EARNING YOUR WAY
(The Purdue Exponent)
Everyone admires and takes off his
hat to a self-made man, one who has
veritably raised himself by his own
bootstraps from comparative obscurity
to a place of prominence and power in
this world. In these modern times the
young man struggling to rmake the
mark and be of real service to man-
kind is beset on every hand by ob-
stacles that sometimes appear insur-
mountable. The theory of the "sur-

THE STORY OF ACTIVITIES
For the benefit of the many stu-
dents who are interested in the stu-
dent activities at Michigan, and who
hesitate to enter these activities sole-
ly becauseof their lack of knowledge
in regard to them and the consequent
uncertainty as to which will best fit
their abilities, The Daily will pub-
lish during the coming week a series
of editorials giving information con-
cerning these various student pur-
suits and the manner of procedure
in trying out for them.
The strong endorsers of extra-
academic activities are legion, and
few indeed deny the benefits wihch
they bestow, provided the student
worker keeps in mind the primary ob-
ject at the University, - the pursuit
of his studies. The experience reaped
in connection with campus activities,
as well as the friendships gained and
the broadening influence exerted, are
among the most desirable factors of
college life:, and amply repay the man
or woman who devotes his time to
them.
But at this period of the year en-
ergy and ambition run high, and with
great things in mind the young stu-
dent often enters one activity after an-
other, with reckless disregard to the
time which he can give each, only
thinking of the opportunities which
await him and of his service to Mich-
igan. Sooner or later this individual
will find to his bitter disappointment
that not only have his scattered at-
tentions resulted in his failure to
succeed in any one activity, but that
his studies have also been seriously
endangered by neglect.
The student who is to accomplish
something both for Michigan and for
himself, will first see to it that his
studies are well cared for. Then he
gill carefully choose the activity, be
it a publication, athletic, drama, or
any other branch, for which he thinks
himself best adapted, and proceed to
devote the time not demanded by his
studies to a whole hearted and uni-
fied pursuit of success in that ac-
tivity.
Just like the sun glass, which has
no power when its rays remain scat-
tered or unfocused, but 'which cre-
ates on intense hat when th sP rauvs
m
ed, but at present, there is little evi-
dence of this danger. Individual
thought is at a premium here as else-
where. The American college man
seems to be content to accept what is
given him, and to say little about it.
College education' has ifnquestion-
ably a broadening eeffct in that it
opens to the student the wide pano-.
rama of the past, but such training
falls far short of its purpose if the
recipient does not use the thoughts
of yesterday with the intention of
better coping with the needs of to-
morrow. Classical antiquity should be
satisfying, but there is no reason why
it should not be stimulating as well.
To use the old in creating the new is
a mark of sagacity, but to make no
use of abilities, inherent or acquir-
ed, is the sign of inevitable stagna-
tion.
THE LECTURE PROGRAM
That old time-tired, thread-bare
apothegm, "Opportunity knocks but
once," we are going to use again. This
time not to point a moral of general
application but to urge the attention
of all students hereabouts to a mat-
ter of immediate interest.
Through the untiring efforts of the
Oratorical association ten men of un-
doubted merit have been secured who
appearing from time to time through-
out the year will constitute one of
the best lecture programs ever offered
at Michigan.
These men profess to have thoughts
that breathe and their reputations as
public speakers also evidence that
they have the ability to give utter-.
ance to-these thoughts in words that
burn. Admission to their lectures is
nominal in price, and each student
should make it his duty and consider
it a privilege to attend them.

NOW THAT they are giving choc-
olate bars with your treasurer's re-
ceipt it makes it rather worth while to
pay the jolly old tuition, doesn't it?
But wouldn't it be nice if, next year,
they would give sandwiches, consid-
ering the length of time one waits?
"No one has kissed me 'against my
our property. No one would scratch
their initials on a chair at home, or
would anyone consider painting num-
erals or defacing the walls of their
house. Let's be more careful and
think twice before we do anything
that is not for the best interests of
our school.
THE PRICE OF JAZZ
(The Daily Cardinal)
Dancing is Wisconsin's greatest in-
door sport.
Every week end night the Latin
quarter shrieks and moans with al
conglomerate conflict of syncopated
sound. Intermittent laughter comes
from fraternity and sorority houses,
temporary temples of jazz.
That's all right. Dancing is mighty
fine sport.
