the artificial dialog sound natural, but
with indifferent success.
The popularity of this pseudo-prob-

fact that the forty-second street cos-

can go to the play in a glow of broad-

as innocuous and devoid of idea as a

THE PARASITE
In every community there are al-
ways one or more organizations which
rarely, if ever, seem to justify their
existence. Unfortunately the Mich-
igan campus is no exception.
One of the outstanding examples of
this type of organization is the Stu-
dent Christian association, appealing
as it does to scarcely more than a
score of students from the standpoint
of active interest.
The S. C."A. does serve several good
purposes. Among these, it provides
a social club for f >reign students on
the campus, and supervises a worthy
fresh air camp each summer for poor
children. In view of this a concen-
trated effort is made each winter to
reach every student in the University
during -the well known "S. C. A.
drive" for some manner of contribu-
tion. In short, this association which
is operated by a half dozen students,
and whose commodious building is
frequented by possibly 200 more for-
eign students, imposes itself upon the
entire student body each year to the
extent of $6,000. (The fresh air camp
is supported by an independent drive
each spring.)
To be sure, the presidency of the
S. C. A. is a pleasant office to hold,
and generally offers a trip to Europe'
in the bargain. The president is elect-

PLEAT
Just a Good Time
It is the opinion of everyone
that goes to Granger's that they
have a real good time. The
smooth floor, not overly crowded,
the gliding of the dancers, the'
hum of conversation give that
feeling of real enjoyment to every
minute.
And then there is the music.

dreamy waltzes played by Jack

of industry, if they have the vision
and the faith attributed to them will
be quick to seize this opportunity and{
make of it what they can, which seems
to be- much.
AGAIN
After rejecting two alternat!?ve
plans, the House committee on agri-
culture has approved the McNary-
Haugen farm relief bill which, with
the exception of several minor chang-
es, is identical to the measure de-
feated last May in the first session of
the Congress now assembled.
The bill provides, in effect, that a
price of farm products, higher than
that in the world market, be fixed for
ed by the student body. The office is; sales in the United States, and that
a fdlcos"oiia lml fin coil in d01 1 l11ioJ
a delicious "political plum."
The chief difficulty with the organi-,
zation lies in the fact that it is grossly
over-capitalized. It is estimated that
the upkeep of the building, the operat-
ing expenses, the fresh air camp, and
the {cost of the so-called student activ-
ities amounts to $32,000 per year! To
meet such an expenditure, alumni are
solicited for some $21,000; students
for $12,000, comprising the annual
drive and the fresh air camp solicita-
tions; and local churches about $1,000.
The abolition of the S. G. A. is by
no means advocated. It has a small
purpose. But it should not exist
solely as a parasite on the campus. Itj
does not begin to reach the studentl
body; therefore, why should students:
support it? The annual drive, which
is less of a financial success eac-hl
year, should be abolished if the as-
sociation has to vacate its handsome 1
building, and move into somewhat less
farmers iorcea to seat in the foreig~n
trade be given a proportionate com-
pensation. With this main provision
unchanged, it still provides for a di-
rect subsidy as well as for the rather
economically unsound practice of
price-fixing.
Though the publicity given the mat-I
ter may have weakened the opposi-
tion, and the inclusion of cotton as a
favored product have added strength
front the South, it is probable that
much difficulty will be experienced
in enacting the measure when itj
comes up for consideration early in
February.
