MICHIGAN'S BIG WEEK
Considerable agitation has arisen of late regard-
ing the possible inauguration of a big Michigan
week, to be built up around Cap Night, for the pur-
pose of drawing alumni and visitors to Ann Arbor
so that they may, see the University of today under
representative 'conditions.
Much has been said concerning the belief that
"Michigan needs a pep restorer", perhaps with some
degree of truth. But what Michigan needs more
than this, is some definite contact between alumnus
and student, some personal means of keeping the
men who.have obtained their sheepskins interested
in their Alma- Mater. Many are graduated from
''Michigan and for years do not return, because in-
sufficient inducement is held out. Many do return
and enjoy being once again at their own,Univer-
sity. But there are plenty of other old-tiners here
at every Comniencement who, because they miss the
familiar faces and the crowds of undergraduate.
youngsters, depressedly moralize that the old town
"ain't what she used to be",. and go away with no
inclination to return again.
Michigan has many opportunities for establish-.
ing a week each year whose attractions draw in-
numerable alumni back to the fold, and whose
pleasures would be such as to make the anticipation
of return at a certain time each year thrill the hearts
*of the "old guard".;
With the May Festival offering valuable 'enter-
tainment during a large part of the week, returning
classes would have little difficulty in finding diver-
sion, while at the same time an excellent opportu-
nity for holding reunions would be offered. The
Senior Swing-out would furnish one of the most
impressive events on the schedule; the under-class
spring games would fill with interest Thursday aft-
ernoon and Saturday morning. A genei al Univer-
sity convocation and other features could be sched-
uled for Sunday, while Saturday night the climax
of the week would be reached in the ceremony of
Cap night, an occasion whose inspiration is felt not
only by students, or alumni,, but by all those who
witness it., It might be possible to delay the last
Festival concert' to accommodate those who attend
the Cap Night exercises.
This is only a tentative program. Many conces-
sions will have to be made, especially during the first
year when certainplans may conflict. But with the
adoption of some such program, Michigan would be
establishing an annual event which would effect a
consummation of genuine Michigan spirit, and
which would lead to a closeness of feeling between
alumni and student body such as could not help but
make itself increasingly felt as the "Big Week" ful-
filled its function from year to year.
Our good friend, Dr. T.' Lovell, by his acceptance
of the degree of S. 0. S. has nearly reached the
limit of fame to which one lone man may rise.
About all the honor that can now be bestowed upon
him is the degree of T. N. T., Thinker of New
Thoughts.
The difference between the new "silent cop", be-
ing installed at North U. and State, and the wooden
ones in front of Calkins', is that the latter can swing
their billies and chew gum."

Tense Moments from Immense Dramas
(The Bronze Devil. Act II, Scene 4)
De Francois: Will you have lunch with me at
the Baltimore?
Pauline: No!
De Francois :All right then. You won't eat with
me at the Baltimore lunch?
Pauline (bursting into tears): No! I am only a
poor working girl, but your vast temptations do note
move me, nor all your show of lavish money.
Helpful Hints
(By Ida D'Visum)
Dear Ida:
Knowing that you are a reliable judge in matters
of convention, being swayed neither by prudishness
or Bohemianism, I should like to ask your advice on
a question which is of great moment to me. How
long do you thing a girl should wear her dresses?
Yours, Mary Ca.
Dear Mar:
It is my sincere conviction that girl should wear
her dresses at least until the go: season, when she
can put on knickerbockers.
Doesn't Follow
That a bird in the hand's worth t 4 rin the bush,
Most everyone admits;
But the fact remains that a single brace
Is worth more than twc bit'.

SOTHE RS S AY:
OUR I&DORAL YOUTH
(Harvard Crimson)
No one who keeps an eye on thedo-
ings and sayings of "this giddy globe"
as reported in the columns of the daily
press can have failed to notice the in-
creasing flutter and agitation caused
by the extravagant, immoral ways of
the younger generation. Educators,
reformers, and social service workers
join battle on both sides. One day it is
the automobile, the next it is lack of
religion, and recently the opinion has
been voiced that the girl "vamp" is to
blame. While every so often the coun-
try is assured that its youth is at heart
wholesome, and needs only to be di-
rected gently into the straight and
narrow path.
All this discussion is interesting-
especially for those being discussed.
One has something of the feeling of
Mr. Cobb's goldfish when all his moral
traits and characteristics are dragged
triumphantly to the light. Sometimes,
too, there is a temptation to wonder if
the critics, in their zeal, are not piling
Pelion upon Ossa, and driving 'their
proud victims to further limits in ord-
er to uphold the reputation laid at
their thresholds. For above all we of
the younger generation are anxious to
please-and if we are exepected to be
shocking, -shall we not do our best to
give satisfaction? But when everyone
except the culprits themselves is al-
lowed to make suggestions, this task
is becoming increasingly difficult.
Are we really so much worse than
our forefathers? Or was that philoso-
pher wrong who said that every gener-
ation thinks its children lawless? Not
that we object to all this talk, amusing
as itis, but we should like to know
whether the constant struggle to be
horrible examples is unique with our
age alone. If we have succeeded in
stirring up the wrath of the just for
the first time, we should at least get
credit for that.
Second thoughts, however, dash
these hopes for fame. One has but to
remember the song "A Hot Time in the
Old Town Tonight" to see that we do
not stand alone in our wickedness.
And is there not a moral of some sort
attached to the expensive, rakish
horses and turnout of Pendennis?"
