KNOW YOUR UNIVERSITY According to the mast recent count, there are 49,o43 living former students of the University. Since Michigan has been in existence 36,oo2 stu- dents have been given diplomas and 29,086 of these are living at the present time. The alumni have given to the University alhost four million dollars in donations. THE LIFE MEMBERSHIP DRIVE The Union drive for life memberships-starts to- day. Our Alumni have shown that they are be- hind us by raising funds for the original cost of constructing the finest building of its kind in the country. It is up to u to demonstrate to them that we are worthy of the support which they have so gener- ously extended. The most practical proof lies in giving to the, Union a guarantee that it will not be lacking in funds to meet running expenses. The only sure way of doing this is to sign up the life membership pledge. The goal set is two thousand, five hundred new members. With this number of pledges in hand the Union officials feel certain, although no definite1 promises can be made as yet, that the amount nec-. essary for the completion of both the tank and the reading room will be forthcoming. Weneed that tank ; we need the reading room and the new tap-room. Without loyalty we can- not have them. Sign the slip when the committee- men request it and help the good work along. THE FOOTBALL TICKET DILEMMA There is no use in trying to smooth over the dis- ,appointment created by failure of thousands of students and alumni to secure seats for the Chicago game in spite of application before the closing date. Mixups reported to the Student council or brought to notice in other ways showed that in some cases the distribution, however impersonal it may have been, worked unfairness which has rankled in the hearts of those who believed them- selves ill-treated. The condemnatory posters scat- tered around Ann Arbor were unfortunate, but they arose from a very sincere and deep-seated agitation against the present system-. The chairman of the Board in Control of Ath- letics, in his frank statement regarding the situa- fion, has freely admitted that a radical revision is necessary, -and it must be presumed that the Ath- letic association intends to make a change before next season. Charges of unnecessary favoritism and inefficiency in the ticket distribution may' be unfounded, or based purely on the unexpectedly large sale for the Chicago game; but a continued failure such as that of the present season would be a misfortune which the University would not be in a temper to abide. It is gratifying to know that the officials realize the necessity of a change and intend to create an efficient system. No one will deny that a number of tickets should be laid away for certain persons whose service to the University has been unusuall, either as under- graduates or as alumni. A man who played three years on a varsity team, for instance, certainly de- serves special consideration. It seems that the best solution lies in publicity. If the officials announced beforehand-- exactly how many tickets each group would have reserved for their orders - alumni, student body, outsiders, and the special group men- tioned above - stating just where the seats were located and when the sle would start, a great step forward would be taken. In as much as the Ath- letic association is the body most interested in the matter, it will undoubtedly take steps to prevent a recurrence of the 1920 dilemma, and necessity will probably be the creator of a system better than any we can suggest. the student body is eagerly await- ing such a change. WHY NOT MINOR SPORTS? Although Michigan has, for the past two years, had swimming, hockey, and soccer teams, and al- though she has a number of other sports which are at present apparently noi considered worthy to come under the title "Varsity," she has been utiliz- ing material in these branches of athletics without giving any great amount of credit to the men who have given their time toward making these sports successful. Last year Michigan's hockey team played five games and won five ; last year, too, the soccer team won four out of the five games played. Men who turned out and worked to make those teams suc- cessful received only numerals as a reward. The same is true of swimming. Last season we had a good swimming turnout and, in spite of the rather poor facilities for practice which naturally ham- pered the team, the spirit was good and the team was entered in two meets. J Just now there are seven branches of athletics applying for recognition as minor Varsity sports: swimming, hockey, soccer, cross-country, golf, box- ing and wrestling. Of these, swimming and wrest- ling are Conference sports, but under the present system of the Atheltic association, men taking part in them do not receive an "M" for their pains. Cross-country men, it is true, can receive an "M" if they qualify in a Conference meet, but the most credit they receive for participation in the regular dual meets is a "C.C,C." Naturally there would be difficulties involved in making a change, but the possibility of forming a class of minor Varsity sports and thus giving men taking part in them an appropriate award, would seem to be a wise and not wholly imptacticable plan. Almost to a man the University subscribed to life memberships when the Union canvassers made the rounds last year. Michigan's newest class has shown itself so far to be up to the standard in loy- alty; this week's campaign will be the final proof of '24. Save that throat; you'll need it for the Minnesota sendoff Thursday. Illinois was right when she said "The bigger they are-" Well, they got some of the scalpers, at any rate. ~ The Telescope By popular request, we take pleasure in reprint- ing one of the poems which, on its first appearance in the Telescope last year, literally took the cam- pus by storm.
