was a courtesy for which the editors
are very grateful.
Recently, however, certain members
of the student body have criticised
The Daily for, what was called, its
"pandering to faculty control." The
students who so criticse have entire-
ly missed the step upon which all the
things that the Daily considers are
best for the University, for the stu-
dents, faculty and administration
alike, are resting, namely, a sincere
Student-faculty understanding and
working partnership. A strong Uni-
versity cannot be built upon the con-
tinued bickerings of two parties which
should be working toward a common
end. Criticism of this sort is not
only short sighted but willfully negli-
gent of the true facts in the case.

TORLAL POLICIES AND FALSE
CRITICISM
ewspaper policies are generally
itely set forth in the news' col-
s and editorials of the paper and
paper is weak or strong just in
ar as these policies are weak or_
nig. The custom followed by cer-
newspapers of setting their poli-
forth at the head of their edi-
il columns is one method of clear-
any doubt in the minds of the
lers as to what the paper defi-
ly stands for. The Daily, however,
avoided this method, relying on
materials in its editorial columnsl
how definitely what the paper

standing but in the smaller dif-
ties which arise from time to
he Daily considers itself a student
n in which the best interests of
University are to be considered
'e all else. The Daily, amng other
gs, has tried to bring about, es-
ally in the current year, a better
lty-student understanding and
ring partnership, believing that
ceoperation would, in a large
sure, serve to remove many of the
of student uprising by removing
feeling of repression common

REDISCOVERY OF OLD MEXICO
When railroads begin to advertise
tourist travel in Old Mexico as ela-
borately and attractively as they ad-
vertise the familiar wonder-lands of
Canada and our own West, it means of
course that peace and prosperity have
a firmer footing in the Central Ameri--j
can republic than they have had for
many a year. The travel-lover, seek-
ing new lands to explore, could hardly
make a mistake in heeding the rail-
road "blurb" about Mexico.
A varied population which includes
many different tribes of. Indians, sev-
eral thousand Chinese, more Japan-
ese, and whites of Spanish descent,
has brought a great variety in the
outward signs of civilization. There
are modern buildings and old ones of
rich and beautiful design; there are
adobe huts and crude, simple dwell-
ings.
Lying in the tropical and sub-trop-
ical region, parts of Mexico attain a
sufficient elevation to cause climatic
conditions like those of the temperate
and artic zones. Volcanoes and snow-
capped mountains, tropical vegetation
and bleak, barren plains, modern rail-
roads and ancient ruins and archaeo-
logical excavations that are a delight
to those who delve into antiquity, are
all to be' found south of the Rio
Grande.
RAPPING CAMPUS ACTIVITIES
In a recent issue of the Michigan
Alumnus, some statements are made
regarding campus aCtivities upon
which we feel some comment desira-
ble.
"Most students," says the editorial
in the Alumnus, "men and women,
seem to feel that their education is
really not complete -without partici-
pating in numberless so-called 'activi-
ties,' social, dramatic, literary, ath-
letic, and what-not. They bring one--
so runs the popular 'view-into touch
with the hundreds of other student
moths fluttering about in the glare of
University life. But to an observer,
standing somewhat aloof,, it seems
hectic and footless, a negation of the
University and college ideals. It is
all part of that dangerous half-true
epigram that has ruined more than
one promising University career,-
that the most imlportant part of the
University curriculum lies outside the
cia ssroom."
Whie we do not in this place, wish
to take issue with the general theme
expressed by the Alumnus, we feel
that such a discussion is incomplete
without reference to one phase of the
situation neglected by the alumni mag-
azine. We refer to the fact that a large
number of the students participating
in these activities are gaining prac-
tical preparation for the very fields
in which they intend to do their life
work. The literary activities are a case
in point. It is probably safe to say
that far more than half of the students
working on publications throughout
the campus will engage in journalis-
tic or literary work after graduation.
Their work is, in other works, direct
preparation for later efforts.
When the Aluhnus calls such work
a "negation of the University and col-
lege ideals" we believe a grave error
is made. Preparation for some field
of endeavor, even in these unsettled
days, is still regarded as one of the
ideals of a university, we believe.
Therefore the practical experience
gained on campus journals can be
called a direct contribution, rather
than a ngat 13n, it would seem, to one
of the aims of such an institution.
