PASSING UP THE J-HoP

One doesn't hear much in the L. p.
OF the action OF the faculty OF the u.
OF NJ in setting aside the famed J-Hop,
the premier social event OF the year at
the University Reasons for the action
are that the conduct OF the students
and visitors at the J-Iiops In the re-
cent past has been such as TO bring
the affair into disrepute. In lower
Michigan one hears very much OF
this matter Booze is at the bottom
OF the order. The abrogation OF this
social affair Is being discussed in con-
ectlon with similar social events in
the larger places OF this state, sim
liar conditions having invaded many
OF these affairs within the past year
The consensus Of opinion among those
who know is that the J-Hop was a
disgrace TO Michigan. Many OF the
bon-ton club events in Detroit, Grand
Rapids and other places are just as
bad.
Open drinking OF liquor by men
and women on the dancing floor at
such affairs is getting TO be the rule.
AZ a social event. patronized only by
the higher-ups OF one OF our larger
Michigan cities recently. the conduct
OF the dancers was such as TO be
classed as scandalous. The drinking

er thing for the young bloods now

also getting to be the proper thing
FOR the young women TO drink this
toted stun. The seriously minded are
beginning TO take the matter very
gravely
The liquor question isn't dead by
a long ways. The saloon got to be
an economic question and It's hash
is cooked for all time; no one wants
the saloon back. Red liquor and it's

RAIL RATES CAUSE COMPLAINTS

RAIL RATES CAUSE COMPLAINTS
There IS great complaint because
OF the present rail rates. The peo-
Pile are just commencing TO feel their
effect and the complaints will be
greater as the wages OF workers de-
crease while rail rates remain high.
The railroads don't seem to have tax

the working man in their recent rate

ore from Crystal Falls 10 Escanaba
remains the same as il was before the
rate increase but the rate Of coal

position TO the freight rate bill Is con-

the objectors is not well taken. The
