Parker carrying on the impetus which that war afforded towards the perfection of the science of aviation. The appropriation set aside by Secretary Weeks of more than two millions of dollars for the pur- pose of air development has met with the approval and encouragement of the press which voices the anxiety of the American people lest we be outdis- tanced by our European neighbors in a field which has such potentialities in peace as well as in war. It would indeed be regrettable should the nation which gave the heavier-than-air machine to the world continue to resign the development and 'ben- efits of that invention to other countries. Amrican ingenuity and inventive genius have proved them- selves in so many directions that their energies if turned towards the sky, would in all probability achieve a success paralleling or surpassing that of other great powers. But to accomplish such a program, money is needed, money in much more liberal sulms than has recently been granted. Let us hope that the action of Secretary Weeks is the initial urge of an ardent future activity in this field. LIBRARY READING LISTS To those students who are desirous of improving their knowledge of literature by the route of gen- eral reading and vet to whom the method of select- ing proper material is a rater vague problem, the lists posted this year on the bulletin board of the general library should have proved a boon. "Thirty- six books called worth while", compiled by the New York Public library, lists of short stories, of plays, and of works of a more serious or sometimes lighter nature, have been placed before us from time to time, and the officials are to be commended for their thoughtfulness. It is to be feared, however, that these posted com- pilations are often overlooked in our hurry to and from the reading room. Accordingly, the sugges- tion has presented itself that, from a literary stand- point, the students might be served even more ef- fectually if printed lists of books, books which com- bine interest with real literary worth, were to be placed on sale at cost for the benefit of those who realize and appreciate their own need for guidance in the matter of choosing the right kind of reading matter. The preparation of such pamphlets should not present much difficulty to the library; yet as a guide for the serious-minded reader, such booklets would no doubt prove of inestimable worth in helping him to select, for his own consumption, the highest type of interesting literature which the stacks afford. The furnishing of photographs of candidates along with the ballots in campus elections should sometimes be of help to those voters whose memory for names is short; yet even a moderately good im- agination should have little difficulty in guessing what was running through the minds of the throngs - of female voters who, while sizing up the like- nesses of their sister students, succeeded in thor- oughly blockading the traffic yesterday in the cor- ridor of University hall T"he Telescoe e No, Clarice, you're wrong when you say that your escort sings first base on the ball team.

Night Editor-R. E. ADAMS, JR. MICHIGAN SPIRIT NEXT YEAR This is the first of a Wednesday-and-Saturday series of editorials aiming to get the campus started right next fall. The letdown in spirit has been all top obvious this year: in the poor attendance at class meetings, the occasional hissing and catcalling at games, the failure to observe traditions, the ten- dency to cry a cynical "fie!" at all that would make the individual forget himself in the interest pre- sering and adding to that energetic loyalty which should distinguish Michigan's undergraduate body. Let's get started now on a new era. i. TmE INDIVIDUAL Michigan is honored by the presence of many types of students,. and afflicted by two: the cynic and the drone. The campus cynic is the child graybeard who has, in his own estimate, seen all things, measured their value by experience, and judged them universally useless. He enjoys seeing the damned fools work- ing to get out inane publications, attending senseless gatherings, yelling their lungs out, obeying tradi- tions. He watches his benighted fellows with the same superciliously amused complacency with which the average mortal would follow the antics of a cage of monkeys. Everything is unnecessary, in his eyes, except what he himself is doing. The cynic would be an interesting exhibit to keep, if we could only embalm him in a museum. But he is always tearing loose and throwing sand in the motor. He is the senior who is eternally laughing or sneering at the freshmen in his rooming house whO are trying to live up to traditions or get out for activities. He is the "experienced man" who persists in pointing out the amateurish, nature of campus drama and journalism; who joins a so- ciety, - accepts the responsibilities of membership, and then conveniently forgets them on meeting nights, passing on with biting irony his opinion of the workers. He is the campus' worst pest and par- e site. The drone is not so bad. At least he is not so crude as to refuse credit to others. He is simply a let-George-do-it de luxe, a consistent passer of the buck. He is glad somebody will work; he ad- mits things ought to be done; but he always chooses to be a bystander. He wouldn't matter if there were only one of him. But figures prove he is the major- ity. He is the athlete who doesn't come out, the artist who doesn't draw, the studious avoider of campus ballots. Michigan spirit starts with the individual's atti- tude. The cynic needs worst to have somebody laugh at him, hard and heartily; the drone ought to have a good dose of tonic from a friend who is expert in the noble art of razz. Above all, next year's freshmen must be taught to take neither the drone nor the cynic seriously. MORE AVIATION ACTIVITY. The early awakening of the present administra- tion at Washington to the necessity of an efficient aviation force, both on land and sea, is a source of great relief to those who since the close of a war in which flying showed its immense possibilities, have viewed with increasing impatience and dis- appointment the lethargy of the United States in 1921 APRIL 1921 S.
