Five Freshman in Last Lap of Competition’

the changing patches on the Christian Ass’s
coat as the Bates House drive progressed.
It was not unpleasant to be lured to the
subscription booth by “following the red
line.” College publicity has been brought
to a fine art during this past winter. To
have seen the newest poster in Taylor is
to have laid a finger on the pulse of Cam-
pus activity.
When We Four Meet Again

bars, wriggling like an overturned beetle.
Failing to mount, the fourth takes a vigor-

take-off, loses her and crawls under.

Someone is going to win that meet.

‘In search for such material we have
ate attitude toward publicity. It appears
that the shrinking violet grows at Bryn
Mawr not only in the spring, but all
through the fall hockey season, the win-
ter water polo season and throughout the
entire theatrical season. What a pity!
Of course, it is hard for the undergradu-
ate to outgrow the heritage of anti-pub-
licity handed down from ages past, but
the time has come for each one to make
sacrifices for a good cause, and _ this
particular one seems very simple in view
of the results achieved.
Publicity does not mean any undue
exploitation of the individual. In fact,
the individual is lost to view entirely,
personalities are only convenient hooks
to hang things on. Please reform.

To the Editor of the College News;
We understand there is some talk of
making chapel compulsory for the re-
mainder of the year. Such a measure
would be peculiarly unfortunate, as_ it
would change chapel from a small body
of those who go of their own accord
to a large body of unwilling grumblers.
It would be treating an ethical question
by means both primitive and Prussian.
Very sincerely yours,

sake of “the City” and the Empire.
Hence keen regret that recent offers
from Moscow have been ignored in
Washington. Without doubt the regret
is shared by the American manufactur-
ers of printing presses, who have seen
orders for four millions of their wares
cancelled. And possibly others in Amer-
ica for less business-like reasons also
regret the policy, during the last three
years, of the “Allied and Associated Gov-
ernments’—a phrase which does not ex-
clude the United States from Mr. Zil-
boorg’s indictment. These others, after
hearing a lecture of this -temper, must
once more reflect how far the prudential
Anglo-Saxon is from understanding the
attitude of a nation composed largely of
men like Tolstoi’s soldier, who, tossing
away his big gun to contemplate divine
justice, was shot by enemy soldiers as
he sat in thought.

Dover Patrol, whose purpose was “to
watch the Huns’ back door,” and to
feign a heavily guarded mine net across
the channel. British crews on this pa-
trol duty had to go out and voluntarily
blow themselves up to keep up this
“colossal piece of bunkum which com-
pletely fooled the Germans.”
After the armistice, Mr. Roberts and
Philip Gibbs were the official correspon-
dents present in Brussels when the Bel-
gian king made his formal entry into
that city. Mr. Roberts gave a colorful
account of the reception of the king in

“The Labor party has come to stay,”
said Mr. Whyte, “because it realizes, as.
the old parties failed to, that public opin-.
ion in England has changed. With its.
program, “Labor and the New Social.
Order” it has won adherents by stating.

ness of the party is the lack of outstand-
ing personalities for leaders.
Having advocated home rule in other
small countries, and seeing the success of
self-government in South Africa, England
now believes in Home Rule for Ireland.
Ireland should have a constituent as-.

DEAN SMITH SPEAKS§ON COLLEGE
RULES AT MASS MEETING
A mass meeting for the discussion of col--
lege regulations was held in the chapel last
Wednesday afternoon, with Dean Smith as
chairman. The meeting-was- called bythe
undergraduates.
In opening the discussion Dean Smith
declared that “it is the responsibility of the
students, as loyal members of the com-
munity, to keep the college rules.” “But,’”
she added, “If the rules are so out of date
that it is a hardship to keep them, they
should be brought up and discussed to see
if they can be changed for the better. It is.
equally the responsibility of the college to
inform and remind the students of the
rules, but there is no espionage, and it is
taken for granted they will be obeyed.”
COLLEGE RULES DISCUSSED
BY NEW ORGANIZATION
Hall representatives, wardens and
Dean Smith met for the first time in a
“Conference on Hall Administration” in
Radnor last Thursday, to discuss col-
lege rules.
The conference, according to Dean
Smith, its chairman, aims at “interpret-
ing the Information for Students pam-
phiets which are given out every fall.”
The first meeting took up the questions
of laundry work in the halls, sticking
nails and thumbtacks into the wallpa-
per, allowing men to smoke in the sit-
ting rooms, and keeping guests in the
halls overnight. In regard to the last,
the conference took a vote recommend-
ing that the college administration be
asked to consider the whole matter of
visitors in the halls.
Meetings are to be held twice a sem-
ester, a secretary being appointed at
each meeting. The next date for the
conference is April 8th.
