THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1921 Night Editor-HUGHSTON McBAIN BASKET SQUABBLES WITH THE EAST Although Michigan and the East were at one time continually at swords points with one an- other athletically, it is now a rare occasion on which our Varsity mixes in with an eastern squad on the floor of Waterman gymnasium, and even less often does Ferry field witness a repetition of the old East-vs.-Michigan struggles. Now, however, according to action taken in the last meeting of the Board in Control of Athletics, the Wolverines will compete in basketball with two eastern teams this season, with Carnegie Tech on Dec. 29, and with Colgate on Dec. 30 and 31. Both contests will be played in Ann Arbor. Such schedules with colleges and universities Soutside our ordinary realm - the Conference - should make for something of a continuance of Michigan's old-time policy of wide competition. It does us no harm to take on teams outside the Big Ten; on the contrary such a plan is exceedingly valuable to the University. By our competition in athletics are we known. The high school athlete at Hinkle's Junction, N. Y., or at Poppy Center, Cal, learns of Michigan, not through published statements regarding her course in the Metamor- physis of the Invertebrate, but through the teams which Michigan sends to the state in which the Hinkle's Junction or Poppy Center boys reside. They learn of her through her prowess on the field, the diamond, the track or the basket floor. Conse- quently, the scope of Michigan depends, to a con- siderable extent at least, on the work of her ath- letes in foreign fields - and no one can gainsay the fact. Not that our academic achievements do not re- flect themselves in every man or woman who is graduated from Michigan and goes elsewhere to enter the world of business and work; as a matter of fact, the academic side of our institution actually constitutes the vital part, the soul, of the name and spirit of Michigan. But, at the same time, it is the popular reputation of the University which we are now considering, and in no way practically can this reputation be so enlarged, extended, and made solid and lasting as in athletics. We therefore welcome this year's contests with Colgate and Carnegie In -stitute of Technology, in the hope that this new movement toward regular competition with the East.will be continued steadily, year by year. MAKING BETTER CITIZENS The main purpose of a university education, if the courses, curricula, and methods of teaching of the various institutions of higher education in the United States are to be taken as a criterion, is to give the student a theoretical training in whatever branch of learning he is pursuing. When the stu- dent has left the protecting walls of his alma mater and finds himself face to face with a hard, action- wanting world, he discovers that it is some time be- fore he can fully apply his theories and hypothe- sies to the needs and demands of the business world. It is with the avowed intention, therefore, of preparing the student to enter the domain where deeds accomplished mark a man's value and rank among his fellowmen that the department of so- ciology of the University has this fall added to its already extensive program of study - courses which will give 'the world, trained, practical work- ers, who, from the moment they leave the Univer- sity will be fully equipped to take up the impor- tant duties expected of college graduates and Amer- ican citizens. In the field of sociology, especially, there is a pressing need for men and women who know how to combine theory with practice in producing re- sults which will make for better community and general social conditions. Thus these courses will include practical research in such lines of work as social administration, community surveys and sta- tistics, education of abnormal children, psychiatric social work and child welfare. Working in harmony with the purposes of these new branches of study, this week a special oppor- tunity for hearing men who have already made names for themselves as sociologists and crinnol- ogists is offered to students in the sociology de- partment. The Michigan State Conference of So- cial' Workers is this year holding its annual meet- ing in Ann Arbor, with a program of lectures deal- ing with economics, sociology, and criminology. Thus two forces are combinng to bring about a praiseworthy result, namely, of making the stu- dents who leave the University as its representa- tives not only well-trained, prepared-to-meet-the- demands-of-the-world workers, but also citizens of the highest mental and moral calibre. THE GENTLE RAZZ The carpenter and riveter are of great service to humanity. They are always knocking, but when they do knock they hit the nail on the head and the result is something worth while. Unfortunately not all knockers are carpenters and riveters. No man has a right to find fault -with the way others are doing thingsunless he has done the thing better himself. The man whose idea of campus activities is flirt- ing with a lamp-post has no right to criticise the one who does go out for activities in the effort to ac- complish something worthwhile for his own benefit and that of his school. The man who considers his mission in life the tucking away of three "squares" a day has no right to tell another man that he isn't doing enough work. The moral is, that if you are one of those peo- ple who must knock - knock yourself first. Mr. Zero, of auction block fame, seems to have developed into a second Coxie. ~siTheuTelescope "Romnance'", Our Own Opera (Prologue - A Court Scene) The scene was in a royal court, Where kings and queens did come; Then entered knights and princes, too, They were the bluebloods, by gum. Sir Erm was there, in a suit of mail, And Erma wore clothes of silk; But the whole court laughed when Erman ar- rived. Sipping a glass of milk.
