Admitting right at the start that any opinion may be narrow and any action ill-advised, six-western college news- papers have decided that Michigan needs, western competition and that western competition needs Michigan and that the obstacles in the way of a reconciliation are not insurmountable. Pride doesn't or shouldn't, enter in- to the argument at all. All through the Conference schools, among faculty, students, and alumni, the latch-key is out for the Wolverines. Last week at Wisconsin, 2,500 students signed their names to'petitions asking for Michi- gan's return. At Minnesota, the de- mand is as keen, and the same condi- tion prevails at Illinois. Admitting that the boycott against a like school-boy behavior on both sides, in which case, Michigan has an oppor- tunity to take the right course. If the Conference representatives are correct in their theories, the real difficulty lies in the method of control at Michigan. Of all the schools in the West, Michigan's board looks the best from the point of representation. In all the western schools, the board of re- gents or the trustees, as the case may be, is the court of last resort, with power to over-rule anything. Michigan hasn't a middle court, which is the point of difference between the sys- tem here and Conference schools. A possible way to effect the necessary change in the control to make it con- fer to the Conference rule, would be to give the university senate the pow- er of veto, as at Minnesota, a power which it probably does not desire, with the representation it now has on the present governing board in athlet- ics. In regard to this latter board as the body of legislation for Michi- gan's athletics, it is superior in its balance of representation to the boards of most of the Conference col- w BEST University Bookstore CLUB PRICES (WHY NOT HAVE YOUR MICHIGANENSIAN PICTURE now so that you can have some of r Platinum Portraits made from the negative-your friends at home will appreciate them for X'mas.

LUNCHES, FINE CANDI ES place that's neat and clean We are here to serve you Chicago meeting last Saturday, the real issue that is to be fought out, concerns the contribution made by the Michigan athletic association to the support of the training table. Michigan can look for little sympathy from the student bodies at these schools toward the partial support given the table here. THE PROBLEM, THEN, FROM THE STUDENT STAND-POINT IS TO SOLVE THE TRAINING CONDI- TIONS AT MICHIGAN IN A WAY THAT WILL BE AS EFFECTIVE AS IT WILL BE ABOVE REPROACH, OR WESTERN COMPETITION FOR MICHIGAN WILL BE AN IMPOSSI- BILITY. THEATRICAL CIRCLES. African Hunt Tonight. The motion pictures of Paul J. Rai- ney's African Hunt, which will be shown at theWhitney theater tonight and tomorrow night, are said to pro- vide two solid hours of fun, excitement and education. It is said by every- body who saw these marvelous pic- tures in New York, Philadelphia, Bos- ton, or Chicago, where they were shown all summer, that they fulfill their announced mission to a most sat- isfying degree. .- "The Divorce Question." "The Divorce Question" by William Anthony McGuire, a powerfully writ- ten play, taking the stand of the Cath- olic church's opposition to divorce and proving conclusively that divorce does not obtain the conditions sought for and emphasizes the parents duty to the children. This strikingly original play will be seen at the Whitney the- ater on Thursday, December 5, under the direction of Rowland and Clifford. I GRINNELL B'ROS. 120-122 East Liberty St. ---. ....

Michigan is, in a sense, unjust, it is to be 'questioned whether it will ever be lifted and certainly not in the im- mediate future. The Conference nev- er was stronger than it is right now, and any anticipation of a probable break-up should not be longer coun- tenanced. If Michigan is to resume re- lations with the West, an affiliation with the Conference will have to be ef- fected. The Conference was never more so- licitous of Michigan's return than at this moment. Perhaps, the "Big Nine" representatives have acted like a lot of school-boys in not officially inviting Michigan to their last session. But Michigan could have attended this meeting, if she had officially announc- ed a desire to be heard. In view of the position taken by Michigan last year in regardto the Conference, it is as much up to Michigan to ask for a representation to talk matters over, as it is for the Conference to invite Mich- igan to send a representation.
