Last year the means em- ployed to raise the Union's pledge failed to obtain the full amount. The need for the bureau is as great as ever. To meet this demand a spot- light vaudeville is planned for Feb. 28 and the tryouts are tonight. Every bit of talent in the male student body should be out for it and the audience should resemble Convocation. Then in a few weeks tryouts will begin for the Michigan opera, one of the biggest undertakings of the Uni- versity year, with a national reputa- tion as the college opera par excell- ence. The spotlight vaudeville is, in a sense, a grand tryout for the opera, for most of the talent in college this year has so far been hidden under a fbushel. Union activities give men a chance to serve the University and themselv- es, working with and for Michigan men. "An orderly crowd" burned a man at the stake in Texas.

Issue Editor-Philip Ringer BACK THE UNION Under ordinary circumstances there is no need for talking to Michigan men of either the accomplishments or the purposes of the Michigan Union nor of the fact that it deserves un- qualified, consistent, and hearty sup- port from every man in the Univer- sity. .But just now there are great numbers of new men in school who because of war conditions have not been thoroughly grounded in the course called "What Every Michigan Man Knows." There is also a very considerable group of men returning from the service who are perhaps out of touch with the Union of the present day and possess only a hazy notion of its history during the past two years. One of the illusions concerning the Union which is prevalent among form- er )3, A. T. C. men particularly is the notion that the Union profited by its government contract for the army mess. The fact of the matter is that thef Union is right now waiting to find out whether the government will reimburse the organization for money expended, without which reimburse- ment the Union has sutained a con- siderable loss. The 47 cents a day per man allowed by the government for food was no more than was absolutely necessary. The amount allowed for the incidentals of help, equipment, and fuel was below the actual expenditure. That the Union mess was below army standard was due to the fact that army cooks, capable of providing meals within the amount allowed, were serv- ing with regular branches of the army. The best mess possible under war con- ditions of food prices and labor scar- city was provided. Another student hallucination fre- quently observed is that the Union with its outward evidences of a mag- nificient new building and strong organization must be remarkably rich, an institution whose functions is prob- aly to bestow benefits upon the stu- dent without requiring anything more than gratitude in return. On the con- trary, the Union -has no great endow- ment other than the enthusiasm and good will of thousands of alumni and students. Within the past five years it has brought the audacious dream of lovers of Michigan democracy to real- ity, assuming as it did so, staggering obligations which it will take time and straining effort to fulfill. It is esti- mated that the cost of running the building will be at least $70,000 a year. In spite of this burden, it has been decided to complete the building by fall. The Union, like most Michigan products, doesn't start things it can't finish; but in maintaining that spirit is has assumed that Michigan stu- dents and alumni are also imbued with it. Aside from the building, the Union has pledged funds to support the Am- erican University Union in Paris. Other University institutions, among them the publications, also pledged support to this project; it is not an The king market, which has steadily declining of late, has completely broken by Manuel. been been If as many freshmen attend the frosh frolic as are on the committee, it will be a large party.

The love}of sport was demonstrated at the Michigan- Indiana game, but the keen sense of sportsmanship was not. During the first half, Michigan led most of the way. The crowd cheer- ed frantically when a Michigan man pulled off a spectacular play and ap- plauded the visitors under like cir- curhstances. In the second half with the score reversed, the spectators' ap- 'plause for Indiana's good playing was noticeably absent. That is comprehen- sible; we all hate to lose, but the fact that the rooters hooted the referee (the best one, by the way, that has officiated on the floor this year) for calling fouls which beyond doubt were committed, is absolutely inde- fensible from the standpoint of a good sport, who should take a beating with- out whimpering, when administered according to the rules of the game. In the end Michigan came back, but the victory, clean as it undoubtedly was on the team's part, left a bitter taste because of the unsportsmanlike attitude of the Michigan rootera. Can we afford to lay ourselves open' to just criticism in this way? If we can't, why not drop this attitude in the future and be good sports whether our team leads or not? A MICHIGAN MAN. A Pied'Galley When you've been losing steadily and it's steadily growing later as it has a habit of doing these evenings- and the poor wad who always forgets to ante, decides to show his non- chalance and good will by bleating something which in its adolescent stage of popularity sounds something like this: "Mary, Mary, you're ta da da da da. But when I look into your roughish eyes Ta da da da da da Paradise Mary, Mary, hum hum huh huh hum Mary, Mary, ta de da da da You're knock-kneed and you're lazy You're cross-eyed and you're crazy But you're MAY-REE ta da de da." Well, wouldn't it make you long for some stronger expression than "Good- ness gracious? Judging from his pen, I would say Lieutenant Libonati was well liked by his men.
