Many of the favorite college songs
had their origin in the opera music of
bygone. days and even now are re-
membered by a few as they were sung
from the stage of the Whitney theatrej
many years ago. Although the moret
recent productions have not main-
tained Michigan atmosphere, as an es-

to continue the traditional "song be-

Today the doughty warriors of the
Case Scientific school journey hither
for their annual scuffle with the Yost-

A GOOD SHOW
(The Cornell Daily Sun)
Only a passionate hatred of argu-
ment, either as spectators or partici-
pants, seemingly can account for the
utter disdain with which most stu-
dents regard debate, once so flourish-
ing a branch of undergraduate activi-
ty. Time was, as old copies of The
Sun show us, when all seniors, with
scarcely ,an exception, entered the
Woodford prize speaking contest, and
,when debate tryouts were crowded
with Cornellians eager to display
their forensic ability.
Clearly, those times are gone, and
we are now in a period when a pal-

toward debate, should at least in this
instance, be changed to one of gen-
erous support and hospitality. The;
former attitude is well-nigh icon-

the placing of debate control ,here in
a very few hands, from which, it ap-

The swimming pool campaign whicl
has been again opened by Chime
makes a.very pointedi appeal to eac]
particular student or the University
For several years the absence o
swimming facilities at ,Michigan ha,
been the subject of criticism bot]
from the student body and the alumn
of the University and from the stu
dents and alumni of other college
and universities.
Students who have been at Michi.
gan for one year or longer do not nee(
to have the disadvantages of this lacl
of swimming facilities pointed out t
them, and, for that matter, they ar
too obvious to need expounding t
anyone. The quality of our swimming
team is impaired by lack of a pool
and students, with an inclination fo
swimming, and there are severa'a
thousand at the University, find ni
place to develop. Other schools,
great deal smaller than Michigan hav
one or two pools. ~
The futility of expecting aid from
alumni or friends has well been es
tablished in the drives for fund:
which failed so dismally during the
past three years. It is now up to th(
student body to get behind the move
