THE LITTLE THINGS

Two men met the other day and
were introduced. The next time they
chanced to pass on the Hill each
waited for the other to speak. They
have forgotten each' other by now, yet
they would both have been better off
had they continued the acquaintance
so well started. It's the little things
that count!

Editor, The Michigan Daily
Allow me to make a few comments
on the Gargoyle's editorial on women.
Let me say very emphatically that
the women of Michigan are taking an
active part in the various athletic
events, and in campus clubs, enter-
tainments, and the like. However.
they have not been welcomed with
open arms when they have entered
campus activities, as was shown by
the reception of the Girls' Glee club
at two of the Band Bounces. The ac-
tion of the boys at tl ose times was
discourteous to put it mildly, and
not encouraging for further at-
tempts. Someone may say that their
selections were tedious, but what shall
we say of many of the skits which
have been forced upon the students
in those and like performances?
Again, at the, mass meetings, all sorts
of slurring remarks were made as to
their presence there, but when they
demonstrated that they were deter-
mined to be there regardless, and
were there to help, The Daily mag-
nianilnously commended them for
their spirit. Has The Daily forgotten
that fact, or did another editor write
it?
The Daily wishes to have the sup-
port of the women; in fact it has even
requested them to edit the Pit-quite
an honor I should say, and a depart-
ment in which they can certainly give
the campus the "women's view-point"
and keep The Daily from becoming
"one-sided and not truly represent-
ative."
The professed reason for the edi-
torial, "Michigan Women," was "to
make women think." While the editor
was no doubt actuated by the most
altruistic motives, still that is not his
business. I believe it would be a
good plan if the Gargoyle would tend
strictly to its purpose, viz., to put out
a humor (?) magazine (and one full of
advertisements) and not encroach
upon the field of the Atlantic Monthly.
Finally, I would call attention to
the gross insults heaped upon the
women of this university by the Gar-
goyle: "The most prominent men on
the campus have been noted for not
going out regularly to call on unk-
versity women." Reason: (1) The
women don't want them because gen-
tlemanliness and prominence do not
seem to go hand in hand. (2) These
men 'prefer' to call on the elite Ypsi
since they are supposed to be far
higher socially than Michigan women
Furthermore, "the silly nose in the
air demeanor is not only sickening but
harmful"-does the editor of the Gar-
goyle and men of his stamp feel quali-
fied to cast the first stone? If sucih
be the case, let me refer him to his
statement that "still others have chos-
en to sneer at them" (the other sex).

ROSS GRANGER DENIES THE
CHARGES MADE IN ARTICLE IN
THE DAILY.
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
The following, relative to revision
of charter, appeared in The Michigan
Daily, Thursday, March 30, 1916, and
in fairness to all concerned I re-
spectfully ask that this statement be
given space in your paper.
"The Civic association, in backing
up the city manager plan, is pointing
to the present inefficiency of city man-
agement, and is declaring that the
joining of all department eads into
one body and underone direct man-
agement will mean both administrative
and financial gain. Especially does
it criticize the purchasing deartment
of the city, saying that the city cler
who alone does the buying, does not
take advantage of discounts and of
wholesale rates. Upon a recent con-
tract let by the city for some cement
work, there could have been a saving
of over $200.00 if the bill, which the
city clerk authorized, did not have to
pass through the hands of the finance
committee, the common council, and
back to the finance committee again."
This statement is absolutely false
and is a fair sample of the accurecy
of the statements i ade in behalf of a
revisios of the -harter. [,hy, the en-
tire amount aid r cemet. purchased
by the city last year was -)nly $340
therefore any cash discow-t that could
possibly be obtained would not
amount to ovcr $19.67, and that only
if we had a so-called "Yellow-Dg"
fund, which we certainly do not main-
tain. The Bard of Public Works a-
ways asks for bids on cement or any-
thing else used in large quantities.
There were12 bids on last season's
supply of cement. All contracts en-
tered into by the Board of Public
Works, which is composed of seven
representative citizens, must receive
the approval of the Common Council,
which is composed of 15 representa-
tive citizens. It would certainly be
harder to corrupt bodies of this kind
than a commission of five, where three
would be a majority and could easily
be elected by a few politicians. Under
our present system every expenditure
and every transaction is published in
the Ann Arbor Times News.
Professor R. T. Crane of the univer-
sity, who is writing the articles pub-
lished in the Times News over the
name of Ottmar Eberbach, chairman
>f the Civic Association Committee, was
in my office about sx weeks ago and
talked to me on the manage' commis-
sion form of government. Just before
leaving he said: "Mr. Granger, I have
told you the good things about the
manager form of government and some
time I will come in and tell you the
bad things about it." He has not done
so as yet.
Professor Crane, together with some
members of the Civic Association, has
been devoting a great deal of time
in trying to make Ann Arbor give up
a good working form of government
and take a chance on something new.
I know that some of the men advocat-
ing a change do not know the differ-
ence between a section of the charter
and an ordinance. Our present char-
ter can be made perfect by very few
amendments. No graft or corruption
exists in the city government, the fi-
nances are in excellent condition and
improvements are being made as fast
as the money we can legally raise
will allow. If the proposed charter
is adopted and they do things they
intimate will be done under the Mana-
ger Commission form of government,
it is my opinion that after the first
year double the amount of money now
used will be necessary to run the city.
You cannot in fairness compare Ann

Arbor with Dayton or any of the
cities that are trying out the different
forms of government. Ann Arbor does
not need a revision of the charter. I
am speaking from 12 years' experience
in the city clerk's office.

I believe that a little old-fashioned
courtesy and decency on the part of
the "most prominent men" and their
imitators, together with an honest
recognition of the fact that women are
playing their part on the ca npus,
would do much to bring about better
feeling between the sexes and make
forever impossible such an outrage as
the Gargoyle's editorial, "Michigan
Women."
