A CHANCE FOR FRESHMEN
The class of 1926 is showing a
marked apathy towards enrollment in
the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
Barely enough men have enlisted to
replace those who graduated last
year, and as the growth of the R. 0.
T. C. is determined largely by the
number of freshmen who enter, it be-
hooves first year men to take cog-
nizance of the special advantages
which mebership in the corps af-
fords-
Any frshman who enrolls now will
have a chance to complete the course
and secure his commission without
extra work. If he waits until his
sophomore or junior year he will not
have this opportunity Because of the
fact that University credit is given
for military work, a man can fit him-
self for a position in the R. O. T. C.,
where he can be of the maximum
service during time of war without
any more labor on his part than the
securing of a similar amount of cred-
it in other scholastic pursuits would
entail.
As 75,000 college men throughout
the country are now taking this
training, the progressiveness and pa-
triotism of an institution might well
be judged by its enrollment in the
R. O. T. C. The corps at Michigan
is handicapped because the class of
1926, through procrastination or some
other cause, has failed to take ad-
vantage of the unusual opportunities
offered. What is the matter with our
freshmen?
THE ALL-SPORTS QUESTION
One of the things the proposed
Conference All-Sports; championship
would help to bring about would be
a greater interest in minor, and a
corresponding lessening of the em-
phasis on major sports. These things
would naturally follow from a point
system .which would grade a schdol
partially for its success in athletics,
and partially for theextensiveness of
its athletil system It would accom-
plish this by granting credit points
according to the success of the par-
ticipants in each sport and by grant-
ing points also merely for entering
an9 recognized form of competition.
This would mean that each school
would attempt to make a showing in
practically every branch of sport,
which implies that some of the in-
terest now concentrated on major
sports would be naturallf diffused
over a wider field, including minor
sports.
The very fact that major sports are
so immensely popular has subjected
them to attack from prominent edu-
catars by the score. These may have
some justification.
At any rate, the public interest in
football, baseball, and basketball has
meant the practical eclipsing of inter-
est in swimming, wrestling, or soc-
cer. But minor sports open a field
of en leavor to a number of men who
are not fitted for major sports. Their
encouragement means a closer reali-
zaton of the "Athletics for all" ideal.
All'of which is by way of asking
again, "Why not .have a Conference
All-Sports Championship?" Can there
be any answer?
THE PRESS CLUB
The University Press club, which is
holding its first regular meeting to-
night should be warmly supported by
students and prospective followers of
journalism for one reason especially.
The success of the Press club, which
was organized last year, means that
students can have the opportunity of
meeting the men who have become
leaders in the newspaper world. These
men come to the club meetings and
tell their experiences and ideas in-
formally to the members
They should furnish the best pos-
sible answer to students who are
asking themselves: What sort of men
would I find in the newspaper pro-
fession? Do my ideas run along the
same channels as theirs? Would I
be happy in their field of work? Hun-
dreds of students have asked them-
selves these question The Press club
will provide the anwer for many

EDITORIAL COMMENT
RESULTS
(Tle Purdue Exponent)
After spending three years in the
university, a senior begins to wonder
what benefits he has received from
his course aside from the technical
knowledge necessary to follow his
profession. Being surrounded by con-
genial associates adds a polish and a
fineness of iianner the value of which
is inestimable, but an anlaysis of the
three years' work shows the result
that should be. most highly prized is
the character building and a training
which proceeds step by step with the
advances in the classroom.
The years spent at the university
tend to draw out the natural talents
of the student, because in the varied
curriculum offered he will find, some
subjects that have a strong appeal
and which will give him opportunity
to develop and to specialize in a par-
ticular work. In the preparatory
years the student is compelled to fol-
low the leadership of an older, ex-
perienced person, and in a small meas-
ure this is true in college, but for
the average man or woman, a uni-
versity course of four years points
the way to a specialty in which the
natural tendencies of the individual
will have the greatest field for ac-
tion and development The student
"finds" himself, gets a new estimate
of his own powers, and a stronger
degree of self-reliance.
liance.
In order to stay in the University, a
man must measure up to the stand-
ard set, and his continual struggle
to attain and aurpass this mark is a
process of character building. The
consistent accomplishment of work
well done produces confidence, sta-
bility, and shows him to be dependa-
ble. He is introduced, in a measure,
to work; and in the same manner, is
given a taste of pits rewards. The.
purpose of the University is to pre-
pare men for the battles of life, and
the nearer a man gets to the end of
his course, and to the big "Com-
menrement"_ in the world, the more
he realizes the necessity of a string-
ent course of study such as has just
passed through.

AN UNFAIR METHOD
The position of cheerleader is one
of considerable importance, both be-
cause of the scarcity of men who are
able successfully to. handle the work
and the effect which his influence has
upon the spirit of the rooters at a
game, and in direct sequence upon
the team itself. Consideringrthese
factors, the choosing of the present
cheerleaders seems to have been car-
ried out in a, manner not quite in
keeping with the importance of the
position.
As ommittee of five men was se-
lected by the Student council to judge
the tryouts during the game last Sat-
urday. Of these men, however, two
were members of the football squad
and could hardly be expected to make
well-we ghed judgments during the
time the two teams were on the
field. This arrangement left the
choice of cheerleaders in the hands of
three students. Obviously, it is un-
fair to both judges and tryouts to
provide that the committee of so
snall a number decide upon the qual-
ifications of fifteen men leading
cheers, in the course of one contest.
ilow these judges arrived at their
decisions is a matter of conjecture,
since no scoring cards were issued to
furni sh acommon basis on which to
build conclusions. Even though some
sach system was employed, however,
it is extremely unlikely that any just
determination of the best men could
be accomplished in so short a time.
There is little doubt that the cheer-
leaders chosen for the coming year
will be satisfactory, but granting this
it will be in spite of the method of se-
lec .ion rattier than because of it.
Ohio State has realized the value of
effliient cheerleaders, and as a conse--
quence she has adopted a thorough
system for testing their merits. For-
ty timyouts are competing for places
on the Ohio State cheering squad.
These men turn out every afternoon
and practice. They are furnished
flood. After forty days of freshman
weather the flood stopped, so history
sayn. But recent excavations for
the new physics building prove that
it was really caused by a lapse of
Noah's memory during which he for-
got to turn off the water in the bath-
room.
At any rate the entire world and
Washtenaw county was completely
covered with water, leaving only the
top of West Hall protruding above the
rippling surface.
Noah awoke early in the morning
on thb Sunday following Saturday
night and seeing nothing but water,
suspected a flood. Then he got out the
family canoe and, taking the wife and
family pets (a couple of each), set
sail.
The water was too deep for him to
get into his cellar, hence the saying'
"Water, water everywhere, but not a
drop to drink." After they had gone
as far as Barton Damn they saw a
hill. So they got off and played golf
until the flood got tired and went
home.

ENFORCING THE RULE
(The Daily Illini)
Intead of retracting the battered
summer basebal rule, the council of
coaches in the Big Ten has determin-
ed upon a policy. of strict enforce-
ment. They came to an understand-
ing that they would make a concerted
attempt to exclude players ineligible
under the provision. For the first
time, they have pledged themselves
not to consider the coach who reports
violations as an "informer", but to
accept his evidence for the good of
the sport.
We do not believe that the summer
baseball rule should stand, we believe
that the Conference will retract it
within the next three years How-
ever, therule remains, and now that
there has been some fidelity pledged
to its enforcement, enforcement must
be the word
If the summer baseball rule is to
stay on the books, and if it is to ae-
complish what those who foster itbe-
lieve it will, it must be carried out
indiscriminately and with emphasis.
There must be a general house-
cleaning throughout the Big Ten
which will. quiet a few of the gal-
loping rumors that half the players
on some teams are ineligible. Per-
haps these reports are exaggerated.
But they are too recurring not to be
founded upon some fact. The sum-
mer baseball rule declares war on
the men who accept pay for playing
baseball during vacation.
THE- )IDNIGHT HOUR
(Columbia Spectator)
Midnight sessions are among the'
most e ijoyable e'xperiences in col-
lege life. No classroom discussion
can possibly take the place of the
friendly, rambling, soul-revealing sort
of argument that most of us carry
in our memories as the choicest part
of our undergraduate days. Count
not that time lost which is stolen
from studies and dull, profitable edu-
cation, to drag discussion through
interminable windings while the room
is filled with the atmosphere of phi-
losophy and blue tobacco smoke, and
the hands of the alarm clock, which
is to ring at 7 a. in., slowly move
around to 4 o'clock in the morning.
This is the time when friendship
is tested, when toleration and fair-
mindedness are taxed to the limit,
when Utopian schemes are advanced
to reform religion, college, college
politics, or the social system. That
is the time when generous or im-
practicable impulses have full sway,
when man meets man without his de-
ceivin mnak of manner and custom.

DISCUSSION GROUPS
With the organization today of
freshmen discussion groups, sponsor-
ed by the Student Christian associa-
tion, an institution is being estab-
lished which will fill a long-felt need
of entering students.
The new student on the campus,
confronted by the problems of Uni-
versity life, is frequently at a loss as
to the proper attitude he should take,
as to just what reaction towards his
new surroundings will insure his get-

preparation for his future. The plan
underlying the organization of fresh-
