SYSTEMIT?fy(wotgeM»gensternThe Bis Ten Committee of Sixty,a band of prophets got together re¬cently for the laudable purpose ofrendering sports in the Conferenceas amateur as possible, has done itswork. The Committee first concocteda bull which stated that high schoolathletes should not be induced, bycolleges or by fraternities, in lieuof scholarships or any other type offinancial inducement to come to anycollege. It was also proposed thatthe athletes themselves be made to Friar Audience Sees “Plastered In ParisFUQUA’S CHOSENTITLE PASSED BYJUDGESJ)F SHOWPiece Is Result of Author’sMonths of Thought inParis, Says GeorgeBy George Morgenstem“Plastered In Paris,” is the titlepledge, lay their hand on the I of this year’s Blackfriars show. Nelssign aHoly Bible, give the Boy Scouts’oath, and testify if called upon so todo that they were receiving no emol¬ument for pursuing the goddessLearning at the particular school atwhich they found themselves.* * * *All this is all right. It gave, forinstance, the faculty sports adminis¬trators of such outlying and cricket¬chirping points as Iowa City, Bloom¬ington and Lafayette an excuse for j where the scene of the action is laid,coming to the big city for a couple Fuqua, the eminent Phi Bete author,who for eight months of last yearsoaked up the atmosphere of theParis cafes and American tourists tobuild the current show, has had hisoriginal name for the show passedby all the boys w’ho were in the rati¬fying positions.The title mustn’t be taken liter¬ally. It doesn’t reflect the doings ofthe show farther than indicatingof days diversion from the routineof college work. Possibly, too, theact of formulating the solemn codeof ethics and trade practice gave theboys on the Committee a mellow glowinside—a sense of righteousness andof fulfillment of duty. Here, theCommittee must have felt when look¬ing over its finished job. was a workwell done. It was business thatwould make the world a better placetake away the stigma of commer¬cialism from the glorious name ofamateur sport, and also remove theemphasis commonly put upon theathlete in college.* * * *And that again( for the Commit¬tee, that is, to feel well with itself)was all right. But for the Commit¬tee to take itself seriously is some¬thing else again. It has been pointedout often enough that the Commit¬tee’s idea of asking a paid athleteto tell the truth in a signed state¬ment were he requested to do so isvery much of a joke indeed. Thereare so many dodges that the collegewhich hires its athletes can pull. Itnever pays him outright. No; it giveshim a “job.”* * * *It may be thought by some ofthose who read this that the state¬ments made in this column indicatethat I think professionalism is rathera common occurence in the Confer¬ence. To which I ask—Well, isn’tit? The other day, for example, thefollowing letter, written last summerto one of the star freshman athleteshere this year, drifted into my hands.It is printed entirely as it was writ-on, names, etc., excluded:“Dear ;• ••••• |I was talking to Coach . . . yes-terday, and he is very much interest-ed in you and would like to get intouch with you, but Conference fulesforbid him to write to you unlessyou write first to him. I think hewould appreciate it if you woulddrop him a line. I think he has'Ome good plans for you.How are you getting along thissummer? This is a sort of lonesomeplace in the summertime.

PLAN ELIMINATESQUARTERLY TEST,DAILY ROLL CALLUniversity Senate ApprovesCommittee’s Findings;In Effect in ’28In recognition of the growing de¬sire of the scholar for more individ¬ual research and less strict supervi¬sion by the instructors, special“honor courses,” eliminating quar¬terly examinations andrequired daily attendance are tobe instituted for students with highaverages. By June, 1928, these pro¬visions will have been established inevery department of the University.These features, copied from thecontinental plan, are incorporated ina report released yesterday whichwas approved by the faculty on Jan¬uary 12, and by the University Sen¬ate on February 11. According toDean R. J. Bonner, who headed theSell Fifteen DucatsAffair Today ForBIDS DISAPPEAR , , th, fDcommittee during the illness of DeanII O nnn M MT ADC E. H. Wilkins, the original chairman,MO I ilUlwl ULMIAO the purpose of the plan is “to givethe student freedom to get somethingfor himself from books and his owninvestigation.” Final comprehensiveexams are to take the place of thequarterly tests and will determinejust how much the student has doneon his own hook.Courses LimitedThe “honor courses,” as they areto be called, will be open to all stu¬dents who have obtained an averageof B or better in five majors of theirprincipal sequence and who havebeen given approval by the advisersof the major department. However,no student may register for honorslater than the beginning of thefourth quarter before graduation.Students entering the Universitywith advanced standing will also beeligible for candidacy for honors.Honor students will have to reg¬ister for the courses necessary tocomplete their sequence as a mini¬mum requirement for honors, butthey may be excused wholly or part¬ly from class attendance and exam¬inations, at the option of the depart¬ment.

No other school in the west, and onlySwarthmore, Harvard and Vassar in the east, have arrived at thatstate of confidence in their undergraduate bodies which warrantsthe use of honors courses.In England and on the continent the business of having un¬dergraduates undertake the responsibility for digging out theirown material has flourished with admirable results for manyyears. Artificial incentives have never produced a truly culturedman. The impulse and the effort must come from within,Under the new system undergraduates with general and se¬quence averages over B will be permitted to take honors coursesin the department which they are majoring in. That is, they willbe permitted to do all the work “on their own,” with no require¬ment ther than the passing of a general examination in their re¬spective departments covering the last four sequence courseswhich they have taken.The Daily Maroon has long been urging the adoption of justsuch a system. The Daily Maroon believes that most students atthe University are here to work, and that if they are allowed topursue their own educations that they are serious enough to takeadvantage of all the university’s resources.The plan which the University Senate has adopted shouldbe applied to all senior college courses if it proves successful in thesequence courses. In BriefBy Dexier W. MastersThe conscientious club-women ofthe city including, for the occasion,Chief of Police Collins, yesterday af¬ternoon mulled over the ways andmeans of keeping suggestive playsout of Chicago theatres. And, ascould have been expected, slightlyless than nothing of value resultedfrom the conference. Those presentwere of one accord in agreeing thatsomething should be done to pi eventChicago from being blemished withthe same stigma that has recentlyspotted New York’s reputation, butthey were decidedly at variance onthe subject of what should be done.Chief Collins, evidently not cogni¬zant of 5he record attendances at“One Man’s Woman,” suggested thatthe public did not really find enjoy¬ment in shx plays or in the trashthey paid such exorbitant prices tosee. But the chief, despite his capa¬city, has the public catalogued in¬correctly for once.* * *Senator Dailey, the author of thereapportionment resolution now un¬der debate in the state senate, yes¬terday brought forth an argumentthat is a new phase of the Chicagodownstate feud ot the layman. Hecharacterized the fight for reappor¬tionment as a fight not betweenCook county and downstate but asone to uphold the Illinois constitu¬tion, which belongs neither to theone nor to the other.Continuing, Senator Dailey em¬phasized the fact that the real con¬test on this reapportionment of thestate would come from certain dis¬tricts in Cook county itself, whichwish conditions to remain as theyare.* * *Edward Litsinger, one of the num¬erous Republican candidates formayor of Chicago, yesterday statedhis platform and did so more defin¬itely thany any of his several previ¬ous and somewhat nebulous state-POSTERS PRINTEDat John Monroe's Print ShopTHE PALOS PRESS909 East 57th StreetTelephone Fairfax 10071Hours: 10-12 a m.; 2-4 p. m.DRESS SUITRENTAL CO.TUXEDOS(Collegiate Models)Perfect Fit GuaranteedRoom 310 CapitolBldg.3rd Floor.Randolph 3776State & RandolphANOTHER CONFERENCE Rogers PermanentWave Shop1120 E. 55th St.Price ListLANOIL $10CIRCULINE $10KEEN’S STEAM OIL.$10EUGENE OIL $12Marcelling, Shampooing,Facials, Specialists in HairDyeing.THERE is, in the opening of the Mid-West Student Conferencetoday at the University of Illinois, ample room for doubt inregard to the benefits which will be derived therefrom. The con¬ference is for the purpose of discussing, suggesting, and compar¬ing different forms of student government with the ultimate hopeof getting somewhere; and such has proven the exception ratherthan the rule.Undoubtedly there is something to the theory of student gov¬ernment. English schools have shown that, well-managed, it isunequalled; but it is similar to an autocracy, in that it seldomis well-managed. The circumstances for a successful student gov¬ernment are too exacting, too rare to permit it to exist at everyinstitution sailing under the name of school, college or university. sC'V'ot&GO/TOWER, 63RD AND BLACKSTONEO'dpfocAJim, (SmcajuJcVAUDEVILLE»-4ND THE BESTFEATUREPHOTOPLAYSComplete ChargeOr Program EverySunday & ThursdayBARGAINMATINEES DAILY *5THE PLACE TO SPENDAN AFTERNOON OR EVENIN6JUST! ments have been.

The an¬nouncement will probably come as asurprise to those who have beenwolfing at the Midway school for itslack of a conference victory duringthe last season.Michigan’s winning percentage is.729. The Wolverines had a bad yearin 1919 and it took them a couple ofyears to recover, but now’ they havebeen defeated but four times in thelast six seasons by conference teams,one of the most continuously success¬ful periods in gridiron history.The Maroons, in second place,have gone through eight consecutiveseasons for a percentage of .615.Except for the disastrous 1926 sea¬son they were wray ahead of the restof the field, and still they stand assolidly as ever with those footballfans whose horizon is of morebreath than one season.Illinois’ percentage is just aheadof Iowa’s, as they boast .609, 4points ahead of Iowa. The otherschools trail some distance back.Chicago leads in number of gamesplayed with a total of 44, while In¬diana has played the fewest with28 games. Sophomore Star InjuredPractice Scrimmage InV irgil Gist, who has proven to beone of Norgren’s best offensivethreats, will not be able to take thefloor against Northwestern Satur¬day. Gist injured himself in Tues¬day’s practice when in following upa shot he stumbled and fell on hisback. He is improving but he willnot be in condition to start Saturday.Just w’ho will occupy his forwardjob is as yet undecided. The old for¬ward combination^ of Zimmermanand Kaplan will probably start. Thispair played against Northwestern onthe Patton floor and functioned witha certain amount of smartness. Far-well will be ready to substitute eith¬er as a forward or guard.The Maroons will probably set aman to watch Fisher, the visitor’sace. Gist had this job during the sec¬ond half at Evanston, but Sackettwill probably watch the lanky Fargolad, who is half of Northwestern’sstrength. Frosh PrepareTo Make GoodAgainst VarsityRight now the project of the freshman tracksters is to get in shape forthe Freshman-Varsity track meetwhich will be held in connectionwith the I-M Winter Carnival March2-4.The outstanding men of the froshsquad have come this year in theshape of distance runners, and thebright star of this galaxy is Schultzwho specializes in the half and quar¬ter mile. Schultz won the freshman1000 yard cup race with the time of2:24. Faris, a two miler, was thefirst man to win his green shirt,while Max Mason, Jr., claims distinc¬tion as one of the satelites with athird place win in the race won bySchultz.For the rest of the events the teamis rather weak. Especially is thistrue in the pole ^ault, an event thatMaroon teams seem to be proverbial¬ly weak in. The high jumpers numberbut two men who may develop,Simpson and Masteys showing possi¬bilities of clearing close to six feetnext year. The timber toppers havea strong set of men with HaroldHayden doing almost varsity time,and Kennedy, his old time team mateat U. High, developing fast.
