Hume, Jr. THE PRESS CLUB FAILURE Last year's Press club convention of state edi- tors was an i1nqualifled success. Most of tht 150 editors in attendance le l well pleased with their experience. This year, - spite of the favorable impression made by the 3rst convention, the edi- tors did not attend. tOne editor claimed that the reason for non-at- tendance was two-fold: the convention was not ad- vertised sufficiently nor far enough in advance and tile selection of the convention days was unfortiu- nate in that the meetings started upon the day when the country weeklies are published, Thursday. There is a Iere possibility that the editors thought there were to be too m-ny theorists on the pro- gram. If this is the case it is regrettable because a little theory-would not go amiss in the average newspaper office where theory and ideals are all too often sacrificed needlessly to practicality. The prime necessity to making the neeting a suc- cess is large attendance by the editors. Perhaps another year it will be possible to hold the meet- ing earlier in the year, say during the football sea- son on a big game weep-end so as to provide the visitors with some pleasure interspersed with their business, although it is regrettable that this seems necessary. More advertisng at an earlier date and a larger proportion of t;lks by the editors them- selves might ie drawing cards. A new selection of the convention days would doubtless make attend- ance much -naore convenient for the editors, say from Thursday evening to Saturday evening. If these measures are reasonable they should I tried out. If not, others should he evolved. The association is too pregnant with possibilities to be allowed to di, of inanition.

Night Editor-RENAUD SHERWOOD /KNOW- YOUR U'NT ERSITY The first chair of Science and the Art of Teach- ig in the United States was founded at Michigan rnder the direction of Prof. William Harold ayne, who wrote five authoritative books on educa- on and published translations of as many others. GIVE THE STUDENT HIS SHARE "This week's index number based on the prices er pound of thirty-one articles used for food shows loss of twenty-five and a half per cent from the umber of the like week last year," declared the ovember issue of Bradstreet's Journal of Finance id Political Economy, which goes on to say that holesale food prices are the lowest in three and half years. Why, then, are Ann Arbor boarding houses uarging from ten to twenty per cent more for food tan they'did after their last year's advances? Where does this difference between a twenty-five r cent decrease in raw materials and a fifteen per nt increase in selling prices go? The students ve as yet received no benefit from the big break iood prices that has taken place since the mid- e of last summer, and there is too much "velvet" xmewhere. t Part of the difference, of course, may be laid l the increased cost of gas, rent, coal, laundry, d the other elements of "overhead," but when te increase in overhead is pro-rated over two to ae hundred boarders, it gives no justification for e discreperlcy between the movement of the holesale food market and the eating house rates Ann Arbor.W Just who is feathering hs nest - whether the holesaler who sells in Ann Arbor, the retailer, or e boarding house proprietor - is hard to say; it. if the proprietors.of the eating places are not aring in the reductions, they should take action r the benefit of their patrons. Retail cuts have already been made, however. >r example, the price of potatoes is only a little ore than half what it was at the same time last ar, coffee of a certain brand has gone down from rty-seven cents in January to thirty-nine cents ts in the prices of nearly all kinds of meats have en made, flour by the barrel is forty per cent less an it was when at its highest point and twenty :r cent less than a year ago, and both sizes of ead have gone down two cents a loaf. It is also ie that in many cases the boarding house deals rectly with the wholesaler, thus saving a large are of the retailer's profit. The price of food is the prime factor in deciding e cost of board in Ann Arbor. Besides being by r. the most important material, it is used as the rrency with which most of the help is paid. The e dollar increases given a few cooks are insig- icant when compared with the saving made -ough paying waiters food that costs less. With prices tobogganing all over the country it is ne that students be given their share of the bene- s in the form of lower board rates. TH1E 1HONOR SYSTEM (From the Mir'nesota Daily) The University of Mir,..esota five years ago ini- tiated into its curriculum what is known as "The Honor System." By placing the student body on its honor during, examinations, a certain trust was given it which can never be violated. It Evas a ttep toward a larger, fairer, more thoroughly or- ganized university. High school was left behind, and the student body entered the portals of woman- hood and manhood, toward life's realities, which are based on honor and trust. If one cannot be trusted to do the right, the honorable thing, respect is shattered. Possibly a little explanation of the honor systen would be of benefit to every student. " T. The one giving help is as guilty as the one receiving it. 2. Failure to report one who is cheating places you in a dishonorable position. Such are the two-fold duties of the Honor Sys- tem. To violate these obligations is to forfeit your riiht to be considered in every sense a part of the University of Minnesota.
