Burcheli may harbor riches of scientific interest, but i neither of the Michigan expeditions is so fortu nate as to make a name for itself because of rare discoveries, both will at least be of service through letting the rest of the world know more about the regions visited. POLITENESS f l- e The Chicago Tribune has of late been running a politeness campaign and giving fifty dollars every day to persons deemed worthy by the "politeness reporter". And,. if accounts from visitors to the Tribune plant are to be accepted, the employes of this newspaper practice what they preach in the way of courtesy. In conducting this campaign the Tribune is aim- ing at the development of a characteristic which it would be well for all of us to acquire. But it is feared that while in college we are inclined to lose it to a considerable extent. Impoliteness toward professors in class rooms, occasional lack of con- sideration for the rights of women, thoughtlessness of the feelings of others, are faults we are too often guilty of which will mark us as a bit lacking in some of the niceties of life. Politeness is just a habit. As college students, we ought to acquire it. As has been said time and again hne of the things a man should learn in the course of a university career is plain everyday po- liteness, whether he learns anything else or not. It is a quality which cannot be gotten from books; its acquisition requires thought and practice and just an attempt now apd then to put ourselves in the other fellow's shoes and try to decide what we would like to have done under certain circum- stances. Courtesy is a simple characteristic but inost surely marks above all others those who have fully learned its use. , t x L a i 1 A COMPLETE LINE OF DIARIES AND DESK CALENDARS' AT G FHAkM'S Both Ends of the Diagonal Walk DETROIT UNITED LINES In Effect Nov. 2, 1920 Between Detroit, Ann Arbor and Jackson (Eastern Standard Time) Limited and Express cars leave for Detroit at 6:05 a. m., 7:05 a. m., 8:10 a. m., and hourly to 9:10 p. m.

Night Editor-JOHN I. DAKIN. THE BEST SAFE-GUARD Down Columbus way, at the University of Ohio, the campus "is all in a stir" about cheating and "cribbing" during examinations. The matter has taken such a serious turn that several student mass meetings have 1een held, addressed by indigant speakers denouncing the cheaters as blights o the honor-of Ohio State. The only and most effective method of remedying this fault, according to sev- eral emphatic editorials in the Ohio State Lantern, is for the entire student body to take concerted ac- tion in immediately reporting anyone caught in a dishonest act during an examination. This shows, perhaps, one of the strongest rea-. sons why, now that the honor system has been started in the lit school, it should be put through by the student body. Our best safe-gurd against such occurrances as are complained of at Columbus is for the student body, of its own initiative and volition, to assure the success of the honor system by unanimous co-operation. No progressive movement can succeed without the whole-hearted support of those affected by it. , The Senior class of the literary department has set a laudable example by installing the honor system this semester. It should have all possible encour- agement in carrying out the test which is to deter- mine whether or not, in examinations at Michigan every man is to be his own keeper and guided only by his honor. MODERN EXPLORATION Today there are no new continents or rbutes to India to be discovered, but the interest in explora- tion which reached such a height 'at the time of Columbus is still strong., During the coming year at least two expeditions in which Michigan will have a part will be sent to remote corners of the earth. One, oganized by the universities of Michigan, Columbia, and Indiana, will go to the head-waters of the Amazon in search of biological specimens: The other, in charge of Prof.,William H. Hobbs, who is to be financed by ex-Gov. Chase S. Osborne, will traverse a more ro- mantic locale; but it also is going for scientific pur- poses. Such enterprises as these are typical of th mod- ern attitude toward geography. The promise of untold wealth which in former centuries has been the chief stimulant to interest in unknown lands is today almost ineffectual. True, some chance of gaining appreciable wealth in the out of the way places of the globe still exist, but they are far less inviting than were those in the days of Cortez, and people prefer making their way at home to facing the hardships of the frontier. As a result, exploration as a source of wealth has been superseded by exploration as a source or knowledge, and- to most people foreign lands .and peoples have become an interest in them- selves. This interest has undoubtedly been fos- tered' by well-selected travel movies. That it ex- ists is shown by the popularity of such publications as the "National Geographical magazine". Even what, from a commercial view point, may now be the most barren parts of the earth THE TABOOED CITY1 There is a city in our midst, whose beauty em- bodies all the art and grace of imagination, whose characters are the ideals of the centuries, whose civilization is the product of the ages. And yet this city is forbidden, and those who enter therein are frowned upon, and are misjudged. Its name is the City of Literature, and visitors are often called grinds by those who do not enter its portals. But to the grind this city offers no attraction, and seldom does he pass its threshold. Nor does he mingle with the others who remain without. Rather, he confines himself to the narrow passages of the text book path, and his view is shut in by the walls of poor fellowship and isolation. Meanwhile the guests in the City of Literature are surrounded by the beauty, the friendships, the art the-associations and the glories of every realm and time. They sip nectar with the Greeks, or munch Lotus on the banks of the Nile; they urge chariots in Pompeii, or recline in palanquins at PeLin; they aid Napoleon at Waterloo, or even don a gas mask in the Argonne. Theirs is the privi- lege of a wider vision, of a broader view upon life. Yet, as they enter the portals, the ones* who stay without because they do not believe in this wonder city and would, rather seek amusement elsewhere, sneer and scoff at them as they pass and try to turn them from their course by branding them with un- just names, and telling them that the City of Liter- ature is tabooed. a 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Men: Last season's hats turn- ed inside out, refinished and re- blocked with all new trimmings look justlike new, wear just as long and saves you five to ten dollars.
