Mr. Shedd pointed out that howev er much lie might differ with any of the proposed plans of President Roosevelt, he (lid not believe that the President had at any time any serious thought or desire to assume control or the press through licensing it and putting it under governmental regu lation. "The present menace to the free dom of the press has not conic, and does not lie, in any presidental pro gram of economic reconstruction. Be fore the inauguration of President Roosevelt, restraint of the press was beginning to creep into the govern mental systems of our states through laws enacted by supposedly represen tative legislatures, as through the de crees of judges sitting in state and local courts," Mr. Shedd stated. ' In defining the freedom of the press he said that it is a right of the people, not a privilege of editors and publishers. It is identical in its principle, its essential service, with the right of free speech, and in its declaration and application it is the necessary complement of that pH- Mary right of demdcracy. I.

Milton B. Sweet '37 and Joseph B. Collols '37 were release from fresh man dress customs, while Paul A. Noll 'i7, charged with swearing at upperclassmen, was found. not guilty. Ray, Morse Explain Drop In Freshman Co-ed Marks Contrasting reasons for the fact that over fifty percent of the fresh men women had below grades at the end of the first eight weeks have been expressed by Dean of Women Char lotte E. Ray and Adrian 0. Morse, executive secretary to the President. Recording the largest percentage in the history of the school, the list in cludes the zero grades in the class. "The girls' habit of gathering in groups in the evening tends to put off study time until too late," Miss Ray stated. ."Women who cannot af ford to spend time in this way must assert independence. They should not allow the influences of the group to rob them of the satisfaction they will receive from a feeling of achieve ment—from having done a job well, no matter how small." "Letting things slide is poor prep aration for any position in life," Miss Ray continued. "A good business man never pushes his work aside to be finished later, when a cheery in teresting friend conies into chat." Mr. Morse said that the low rec ord may be the result of differences in the standards of admission of wom en students. ife declared that there have been fewer women applying for admission each of the past two years, while there have been more women admitted each year, causing the SVIIOI - .11101311,..

Dahle, of the de partment of dairy husbandry, returned from the Uniwrsity of Minnesota, where he has been studying for an advanced degree, last week inatically to drop a little. Staling, however, that the stand ard of two or three years ago was exceptionally high, Mx. Morse says that a considerably larger drop in the level could take place before the standing of new students would be considered low. "Professors, on the other hand, maintain their standards for grading until the change in the type of stud ent is strikingly evident," Mr. Mbrse continued, "and no doubt they are grading these students on the forte• basis. After a year or so the grades will he better adapted to the students and an upturn will be evident. It works on much the sonic principle as the price-wages relationship in the industrial world," he concluded Miss Ray suggested that the wom en's fraternity and dormitory presi dents could formulate a committee for experinfental time-budgeting for girls who would like help in arranging their time. A plan will be completed and put into effect in the near fu ture, it is expected.

C. 1934 RUSHING CODE Fraternities Allowed 1 O'clock Date During Activities Of Second Week DRAFT WOULD SHORTEN NEW PERIOD TO 13 DAYS Plans Submitted to Fraternities For Study Before Action On January 24 Three major changes are incorpor ated in the proposed 1931 rushing code, which was submitted to Inter fraternity Council by the rushing committee last night for study by the individual fraternity delegates and constituents before final action at the Council's next meeting, Wednesday, January 21. The preliminary draft provides for dinner dates lasting until 1 o'clock in the morning during the second period of rushing. Luncheon dates will begin at 11 o'clock in the morn ing instead of at 11:30 o'clock. The most radical change, however, in the preliminary draft is setting the date for pledging on Tuesday, September 25. instead of either Sat urday or Sunday, as previous codes have specified. To make this possi ble, the rushing period has been shor tened to thirteen days. flushing Period Shortened President Herman C. Brandt 'i4 re ported that arrangements have been made after a conference with three representatives of the telephone company to install a fraternity house signal switchboard at the central ex change. With the operator able to determine front where the call came, "long distance" tolls will not be charged to incorrect sources as was formerly the case. Treasurers of fraternity houses, meeting Tuesday night, approved of the plan, which was worked out after wide-spread losses had been occa sioned by "chiselers" who made calls and gave the wrong house as the source. One house treasurer report ed that eighteen dollars were lost last month. l)ance Assessment Attacked Frederick S. Watt '3l attacked as exhorbitant the fifty dollar assess ment for Interfraternity Ball when President Brandt submitted the April 13 date set by Student Board for the Council's action. "Twenty-five hun dred dollars was collected for the dance," Wolff said. "None of the other major College dances cost that much." Defending the present set-up of ar rangements. Karl P. Weber jr. pointed out that many fraternity members count upon this dance as the only one they can attend without incurring excessive expense. "We should give the matter careful con sideration from that angle before tak ing definite action," he declared. The Council will vote on the issue at its: next meeting. Harold W. Kalb 'O5 was appointed as manager of the Council's bridge tournament for this year, President Brandt announced.
