Burton told the legislators Friday
night that certain insinuations of ir-
regularities in the building program
were false. He expressed his denial
in no uncertain terms, with a force
that spoke of months of pent-up in-.
d' nation, for as he .said, "the Univer-
sity has kept its mouth shut," until it
could speak directly to the mon who
might adversely affect the future ofk
the University, should they take false{
disparagement of its character seri-t
ously.
But President Burton did more than<
harangue his audience on ethics of thet
press. He opened a copy of the Con-
piled Laws of the State and read toc
the legislators the building program!

Walter Darnrcch, at a recent con-

with such notables as Sir Basilt
Thomson, Sir Robert Borden, Sir Gil-

There have been international author-
ities on the various arts and sciences,
whose lectures have all been open to
the student and general public.
Michigan is particularly 'favored in'
that she may draw these great per-
sonages to her seat of learning. With
less adequate means to accommodate
their presentations she would lose the{
inestimable value of the immediate
contact with the world and world af-
fairs thus afforded. One or two artists
have remarked that a factor in making
them like to come to Ann Arbor is the
excellent auditorium here. Without
ad'Vantages such rs Hill auditorium the
many things which go to make Michi-
gan more than a mere school could
not exist, and when cultural advan-
tages are not present people seeking
the rea.l culture will go, of necessity,}
to an institution boasting a better at-
mosphere and broader opportunities.
Accordingly, if Michigan is to keep
pace with the times she must do so
by seeing that all facilities are pro-
vided, that no opportunities are lost.
That facilities have been provided in
the past is responsible for the pres-
tige Michigan has gained for the pres-
ent. But one who tries to exist mere-
- ly on a past reputation will find that
past reputations soon fade unless
maintained by a constant progress.

STUDENT COUNCIL REVISIONS
The suggested revisions for the con-
stitution of the Student council are
now in the handis of that body for con-
sideration,,and will be brought up for,
the approval of the Senate council of
the University at its next meeting.
Providing both these bodies accept
the proposed revisions, the student
body will be given opportunity in the
coming spring elections to signify
whether it cares to set up the council
on the new basis indicated by the re-
GOOD) FAITIh
(An Arbor Times News)
President Burton succeeded in at
least one important effort in his talk
to the legislature Thursday evening.
He convinced all of his hearers that
the University of Michigan throughout
the entire period of its building pro-
gram has kept faith with the people
of the state, with the legislature and.
with the state administrative board.
He showed conclusively that the -
University ha begun every building,
has bought every piece of ground at
the direction and with the approval
of the state administrative board.
He showed that of the buildings
begun the dental addition has been
completed, the University has funds for
and has let contracts for the comple-
tion of the engineering shops and
model training school building, and
that it would have had funds for the
completion of the fist unit of the
new literary college building had the
administrative board released all of
the funds dippropriated to the Univer-
sity by the last legislature.
President Burton's addres will
long be remembered by all who heard
it. It was a most earnest statement
of the facts, every one of which was
borne out today during the tour of
inspection about the campus.
Whatever their attitude toward the
University and its irequests or funds,
no member of the legislature who
heard Dr. Burton's address can longer
believe that the University has not
acted in entire good faith in all of its
handling of funds.
And so far as the University's
needs are concerned, the inspection
of the campus gave the visitors first-
hand information of conditions as they
exist today, conditions which could not
have been realized in all their import
except by an actual visit to the cam-
pus.
BACKSLIDING
(Harvard Crimson)
The Gorgon of Faculty censorship
has raised its snaky locks at Ann Ar-
bor; as a result, sixteen members of
fhe Michigan Sunday Magazine have
resigned. The particulars vary with
the point of view. The editors point
to a series of faculty interventions
which made their positions impossi-
ble. A scientific article on gland
transference, approved by a profes-
sor, roused the final outburst which
precipitated their resignations. By
the other camp, this article is describ-
ed as intentionally repulsive and dis-
gusting; and the editor of the Daily,
the superior of the Magazine, is said
to have asked the unruly staff of the
latter to leave.
But this restraint exerted by the
Board in Control of Student Publica-
tions has not been conined to this one
case, or even one paper. In 1921, the -
trenchant exposures of a certiin evil
and irreverent student were forbid-
den in all university publications.
Later an editor of the Magazine was
taken to task severely on account of
a favorable review of that iniquitous,
journal, The Nation. And it is unde-
niable that the editor of Gargoyle was
threatened with expulsion if he con-
tinued to print jokes on prohibition
or co-eds,--which seems to be the one
really judicious bit of censorship ac-
complished by the Board. Extreme
measures were excusable in that in-
stance.
The fact remains, however, that at a
place where intellectual freedom
should be the guiding spirit, a vital
liberty,-freedom c the press-wr;
infringed. No matter what the students
choose to print, faculty censorship
should not be resorted to. Suppression
by government is justifiable only on
grounds of public emergency. In th
universities, no consideration whatso-
ever ought to tak'e precedence over
the unrestricted expression of the stu-
visions.
A rather general public opinion lst
fall among faculty and students alike3
that the constitution of the Student
council provided for a body less ef-
fective than it shouldobe, led to they
appointment py the Senate council of'
a special committee to work with a
special Student council committee for,
the purpose of investigating possibil-
ities for bettering student govern-
ment.
After several' weeks of considera-
tion, during:' which time many stu-
(dents were invited before the com-
mittee in order that their views might
be apcertained, the investigating
committee submitted the report which:
is now being discussed by the Stu-j
dent council.
During the course of the weeks
between now and spring elections,!
students who are. at all interested in1
the welfare of the Univerity and thel
self-maintenance of the student body
should lend their attentions to a close
study of the proposed constitutional
revisions and what they will mean.'
Council meetings are at all times open}
to the student body in general, and
sugg atiom.; from outsiders will be
welcomed by the group.
A thorough understanding of the
situation upon the part of every stu-
-dent is the only road to a satisfac-
tory and conclusive settlement of thez
student government question at Mich-
-gan. Be able to cast an intelligent.
vote this spring.

CONQI'ERINIG HANDICAPS
A blind student at Northwesterna
university, who "sees" with his cheek,
nerves, is indeed an individual worthy
of comment. He recently astoundedl
iany onlookers by going into a
strange room and telling its approxi-
mate size within a few feet. He later
pointed out the location of various:
articles and instruments in the room
while standing in the center of the,
crown. The student explains that the'
air currents in the room told him the
dimensions.
A spectator jokingly remarked that
the blind student would make a goodf
mind reader But he was more se-
riously inclined, and replied, "No, I
want to be a reporter."
Occasionally examples of blind men
who really achieve things in spite of
their tremendous handicap, come to
the public light. Such illustrations
merely establish the point that where
there's a will there's a way. For the,
man who would accomplish things, a '
more serious handicap than blindness,
is difficult to conceive. Yet examples'
are not wanting of men who have
made lasting reputations for them-
selves after having been deprived of
one of their most precious assets. In
an age such as the present, the man
with the indomitable will and a per-
sistent ideal accomplishes his pur-
pose in the face of most discouraging
odds.
The following poem is taken from
one of William Wiggleswords Eliza-
bethan marsterpieces:
There was a Man
Who died from drinking Beer
From an old Tomato Can.
-N ow they say
That Beer can't kill a Man
But an old Tomato
Can.
