SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1921 HOLD YOUR BREATH All week the campus has been in tension over this fall's football developments. But today real action will replace argument and debate. This aft- ernoon Michigan and Illinois will begin to punch each other's faces on the Indians' home field. We all wanted to go with the team. We always Ao want to go when the time rolls 'round. But being compelled, most of us, to stay in Ann Arbor, we will probably spend the afternoon in out-and-out agony, awaiting the score from Urbana. We hope Michigan will win; we feel quite sure, in fact, that she will win. But, win or lose, we, as Michigan men and women, must and will remember that the team is our team, and we will give its members due welcome upon their return, regardless. It's going to be a great fight this afternoon. May the gods favor Michigan ! THE COLLEGIATE CRIMINAL About one in forty of the inmates of state peni- tentiaries are graduates of colleges or universities, according to recent surveys. Since about one per- son in twenty-five Americans has had college train- ing, the percentage of prisoners among college graduates is less than that of other classes; but au- thorities say that no more than one college man should be found in a hundred convicts. It is not lack of intelligence that is to be blamed in the case of the collegiate criminal. His mental- ity is higher than that of the average citizen, say authorities; and even higher than that of the aver- age college student ! Nor is want of experience to be blamed, for the average age of the educated criminal is six years greater than that of the ordi- nary criminal. The reason seems to be a psychological one. The great majority of educated men sent to state pris- ons are convicted for commercial crimes such as forgery or embezzlement, crimes which show that the perpetrator was dissatisfied with his condition in life and attempted to better it by using dishonest methods. Usually the men were salesmen or minor clerks, in positions which they considered were be- neath their ability or not profitable enough to main- tain themselves in the way they believed they were " entitled to. They found themselves in the rut with no immediate prospect of getting out of it by fair means, and they took the only other alternative. It is a widely recognized fact that the ordinary college man has a rather selfish view of education. He is training himself not so much for life as for making a living; not so much for its value as for making himself valuable. He believes the only knowledge worth while is that which he can apply to the problem of making money and achieving ma- terial prosperity. And if his training, which is us- ually the only thing which he gets out or college life, fails him, he is tempted to turn to fraudulent methods to gain his ends. The ethics of the day is too utilitarian and too lacking in ideality. The college man should realize that he owes a duty to the state, to society, and that he must fulfill this duty by public service. So- ciety invests in every college man a certain amount of its surplus wealth; in the case of the state uni- versity a direct tax is laid on the commonwealth to provide for his training. The person benefit must pay dividends or he has no right to the bene- Afe.o -16... r..i.,ir.Q It is realization of service owed society that must be inculcated into the mind of the college student. It should be understood that his abilities are to be used not entirely to his own advantage, and that if he finds his situation in life not all that he thinks it should be, it is part of his duty to the public to try to improve it only by honest methods. "They also serve who only stand and wait." He can at least do that. AMERICAN VALUATION The American valuation plan of the Fordney tariff bill has been the subject of much discussion pro and con both in the national legislative body and among economists the world over. Apparently it contains many objectionable features which tend to make its adoption against the best interests of the country, the most important of which are that it would probably encourage speculation in commodi- ties, make importation of goods from abroad un- likely, and increase our present economic difficul- ties. Figured in foreign exchange the rates of duty im- posed by the Fordney tariff bill are low. However, calculated on the basis of American valuation they are extremely and prohibitively high. According to a statement made by the National Retail Dry Goods association gingham dress goods made in England and which are used in this country in large quanti- ties at the retail price of 69 cents a yard will, by the simple passing of the American Fordney bill, be increased to 92 cents a yard. Cotton novelty voiles made in France and sold in this country at $1.42 a yard will be increased by American valuation so that they will have to sell at $1.88 a yard. With other materials it is the same way. Such a situation might benefit certain classes, but it would work a hardship upon the nation as a whole. We should protect our manufacturers to some extent against cheap foreign labor, but not to the extent of eliminating foreign competition, which would probaly result if the plan is adopted as the valuation would be high enough to make any im- portation practically impossible. Retail prices are based on whilesale prices, and one of the most ac- tive influences in keeping products of American manufacturers at reasonable price levels is the pres- ence of foreign competition. Under American val- uation domestic manufacturers would themselves regulate the duty upon imported goods by increas- ing their own prices. Price fluctuations must be minimized, prices must be reduced and foreign trade must be revived if our workers are to be employed and ourfarmers ob- tain a fair price for their commodities. Without these improveemnts the present period of depres- sion cannot be terminated. The Fordney tariff bill helps one class at the expense of the rest of the population. The government is in the anomalous position of seeking through one class of agencies to develop trade and reduce living costs while at the same time considering a plan that will counteract a large part of what it has accomplished along these lines. The Telecoe Which Are You? (From the Cornell Daily Sun) When God had made the good on earth, He -found there was no bad, So then He made the beasts and snakes, E'en then some scraps He had. These were too bad to fashion skunks, Or rattlers, wolves and such, So He checked them all into a mold, Behold! It wasn't much! The thing was filled with jealousy, Suspicious, like a rat, It had a broad, bright yellow steak, A KNOCKER called He that. This KNOCKER was a gruesome beast, It made God's blood run cold, He must needs counteract its work, So He did this, I'm told. He took a sunbeam from the sky, The heart of a small child, A brain from man He added next, And justice made it mild. He covered it with broth'rly love, Equality for men, He made it strong and clean and brave, What did He call this then? This was the BOOSTER of our sports, The Booster of our U. Now tell me, all you sturdy studes, WHICH ONE OF THESE ARE YOU? -L. A. F. Our Latest Song Entitled: "While Clay Is Oft Down-trodden, a Stone Is a Little Boulder."
