MISLEADING THE TAXPAYER An article dealing with the incapacity of the aver- age university student (is there such a thing?) ap- peared in the last Detroit Saturday Night, which for sheer, unthinking inopportunism, cannpt be beaten. At the present time the University authorities are trying to raise the largest appropriation in the his- tory of the school. A student in the University, who happens to be taking philosophys hears a pro- fessor give a lecture on the really deplorable cal- iber of the university students in this country as compared to those of other nations. This profes- sor, himself a product of Scotch and Continental universities, does maintain that the usual run of American students are the mental inferiors to their European cousins of a like age. The student immediately sits down and sends an article to the Detroit Saturday Night, which is printed under the head, "COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE SEVENTY-TWO PER CENT HQPE- LESS". In the 'ensuing paragraphs he maintains that seventy-two per cent of us should not be here at all, that twenty per cent of us might be capable of turning out good work, and that only eight per cent of us are indubitably of college caliber. In reality the professor, misquoted but not named, maintains that the statements made do apply to university students, an entirely different concept in his mind from college students. The author of the story goes on to state that "higher education for the masses is titter rubbish" and that some day the taxpayers of the state will rise in revolt at paying for the ever increasing ap- propriations demanded by our state universities. He give the impression that what the taxpayers want is the establishnent of an intellectual aristocracy, in place of what we now have. As a matter of fact few of the taxpayers would ungrudgingly pay their school and university taxes if it were not for the benefits conferred upon their sons and daughters, a minimum number of whom would class as intellectual aristocrats. What they want, rightly or wrongly, is just the type of uni- versities which we now have and not the highly selective group of intellectuals which may be found in European centers of higher education. Totally disregarding the influences which diver- gent national tendencies and ideals have brought to bear upon our system of education as compared to the European systems, this student goes ahead, and, substituting European ideas and concepts, damns our whole educational system without giving his readers the chance to discern just how he has reached "his conclusion. The thing is especially reprehensible just now when a sensational story giving only one side of the question may conceiv- ably' have a deterring influence in the granting of our much needed appropriation. HAS IT A PLACE? Are we being overtaxed by incessant drives for money, and has religion a place in the Univer- sity? The answering of these two vital ques- tions by each individual on the campus will spell success or defeat for the Students' Christian as- sociation campaign for funds which it initiates to- day in order to carry on its work for the coming year. The first of these problems offers no excuse. Although there has been an unusual number of drives, still their demands have been small, and according to very liberally figured statistics, the average-student has not given more than $2.70 to- wards the total of these various undertakings. The money derived from this campaign is de- voted directly to student activities. The most im- portant of these are the spreading of Michigan propaganda throughout the state, and the conduct- ing of Union religious services with the foremost men of the ecclesiastical world presiding. Only one salary is drawn from this fund, the clerks at Lane hall being supported entirely by the churches of Ann Arbor. One-eighth of the total amount re- quired is asked from the student body, the re- mainder being solicited from alumni. So the first question having been answered sat- isfactorily, there rests only one condition upon the success of the S. C. A. drive. The decision is a matter of opinion and rests with each individual. If religion has a place in the University, then the campaign of the Students' Christian association is justified. If not its activities are doomed to cease. What do you think? Is the drive worthy of suc- cess? "BE ALIVE" One week has elapsed since the reopening of school. Classes are in full swing; assignments are being dealt out recklessly. The bulk of the open textbook lies en the left hand side. Christmas is over; exams loom darkly forth in the distance. Only one month more is allotted to whip each course into shape for the finals. And still not a few of us remain in the semi-coma carried over from two weeks of leisure. Even the most forgetful seem to have had no difficulty in remembering President Marion L. Bur- ton's statement that vacation is a time to vacate, but to quote the words of a faculty member, the1 President also advised students to "be alive," and now is the time when this applies. This part of the semester is one which makes or breaks. An exten- sion of our Christmas vacation at present may mean the granting of a permanent one in Febru- ary. Let's call the hibernation over. The game of keeping the University clock and the one on the court house as far apart as possi- bel is still on. Someday one or the other will ac- cidentally hit the right time and lose the game. Let's all root for the campus turnip. The Telescope Dear Noah: One of my eyes is so turned that it gives me the effect of being cross-eyed. Under these circum- stances, what do you think you would do?. . Afflicted. After considerable thought on the question we have come to the conclusion that under these same conditions, we, too, would look cross-eyed. First stude-That's a great hunting dog you have there. Second ditto-You're right. I call him "Doc." First-Why so? Second-He never lost a scent.a The other night when we were going up to our girl's. house we made a hasty inventory and decided that about all we had to spend that night was our time. However, for fear our girl might expect us to take her out somewhere we decided on an air- tight alibi. So we runs up the steps all breathless and wild- eyed. When our girl asks us what's the matter we told her that on the way up we had been waylaid and held up by two highwaymen who pointed a gun at our head and said: "Give us your money or we'll blow your brains out." By this time our girl is sitting on the edge of her seat and in a low whisper she asks: "And what do you say then ?" "Well," we says to them, 'Blow away; if you've got a girl in Ann Arbor it's better to be without brains than to be without money.'" And our girl, being real clever, took her cue and we held down the sofa that night. Why Not Buttercups or Cowslips? He sent a rather clever collection of flowers be- fore him. Roses and orchids would have conveyed an unpleasing impression to Sonia ; dairies charmed her. - La Parisienne Magazine. Geraldine writes in to ask whether our college motto is, "Liberty, fraternity and sorority" or 'Independence is our name." For once we think "discussion is not the better part of valor" and so will let some of our more intrepid readers answer the query.
