much smaller than 1t Is now,
serves to seat the students when
they gather in mass-meetings and
to hear lecturers. That is, 1t seats
some of them. If they all should
take a notion to visit the audi
torium at once, the men would
have to hang on the chandeliers
and out of the windows that the
women might have seats.
The present University Audi
torium is much too small for the
needs of a University with an en-
rollment of $500. What $500
student school needs is an assem-
bling place that will seat $500
persons, at least. At that, the
faculty and other visitors would
have to stay outside.
The University of Missouri has
outgrown its present auditorium.
While we are asking the State
Legislature for things we really
need, let us not forget to put in at
least one little petition for new,
bigger and better auditorium.

TIGER WAR SONGS TRIED
No Selection Made at Mass Meeting
School Spirit Praised.

1T is too late for a Tiger "war
song" this fall" said R. W. Nc
Clure, student-body president, at
the mass meeting Friday night.
I'VE will possibly have one by
spring and certainly one by next
fall" Three songs were tried by
the quartet and glee club but no
selection was made.
The speakers laid stress on the
spirit shown by Missouri students.
"The Missouri spirit is not confined
to Columbia" said H. l.. McWil-
liams, former Tiger star, sBut is
spreading all over the state. Every
high school student is looking for
ward to the time he will become
a Tiger star. Other speakers en-

The Literary Trawler
The Fundamentals of Faith.

The time for Indifference to 9TH
er peoples beliefs has not arrived
You cannot build up a society by
first exiling its God. What We want
is men who sharply distinguish be-
tween the essential and the formal,
the fundamental and the accidental,
in religious truth, and who stand
immovable upon those fundamen-
tails, and for this reason grant lat
itude in the expression of other
mems faith, and in those things
which are the more or less logical
deductions from that faith. Men
who are to be brothers do not need
to be twins, but they do need to
be sure of their parentage before
they claim fraternal rights.-Shai-
Ter Mathews.

FOR YOUR OWN SATISFACTION.

The first of the yearly series OF
art exhibits has just been opened
in the Museum of Classical Arch
aeology. There is no better time
than now to begin attending these
exhibits-which are free to stu
dents-and getting the present and
future pleasure they afford.
Each year the Art Lovers Guild
brings works of art here which
could be seen in no other way
than by taking trips to distant
cities where these paintings are
owned. Public lectures explaining
the exhibits are given from time
to time on Sunday afternoons. At
tedance at a few of these will give
any person an idea of how to look
at art, OF how to appreciate 1t,
which will always be a source of
pleasure.
You new students, begin now to
go to these exhibits and get this |
much more good out Of your four
years here. You seniors who have
passed by these exhibits In the
past, take advantage of this last
years opportunity. You may not
get school credit for this, but you
get satisfaction from it. What
more could anybody want?

The Open Column
Hats on!

Editor The Missourian:- :-Yester'
day afternoon the cadets gave a
regimental parade on the campus
and as usual a large crowd of stu
dents watched the parade. With
the students were a few University
professors. The band circled
around the campus from Academic
Hall to the Law Building where it
stopped. In a few minutes it be-
gan to play the Star Spangled Ban
ner. Every student who was
watching the parade removed his
cap as is the custom. In the crowd
of students was one University pro-
fessor who did not take off his hat.
The crowd stared and then stood
astonished to think that person
would have the nerve to stand
with his hat on his head when the
national air was being played. A
sophomore who did not recognize
the professor started to step up
and remove his hat, thinking he
was an out of town visitor who did
not understand the custom. But an
upperclassman interfered and told
the sophomore that the man was a
University professor.

fessor's name and then he was

20 cents was involved. The small
sum is as vital to the newsboy or
day laborer as is the larger
amount to the man of affairs. JUS

Each side stated its case to the
Judge and his decision followed.
No legal red tape, no lawyers, no

TELLS WHERE SYMPATHY is
Literary Digest Finds How W,
Stand on the War.

Are your sympathies for the
Germans or with the Allies? The
Literary Digest has undertaken to
determine where the United
States sympathies rest. To get an
answer to the question it has OBJ
tanned statements from between $50
and 400 editors telling their own
attitudes and the feelings of their
communities toward the fighting
nations. The replies cover the
country from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from Mexico to the
Canadian border.
OF 367 replies received, los edi-
tors report they favor the Allies,
20 favor the Germans and 242 are
neutral. The sympathy ON either
side is only that of the distant OBJ
server. No belligerency is evil
dent anywhere. Of Missouri's SYM
pathies the Literary Digest for No
vember IA says:
Travelling south to Missouri, we
hear from st. Louis that it is city
of many different nationalities,' in
which the Germans represent the
larger proportion of the roreign
In Carthage the SYM
pathy depends on the nationality
of the inhabitant or his ancestors
and is largely prejudiced in any
case From what we hear, such a
frame of mind may prevail also in
Kansas City, Joplin and Columbia.

field, Canttersville and Fulton show |
a pro-Ally sympathy, matched in
De Soto, Boonville and st. Charles
