If that same intellectul need is felt today as ithas been felt in the past, we can be sure that the renaissance is not over, is not dead. CLARENCE "A man's a man for a' that," said Robert Burns many years ago. And the events of the ages have served to verify his statement. Nothing dis- courages a small boy more than to have his mother dress him up with a lace collar and flowing tie and to hear someone call him "little gil." Reaching manhood, the male retains this resentment upon hearing any doubts cast with regard to his mas- culinity. Full grown men with such names as "Clarence" seem particu- larly outraged when they think of the indiscretion with which their names were chosen. A late report says that "Clarences" throughout the world are going to organize to deliberately show the world how inadequately they were named. The word "sissy" must be ruled out of the vocabulary as far as they are concerned. . This is a commendable spirit. The world respects women; it also re- spects men, but no one respects the latter with the attributes of the former. It is reassuring to know that even though men wear "jazz" suits, and powder their faces with as much care as do the women, they will rise in angry passion at charges of effem- inacy.

'3 ATED ROLLV ZEROTO ZERO WE DIDN'T MISS MUCH "rHOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL_-" I live in hope from day to day That some fair morn Cal will adorn His colyum with my latest lay. And early I do hasten down Two flights of stairs Past darksome lairs Whence snores my footsteps drown- Down past the hissing hall-light's jet Whose modest beams And stingy gleams Fantastic forms and shapes beget. In wind-flapp'd robe outside my shrine, I quickly scan The toasting pan Of Toasted Rolls for one of mine. But all my labors are in vain, (I build on sand- In marshy land), How long to climb those stairs again! Perhaps my rolls aren't crisp enough, Or browned to suit Cal's taste astute; Or else the butter's stale old stuff. I EDITORIAL COMMENT THE COLLEGE PESSIMIST (The Columbia Spectator) The traditional conception of the college student has been that of a happy-go-lucky lad, a typical rah-rah boy. His concerns were few and his thoughts flimsy and shallow and as a result, his thoughts didn't amount to very much. But, gradually, this conception wore off and today the world thinks of the college boy as a serious, pensive sort of a chap, earn- estly contemplating the lot of man- kind. And what is more (whether the freshman has taken advantage of this current notion or not we do not ven- ture to say), he has gone to extremes and is posing as a pessimist, the iconoclast who is satisfied with the powers that be. He struts about the campus with a niorbidness that would make the ghosts of Hamlet blush. Pessimism in an undergraduate-a mere youth who has not yet begun to see life--is nothing more than mani- festation of narrow-mindedness and limitation. Through his little vision it appears that that only is his life which is perceptible to him. And of course his perception at this stage of the game could well stand another pair of glasses. It is merely a sign of ignorance, a confession of being un- able to see the greater whole, but of prating of that minute part of it which he can see. The earth worm, too, is a pessimist. To him his little hole in the ground is the world. The bird on the tree thinks the world is made of twigs and leaves. There may be historical precedents in favor of pessimism-the fact that it MICHIGAN :-: A :4w BOTH STORES LAST EDITION OF SONG BOOK Corduroy Coats $6.50 up. Co.-Adv.

Pierce MONDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1922 DRESSING UP Michigan is going to Columbus ini gorgeous attire. The band was grant-1 ed funds for /a new set of uniforms, and now our cheer leading squad has plaI1 on foot to equip itself in new clothes. The adage that clothes make the man is so old that it must be accepted. But Michigai saw an illustration of its truth last fall when Ohio State visited us. The elegant band uniforms did make their music sound more imtpressive. 'The yell masters' snappy blazers seemed to give their cheers more pep. Well appointed uniforms on those whom we are backing always gives us a sense of security, for one can- not help feeling that there is depend- ability in those who wear them. Onel never expects to see force of char- acter, or sterling ability clothed in rags. The exceptions are too few to invalidate the rule. The confidence thus derived is hap- pily passed on. The spectators re- ceive it from the band and the cheer leaders, and they in turn, pass it on! to the players, who by their improv- ed ncrformance redirect it to its! source. Thus the thing works in a circle, passing its initial point, if it may. be said to have one. It does seem as if our new clothes came just at the time when we need them most.' A LITNG SYMBOL Tou can get what you want in col- lege. That phrase has become a tru- ism. If you want pleasure, you can find it. If you want license, you may have it. If you want technical triin- ing, it is yours for the asking. If you want associations, you have only to make them. If you want culture, you may take as much of it as you are able to absorb. The one requirement is that you know what you want. Colonel George Lyon, of Nelson, Nebraska, knows what he wants. At, seventy-three he has enrolled as a student at Harvard after three years of hard preparatory work. What he wants is knowledge, all the knowl- HIS MASTER'S PRESENCE That men should not take women to Michigan's football games was the theme of a communication published yesterday morning in The Daily. Noj definite statement was made in thei letter as to whether this ban should be applied primarily to students of the University, but it can ie so in- ferred from the suggestion that a sep- arate cheering section be established for the ladies in the case. The main reason given for this al- leged undesirability of -mixing the two sexes at a gridiron contest is "the impossibility of 'serving two mas- ters" at once. The. male student ob- viously is the servant, with the foot- ball team as one master to whom he owes homage, and his feminine charm- er the other. The writer of the com- munication willingly grants his en- slavement to the superior sex. Per- haps the "three or four thousand other men on this campus" holding similar opinions might not quite agree uion this one point. But even granting the .mastery of woman, can this be a sound reason for men not displaying school spirit in her presence? The communication states that "in the presence of a charming Being-when in public, at any rate,-the averag. university man is shyly reticent in the matter of cheering, and positively negative when it comes to individual shouts of en- couragement to the men on the field, because he is afraid that the Being beside him will consider his form poor," , As a matter of fact, a canvass of campus women on the subject has revealed the startling truth that the "Being beside him" is almost quite as interested in the game as he is, and unless he goes home hoarse from cheering and stiff from jumping around, the "Being" is inclined to think a whole lot less of him. She expectshim to be a grown-up he-man with some of the enthusiasms of young manhood, and not a shy, self-con- scious boy who becomes semi-paralyz- ed and ove'ly-backward when in the presence of one of the other sex. Although the remarks above may appear to be slightly facetious, nev- ertheless they have a real serious- ness behind them. The time is grow- ing closer when the men must realize that the women are also a factor in the University, and that their intrest in athletics is scarcely less enthusi- astic than that of the men. If men students prefer to go to games with- out women partners that is their right. But on the other hand if a man does go to a contest in the com- pany of one of the "Beings," he should have presence of mind enough to realize that she is just another student at Michigan, with the same loyalties and interests at heart. And he should cheer just as lustily as he would were he alone. The creating of a separate women's section will solve nothing. Since Robert Frost went back to Vermont to pick peaches on his farm the big question in the minds of his friends at Ann Arbor seems to be "When winter comes will Frost be far behind?" Did you notice the story recently which carried a remark about the "Homoeopathetic school." There was probably no purpose in the error.

Thomas Augustus thinks the same. It's well to have a lofty aim! Thomas Augustus grows elate In thinking of his coming state.

Editorials have been propagated against pessimism and for optimism since the days when the union stone- choppers were in charge of that sort of publicity. It was agreed at that time at a special conference attendedj by Methuselah and the Grand Cabinet of knowing ones, that taking one's self or one's life too seriously was an- other way of raising the death rate at a rapid pace. The first time "thumbs down" was adopted as the official condemnation signal, it was against the human family of kickers later dubbed in most approved Eng- lish style, "crabs." As a matter of fact, all reforms were instituted not by spasmodic kickers, but by cold-blooded and warm-hearted thinkers. History will always tell you that these self-same kickers al- ways got the worst of it. They may have been in the right but they were not in the majority, and the majority. counts.. If its action is unwise it alone suffers. Keeping yourself aloof, at a from the majority; and if you're not with them you're against them. But with many of such kickers, it has been a case of thundering too loud and not saying anything, or, as Emerson put it, that they thundered so loud that you couldn't hear what they said. WHO'S RIGHT (The Daily Iowan) At the dinner table, on the street, in the hall of learning, everywhere we go we hear students arguing. Is a college girl as good as the home -town girl? Are students cheaters and, if so, what per cent. of them? Are our morals advancing or declining. Are men more honest than women? Should you wear a bow tie or a four- in-hand? Students are busy solving these all important problems.

We are annoyed when he insists upon confounding us by a confusion of lev- ers and glasses over which he has an uncanny control. But at the students we can laugh. We all argue; it is wholesome train- ing and fascinating pastime. Besides, there are a lot of these great prob- lems that must be settled, and you can trust the college student to do it.
