WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 1913
The student coun
Progression cil has recently pass
ed a resolution the
purpose of which is to restrict the
electioneering around the polls
during college and class elections.
The gist of this regulation is, that
no electioneering shall take place
about the college after two hours
previous to the time set for the
election.
This move on the part of our
governing body is certainly one to
be highly commended. The evils
of electioneering around polls must
Certainly have been very apparent
to the various voters, and especially
to our freshmen constituents, and
the action by means of which this
obnoxious evil has been eradicated,
is most decidedlyanother step to
ward the acme of college civiliza
tion.
Such spells of progressiveness,
which we have been experiencing
of late certainly bear good fruit as
a result. The student body is be
ginning to realize that good preced
ents should be observed with ad
miration and respect, and yet at the
same time it has comprehended the
fact, that customs, which contain
within themselves qualities that are
not beneficial as a whole, should
go. Reform takes time and it
takes courage, but if each individ
ual will consider himself a single
unit of the progressive tendency
toward the more ideal, and will
have the courage to support his
convictions, then the outlook for
an ideal institution appears to be
splendid
Although this is a digression, it
is yet pertinent to say,: that any
proposed changes or reforms must
be earnestly thought over, and care
fully analysed; and then the man
that cannot come to the correct
solution of the confronting prob
lem, must be an abnormal person.
One discrimination however has to
be considered, and that is the dif
ference between supposed enjoy-
went, and comparative benefit
The new flag scrap

• committee will be in
augurated on Old Beaver field,
next Saturday at 1:30 o'clock.
This scrap in itself is in reality a
very decided improvement over the
former one the preludes of which
have been in special evidence this
The good features about this new
contest are that the sophomores
will not be kept up during the
week, the people will not be an
noyed by shooting, and the general
suspense which prevailed during
the former period, will now be
centered in the fifteen minute con-
test on Saturday.
The committee itself does not
know whether this scrap will prove
to be satisfactory and whether it
will be expedient to hold it every
year.. It merely offers this new
form of contest, for trial and ex-
periment, as it were, and so the
advisability of incorporating it into
our regular system of scraps may
be decided upon after the termi
nation of the strife.
One thing is very apparent and
that is that a revision, or probably
complete abolition of our presen
forms of scraps may have to ensue
in the near future, on account o
the increasing size of the two lower
classes. In such a scrap as the
cider or flag contest, there will pro
bably be about one thousand men
next year. These men are all try
ing to force their way toward the
nucleus in the centre, and the pres-
sure in the centre is enormous. I
is just in consideration of the pres
sure and of the vast number of men
participating, that the college may
have to forego the present form of
scrap, and adopt some special form
as they do in the larger uni
versities.- --------- ----
Our old, but hardly
Music definite custom of
For All campus singing is be
ing taken up with un
usual vigor this year, as is befitting
our improvement along musical
lines especially noticeable during
the past few months. It is gratify
ing to note that last Friday evening
nearly three hundred men joined in
the singing, taking advantage of the
fact that Musical Director Robin
son was to lead the singing. A
still greater attendance is hoped
for this Friday evening, when a
some suitable place on the campus
the singing will be especially for
the entertainment of the numerous
college visitors of that day.
The custom of campus singing is
rightly instituted,not for the purpose
of holding out-of-door concerts, or
of rendering formal music, but to
promote good fellowship, to furnish
entertainment to all who take part
and to all who listen. To this end,
all the songs to be used are familiar
to every one, and no great musical
ability is necessary. All are urged
to help in advancing this pleasing
custom.
The Lecture on Palestine
President E. E. Sparks delivered
the second in his series of two
illustrated lectures on the Holy
Lands, last Friday evening in the
auditorium, presenting an instruc
tive and finely illustrated discourse
on his trip through Palestine, Con
stantinople and other points of in
terest in Turkey and Greece.
Palestine was the principal sub
ject of the lecture, the President go
ing at length into the narration of
the time spent there, showing many
excellent views of interesting points

in the city and pleasing his audi
ence with realistic descriptions and
well appointed stories of incidents
of the journey. In the same at
tractive manner the visit in Con
stantinople was portrayed, the
scenes with the accompanying
explanations and discriptions so
vividly illustrating the ancient city
that one could readily imagine
himself there in reality as he list
ened.
The trip through Greece was
splendidly illustrated with pictures
of the ruins of ancient Greek
architecture, the President pointing
out the special beauties and fine
ness of structure they yet retain in
spite of age and the wear of time,
giving one a new conception of the
wonderful works of art produced
by the ancient Greek.
All of the pictures used in this
lecture and in the one delivered
some weeks ago are from President
Sparks own collection, secured
while on his trip through the Holy
Lands, and the lectures have been a
source of instruction and much
enjoyment to everyone who attend
ed them.
