WOMEN STUDENTS
RESENT EDITORIAL
Advice TO Remain Passive"
During Football Game Causes
Storm of Protest

BERKELEY, Nov. 4.-The editorial
admonition of Editor Dudley j. Gates
of the Daily. Californian. the student
paper of the camnls, that the women
who for the first time will have re-
served section at the. big game, should
take passive part in the demonstra-
ton, has aroused therire of score of
the prominent Leaders among the
women, and their answers to the edi-
tor have been. anything but passive
Gates said in the student, daily that
he had heard that all.manner of stunts
We're planned by the university women
for the day of the bgi game, and that
their section would furnish as much
fire and enthusiasm as the mems root
ing sections. er
The appearance of the Californian
started the women students to think
ing,- and Gates has been the butt of
criticism hurled by the women leaders,
and even Miss Lucy Sprague, dean of
the women, objects to the. editorial. She
said that the women were doing un-
usual this year in their, preparations
for the game, the only difference be-
ing that section would be reserved
for them. atf
The statement in the Californian
that surprise had been ,planned for
November. IL is the only surprise that
have heard Of, said Miss Sprague
today tsf cet
Miss Ethel Jordan, prominent. grad
uate student, said that Gates had the
idea that the women of the univer-
sity in their roofing section had
planned something unbecoming, but
that he was entirely wrong:
Among the other women who have
objected to. the editorial is Miss Mar
garet Witter a prominent sorority girl.
Here is the editorial that caused the
Stir:
Whatever admiration welmight feel
for the women students in thus setting
a new mark in the display of feminine
enthusiasm, it is little more than off,
set by other notions, and we would
suggest that their proposed plans for
drawing attention to themselves at the
big game be given up.
There have been constantly recur-
ring rumors of surprises to be ex-
pected from the women's section on
that day. and as it surpasses our mas
culine imag agination to picture any sur
prise that would be at all fitting ON
such an occasion. we are loyal enough
to the other half to bid them pause.
1T is true that the university it the
place for progressive ideas, and if the
time is coming when equal rights and
privileges will be accorded every one,
California will want to be in the fore
ground. Even if that time were here
it would seem that football game is
distinctly masculine event, and any
demonstration by the women students
would be not only untimely but unbe-
coming as we'll. Theirs should be the
passive part until ;. the world has
changed little -mores.''

Imperial Parliament to Convene
in 1913 Instead of Two
Years Later

PEKING. Nov Am official decree
was issued today announcing that an
imperial parliament, the first in the his
tory of China, would be convened In
1913.
This is concession to the demands
of the recently constituted senate and
delegations of the provincial assemblies.
The program fixed by the late en-
press dowager provided for the assem-
bling of an imperial parliament in 1915.
but until recently the throne had re-
fused to entertain petitions praying
that the date be advanced. Today's de-
cree set forth that the parliament would
be convened in three years.
The police went from house to house
informing the occupants of the edict.
Presently the dragon banner and paper
lanterns appeared above every door.
Beyond this there was no public mani
festation over the momentous news.

To say nothing Of the meteorological

Shortly after Tennyson's poem ''Thc

mathematician sent the poet a letter
that ran like this:
Dear Sir-I find in a recent poem of
yours, entitled The Vision Of Sin,'
the following unwarranted statement:
Every moment dies a man, and every
moment one is born I need hardly
point out that this calculation, IL cor
rect would tend to keep the sum total
Of the worlds population in a state Of
perpetual equipoise. whereas it is an
established fact that the said popula-
ton Is constantly on the increase. l
would therefore suggest that in the
next edition Of this poem the erroneous
calculation to which I refer should be
corrected as follows: Every moment
dies q man. and one and a sixteenth is
born I may add that the exact fig
ures are 1.167. but something must, of
course, be conceded to the laws of

very interesting superstition Shortly
after the dissolution Of the monasteries
Cowdray was conferred upon Sir An
thony Browne. the father Of the first
Lord Montague, who had already been
given Battle Abbey as a reward for
his services to Henry VIII. The story
goes that Sir Anthony. who had de-
stroyed the church and the clOisters In
Battle Abbey, was visited in the great
hall as he was holding his first feast
by one Of the dispossessed monks. who
after solemnly cursing him. prOphesied
that his family should perish By fire
and water. Two centuries and n half
later the prophecy was tragically full
filed. In 1893 the house was destroy
ed by fire and within q week Of that
disaster the last Lord Montague lost
his life in Germany In an unsuccessful
attempt to shoot the falls Of the Rhine.
