WARN AGAINST AGENTS
Administration States Men
Are Not Approved by
Authorities.
Ag-ents canvassing: campus fra
ternity houses and other school or
ganizations, saying- that they have
the approval of the administration,
or of any schol organization, are
not to be recognized, according- to
annuoncements from Administra
tion building- Tuesday.
Last year such an agent, selling
magazines and books, canvassed
the campus saying that he had the
approval of the interfraternity
council. According to Norman Gal
Icher, president of the council, such
was not the case. 'A campus or
ganization has no right to say
that it endorses any product."
stated Galleher, "and although this
fellow asked me for an endorse
ment, I told him no."
Students on the campus, -who
are bothered by solicitors have
only to call Campus Officer L. C.
Reg-ler to be rid of them. The uni
versity rules forbid soliciting on
the campus. Fraternity groups
can easily be rid of agents by ask
ing to see their license -which is re
quired of all agents sellirg in Lin

AT VESPER SERVICE
Discusses the Necessity of
Finding an Adequate
Philosophy.
Dr. C. H. Patterson of the phil
osophy department of the univer
sity spoke on the moral test of a
philosophy of life at the vespers
service Tuesday evening, at Ellen
Smith hall.
Dr. Patterson stated that every
one has a right to find out the
truth about the universe; that it
constituted one's philosophy of life
and a person's philosophy of life
is the most important thing about
! him It is neecssary to construct a
world review in order to under
stand the relationship of all the
experiences of human life. Then
one should test his philosophy of
lite to see if it is adequate.
Moral Experiences Fundamental.
Moral experiences, Dr. Patterson
mentioned, were absolutely funda
mental to a person's conduct of
life. Because people are inherently
moral they govern their lives accord-tig
to some certain philosophy.
Everyone has a philosophy of life
whether he realizes it or not.
Quoting Plata Dr. Patterson told
one of his myths and gave its' ex
planation in modern terms. He said
that everyone is choosing the kind
of life be ii to live and that this
choice is irrevocable; once it is
made it can sever be changed.
-"There exists a world of mora
experiences, of possibilities, said
Dr. Patterson, 'and every decision
you make causes you to destroy
certain of these possibilities. A
sound philosophy of life surveys
these possibilities systematically.

The margin by which the coali

cates either that their own
strength is weaker than last
spring, or else that a much larger
sorority vote was polled by the
Blueshirts than was attracted
at the spring election. If the Yel-

have taken the office.
