Pierce Britten, at a safe distance from the searching rays of a close-up, issues what some might term an "apt" analogy, that the United tSates' navy is just like a good insurance policy. Then Representative LaGuardia for defense issues a statement supporting a pacific program. I admire LaGuardia for his position and realize that he was at a disadvantage because a close-up was taken. Any man would be, for a close-up searches out every peculiarity in a man's physiognomy. But with all due regards to Represcntative La- Guardia, I do not think that he was the most able of many pacifists available. If distributors of news think it necessary to represent conflicting opinions, I suggest that it be done with equality and with due consideration to all interested parties. ERLE A. LIGHTLINGER.

GILBRETH WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1931 Don't Force Your Choice of College "J ET your son or daughter go to the college that arouses most of his intellectual curio. sity," said Professor Bursley, director of Orienta- tion week, over the radio Sunday. . "It is unwise to send your son or daughter to a collegeyou went to thirty years ago on the grounds that what was good enough for you shold-be good enough for him. If you feel that your boy or girl should go o o a trade school, let him go. Far better to have him the best manual ,toolmaker in the state of Michigan with that reputation than to have him a s'hyster lawyer or a third-rate doctor and known as such." Professor Bursley, thrice director of Orienta- tion week and last year Counsellor to New Stu- dents, has had ample opportunity to judge the causes which result in college misfits, the mistakes which are made in choosing a college, and the re- sults to the individual. The chToosing of a college is important to the student, and' if he is .sent to a school that he does not wish to enter, he will surely dislike it before he gets there. No doubt, many students flunk out of college ,every year because they have chosen the wrong one, or have been sent to the wrong one. Probably those who come to Michigan solely for its athletic reputation, find that the work is more than they can carry; that life here is not 'one long football or basketball game; that studies count to. We believe that the day when high school sen- iors pick their universities for athletic prowess, or because their parents went there, will soon be a thing of the past. The sole reason for not at- tending a particular Uiversity will be because of scholastic or financial insufficiency. The reputa- tion of the institution in the particular field ii which the student Is interested twill become the main factor in choosing a college. CAMPUP OPINION I To The Editor: If war were declared by the United States to- morrow, e gines of propaganda would be immediately set in motion. Every communicative process known to man would be utilized in an effort to educate the masses to war. The newspapers would distort facts. Speakers, utlizing the radio, would glory in exagger- ation. All energies would be directed toward the suc- cessful prosecution of the war by fair or foul means. This perhaps is as it should be. When the nation is faced with possible invasion and disaster is upon us, then such propaganda has some justification. Understanding, however, that this propaganda exists only as a means to an ultimate end, and that end, the perpetuation of American ideals and institutions, But at a time when the world is heavily laden with economic problems traceable in a large measure to the "Great War," militaristic propaganda is not in order. I refer to the news short which is now show- ing at a local theatre. An announcement that the government is serious- ly considering a reduction of naval appropriations provides the lead for the news item. Then the film Increasingly, the outstanding problem in public health welfare is one of education. The older technic in public health often required little or no under- standing and cooperation on the part of the people. These environment and law enforcement procedures solved a number of important problems but are quite futile in dealing with present day pressing public health questions. The program which offers most hope now requires understanding and cooperation upon the part of the individual. Such a program, designated as one of health education, has a very broad scope in methods and application. Since the program is one of education and train- ing, the most strategic focus is in schools of the vary- ing grades. The college is recognized as an important place for the development of ideals of civic leader- ship in health work. Many colleges have formal courses of instruction in hygiene required of all students. These courses are justified but have often lacked the success which the subject warrants. While many things in the student's experience contribute to his health educa- tion, the absence of regular proper courses of instruc- tion in health for all students at Michigan may be considered as a serious omission from the curriculum. The subject matter and methods of presentation have been mainly responsible for the fact that the required college courses in hygiene have often failed to receive the respect given to other courses. They have been referred to as the yellow dog in the pack. Subject matter has varied widely to meet a great variation in material covered in secondary schools, and to satisfy personal and unscientific notions on the part of instructors in this subject. Much progress has been made in the standardiza- tion of subject matter and teacher qualifications at all levels of hygiene instruction. The trend of events gives added weight to the opinion that every college graduate should have a proper appreciation of many questions which con- cern the health welfare of the individual, the family, and society in general. ff C ad DRAMA John McCormack, the distinguished Irish tenor, who will be heard in Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor, in the Choral Union Series, Wednesday night, October 21, received an ovation at the huge Denver Auditor- ium, when he inaugurated his concert series in that city: "This occasion marked the official opening of the current musical season in Denver. It was the prelude to seven concerts comprising the Slack-Oberfelder series and if the attendance may be accepted as an indication of sustained public patronage during the winter, it would appear that musical entertainment is not to be included in the general program of cur- tailment. That the famous Irish tenor has retained his uncontested niche in the hearts of Denver admir- ers was attested by the warmth of his reception when he first appeared upon the platform and by the per- sistent applause which brought him back to add numerous unprogrammed songs during the evening. As has long been his custom in recital programs, Mr. McCormack began with selections which fall under the general classification of 'serious mnusic' and re- served for the latter half, those Irish ballads in the interpretation of which he is inimitable. Monday night his first 'Minnelied', a Handel excerpt and an aria by the early Italian Vinci. Songs by Arthur Foote, Brahms and Sir Hubert Parry in the second group completed the singer's offering of conventional numbers. From then on he devoted himself almost exclusively to the presentation of Irish songs, some of. them new and others selected from his tried and true favorites. It may still truthfully be said that no other singer has approached his artistry in this type of song. Fervent sentiment, unctious wit, naive simplicity, all function appropriately and spontaneously in his in- terpretations. Monday night's audience manifested insatiable relish for the Irish ballads, and McCormack was recalled again and again to add to this number. At a belated hour, after the printed program was finished and some people were leaving the auditor- ium he sang Bartlett's venerable 'Dream'. Mr. Edwin Schneider, who has long been asso- ciated with Mr. McCormack, played most sympa- thetic accompaniments and also contributed a solo group which earned much applause."' POLIIE As Is customary at this time of year, Caucuses are about to be held for the mammoth State St. vs. Washtenaw Annual Political Fias- co. Nobody has ever been able to forward a satisfactory explanation to this department as to why any- one should bother about such a business, but the fact remains each year there is a solemn gathering of earnest young fellows at s o m e house or other where speeches are made. Not very good speeches either. * *~ * There is an attractive ele- ment of mystery in these pro- ceedings, however, uninterest- ing as they seem on the sur- face. Every time they are held, this department has a repre- sentative in each Caucus, and, up to date, nothing has ever been done in the actual elec- tions which had anything at all to do with what was said therein. We do not mean to insinuate by the above that there is no use in these little. gatherings. Far from it! The fact is that they serve an excellent purpose in disposing of a lot of silly ideas before the actual work of electing is done up in the Student Council offices or some- where. * * * Rolls takes this opportunity to make a nomination' for each ticket which will, we hope, eliminate the customary fifteen hours of hooie which usually precedes the first suggestion of this sort. We really hope to save a lot of fine fellows a great deal of time which they may spend in some profitable occu- pation like preparing classes or shooting craps or both.

M. Powis Smith and Dr. Edgar Goodspeed of University of Chi- cago is to have, was made public today. The Lord's Prayer, for example, will read as follows: "Our Father in Heaven, Your name be revered. Your kingdom come! Your will be done on earth as it is done in Heaven! Give us today bread for the day. And forgive us our debts as we have forgiven our debtors. And do not subject us to tempta- tion, But deliver us from the evil one." The new Bible is to make its ap- pearance next Nov. 1. o * Federal investigation into the workings of the master counterfeiter believed to be the head of the gang that distributed bogus football tickets here last Saturday is under way.
