WILBUR WOULD GIVE
 FROSH MORE LIBERTY
President of Stanford University Starties With viev. on Char
 scter Building.

STsNFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal March lo.-Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford University. has gone on record as the champion Of freshmen freedom and incidentally fur nished topic which has kept the hals buzzing with lively discussion.
 Spcakinc at the Founders Day ban quet the president said:
 Freshmen should he allowed to do as they please. There IS 600 much tendency to force people into mold and no one has the right to interfere with the free development of a stu dents Individuality.
 The answer that they all do it is no answer at all. We should be inde pendent and should do some fresh thinking for ourselves. It is easy to accept the commonplace. but that means we are not thinking; that you are bound up bv what is behind you. The institution of freshmen training is wrong Other things mean much more in the development of uni Versity.'

DIAMOND AGENTS
 READ TO WAGER

Either there is going to be one or two men badly bruised within the next week or SC, or else Payne and Saufley are going to drag down some big cash in the line of bets.
 They have heard so many things about the superiority and wearing ualities of rival tires that they have qualities rather sore. Now they have pooled their ready cash, and challenge any one to put up a bet on the quali- ties of their Diamond tires as against any other tire.
 They are convinced that Diamonds are the best on the market, and if they are not, they don't care anything about continuing in business.
