Two features of the stag will be a Trojan newsreel and the appearance of Eddie Davis, yell king. Davis will lead the freshmen in several school yells.

The police officer blasted students who make a practice of parking their cars in the red zones, blocking sidewalks, cross parking, and double parking. He also advised students that whereas angle parking was legal last year on Hoover street, this year it is illegal and parallel parking only is allowed.

For this purpose we shall divide our discussion into four parts and treat it under the following considerations: structure and spirit, insttutionalism, and democracy.
STRUCTURE VITAL
Dr. Helsel continued:
‘‘Structure is the framework of being. It affords the scaffold, the skeleton that relates the parts.
“Institutionalism is upholding i, defending the authority and power of an institution, and an institution as an order or system which has become established in society. ’ “A democracy is commonly held | to be that form of government ir which the supreme power is retained by the people and exercised either directly or indirectly through . a system of representation and With Lionel Barn more ^ serving delegated authority periodically renewed.
