partment of agriculture." The above
are news items from a metropolitan
daily paper.
In the feature section of the South
Bend Tribune for Oct. 12, is found a
full page story concerning the "Air
College" of New York university. In
the period from Oct. 13 to Dec. 23,
seven leading educators of the uni-
versity are giving a series of lectures
on current subjects. And this is in no
Way an experiment. Last year class-
room lectures were broadcasted with
great success. Thousands of radio fans
within range wrote expressing their
appreciation of the service thus ren-
dered by the New York City institu-
tion. Such men as Prof. Ralph D.
M a g o f f in, a graduate of the Uni-
versity of Michigan and at pres-
sent head of the department
of classics at New York are included
on the course. Authorities on politics
and statesmanship, 'economics, geo-
logy, biology, English, and history will
all make their contribution to know-
ledge of the air. They are known as
the "Radio faculty."
These are undertakings of other
universities-undertakings of a mod-
ern era which have been attended with
remarkable success. These institu-
tions are giving a great service to the
people of surrounding areas, and in
doing so are creating a distinct p'ublic
interest in higher education as it is
carried on in these places. What has
heretofore been impossible is being ac-
complished-the mass of people are
being brought to an understanding of
the colleges and universities which
they support by their taxes.
Very soon it will be necessary for
the local administration to approach
the legislature- again in an attempt
to increase the yearly income. The
biggest task of the advocates will be
to win the sympathy of the rural mem-
bers who have not been reached by
University .extension service and to
whom the institution has meant little
except expense for the state. This con-
dition would' be largely eliminated it
Michigan bad an adequate broadcasting
station, capable of reaching the count-
less thousands of ciitizen taxpayers.
The administration is willing, the ra-
dio engineering department stands
ready with plans, the extension ser-
vice realized the enormous value of
such a scheme, but no action has been
taken. The Regents have so far failed
to appropriate money for such a
scheme.
Their inactivity concerning this im-
portant project is difficult to com-
prehend. Michigan is practically the
last of the larger institutions of the
middle west to take such a step-and
all stations so far installed have
.proved to be a success, have accom-
plished their purpose in every way.
No university of the middle west has
more advantages of every kind-mu-
sic, lectures, the best that can be ob-
tained. Yet the scope of their audience
is limited to Ann Arbor, to a paltry
5,000 people in Hill auditorium.
It is plain, then, that the University

It is high time for the extermination
of all those people who are under the
misapprehension that the War is still1
going on. They may be divided into
classes as follows:
1. Those who wear khaki wool
sweaters.
2. Those who say Carry On.
3. Those who say Do Your Bit.
4. Those who favor a bonus for Our
Boys.
5. Those who refer to Europe as

The annual fall tryouts for the
Comedy Club will be held Wednesday'
and Thursday afternoon, October 22
and 23, in the auditorium of Newberry
Hall at four o'clock. All students of
the university are eligible for mem-
bership, and those interested are ex-

suited to display their alleged ability,

remains that it not only puts on -the

Night Editor-HAROLD A. MOORE
OUR MICHIGAN
The game for which two univer-
sities have been waiting for months
is over. With it go the hopes, and as-
pirations of a year for Michigan and
Illinois. Both had hoped to win, but
Illinois had the edge. There is no
disgrace in our defeat-the eleven
representatives of the gridiron did
everything in their power to make it
a Michigan day, The 10,000 Michigan,
rooters were behind them when hop-,
ing for victory; they are united with
them in defeat.
For two seasons the team has been
undefeated, twice they tied for a4
championship-first with Iowa, then
with Illinois. Last year we fixed up
our score with the Iowans, this sea-
son we hoped to treat similarly with
the Illini. That hope is gone. Now we
are looking forward to another game
in which we may be more successful.
Next year we will entertain Illinois
at' Ann Arbor.
The most important thing of all,
a thing for which Michigan has been
anxious for two years, has been
achieved. There has been a renewal
of football relations with Illinois. They
have a great team this year. May they
be equally successful in the rest of
their season's contests. Michigan and
Illinois have enjoyed a close rivalry'
for many years. In the majority of
games our University has emerged
victorious, but all contests haye been
marked with the same spirit of good
sportsmanship which characterized
the game yesterday. It was thus par-,
ticularly auspicious that Michigan
should aid in the dedication of the
new stadium-that monument to the
men who gave their lives in that
greatest of all battles. The future
will see many games there between
the two schools. None will be greater
than yesterday's. It is to be hoped that
all will be played in the same spirit.
To the team who was technically
defeated yesterday go the hearts of
their fellow, students. They did not
lose as men. They gave their best for
victory. The season is hardly begun.
Yesterday's experience will make pos-
sible future victories. Michigan is,
never beaten. Michigan men always
fight to the last. We did not dedicate
the stadium as we had hoped to, but
there are many games to come. Michi.-
gan may still rule the west this year!

There seems to be a row about the
tickets. There has been such a trq-
mendous row over them that we of-
fered the use of this department for
the overflow letters of the debate. We
give herewith the gist of six of them:
Th'ere were (blank for insertion of

"The Romantic Age," when it was
presented in New York two years ago
with Margola Gillmore in the leading
role, was little more than an artistic
success, and closed after a few meagre
weeks. Nevertheless, along with "The
Lucky One" and "The Stepmother,"
it is one of the author's most pene-
trating plays; its professional fail-

fact that Milne had been too fortu-
