A LONGER ENGINEERING COURSE
Again comes the cry that colleges are not practi-
:al enough! This time it comes from men who are
iothing if not practical, the Detroit automobile
nanufacturers, men who are, largely self-made, men
Nhose sheer force and ability forced them to the
front in a new field. And the cry is directed
gainst the engineering school, certainly the most
)ractical of educational divisions.
The fault is, say the manufacturers, that the
raining,is too technical. Too much emphasis is
aid upon theory, upon abstract sciences, upon
>articularities which are in general the opposite
Af the knowledge needed in industry. The need is
or men who are trained in organization, efficiency
methods, production, and similar problems of fac-
ory organization. All this is based upon the claim
hat engineers go into executive positions, positions
Vhich "are not primarily technical in aspect.
But engineering faculty men do not seem to think
hat the present course of study can be any less
echnical than it is. A certain amount of theoreti-
at foundation is absolutely necessary - the engi-
leer must at least be able to read intelligently upon
ny technical subject which may come within his
xperience. The present curriculum would not be
mproved by dropping some of these courses for
thers of a more general nature. The proportion
f required subjects and electives is the best that
an be worked out under the four year plan.
What is really needed is longer course of study.
t is absurd to think that a finished engineer can be
urned out in four years of work, when the medi-
ail profession, the law, the clergy, and lately, den
istry, require from five to eight years of work, es-
ecially when the advance of engineering during
he last two decades is' taken into consideration.
s it is now the engineer spends his four years
mastering the fundamentals of technical subjects,
:aving the wider, broader knowledge, to a large
xtent, outside his field. But the more general stud-
s are valuable, they are almost necessary for the
iodern engineer, and it is inevitable that they will
e provided.
No one can doubt that the less scholarly engineer-
ig profession has suffered in the eyes of society
ecause it can be mastered in a shorter length of
me. The doctor, the lawyer, the clergyman, has
eld a much higher place in public esteem than the
ngineer. This is due partly to awe for a profes-
on which requires more than half a decade in
:udy, and partly to the broader culture of the
en in these professions. Only when the engineer
is a technical knowledge enhanced by a broad gen-
al cbmprehension of affairs, will he take a larger
ace in the life of the community and occupy his
oper niche in the esteem of the public.
JAM THE ETHER
Many months ago - last year in fact - the
niversity wireless was reopened. It cannot be cor-
ctly stated that the set was reorganized. Nor was
renovated. But there are, in the hands of the
gineering department, facilities for the establish-
ment of a real radio set. At this writing "the de-
tail is being held up" due to the impracticality of
operating wireless sets without aerials.
Are steeplejacks conspicuous by their absence?
Or is it funds? Or is it the lack of inclination?
This is the twentieth century. Radio has an ad-
mitted field - and the University of Michigan is
not so independent that it can afford to bypass this
method of communication and extension. Fix the
radio - and jam the ether.
OBNOXIOUS BARKERS
There come times in the lives of organizations
when they find it necessary to fill the coffers of
their treasuries with money solicited from the gen-
eral public. Whenever the cause is a worthy one
the willing public "comes across" and asks no ques-
tions. Recently, however, while our various monthly
publications were offering their wares and our year
book was signing up prospective purchasers, cer-
tain little things have occurred which should be
checked now before they grow in size and corre-
sponding effect.
The reference is to the methods employed by the
salesmen, or barkers, of these organization in sell-
ing. their wares. In general, these campus solicit-
ors have observed the common rules of politeness
and courtesy, but some there were who, when their
pleas were unheeded, would follow any unwilling
purchaser along the walk, pestering him with a ver-
bal attack'of nonsense, and then, if he would not
buy, would hurl mocyTing epithets at him or pass
jocular remarks about "the cheapness of some peo-
ple." Such occurrences are to, be regretted, for
they not only bring into disfavor those solicitors
who recognize the demands of general courtesy and
also cast discredit upon the publications or organi-
zations represented.
Probably these salesmen considered that it was
their duty to act in this manner, and forgot them-
selves in their zeal and devotion to, the cause for
which they were working. Loyalty and service are
always to be commended, but it should never be
necessary to resort to extremes such as our recent
obnoxious barkers have done to realize these aims.
BRING'HOME A FRIEND -
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day.
Many students will eat their Thanksgiving din-
ner at home, with juicy turkey, and "all the trim-
mings". Others will eat their Thanksgiving din-
ner in a boarding house, or cafeteria, where they
will try not to be homesick.
This is your chance to do a humanitarian act.
If you are going home Thanksgiving and you
think there will be room, why not invite one of
these "homeless" friends to share your homecom-
ing?a
It will make him feel as though Thanksgiving
day is really something to be thankful for.

The Climax
Pray, sir, what is the height of pain?
It's not a harsh remark;
It's not the deed of jealous Cain
Inflamed by passioned dark;
It's not the loss of a loved one -
Though that is hard to bear ;
It's not a wound in battle won -
That's but a petty care.
Pray tell me what it can be then?
You prate of all things quite
As if you do not care nor ken.
Please, sir, set me aright. -
The Sage grew grave and thus defined
The term. -It comes to you
When unexpectedly you find
Her lips are painted, too.
r -Zeke.
There is only one difference between a million-
aire and ourself. We are on our first million and
a millionaire is on his second. - Ermine.
Quoth Eppie Ta/F:
Six stories ended
Clarence Copen,
He thought the window
Wasn't open.
He: When did the first piece of clothing origin-
ate?
She: Way back in the garden of Eden. Adam
went out and sat in the sun all day. That night he
came back with a light summer coat.
