TWO SHORT STORY CONTI STS
Short story writing is an art which seems to be
its apex of popularity just now. Consequently, with
the double object of rewarding any talent on the
campus and bringing to attention any writers who
have hereto escaped notice, two short story con-
tests are being conducted in the University, one by
the Chimes and the other through The Daily. Every
student is eligible for competition except in the for-
mer case where members of the editorial staff of the
publication are barred.
Three cast} prizes are offered in the Chimes con-
test, first, fifteen dollars; second, ten dollars; and
third, five dollars. The more general requirements:
are that stories shall be not less than one thousand
and not more than three thousand words, that stor-
ies must be delivered to the office of the Chimes on
or before Nivember 15, and that they should be
typewritten and double spaced. The story winning
the first prize will appear in the December issue of
Chimes. The remainder which are judged worthy
will appear in subsequent numbers. The stories will
be judged not alone on their literary merit, but also
on their general readability and human interest.
The contest sponsored by The Daily is being con-
ducted on slightly different lines. Ten dollars and
royalties will be paid for each winning story. An
unnamed publisher has contracted to put in book
form ten short stories written by college men and
women. The articles should deal with some phase
of college life, should depict the college atmos-
phere, and be from five to seven thousand words in
length. Manuscripts should be addressed to the lit-
erary department, Michigan Daily. The fact that
stories have been entered in the Chimes contest is
no bar, as copies may be sent to The Daily as well.
Last year and during the year preceding similar
contests have disclosed a wealth of literary talent
on the campus, a large number of manuscripts be-
ing turned in. Among those received were some
that would have been a credit to more seasoned and
professional writers. Judging from the type of
work produced the present contests should uncork
a flood of meritous manuscripts. There are no
barirers or hindrances. Every one has a fair
chance and is urged to take part.
LEARN TO LIKE IT
The average college student is said by some crit-
ics to be narrow-minded. That is, that he conceives'
an idea, or a notion, sand neither fire nor flood can
dislodge that idea or notion. Some students have
in some mysterious manner acquired the idea that
it is "high-brow" to admit a liking for good music.
This type of man is loud in praise of "jazz" and is
alawys calling for "something snappy". This same
student will stay at home rather than attend an en-
tertainment where he will hear classical music
played by an organization of trained musicians.
"No," says he, "that's high-brow."
Taste in music is acquired' in much the same
way as is acquired the taste ,for mayonnaise - by
trying it. Many people learn to like ripe olives..
Many more have cultivated an appreciation for good
a lawyer. The man who is unwilling to even attend
concerts cannot hope to learn to enjoy real music.
In Ann Arbor we are fortunate in having, each
year, good music - worthwhile music, interpreted
by the greatest musicians which this country or
any other has yet produced. In such an environment
and with such opportunities at so little cost it is rea-
sonable to expect many students to take advantage
of them.
The splendid program offered by the Choral
Union concert series, with Fritz Kreislef and John
McCormack among the artists, offers such an op-
portunity to the students at this University.
It will be interesting to see to what extent they
are appreciated.
THE BRAND OF THE ALPHABET
When Noah Webster wrote up the dictionary he
didn't fool around with the alphabet. He jotted
down the twenty-six letters the way he had learned
them back in the little red school-house, and the
proceeded to collect the words belonging under each
list.
Back in that little red school-house, Noah, - al-
though we haven't the inside dope, - probably was
the scholar of his class, and as such was placed by
the spectacled wielder of the birch rod in the first
seat in the room. Such was the reward of merit.
Rut if Noah had lived a century later and had at-
tended the University of Michigan, he would un-
_doubtedly have held a revolutionary attitude to-
wards the alphabet when the time came for him to
write up his dictionary. The fact is that Noah
would literally have been at the foot of every class
in which he entered, despite all the sparkling ability
and intellectual scintillation which he might have
displayed. For Noah 'was born under a stigma
branding him "Handle with Care.; Deposit at Foot
of Class". He was brought forth into this world
with a name which begins with "W".
Noah is only one of many. At the present time
members of about one-third of the student body are
forced in class to sit up and cock their ears in or-
der to hear what is happening in the room, and to
crane over a few score or a few hundred hats, as
the case may be, if they are ambitious enough to
try to keep an eye on the professor. They trudge
from class to class, each time perhaps with re-
newed hope, only to find themselves - Upson, Ver-
ner, Webster, Xyla, and Yaeger - inevitably seated
at the foot of the class.
Someday an individual is going to appear in court,
and when the judge inquires his business he will
say, "I'm about to attend the University of Michi-
gan, and I want my name changed from Zuppke to
Aaroh so I can get a satisfactory seat in class."
A CURE FOR DISCOURAGEMENT;
When things go wrong, don't worry.
Milton wrote "Paradise Lost,,' blind and depend-
ent upon the assistance of his shrewish daughters.
Byron had a club foot. De Maupasant produced
the most polished short stories in the history of the
literary world knowing that he was gradually be-
coming insane. Poe, dishonored, disowned, his
child-wife dying amid abject poverty, wrote master-
pieces which will live centuries after him.
The diamond is the result of thousands of years
of pressure and heat. George Elliott is said to have
rewritten all her novels from twelve to twenty times
before she considered them good enough to be pub-
lished. A doctor must study six years before he is
even allowed to begin the practice of his profession.
If things go wrong, don't worry.
After all, what the world wants is results -- not
excuses.
Why doesn't some enterprising merchant, or
group of merchants, offer a prize for the best and
most original house decorations for next Satur-
day's blowout?
