They wonder : just what is the niestiori we're trying to decide. A group of students got to other and drew up topics for discussion, to revise the honor system. But they have only touched hft snnerficial elements of the problem. They content them selves with serious arguments about student council power, classification of sentences, ana such stuff. That is not the question we are trying to decide. The real -question is this: Will every student on this campus assume the obligations Mioal; Dances Postponed DEAN SAYS ACTION TAKEN IN EFFORT TO STOP ILLNESS Administration Takes Steps to Avoid Any Large Student Gatherings and Exposure CONFERS WITH DOCTORS AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION There is no need for worry or panic about the orders of yes terday which postponed Student-Faculty Day, the Mid-Winters and athletic contests. , These postponements did not come about as a result of any sort of epidemic. They were proclaimed as precautionary measures. Students should not begin or carry rumors that the infirmary is over-crowded and incapable of handling any more patients. This is not true. : - ; There should be no rumors that "flu" is spreading faster than we can cope with it. This is not true. The truth of the matter is that when colds are prevalent, wea ther adverse, and living conditions irregular in such weather, two Administrative Heads Act In Forestalling Epidemic The following statement was released yesterday afternoon by Dean R.

The Student-Faculty Day committee, which had completed has not made any changes in the final arrangements for the sec- plans for the convention, accord ing to J. Marion Saunders, ex ecutive secretary of the associa- ond annual celebration which was to be held tomorrow, took immediate action by setting the responsibility of the honor sys tern or will you not? If a vast bulk of the students ijyill not, THEN we'll discuss the changes in superficial struc ture and even changes in the system itself. THEN we will switch to the proctor system if i;he students want it. But we will NOT continue our attempts to operate under our present system when the stu dents REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE- DEMANDS WHICH CrROUP HONOR NECESSAR ILY PLACES UPON THEM. When we repair a bridge which is caving in and allowing people to crash through to obliv ion, we don't put another layer of Tarvia on the top. No, we either re-build the -very foundations or destroy it entirely as unsafe and build an- pther, So it is here. For those who Tiave slipped off the bridge and -those who will be coming over it later, we are bound to WORK PROM THE VERY BOTTOM AT THE HEART OF THE PROBLEM. It will take a long time.

I dents of the other institution. Classes Today University classes will not be halted, contrary to the ru mor which spread over the campus yesterday. The pre cautionary measures taken by the University administra tion in regard to the special large events of the weekend do not embrace ordinary class-room attendance. However, all students who have even slight colds are urged to go to the infirmary immediately, be treated and placed on the sick list, and to remain away from class until advised by infirmary doctors that their condition warrants a return to class-work. These students will be ex cused from class attendance by University physicians. No Coal Shortage Here Threatened, Says Hill Changing Government PETITION ASKS REVISION Purchase Supervisor : Says Plenty Fuel on Hand at Tracks of "The University is in no dang er of a coal shortage," accord ing to a statement by G. M. Hill, supervisor of purchases and stores for the University. Within the last 24 hours the University has received six car loads, and has an order of 17 cars besides the coal already re ceived. Mr. Hill says there is no danger of this order being can celled, and that the University is certain of being able to . se cure additional orders. Because of the unusual wea ther conditions of the past few weeks, it is understood that the coal condition has become acute throughout the nation. Francis Fairley, president of the student body, yesterday ap pointed a committee to take un der consideration recommenda tions for changing student gov ernment. The action came about as the result of a petition re questing changes in the present set-up of ' student government and the honor system. The petition, signed by 12 campus leaders, suggested cer tain changes which might be de bated, revised, accepted or re jected by the committee. Proposals The proposals mentioned were : 1. That no student be sus pended for a first offense, but that he be placed on probation for the remainder of his college career, that he flunk the course on which he cheated, that his parents or guardian be notified of the episode, and that expul sion shall result from a second offense. 2. That no student be report .d for an offense committed more than one year previously. 3. That an effective method (Continued on page two) who had been obtained through the Music Corporation of Ame rica to play for the winter dances.
