There is on the campus at the present time a very definite move-I ment to make easier the freshman'sf transition from high school to col- lege. Quantities of publicity matter are mailed to every incoming fresh- man in an effort to help him solve, some of the perplexing problems which will confront him on arriv- ing in Ann Arbor. Freshman week has been instituted at an enormous expenditure of effort and a con- siderable expenditure of money. Each freshman has been assigned a faculty adviser to whom he may appeal for advice or assistance throughout his first year. Now an effort is being miade to defer the rushing of freshmen by fraterni- ties so that the freshman may choose his fraternity more deliber- ately and, it is hoped,,more wisely.I All this solicitude for the freshman is a recognition of the fact that the yearlings of today are less mature til 6 o'clock in the evening, all pol- ling to be done at the Union, where details of the election can be hand- led with the greatest ease. Argu- ments in favor of the amendment have been repeatedly advanced, while no opposition has yet made itself apparent. Despite the unanimity of feeling favoring the merit system, it will not pass unless Union members ex- press their opinion Thursday. A quorum of 600 ,is necessary. It is the duty of every man who signed a petition favoring the amendment to be at the Union Thursday to cast his ballot. o---- Campus Opinion Contributors are asked to he brief, confining themselves to less than 300 words if possible .
