TBAThoaryoldcushmolAmerhneol- leges and universities—hazing—sometimes unintentionally cruel, sometimes downright ma- licious, and always offending to the sensibilities of the poor, helpless victims, is gradually pass- ing to the pages of memory, along with witch burning, ducking of town gossips and other such forms of public entertainment. Two more of the leading universities of the country, Columbia and Pennsylvania, were added this Fall to the list of those banning the ragging of the poor, bewildered freshmen, whose verdancy is no more pronounced® than the egotism of the sophomore or the superiority - of the senior. Pennsylvania has adopted a rule forbidding hazing, but leaving undisturbed the student requirement that freshmen wear their distin- guishing caps, by which newcomers may be immediately identified. : k " No longer will the inhabitants .of Gotham gaze upon a youth pushing a penny along the street’ or appearing daubed with paint, while sophomores supervise the public display. Only the black cap, with white button and black necktie, tells the passerby that he.is meeting -one launched on the seas of higher learning. The ‘laying on of rough hands has passed at 'Harvard, Princeton .ard Yale, and only " forms of dress are required to distinguish the sheep from the goats. California is not quite ready.to ban hazing altogether, and permits it within discreet boundaries, such as the requiring of a woman- hater among the newcomers to ‘propose pub- 2 Bar for siackening 28 Increase. threads in a loom. 30 Coffee beans. 3 And: Latin. . 32 Falling water. 4 Turn and slide out . 33 Ocean. of the course. 34 Terminate. - - 5 Denominations. 35 Heroine cf “The 6 Precludes from i . averring. 7.

It took a fatality to bring Texas into line, a freshman being killed there as he ecrept through bedsprings charged with electricity, Michigan, -Rensselaer Poly, Trinity College, North Carolina and Delaware are other schools which have turned thumbs down on the great annual sport of “riding” the Frosh, and. it seems likely that soon a physical hazing will be about as unlikely as an out-and-out ase sault. : % Spread of Corn Borer. THE layman will find little comfort in the annual report- on the spread of the corn borer in the Great Lakes region, but Departe . ment of Agriculture officials who have been carrying on the control work are encouraged ‘because the increased infestation was no worse than had.been anticipated. “For the Great Lakeés area, taken as a whole,” says Dr. W. H Larrimer, who. summarized' the results of the year's activities; “the past seae son was generally unfavorable to the corn borer. As a result there was only a slight increase in the average abundance of the borer for the en- tire area. In Michigan there was an actual decrease. ] “The situation is roughly similar to that of 1926—the year immediately preceding the big clean-up campaign of 1927. Given a favorable season, enough borers are present in the older infested section to cause a serious infestation in 1930, unless farmers apply control measures on an adequate scale. “Thaose familiar .with developmen's find cone " siderable reason for encouragément. To stop the spread of the borer would require extermi= natipn. To - exterminate the borer we would have to make of the enfire infested region a desert. It.is safe to predict that eventually . the borer will spread through the entire corn belt. . Considerable damage will result, but some of it is unavoidable.. This does not imply the complete. ruin of the crop, however.” * "* ‘.
