THE WRONG SYSTEM
The system, or Jack of system,
by which the university is run
is fundamentally wrong-. It is
like an inverted pyramid with
the president on the bottom do
ing all of the work, and the other
officers of the administration rest
ing upon him. It should be the
other way the president resting
upon the other executive officers.
One man cannot, however able
thouerh he may be, run an insti
tution having eight hundred stu
dents, sixty men inr the faculty,
all kinds of laboratories, a print
ing shop, two boarding houses,

what makes it interesting. Let's

"All contributions thankfully
accepted" is the advertisement
that both the Magazine and the
Yackety Yack have posted in
every conspicuous place in college
and about town. The sign stares
at one from a position behind
the plate glass of the Post Office,
and glares down with haughty
contours from a position of
vantage on the top of the flag
pole. In the class room every
time the instructor tries to say
somthing funny a patent device
pops out in Jgilt letters on the
black-board and says ''Contribute
That To The Magazine", while
anohter, not to be outdone,
drops down from the ceiling with
"That's The Stuff For The
Yackety Yack". At the Athletic
field one cannot have a quiet hour
of excitement without being dis
turbed by some kind of infernal
device appearing with the infor
mation that "THAT" is wanted
for publication. Indeed
erous and nefarious are the ad
vertising devices in use there that
the park fence has fallen under
the weight put upon it.
this that the president is in-1
efficient or that he has not done
his duties with absolute devotion
to the institution. We tcsrely
mean to say that the system is a
bad one and is full of possibilities
and dangers.
What is needed here is
a system of administration
under which all the work will
not devolve upon one man. It
should be more evenly divided
and consequently more efficient
ly perfevmed. Under the present
system all the responsibility de
volves upon one man. He
is expected to look after the fi
nances, advertising, securing of
supplies, changes in the faculty,
policies, and everything else of
the University.
This is too much work, too
much responsibility, and too
much power for one man to have.
The system should be changed
and more people given a say-so
and some work to do in the run
ning of things here.
Bathing in itself is all right.
To those who are interested in
that form of amusememt there
comes no great amount of harm
from participation except an
occasional cold or two to the ones
who are injudicious in the select
ion of the time and the place of
their baths. We are rather in-
so num-1 clined to agree with those who
say that it is good for one. In
fact we have enough faith in
them and in their theory to' take
