the lack of interest in the spring
gamnes. The new council must devise
some means of inspiring a new in-
lerest it traditions are to survive.,
The rooming house situation must be
r".cmcdied. These are only a few ofI
the manifold problems which the Stu-!
dent Council must solve in the 'year3
1924-1925 if we are to consider its
.txperimnental stage entirely past.
I NetEJ RS RO1LASTIC TRACK 1~E:ET
At the opening of the' track season
a,,e'iy' year, we hear the complaint
that 'too few athletes enter com~peti-!
:ion for places on the squad. ' Aj
;mall track team, composed la'rgely
of stars seems to. have, become a ira-
dition at Michigan. In spite of this
Coach Farrell has continued to turn
out successful teams, but any failure
to win in competition has been caused4
by the scarcity of aspirants for the
track honors.l
JDLOSOi
WVe don't know when we've felt
so completely uninspired to our priest-
ly tank. We sit here, our fingers
' poised for action, but no words come.1
A new typewriter ribbon too.-
This melancholy ha~s been coning
on ever since day before yesterday.
It was th~en that we received this
poem' fron y ou~ng lyy, with these .sad
words under his signature. But you'd
better readt them yourself...

GE(}IWE, OSCAR BOWEN
The University Glee clubs have
completed one of the most success-
ful seasons in their long period of
existence as a musical organization.
A large measure of this success is
due to the organization and train-
ing of George Oscar Bowen who as-.
sumed the direction of the cus at
the, opening of the college y*r.
For several years Michigans ;Glee
'clubs have been mediocre, unfit re-
presex t the University m 'sj ally.
Their concerts had degenera d , into
va evile erfor i"iares ,f q e doot-
oblt-wortl This 'seasn has it ess-1

music,,'has °given place -t. the?. c gss-
cal and seipopu ar. The gru~ has
become a chorus 'of talented mtsi ians
'nsteadi of,:a. company of act rs
As a result of t i Worl, th ogan-
. scaion "has" risen from' a positi n of
omparative obscurity, to one o na-
'.o apraninence. ' intering 'fo, the
'rt time in the sectional I tro-
legiate Gle club iiitest' t hiago,
the Glee clubs took second place in
comnpetition with the best Glee clubs
in the middle west. During spring
vacation the longest trip 'in many
years was accomplished with com-
nlete success. Packed houses greeted
the singers at every performance, and
')est of all the rip was a financial
Mccess.
,Perhaps the statement of one of
he officers of the University repre-
:ented the situation when he said
liat the "University Glee clubs had
done more to advertise the University
m the rght, way during the 'current
?ear than any other organization fi
'he campus. To whatever extent this
is true, just so much praise must bel
accorded the work of Mr. Bowen.
A PROBLEI4L OF :CITIZENHIP
In his recent specht on the carpus
Sydney F. Wicks," nglish oveist and
scholar, made a statement tothe ef-
fect that "a nation is not judAed by
what it is doing, but by what its youth
is learning." In the light of this state-
ment it is indeed strange, and in-
compatible with American Intelligence,
that in as great an institution as ours
there is no definite compulsory course
in political science.
Government Is one of the primary
concerns of modern civilized man.
Yet, here at one of the greatest Uni-
versities in America we are confronted
with, a problem. of a dire lac of in-
terest in American government~l fun-
tions. Of the eight thousand students
who were eligible to elect the, course
in political science during, the last
only- emsr onlyasmall. minority
a vailed themnselves of the opp~ortunl-
ity. To all appearances the American
people is one, unconcerned with its
priary function,, that of govern-
ment.
S At present there is a compulsory
course at the University 'which has
5as its aim. the teaching of self ex-
pression. The course is of gener-
I ally recognized value, and the stu-

To those who think they'll find true
Happiness in worldly wealth. f
Please give to me, Sincerity, to guide't
my steps near Friendship's bower. I
I :would possess all Knowledge's best,
that when I have to boardr
That dismal train by Death inspired,1a
I will have the power
To give up true thanks 'ere I set on tot

"Th lat-le'scured"-what canl
he mean? Can lie mean, do you sup-l
p.tose, .that e will write no more<
poetry? Horrid thought!
This last-and we praythat It is
not his last-shows all the old Ivy1
fire, all the old elan; and, too all'
the old sadness and depth of feeling
that marked his work in the hey-
day of his career.
Such a maker of phrases! "clinking
gold,"' "working hard," "true Happ-
ness," "worldly wath," Friendship's
bower,' "that dismal! train by Death
Inspired"-beaners all!
If young Ivy lays down his pen
in this, the pride of his youth, it
will be the world's loss.

The janitor's eyes softened. "Was

CAMPUS OPINION
]1ORI ON THlE KLAN
To0 The Editor:-w
I would like to take issue to the I
article concerning the Klan by J. E11
D., '24. I always question a person's
broad-mlndedness and "~fairminded-
ness" when he makes such statements
as "I am strongly inclined to think,
it is the work of an underclassman
of the mental trend of. the late G.
May I remind this authority thati.
the question of the rite (the burning"
crosses) would be made. clear if ' II-,
would read the Fiery Cross, the' oficl.
paper of the K. K. K. 'it is not
the case of "people say" or "it. is
supposed"-it is the fact ;that tale l
crosses symbolize the Klan order and
"100 per c9nt Americanism." (Even
they do not know what this means).
But the cross with its meaning to
Christian folk is usurped by this sel-
fish and discriminatory organization.
We will grant 'the gentleman that
the question arises-"What is beyond
it all. What' does this unrest sig-'
nify" It signifies that certain people
are dissatisfied with conditions and
would change thenm. But more than
this it signifies that the individuals
concerned believe it'.within their
power and duty to take matters in
hband if they see fit. The average
person realizes that when an organ-
ization takes law enforcement into its
hands that serious problems' ensue.
If it is doubted. that. the K. K. K.
stands for law enforcement, I would
be glad to furnish m'aterial from the-'
Fiery Cross itself, and from authori-
ties who do not deal in "anti-Ilan
propaganda." Such persons can be
found.
E'ven igreiting that conditions
should be changed have we any rea-i
son to suppose that the Klan has the
right to do it in their own way with-
out endangering constitutional law?
The people. of the, U. S. realize that
evils exist bult they believe that such
methods as used by the K. K. K. are
conducive to 'more evils.
May I say that Oregon is but 1 out
of'48. .There are many others in thea
Union .which have not ,fared so well
at the hands of this mnighity and{
damned organization.

act plays by Copstauc ,?Macl~a ye,
"Gretna Green," "A hes of li)SEsa,"
an TeSleLnn, ensaMay 28, in Sarah Caswell Angell Hall.
The program, if you know the author,
is fairly reeking, dripping, oozing in
sentiment, but eve~n honey, when per-
formed after the manner of the Chauve
Souris with a frankly silly and slight-
ly cynical g~ist, becomes thoroughly I
charming and delightful-all the
things that trimn your soul into a
blissful, romantic, naive and innocent
pulp.
The plays are laid in the middle
seventeenth and eighteenmth centuries
--sonmewhere between the two at anyI
rate-and are written in metrical,
lyrical, and very, very, sweet verse.
'The gowns, of course, are of the
powdered wig era, the ladies wear l
pantlets--or is it pantaloons; or pan -'
els? -at least, you understand 'the
figure-and the gentlemen, if there
a~re anry, will 'be in 'silks and satins
and carry jewelled snuff boxes.. In-
cidlently, . there will also' 'be 'a very,j
very- sweet ciostume bill for the ..pro-
