THE AMERICAN HAILING SIGN

THERE are quite lot of newspaper
editors over the country COM
planning of the tremendous task Presi-
dent Harding imposed upon himself by
restoring the old New Years Day re-
ception. Shaking hands with $500 peo-
pie in four or five hours and giving each
person word of kindly greeting is
deemed too severe an undertaking.
CInGs- far Mr.. Harding has not COM
planned, but, on ,the other hand, it is
intimated that he likes the job.
Handshaking is a mere symbol. but
the American people are much given
to the use of symbols. Probably half
of the men of the country wear some
sort of emblem on their lapes, an
emblem that means something to other
men who are met on the street. A
handshake is q symbol of friendship and
although we could get along without it
just as the Indians now get along with
out their pipe of peace, yet it is un-
doubtedly worth while. If we had any
suc gestion to make concerning the
New Years reception it would be that
the President might please lot of
people by holding the reception some
where besides Washington.

HAYS TAKES BROAD VIEW

POSTMASTER GENERAL HAYS
l has come out strongly against the
attempt in some quarters to prohibit by
law the publication of racing news.
The movement has gained such head
way that its friends succeeded in at
taching a rider to bill pending in the
House of Representatives so that rae
ing news would be prohibited transpor-
tation through the mails, along with
lottery and cheating devices. 81 was
not consulted about the provision, de-
clared Mr.. Hays, land l hope this Sec
tion will not pass. The whole bill had
better be defeated, in my opinion, than
to add this additional curtailment of the
freedom of the press. There has been
very strong tendency of late in that
direction, and am sure it is essential
that such tendency should be checked.
\ am reminded Of Voitaire's statement,
4 wholly disapprove what you say, and
will defend with my life your right to
say it,"
There are other ways of removing
the race track gambling evil than
through the indirect method of prohib-
iting the transmission of news thereof
through the mails. There are probably
certain crimes committed for the sole
purpose of achieving notoriety for the
criminal through press account of his
exploits. But that does not mean that
newspapers cannot publish news story
of the incident. Crime is sought to be
checked through laws directed at The
perpetrator. The racing evil can be
curbed in a similar direct fashion. The
people are entitled to the news of the
country, whether it is good or bad, and
tQ curtail the freedom of the press in
gCfng it to them strikes at the very
root of popular government.

university alumni and former stud
ents in southern Idaho are unanimous
ly and enthusiastically behind Coach

he is highly capable football ment-
or, but we also have been delighted
with his splendid personality. Fight

are certain to be revived under his

This was the statement made this
morning by A. J. Priest, Boise attorn-
ey and former graduate man ager of
athletics at the university, who has
arrived in Moscow for a visit of sever
al days.

ditions of other years. There was a
time when Idaho eleven licked faster,
heavier teams because they outfought
them and that same spirit can be
brought back under 'Matty's' inspiring
leadership.
1--WE are not expecting sensational
developments this season, but we do
feel sure that the team will make a
creditable showing and that still furth-
er improvement will be made in the
years that lie ahead. My personal be-
lief is that Idaho's athletic future
never has been more promising.
Good Coaching Staff
''Let me say, too, that southern Ida
no alumni are delighted with the en-
oil Of tha ,1r,iuorcity h.
ing staff. We are quite sure that Dav-
id Macmillan is the ablest basketball
coach in the west; we sincerely appre-
ciate the fine Spirit that made Prof.
Ray E. Neidig offer his services as as
sistant football mentor and we know
that Albert Knudson is going to make
the most efficient graduate manager
Idaho ever boasted. Dent forget that
Manager and Coach Knudson played
on three Idaho teams which trounced
w. S. G. That item is significant and
important.
cali southern Idaho is looking for

1900 STUDENTS
ON IDAHO CAMPUS
REGISTRATION STARTS AT UNI
RSITY-H0USING PROBLEM
BECOMES SERIOUS

Enrolment started at the Univers-
ity of Idaho Monday morning with
the prospect of the heaviest registra-
tion in the history of the institution.
Estimates place the number of stu
dents on the Idaho campus at 1900,
although no definite enrolment fig
ures have as yet been completed. Stu
dents continued to arrive in Moscow
on all trains Monday and more are
expected up to the end of the week.
Due to the heavy enrolment the
housing situation is regarded as seri-
Gus and can only be relieved by the
construction of the new women's
dormitOry. Moscow people threw open
their homes Sunday night to upper
classmen while all freshmen and
sophomore girls were housed for the
night at Ridenbaugh and Jenkins halls.
The delay in the arrival of car load
of furniture further complicated the
housing problem.
Within the next 4S hours all stu
dents will be placed in rooms and the
university will be running smoothly
with the opening of classes on We'd
nesday. Despite the congestion in
housing new students the first day of
registration passed with little if no
confusion, made possible by the sys-
tematized method of registration.
Registration System Unchanged
The system of registration is prac-
tically the same as that of last year.
New students are required to go to
the committee on admissions and then
to the deans of the colleges in which
they are to enroll. Registration hours
are from $50 until noon and from
to o'clock. Glass cards are filled
out by the students and approved by
the dean. Registration fees are paid
into the bursar's office.
There was a slump in registration
Monday forenoon when the freshmen
girls were guests at the six Idaho
sorority houses. The new girls were
divided into six groups of 80 each for
the progressive tea. Every new girl
was thus given an opportunity to
visit each sorority house. Each group
stayed at house about As minutes
and then went on to the next house.
The sororities that entertained Mon
day afternoon were Gamma Phi Beta,
Delta Gamma, Kappa Kappa Gamma,
Kappa Alpha Theta, Alpha Delta, and
Omega Phi Alpha.
Students are Crowded
Students are crowded at Lindley
hall, mems dorn1itory, and Rfden-
baugh hall, womens dormitory. Many
students spent Sunday night at the
University hut and at Lindley num-
Der of the new students slept on mat
tresses on the floor. University au-
thorities feel that with the arrival
of new dormitory furniture, the as
sistance of the Moscow people, and
the construction of the new women's
dormitory, that the university hous-
ing problem will be solved for the
year.
State Senator Ralph Harding of
Oneida county telegraphed L. F. Par
sons, executive secretary, Monday
that six students, including his son,
had left for the university. Three of
these students formerly attended the
Utah Agricultural college at Logan,
Utah. From advance figures the reg
istration of students from southeast
ern Idaho will be unusually heavy

was on the right side of the road and

impossible for the driver to control it.
