Dryer Walter Scherer Martin Goldring Richard Heidemann Edw. Murane Tyler Stevens T:, H. Wolfe to Washington next November with petitions urg- ing the international disarmament conference to put an end to all war in the name of the nation's young manhood. It is hoped by those in charge that the movement will be so unanimous that it will convince beyond a doubt the students of Europe and the del- egates at the conference that young Americans want permanent peace, and it is further hoped that per- manent peace will result from the plan. In the former desire it should be successful but as to the second aim it is doubtful, as a practical matter, whether a delegation of students will have much effect on the outcome of the international confer- ence. Weighty problems will have to be grappled with by those who assemble next month at the nation's capital. The situation in the far east must be straightened out before the limitation of armaments can be discussed. Nearly every one wants perman- ent peace and, a reduction in armaments. If the latter is accomplished the purpose of the conference will have been fulfilled. Consequently the minds of the leaders will be taxed too heavily with the sol- emn tasks to perform to open their ears very widely to petitions signed by college men and women. If it is worth the time and expense to conduct a pilgrimage of students to Washington merely to show those attending European universities that the hearts of young Americans are in the right place regarding the common desire for a lasting peace then the plan is passable. But if in addition it is expected that petitions made by students will have any marked psychological, moral, or material ef- fect upon the delegates assembled at Washington next month there is a question as to whether or not the proposition is worth the candle. R There's one thing worse than trying to hear over an Ann Arbor phone - trying to hear a football score through a cheer leader's megaphone. "Now booking football teas" advertises orches- tra in Columbia paper. That's one social- custom we hope won't spread west. According to report prunes have jumped from six to forty-five cents. This will surely mean a raise in board prices. At least we can say our local merchants are up to date - they aren't charging pre-war prices.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1921 Night' Editor-G. P. OVERTON HELLO, AGGIES There can be no better reason offered for the continuation'.of intercollegiate athletics than the fact that they promote good will and friendly in- terests, which serve to establish permanent bonds of friendship and' clean sportsmanship among the various colleges and institutions of this country. So it is, that with a record of more than fifteen years of football contests, all of which have been ever characterized by all that betokens honesty, clean playing, and a healthy spirit of rivalry, Michigan once again welcomes M. A. C. on her annual pil- grimage to Ann Arbor. Trde, previous results indicate that we have come out ahead in the great majority of games. But the "Aggies" are known to be an outfit that never gives up, no matter how great the odds against them, and it is this fact above all others that has always made the Lansing aggregation a welcome visitor and a desirable opponent here. So, no matter what last year's score was, or what "today's will be -' we're certainly mighty glad to see you, M. A. C. AMERICANIZATION BY THE MOVIES Considerablepropaganda is being circulatedof late through editorial columns regarding the mat- ter of education through the medium of motion pictures. A sane survey of the facts in hand and the situation as it is would be highly profitable. The most recent development is the proposal to give a free motion picture exhibit once each week in every picture house in the state, for the purpose of car- rying on an intensive campaign having as its objec- tive the education, enlightenment, and Americani- zation of high, school pupils throughout the state. This idea has numerous glowing features; it has one glaring one: it won't work, unless some en- tirely new scheme for presenting educational films is first put into operation., Everyone who has ever attended the movies knows that as a general rule when educational films are shown, the audience yawns en masse until the feature is flashed on the screen. It is inconceivable that the great mass of the high school students of the state, who sit with bored expressions through educational films which are thrown in vwith the fea- tures they go to see, are going to trample one an- other under. foot in a mad attempt to secure front seats when such films are shown free, and attend- ance is not compulsory. In the army in certain sec- tions the infantry received first lessons in taking down and assembling the Browning rapid-fire guns through the medium of the movies, but they were marched in column of squads to the movie hall. If we are to uplift our high school students, why not put the movies in the schools, and assign a definite period each day for their exhibition? And the surest way to Americanize is by the cheery greeting and the attitude of easy equality toward the foreigner on our shores, instead of passing him by with a blank stare as if he were a Pariah, rather than a fellow-countryman of.Michael Angelo, Louis Kossuth, Demosthenes, Paderewski, or Paul the Apostle.
