AN ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT Today, or within the next two days, every Uni- versity man not now a life-member of the Michigan Union will be given an opportunity to become one. The Union does not have to beg for aid, for it offers advantages and opportunities in return worth far in excess of what the life-member pays. With its wonderful building, its fine appointments, its various entertainments, and its hotel accommoda- tions it represents an investment of some million and a quarter dollars. It provides a suitable place for the entertainment of guests. It is the nerve center of all student activities. It is a permanent home, to which a life-member is welcome at any time in the years to come. All this the life-member secures for the sum of fifty dollars, and is given four years in which to pay it. Any man who fails to take advantage of this op- portunity to become a life member in the finest col- lege club in the United States is not only showing a deplorable lack of true Michigan spirit, but is also missing a very good investment which will bring greater and greater returns as the years pass by. GUILDS OF STUDENTS Just as the first university of which we have any record - the University of Bologna - was a guild of students who managed their own affairs so our modern universities are in the main guilds of stu- dents adequately organized for campus and social functions. This is the central idea expressed by Wilbur Abbot of the history department of Dart- mouth university and formerly an instructor at Michigan, in an article in the November issue of the "Atlantic Monthly". Throughout the article Pro- fessor Abbot lauds vigorously college activities, so- cieties, and everything which tends to make the modern university a guild of students instead of a collection of individuals. But in his opinion there are two things needed for the betterment of the or- ganization. I. To connect this vigorous, undisciplined, loosely organized development with the saner standards and the worthier ends of mature minds on the principle of old men for counsel and young men for war. 2. Recognition by the students themselves of the duties and the responsibilities their system has brought with it. The idea of doing something for the university rather than for oneself. It is hard to agree with the professor's first prop- osition. Though the ardor and foolhardiness of youth may be in evidence in everything that is done by undergraduates on the college campus, strange as it may seem, the various enterprises are as a rule unusually successful. This success might be height- ened by the wisdom of older heads, -but it is likely that instead of proving a steadying influence such advice would serve only to check the youthful en- thusiasm of students. At least it would be a damper on the development of initiative. It is better for campus workers to find out for themselves where .the rocks are than to have each pebble pointed out to them by members of the faculty. .In his second point, Professor Abbot has unde- niably touched on the chief source of danger to - student- activities. In them the aim of the individ- ual must at all times be toward doing something constructive for the university rather than toward self-aggrandizement. Professor Abbot's suggestion, if fully carried out, would not hinder efficiency but could only heighten the spirit which at present per- meates our activities and makes for greater insti- tutions. It is right that our undergraduate life should be organized to such an extent that our universities re- semble the ancient guilds. But if back of it should prevail the strictly selfish motives which were to often found in these medieval corporations, instead of the one big idea of organizing primarily for the promotion of our institutions, it is doubtful if the resemblance is worth accentuating. GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP In the "Sport Snaps" column of the Ohio State Lantern for Nov. I appears the following: "Rich- ards, of Wisconsin will be there to get a line on the Maroons, while Yost of Michigan will in all prob- ability be there to see how good football should be played." Leaving out of consideration the effect such an uncalled-for statement might have upon the student body of a sister University, we only wish to re- mind Ohio that the difference between being a good loser and a poor winner is good sportsmanship. Athletic relations between Ohio State and Michi- gan have in the past been friendly and satisfac- ory. We hope they continue so. THE IMITATOR It seems inevitable that a certain percentage of mortals should be imitators, just as statistics show a certain percentage of the population has blue eyes or live in cities. The imitators part their hair in the middle-be- cause Doug Fairbanks does, wear English clothes with baggy pants of the 1890 vintage, imitate South- erners by saying, "we all", and rush certain co-eds because others do. In short the imitator lacks individuality. He is like a sheep, never leading, content to al- ways follow, content to remain a second-rater. And so he continues to be one of the innumerable multitude who never rises above mediocrity. He becomes a rubber stamp. Don't be an imitator - or a ruber stamp. Guess Marshal Foch ought to know what a real, peppy Michigan mass meeting looks like, sounds like, and feels like. T he Telescope It Should Not Apply The other day We saw an expression of opinion In a metropolitan newspaper Which seems appropriate at this time When we are wondering Whether classes will be called off On Armistice day. The clipping said That it's a poor war Which doesn't give us a few National holidays. Isn't it the truth? There Must Be Some Reason for This Editor of the Telescope - Dear Sir: Why call them "Freshmen" when any girl knows that they are not half so fresh as the Sophomores? Geraldine. Esteemed Lady: Not being a girl ourself, we hes- itate to answer this weighty question. Perhaps one of your own fair sex will take it upon herself to send us a short but satisfactory response. Yours for individual ideas and a show of some in- tellect. Erm. Quoth EPpie Taff: Here lies our friend Poor Frelerick Roth, He found some chicken In his broth.
