HOEY START TONIGHT, '26 Tonight is Traditions Night. To the \freshmen assembled in Hill auditor- ium a member of the faculty, students, and an alumnus will talk upon the subject of Michigan, upon the Uni- versity which the first year men have just entered, and about which they are. desirous of learning. They will be told of the traditions of Michigan as a whole, of loyalty to Michigan, and of pride in Michigan. If the freshman class is to become a worth while factor in the University life, it must learn this lesson of mem- bership in the entire institution. But along with that lesson should go an- other one almost equally as impor- tant, the lesson of pride in one's own class as integral part of the whole Michigan. Practically all the troubles of fresh- men in the past have come from a lack of class pride. Certain men have looked with disdain upon their fellow claiasmates. They have consdered themselves. too good to be frehmen, that it was beneath their dignity to' abide by the rules governing their class.° The freshman class is but one stage In the four years of existence at col- lege, a period through which all those who wish to be graduated must pass. In the regular'order of events a class enters the University together, and later on passes from it together. If a man is proud of his class as a junior or senior, why is he not just as proud of its as a freshman? The same men- hers comprise it, the same strength or weaknesses characterize it. If this feeling is harbored by fresh- men, the rules they are asked to obey will cease to seem mere attempts upon the hart of sophomores and up- perclassmen to humiliate them. On the other hand they will take on their real significance as a means for stamping students as first year men, so that they may be thrown into each other's company constantly, and form associations which will carry their class throughout the University as a RETURN OF ROBERT FROST The announcement of the renewal of the fellowship which will enable Robert Frost to return to Ann Arbor for- another year may well create en- thusiasm among the faculty and stu- dent body. It indicates the success- ful fullfilment of the primary pur- pose for which he was brought to the University, that of causing students to think and to understand life through the eyes of a poet. Last year certain eastern cynics mocked the idea of a poet's being paid $5,000 a year for doing nothing. But being placed in the anomalous position of working according to his own mental dictates, Robert Frost found doing nothing a harder task than he had bargained for, one that oft- en required fourteen hours a day of his time. He quickly became the nucleus around which the intellectual life of the campus was built, and students profited by personal contact with him. But so many demands were placed ution him by students and societies, that he was unable to write a line of poetry the entire year. The fact should be remembered that Robert Frost has been bestowed with a scholarship by the University in or- der that he may benefit by the influ- ence of the campus surroundings as well as because of the benefit which the student body may derive from his presence. For this reason, it might P7e well this year to allow the poet a little more time to devote to his verse, the creation of which is after all his highest and most useful pur- pose in life. COMMERCE CLUB The contemplated expansion of the Commerce club and the proposed change in its organization is of inter- est to the large and ever-increasing number of students who are following the study of business administration. The Commerce club aims to keep students in touch with the business world through the practice of bring- ing in from time to time prominent business men to address the club. In addition it endeavors to place grad- uates of the business administration course in desirable positions where they will have every opportunity to make good. Some sort of formal connection with commerce clubs in other cities is be- ing considered.' Such a union would no doubt increase the ability of the club to help students in a material way. Unlike other students in the technical schools, commercial stu- dents have little lnowledge before graduation as to where they will work or what sort of work they will do. Many have difficulty in find- ing jobs with promising futures. If'ethe icommerce clubs of various cities were united in the cause of placing the best trained men in the most responsible positions, the re- sults would benefit both industry and the students. JUMPING SPACE A liberal allowance Is no longer a prerequisite to following the teani on its trips around the country. The installation of an electric football score board in Hill auditorium will enable all Michigan students to watch every football game which is played on foreign fields. The board is a miniature football field. It reports the game, play by play a few seconds after each maneuver is completed on the field. The' value of the board lies in two things, the number of people who can witness the contest without leaving town, and the ease and speed with which the machine itself can be oper- ated. The apparatus is electrically controlled, and one man only is need- ed to manage it. The dimensions of the piece are eleven by fifteen feet. The ball is shown in motion, and the audience is informed by a systen of lights of the play used, the man who carried the ball, and the number of yards gained. By permitting a larger number of people to -witness contests, much of the false rumor that circulates on such occasions will be precluded. The campus will be brought into a closer relation with the team, and a better spirit will result. No doubt, the team itself will be benefited by the closer link with the student body when it is away from home. Considerable ap- preciation is due to, the alumni of Michigan who have enabled her to own such an ingenious device. MATTY A real athletic-hero who plays the game on the square is not quickly forgotten by the American public. Christy Mathewson is perhaps the greatest example of an athlete who has commanded no end of admira- tion, and whose praises are still sung although he has 'not -played baseball for several years. There have been many excellent pitchers who stand out in relief for their athletic skill. But Mathewson has remained the idol of idols among baseball fans. They like his game- +,C...

Here on our campus, we find, MIHI GAN SO NG BOOK upon THE BOOTLEGGER'S DAUGHTER A Tragedy Oh list to a bootlegger's daughter, The most fair of a family of eight, Who was raised on all hootch and no water; Oh list to the tale of my fate. My, father made moonshine the clearest That has ever been seen near this spot; And I loved him and called him "my dearest", The law-breakin', keg-swillin' sot. But I see men are not to be trusted, And the thought of it's driving me wild, When I think what that bleary-eyed cuss did To his own girl-a bootlegger's child. One night he brought out some new moonshine, At least that's what he said it was; It was clean, like that stuff that you wash in, But I risked it and took a good "guzz". Now I'm only a bootlegger's daugh- ter, And there's not many things that I know, But I can tell whisky from water, And that moonshine was plain H20. So I fainted, what else could a girl do On drinking a liquid like that? And I thought of the depths that I'd fell to. Then again I fell, drunk as a bat. A doctor was called, and for hours To fix up my illness he tried, But I didn't respond to his powers, entering school, that a certain set of traditions were laid down before us, and because it is a "Michigan Tradi- tion" of the past, we abide by it. The men that started traditions were hu- man, as we are now, and they thought :.: A T -: RA AMS' up a lot of wise things to make the incoming freshmen realize that he has restriction. That's a good idea, let's not let them think they are "someone" so let's all combine and make the class of '26 do as we did, but in addition, why should a fresh- man be allowed to wear "knickers" on the campus? Why smoke cigars on the campus? Why not make them wear a red tie outside of their coat? They would be more conspicuous then and maybe they would realize that they're only freshmen after all. Suggestions to the Student council of the above type.'ought to be appreciated by them and acted upon. We don't have to stick to past ideas entirely. How about the. future freshmen, let's make them stick to some of the things we say. Hazing is of the past, we're doing away with that, so let's get up something new. It may be humiliat- ing to the "green" ones but humorous to the "old". Yours truly for better "Michigan Men". C. N., '24E.

POLITICAL VOLCANOES (The Daily Cardinal) From the misty recesses of yester- day has ben resurrected an ancient ordinance whose few terse sentences bid fair to stir the campus to its very depths. Within this long lost legislation lies a germ that may grow and expand to a magnitude which will hold the college world spellbound. The Student Senate has discovered a ruling that upon petition a class meeting may be called and that at that meeting candidates may be required to appear before their fellows and orate. Once again Music hall may reverberate with the plaudits of the mob as a gifted speaker ends his plea in a burst of oratorical fireworks. Imagine, the far reaching results of this political find. Who knows but that history may be made; who knows but that the famed Lincoln Douglas debates may fade into oblivion be- fore the blasting rays of a debate between two aspirants to class pres- idencies. Picture a meeting in 165. An im- patient restless mob, then the per- suading, enthralling voice of a would be Prom chairman, and the audience becomes quiet, held by the speaker's magic. Suddenly a co-ed springs to her feet, "Who are you going to take to the Prom if you are elected?" she demands. The candidate falteis; he is not ready to meet that vital issue. Bedlam breaks forth. He tries com- promise, but it is too late, and with I bowed head he leaves the platform, a broken man. Consider the spectacle of State street, unromantic State street, blaze up forth in the glory of a torch light procession; for when political frenzy is fired by the impassioned voice of man, it knowsno bounds. The magnitude of the picture is thrilling. We wait, eager and expect- ant, for the re-birth of political ora- tory, which has so long been dead. THE CANE RUSH (The Ohio State Lantern) When the crack of the gun Friday afternoon opens the annual cane rush between the freshmen and sophomores both classes should have a full rep- resentation of their men on the field. This contest between the classes is the only struggle in which everyone can participate and supplants the old- fashioned hazings of which one used to hear so much, but which is rarely seen in the present-day university. For this r'eason every male member of each class should -be present to engage in the battle royal. Twenty minutes of rough-and-tumble in old clothes will harm no one, and after the contest the man who took part will have the feeling of satisfaction that comes from knowing that he has done what he could for his class. The socalled class fightis harmless. It affords amusement for the upper- classmenwho throng the stands and recall their scrimmages of recent years. It entertains the downtown folk, who always travel 'to Ohio field to see the annual tussle. Tradition is satisfied by the holding of this annual battle-between the two lower classes, which are supposed to cherish bitter enmity toward each oth- er. After the battle, the classes re- sume their amicable relations which Start Right 'With a Good Hat! We do all kinds of HIGH CLASS. Cleaning and Reblocking of hats at low prices for GOOD WORK.
