While the benefits of .the news serv- lationships formed by the plan will ac- rery college which can boast of a publi- University will be expected to take the. ise of its size, and because of -the supe- in and equipment which it is the. Daily's me to possess. a of. the new association is threefold: to :er relationships between nearly 30'publi- the state, including exchange of informa- iff organization and efficiency; to aid- the embers in securing news- Items from the olleges; and to send college news to met- ticularly in view of the present undergraduate haz- in"s on other colleges of Michigan. It would do us no harm to find out that M.- A. C. is much more than a "cow college ;" to learn the real ratings of the normal schools of Michigan; and to find out some interesting facts regarding its wonderful school of mines. On the whole, the scheme is one of reciprocal advertising which will make for a greater friendship. The University should gain greatly by it, especially because of its position of leadership. f Lastly, more reliable news service to the city pub- lieations would be a great relief, and would do much to avert "ouija board" canards in the future. And a general raising and professionalizing of college journalistic standards should result inevitably from the exchange of ideas and methods. A SINGLE STANDARD OF ELIGIBILITY At present, the eligibility committee of the Board in Control of Stndent Athletics enforces one set of rules for athletes, while a similar body of the Stu- dent Affairs committee administers a different, code of rules for students who desire to take part in non- athletie activities. Why not, at a single stroke, simplify the eligi- bility rules by combining them in a single code, at the saMe time adding efficieney to their adminis- tration- by uniting the two committees in one Uni- versity eligibility committee? In addition to simplifying rules and enforcement, the plan of combination would have this important result: everyone wopld be convinced that we were making no special discriminations in favor of our Sathletes. The very' existence of a separate athletic committee and code, tended to set up unfortunate suspicions, though they really had no ground, in- asmuch as the two sets of rules average up about equally in strictness. Neither the Student Affairs committee nor the Board in Control of Athletics would lose in power by the change. Each would be fully represented on the new committee, whose members would be sub- ject to the original instructions of the parent bodies. Nowhere would the ironing out- of dissimilari- ties in the two codes conflict with conference rules. The' principal differences to be compromised are thfee ini nuimber: - . (i' At present the athletic rules require that a man shall. have as many honor points as hours credit; the non-athletic rules, that he shall pass one semester with grades of C or above. (a}).if a man who has been- on the warned list makes more, points than hours but still has a D, he .s eligible for athletic, but not for non'-athletic ac- tivities. (3) An E bars a man for an entire year from athletics, but for only a semester in non-athletic activities. It is obvious that this clash in a few minor points could easily be straightened out, and'a common code set up for enforcement by the suggested committee. sNo,larice, a man whoeloafs while going to school is not always college bred.- Dear Noah. - Our cashier recently absconded with $iooo. To what account should i charge this money? Bookkeeper. Ignorancep like this is indeed pitiful. Even the office boy could 'tell- you that you ought to charge this money to running -expenses. So many of our-mele readers have written us such touching letters asking-that we continue our course that we have decided to give LESSON IV On "How to Be Vitty Tho' in Love" In these days of spiritualism and other isms per- taining to. the hereafte, the man who is unable to discourse learnedly (especially from personal ex- perience) on this subject is liable to find himself relegated to the class of social nonentities, Ac- cordingly when the, conversation has been turned in this channel- you suddenly electrify those present by remarking in a tone which-you try hard to make casual, "This disappearance of spirits is something I have been well acquainted with since my earliest youth." When the gasp of astonishment has subsided you proceed to elucidate to your spellbound listeners. A reminiscent tone (the' kind the boys use when re- ferring. to the Orient and the "good old days") will be found to be very effective. Accordingly you say, "Why, I remember distinctly once the teacher asked me the following problem,.-'If your father had three barrels of whiskey in his cellar each con- taining 50 gallons and he drank a quart a day how long would the whiskey last?' Unhesitatingly I re- plied, "Three months." The teacher looked rather severely at me and said, "My boy, I see you don't know arithmetic." And then in my childish, naive way I replied, "Yes, and you don't know my father." Your reputation is thereupon established as the life of the party, and from thence on you may be reasonably sure that every remark you make whether pertaining to the weather or trying to break the, news to the widow will be misconstrued as in- tended to be laugh-evoking.

Today's question: "Do you think Michigan -should provide dormitories for the men studentsl" Curtis E. Bottum, '20E, Student councilman: "Without doubt this is a. coming thing for Michigan, though I doubt if the time is ripe.Forfresh- men it will be the real thing, though- I doubt if it would he advisable for upperclassmen." Alan F. King, '20E, business' mana- ger of the Student Directory: " I think dormitories are absolutely nec- essary for 'freshAlen, as . they need considerable supervision. In due time Michigan will undoubtedly pro- vide- these dormitories for first year men.' Henry Whiting, '21, Student coun- cilman: "I do not think dormitories for men students would be practical for Michigan. The present 'system is of too long standing to be changed. For a younger university this plan would be more practical." Joseph, A. Avery, '21, president of the Comedy club: "Asta means of relieving conge'stion in the matter of rooms for students and supplying' comfortable living accommodations at reasonable prices, I believe a well administrated men's dormitory would be a great help."

We indorse the effort of labor to share in the management of industry, and labor's right to organ- ize and bargain collectively through representatives of its, own choosing. OUR AIMS The present purpose of our. work is to arouse popular discussion. Our program is tentative. The delegates to the Conference of the Committee, of Forty-eight found they could unanimously agree upon this program. But they also .agreed to submit this pro- grain to the American people for discussion, in the hope that popular discussion may create a de- mand for the adoption of even a better program at the political convention attended by the represen- tative delegates which will be held prior to July 1st next. The convention will be free to change or modify our program, according to the will of the delegates. ee MISS MELINDA ALEXANDER, of Montana, an outstanding figure at our St. Louis Convention, and now National Secretary at Chicago, will . address an open meeting on THE LIBERAL MOVEMENT LANE HALL, Friday, March 12, 4:15 P.
