Dear Sirs --
Following the custom pursued by
us for many years, we wish our old cus-
tomers, as well as our new, to return
any coat made by us during the past sea-
son In which the fronts or the linings
may not have given satisfactory wear.
Should any such be found, we will be
pleased to put in a new front, or if
this cannot be done, we will make a new
coat and also^rellne the garment free
of charge.
Yours very'truly,
Ed.|V. Price"&TCo.
Come in today and select your own Spring
style and woolen and leave your measure.
We'll deliver satisfaction at the right price.
Let us prove it; and also prove the worth
of our New Spring Fashions in

What Are the Students of South-
western Going to Do?
We put this question to the I
students of Southwestern Uni-1
vei-sity: Would you rather de-
mand free admission to a few!
practice games which you are not
obliged or even expected, if in-
convenient, to attend—or hold up
the honor of athletics in Soaith-
western, and instead of weaken-
ing confidence in college athletics,
pay oft" this old interest-bearing
debt as soon as possible? Will
you give the Athletic Council a
fair opportunity to place your
athletics on a solid financial basis,
or will you, by showing a lack of
confidence, hurt the very cause
that you wish to help? The ques-
tion of whether we will continue
to have an athletic fee (which
will later be made smaller than
at present) or be thrown back
upon our own uncertain resources
and lose the support of the effi-
cient business men of the Coun-
cil, depends largely upon the at-
titude taken by the students of
Southwestern University.

Why Is There an Athletic
jl Council?
Until this year, athletics were
under the eontrol of the Athletie
Association, a student organiza-
tion. The executive committee
was naturally composed of prac-
tically inexperienced men who
were carrying college courses,
and could not give but a part of
their time to the duties of their
offices. New men were elected
year, and the old men, who
getting on to the knack of
because of graduation,
over the affairs to the
:perienced men. The
ic Association went deeper
debt every year. Finally it
expressed its desire to turn ath-
cs over to an Athletic Council
created by the faculty. That is
why we have an Athletic Council,
and why experienced men are at
rt ■
head of athletics in South-
Is it giving the
IWrthJ'-"
letic Council a square deal when
students are not willing to give
it but a few months to put ath-
letics on a firm basis? The Coun-
cil is the body that decided to
charge for exhibition games.
The Athletic Fee.
The Athletic Fee was only es-
tablished this year. It has not
been used long enough to show
exactly its merits or demerits,
but it has been used long enough
to show that it is much better
than the old method. It is not
intended primarily to furnish free
admission to the intercollegiate
games, but to develop athletics
in Southwestern, and the goal to-
ward which it is working is to
provide agreeable recreation for
every student in Southwestern
University. It is a new experi-
ment and it is but just and right
that the students give it a chance
to show its merits, and not to
complain of the use to which the
Athletic Council puts it. This
year every student will be ad-
mitted for $6,00 to games that
formerly would cost him at least
=
—
$6.30, and besides this, enjoy all
of the other benefits which the
fee brings.
College Honor or More Free
Games. Cf
The Council did not think tnlt1
it would be wise to have more
than ten free baseball games this
year; in the future, of course,
there will be more. If it is nec-
essary that the students shall be
admitted to the practice or ex-
hibition games free, it will be
necessary to cancel some of the
intercollegiate games later in the
season. Some have clamored for
more free games, and say that it
is not right for one Student body
to pay off debts that other stu-
dent bodies have made. Now we
maintain that these debts slu
be paid off just as soon as we
able to. Just because we did not
happen to be students when part
of this debt was made should be
no reason for making the men
who have stood for us in the past
continue for years to come to
stand good for antiquated bank
notes. At the beginning

The Zeta Tan Alpha Open
House, which was held at the res-
idence of Mr. and .Mrs. E. (!. Gil-
lett on I'niversity Avanue, was
one of the most, enjoyable and
pleasing affairs of the season. The
big parlor, library, reception ball
and dining room of the Gillett
home, are all arranged so they
can be made into one long room
and the large apartment was fill-
ed with laughing, chatting groups
of men and women, all enjoying
to the fullest extent the delight-
ful hospitaliity of the Zetas.
The Green o' Erin's Isle was
used in the decorations and a
most pleasing and charming ef-
fect, was secured. Tulle draperies
hung from the chandeliers and
fastened to the draperies were lit-
tle green emblems representing
clover, pipes and other appropri-
ate Irish souvenirs, all in honor of
' j
the redoubtable old St. Patrick.
Mint .colored ices, with eake,
were served and delicious mints
were passed.
On each plate was a small pa-
per pipe or Irish hat, souvenirs
of the occasion. The affair was
delightfully planned and through-
out it all the pleasing hospitality
of the Zetas and Mrs. Gillett and
hev daughters was felt. Out-of-
town guests were: Mrs. VV. E.
Matcliett and little son, Billy;
Misses Allie Bareus, Nello Steele,
Ruth Mitchell, Frances Bareus
and Abbie Graham.
In Honor of Miss Meachum.
All that we ask you to do is to
try our Texas Girl Choeilates,
then we know that you will want
more. Rexall Fountain.
