So far improvement campaigns such as recently held at Illinois and Ohio have been unnecessary here. The burden has been distributed the easiest way by carrying over a sur- plus each year, and unless the Athletic association changes its present policy, future additions will be taken care of in the same way. That we are getting off, easily under the present- conditions here as compared with elsewhere is shown by a reference to rates at other Conference schools. The following figures are for the season of 1920-1921. At Illinois athletic books costs nine dollars; at Chicago, ten dollars; at Iowa, ten dol- lars ; at Ohio, eight dollars without basketball games ; at Wisconsin, seven fifty ; and at Minnesota, seven dollars without baseball. Michigan's fee is six dollars without basketball, and because of the relation between the size of the gymnasium and the student body it is a physical impossibility for each student to see more than two games a season if he goes only in his turn. An increase in the cost of things is always hard to take but if all the angles to the admission situa- tion are considered it is hard to escape the conclu- sion that the plan adopted by the Regents is only fair and reasonable.

Isbell THE ADMISSION SITUATION It is only natural for members of a student body which has during the past enjoyed the privilege of admission to all the University athletic contests of the year at a blanket price, to become concerned when the announcement is made that one sport has not been included in the bill of fare for this season. On its face, to some, this omission smacks of injus- tice. But a consideration of the facts, both in connec- tion with athletics at Michigan and elsewhere, gives the decision of the Regents in charging extra for basketball games a different complexion. The first thing about the situation which might easily be overlooked is the rise in the cost of athlet- ics that has taken place in recent years and its rela- tion to students' fees. The rate charged this fall for membership in Mihigan's Athletic association was just one dollar more than the amount fixed in 1912. In the meantime tuition here, which in 1915 was forty-nine dollars, has increased to ninety-two. At other schools it has increased more, in many cases, having gone up two hundred and twenty-five dollars at Leland Stanford, and one hundred dollars at Johns Hopkins, Pennsylvania, and Harvard, be- tween 1914 and now. The same causes that have been working to necessitate higher tuition fees have increased the cost of college athletics. In this ac- tivity expenses are no longer at the 1914 stage. For example footballs that then retailed for five dollars are now more than ten; the old one-and-a-quarter baseball now costs two-fifty; and all along the line sporting goods have practically doubled in cost. 'Railway fares, which make up an important item of expense, are more than one and a half times what they were in those balmy days. Hotel bills and the rest have increased in proportion. The cost of main- taing athletic teams is vastly different now as com- 'pared with he time when the five dollar blanket fee was established. It is also worth while to note that when this min- imum was fixed basketball admissions were not cov- ered by it. This game was established as a Varsity sport in 1917- and admissions to it were "thrown in". No increase in the blanket tax was made. Since then the game has been carried on at an annual loss. As is usually the case in collegiate athletics, foot- ball has been standing the losses incurred by other Michigan sports. It is our only paying sport, as is illustrated by the fact that during the 1920-1921 season basketball ended with a $7,ooo deficit, base- ball ran approximately $5,ooo short, and track was a loser by $13,000. Furthermore the gridiron sport must pay for the upkeep of Ferry field, which is generally considered as well kept as any other in the country, and which, like a good golf course, takes a lot more money to maintain than might be imag- ined, costing about $I5,ooo annually. It is true that even after these items have been de- ducted, a surplus remains, yet whatever is left over FAME That Michigan sends her sons into many fields of achievement has ever bean a source of pride to the University. Yet in the recent popular selection of Michigan's six most prominent alumni, conducted by the Michiganensian, the result was surprising in the variety of careers which the winners repr- sented. Business and politics furnished Edwin Denby, '96, who gained the largest number of votes in his capacity as secretary of the navy under the present administration. Next in the popular opinion was James Rowland Angell, '90, of the educational sphere, recently inaugurated president of Yale uni- versity. There followed Dr. William James Mayo, '83M, who has achieved universal recognition for his advanced surgery, and Harry M. Daugherty, '8L, representing the law profession as attorney- general of the United States. The last two notables selected are considerably younger than those with whom they have been classed, and are engaged in still other fields of work. One, a professional baseball player, may to some .seem unworthy of a place alongside his col- leagues who have risen in the more firmly estab- lished professions. Nevertheless, the athlete has succeeded in the pursuit which he chose, and the name-_of George L. Sisler, '1 5E, ranks among the foremost players in baseball at the present time. Journalism contributed the sixth prominent alum- nus on the list in the person of J. Avery Hopwood, '05. In the field of light drama this playwright is perhaps unexcelled, 'and he last year held the record of being the only writer ever to have four success- ful products of his pen playing on Broadway at one time. Not everyone can enter into the same pursuit, just as not everyone can be president of the United States. The world requires a myriad of different activities to be supported in order that man may continue to live. For this reason it is not so much the attaining of the highest positions which counts as the achievement of success in that towards which one sets out. The men who have been chosen as Michigan's most prominent alumni have realized this success. There are hundreds of other notable sons on her roll of honor, but it is gratifying to note that the six winners represent as many different activities in life.
