To the end that their ef- tbe made as effective as possible, a corn- hree, composed of Deans Bursley, Bates, , was formed to look into the local situa- s on November second. Nineteen days s announced that the Ann Arbor Cham- nmerce, being enthusiastically in support iversity's price commission, had appro- sum of $500 which, when added to a nount from the University, would be y the expenses of an expert investigator look-in on local conditions. Almost im- he deans met again, reiterated their ear- ents, and vowed action. They were they, nds from the Board of Regents to help investigation expenses. nt in connection with the opening of the was the fact that local prices immedi a decided drop.

Regardless of these possibili- ver, it would seem that the University tain duty to its faculty and students, and villing to exert every reasonable effort to g conditions in Ann Arbor substantially 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."

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.

Featured by leading Student Supply Stores 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?" milltary Ball Tickets on Sale Tickets for the second annual mil- itary half, to be given April 28 under the auspices of the University post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, will be on sale from 2 to 5 o'clock this after- noon at the Union.
