We do grant that there is a pos- sibility of such intensified competi- tion as in a national basketball tourney being too much in a short period of time, but even in such ex- treme cases we emphatically sug- gest that the sensible revision of the situation lies not in an abolish- ment of a system whose beneficial aspects are so numerous but rather the limiting of the contestants and the schedule through the erection of more rigid requirements around the entrance possibilities. MICHIGAN'S NEW CLUB. I Announcement of the contem- plated erection in Detroit, within a few months, of an intercollegiate alumni club will furnish welcome news to many University students. The purpose served by such clubs, many of which have been in operation for years in several of the country's larger cities, is en- tirely laudable. They do not draw distinctions and create class lines, but merely serve as convenient and comfortable meeting places for men whose background and life in- terests are in many respects simi- lar. News from New York of the raid- ing of such a club a few days ago, and the discovery therein of a quantity of liquor, is of little signi- ficance. College alumni will show no more tendency to drink in a club of their own than in hotels. And on the 'other hand, a college club will serve in many respects to stimulate the more worth-while proclivities of those who have been educated in universities. It is sincerely to be hoped that prices in the new club will be mod- est enough so that newly-fledged alumni, as the members of the classes of 1930 and 1931 soon will be, will be able to afford to live in the club. Many of the beneficial effects willbe lostaifbcollege grad- uates will not be able to continue their close associations without in- terruption after graduation. If each one must become rich before he can afford to live in the club, it will fail to achieve its real pur- pose of continuing after gradua- tion the socially cultural benefits of college life. TAG DAY. Not many weeks from now the majority of us will pack up and depart for mountain resorts, or,the wide open spaces, there to indulge in the healthy pursuit of sunshine, swimming and general relaxation. Meanwhile, thousands of less for- ! tunate boys will swelter in the en- ervating heat of the city, seeking unhealthy divertisement in the streets and anticipating nothing better than sunlight filtered through grime, and an occasional ducking under an open fire hy- drant. Not much fun that-and certainly not the sort of vacation that provides ideal recreation and abundant health. In order to relieve this situation as much as possible a drive for the ASTED LL HERE'S BEACHCOMBER'S CONTRIBUTION i 7 SDear Joe: I seen your plea for aj column, so here goes.

Ever since the legarthic' North Cen- tral Association awoke to the fact that the establishment of that body must be kept before the eyes of the sporting world as a shadowy partner to the devious ways of Carnegie's Dr. Savage and their pseudo ulti- matum was broadcasted to a "breathless" membership, specula- tion has been rife as to the real merits and possible evils of inter- scholastic competitions as sponsor- ed by the several colleges and uni- versities. It is universally' granted that the initial and fundamental purpose of these events is hardly of an oner- ous character. Surely the very act of making possible for the contest- ants a higher plane of competition than is available within a confined area, is not in itself harmful. The situation whereby young men of high school age are placed in an atmosphere of higher education is again in itself an advantage. None will argue that many young men have more easily made possible a selection of their future alma mater by first hand comparisons of the various collegiate institutions. It is quite possible that inter- scholastic competitions may be in themselves of an evil influence and should be abolished or limited if certain factors arise. Too frequent and prolonged competitions, re- cruiting in connection with finan- cial considerations, or stampeding in favor of the host, are surely pos- sible objections to an inferior pro- gram. It is true that many colleg- iate institutions have employed scholastic meets as a part of re- 'rutii nnar ram and hav in o..- Just think how many dollar bills have been ruined in trying to test out Ripley's statement that an or-. dinary pencil eraser would obliter- ate all the printing on a dollar bill.

Be- cause of the superiority of the in- dividual men, he' can gain greater clarity in the mosaic juxtaposition of short phrases.

The preliminary drive, held among fraternities, sororities and campus organizations, has al- ready yielded a gratifying amountf but the campus as a whole has not, yet had an opportunity to show its generosity in this philanthropic campaign. The price of a couple of shows will buy a tag, but that negligible amount will maintain' for one whole day some kid with a natuiral yearning for camp life. The student body has yet to fall short of any quota set for it in a worthy charity drive, and it is ex- pected that the plea for funds with, which to maintain the Fresh Air camp this year will be met on Wed- nesday by an enthusiastic and generous response. 0 - Editorial Comment o- 0 MILLIONS IN IT!
