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. WRITES ABOUT AJESTI U. P.

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.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA TO RE-ESTABLISH "SIRKUS" Alinmae Are Enlisted in Aiding Wo. meNJ Organization to Raise Funds 'ILL ISSUE ANNUAL PAMPHLET 01 INEOR3IAIQ ABOU WOR z 10 (' iiwel Palmer Field Debt and siart Fund for New Dorm- itory . 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.

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.

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.
