When the expense of keeping, this, pastime going became too great to be borne, producers sought relief in soft-pedalling the "star" and putting the director in the foreground. Even this proved too expensive. From all indications it would seem that the Amer- ican public is tired of being experimented upon. They demand value for their money. American producers, haunted with the fear of the ever in- creasing number of well made foreign films, dare not resist their demands. Some cinema owners have begun to see the light. At Universal City the em- ployes (an actor is an employe now) must punch the time-clock. No longer can thousands of dollars be squandered merely to give an "effect". Already the ranks of the motion picture producers arebe ginning to thin out. It is now a case of the sur- vival of the fittest. The time of "easy graft" in the moving picture business is about over. It is an encouraging sign. FEDERAL EDUCATION Evidently the new president of Illinois, Dr. Davis McKinley, has no sympathy with a federal depart- ment of education. "Education is not one of the matters delegated to the federal government by the constitution," he said in his inaugural address. "It is a state function." In another statement he says that the principle that the state should match federal appropriations with equal amounts is "vicious". "This plan contains within itself the germ of a power that when developed will determine the char- acter and extent -of our education." That the national government is encroaching on the powers of the states has been admitted. A gov- ernment of states is more or less unstable, even when changes in such a government are limited by a written constitution. It is in vitable that either the nation as a nation, or the states as states, must have predominating power. And in the United States the tendency is toward the predominance of the nation. It is a logical conclusion that if the states do not fulfill their function of education prop- erly, something must be done to insure education in spite of them. A democracy must educate its cit- izens, there is no doubt of that. There is perhaps some danger in federal control of education in that crystallization instead of prog- ress might be the logical result. But the bill ex- pressly states that the act is not to be construed as requiring conformity in the course of study. In- deed the law does not seem to be aiming at control at all -it rather seeks to encourage the states in providing education by aiding them with national funds. Certainly there is still much to be done in the line of educational research and investigation. This the federal government could well undertake, for a somewhat similar manner the department of ag- riculture has proved itself of immense value. On the basis of this usefulness alone a department of education could profitably be established. "What's in a name?" is no joke at the Univer- sity of Nevada which has more long nick-names for its athletic teams than it can use, but which has been forced to go in quest of a short one that fits better than "Sagabrushers" or Sagehens". The Telescope The Lady of the Lake (Pardon, Sir Walter) The rain had poured down all the day It poured and poured to our dismay; Across the campus slowly walked (It seemed as if by rain unbalked) A co-ed, galoshes buttoned high, Defiiant twinkle in her eye. Until-she stopped short and did stare- A campus pool stretched 'fore her there For aye, it stretched nine yards or more No isle was there twixt shore and shore. But still the maiden, undismayed Walked on again, began to wade! Another step I saw her take, Quoth I "The Lady of the Lake". - Vee Dee. I. RED"UCTIONS ON ALL IUis - -R ....m A T ...

LAST YEAR'S FACULTY LOSS As the University begins the year of 1922 two familiar figures are noticeably absent from the fac- -ulty ranks, men best known to the medical profes- sion perhaps, but respected and admired on the other corners of the campus as well. At the last meeting of the Regents the resignations of Dean- Wilbur B. Hinsdale and Prof. Willis Alonzo Dewey were regretfully accepted. The withdrawal of these men from active teach- ing at Michigan cannot help; but cause a feeling of distinct loss. For nearly thirty years both have worked side by 'side in the Homoeopathic Medical school giving their best to prepare Michigan's grad- uates and make the University pre-eminent in that science. Dean Hinsdale began his work here in the early nineties, became dean of the Homoeopathic Medical school in 1895, and served in that capacity for more than a quarter of a century. Professor Dewey's record is only six years shorter than his colleague's, as he came in 1896. Besides his pro- fessional activities he has done a large amount of literary work along medical lines as editor and au- thor. By accepting their resignations the Regents have given each of these men a period of rest earned by years of untiring service. Unfortunately the acts of those concerned has been misconstrued by met- ropolitan newspapers as a sequel to the Medical school merger. Such a suggestion is without basis in fact as Dean Hinsdale has been attempting to withdraw for some years. It is only because of an appeal made long before the merger agitation be- came acute that he consented against his personal wishes to retain his leadership as long as he did. In view of what these men are and what they have done for Michigan reflections of this nature are en- tirely out of place, serving only to cloud unfairly the careers of great teachers for whose efforts the campus and alumni feel the profoundest gratitude. THE MOVIES PUNISH THE CLOCK Fanny Hurst, according to the New York Times, interrupted a private showing of a motion picture version of her novel "Star Dust" with the declara- tion that the picture was "cheap and tawdry" and that she would "do her utmost to prevent her name and the title of her novel being used in connection with its public appearance". Fanny Hurst's rebellion may prove to be the proverbial "last straw". For some time the storm clouds have been gather- ing. The movie producers have been anxiously looking for indications of "what the public wants". First, it was the star system. One bright producer conceived the idea of playing up the "star" and was promptly imitated by his brethren. Soon it became a race as to which manager could offer the most -- I hu . a Ari 4:4 ni. a.~ I p.n 19; 21 ' in. ar I i fac at in ro . 17, ro 1 19 DETROIT UNITED LINES Ann Arbor and Jackson TIME TABLE (Eastern Standard Time) etroit Limited and Express Cars - 6:oo , 7:oo a. m., 8:oo a. in., 9:oo a. m. and rly to o :os p. im. ckson Express Cars (local stops of Ann or), 9:47 a. m. and every two hours to ocal Cars East Bound-5:55 a.m., 7:00 a. and every two hours to 9 :oo p. mn., t 1.00 To Ypsilanti only-iux:4o p. m., 12:25 n. : is a. in.
