Speaking to the assembled students massed in front of the University li brary yesterday morning. Jay C. Allen Jr., Phil Brogan, and Edwin Palmer Hoyt told of the progress of science, the evolution of the press, and briefly summarized some of the intricate prob lems of sociology. Although a vernal deluge turned the campus into a lacustrine setting and caused the great crowd to appear like a sea of vari colored umbrellas, over a thousand stu dents crowded the space in front of the library to the swinging doors in an attempt to grasp every word of the speakers. Cognizant of the value of the chant in public speaking, the three men first addressed the out-door audience in unison, concisely introducing the topics to be discussed in the ten minute ses sion. Mr. Allen, in a clear toned voice which was echoed back from the bronze Pioneer, discussed some of the social problems which now confront the stu dents of the University. Mr. Hoyt, gave brief illustrations of the value of doggerel verse in modern literature. All three men are authorities on the subjects Vhich they discussed, having recently been elected to Sigma Delta Chi, national honorary journalism fra ternity. Mr. Brogan cooperated with his fel low speakers by holding up before the students a huge section of a newspaper divided into three sections. This sheet, “The Demoniac Times,” was used by Mr. Brogan in hig. .discussion of the evolution of the press. This noted speaker traced the history of the press back to ancient Sumeria. SCOPE OF DONUT ATHLETICS (Continued from page one) legiate competition and further intra mural athletics tend to increase the appreciation of intercollegiate ath letics and aid in their success.” Jack Benefiel is behind the extensive program very strongly. Speaking of the function of doughnut sports, Bene fiel said, “We want the intramurals to be a laboratory for varsity material. We want to develop men for the varsity teams, but more than that we want the main body of the undergraduates to get into athletics. When that state is reached then the varsity teams j will be what they should be, the abso lute best in the way of physical ability that this institution affords.” FOSTER CONFIDENT. Hank Foster, assistant track mentor, believes whole heartedly in the scheme and hopes some day that the doughnut interest will equal that at the Univer sity of Pennsylvania where, as Hank put it, “every man that had the use of both his legs was actively engaged in some sort of athletic competition.” Active interest in intramural sports CLASSIFIED ADS Minimum charge, 1 time, 25c: 2 times, 45c; 5 times, $1.

Director Scott said, “Before men can enter meets in wrestling and boxing, swimming or track it will be necessary that they undergo a thorough examination. Furthermore, before meu can be in a position to earn points for their organizations they will have to turn out regularly for practice and secure some necessary preliminary training,” CAMPUS OPINION READY (Continued from page mai) be splendid training for the students who would serve on the various com mittees, and would have a marked ef fect upon the student body as a whole, I'by developing in the students a certain ! thoughtfulness and attitude of respon sibility to a degree not now known.” There is a possibility that the stu dents would be likely to feel on trial, if student government were inaugur ated, and for this reason might be over 'severe in their judgments, particularly as concerned disciplinary measures, 'Dean Straub pointed out. In this pos sibility, as he sees it, lies his only objection to the proposed system. This ! fault, he believe could be obviated if (1 : the faculty should reserve the right of , veto, as is done in some colleges. Not less than five years would be 'necessary for a fair trial of the system, according to the dean. At the ond of ; this time, the Associated Students : might vote to accept or to reject it per I manently. Student opinion. Dean Straub be lieves, seems to disapprove of the adop tion of the system, largely because of ‘the added work and responsibility which it would involve. The fact that its introduction would mean the en forcement of an honor system to neces sitating the students to report cases of cheating is another reason why the students are loathe to accept it, in Dean Straub's opinion. “I want to feel that this student body is built on honor. Student govern ment will do much toward making this a reality and I myself hope and believe that the time is not far distant when the Associated Students will vote to try out the system on the campus.” WILL SPEAK AT FLORENCE Wilkie N.
