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 0ASRD RQLL AND COFFE E IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED- In botany I study hard, And learn astounding things; The age of trees I now can tell, By counting all their rings.

I OUR EMBALMED OUTLINE OF THE WORLD'S HISTORY II: The Flood 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.

BYERS 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. Don't miss our next install-'- ment! Cleopatra and Mark An- tony will be taken care of pres- ently. LUKE WARM.

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. The O. & H.
