This would require the council's "pull- ing itself up by the bootstraps," to a position where the houses would look it as really being a parent or- ganization. If this is not achieved, the prospects of properly and effi- ciently enforceing deferred rushing under the means now provided, are so slight and of such little promise that we believe in a short while the fraternities will be justifiably shorn of their share in the enforce- ment of the project. We predict that, unless a new spirit evolves within the council, the enforcement of the deferred rushing plan, as well as the deferred residence regu- lations will be allotted the dean's office, as the agent of the Senate committee. We believe this despite the fact that the dean's office now firmly b;elieves that the control of rushing should be in the hands of the Interfraternity council and its judiciary committee. The dean's office would insure a rigorous, fair and complete en- forcement of the whole deferred rushing and pledging project, with a minimum of friction and hard- feelings. It would delegate this responsibility to some one individ- ual who would dispatch it with re- spect and efficiency. Should anyone doubt the possi- bility of the enforcement's being transferred to the dean's office provided the fraternities fail to work together and support the judiciary committee, he need only to look at the progress of the auto- mobile regulation through its var- ious stages. In the beginning, an action of theSenate committee was issued against the driving of auto- mobiles. The enforcement of the partial auto ban was left to stu- dent hands, principally the Stu- dent council. While it was in thi stage, the administration quit justifiably complained of the lax- ity of its enforcement. Because o the inability, or unwillingness, o: the student group to enforce a measure of such delicacy, the Re gents were asked to pass the pres r ent ruling and its enforcemen " passed from student to University hands. The analogy drawn between th two situations shows some varia tion in detail and nature, but on 1indisputable fact is disclosed: whe a measure presented to the cam pus by the administration is inef ficiently and negligently enforce by students, its enforcement mus logically be taken over by the ad ministration. While The Daily predicts tha sometime in the future it migh be necessary for the dean's offic to assume the enforcement of th deferred rushing regulations, it i our hope that this will never com about. We believe that the Inter fraternity counci has suffi cient initiative to handle the rush ing problem itself, a n d tha specifically, the fraternities hav the necessary group consciousnes to conduct their rushing activitie - in a manner befitting their fine e nature. We believe that the greate e majority of the fraternities can de - velop a sense of responsibility fo each other, so that they, as a group e can undertake rushing and othe s activities, in a creditable manne BUSINESS STAFF Telephone 21214 BUSINESS MANAGER T.

Here it is another holi- day, and we've all been admonished by our coy professors not to eat too much, and we've all decided that we will anyway just to gripe the old wet-crackers, and we are all going to have about four hours in which it will be physically imposs- ible to move, so how about getting some of those lessons for Friday? Come on, now, no use avoiding the issue. You might as well face the facts right now and get right down to work. This is your opportunity to get ahead! * * * The thing that has puzzled me, though, for lo these many years is how our local butchers can tell so accurately that all those turkeys are going to die of measles about this time of year. It is a private theory of mine that the boys go around innoculating the poor birds at the judicious moment so that they can be sure. Perhaps our friends the Anti-vivisectionist Leaguers should investigate. In fact I'm sure they should, then maybe they'd shut up. , ~* * Another racket that I feel needs some looking into is this plum- pudding business. Now, every righ - minded fellow knows that Plum - Puddings, besides being perfectly indigestible and devoid of plums are sacred to the Christmas season -ask Mr. Dickens, ask Mr. Hoover ask your old man,-go ahead, ask -him. I think myself that it is noth - ing but a gigantic fraud sponsore s by the English to throttle th American Mince Pie industry, aid I fully intend to ask the Politica f Science department to exercis f their influence to have an embarg a placed on the importation of th - filthy things. I'm sure that a pud _ ding with an embargo gracing it t brown, steaming surface woul y look so silly that no one could b induced to buy it at any price. - Another fine feature of this e suggestion is that it would n leave a lot of perfectly good - embargoed plum puddings about - which could, no doubt be bought d for practically nothing (and t used for practically nothing) - and the University might be induced to contract for the lot t of them and plaiter the New- t berry Auditorium with the e things. e s LOOK!

NOAH WEBSTER Webster's New limernaional Dic- tionary of the English Languaitge, 1929. Published by G. C. Merriam Com- ,pany, Springfield, Massachusetts. Price - Enough all right, all right. Review Copy from the Michigan I Daily Library. Typewriter by Royal; Paper by Bond; Review set up and printed by Ann Arbor Press, Maynard Street (advt.). You can't start about reading this book in the usual way. The publisher, just to inject a little lo- cal color perhaps, has gone and printed four pages of plates illus- trating: a) the official flags of the United States; b) Great Seals of the United States and Territories; c) arms of various nations - in- cluding Uruguay, Servia, and the Netherlands; d) arms and flags of Great Britain and her colonies; e) flags of various nations, and lastly, f) yacht club flags of the United States and Canada .....and all in a blatant four-color process, with a dash of gold and silver. Which is an impertinent gesture on the part of the editor, excusable only in a public-pandering press. It as- sumes that you are too dumb to know what your country's flag looks like; it tries to appeal to the t blind patriotism of the emotional masses. Though, on the other hand, who knows; these may be printed to satisfy the demands of the pic- ture-loving American reading pub- lic. '"What is the good of a book - without pictures?" said Alice.' The international Dictionary was e published in 1890 and again in 1900 The present edition was based on the earlier ones and is now com- e pletely revised in all department o including on pages lxxxi-cxx, a de- partment of new words with ex- amples such as Agromyzidaexx s which Mr. Webster's followers have d so quaintly described as "a famil a of small or acalyptrate (which is not a new word) two-winged flies" apple blotch, which they have a "Hort.

"; camp fire-girl; groceteria; lipstick, an so forth; and besides all these dictionary of geography, of bio graphy, and the whole topped of with a reference history of t world. The style of Mr. Webster and hi followers is slightly more turgi than that of the delightful M Webster whose Sunday Supplemen comic, "The Man in the Brown Der r by," has done so much to keep th - pews empty on hot Sabbaths.

Here one's in terest becomes naturally divert ed from thegals to the host plant but the author refuses to claify I his communication.

Warren THE DEFERRED RUSHING PROPOSAL - 11 In Tuesday morning's Daily we pointed out some difficulties of en- forcing the deferred rushing plan as recently passed by the Inter- fraternity council. We based the argument upon the probable lack of enforcing ability of the judici- ary committee (which was made the enforcement agency by the council) inasmuch as the commit- tee derives its'powers and backing from the Interfraternity body. The council, it is widely agreed, lacks an enterprising cooperative spirit among the houses, especially ir their consideration of the deferrec rushing project. The divided responsibility for the enforcement of the whole deferrec pledging scheme between the Sen- ate Committee on Student Affairs, with its regulations on freshmer residence and deferred pledging, and the judiciary committee, with the council's plan of controlling rushing and the means of pledging, is also somewhat intentional in owr opinion. The enforcement of the deferred rushing plan, that grou; of regulations which is to marlk the boundaries of fraternity actior in rushing, and in the means 01 pledging itself, is a responsibility, not of the Senate committee, but solely of the Interfraternity coun- cil, acting through its judiciary committee, itself. There is little question but that the Senate committee, which is representative of the administra- tion, will give strong moral support to the judiciary committee. How- ever, there is no actual connection between the judiciary committee and the administration, other than that the faculty and alumni mem- bers, who are in a minority, are selected, from the council's nom- inations, by the President of the University. The judiciary commit- tee, therefore, can not be consider- ed an agency of the administration. Its influence must come, almost . n d e d , n r r h r >> r e p n f r, t Y t s t 1 e z e 0 t THE HUTCHINS MEMORIAL Students of the University wi: issist the Senate committee in it memorial service for Dr. Harry B Hutchins, late president-emeritu which is planned for Friday, Nov 28 in the Lydia Mendelssohn thea ter. The worth of this enterpris is obvious and the plans for it execution are admirable. Speakers for the memorial serv ice have been selected from th roster of friends whom the lat leader accepted as among his clos companions. Included in the im posing list are Shirley W. Smith vice president and secretary of th University and lifelong friend o the deceased; Earl D. Babst, '93 chairman of the board of th American Sugar Refining compan and close friend of the former pres ident; Dr. William Oxley Thomp son, president emeritus of Ohi State university and a personal a well as professional friend of Dr Hutchins. Dr. Hutchins died on January 25, 1930, his demise being of sud den and great importance through out the educational world. Loca friends were shocked and immed iately sympathetic as the new broke in the city and for weeksa series of written tributes supple- mented the oral admiration for one of the University's foremost lead- ers.
