IN UNIVERSITY

MADISON, Wis, Feb IA lecture
by Max Eastman, editor of The
Masses, on 'The Hope of Democ-
racy," was more than the reactionary
influences now in control of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin could stand.
President Charles r. Van Hise re-
consin Forum, a student organiza-
ton, before which Eastman was
scheduled to speak. to use the Biology
building. Eastman later spoke at the
Woman's building, a downtown hall,
instead.
The refusal of President Van Hise
to permit the use Of university build
ings for> meetings held by the Forum
marks the elimination of a policy of
repression, the result of which has
been to deprive the students during
the last two years from hearing lec-
lures in university buildings by anya
one who might be suspected of having
advanced ideas on social or economic
questions.
Presidents Action Condemned.
The action Of the president is meet
with the widest condemnation from
students, members of the faculty and
townspeople. It bids fair to cause a
struggle which will shake the old uni
versity, once famous as the home Of
the newer movements in political and
social thought, to its foundation
stones. Already arrangements are
being made for a mass meeting of
students to frame a. protest against
the action Of the president to be
spread broadcast among the alumni.
The. Forum is an organization Of
students and faculty members, re-
Gently organized with the announced
purpose of conducting 'lectures and
convocations where national leaders
will bring to the students the living
significance of contemporary social,
political and religious problems"
The Forum grew out of the situa-
ton created by the policy of the uni
versity in recent years of allowing
only men who are thoroughly ''safe
and sane" to speak at university con-
vocations. It was planned to bring
men and women of the type of Amos
Pinchot, Frank P. Walsh, Clarence
Darrow, Mrs. Raymond Robins, Scott
A'edAI4S anu L1HCOlu 0tS4cuS u du
dress the students.
Max Eastman was secured as the
first speaker to address the new Or
ganization, and the consent Of the au-
thorities in charge of the biology
building secured for the use Of the
building. Immediately on hearing of
it President Van Hise issued an order
revoking the permit to use the build
ing. Eastman is. too radical in his
views to be permitted to speak in the
buildings of the university of the peo-
pie of the state of Wisconsin.
In making his decision, President
Van Hise hid behind a recent rule of
the board of regents, prohibiting the
use of university buildings for propa-
ganda meetings. Yet Bryan is sched-
uled and advertised all over the state
to speak for statewide prohibition in
the stock pavilion in the near future!

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN
WASH THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because it is a
fad, but because they wish to
obtain the greatest possible hair
beauty and be sure they are not
using anything harmful. They
have found that in washing the
hair 1t is never wise to use a
makeshift but is always advisable
to use a preparation made for
shampooing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best re-
suits from a simple homemade
canthrox mixture. You can use
this at a cost of about three cents
a shampoo by getting some can
throx from your druggist, and dis
solving a teaspoonful in cup of
hot water. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply to all
the hair instead Of just the top
of the head, as with most prepar-
atoms. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely dis
appear in the rinsing water. Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will
look much heavier than 1t is. Its
lustre and softness will also de-
light you.

Mr.. Hill is one of Tacoma s
leading architects. His friends
took out nomination papers for
him, thinking that his architect
ural and construction knowledge
would be an asset to the board.
Frederick Heath, the outgoing
member of the park board, is al
80 an architect.
Born in Joliet, Ill. y, in 1875, Hill
polished off his common school
education with a course in archi-
lecture at the University of ILL
nois, graduating In 1899. For two
years he practiced his profession
in Chicago, and during that time
made a casual study of the Chica-
go park system, which was then
the high state of de-
velopment which has since made
It famous,
Associated With Billiard
In 1903 Mr.. Hill came to Ia
coma and took position with
George w. Billiard. a pioneer
architect of this city. After IS
months he removed to Seattle, but
returned to Tacoma shortly after
ward. Soon partnership was eff.
fected between Billiard and Hill
The two architects have conducted
a successful business since that
time, having prepared plans for
some of the largest buildings and
residences in Tacoma.
Hills hobby is fishing and out.

in other words he is under no
restraint. He does not have
to put on manners, talk about
things that are of no inter-
est to him, continually en-
deavor to make himself pleas
ing, etc. He slides right in
and knowing that what he
talks about is of mutual in
terest. If he is tired and
doesn't care to talk, Jim and
Jack understand and every
thing is all right.
After a few experiences in
going out with a girl he comes
to the conclusion that the
pleasure her company gives
him does not repay him for
the effort he puts forward to
entertain her. He finds that
aside from planning the en-
tertainment and the paying
for 1t that 1t becomes a long
drawn out effort to please
her. His words must be
chosen carefully. He must
talk about things only that
interest her. Must say yes
when he wants to say no and
ding when he wants to say
damn.
When he calls at her home
his labor is multiplied, he
not only has to please her but
papa and mamma and little
brother and sister as we'll.
There is no fifty-fifty
basis. The man must go clean
over into her world and leave
everything that interests him
behind. IL she Is a talker he
must listen to her chatter
about this fellow and that fell
low and her SANDER of her
girl friends. So, truly he Is
very glad to get back to his
boy friends.
This is sad but true. Miss
Grey, and its up to the girls
to do something about it, be-
cause 1t is they that are doing
the worrying about 1t. There
is only one word that an
swers the whole attitude of
we fellows, and that word is
DISGUSTED.

According to the Prussian mind this army was

were paid better stipend than is the rule In
Germany Forsooth, therefore, they were mer-
cenaries and would give the Germans small

We have sort of sneaking suspicion that the
editor of the Cologne paper and those whom his
writings fool are going to have sudden awak-

troops get into the fighting line. And they will
only be the advance guard of the hundreds of
thousands of Americans who will be ptting
