The plan is not a panacea for the

COL. JOHN C. COOLIDGE
With the death of Col. John C. Cool-
idge has occurred the passing of one
of the older generation of simple-liv-
ing, stern, kindly people that are New
England's men.
Living all his life on a little farm
in the New England hills, Colonel
Coolidge was thrust into national
prominence when his son, Calvin, suc-
ceded to the Presidency upon the
death of President Harding in August
of 1923.
Not many of the 29 men who were
fathers of Presidents who have lived
to see their sons inducted into the
highest of public offices, and among
those who did, Colonel Coolidge had
the distinction of being the only one
to administer the oath of the Presi-
dential office to his son. It was more
because of this than the mere fact
that he was the father of the Presi-
dent that caused the attention of the
nation to be directed to him.
Colonel Coolidge remained the same
resolute, taciturn, and keen-minded
man he had always been after his son
became President, living conformity
to the simple traditions that have
marked the lives of the Vermont
Coolidges for many years. Even after
his son became the occupant of the
White House, the father, though he
made frequent trips to Washington,
(always appeared glad to get back to
his little farm and to resume ' the
rigorous routine to which he had been
accustomed for so long.
The nation joins the chief executive
in mourning the passing of a great
and righteous soul.
A dog in the East has been found
not guilty of murdering a cat, the
court declaring an automobile re-
sponsible. Now does ,the driver get
the death penaly as was demanded for
the dog?
A New York Times headline says,
"19 Railroads Bolt Executives' Group
on Rail Labor Bill." Looks like
things weren't made interesting
enough for them

PAINTED DIFFERENT COLORS
To the Editor:
The Daily of the 17th carried a
very lengthy letter, by one Mr. Pol-
lins, that strikes me as being ex-
tremely unfair. I feel that it should
not go unchallenged. In that letter,
the author attempted to "eradicate
the false black spots" that he claims
Mr. Maurer painted in his lecture
on the coal situation. And how does
he do it? Only by the use of the most
specious arguments and the falsest
illustrations. Here are some of them: I
To prove that the conditions in the
mining fields are not so bad, Mr. Pol-
lins advances the startling fact that
the miners-happy souls-actually
are sorry for those who have to live
in the hot and crowded cities. From
this great truth, Mr. Pollins deduces
that the miners lot therefore, must
be a happy one. Or to follow Mr. Pol-
lins-the frog in the pond laughs at
the frog on the muddy bank--ergo
the frog in the pond is the most
blessed creature alive. The subtlety
of this reasoning not only astounds
but bewilders me.
But that is not all. With yet greater
seriousness, the author, to prove thel
munificence and kindness of the coal
operators in caring for the miners,
tells us that the "companies are now1
painting their houses different col-
ors." What generosity! What bene-
ficence! Evidently Mr. Pollins sin-
cerely believes. "if you cover the sur-
face you cover all."
Again, with equal zeal we are told
the miners who work for the H. C.
Frick company live in towns that "arej
quite desirable settlements hidden by
rows of shade-trees planted along ther
roadways and in the yards." Really,,
this reads like an ad in a Florida
newspaper. And frankly, I never,
have seen any such settlements built
for miners and their families. And,I
like Mr. Pollins, I can also claim the
doubtful honor of "always having
lived in the heart of the bituminous
coal field."t
However, Mr. Pollins finally shows
us that the miners do accumulate
great wealth-unheard of riches-in,
fact, he reminds us that lie knowsI
"quite a few miners who have at in-
Great regret is exhibited and ex-
pressed on every hand at the fact that
the vacation will not be changed, and
worse yet that another will not be
added. A majority of those who have
expressed opinions in the matter state
that as long as there has to be an
epidemic, they don't see why some-
one shouldn't get something out of
it. Of course, this excludes the doc-
tors.
But, you see, some eight or nine
years ago the Regents, God bless 'em,
set the dates for all spring vacations
for dozens of years ahead. Now the
Regents are the Regents, and their
word is law. It is as hopeless to try
to advance the date of a spring vaca-
tion as it is to change the time of the
next full moon. And even the moon
is moveable, they say.
4So the world will go, epidemics
come and go, but the date set by the
Regents for spring vacation will go
on forever.

Little Nell-Yest father thank God
I'm not abroad.
Father--Today the mortgage on
the farm is due and if we can't pay,
the wicked squire wilf foreclose.
Mother-But we haven't any money.
Father-No we haven't any money.
Dear me, if we only had Jack.
Little Nell-Oh, father, tell me
about Jack.
Father-Well, little Nell, Jack is
your half brother. Twelve years ago
we gave your brother Jack twelve
cents and told him to go out and buy
a herring. Even since nothing has
been seen of Jack or the herring.
Little Nell-Goodness if we only
had Jack.

bad Jack.

Little Nell-My name is Nell, but
they call me little Nell for short.
Stranger-Have you lived here all

Little Nell-No sir, not yet.

Father-Welcome squire.
Squire-You know I'm not welcome.
I am here for the mortgage money.

you haven't why then (glancing at

by our Nell..
Mother--Nd squire you ain't done
right by our Nell.
Stranger--No squire you ain't done
right by their Nell.
Squire-Very well then I'll have my
money.

throwing two cents in squire's face)
Here's your damn money. Go before,

FRESHMAN WEEK
Perhaps the greatest problem of the
modern university is that of making
ideal for the student the transition t
rgm high school life to that of the
college campus. At the present time
the change is far too difficult, there
is a sharp break from the old life to
the new. In the past few years, how-
ever, there has been notable progress
in the efforts of college authorities to
remedy the Tituation. One of the most
widely advocated and successful
methods of bridging the gap between
high school and college life is that
of conducting a "Freshman Week"
before the opening of school to ac-
quaint the new man with his sur-
r oandings, his future work, and the1
c : Tms and traditions of his univer-
President Little, in his inaugural
sa';ss brought out the problem of!
shI 'rc slinan and his confusion onI
iiariculation. He advocated the adop-
tion of "Freshman Week" for two
rejsns: first, that the entering man;
ma better appreciate his college;
and second, that the college may bet-
i (Ider nd the freshman.
The plan, as suggested, would re-
,; i ' ~Im freshman report one
week before the opening of school.
0 uring this week, the new men would I
be divided into groups of not more1
lh' i V0m1 y, under the leadership of
a faculty advisor. They would be
shown efficient methods of studying,j
take physical and intelligence tests
wbich would be an index as to the
type studies they could best pursue,
haive social affairs of a type that
would acquaint them with their class-
si t tttid perhaps be prepared to
withstand the rushing attempts of re-
turning fraternity men.
The results should be fewer cases I
of homesickness, the formation of
'tegula? habits, and the intelligent se-
lection of introductory courses. And
if the long needed freshman dormi-
tories become a reality in the not too,
distant future, they will not only aidi
in the solution of this problem, but,
materially help in the formation of
lasting friendships among all groupsf
of students.
The fact that the plan has been
tried out and found workable at othera

" S. S. GLENCAIRN"
The Mimes' production of Eugene
O'Neill's cycle of sea plays, "S. S.
Glencairn," is now being cast and
will go into rehearsal Monday even-
ing at eight o'clock. The role of
Cocky, the English cockney sailor,
however, has not yet been filled, and
Mr. Shuter is anxious to consider any
student, preferably a native English-
man, who cares to try out for the
part. The character has exceptional
opportunities, and the only necessary
requisite is a convincing cockney ac-
cent. All men interested in the role
are asked to report to Mr. Shuter at
his office in the Mimes theatre either
today or Monday.

"WHY MARRY"
A review, by Montgomery Butchart.
After one has said that the play was'
unusually or extraordinarily well
cast, ditto directed, ditto interpreted
and acted, there's really only this
good news to add: there are to be
two extra performances, tomorrow
afternoon and evening. After all that
had been said about Miss Bronson,
and Mr. Davies it was more than a
pleasant surprise to find others
worthy of high praise, particularly
Mr. Dale Shafer, in the part of John,
