Yost - .- When the freshman subscribes for a campus maga- zine, or contributes to some sort of fund or other, he is not commended by the upperclassmen in his house. On the contrary his elders look at him de- risively and ask he has bought his campus ticket so +far. When the team loses a game the cry is im- mediately poor coaching, or favoritism, and "I told you so." The need today is for a healthier interest and a less superficial analysis of causes, and the one should lead to the other, The great evil is, after all, our disinclination to think, and our tendency to jump at a solution which may be totally wrong, but which will give us credit for actual knowledge through our seeming sophistication. Once we are interested in something outside ourselves we are likely to be willing to analyze it carefully enough so as to reach something somewhere near the real solution. Let's discard this fruitless pose - let's become interested ! MURDERING THE KING'S ENGLISH Last week a foreigner prominent in diplomatic affairs, had occasion to remark that even those Americans who profess the most intelligence fail to speak the English language with any marked degree of correctness. One's first thought is to pass by the remark as being hypercritical. But on reflection and consideration of the statement in view of con- ditions at the University, it can be seen that there is much truth in what he said. It is beyond the scope of this article to discuss the prevalence of slang on the campus. Instead of de- serving the severe "panning" that some of our eld- ers think, this can be upheld because it lends a- *touch of local color to the collegian's vocabulary. But anyone who frequents a few of the favorite student haunts is -a witness to a murder of the Eng- lish language. Grammatical errors are made in abundance by people who profess to be educated and who are attempting seriously to convey impres- sions. Scarcely less offensive and much in evidence is the use or over-use of expressions such as "aw- fully nice", "have got", and similar phrases many of which are no longer actually considered poor grammar, butall of which are either trite, meaning- less, or bad form. The offense in both instances is probably due to habit rather than a lack of knowl- edge as to what is correct and what is not. This is not intended to be a homily on grammar. But, in the language of the bible, what profit it a man if upon leaving the University he takes with him a complete knowledge of foreign languages, anatomy, poker, football, and fussing, if he cannot speak the English language correctly? Michigan is proud of the number of her sons that fought in the World war. Every one of them who is here now should see that he performs his duty to the men who didn't come back - by pay- ing a living tribute in the Armistice day parade. Only two days left to get that uniform ready ! When the committee-man solicits you for the life membership drive, don't hesitate but sign up.

Assistant-Harold - Howlett. - Proof- readers-Robert Tarr, Leland Yost, THE SPICE OF VARIETY It is with a heave of relief that many of us greet the announcement of a Band Bounce to relieve for one night the monotony of a continuous round of equally good movies which make up the seven to eight-thirty's of our college education. It means that there will be a different type.of entertainment in store, a unique collection of carefully prepared musical acts to be presented by members of the student body. The primary reason for the giving of a Band Bounce, however, is not to compete with the screen emporiums or boulevard strolls of the campus at large, but to raise funds to send the University band in support of Michigan's team o a foreign field. The inspiring tones of the "Victors" resound- ing in the ears of our players instils an invincible spirit of "conquer" which months of physical train- ing cannot hope to accomplish. Tonight a Band Bounce is being staged at Hill auditorium to send our music makers to Madison, where the Michigan eleven meets the powerful squad of Wisconsin. The Band Bounce combines a loyal duty with an enjoyable entertainment. For this reason it should not fail in its purpose. Be there! THE POSE OF SOPHISTICATION The revolt of present day youth against estab- lished conventions has provided themes for a num- ber of novels, some poetry, and a great deal of dis- cussion. Originally described as merely disrespect- ful and unthinking, the rising generation is now credited with the distinction of being in rebellion-a rebellion partially spontaneous, partially deliberate. It is certainly a fact that we, the youth of the present, have achieved a freedom far greater than the liberty gained by many a previous generation - whether by our own efforts or not does not mat- ter. It is enough that we have a wider latitude for our actions. But with this disrespect for hoary conventions and established traditions has come an accompany- ing cynical regard for even the highest ideals and principles the race has formerly held dear. The ideal'of fair play has been replaced in many cases by the practical theory of gaining success at any cost. We seem to be thinking more and more in terms of self and less and less in terms of others. And with it all we are not merely unashamed - we sneer at such noble ideals without a blush. We laugh at honor, and service, and self-sacrifice, and we do it unpleasantly. The worst of it is that this cynical, unbelieving view, once merely a pose, has become a habit with us. Very rarely, these days, do we enter into any proposition whole-heartedly and without fear of re- sults. Honest conviction is unusual, and support of a worthy cause to one's own inconvenience or hard- ship is just as uncommon. Even in campus affairs we feel this new attitude. The freshman, coming up from his preparatory school with a realization of the privilege he is to en- F joy and a determination to make tjie most out of college life, feels it instantly. In the rooming house or the fraternity house the atmosphere is the same. ' $5 0buys a brand new Corona portable type- writer. Other makes at attractive prices. See us before you buy.: 0. D. MORRILL Ann Arbor. Mich. MOVED TO OUR NEW LOCATION 320 East Liberty Street F LANDER LOWER 17 Nickels Arcade I I t I The Telescope Some More Snow Snow, snow, beautiful snow, Do be more careful where you go, You float down pure, white and unstained And hit our pavements so well drained. Then my aesthetic hopes you crush By turning into melting mush. It's not your own demise I fret, But more the sopping feet I get; Life would be dry, but simply grand, If on the walks you'd cease to land. Speaking of snow, it is an element which used to be romantically attractive until the time came when its advent signaled the appearance of a hundred fe- male galoshes on the campus.
