CONN. COLLEGE
 RAISES $l,40O
Student Friendship Drive a Most
 Successful One

New London, Dec. 16.--When the students of Connecticut college left tonight to spend the Christmas hoii-
 days at their home, they left with the feeling that the college had lived up to it's high standards established in previous years in the annual student friendship drive. It was announced to- day before the girls had left that a total of $1400 had been raised in cash and forwarded to the treasurer in York for the relief of destitute stu dents in Europe.
 How this record will compare with similar gifts from other colleges will
 not be known until after Christmas,
 but in 1917, 1918 and 1920 Connecti- cut college girls contributed the larg-
 est per capita amount raised for this
 purpose in any of the mems or wom- ems colleges in the country The $1400 total this year is the gift of some 375 girls
 The plan used for campaigning for the student friendship fund that was originated here and has been widely used in other colleges in the last year or two. A representative group of 25 girls met and each indicated what she thought she could give. The 25 figures were added up an the total divided by 25, giving the average that be- came the goal of the campaign work CTS
 Prominent among the student frienship fund drive leaders were Miss Dorothy Randall '23 of New Haven, who was general chairman; Julia Warner 23 of Naugatuck; Elizabeth H. Holmes "A of Montclair, N. J.; Gloria E. Hollister "A of New York city; Ann Slade '22 of Thetford; M. P. Taylor '22 Of Windsor; Helen T. '23 of New Haven; Mar iorie Backes '23 of Wallingford; Helen VI. Forst PA of Mddletown; Margaret E. Baxter '22 of Taunton Mass. Janet Crawford PA of Westport; Virginia Hays of Montcair, N. J.; Barbara Kent "A of Forestville; and Minna s. of Holyoke. Mass.

MERIT SYSTEM IS
 PUT IN DISCARD
Prof. Farnam Deplores Repeal of Acts Which Restore the
 Spoils System.

New Haven, Dec. 1.-The repeal of the state civil service law by the last
 general assembly was referred to last
 night by President Henry w. Farnam in making his annual report to the Connecticut Civil Service Reform as- sociation. He said that in Connecticut 'an influential group has ever since the elections of 1914 tried to under mine the merit system, and the re- publican landslide of 1920 gave them the opportunity.
 The defeat does not mean that the republican party is opposed to the reform said MT. Farnam, nor does it mean that the republicans in Con- necticut are spoismen XXX New Lon don has adopted the city manager plan and as this universally involves the merit system the present mayor of that city, MT. l.. F. Whiton, has applied to New Haven for advice with regard to details"
 In making note of legislative Presi- dent Farnam said that the year has been one of reaction eliminating in the repeal of the entire civil service law. The governor, in his inaugural address, referred to the matter in such a way as to give the impression that he desired the repeal of the law, al- though he actually put before the leg islature the alternative of either re- pealing it or improving it."
 President Farnam praised Senator Bakewell for his efforts to keep the law and improve it. He also said that President Harding's stand on civil service has not been as drastic as that of President Wilson. The situa- ton in other fields, he said, was not encouraging, and he gave a review of the operation of the national law es- pecially as applied to government de- partments. The meeting and dinner last night was the fortieth anniversary of the local body and the thirtieth of the state association.
