CAMPUS OPINION
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
Behold the spectacle--some seven to
eight thousind men students and fac-
ulty membefs of the University stand--
ing-about sucking their thumbs!
Can you imagine anything more ri-
diculous? For four year the Mich-
gan Union swimming pool has lain
dormant and the student body has
remained. passive, too passive to ob-
ject to the situation or to try to rem-
edy it.

circuses are the big all-student events'
of the year. In the years before the
Opera a chieved the success which it
now merits, the Union gave a Fair an-
nually which never failed to draw the
patronage and appreciation of the
campus. The old Fairs were held in
Waterman gymnasium and as much
as $4,500 was realized in two nights.
It was eminently successful both fin-
Sancially and as a social event. The
affair could be revived this year and
re-established as an annual event
with comparatively little d fficulty.
The Union officials are anxious to
have the cooperation of the student]
body in finishing the pool. The re-

for its money. It would be a soundI

would be truly an all-campus event.
It is true that Waterman gymnas-

date a Fair audience. Why then
should not the new Yost Field House
be opened with the Fair, probably dur-

What was the response? Seven
thousand thumbs flew to seven thou-
sand mouths and seven thousand
voices commenced to mutter simul-
taneously, "It can't be done; it can't
be done; it can't be done!" And the
sad part about it is that wth such
an attitude it can't be done.
However, mark this. If every man
who has said it can't be done would
delegate himself a committee of one
to say that it can be done and would
straightway pay his five dollars, the
swimming pool would be assured of
completion.
The DAILY promises us another
suggestion t's morning. That is fine.
It of course is not the means but the
result that we are looking for. It
should be remembered, thugh, that
before any plan can become feasible,
thumb sucking must become passe.
Chimes stands ready to back any
plan which will complete the Union
swimming pool this year. It com-
mends to you the task of breaking the
campus of sucking its thumbs.

Lloyd George on a Visit
In the short tour which Mr. Lloyd
George has planned through Canada
and the- United States, he is sure to
find people eagerly watching for his
appearance and awaiting his words.
From every point of view, the leading
British statesman of his time is a
fascinating figure. His rapid rise from
the humblest beginning to the heights
of power is a romantic story. His
powerful personality, his versitality,
his eloquence, his ability to make
friends and to keep them, his uncanny
faculty of perceving public opinion
almost before it has formed,-these
and other qualities combine to make
him by far the most interesting states-
man of the day.
* * *
A trip such as the one Mr. Lloyd
George has planned is a difficult and
adventurous undertaking. Enemies on
both sides are eagerly waiting, ready
to gloat over the mistakes he will
make. Rivals across the water ex-
pect to make the most of his absence
in an attempt to undermine both his
popularity and his influence. But the
sagacity which has enabled him to
rise to such heights will no doubt con-
tinue to guide him over the troubled
waters he is likely to encounter, and
the chances are that he will make as
much use of his American opportuni-
ty as he has made of every oppor-
tunity during the last twenty years.
If we must have politicians, why can't
we have many Lloyd Georges?
* * *
There is every indication that Mr.
Lloyd George is availing himself of
every opportunity: We quote from his
speech in New York, "There is one
thing which I am sure those of you
who have been in England must have
noticed-that no Britisher ever talks
of Americans as if they were foreign-
ers. He finds them talking the same
language and holding in many res-
pects many of the same traditions
and that not withstand'ng
a few unpleasant incidents which oc-
curred between us a long time ago.
Lord North was not a particularly
popular figure on our side of the At-'
lantic Ocean. Among our greatest
men in those days Were Burke, Chath-
am, and Fox who were as fearless in
their deunciation of that crime against
