A card from Q. S. Mills advises
that the Columbia debaters, of
which Mr. Katzenstein is one, are
confronted by a proposition in the
shape of a co-ed debater on the Cor
nell team. It seems that the Col
umbia men are on the point of kick
ing out of the traces rather than
meet the lady.

money left over after the commence
ment expenses are defrayed is to be
turned over to the Bursar for use
next year. Any deficit or any
shortage of funds is to be paid out
to contract tor a ij75U. UU commence
ment and speculate on each and every
one of these 150 staying- in order to
bring the receipts up to the required
amount. Almost too uncertain a propo
sition.
We think that our scheme is emi
nently proper and we therefore say
of the Managers' packets. They finally and conclusively that just in pro
alone are responsible for any little
financial miscalculation. Consider
ing this fact, does it not seem only
natural that this affair should be
put strictly upon a business basis?
It seems so to the managers at any
rate, and we have unanimously de
cided not to contract for a single
thing until they have the money in
sight to pay for it.
We do hot expect the University to
pay for it: that is, we do not wish to
have bills coming- in unpaid and have
the University held responsible for
them. Further, it is not the intention
of the ball managers to add any finan
cial strength from a personal stand
point to the quality of the commence
ment, but it is rather up to those who
are going to participate in the dances,
We look upon the running of com
mencemeiit merely as a business prop
osition and we are not going into it to
lose money
The whole thing resolves itself down
into the matter of raising finances
We thought of starting up a dancing
school with the hope of picking up
Jew dollars trom this source, hut we
found such a scheme to be impractic
able, as we could get no place to con
duct this dancing school, We are to
be allowed only a certain number of
stag germans not enough to enable
us to get any considerable financia
aid from this source. Several other
plans were suggested but the only way
around this financial difficulty, as we
see it, is this: ,
To place tickets for the commence
ment dances on sale at once and to
continue their sale until the first of
March. With the money obtained
from the sale of these tickets run
commencement. If we get $100.00 or
$500.00, we will take the same and use
it to the best of our ability. True, we
would hate to give a $100.00 com'
mencement (in speaking of commence
ment, we refer of course to the dances
and the things that go with them)
and we feel confident that we won't
have to, but we feel that if we give
our time and our best efforts to make
the necessary arrangements for com
mencement and that if we are to bear
the responsibility as regards the suc
cess or failure of the commencement,
a $100.00 commencement would cast
no more reflections upon us person
ally, than upon the Senior class and
the University at large. We wish to
eliminate the personal altoerether.
rom a financial standpoint. We feel
that we have been elected in a non-po-
itical election as much upon our
merit as upon anything else, and all
that we ask is a fair chance to let our
merit operate.
We need money to start commence
ment with. We believe that more
men are going to stay for the dances
than ever before and are going to pay
the $5.00, fee charged. How many are
going to stay we do not know nor do
we feel that it is up to Us to calculate.
We wish as many to stay as possibly
can so as to carry out our ideal as to
what a universal commencement ought
to be We can conceive of 150 staying
and participating in the dances, but
not to the extent that we are willing

March 1 will we plan the nature of the
commencement dances. It will be
no harder now to decide to stay for the
dances than it will be later, so we
hope that all will fall in line and pur
chase their tickets. as soon as possible
They can be obtained after Monday
10th, from any one of the Ball Mana
gers.
In order to unify Commencement as
much as possible, we have decided to
offer the two lower classes a dance
with the purpose in view of keeping
as many of them here as we can. The
Junior class will have its dance short
ly, so we have offered the Freshmen
the morning dance, which heretofore
has been known of the Junior Hop
and the Sophomores the first after
noon dance.
We have made propositions to these
two classes, which they are at present
considering. The Sophomore class in
meeting assembled Tuesday turned the
proposition over to a committee for
investigation and consideration. The
Freshman class will discuss the mat
ter in their next meeting.
Whether the classes will accept our
offer we do not know, though we have
made it as reasonable an offer as we
could. We trust that they will take
these two dances as their dances
make them ever afterwards an annual
occasion, and add their strengh numer
ically and financially to the support of
the Commencement dances.
