FACILITATING BETTER LEGIS
LATION
No one who examines the work of
the first special legislative session of
the Commonwealth Conference which
closed today can doubt that it will
bear fruit in legislation beneficial T,o
the state. It is rational to presume
that the men who make the laws,
meeting in conference with experts
on the conditions which the laws are
devised to meet, can greatly simplify
their work.
This is the idea of the legislative
conference—to apply the methods of
the laboratory to legislation. It is
another phase of the realization by
the University of its mission of ser
vice to the state.
The session just closed has been
markeed by interesting discussions,
and, while no classes have been dis
missed and no special plea has been
made for student support, a good num
ber of students have attended volun
tarily. Doubtless the legislative ses
sion will become a permanent and in
creasingly important adjunct of the
general Commonwealth Conference.
i AN “EVEN BREAK’’
Along with the evils or blessings j
of the new dances, dress suits, cabs
and flowers, and other moot questions
which are brought to the fore by each
big class party, that of the advantages
or disadvantages of engaging dances !
in advance is becoming somewhat of
an issue.
Competition among the admirers of,
certain University women is so keen,!
it is said, that they are beseiged with
requests for dances weeks before the
appointed date. As a result, space
on their programs is at a premium,!
and the unwary swains who wait to
press their suits until said programs
are actually given out must be content
with the ’steenth extra.
Although it is now too late to undo
the mischief, so far as tonight’s
Sophomore Hop is concerned, perhaps
the time is opportune to start a re
form wave in anticipation of the
Freshman Glee. It is hinted by the
critics of the present system that an
agreement by the girls to gently but
firmly decline all importunings until
the mystic hour would promote the
cherished “square deal.” add interest
to the scramble at the dance, and re
lieve the fraternity telephone lines of
much congestion.
Thirty-four per cent of the Fresh
men of Dartmouth are failing in Eng
lish.
An old clothes raid was made re
cently at Columbia to collect gar
ments for the war sufferers.
