Collection Of Coleridge Letters,
Edited By Griggs, Gets Praise

Former Spectator Editor
Writes Book Attackiog
Professionalisni
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-E'vpled
from Columbia University because of
the near-famous editorial in which
he called college football a "racket"
and advocated out-and-out profes-
sionalism, Reed Harris, former edi-
tor of the Columbia Spectator, has
published a book-"King Football,
the Vulgarization of the American
College"-in which he holds to the
opinions which led to his expulsion.
Flays Paid Amateurs
In bristling language he lashes the
subterfuges of paying players, which
he asserts are now employed by
nearly all colleges. He estimates that
"good" salaries for players are $2,216
per year for star quarterbacks, $2,-
033 for star fullbacks, and $1,991 for
halfbacks.
Nor does he limit his accusations
and condemnations to football alone.
In a chapter called "Knowledge Fac-
tories-What Product?" Harris says,
"We have mediocrity - wholesale
mediocrity . . . . We have people who
accept the advertisements as essen-
tially honest, who believe rather
vaguely in the goodness of Repub-
lico-Democratism and the badness of
Socialism, Communism, Pacifism,
and all the other isms so hated by
the American Legion."
Denounces Columbia
Included in the generally biting
comments on colleges is a scathing
denunciation of Columbia, his erst-
while alma mater, an unflattering
"Portrait of a University President,"
outspoken criticism of regimented
thought, lack of academic freedom,
and the fraternity system.

Secretarial School
Opens New Course
On 'Cafeteria' Plan
A secretarial school on the "cafe-
teria" plan has made 'Its appearance
in Ann Arbor.
The students in the school may
take large or small helpings of short-
hand, typing, or any other phase of
secretarial work in which they are
interested. According to H. M. Clark,
director of the school, the courses
do not conflict with those in the
University. The student comes in
any time of day that is most con-
venient.
In addition to courses in typing,
bookkeeping, and shorthand, the Ann
Arbor Secretarial S c h o o 1 offers
classes in office management, busi-
ness law, economics, and other sub-
jects essential to the training of
high-class secretaries.
The bar of the Walker Tavern, one
of the famous inns in the days of
Daniel Webster and James Fenimore
Cooper, is to be removed from Clin-
ton, Mich., to the Chicago World's
Fair.

Will Pay Wednesday
Payment will be made from 2 to 4
p. m. today and Wednesday at Lane
Hall to all students who sold books
through the M i c h i g a n Socialist
Club's co-operative book exchange,
according to Zeldon S. Cohen, '33,
manager of the exchange.
Sales closed Saturday, Cohen said,
terming the fall sale a "distinct suc-
cess."
"We feel that the experiment of
having two book sales a year proved
itself worthwhile," he declared. "We
plan another sale between semesters,
and hope for the repeated co-opera-
tion of the campus at that time."
