Pierce few men not affiliated with Greek let- ter' organizations 'who' were present took on the whole an inactive part in the proceedings. This apparent lack * of interest among the so-called independent" men on the campus perhaps accounts for the intermittently recurring cry that the fraternities run student af- fairs at Michigan. The fraternities do make an organized effort to support campus customs and enterprises. With this in' mind, if he Is to main- tain his position.as a factor in cam- pus affairs, the independent should take an equal interest in the events and activities which constantly take place. The non-fraternity men will do well to make up for their absence from class meetings by casting a ponder- ed, intelligent vote at the election booths today. A THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD SUIT A sum of $1,500 has been granted by the Regents of the University to buy uniforms for ,MIchigan's band. This is one-half the amount necessary for the expenditure, and this morning the Board in Control of Athletics meets to decide whether or not it will grant the other half. ,Regardless of where the money comes from, the band must have new uniforms. Those used las season have served their purpose for thir, teen years, during which time has 'ome to them darns and patches of every make and variety. Now they have reached the last mending, and have outlived their final vestige of usefulness. Meanwhile other conference univer- sities have been more considerate of their bands. But a single university renewed its uniforms as far back as four years ago, and the remainder have all done so more recently than that. The Michigan band has used its outfit more than three times as long as any other conference univer- ,slty. That the band is deserving of weighty consideration in this regard cannot be doubted. The function of 'the organization is such that the Board in Control of Athletics should feel much the same concern as if the football team had not had a new suit of clothes for an equally long period of time. THE RURAL SCHOOL The little red school house, the cit- adel of the democracy of the past century, which has been idealized in the poetry and song of the nation, is still prevalent in many rural dis- tricts, though long ago it has out- lived its efficiency. The subtle humor of Mark Twain plus the sentimental hokum of Longfellow have served to make it a tradition in the eyes of the American farmer, and, consequently, most communities still tolerate it. In the seventies and eighties the little red school house performed a most ambitious function. Not only was it the scene where elementary instruction was given to the "bare- foot boys" and "coy and bashful maidens" of Longfellow's and Whit- tier's time, but it served as the so- cial nucleus of the community, where the bazaars, festivals, and even barn dances were held. It reflected the democracy and life of the village. But now in localities where the lit- tle red school house still erists it is a symbol of primitiveness. It is an impotent factor in moder education, and sentimentality ought not to inter- fere with its abolishment, together with the backward system of in- struction which has always been identified with it, in favor of a mod- ern scool. Such an insitution, known as the consolidated school, provides a bus to carry students to and from the building, thereby making it possible for more boys and girls to attend. Also because of the increased amount of funds available, a better building, modern equipment ,and more and bet- ter instructors are furnished, - in short, all the advantages of the city school. The problem of rural education has become more serious not because farmers will not appropriate enough money for the work, but because the little red school house has become so overly idealized that it has assumed the form of a tradition, the eradica- tion of which is looked upon by many farmers as sacriligious. According to reports a new class in creative listening has been creat- ed. It meets daily from three to five in front of the Arcade theater. There are no prerequisites and anyone can join the class. What a wonderful thing istthe radio. At Northwestern they are making efforts to get the mail to the dormi- tory women before they go to clash. They claim it relieves the anxiety of waiting.

THE PARMINTER Prize of a cop- per-riveted Fall cold goes to Math 51 which gr.ced by the presences of Jekyll and Hyde. The point system seems to be com- ing for its annual round of considera- tion by American universities. After an observation of the way the point system for women worked here before it was discarded ,and some participa- tion in campus activities,twe pro- nounce the point system impractical, unnecessary and undesirable. The Cornell student council propos- es a system which has for its pur- poses: "(1) to regulate and restrict the amount of activities in which an undergraduate may participate; (2) to improve scholarship and the stand- ard of curriculum work; (3) to dis- tribute student positions more wide- ly, creating a greater interest on the part of undergraduates as a whole; (4) to lessen the burden of excessive responsibility now placed on a small group"'. The student council at Ohio State proposesto place restrictions on the participation of students who do not maintain an average grade of C The Tulsa (Okla) Collegian states: "The faculty is certainly to be com- mended for taking the step it did in regard to regulating the number of active offices which a student might hold." We are firm believers in the law of supply and demand as applied to stu- dent activity leadership Any other method of controlling student enter- prise seems arbitrary, idealistic, and unwarranted. No standard of points could be devised which would fy more than one individual. The capa- bilities of students vary so widely that forcing one to restrict his activities to one or more fields may be quite un- just.' It is just as though we were to say to a business man with much cap- ital, you shall not invest in more than one business. The student with a generous allowance of talent should be able to capitalize on it to his best advantage. It is argued that students engage in too many actvities, to the detri- men of their studies. Is it not true that some students play too much billiards, or go to too many movies? Students ruin their health by overtax- ing themselves? It depends on the individual. He may have a nervous breakdown just as surely if he crams too hard, or if he plays too much tennis, or if he doesn't exercise enough. The point system endeavors to limit the amount of responsibility a student may assume. It might just as well attempt to make him sleep nine hours a day, or take a bath oftener than Saturday night. "But our student activities are dom- inated by a small clique of men and women," the point system agitators cry, "If we had more students inter- ested, our activityrmanagement would be impoved." True enough, if they would be more interested. But the es- tablishment of the point system here failed to ereate any important in- crease in interest in activities. There is no reason why it should. Student activities now are open to Ill who care to compete. If any man who will specialize on a single activity has a good chance to win there, how much greater hope has he of beating a com- petitor who branches out in several lines of endeavor? The growing im- portance of an activity calls more candidates and produces an automatic elimination of the honor collectors. The man who can handle more than one position well should be honored, and not handicapped. This is one set of conditions in which "to the victor the spoils" may be applied without intimating evil. CAMPUS OPINION Editor The Michigan Daily: On Wednesday Oct. 4, the freshman law class held a meeting at which they nominated officers for the year. In this morning's issue of The Daily there was published an article stat- ing that the Student council had de- clared the nominations void and giv- ing as a 'reason the fact that an in- sufficient number of class members was present. We would respectfully call the following facts to the atten- tion of the council and the student body as a whole. The total membership of the fresh- man law class,, according to the re- corder's office, is approximately one hundred seventy-five. On the first ballot there were seventy-five votes cast and oan the second sixty-five for the office of president, which makes the total of votes cast forty-eight per cent on the first ballot and forty-four per cent on the second. The junior literary class has a mem- bership of approximately eight hun- dred as near as can be ascertained. At its meeting something like one hundred to one hundred twenty-five Michigan Daily and Chimes for $4.50.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1922 Night ]editor-HARRY D. HOEY THE CAMPUS AND HAZING n order that the present year. may proceed unhampered by the occasion- al misunderstanding between sopho- mores and freshmen which ave oc- curred in the past, it is well at this time that the underclassmen realize the position taken by the University and the campus in general concerning the relations between first and sec- ond 3ear students. ' Mob hazing at Michigan has been practically . eliminated in recent, years due to strong student opinion against this brutal and sometimes fa- tal form of freshman discipline. The vast majority of responsible men on the campus 'realize the unfairness as well as the dangers of hazing, and consequently strict measuers have been taken to guard against any such unlawful outbreaks, and in case they occur, to punish those involved.m What little excuse there may have been advanced to defend hazing in- cidents in the past, namely ,that this was the most effective way to make freshmen observe the traditional rules, was completely done away with by the formation of the Underclass Conduct committee two years ago. It is the function of this committee to take care of all cases involving fresh- men who are delinquent in observing the disciplinary rules by which they are expected to abide. If a sopho- more or upperclassman feels that these regulations are being infringed upon, he need only report the offender to a member of the Underclass Con- duct committee and due measures will immediately be taken to bring the recalcitrant first year man back to the fold. In other words, sophomores must realize that hazing is a thing of the past, done away with by the mass of sane college men who have left their boyish bullying behind them. The freshman class must take into con- sideration at the same time, that its best interest is served in the adher- ence to Michigan's traditional rules Univesity Dining Rooms 1212 S. UNIVERSITY h.
