Thesis Writer to
Take Long Trip
Iowa City, Mar. 7.-To show how
seriously some students consider the
writing of a thesis, witness this un-
usual instance of the methods pursued
by John M. Pfiffner, a graduate student
of the University of Iowa.
Pfiffner, a student in the political
science department, is now planning a
trip to South America to study the
constitutional governments of Argen-
tina, Brazil, Chile, and several other
of the Latin-American countries. For
the past two years, Pfiffner has made
researches into this subject, and he is
now finishing the thesis, which will be
completed by the intimate study of
the southern countries.
AGITATE MILITARY TRAINING
FOR STUDENTS AT INDIANA'
Princeton Nen
Admit Kissing
Osculation is a matter on the merits
of which the seniors at Princeton are
at variance.
Balloting by Princeton seniors de-
velops the fact that, of those voting,
182 admit that they have kissed a girl,
27 claim they have not, while several
refuse to commit themselves either
way. The non-kissers haste to make
excuses, giving widely diverse reasons
for their failure, notably, the high
cost of loving, high collars, and lack
of opportunity. That it is morally
wrong to kiss a girl was the reply of
41 men to a question on that phase
of it.

Bloomington, Ind., March 7.-Mili-
tary training for the University of In-
diana is being urged by both faculty
and students at that institution. Mass
meetings and demonstrations in favor
of preparedness have been held and
plans for immediate action are going
forward.
The matter first arose when the news
of Germany's plotting -with Mexico and
Japan was made public, and 500 stu-
dents, led by a band, paraded Bloom-
ington and held a gathering at the
campus flagpole, with a flag-raising
ceremony and patriotic speeches.
Faculty and representative men
about the campus have voiced their
opinions in favor of the immediate
adoption of military training, and Sun-
day night a mass meeting was held
to takesteps in s that direction. All
university men who have had military
training of any sort are being regis-
tered as a means of forming the
nucleus for a military organization
that will include every able-bodied
student at Indiana.

The show is under the management
of the Messrs. Shubert, who have re-
cently conducted it through a sucess-
ful season of 52 weeks at the Casino
theater, New York. Not -.since the
days of "The Merry Widow" has a mu-
sical comedy so captivated metropoli-
tan pleasure seekers.
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
We read in Tuesday's Daily that the
management of the Majestic theater
has become so unpopular as to require
the use of the laws of this state to
obtain the patronage of those few,
whome he claims, object to the so-
called disorderly conduct of the ma-
jority of the patrons of his theater.
We should like to know who those
few are.
The writer has been on the campus
for several years and has seen the
conditions at this place of amusement
change from bad to worse. Many
things that were supposed to be tradi-
tions of Michigan, such as a free show
to the freshmen on cap night, have
been allowed to go by the board be-
cause of the actions- of one man and
out of respect for law and order, for
which he claims we have none.
Each time we have been present at
the performances given at this theater
we have noticed that by far the ma-
jority of those present seemed to be
just as interested in the fun off the
stage as that (?) on the stage. We go
to theaters to be amused and if it
wasn't for the amusement off the stage
many would go home worse than they
did when they came, due to the per-
formances given.
It seems as though we, presumably
students, are not wanted at this place,
our patronage is not solicited and yet
we make up the bulk of attendance
and our contributions are the biggest
part of the box office receipts. So why
go to this theater. Let us see how
his theater gets along without the
patronage of those who are not wanted
unless they forego one of the long
established habits which do not reflect
the conduct as much as the poor treat-
ment that has been meted out to us
in the past few years.

To enlist the interest of the alumnae
of the University in the welfare of
their Alma Mater, a life membership
campaign has been succesfully begun
by the Women's league.
Although the movement is as yet in
1s infany, 45 women have responded
to this attempt to form a closer link
between the alumnae and the student
body. Among the pioneers to enroll
their sympathies with the campaign
are the following: Mrs. Victor C.
Vaughan, Mrs. R. M. 11 Wenley, Mrs.
Lonis P. Hall, Mrs. henry Douglas,
Irs. Mary D'Ooge, all of Ann Arbor,
and Mrs. Henry B. Joy of Detroit.
In order to keep the alumnae in-
formed about the work which is be-
n undertaken by the league a pam-
phalet will be issued annually, con-
taining a resume of the achievements
of the past, and the plans for the en-
suing year. The fee for life member-
ship is ten dollars, payable in in-
stallments, if so desired. The pro-
ceeds of the campaign will be used for
two purposes, besides maintaining the
publishing of the year-book; namely,
to remove the debt on Palmer field,
and to establish a fund for a new
dormitory for women students.
A campaign will be conducted on the
campus after the spring vacation. The
coimittee in charge of the movement
is Gladys Whelan, '17, chairman;
Helen Drown, '18, Euthymia Hildner,
'17, Margaret Henderson, '18, Dorothy
Pierce, '18, Anna McMahon, '19, Han-

Berkeley, Cal., March 7.-With rou-
lette wheels, bright lights and all the
various entertainments incident to a
French carnival, the big California
"Sirkus" which follows the track meet
between the University of California
and Stanford will make its appearance
the first part of April.
All the events will be held on Cali-
fornia field, which will be appointed
in true circus fashion, with lemonade
stands, concession booths, and tents
for all classes, and college organiza-
tions. The "Sirkus" which used to be
the biggest annual collegiate enter-
tainment on the Pacific coast, has not
been held since 1914, but because of
the insistence of the campus opinion,
of both colleges, it was decided to re-
establish the affair.
DE PAUW PROF. ADVOCATES
PASSING OF ALL STUDENTS
That the Indiana legislature pass
a law abolishing allflunks from state
universities in Indiana has been sug-
gested by a DePauw professor.
He advocates the passing of every
student in every course he elects, on
the grounds that "Indiana university,
or Purdue, or DePauw has no right to
drop a man because the intelligence
God gave him does not measure up to
a particular standard of excellence."
CAMPUS- STARS WILL APPE AR
IN SHAKESPEREAN PRODUCTION
Prof. Richard D. T. Hollister's class
in play production will present "The
Merry Wives of Windsor," on Friday,
May 18, as one of the two plays to
be given under the auspices of the
Oratorical association. Several of the
leading members of the cast which
played in Ibsen's "Pillars of Society,"
will take part in "The Merry Wives of
Windsor."
This marks the first presentation of
a Shakesperean play students for
a number of years.
Princeton, March 7.-The policy of
the Daily Princetonian regarding the
abolition of upper class clubs at
Princeton has been reversed owing
to a change of the staff.
When the new board of editors came
into control of the publication, an edi-
torial was immediately written stating
that the opinion of the incoming staff
was in favor of the present club sys-
tem. "The present social system has
served its purpose well and should not
be abandoned until a system which
has demonstrated its superiority has
arisen," says the Princetonian.
Among the members of the new
Princetonian staff is Carl W. Bon-
bright of Flint, Mich.
BISHOP KELLY ADDRESSES
CATHOLIC STUDENTS' CLUB
"The Age of the World" was the
subject of the address given by Bishop
Edward D. Kelly last night before the
Catholic Students' club in the Knights
of Columbus club rooms.
Bishop Kelly traced the history of
Christianity through the ages, dealing
with the various attacks upon it from
the mediaeval period down through the
periods of Voltaire and Rousseau to
the present day with its atheistic doc-
trines. An informal discussion closed
the meeting.
Rev. Taylor will address the club
next Wednesday evening on "Dogma."
