ARMSTRONG KERN FACTS ON THE CANDIDATES day's supplement contains the list and mdi- Li records of the nominees for campus offices voted upon at Wednesday's election. It is the ess of'every student to read through the data ery mhan he is to consider in making his choice e polls. I'here is only one fair ground for picking a to serve in a responsible student office: that of -ience, actual proof of ability. The activities ds after the names in the supplemept give some nable basis for judgment. Popularity with- >roved qualifications is not a fair reason for ig an (X) after a candidate's name. Such a puts a premium oi the gladhand system rather hard work and merit. It may be pleasant for opular man, but it is bad for the student activi- vhich have to suffer by it. ad the supplement record; inquire about the dates; and then vote right - from a Michigan, personal standpoint. REMEMBERING MOTHER ce each year a special day has been set as a when Mothers throughout the land are to be nbered, and their memories revered. Today een selected this year for Mothers' day, and urged that everyone's mother be remembered e wearing of flowers. athers' day is one of those few occasions dur- he year which are aimed to make us just, a lit- tter and to bring s just a little nearer to the iation of what mother has done for each one - of the sacrifices she has made and of the and the devotion which she bears for us. It is r for reflection, when we may stop for a mo- , at least, and instill into our hearts the es- :'of the spirit in which the day is meant. o often in the heydey of our college pleasure, re prone to forget the love of those at home. frequently our thoughts turn carelessly away the task of letter-writing and we let slip the rtunity for making someone's heart just a little er because we have remembered. It is such a effort for the pleasure which it means to some- lse - the altruism is so cheaply bought - so make this a one hundred per cent Mothers' a day of resolution to keep her even closer in wearts and in our actions. FOR MEN AND MAGAZINES ery Sedgwick, editor of the Atlantic Monthly, editing is an art, and its product a work of the magazine has a need out of which it is ; it is a living, vital thing, with qualities and s" like a human being; it is read and combated reed with, appreciated or disliked, as is a man; times it must be itself, as a man must be if to make any impress; and it dies, like any living thing, on its appointed day and when [ace and need for it have passed. me of those who heard Mr. Sedgwick very ally turned his talk in upon themselves and i to wonder whether men - not to speak of zines live up to this idea of the proer place of a human being. How many of us feel that we ought to have a genuine mission in life, and strive to fulfill it? How many try to acquire that character, that individuality, which men- and pub- lications - ought to have? How many refuse to be other than themselves? The world is too full of copyists whose character is not well enough devel- oped, or whose faith in themselves has not been sufficiently reasoned into existence, to let them stand alone - original contributors, whether right or wrong, to the world's thought and action. Too few of us are Emersons, just as too few magazines are Atlantics in this quality. "Be ourselves" is as good a motto for all men as "Be a living, vital thing" would be as a phrase to set forth the goal of a good magazine. THE POOR PRESENT It is characteristic of folks human to worship the past, usually at the expense of the present. In retrospect blemishes and defects fade out beneath the dominant light of pleasant experiences, of ro- mantic existence, and of individual accomplish- ments. While today may seem drab because of the tedious details of life, still in the future when memory has shed the harshness of its lines, faults and disadvantages are forgotten in an overwhelm- ing desire to return to the remembered "good" of the "good old days". This is the nature of mhan, and it is evident that the average alumnus is only human. The student body of Michigan reveres its past and honors its traditions. It also cherishes the present, possibly above all else. Therefore an af- front to our loyalty is offered each time, and it is often, that the present is deploringly compared to the past, the former suffering' intensely by one- sided comparison. An example of this is the long- ing, recently expressed in a poetic manner by Grantland Rice, for the Michigan of old with her Heston and numerous other celebrities and quali- ties' We of today are confident that our University is as fine now, if not finer, than in previous years; we are conceited enough to feel that the capacities of t-hepresent student body are as great as those of the men who preceded us; we are sufficiently loyal to believe that Michigan is progressing rather than -retrogressing Fidelity to their Alma Mater is a worthy and re- spected quality in Michigan graduates ; but must the satisfactory present suffer in order better to set off a brilliant past? Let this be the requiem of the editor of the 1920-1921 Telescope, whose last last line as "Noah Count" is printed below: he stood by his' guns of principle to the end. Saturday afternoon at the crucial point in the ball game, he was seen to sweep off his cap in an angry gesture, turn in disgust to the others in the press stand, and exclaim: "Lord! Look at those poor goofs letting co-eds drag 'em away when it's six all in the seventh!" Edwin R. Meiss succeeds Mr. Kelly today at the lens of Telescope. Don't take to a shortcut because there is a path. Stick to the walks and the path will be raked over and planted. T"heTelescopbe Our Swan Song They noted those features gaunt and gray, They marked that face devoid of hope; All marvelled much until they learned He used to run the Telescope.

The above lit- tle meterless couplet represents a futile attempt to explain just how much this parting has affected us. Only those who haye known the depths of a fa- ther's love can appreciate what this parting for- ever frdm our brain child means to us. Our grief is accentuated when we reflect that it means the breaking off of the intimate spirit of friendship and co-operation which has always ex- isted between us and the fewer though frailer sex on this campus. We feel assured that they have under- stood from the beginning the spirit behind the gibes at their expense ; that their girlish intuition has told them that any Pythian darts we may have aimed at them have never been tipped with the ar- rowhead of personal venom. We hope that our readers will give our successor the same co-operation as they have in the past in the matter of contributions, and we join with them in wishing him bon voyage as he embarks on his journalistic journey.
