SiIls Takes Fling at Athletics

President Sills of Eowdoin college
pointed out that athletics were made
for the colleges, and not the colleges
for athletics. Wherever athletics pre-
dominated in modern college, that
institution was intellectually dead.
Athletics rightly used was a factor
not only in the social aspects, but in
every phase of college life.
He said that for his part he would
welcome the day when the coach in
every college was a member of the
teaching staff. He would welcome the
time when every boy in the college

CHEAP WIT,

"The Anathema," the questionable
publication at the West Virginia Uni
versity to which the Register referred
few weeks ago, has changed its
name-not for the better-and will DO
known hereafter, providing its exis-
tence is not cut short, as "Moonshiner. "
This is the form Of wit that seems to
fill the minds Of the callow youths who
are in charge of this unnecessary jour
nal, but it is a distinct reflection on
our State that should not be tolerated.
The University authorities will do well
TO eliminate this particular publica-
tion-or at least censor it pretty ef-
fectively. II they are unwilling to
hold it in check there is higher au-
thority that will probably act.

Navy be utilized to catch the rum
runners who are actively engaged in

Cuba and other neighboring islands
This is a good idea-why not also
use our soldiers to catch the boot

The bootleggers and whiskey runners

Announcement is made that Germany
has paid up to this time something
over six billion marks, or about one
twentieth of the indemnity which she
owes to the Allies. In forty or fifty
years more she will be rid of the en-
tire debt. War has been an expensive
luxury to Germany, but probably it is
worth what it cost TO be rid OF the Ho-
