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 CAMPUS OPIN4ON Anonymous communications will be disregarded.

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. * * * WEST LYNNE SCENE-The Old Homestead. I TIME-What's the difference. (Wind and rain without.) Father-What a terrible night to be abroad. 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. Tather-Yes daughter if we only bad Jack. (Knock on door) Mother-There's someone at the door father. Se who it is. (Father goes to door and upon opening it a stranger confronts him.) Stranger-It is cold and stormy without. May I have food and shel- ter? Father-Come in stranger. We haven't very much but what we have you are welcome to. Mother-Come father let us get the stranger some food. (They exit.) Stranger-Tell me little girl what is your name? Little Nell-My name is Nell, but they call me little Nell for short. Stranger-Have you lived here all your life little Nell? Little Nell-No sir, not yet. (Father and mother Teneter with food as knocking is heard on door.) Father-Come in. (The wicked squide enters.) Father-Welcome squire. Squire-You know I'm not welcome. I am here for the mortgage money. Father-But squire, the crops have been poor and- Squire-Have you the money? If you haven't why then (glancing at little Nell) ahem-ahem- Father-Squire you ain't done right 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. Stranger-(jumping to his feet and throwing two cents in squire's face) Here's your damn money. Go before, EDROLLS r//~/gr 1, I SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1926 Night Editor-THOMAS V. KOYKKAJ 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.

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.
