WE, are making a careful exam-
ination of both oides of the condi-

reports tn all tie papers have been
exaggerated and tiat the faculty has
b'en put in a false light.

cated. Why is it that the students
on the north side of the campu are

that their action would result in the
building of the alks in the places
indicated.

Elmer I. Goshen, of Farmington,

of this victory, Mr. Goshen be-
comes Northwestern 's representative f1/~rf
in the contest to be held at Madi-
son, WiS., May 4, among Oberlin,
Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Chicago
and Northwestern universities. Mr.
Ericson will act as alternate.
Owing to a lack of proper instruc-
tions, the judges at first computed
their marks on the percentage sys-
