The dates when the first Junior Ihomo and tho Senior Ihumo aro due . uru close at hand and there is the j1huq1- genorul complaint of lack of tjino and tho harshness of the Rhetoric department in staying by tho lottor of its regulation. Many of tho upper- classmen aro deliberately putting off thotlmo of reckoning, claiming thut tho themes aro in no sense "vital in tliolr courses, and saying that thoy vill have more time for tho purpoBo' lator Wo believe that this Ig not the prop er spirit for any student to assume "toward this particular requirement of tlio University and that it is, to say tlio least, unwise.

Wood CXDOCCC)CXX)CXX3C)C3COOOOOCXXXX)CXDOCC red tape demanded by one dopartmen of our institution for Its own particu lar satisfaction. They aro, in our esti mation, a very wise provision of the Regonts to prevent any student from losing all tlio influenco of tho cultural studjes that tho University offers. That there is serious dangor of such an outcome is clearly evidenced by tho increasing popularity of our in dustrial courses at tho expense of tho cultural studios, and wo thoroly be lieve that, wero it not for the required courses in Rhetoric,- and tho required themes, all scattered thru the various years of the college course, 'there would be almost a unanimous boycott of tlio cultural, courses among tho nion of J ho University within a ve.ry few years. Tlio folly of procrastination in the writing of tho themes is evident upon the most cursory examination, To Ayait untll'the last few weoks of tHo Senior yonr to write all threo of tho required themes. Works an injustice on the Rhetoric, department, and more especially on tho .student himself. It ( doubles, or ovett trebles, the duties of tho hardest portion of a man's entire j college career, and 'more than this, there 1b no opportunity glvoh for tho f cultural benefits to mako themselves manifest. As students of tho University wo aro surely old enough to realize that tlio benefit wo derive from our studies comes from tho care with which we pursue them and not from tho mero net of satisfying requirements. A thomc Is a help just in proportion to tho thought and care expended upon it, nnd when it is properly written, it is of unquestionable benefit to any Bludent whether registered In an on- gineoring group or in the College ofi Literature, Science, and the Arts. Wo believe, therefore, that it be hooves every Senior and Junior to seo to it at once that he is not remiss in regard to his themes. PromptnoBB is its own reward In this particular in stance, oven if there wero no other; considerations and there certainly aro other considerations well worth while. EVENTS OF FORMER YEARS.

Among the suggestions adopted, which will bo sent to the gen eral rules committee, aro tho follow ing: That a 15-yard penalty be substi tuted for tho loss of tho ball when a forward pass hits tho ground. A majority opinion favored the abo lition of tho five-yard rule, from cen ter In the forward pass. , Favor allowing two forward passes in one scrimmage, if tho first did not cross the line of scrimmage. Opposed to increasing the number of downs In ten yards. WIRICK S 2J " 103 0 Christmas FOR HIM-- FOR HER TRUNKS, OXFORD BAGS, SUIT CASES, x VALISES, LADIES' SHOPPING BAGS, " Many Styles. .
