FISE BREAKING THE BACKBONE OF FOOTBALL, any other, optimistically predicts a majority of over a million votes forl his party, but, when one considers that the conservatives began their govern- ment with a clear majority over their opponents of seventy seven repre- sentatives in the House of Commons, one may safely rate his figures a little high. It is certain that the election. will be close and hard fought. There is more involved in its re- sult than the mere defeat of the Con-" servative party; there is more to con- sider than the rather interesting rap- prochement and union of the two wings of the Liberal party; if Stanley Baldwin wins his fight with enough of' a majority so that he may consider his policies as approved by the people, and his requests to be freed from the pledge of Bonar Law, as granted, he will proceed to change the whle fis- cal policy of the English nation. England has prospered and flour- ished under free trade for eighty years, and the characteristic conser- vatism of the English may turn from such a radical change. Speculation is rife as to whether Stanley Baldwin can carry through what Joseph Chamberlain tried to do in 1903 but failed. The fundamental basis of the situation has altered since the con- servatives tried to change twenty years ago, however. In those days, England was the work shop of the world, the creditor nation of nations, and now she is the largest debtor of any nation. This makes a vast differ- ence, and probably explains Mr. Bald- win's move as a move of a man with courage which can face a nation with an issue, cons'cious that he has op- posed to him, a newly united party in the Liberals, and a strong opposition in the Labor party. TEACHING A PROFESSOR NEW TRICKS Interesting indeed, is the result of the recent questionnaire circulated among the junior class of Princeton university to ascertain the success of the new four course system of study, instituted there at the beginning ofj the current semester. The class in question is the first to be affected by the new plan which calls for the carrying of only four courses during the two latter years of the student's collegiate career but involves the ex- tension of outside reading require- ments and is intended to stimulate the student to further investigation along the lines of his major courses. Resulting from the circulation of formal question blanks among mem- bers of the class of '25, the concensusE of opinion was in favor of the plan now in practice but with only half a dozen exceptions, those who expressed their approval of the plan were dissat- isfied with the present methods which are being used to carry it out. None but a questionable few of the entire Ii~II)llIf1FMIftfffJ7If/IfffII - OAV F L L THE WORLD WAITING FOR THE SUNRISE i rk f r k CAMPUS OPINION Open Until evenings Christmas, Another thing the jolly old universe! has been waiting for for about a month now is the Lucky Strike coup- ons. Everybody saw the signs in the windows a long time ago, telling us all to keep our optic apparatus trained on the newspapers for the Lucky Strike coupon which would en- title us to a package of the Cigarette of Nations for 9 cents. (The 9 cents being just to cover the cost of pack- ing, mailing, etc., we presume.) Well, we looked and we looked, anfd every- body else looked and looked-and no coupon appeared. We kept on buying our package a day at the regulation 15 cent rate. And then one fine day the tobac- conists hoisted a sign into the window bearing the joyful news: TODAY ISI THE DAY! and telling everybody to get out the old newspaper and the old shears. . . . But the coupon was not in the paper.J BUT TODAY BY GOSH WHILE WE?

NOT FROM THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION To the Editor: In your editorial this morning with reference to the use of athletic funds you fall into an error which seems to have been quite common since the' announced action of the Regents of last week. That action was not taken with reference to any proposal sub- mitted by the Board in Control of Athletics or by the Athletic associa- tion. There has never been any stad- ium plan adopted by our Board other' than the one of which the present south stand is a unit. While I am not in position to speak as an authorized representative, I am quite certain that the action of the Regents was occasioned by a very common, but unofficial, agitation among students, alumni and, perhaps,; faculty.'
