And there is the additional con- sideration that the rapidly accru- ing profits from football do not go to swell the fortunes of a Tex Rickard or a Floyd Fitzsimmons. At Michigan, as elsewherethey pay off the deficits on a host of other sports, and when the Athletic association balances its books at the end of the year, we have enough left over for golf courses and Intramural buildings. Thus these football dollars, while start- ling in their totals, and lending weight to an argument that foot- ball is being Mammonized out of the field of sport, are eventually the means of accomplishing the ul- timate desideratum in college ath- letics-athletics for all. 0- JUDICIAL COUNCIL The Judicial council of Michigan, which was created by gn act of the last legislature, is now engaged in making an exhaustive study of ju- dicial procedure in order to recom- mend improvements to the legisla- ture. In carrying out certain phases of this work, the council has asked the Research Institute of the Law School, headed by Prof. Edson R. Sunderland, to consider the problem of improving court organization and procedure by a detailed study of judicial statis- tics. Until full and complete know- ledge of conditions concerning every aspect of the judiciary has been obtained; no improvements can be made in the administration of justice, and law enforcement cannot be properly handled with- out greatly increased efficiency of the courts. Until the present time it has been found that legislatures are far too heavily burdened with mat- ters of state government to be able to give the time and study to ju- dicial adminitration which that subject obviously demands. The supreme court is likewise too muchi occupied with court business to scrutinize the question thorough- ly. It is particularly gratifyingfto know that Michigan is the first state to initiate such a program, but it affords even more pleasure to know that the University is ac- tively connected with the project. This active participation has beer made possible through the gifts of W. W. Cook combined with one of the ablest law faculties in the country, and the work of the coun- cil as a whole will undoubtedly form one of the landmarks in the field of law and legal research. 0 A ROLLS THE OLULL BEFORE HESTORIM O 0 !

Night Editor - WALTER WILDS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1929 FOOTBALL DOLLARS William Howard Taft, jovial Chief Justice and loyal alumnus of Yale, sums up a consideration of modern football in the last Cosmo- politan: "I am not an extremist. I like and enjoy athletics and am much interested in the success of Yale in the competitions between universities, but it can be overdone and it has been." This indictment of our most pop- ular national sport has been in- terpreted by the Yale Daily News not to cover the general thesis of intercollegiate rivalry but the epi- demic of intersectional contests which are based not on any ma- terial or traditional rivalry be- tween the contesting elevens, but' actually on the desire of the pub- lic to compare the strength of East and West, or North and South, so that the championship of the na- tion may be awarded by a con- census of sports writers." "This empty glory," the News continues whimsically, "Bradstreet has not yet evaluated in terms of dollars and cents, but Mr. Taft's in- terviewer sets down on paper some interesting figures which tell in in- controvertible terms the story of the tremendous profit accruing from 'a carefully selected sched- ule." An interesting local angle to this castigation of Mammonism in football is the deliberate and very promising effort of our Athletic as- sociation to make a little money on the Harvard-Michigan game. With a dollar bluntly tacked on the admission fee there can be no doubt of the intention, and with a sell-out assured no one can deny the business acumen behind the move. It does, however, lay the Athletic association open to Mr. Taft's charge that the business is becoming more highly valued than the game itself. But on this score we would take issue with the Chief Justice as in- terpreted by the Yale Daily News.

All universities have rules whereby students are allowed to miss only a certain percentage of their lec- tures. In some colleges this rule has been extended. At Harvard, for instance, men in good stand- ing academically will' be allowed to cut classes immediately before and after single holidays. In the Un- iversity of Pennsylvania anotherf system, by means of which more freedom is granted the student, is in force. In that university forty- nine students in very good stand- ing were placed on an Honor List and given special privileges. One of these privileges is exemption from the usual rule prohibiting more than a limited number of un- excused absences from classes. No doubt this freedom can in some cases be abused. There will probably be some temptation to cut more classes than is necessary. In spite of this, however, we believe, more work will be done by stu- dents under a system such as that outlined above than is now often the case. There are a large number of stu- dents who make a fair standing in their class work, but who are either too lazy or indifferent to try for a higher mark. An Honor List of students with special privileges would be a great incentive to such students. Not only would they work harder but they would also make those who are already on the, Honor List work still more in or- der to keep their places. The success of the system rests, of course, on the fact that only students of recognized high stand- ing be granted privileges. Condi- tioned students or those who ha- bitually make low marks would be n-14n- fna- - ' rr rlX- fA 11 Fine Clothes With fabrics and models specially styled for our Ann Arbor trade.
