WORTH CONSIDERATION
For the past half dozen years the
students of the University, perhaps
unknown to them, have given, through
the Student Christian association, a
vacation to several hundred under-
privileged boys from arge surround-
ing cities. Starting as a modest enter-
prise, housed in tents on the shore
of Patterson lake, the camp has grown
to the point where it has four perma-
nent buildings, including a large din-
ing hall, and the capacity has been
increased so that more than 400 boys
each summer receive the benefits af-
forded.
But this is not a brief for the Fresh
Air camp as much as the exposition
of an opportunity. The leaders in
this camp are annually chosen from
the student body of the University,
giving their time in return for a
pleasant summer vacation and an op-
portunity to study one of the greatest
of American institutions-American
boyhood. They are placed face to
face with sociological problems about
which volumes have been written, and
they are given an opportunity for ex-
perience in leadership paralleled by
few phases of college education.
At the present time a group of suit-
able leaders for this camp are being
sought by Homer Grafton, manager
of the Student Christian association.
There seems to be no reason why, if
a large number of students apply, Mr.
Grafton will not be able to find a
number of capable and interested men
to aid in the wholly worthwhile
project.
INDUSTRIAL ARBITRATION
Recent proposals of the American
Bar association aim to carry over into
industry the fundamental ideas of
commercial arbitration as a solution
to industrial problems arising from
time to time. The plan consists ig
validating agreements made at the
outset by parties who agree to decideI
controversies in their own way and
thus avoid all court settlements.
Since commercial disputants have
begn successful in the use of the plan,
industry should find profit in the ex-
tension of the workings of this type
of arbitration to. their own field.
Through such a system, it is certainly
reasonable to believe, there is estab-
lished a plane on which labor, man-
vides for the assertion of the rightl
and power of the third party at in-
terest in the case. Neither labor nor
capital can forget that it depends in
the long run upon measures which
will commend themselves to the pub-
lic as being fair to all concerned, for'
any neglect of the public interests
will necessarily result eventually in
an assertion of public power.
Realizing therefore the importance
of fairness in disputes and arriving at
decisions without strikes or other
weapons of modern labor and cap-
ital, the powers that be in these
groups should profit by the experi-
ence of big business and adopt arbi-
tration as the means for solution of
their difficulties.
MORE IDEAS
Since the reform idea took hold of
the higher educators, it is a disap-
pointing week which fails to produce
at least some radical proposal at
some major university or college, and
in order that the current week might
be a success, Dean John Phelan, of
Michigan State college, has outlined
a novel proposal which he advocates
for that school. Among his other
ideas, some of which are very sound,
he favors a standardized first year
course for freshmen-an entirely new
project which on the face of it ap-
pears to be of extremely dubious
merit.
The first of the objections to such
a system would be that all first year
students are certainly not of similar
or equivalent capabilities, as a stand-
ard first year course would neces-
sarily presume. Many students capa-
ble of doing a high grade of work in
science would find themselves entirely
incapable of passing a group of aes-
thetic or cultural courses, and vice
versa, while students planning to spe-
cialize in one particular course could
not be expected to take any consider-
able degree of interest in a dia-
metrically opposed course.
Then, second of the difficulties
which faces Dean Phelan's idea is the
fact that a heterogeneous group of
college freshmen, gathered from all
corners of the country, is ill-designed
to be regimented through the same
course of instruction in its first year
of college work. There is no common
basis upon which such a course could
be built; no common background
upon which it could be constructed;
and in short there seems to be no
surmounting reason which would
make the policy a success.
On the whole it rather seems as
though Dean Phelan and the State
college, though some essentials of
their plan are of obvious merit, might
well reconsider at least this phase
of their reform progran.
CHICAGO SCHOOL CONTROL
Accusation against one's opponents
made in the heat of contest may often
b e exaggerated. Countercharges
against ludicrous charges are very
likely to suffer as well from over-
statement.
There might be some grounds then
for suspecting that the condemnation
of the Chicago school board as the
greatest obstacle to education in that
city by its former superintendent,
William T. McAndrew, now on trial
on charges of insubordination and in-
jecting pro-British propaganda in
the schools, indicates some such
weakness.
The basis for the allegation is, of
course, the politics which allegedly
dominate the supervision of Chicago
schools. In this matter, moreover,
the former superintendent seems to
have indicated the real situation.
For years, changes in municipal ad-
ministration have wrought havoc with
the school administration. With al-
most every mayoralty change, there
has been alteration in the school
board with subsequent conflicts with
the remaining executive organization.
* If Chicago citizens do not object to
such riots with their educational con-
trol, perhaps it is their own business;
but criticism of their apathy is an-
other thing. Without doubt, con-
tinuity of control with attention de-
voted to administration instead ofI
politics would provide better results.
If reform is desired, the most avail-
able remedy would probably involve
election instead of appointment of
school board members.
By saying that a man past 30 is in-
capable of real love, Dr. Will Durant
does not necessarily infer that people
past that age are less miserable.
It does not suffice to merely believe
that honesty is the best policy-for
the other fellow.

TASTED ROL
BAN
i1HIRSEL
WE WERE SORRY TO READ that
a student had been injured, while rid-
ing a horse, but it points to a moral.
Horses should be banned immediately.c
It is clear that students are not
capable of handling horses and should
not be allowed to ride them.l
-*
THEN SOME OF the students will
get big powerful horses and ride intoI
Detroit just as if they had automo-
biles.
OF COURSE THERE is a handicapt
with the horses in that only one can
ride on a horse, but then again, one
can get two horses and have his girl
ride on that. One could also get a
wagon and ride in that with the horse
out in front to pull it.
NO DOUBT THE progressive fresh-
man who allowed his horse to run
into the milk wagon was thinking of.
something else at the time. He prob-
ably was planning on teaching his
horse to jump so that he could enter
the arboretum after 6 o'clock.
YES, THERE CAN BE no doubt
about it. The horse is a danger to
students and must be banned. There
could be special permission granted
to those who need them for business,
such as student milk men.

JUST A STUDENT
y _
The above illustrates a student re-
turning from ,Detroit. The poor fel-
low left his horse in Ann Arbor and
fell asleep on the street car. It seems
that the conductor is trying to wake
him to get off at the Michigan Central
station.
* * *
THIS STUDENT IS demonstrating
some of the tricks learned in college.
The conductor's shouts probably re-
mind him of some professor delivering
a lecture on the high price of eggs
during the Romantic revolution.
* * *
AND THE B AND G boys are even
banning the campus dogs. We await
with horror the time when we shall
walk across the campus without a
dog running under our feet and
knocking us down. Michigan just will
not be the same without the various
breeds of canine.
* * *
A PETITION SHOULD be circu-
lated to have the dogs replaced. They
never drove automobiles. The Bolt-
for-President club may circulate these
petitions and also invite every one
who signs to become a member of the
party.

PARADISE LOST
Two very good shows close tonight
-"Outward Bound" and "You and I."
And it will be long before either the
local clotheshorses or the Thespian
hirelings at the Whitney will have
another such actor's paradise. Every
part in both plays was fat, with sun-
dry moments when the actor can dig
up and dust off any number of pas-
sions aril emotions.
In "Outward Bound" Robert Hen-
derson is privileged to have several
beautiful major crises of hysteria;
Kate Holland, Patton ritzes every-
one in sight; Robert Wetzel can have
another. chance at playing God's little
helpmate; Mrs. Mansfield can over-
flow with motherly emotion; Holman
Faust can do doddering big business;
and Charles Warburton has an ex-
cellent time doing the modern ver-
sion of the grim ferryman of the
Styx.
"You and I" is almost as fertile
in juicy bits-and as we have before
intimated (although nobody believes
it) we think them very well done-
Dougall, Loughton, and Setchell espe-
cially, and the others in ratio. Don't
miss either of these shows if you can
help it.

TTHE GERSHWIN CONCERT
A review, by Nelson J. Smith, Jr.
There was a gasp and then a slight
titter as Alvarez started in on the
opening words of the "Nashville
Nightingale." A few minutes before
she had been doing selections from
Carmen and Peruvian folk-songs
with feeling and effect.....and here
she was doing the wildest jazz from
the pen of the modern master of
jazz. Surely a stranger concert was
never concocted...which may explain
why it was so satisfying.
The Rhapsody in Blue, which needs
no publicity here, was done with two
pianos in the fashion that one would
expect. It took the house down! And
then the five preludes which were
mere whimsy-Gershwin "playing"
with the piano. Suddenly he too,
with no more than a gesture, turned
from a prelude which was a phantasy
of shivering notes to his toe-tickling
"Do Do Do" and two more encores.
Together they matched their love
for music and gave a real concert in
which the audience was never having
more than 50 per cent of the fun. That
little twinkle in Gershwin's eyes is
worth a million times "I hope you
like it." And Alvarez's personality,
which was regal and yet intimate, got
into the selections and gave them
something which was different.
If you didn't go this time, don't
wait to be urged when Gershwin
comes back from Europe. This boy
is good-awful good. And Alvarez is
coming.

HOWEVER HIS WIFE finally

He reports that there are traces of
Democrats in the Economics build-

on this campus) made us tighten our

starved to death.
PRESIDENT LITTLE ANNOUNCES
in a story on page one of this issue
that there are no bans under consider-
ation on several pastimes in which
the students rarely if ever indulge.
- * * *
WE WERE INDEED surpriscd that
there isn't going to be some sort of a.
ban on hats. The style in the East is
to wear derbies and accordingly soft
hats should be banned. And as for
red neckties, they speak for them-
selves.
IT WOULD BE WELL to ban check-
ers, croquet and the like, for certainly
the students spend much too muchI
time in these occupations and neglect
their studies.
IN THE MATTER of canoeing,
swimming and the rest it is wonder-
