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?
