Comstock It was found necessary to postpone the regular meeting of the editorial staff and tryouts which was to have been held yesterday afternoon. The staff will meet at 5 o'clock today in the Press build- ing. THE TRACK FAN'S LAMENT Coach Farell is up a stump. He has been need- ing men for sometime, and he still needs them. The track material is here - we cannot doubt that fact. But so far the turn-out for training and practice is deplorably small. Probably the imminence of the examination period causes many a man of athletic tendencies to absent himself from the gymnasium; probably the argument that work is too heavy serves many as an excuse to stay away from Trainer Hahn, and no doubt a large number are strictly honest with them- selves in taking such an attitude. In this connec- tion, however, we are led to wonder what justi- fication the situation has to offer for itself. We find iembers of all schools and colleges on the campus turning out daily to work on the various publica- tions, to help at the Union, and to do countless other everlasting little jobs hereabouts, and we are just stupid enough to feel that, if these fellows can spare the time to do other than college work, the athlete can also. In fact, we are so cynically in- clined that we would ask just how much time the fast-legged little fellow or the big-boned strong man wastes in lounging, in general meanderings, or in theater rushing. Coach Farrell is up a stump. We do not mean to infer that he has given up, simply because he lacks material. Far from it; "Steve" is not that kind of a man. But we do mean to indicate very strongly that, if Michigan does not turn out and give the coach the material he needs, then something is radically wrong with the whole bloomin' lot of us. OUR UTILITARIAN CAMPUS When the thinkers of thirty years ago suggested the potentialities of the University for immense expansion, little did they calculate upon the vast proportions which the present building program may give to the Michigan of the near future. The enlargement now in process undoubtedly surpasses their fondest hopes. It is possible, however, that in one respect the present plans do not coincide with the dreams oft long ago. Gleaming spires, slender gothics, grace- ful buttresses, and rich carvings, may have soft- ened that picture of the future Michigan, - an' Oxford or a Princeton on a vaster scale. Roman- ticism, atmosphere, inspiration, proper surround- ings for the spiritual uplift of the student may have entered their visions. They thought of college as a place different from the rest of the world. a place where certain chosen few go to lead four isolated years of study and play. But times have changed. Higher education is swiftly becoming the rule rather than the excep- tion, and college, instead of being kept tit a separate tent and labelled "side show", has been incorporated into the main ring of life. Besides this evolution, the twentieth century has brought with it an in- creasing utilitarian viewpoint and a mania for effi- ciency in every phase of existence. The architecture of Michigan's new buildings above all else will be practical. -A uniform plan of simplicity and utilitarianism will greet the return- ing alumnus in years to come. No spires, no curly- queues, no curves of grace, will play upon the emo- tions of the future Michigan student, but instead, square, solid, simple and rational structures will throw conventional shadows before him, and re- mind him that he is in a conventional place of learn- ing, an important unit in the whole of a conven- tional civilization. The realms of the endowed universities, it seems, lie in the romantic; those of the state universities in the rational. Whether or not Michigan's practical building plan is the most to be desired remains a question. But it is gratifying to know that the Michigan of ten years hence will not present the patchwork of varied architecture so characteristic of the present campus. CONDUCIVE TO SWEARING Buzzing drones, incessantly muttering incoherent nothings; ambitious minstrels, banging and twang- ing away at tin-stringed hickeydoodles ; citizens of Utopia, building castles amid clouds of blue, blind- ing smoke - assemble all these in one room, and the absorption of knowledge becomes a truly im- possible problem. An occasional student therefore makes his way betimes to what he considers a haven of rest and quiet, where the muses dwell and scholars feast their souls ; the Rhetoric library. The seat of learn- in, as he enters, is found to be occupied by numer- ous pedagogues. A friendly atmosphere pervades the pinchy room. Instructors and assistants, gaily chattering with one another or with the librarian, and exchanging merry quips among themselves from time to time. A lively argument is begun, and culminates in a long and friendly group dis- cussion. The air is charged with pedagogic pleas- antry. But what of the student, with the curse of edu-. cation following him with unrelenting vigil? Within a short time he closes his books, the contents of which he has scanned perhaps, but has not absorbed, dons his coat and hat, buckles his galoshes, and, with learning tucked away under his arm, stamps out of the room and down the stairs, much to the disgust of the instructors. The seeker after knowl- edge has gone back to the realm of minstrelsy, there to plug his non-essential ears and gaze upon the re- treating muse through a smoke screen. Present efforts, not future groans, are the most effectual bullets to use in puncturing the anatomy of that nine-lived examination bugaboo. If the excess of newspaper scandal evident nowa- days is "any goterion to cry by", it must be almost as dangerous to live indoors in Detroit and Chicago as it is to cross State street in Ann Arbor.

Contest closes at 6 o'clock Wednesday night, February 1st, 1922. A FEW SUGGESTIONS 1. A scenario is the description of the action of a story in its proper order, but not necessarily di- vided into scenes of giving the detailed action. 2. Don't forget that the heart and soul of the scenario is its story. That is the great thing, the essential thing, and the all important thing about the scenario. If the story is a fascinating thing of heart-interest, clean romance, adventure or mystery, then your scenario is good at heart. 3. Stories of a dramatic type are desired. Drama makes a more definite appeal and is easier to por- tray than comedy or farcical comedy. WHAT WE WANT IS AN "IDEA" Something original is the essential thing in this contest - something that is away from the time- worn stories. IT IS NOT NECESSARY for your "idea" to be developed into scenario form-- just simply tell us your story and we will attend to the detail. Safety First Mother: Willie, go out to the ice-box and bring me in some butter. Willie: But ma, I'm skeered o' the dark. I don' wana go out there. Mother: Now sonnie, hasn't Mother always told you not to be afraid. God is everywhere and he won't let anything hurt you. Willie (walks to edge of darkness, hesitates, and then in a sudden burst of reverence): Oh, God! Please hand me out the butter ! -Rosie O Grady.
