In the first place, University men will have to put up a good fight for positions on the state team, as a number of old' 'national guard cracks, some of whom made excellent records oil the state team last year, will without a doubt com- pete again. The greater the field, the better the choice; and the University should have all its best men out for the preliminaries. "THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS" When. the graduate pays a visit to his universi, lights up his pipe and harks back to "the good old days," the college man of today, filled with stories of the things 'we used to do," is apt to feel that he is being cheated out of something-that his collego life is a lifeless, inane thing in comparison to that lived by the student of a few years ago. He hears of theater rushings, great football 'celebrations, and kindred sports and wishes that he had been fortu- nate enough to have graduated from high school a decade sooner. Was life really any happier then than it is to- day? Any event takes on an added glamour after years of retrospection. If we will be honest with Qurselves we will admit that a number of events in our own lives have been elevated above the com- monplace in our estimation through constant remin- iscence. This is what has happened to the graduate. While going through the routine of daily work and pleas- ures he was not conscious of any extreme happi- ness which would surpass that of future genera- tions. Life was to him what ours is to us today, and he took away with him the pictures of this life. Returning in later years and seeing an un- familiar set of students doing things differently, he recalls the glorified version of his own under-grad- uate days and concludes that 'his colleagues had a far better time than we are having. Our own experiences are the most vivid to us. Undoubtedly we, too, will think that we were far better off than the generations succeeding us. We should realize this when we hear the old Michigan man tell of the ideal days of his college life, rather than bemoan the fact that we could not have lived earlier to enjoy his times. The Telescoe The infinite pathos of the following will }e ap- preciated by any one who has had the same tragic experience with his brand new derby. Ah, she was a giddy charmer, On this make no mistake, And she vowed a deep impression On susceptive me she'd make.

A CRUSADER AGAINST "DRY ROT" President-Elect Marion Leroy Burton inspired every progressive Michigan man and woman with his recent speeh at Minneapolis in which he served formal notice of his future policy with the words, 'Dry rot' in our educational institutions must go." In emphasizing that the education he stood for must be a dynamic process of preparing students to meet and solve real problems in a real world, our coming executive struck directly at the heart of a certain still-lingering attitude in University com- munities everywhere. This is the "know-noth- ing" indifference of the average discussion group, whether in fraternity, sorority, or dorm, toward any problem outside of a narrow University sphere. The student bodies of American universities, Dr. Burton ,declares, must be aroused to the responsi- bilities of the, day. . President-Elect Burton's methods of going at his ideal are very practicable; he asks, first, that in- terest be so stirred up in topics of national impor- tance as to cut out ,the ridicule which ordinarily keeps them out of conversation; second, that uni- versities be made what their name truly implies, by cutting out such work as should really be accom- plished in high schools and junior colleges; and fin- ally, that the vice of superficiality which has eaten deep into the American educational system be struck out of it forever, and a standard of hard work and thorough thinking substituted in its place. The ideals which our future president puts forth are wortjhy of the good opinion which the Univer- sity has formed of him; and in giving them life and power he may be assured of the support of an awakening Michigan, which cares no more for "dry rot" than he. A CALL FOR THE DEAD SHOTS Whether Boches, .ducks, or range targets have been his game, the average man who has fired a rifle acquires an interest in shooting and likes to keep his hand in. The numerous ranges which ex- isted all over the country even before the war prove the universal appeal of the sport, which naturally has been given a tremendous impetus by military training. The ranks of the crack shots have been filled by innumerable sharpshooters and medalists who had never pulled trigger before the war; and the win- ning of national honors is no longer going to be a closed affair between the old established clubs. Serv- ice teams carried off all the donors at the Caldwell meet last summer; and with demobilization the chances are that squads made up largely of ex-serv- ice men will be the strorngest bidders at Camp Perry from July 31 to August 28 this year. The Univer- sity Rifle club, which organized for preliminary work Friday night, is fortunate in having a large field of just this sort 6f material to draw from. If Michigan is to rank high in national rifle standing, however, her crack shots will have to come out loyally and get in 'allpossible practice be- AN EXCLUSIVE BOOTH OurA TTESpecial" A LITTLE CHATr I 4 TEACHERS Do you want to secure the Best Position and the "High Dol- lar" in salary next year?

In order to satisfy the insatiable demand of the public for literature in the truest sense of the word, we have prevailed upon the celebrated author, Izee Manordog, to allow us the privilege of reprinting his latest story, "Diana's Crucible," the story of a woman who loved her own husband. I The short swells of the bay shimmied ragged streaks of orange from lights in the harbor. The sweet stench of the Orient hung smellingly in the hot air of the Far East summer night, and from the crooked street came the subdued bl immering of the water front. On the far end of the piazza of the "Caraumba" sat a man and woman in steamer chairs. Presently he spoke. II "Diana," he said, his voice low yet clearly audi- ble, "everyone thinks that I am different--that I can do what others cannot. Foolishly I thought that I could play with fire and not be burnt. But now I know that I was wrong; we cannot leave these things behind us'-they haunt us to our graves. This thing will leave its ineffacable, in- eradicable scar on you. In a mazi it can be forgiven but you are a woman and it is always the woman who pays. Think, wxhat: would your husband say ?" She made a tired little motion with her beauti- ful hands and then said unemotionally, "He knows." "He knows?" echoed the man in an incredulous, strained voice. And then in a tone of mingled triumph and reproach, "If he knows why does he allow you to go on with this ?" The woman gazed with unconcealed contempt at the man who seemed powerless in the grip of an overpowering fear. Then she continued in the same unemotional tone, "He not only knows, but he agrees with you." "HIe agrees with you?" he shrieked in a high pitched frenzied voice. "Yes," she replied, "'he agrees with me in think- ing that one can shave the eyebrows and still not have bristles." J. W. K.
