When the forum opens its career at the Union this evening,, there will be a public place on the campus where a man may go and give his views'on any- thing he pleases. The subject which will lead tonight's 'discussion relates to the marking systems in the various colleges. It is a live issue. Almost everybody has some grievance against the existing procedure. The forum is. the placein which to discuss it openly and fairly. Virile men should participate in the forum. It is not a debating society, and it is not an oratorical contest; the unpracticed man with an idea will be most welcome. Freshman as well as Most-graduate may put forth his cause, or argue for or against another's cause, with an equally attentive hearing. If it fulfills its proper function, the for- um will be the men's discussion center' of the campus. The initial session will play a large part in shaping the des- tiny of the new institution.

(""""""""] S /I Now that transits have appeared on the campus, it will only require a mar- ble game to convince some that spring is 'here., Officiating at high school track meets is part of the life of a candidate for the Varsity. Sardine packers might learn efficien- cy from seeing the north wing stair- ways between classes. Oddly enough, the administration seems to be satisfied with the marking systems now used. Perhaps "Doc" can explain that spring does not account for all the missing overcoats. If professional lines are to be fol- lowed, why require opera chorus try- outs to sing? That thankful-looking fellow may be thinking of the 28 days in February. Ypsi formals being under way, your dress suit is in constant demand.
