"YELLOW" JOURNALISM
A perfect example of the depths to
which "yellow" journalism can de-
scend in catering to the lowest emo-
tions of the reader, utterly regardless
of the facts of the matter, was con-
tained in the edition of the Detroit
Times of Friday afternoon, which car-
reid a banner across the front page
reading "U. of M. Suicide Laid To
Jazz." This head was pure fiction,
written to sell the paper on the
newstands, despite the fact that such
action is contrary to all the ethics ol
decent journalism, needlessly harmed
the reputation of the University, and
did not have an iota of fact to back
it up.
Even the story which the Detroit
Times printed. did not begin to make
such a statement; in fact, it opened
with a question-students are wonder-
ing why this man took his life. And
then the headline writer answered the
question in his banner-a mistake of
which an high school editor would
not be guilty. The first lesson for a'
head writer is that the facts of the
story must be presented briefly and
concisely, yet accurately, in the head.
The man who wrote "U. of M. Sui-
cide Laid to Jazz" has yet to learn
this exceedingly elemental principle.
The investigation has shown that
the man was exceedingly quiet, had
few friends, rarely ever "dated," stu-
died industriously and was maintain-
ing a very high scholastic average.
Practically his only form of amuse-
ment was the moving picture. And
those were the characteristics of the
man whose death the Detroit Times
had the effrontery to lay to "jazz."
While such actions on the part of a
newspaper are tolerated by the peo-
ple who make them financially profit-
able, American journalism will never
reach the plane of decency which it
should, in justice, maintain.
A MISUSED GIFT
Refinement and intellectual enlight-
enment should comprise a large part}
of the benefits to be dericed from a
university education. A college grad-
uate should be able to c'omprehend
and to contribute to any yeasonably
difficult conversation or reading. This
ability to appreciate a cultural situa-
tion is not necessarily the product of
liing- finr veaors in a colleg~e town; it
gave to the Union $20,000 to decorate
and furnish a library room in memory
of her husband, an alumnus of this
University. Pendleton Memorial li-
brary, she intended, was to make GOOD
easier for students the acquisition of (7 R I)E

the truth of the note-taking and sleep-

of a few such morons who commit the
heinous act of theft.

made arrangements to supply such a
need. On the contrary, students can
find little evidence of library inade-
quacies, except when a search is made
for some place to leisurely and com-
fortably pass the time to advantage
by mere reading. Thus, the Pendleton
Memorial library, although it is very
well patronized at present, neither
satisfies fully the wish of its donor
nor an existing need.
A library in the club at Harvard, in
an attempt to maintain the ideal cul-
tural library, has all members check!
wraps, books and brief cases outside,
and releases books and magazines
only upon the presentation of call
slips. Ungentlemanly persons arej
thus prevented from abusing the
previleges of others in the enjoyment'
of the room.
A definite change in attitude is
needed for the Union library, that
those who use it may know its real
purpose, and co-operate for its attain-
ment. "Don't" may often appear more
bother than they are worth; but a few
regulations against packing the room
not only with hats and coats but also
with text and notebooks, for which
the Union maintains a check-room
and attendant, would make the insti-
tution more unique and useful.
MONEY-BACK EDUCATION
Finding their own interests have!
been served, and urged by no altru-
istic motives whatsoever, several Illi-
nois utility companies have adopted
a policy of paying half the tuition
costs of employees enrolled in ac-
credited institutions of learning. Hun-;
dreds of employees have taken advan-
tage of the plan and further exten-;
sions are proposed.j
Technical and cultural training alike I
have been found to be worth dollars
and cents to the corporations as well
as the workers themselves. Such co-
operation for mutual gain, formerly
rare in industry, is becoming more
and more common. The "half fare" I
educational plan should enjoy further
growth.

DANGER AHEAD
That the indecision and the result-
ing defiance by the city of Chicago in
regard to the "water steal" is soon to
bring dangerous complications be-1
comes more and more evident as time
goes by and the government still de-
clines to take any definite stand on
the question. First came the open
rebellion from ,Chicago,\then came the
protest from Canada, and now comes
the necessity of arrangement with
many foreign nations because of the
effect of diversion on the water power
rights of nations with rights in bound-
ary waters.
It becomes more and more evident
that the government must soon make
some absolute decision in this case
that will mark the end of the litiga-
tion and trouble that has resulted.
Chicago may or may not be within
her rights under law and under the
existing circumstances. But the big
thing'is that our government should
not be "'hood-winked" by the city of
Chicago and accept upon her shoul-
ders the damage and ill-feeling re-
sulting from the diversion. For her
to be placed in that position is to
make her the foil for the city of Chi-
cago. And that city is too small a
part of our nation to allow her to take
this liberty.
