Most people listen in on a radio pro-
gram, enjoy it, and . go no further.
One out of two hundred or at the high-
est estimate, out of fifty, actually
takes the trouble to write to the sta-
tion to thank them for their effort.
Yet Station WCBC can claim the uni-
que record of having received more
than one thousand written communica-
tions from the nine or ten programs
they transmitted during their exist-
ence. Using the most conservative es-
timate on the radio listeners to writers,.
this means that more than 50,000 peo-
ple have listened to the radio station
of the Universityd of Michigan.
Hundreds who had hardly - head of.
the University have listenedtd the
details of her thrilling basketball
games, broadcasted by The Daily, have
heard some of her eminent professors
speak, and have felt appreciation,
whether expressed or unexpressed, to
the great University for providing
them with this amusement and in-
struction. They have learned about
the various activities of the campus
through the Michigan Daily Radio
Edition which brought scores of com-
pliments from people in every section
of the nation.
It is not a common sight to see the
University of Michigan lagging in the
rear. Yet this is exactly what she is
doing in the radio field despite the
efforts of members of the electrical
engineering department. They have
fought bravely to place Michigan
where she belongs despite the handi-
cap of limited funds.
At a convention of the National As-
sociation of UniVersity Extensloe 'i~-
rectors to be held this month at Mad-
ison, Wisconsin, t he use of radio for
educational broadcasting will be one
of thebiggest subje'is to be diuss-
ed, according to present plans. Where
is Michigan to stand?
NURT'HWES-TEN'SJU3PUS
T ampusof Northwester uni-
versity is -clained to be in a blaze,
Pacificism threatened to "split the
University wide open' several days
ago, when all the ox-service men df
the Garret Biblical Intitute on the
Northwestern campus attempted to
decide what should be done concern-
I ing the fifty theologues who signed
pledges not to fight for their coun-
try for any reason whatsoever.
Students conferred with President
Walker Dill Scott and the deans. Re-
porters became busy, and an organiz-
ation consisting of 75 prominent
Ovanstonians was formed to combat
the spread of sedition and non-resist-
ance, and to force every student in
I the University to take an oath of al-
legiance.
It seems that Northwestern is not
awake to the proverb that the harder
the fire is fanned the brighter will
burn the blaze. Fifty youths, when
there is even no need for their help
at this time, signed a perhaps mean-
ingless pledge with the result that
the entire campus is astir.
Now the groups will probably re-
sist any attacks against what they.
claim as their views with the conse-
quence of an indefinite continuance of
the blaze. Where the Northwestern
administration erred was in the at-
tempted use of force. What those in
charge should have done was to call
in consultation the leaders of ths
group and have had a general good
heart to heart talk. That is all that
would have been necessary. As it is
the whole situation was taken with
all together too much seriousness and
Imade too much of.l
It is quite safe to assert that should
a test arise for these individuals,their
jwell layed plans for pacificisra would
immediately fly away with the pass-
ing win(]. This affair is merely an-
other outburst common to institutions
of higher learning. They occur every
so often.

CAMPUS OPINION
CHIC<AO'S 1'OPOSEI) C AN.l
To the Editor:
On the evening of March 2Dst, there
was a debate upon th e ubject of the
proposed Chicago Drainage canal.
The writer was niot there, bt:Ilhave
inquired about certain statements
made.-
The negative side statel that theI
operation of the drainage project would
lower the surface.-of the lakes by an
amount of 'six'incl1(ies. 'Te aft!viirtive
side came back viOh the statement i
that the lowering of the lake surface
of six inches wm ld in no wise affect
the opetation of the ships using the ,
lake waterv'ay:. They stated their
reason as follows. "Since all naval
architects are in the practice of de-
signing ships with a clearance of a
yard or more in the channels, six
inches more or less would not affect
their operation through the water-
ways.",
The statement made by the affirma-
tive side is an absurd falsehood. It is
not the practice of designers to allow
a clearance of anywhere near three
feet between the ships bottom and the
channel. They cannot afford to do it.
The depth of the channels in the Great I
Lakes is only 19 feet at the most. In
the design of ocean going steamersl
such vessles as are being built on thej
lakes. between 500 and 600 feet in
length, have a loaded draft of about
30 feet. This is necessary to secure
an economical drive. If the designers
could use a draft of 30 feet the oper-
ators of the ships could reduce their
operating costs, which would reduce
the final price of the cargos, carried.
So it can be seen that with only 19 feet
to go on now, it would be making the
situation worse to decrease our chan-
nels by six inches.
But most people think it would only
involve loading the ships six inches
lighter than they do now, and then
t the difficulty would be overcome. If
such is the case it would reduce the
vessel's carrying capacity by approx-
imately 450 tons. Assuming that the
vessel makes 20 trips,per season, if
would mean that she would be obliged
to lose 9,000 tons of cargo. The price
for carrying iron ore is $.80 . per ton,:
so that the operator would then be, re-
quired to raise the cost of transport-
ing the ore in'order to make up for
his antal, loss- of $7,200.
Th'e operator realizes but 5.3 per
cent on his in stient for a 50 foo
ship,i so that if he was obligef to
stand this loss it would make the opi
ation of his ships unpracticable. Now

This is the average earning of several hundred college men
sciling Fuller Brushes during last summer's vacation period.
The main reasons that influenced these men to become
identified with the Fuller Organization were the rapid growth
of the company, the extensive national advertising carried on
continuously, and the acceptance of its representatives and
its products in millions of homes. The college men who
were attracted to the Fuller Brush Company were men who
were destined to accomplish great things whatever their future
bent might have been. This is because the Fuller Company
dcvelo;ps confidence, courtesy and initiative--the very fac-
tors that every man needs during his college days. As one
of these men says: "I feel that my college education would
not be complete without this summer experience with the
Fuller Brush Company."
This work of fers most remunerative work during the sum-
mer vacation period. Hundreds of college men unknowingly
possess great sales ability. With the training that Ful-
ler gives these men they have been wonderfully successful.
There are many fine territories where we can place col-
lege men this coming summer. You can secure full informa-
