Hugh Willoughby the -1 freshman
‘‘boat' say that the reuon Mine
freshmen get by without weariug their
freshman cap i that upperclassmen
don’t report delinquent yearling
''Hi tatcnient i pertinent in view
of the fact that it large number of those
who are interested in school tradition
say that the freshn- n aren't toeing the
mark a freshmen should and are con-
sidering ways and mean of making
them remember that they are freshmen
Willoughby at freshmen boss come
h for considerable criticism because
fat hit1 capacity he is supposed to tec
that the first year men abide by the
rules laid down for them
- "We don't know all the frethmen —
we have to depend on upperclassmen
reporting to us all cases of froth de-
linquency in thematter of red caps and
the like" Willoughby says- -
He add that at organized houses
such as fraternities and dormitories the
upperclassmen tee to it nthat the fresh-
men keep the rules but that at room-
ing houses no discipline is kept
iV
' bbvioutly' Willoughby's mild com-
plaint' is 'justified' If upperclassmen
' don't take the freshman rules seriously
certainly the freshmen won't
' :
l " -
I suggest that the older men hi each
rooming house take it upon themselves
to tee-that the first year boys wear
their' red caps
i '
I realize that the wearing 'of red caps
by 'freshmen isn't the most important
thing in the world— but we who are in
college agree that tlic 'freshmen must
do something so Iqt's havf - 'em do
that: i!

It became definitely known however
that the Whilrwind is not being print-

That the print shop now ha too much
work of a routine nature to permit the
printing of the comic magazine was the
statement of President V B Bizzcll
The magazine waa to have been is-
sued at last Saturday's game hut it
did not make its appearance at that
time Altho the magazine is complet-
ely printed and ready for distribution
at the present time the whole issue is
locked up in a down town printing' es-
tablishment pending whatever action
nuy be necessary for its release
Possibility that the issue may have
been censored recalls the outlawing of
the magazine three years agt because
of objectionable material carried in an
issue at that time
With financial returns for this
