Aciidity

no good reason at all--its a sign that
Acidity is, getting in its deadly work.

and they rag our nerves to the point

CHICAGO Student
LIFE FACES UPSET
Members of Student Body to
Have No Restriction as
f Class Ties Fade.
nv the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, February 13.-An iinpend.
ing revolution In undergraduate life
sttrs the campus of the University Of
Chicago.
Wherever students and co-eds gather
20 chat talk centerS on the metamor-
phosis of the coming year that will
sweep Freshman, sophomore, junior and
senior from the college vocabulary.
The traditional class system of the
American college is to be submerged
fraternity life overShadowed as students
and faculty merged in a new COM
munal life. The change Is an incident
of the midway institutions departure
after only 40 years of exiStence-from
the beaten path of higher education to
experiment with flexible curriculum
that imposes no restriction on the
student.
QuadrangleS Planned.
DR.. George A. Works, who will be
dean Of students when the new system
becomes effective next Autumn, told of
the university'S plan today for construc-
ton of group of great, luxurious quad
ran9leS where more communal cam
pus life will be created. Student and
professor will live and work together.
These quadrangles, said DR.. Works,
may cement the fraternities into the
structure as integral parts Of the uni
versity.
''Their members viii recognize the
ideal living and studying conditions in
the quadrangles," he said, and be led
to appoint faculty advisors and coun-
selors in their own groups. Two quads
will house $50 men each. A woman's
dormitory Is also planned. The rela-
tionship of faculty to students, both in
the quads and claSsrooms, will be one
of cooperation, of helping students to
reach up for knowledge instead of SHOW
ing it down to them. We want to excite
them mentally"
Exciting some apprehension among
the fraternity circles is the system, to
become effective in 1882, of deferring
pledging of new members until they
have been in residence one year. Since
the chapters have always been numer-
ically small on the average, the weaker
groups anticipate difficulty in maintain
ing their identities when unable to rush
6rst year students.
Glass division and loyalty is expected
TO vanish utterly under the system that
permits students to drop courses, COM
plete them or begin new subjects at will.
President Robert Maynard HutchinS has
said q genius might complete the first
two years study in one quarter, or three
to be rare. Dean Works estimated 10
per cent might finish two years work
In one year.
intercollegiate athletic competition,
the educators say, will not be affected,
although the athletes may have to take
examinations during the year to de-
termine eligibility. For other students
examinations are to be compulsory only
In June.

Health Associated With
Sli1nness and Laughter

The old advice, Laugh and
grow fat" is out of date Not many
years ago fatness was regarded as
a sign of robust health, but we
know now that it is undesirable
even in babies or young children.
DR.. Lechmere Anderson, medical
officer for DOncaster, England,
claims that the phrase should be
Laugh and grow healthy"
Laughter" he says, ''is essentially
associated with good health, but
adipose tissue, if at all undue, can
not be regarded as a favorable con-
dition. Leanness of body is far
more likely to be associated with
strength and energy"
The fat person. he explains, has
to make his heart and his muscles
work far harder than they were
designed to do. since they are
called upon to deal with an extra.
load of from one to many pounds.
For those who wish to become slim
and healthy Doctor Anderson rec
ommends the taking of little sugar,
bread. or starchy food-and laugh
ter.

Magistrate Had "Called
the Turn" Unknowingly

The president of the Oxford un-
ion completed his term of office and
came down to London to see some
friends. The friends were cOngen-
ial, not to say convivial, and in the
early hours of the morning the
president of the union was found
reposing in a wheelbarrow in the
middle Of PiccadilIy circus by a
policeman.
Before the magistrate, the presi-
dent, having very little recollec-
ton of what had happened, de-
cided to bluff it out. The magis-
trate wanted to know why he had
chosen a wheelbarrow for a rest
ing place.
The president replied that he
was there for purely valetudina-
rian reasons"
The magistrate pointed out the
offenders lack of responsibility and
respect for the court. You talk" !"
he added, "as if you were 'er, well,
president of the Oxford union"
And the president leaned over
the dock and in a very soft and
tender voice said:

Ghost Stories Revived

People of POrtchester, England.
are more certain than ever that
ghosts inhabit the famous ancient
castle of the place. They point to
the recent finding of three skele-
tons at a spot where they say
ghosts were definitely seen to van
ish on at least three separate oc-
casions last winter. The castle
was once an early British camp,
then a Roman fortress, later a Nor
man stronghold, and in the Napole-
onic war a Jail for French prison
erS. Smallpox and other epidemicS
broke out several times among the
French prisoners and a great num-
ber of them died and were buried

When the Light Dawned
on Obstinate Merchant

The editor Of the local paper was
unable to secure advertising from
one of the business men of the
town, who asserted stoutly that he
himself never read ads, and didn't
believe anyone else did.
"Will you advertise if | can con-
vince you that folks read the ads?"
IF you can show me" was the
sarcastic answer. But you can't"
In the next issue of the paper,
the editor ran a line of small type
in an obscure corner. 1t read:
"What is Murphy going to do
about it?"
The business man, Murphy,
hastened to seek out the editor next
day. He admitted that he was be-
ing pestered out of his wits by the
curious. He agreed to stand by
the editors explanation in the
forthcoming issue, and this was:
Murphy is going to advertise, of
course"
Having once advertised, Murphy
is still advertising.-Forbes Maya

sional pride was reused.

"Ain't" Mere ColloquiaIism

The word "ain't" has no stand
ing, except as a colloquialism,
though on account of common
usage and convenience many per-
sons would like to include it.
Crowell's Dictionary of English
Grammar calls 1t vulgarism that
is incorrect in any context, and not
a true contraction of ''am not, are
not" or us not" There is
temptation to use 'ain't" in the in
terrogative first person singular
because there is no proper con-
traction for "Am / not?" but
"ain't" cannot be used properly
even In this case.
