Graham, inl yesterday's issue, of The Daily, asks some very perti- nent questions regarding ethical ad- vertising. In the first place adver- tising is absolutely essential to the ex- istence of this palter. This is hardly surprising in view of the fact that practically every other periodical is in the same boat. [is second point is that The Daily should refuse billiard ball advertis- ing because a state law closes such places to minors. He contends that to carry such advertising shows a lack o[ respect for the law, a lack ot consideration for minors and a lack of regardl for other students. who do not desire to see The Daily's columns so used. Pressed to itg log;ical coneluson his argument is that The IDaily consti- tute itself the guardian of minors by teaching them respect for the law, and keeping them out of billiard halls, Tlfe first is too big a p~ropositionl for us to handle and the second we are inclined to take issue on. Billiard halls in Ann Arbor are not the dens of- iniquity that they are giv- en credit for. The game itself, is es- sentially that of a'gentleman? It is the environment that has always come in for the adverse criticism. In A.nn Arbor's billiard lparlors we as- sociate with the samne men that we meet ini class and at smokers and dances. Evidently then it is not the comnpany to which. Graham objects. All that remnais then is the reguila- tion of the hall itself. In these places ,gambling and drinking are prohibited. There are plenty of places in towNn where this sort of en- tertainment can be secured, but we neither solicit nor; run the advertis- ing relating to them.. One of the billiard~ halls on State street is' a part of Michigan's his- tory. More nien congregate there to exchange views and get first hantd information on camnpus questions thani go there to play pool or billiards. It is the clearing house for news. Many a m.anl drops in every day merely to keep in touch with things. It is an institution for good and not harmn. Merely because it is the house of a game that has been frequently linkec' with "blind pigs" and gambling, is that any reason why we shold fool=- on it with disfavor? (Daily Maroon) Four hundred and fifty college foot- ball teams competed last autumn, ac- cording to a report issued fromt an au- thenstic source. We may estimate con- servatively, then, that approximately seven thousand undergraduate menl participated in the gridiron sport. over half a million men attend (0- lege; of the nation's total malc popu-{ lation, less than one out of each hun- red is enrolled in a higher educational institution. Likewise, we may stae that nonnore than one out ol one hun- dred college men plays on the Varsity eleven. ould the position of sorts in American colleges be set forth more clearly than by 'these figures? While one student is accorded an extreme, in- temperate eamount of exercise, the ma- jority of ninety-nine others are re- ceiving an inadequate degree of phy- sical culture. We quote Dr. William T. Foster, the president of Reed Col- lege, whose "Indictment of Intercolle- giate :Athletics" in the Atlantic Mont- ly evoked frenzied but unsuccessful counter attacks from esteemed, con- temporary college editors. In the light of the foregoing statistics, Dr. )Foster' statement is particularly applicable: "Intercollegiate athletics provide a costly, injurious and exessive reghme for a few students, especially those who need it least, instead o inepen- live, healthful aI moderate exercise for all students, especially those who need it nmost." !FOREINERS OFENDED DR1.

The Michigan Daily: The eleventh hour action o the eli- gibility committee did not in any way interfere with the (Cosmopoltan pa- geant, La Revue tes Nations. L~t it is a remarkable fact that a prdnion" which has been. supported by t h presi- dent, the deaus of the various depart-1 ment s, and~ all t h prominient ij gures of the (ampus, has in some way or other bien tramped upon by the said onnnit h e, simply beca as' o its power. It sem-; to me that the co- mittee didt not ncrstad tuat Mr. Ach, '17 L who was reusei permis- sion to take part in that prd( aton, was quite eligible for an anips ac- tivity in tw fe rt seester. iF? is on probation this semester, which beg;an on February 14. but the Revue has1 been under way sice last Dcc emer.

' ron the beginning oft 1 h second semester until ?March 7, ,the eligibility committee had licittlhCti t im to investigate andl inform tie H.CV1n commrittee about Mrll. Aci. All t= e members of said tcomittee are r:- qa ited with the foreign stidents' advisory h!oard and also the Cos- l iuoplitan club. The miembers very well knew that the produtoit v- ~o be held. Then why didn't they inform one o thenm of the inligiiliy of the particular student? It is very difficult to understand tlii; act ion of the eligibility committee; it is qtuite clear that it has hurt the feel- iugs of the foreign students. The for- eign students at the university have been striving hard, and the reult of their struggles for yars is exenpi-' nied in tue Revue, andl it is at a time like this tt tey sould receive tiic O O UOt4 B SHOES willdlm A !. 4+_ ( :;5. .
