When our friends laugh at Michigan for its inclusion of nitwits in quantity, we grant their existence but point out their practical isolation from the intelligent element on the campus. Since The Daily is the product of this element, I see no reason why it should be embarrassed with a false obligation to gratify the veri- est oafs with the publication of their illiterate clowning. The latest case in point is one Carmichael's cheap bid for fourth page publicity in yesterday's Daily. Of course, such a one's verbose stupidity answers itself, and three or four times, but for one thing, it dispels the pleasant illusion' tha we produce publications for more than a few people of any taste. In the extremely improbable event that even the Engineering school should contain a gull for Car- michael's sorry humor, I will say out of sentimental regard for our ugly duckling cover that lacquer- ing is superfluous Since we paid the *manufacturer to waterproof it s that itcan, of course, be easily cleaned. G. A. Dusenbury. AN OPEN LETTER TO JESS J. CARMICHAEL, '31E Dear Mr. Carmichael: Gee whiz you just exploded all over the edi- torial page, didn't you? And sev- eral months late, too. I know a lot of people who don't like the cover of the new 'Ensian but they had sense enough to know that even an indignant letter in The Daily wouldn't make it possible to collect all the copies and send them back to the bindery' to be rebound in the good old standard cover of imita- tion leather embellished with cam- paniles, muscle-bound athletes and the like. Just imagine, Mr. Car- michael, sending back eight and one-half tomes of 'Ensians to the printers, marked "N.G.," "White elephant," and "This looks like a butcher's supply catalog." J u s t imagine it!- You remind me, Mr. Carmichael, of a friend of mine who went into the kitchen of a large hotel and 'ordered a special omelette. He stood around and watched the chef beat up the eggs, pour them into a fry- ing pan on the fire. He stood around and watched, mind you. Then when the omelette was finished, and garnished with parsley and served in a clean white dish, this friend of mine got up on his hind legs and bellowed and ranted and raved and said it looked like a butcher's supply catalog until the the chef was practically overcome w i t h nausea. It was an awful silly per- formance, Mr. Carmichael. I can't help feeling, however, that your suggestions for other uses of the canvas cover are excellent. You said it might be made into oat bags for horses. Why don't you take two or three 'Ensian covers and make a large nose bag and slip it over your head, Mr. Carmichael? You could cut holes in. it for your eyes if you wanted to, but I gather from your letter that you'd rather not see anything anyway, especially the 'Ensian cover., Perhaps you'd just better leave the nose bag intact so none of your low growls would seep out and reach the sensitive ears of the editor, who might break down and cry. Your lacquer idea is good, too.' You ask, "Why can't each student march downtown and swap a couple of dimes for a can of it, along with a new brush, paint it carefully over the sailor's leggings part of his book and when it is dry carry it home satisfied that he can wash it off when it needs it?" Well, Mr. Carmichael, I've interviewed sever- al paint store proprietors in town and they all agree' that the idea is great and that they will be glad to help out the students. So you need not worry on that score. Each student CAN march downtown, any old time he wants to. But anyway, Mr. Carmichael, if you consider your 'Ensian. a "white elephant" and would like to dis- pose of your great burden, there are a score of students would be glad to pay you well for your copy. Students who-know a good thing when they see it. So there's no need of feeling hurt, Mr. Carmichael.
