University Announcement.

In answer to numerous inquiries re-
garding the regulation forbidding
freshmen to board in chapter houses,
it seems advisable to issue an official
statement.
On October II, 1911, the University
Faculty took action on this matter
The exact wording of the minutes OF
the faculty action is as follows:
1T was decided to grant the
fraternities a suspension of
the regulation forbidding
students with less than twen-
ty-four hours credit to live
in chapter houses so that for
this session only, or until
June 1912, such students may
board in these houses"
The only further action taken by
the University Faculty was to amend
the rule on June 8. 1912. by adding
the following:
Except that the committee on
Student Activities may at it's
discretion waive this rule in
the case of any student who
has made Is hours credit in
his or her first semester in
the University"
At the same time the University
Faculty passed these resolutions:
81. That as regards the ques-
ton of admitting new students
under the Is hour regulation, the
Committee on Student Activities
shall especially favor the fratern-
tiles having a creditable standing
for scholarship.
90. That the fraternities should
be made to understand that next
year or not later than two years
hence, the right of any fraternity
to initiate members will probably
be made to depends upon its
scholastic record"
The Board of Curators at its meet
ing in June. 1912. approved this mod
ification and these resolutions.

perfectly safe to swat" the sugar trust.
 And as to chemicals. nobody knows much about them anyway. so no elec- toral vote will be changed by pre- tended revision of the chemical sched- ule. IL is d beautiful plan.
 But with wool and cotton it is diff ferent. There are q number of rather doubtful states engaged in the produc- tion of wool. Also, there is one or two of the cotton producing states not quite SD certainly democratic as they used to be. And on general principles it would not be wise to offend the democratic cotton growers.
 That is the reason for the whole childish business. As has been said before. this pretended tariff revision is not undertaken in good faith at all It is simply a matter of creating cam paign material.

Whats the Use?

It is q little difficult to understand how charges of falsehood and other forms of personal recrimination. in which one of the members of the city council indulged at the meeting Thursday evening. will materially as- sist the councilmen in the transaction of city business. It is also difficult to understand what the councilman who indulged in those tactics hopes to gain by them.
 It will strike the independent ob- server that the proceedings of coun- cil should be conducted on plane somewhat higher than that. The coun- cil should be a dignified body. The people of the city have delegated to it most important powers And per sonal recrimination is hardly the way in which to discharge d public func- ton.
 The man who is strong enough to cntroI important business matters Tor a,i the people of the city should be strong enough to control himself. And when member of a deliberafiVe bodv fails in that matter he is apt to give an exhibition that is neither admirable nor edifying.
 There is plenty of work for the c,unciImen to Co without indulging in personal;i .e5. and. anyhow. the council chamber is hardly the place for exhibitions cf that sort. If any of the council.nen feels called upon to do so he should at least Choose some other place for the purpos"- II charges shou' le ,r ,usht su'c'y 1t 'S better to pro :e .d in @ diSnified a"d regular man ior thrG tO make tit"'e charges in the heat of debate.

The Prospects.

Even the remote prospect of the pie counter privileges is so alluring 10 the democracy that already gentlemen oi that faith are discounting the result ming what they propose doing when they elect the next president" In the contemplation of a good many of these gentlemen that seems quite an easy proposition; but the thinkers of the party are fully aware af the size of the job on hand.
 For instance, the New York World. which is really an independent news paper. but which generally adheres to democratic principles. and which is the most influential paper in the country which pleads guilty to an ad- herence to the cardinal democratic faith. points out that it will require change of 60O.OOO votes to land the democratic candidate in the White House.
 This must be rather discouraging 10 the democracy. if it takes the trouble to think about the Worlds warning. It goes without saying that popu- lar majority of more than a million is well nigh insurmountable.
 And that is just what the democratic party faces. A popular majority of 100000 votes used to be considered enormous And it was only under the supremely absurd leadership of Mr. William J. Bryan that the democrats were so utterly disorganizcd that their party standing for the past sixteen years has been little better than 9 joke.
 Three times the country has repudi- ated Bryan and Organism; and it has done so by constantly increasing ma jorities. And now the democracy. with its genius for laundering. is declaring that Bryan's principles" are the only principles worthy oi dccepldnce III thlS year of grace And the signs are multiplying that the party proposes going before the country again this year with those principles nailed to the masthead.
 If remains to be seen whether 600.- GOO of the people of this country are ready to reverse themselves in their judgment of these populistic doc trines.
