G. Burchell That Monday's misstatements should have gone forth is a hard commentary on journalistic ethics. That there was an underlying groundwork of fact on which those misstatements, were based should bring Michigan to a realization of the immediate need of a cleanup. The new dean will find that the great body of Michigan students understand the situation; and he will also find that the fair policy he has promised will open the way to a real stu- dent and administration co-operatidn if continued in the future. RETURN THE BLUEBOOKS Corrections, telegraphed back to gun-crews, give the finishing touch to the deadly accuracy of artil- lery fire. The target niay even be entirely hidden from those manning the gun, yet if immediately after each shot competent observers report where it landed, it does not take the artillerymen long to begin hitting the bull's eye with uncanny certainty. In teaching, this method of profiting by mistakes has an inportant application. When asked a ques- tion, the student cannot know for a certainty whether or not his views on the subject in question are correct. He must have some means of check- ing himself up, some way of comparing his answer with the true one. One of the most important ways of doing this is through the prompt return of bluebooks. At present this method is not being put to its full use in the University. Some bluebooks are never returned and the students who write them can have only a hazy idea whether or not they hit the mark. Other written examinations are given back after the fine points of a subject have begun to blur in the minds of those taking the course and so all possible bene- fit is not derived. Still others, we are glad to say, are handed back within only a short time after the exam. The value of this promptness is attested to by all who have been fortunate enough to take courses where it is in vogue. Any inconvenience it necessitates to instructors is fully compensated by its benefits to the student body. THE CALL FOR BASEBALL TRYOUTS Once again the balmy days approach when we will enter competition in a realm of athletics where Michigan has of late been pre-eminently at the fore - baseball; and Coah Pratt has already be- gun strenuous work with his material. It is not all clear sailing for the coach. Although the tryouts this year number sixty or more, only five of this number are old time Varsity men and the rest are largely unknown quantities so far. Coach Pratt must find a man for first base and an- other for third. He must also discover a short- stop, two outfielders, and a couple of catchers, as well as a number of reserves. These men must all be of a class worthy and ca- pable of upholding old Michigan standards if this year we are to prove up to our old reputation. But this is not all; for after this season Captain Parks and the five old-timers who are now supporting him are not going to be here and Michigan is going to have to rely on the material developed this year for her standing in the near future. It's up to Michigan to get every man of possible value out for practice immediately. "The plot," reads a subtitle of a recently-pro- duced screen comedy, "is that the boy loves the girl, and the rest just happens." Which, we might add, must be the formula in nine out of ten movies now- adays. Most of the plots "just happen." , the 2Telescope TEXTBOOKS and SUPPLIES for All Colleges at Both Stores G R AIIA M BOTH ENDS OF THE DIAGONAL WALK a JW" Persons wishing to secure information concerning news for any e of The Daily should see the night editor, who has full charge i news to be printed that night.

THE YELLOW SHEET "Take a Crack at the University" seems to be the vew creed of yellow journalism in Michigan. The -aking up and. sensationalizing of incidents which a fact concern only a very negligible percentage >f the student body - President Marion L. Bur- :n placed it below five per cent - and the playing p of such matter in scare headlines, some of them ed, on the front page of the Detroit Times is an ct which can in itself serve no purpose but to arm the good name of the University throughout he entire nation. But when, in addition to this, the story beneath le penny dreadful headlines is not true in many of s main points; when its lies and half-lies and mis- akes regarding Dean Joseph A. Bursley deliber- tely place the University administration in a bad, ght not only before the public but before the stu- ent body; when the misapprehension thereby cre- ted bids well to hinder the new dean of students i his absolutely square attempt to co-operate with he students, then it is certainly time for the entire university community to take action to prevent urther propaganda of this sort. The first fact we must realize is that journalists 'ho will do such a thing once will probably be just s willing to do it again. Michigan's first line of ofense lies in a complete cleaning-up, so far as >mbined student and faculty action can avail, of Ze sort of incidents which make food for yellow lumns, and which through exaggeration cast an nplication on the character of Michigan students ; a whole. Probably no individuals have come to sadder and wiser realization of this fact than the en whose recent thoughtless conduct has brought great a stigma not merely on them personally, it on the University. These men were loyal stu- mts, most of them, but they did not think. Our sk in the future is to consider consequences - to ce definitely not only the moral significance of ir acts within the University community, but also eir publicity significance outside. Dean Bursley's program is open for every student read. He is going to serve as the important per- nal intermediary between the administration and e students. His office is one long needed at Mich- an. He is going to give advice where students ant it, and he will stand beside every student who right. He is to be no curfew-ringer, and above l he hopes that the recommendation of disciplin- y measures will be the smallest part of his office. he placing of a man of his type in the position of an of students is a warranty of fair dealing and a lwark against the kind of misunderstanding which s existed in the past. The students are going to ve a better chance to ?be heard and, to have their ins and purposes considered than ever before. an Bursley stands for a better Michigan along ery phase of student activities; and not repres-. n, but assistance, is the groundwork of his .
