WASHINGTON, Apr. S.-Secretary
of the Navy Josephus Daniels was at
special pains today to tell visitors
that the order against intoxicants on
American warships or in naval shore
stations wasn't to be taken as COM
mitting the administration to the

simply to promote efficiency, he said
and to some extent in the interests of
fairness, since if enlisted men were

DISCUSS PLANS
FOR CAMPUS DAY
COMMITTEES HAVE BEEN NAMED
TO PREPARE PROGRAM FOR THE
BIG COLLEGE EVENT.
Celebration VIII Be Held in May in
Which Town People viii MingIe
With Faculty and Students.

AT the request of Dean French a
number of representative members OF
the university faculty met yesterday
afternoon in Professor Hulme's class
| room to discuss plans for the annual
campus day which will, according to
custom, be held some time late in May.
Miss French who several years ago
originated the plan of devoting an en-
tire college day each spring for an
open-air festival in which all depart
ments of the university and all the
towns folk should participate, is anx-
ious that the program for this season
should be as successful as have been
those of other years. AS this is the
25th anniversary of the founding of
the university it is her idea to make
the occasion an exposition of the pro-
gress and achievements of the en-
tire institution; and for this reason
she has asked for the hearty co-opera-
ton of all of the students and faculty
in making the day most significant in
the history of the college.
Campus Day at the University of
Idaho has made a most favorable i'm
preston on the outside world, and
both Oregon and Washington have
expressed desire to have representa-
tives here on that day in order that
the chief and most attractive features
of the festival may be transplanted to
their institutions. From the excellent
suggestions made by the committee
that met yesterday and from the spirit
of helpfulness that marked the ses-
sion, Miss French confidently expects
to have a program that, will surpass
in interest and pleasure any previous
attempts.
Various committees were appointed
by Dean French which will immed-
lately set to work to plan the details
of the days entertainment.
The committees are as follows:
Music, Mrs Hughes, Mr.. Carey Mr..
Storer; finance. Mr.. Hume and such |
additions as he may care to make; |
program Dean French. Dean Carlyle |
Miss Moore and Miss Stephens; cos
tunes, Miss Sweet and Miss Lieby.

Functions of University.
The most important statement made
by the president was that the chief
function of great university is the
augmentation of excellence ind the
making of intelligent beings more IN
telligent. To achieve these ends it is
necessary to understand all the rela-
tionships that exist in university and
to put in their proper place ali in
terests and activities, giving each it's
care. Among the minor relationships
which he pointed out and all CT which
he praised when under satisfactory
control are athletics, fraternities. lit
erarv societies, oratorical associations,
and social life. He put upon athletics
an extremely high value not only be
cause it is one of the greatest agencies
for developing a fundamental in man
or woman,-the physical organism,
but because in his extensive expert
ence in all forms of athletics he had
found it to be one of the most power
full agencies for making groups 'lom-
ogeneous and enthusiastic. He prom
ised that his administration would al
ways be toward athletics most |

etic, We've got to have it," said |

the minor relationships of university

ING HEAVY LOSSES BECAUSE OF
PARCELS POST BUSINESS.
Congressman French Has Been Active
in ecuring Relief and Assistance for
Those Who Suffer.

WASHINGTON, Apr. S.-Represent-
ative Burton L. French has introduc-
ed a house joint resolution directing
the postoffice department to adjust
the compensation of star route carriers
upon the basis of actual increased eX-
penditures required of them in meet

under the parcels post law.
Mr.. French has had this question
up with the department for several
months and urges that as screen wag
on contractors in cities have been COM
pensated for their service upon the
basis of actual expenditures necessary
in meeting the parcels post law, star
route carriers ought to receive the
same compensation.
Mr.. French has received numerous
letters outlining the disaster and ruin
that is being worked upon star route
carriers and their bondsmen in at
to comply with the law. A
star route carrier on one of the i'm
portant routes in south Idaho notified
his bondsmen last fall that he had
everything that he owned
for every cent that it was worth; that
he was flat broke" and called upon his
bondsmen for assistance.
