CONVOCATION SUGGESTIONS
To The Editor:
In an attempt to make the pro-
grams at the student convocations
more worthwhile and interesting to
the undergraduate body, the Con-
vocations committee, recently em-
powered by the Student council to
arrange for all convocations, is
asking the students to express their
ideas and suggestions concerning
the convocations through the Cam-
pus Opinion in The Daily.
The committee believes that it
can make the convocations more
interesting by engaging speakers
now for the spring series and for
the following year. The speakers
already have been obtained for the
fall convocations, and final nego-'
tiations are being considered with
outstanding men for the spring
season. Any suggestions for speak-
ers will be appreciated by the com-
mittee. There are to be four lay-
men and four ministers chosen for
the year.
Arrangements are being made to
change the type of programs so
that the audience will take a great-
er part in the service. A sub-com-
mittee in charge of obtaining
worth-while musical talent will
welcome any suggestions along that
line.
The committee is anxious that
the student body will respond to its
plea. It will insure that the most
careful attention will be given any
suggestions designed to make con-
vocation an enjoyable and worth-
while Sunday morning affair.

JACKS THE GIANT KILLERS
No one who saw it will soon for-
get the spectacle of Michigan's
down-and-out tail-enders turning
the tables on the touted Illini elev-
en last year. Licked by Ohio Wes-
leyan, Indiana, Ohio, and Wiscon-
sin, they fought down the field,
kicked a field goal, and hung on to
their advantage with everything
they had. Like a handful of in-,
furiated Jacks they killed the giant,I
while something like 80,000 loyal
rooters roared and roared and roar-
ed.
This year the situation is some-
what similar. Without a chance
for the title, Michigan's eleven
must win their spurs by slaying the
conference giants. The business is
not without honor and glory. But
in the first crucial clash 'with the
men of Zuppke they will not have
the inspiration of a familiar field
and a friendly crowd.
The least that most of us can do
is to cheer them on their way to-
morrow night. Let the squad feel
that our confidence and our loyal-
ty are as unwavering as last year.
CAMPUS HEELERS
(Grand Rapids Press)
It is hard to think of anything
which wastes students' time at our
universities and colleges quite as
much as the everlasting -political
maneuvering and chicanery going
on for the various undergraduate
offices. At the University of Illi-
nois ten students have just been
removed from office after a reg-
ular torch light campaign with a
headquarters raid reminiscent of
Chicago's Nineteenth ward. At the
University of Michigan the "State
street party"-or, better, gang -
regularly connives to beat the
"Washtenaw avenue party" and
vice versa. This division into fra-
ternity "blocs" is comparatively re-
cent so far as campus politics goes,
but there has been a great waste
of student energies along this line
for many years.
Students set out deliberately up-
on a career of officeholding; one
student at Ann Arbor who wound
up with a senior class presidency

offices actually set up a political
