Instead of rationalism; of the: "rushing week," there is still the highly organized "eyes and ears" of the kings-or their sub- ordinates. The Interfra ternity a greement was designed to curtail outbursts ofE overemphasis that might be staged by the various fraternities. A tradi- tion at Yale, distinct from those observed in many colleges, has rightly condemned such practices as welcoming by fraternity groups the trains bearing incoming Fresh- men. It has thereby left the firstI year of college one of uinmolested orientation, although fraternities have been known, with inrceasing frequency in- past years, to start - their bickerings with certain prom- inent members of that class. On the whole the relegation of fra-I ternity activities to Sophomore year has been moderately well observed., but with the coming of Sophomore year there has been a change ini aspect for the worst. The illegal practice of pmeting is, now accepted as a necessary, pro- tective evil. Despite the fact that each and every candidate gives his I word of honor not to comnmunicate except with members of his own class, and despite the fact that each fraternity is subject to a heavyI fine and other limitations, pacting flourishes today with unabated fueryj_. and with little prospect of change. It is no more or less than a fiasco. It is a pitiful travesty upon thle esteem in which we hold our word of honor. And yet in this instance, not one is afflicted with the coy . -,OLLS OFFERS ?NiE XW FEA- TURE! f Ever enxiouiii to please and lead all our conmpetitors in service to oiur public, it rives us great plea- sure to announce. a new and greater aid to our readers.

NEW ANTHOLOGY OF C'OLYEGL A nowv antllolog y of American i college verse Neill be published in day, 1931, by Hlarper and Brothers. it has b ellePrcenly announced by the publishers. Tile book will con- sist solely of poetry writt n by students attlending college during the 1930-31 college year. It will be edited by Miiss Jessie C. Redr, lvnoph-Macon, '29,an olm bia University, 0 All students, either undergrad- eogratatndgay CO1ee Cduring the current year are invited to submit poems for incu- .':ion inl the anthologs'y. The verses <<5ll be selcted for publication of any alternative. A possible improve- ment, by no means a solution, would lie in debarring Sophomore from any fraternity activities what- soever until a period, say two to three weeks, before election night. I After that time pacting would re- ceive legal recognition. There would still be a danger, however, in a pos- sible regression of the date appoint- ed for the initiation of these prac -I tices. In the final analysis, the accept- ance of the regulations surround- *ng calling week rest entirely upon she members of the Interfrate'rnity :ouncil. They should be the first to enforce rules of their own mak- {ng, instead of breaking7 them, and! instead of asking candidates to do the same. Whether or not any Scheme proves practicable depends ipon its observance by those who!I M hould set the example. As it now stands, each of the eight members o :f the council is silenced by the :ear of cutting off his nose to spite uas face. Will nothing ever be done? TEMVPUS FUC ITI (University Daily; T vvi) Why don't American collegeu- dents discuss vital questions mnore than they do? Why are they so provincial, so wrapped -an in their wn little campuses, their own j friends, their own pleasures? ' The reason is obvious. The Amer- ian college is run in such a way .s not to allow us time for cr- tIv eI thoughts. Classes arc conducted on: the principle that each subject is in enormous field in itself rnd ghat all we can cram into our nood- -es is still most insufficicint. Fraternities and ,soror-ities also l mnake too heavy demands-par tiesI dates, meetings-all must be atU- tended to if the brother or s1ite iM i g 1 4 { i S(1 1 Ii) I f f i 1 f I F9romn11e To YT ZOn Xmas -Dty FOR IDEBTORS MY.erry Xmas AN HOW ABOUT FOR At~2ANYBhODY Well, here it is Xmas atai. e S ihe nyour attei-npt to )ay ail your bills rtcxt month. I E After having edited the Inlanderj thrzough one of its most important, I years, Harold Courlandler recently esi ned in favor of Richard GlavinZ. G lavinahas beenz active on the mag- sE ,ine for the past few years. It was announced that in accord- ance with a new policy, material f.or publication will be sought from a wider range of student write,°s than has heretofore been the case. 'This it seems has been the policy I l in every new administration. The Imnagazine being limited as it is to that type of literature which is paro- vocative of comment from the standpoint of modern development, and of course having to limit the number of contibuhtins in Ppet-b i I in 24 i ersi~ r e 1icSe eween *1 * ill .31*Vi ti*Ui uU * li 11t* _ ilksue, has alwvays seemed to have been written by wha may be called1 a cult. However, it has for the past year at any rate, represented that conscious literary talent on ti-i campus which has distinguished it- self by a disdain of perfection in mediocrity. NOTE it may be of interest to those whof are intenlding to spend their vaca- tions in or about New York to note that this section has collected the programs of most of the better New Yo'k entertainment agencies. These notices'will be published at a later date this week. Mayor Staebler asserts that the city manager plan will lighten the mayor's duties. Maybe he wants to Staeblerize the government.
