THE MAROON TIGER
COLLEGIATE CROSSROADS
A new system of faculty advisors for Freshmen has
been announced at Princeton. The plan serves to bring
the student and his adviser close together, thus bridg
ing the gap between school and university life. It is
believed that an intimate knowledge of the school from
which the students has been graduated will be of con
siderable importance to the adviser in fulfilling his func
tion properly. This knowledge the adviser will ac
quire under the new system by continuous contact with
the graduates of a given school and also by occasional
visits to the school for conferences with the headmasters
and with groups of boys who plan to apply for admis
sion to Princeton.—N. S. F. A.
If John Jones and Ike Page have always been the best
of friends for years; if they have always trusted and con
fided their deepest thought one with the other; and if
they have never had misunderstandings one with the
other back in the old home town, it seems to be utterly
ridiculous that the lifelong friends should begin to act
like Jackasses as soon as each has a different frat pin
put on his vest—Lincoln News.
In preliminary observations on the desirability of en
suring world peace, Dr. Garfield remarked that the rea
son was in realistic terms, because the nations have an
increasing number of interests in common which are en
dangered by war. Economic interests are largely in
ternational and it is obvious that world economics can
be solved only by some form of world organization.

President Hoover in a recent radio address urged chat
the nation support the unendowed liberal arts colleges.
“Throughout our history”, the President said, “these col
leges have been and are now the seed beds of leader
ship. They have contributed a large part to the presence
of our land of nearly 2,000,000 college trained men and
women. Theirs is a great honor roll of men and wom
en in our nation. The finest traditions of our country
are rooted in their associations and their inspirations.

Requests were made at a recent meeting of the Pan-
Hellenic Council for the University to allow Freshmen
to live in the fraternity houses, and the plan is a good
one in the eyes of The Wheel.
A man comes off to school and should not be made
to “rot it” in his every day life. And regardless to what
the opposition may say, the rats would get it where they
don’t prefer to.
Let a man get collegiate by degrees; the change
from the home to the fraternity house is too great for
one year—Emory Wheel.
Gradually over a period of years, the freshmen rules
have been growing less and less rigid. Alumni come
back and marvel at how gently the freshmen are being
treated. While these same freshmen complain of their
position. Even within the port two or three years, cer
tain of the freshman-sophomore functions have been abol
ished, and with them have gone several minor details
of the rules which made the underclassman feel his place.

THE MU LAMBDA JOURNALISM SOCIETY
“The pen is mightier than the sword”, thus spoke a
man with a vision, that had realized the value of jour
nalistic endeavor. He was so convinced of its value
that he asserted that armies and regiments fail to hold
their own in the presence of a greater force.
Yet how many people fail to realize this fact and fail
to take advantage of journalistic opportunities when
they are presented to them.
The Mu Lambda Journalism Society invites YOLT to
attend its next meeting, if you are interested in journal
ism, an enrolled undergraduate at Morehouse College and
willing to cooperate. If you measure up to these re
quirements consult the following for full particulars:
A. L. Jordan, President; A. L. Sanders, Secretary.
I never had such a tough time in my life. First I
got angina pectoris, then tuberculosis, pneumonia, and
finally appendicitis. I don’t know how I ever pulled
through. It was the hardest spelling test I ever had.
