than in the events which followed the
recent Japanese disaster. Within a
few short hours after Tokio and Yok-
ohama were thrown into chaos 4of
wreck and ru'n, the many broadcast-
ing stations throughout the United
j States were flashing forth messages
requesting financial aid for the
stricken districts. The prompt re-
sponse to the appeal for aid may be
attributed in a large part to the speedy
action of the radio. Persons residing
in outlying dstricts were aware of
the catazrophe in some instances be-
fore the newspaper reports reached
them.
Despite the universal recognition of
the value of the broadcasting station,
the University still goes radioless. It
is to be hoped that ,within the near
future an appropriation will be set
aside for the development of a broad-
casting station similar in type to the
sets with which a number of the other,
larger universities are equipped. A
broadcasting station at Michigan will
mean that football. results, concerts,
lectures, etc. may be received by thou-
sands of people living in the more
remote sections of the country.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of a university radio is that an ex-'
tension lecture service could be insti-
uted.
A ten thousand dollar appropriation,
would be ample for the installation of,
a broadcasting station that would en-
tirely fill the needs of the University:
It is to be hoped that Micigan will.
soon become a leader in this branch of
scientific achievement.

"1][0 UIN!" SAID
T H E DORNOUSE,
AWAKING WITH A
START.
Football Note
Our esteemed contemporary, Mr.
Fielding H. Yost, director of intercol-
legiate athletics, dean of the coaching
school, grand old man of Michigan,
Booster and whatnot, is doing a great
social service to the student body.
This service, we need hardly say,
is the daily scrimmage which, to bor-
row cinematic phraseology, is direct-
ed by FIELDING H. YOST, produced
by a bunch of rangy elephants, photo-
graphed by the student body for its
M book--and passed by the National
Board of Review.
This super-spectacle is daily wit-
nessed by thousands of interested
spectators: some who come there to
sit and think, some who bring rushees
to give them a thrilling afternoon, and
some who want to back the good ol'
team. It's a fine thing for the boys to
have this innocent place to pass their
time; without it they might be forced
to go to the movies or even, possibly,
to study. Thank God for Mr. Yost,
WE say.

This( as far as we can make out,
is a mash note. We print it, not be-
cause of any merit in the composition,
but because of the sentiment conveyed
in it. (to quote. Mr. Mencken) we are
touched.
TO FLIT OR NOT TO FLIV
This world is full of dumbells;
Some of them go to college.
They seek to hide their dumbness
With some real collegiate knowl-
edge!
But our idea of the dumbest
Of all this awful horde
Is the Frosh who comes to college
And proceeds to buy a Ford.
We know one little freshman
Who did this little trick.
He traded all his money
For a flivver with a kick.
The "car" was ever ten years old
But far from being floored-
And now this kid's not eating-
He's paying for his Ford!

For first the license cost six bucks,
A couple more for tires,
He had to pay the man to find
Some dislocated wires.
That fliv has cost a fortune-
He cannot pay his board,'
For one cannot got to college
And also own a Ford.
Arlie Heavenly.

Going back to the subject of the
American press, treated at some
length in this column yesterday, we
note the headline of a Detroit paper
which boasts of one of the city's larg-
est circulations. The first page dis-
plays three banner heads as follows:
"Mrs. Leasia Aided Wife Slayer."
"State to Ask Dissolution of David
Sect."
"Baby Lost By Error Dead, Is The-
ory."
Then on the same page follow arti-
cles headed, "Girl Robber Caught in
Chase", "Woman Beaten and Robbed;
Two Held", and "Pretty Girl Threat-I
ened By Stepfather."
The second page is headed "Police
Believe Motherless Baby Lost in "Mix-
up", Dead" and a large cut headed
"Wife Slayer, Suicide and Woman in
Case." The third page opens with
another banner head, "Aged Million-
aire Bitterly Contests Wife's Tale of
Cruelty" and a sub-head 'He Broke a
Chair on Head, Is Claim."
Yet it is a sheet of this sort that
commands the attention of thousands,
every evening, it, is this kind of news
that the working man totes homeI

emptier cranium and it is this type na-
tive journalism that sells like hog.
cakes on a December night in the
metropoli all over the country. Be-
hold a nation of morons in the mak-
ing.
Is this country like that? Are aged
millionaires continually breaking
chairs over their wives heads; pret-
ty girls being threatened by cruel
stepfathers; babies continually lost in
"mixups"; and women beaten and
robbed at every street corner?
And yet there was important news
yesterday. Foreign news from Ger-
many and Great Britain, late devel-
opments in Washington, and more
about the! coal situation. Of all this
hardly a word. Moreover the publish-
ers of this and similar papers are
justified. -.This is what the public
wants. H. L. Mencken claims that the
average reader of the daily papers
cannot understand a simple editorial
and seldom even glances at one. We
think the point is well taken.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1923
Night Edito -HARRY C. CLARK

IN 1922-1923
The good American' god, Optimism,
a fat, comfortable deity, at whose
shrine all unfortunates invariably
worship, is being overworked hereE
during the period following the publi-
cation of the annual Scholarship chart.
There are those who wonder why
further comment on the chart is nec-
essary. They argue that general aver-
ages on the chart are in approximately
the same positions as last year. This
is true, but there are a few utterly
bad features of University scholarship,
which are not appprent W Ess glance.
1. The scholarship of' a large num-
ber of campus organizations declined
last year.
2. The scholarship of women; in
general, declined. Some of the groups
contributing to th s slump should be

such as the musical and lecture series,
clo~se personal friendships with mem-
bers of the faculty, or affiliation with.
some worthwhile discussion group;
all bring the same diversion of inter-
est and accentuate the appreciation of
the whole.
During the coming week, there will
appear a series of editorials concern-
ing the various fields which offer op-
portunities for the development of
outside interests. Those men who are
new on the campus will find their
college course a source of great satis-
faction if they cultivate a genuine en-
thusiasm for some one of these.

EDITORIAL. COMMENT
Wanted-Men With Spine.
(The Detroit News)
One of the truisms that bear repeti-
tion without disparagement is the fact
that an educational institution such as
the University of Michigan. exists for
the purpose of developing useful men
and women.
Dr. Marion LeRoy Burton is one of
those men big enough to vision this I
inission in its true, broad sense. At
the opening convocation in Hill Aud-
itorium he restated, in new terms, one
of the cardinal points in his philos'
ophy.
"In this university we want only
men with spine," he said, "who do
what they know they ought to do."
William of Wykeham, who founded
Winchester College and New Col-
lege, Oxford, both in England, had
inscribed over his institutions:
"Manners Maketh Man." Most really
great ideas are elementary, and there-j
fore old. But age never withers the
truth. What Michigan university
wants, as interpreted by its presi-
dent, is what the nation wants; it is
what each city and community wants;
it is the objective of morality and so-
ciety's supreme goal.
For when men have spine and, by
that courage, do the things they know
they ought to do, all life, profession
al and commercial, and all govern-
ment, national and local, will take on
a tone of enlightened conscience
which we teach ourselves to seek ever,
even if at present we do not alway;
discover it.
If the University of Michigan can
so guide the thoughts of its studentr
that they challenge all temptation t
be lower than the best in each of
them; if it encourages them to thinl;
effectively for themselves, and so ad('
force to the intellectual energy of
their time; if it can demonstrate to
them the substantial worth of high
moral integrity, which it courage in
its highest form, then that splendid
institution will fulfill the purpose o
higher education in a way the fruit
of which will be priceless and endur-
ing.
It would be a good idea to let the
Klan and the League of Nations get to-
gether and make the world safe for
democracy. It might be called the
"Kleague of Nations" and Governor
Walton would properly be its head.
