Plans For Winter
Term AtU. OF M.

students returned from their homes
after the Christmas holidays, the
winter term began at the University
Of Maine today. Final examinations
of the fall semester are only three
weeks in the future and many extra
curriculum activities have been
planned for the winter weeks.
Winter sports, it is expected, will
claim the attention of many students
this term, and the second annual win
ter carnival, which takes place Feb.
s, Q and 10, will attract hundreds of
alumni and former students to the
campus. All kinds of open air COM
petitions will be carried out during
the three days and all of the frater-
mites will entertain guests. A car
nival ball is planned for the evening
of Feb. 0 and there will be informal
parties in all the fraternity houses on
the final evening of the carnival.
There is much interest in hockey
here this year, but as yet the squad
has had no opportunity to practice on
the ice. A new rink has been con-
structed, but was buried under tons
o. snow in the recent blizzard. 1t will
undoubtedly be flooded as soon as the
present thaw eliminates some of the
drifts which cover it now.
Only one varsity basketball game.
that with New Hampshire State on
March 5, is promised9the student sup
porters of this branch of sport.
There are to be two games n Bangor,
however, one with Boston College on
Jan. 81 and another with Worcester
Tech on Feb. 8. These will probably
be well attended by students.
Undergraduate publications are re-
ported to be progressing we'll this
year, and as many members Of the
entering class have interested them
selves in this sort of work, the pres
ent student editors look for a steady
improvement in their product. The
Maine Spring, the quarterly literary
publication issued by the Contrib
utors Club, is expected to appear
early this month, and the second
issue of the Maniac, the humorous
magazine published by the honorary
journalistic society, will doubtless be
produced at the same time.
The Campus, the weekly news
paper, has been constantly improv-
ing throughout the college year under
the competent editorship of Bryant
Patten of Portland. and now COM
pares very favorably with other New
England college publications. The
editorial board of The Prism, the
junior year book, is working hard at
it's task and expects to issue the
book in April. Hazen H. Aver Of
Union is editor this year and Bently
S. Hutchins Of Bangor is business
manager.
The new University catalogue,
which is just off the press. announces
that there are 1474 students enrolled
Maine. Penobscot county, with $50
students to Ter credit, is best repre-
scented at the University, while Cum
berland, with 154, is second. and
Aroostook. with 96, is third. Kenne-
bee county is fourth with 70 students.
This term the recently organized
student government association for
male students, consisting Of a Senate
and a House of Representatives, will
begin to operate. Meetings Of the
two legislative bodies will probably
be called this week and committee
appointments will be made by Roland
+. Cony of Augusta, president Of the
Senate, and Harrison l.. Richardson
Of Orono, speaker Of the House.
Debating is to be one of the Inn
Aortant activities at the University
this year, the season to be started in
