Kaver Proofreaders-R. M. Loeb W. B. Butler 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 Telescope 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.
