Illinois Wesleyan Argus Vol. XVI BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 20, 1909 No. 2 OCTOBER, HAIL! And now the merry autumn whirl begins; In rustic woodland paths the first gold leaves And red, vie with the poppies in the sheaves In making gay reflections in each pool. The breezes that throughout the long, warm months Have sighed and whispered to the birds all day, Now romp and haste them on their southward way; Farewell to summer; fair October, hail! -Exchange. The New Rules A true college paper is one which should repre-sent the interests of all the students. It should be the medium for the expression of the thoughts and feelings of the students. On the other hand the whole responsibility for the success of a college paper does not rest upon the shoulders of the editorial staff alone. Students should con-tribute. Even though they feel that their con-tribution be small, yet they should feel that they have an interest in the paper. The paper should be something to which they can point with pride and say, "This is our paper. It is an expression of our wills." Realizing this and seeing several things in our midst which would make subjects for profitable discussions we take this means of trying to cre-ate an interest in the college paper as well as arouse some discussion. Not long since there was placed in the hands of the students some printed matter bearing the heading, "General Information," and purport-ing to come from the faculty. This "Informa-tion" contained rules concerning the regulation of absences or cuts from classes. The reason we use this as the subject for our first discussion is that we have overheard remarks from several sides that these rules did not seem to give justice to the student body. It is not our purpose to doubt the wisdom of the faculty that created these rules, but merely to give expression to the thoughts of the student body. Let us examine one or twvo of these rules to see whether the charge is made rightfully. Quot-ing rule number two we read, "The maximum number of cuts for a term for any student shall not exceed five per term, for any five hour course, and a proportionate number from other courses. The first unexcused absence in excess of this number, or an unexcused absence from any test, will suspend the student from all college exer-cises, until he shall be reinstated by the faculty and shall take a special examination, for which a fee of one dollar must be paid." Do we hear some one say, "What is wrong there?" Well, hold on. Read rule three in connection with this. Itsays, "No excuses will be granted for single day absences." We believe that the majority of students in
