THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, ocT rOBDR 7, 193 of 1932 and 1933 made the eternal quest again seem hopeless. Never in recent years have Spartan followers been privileged to see a Michigan game at home. Annually large numbers of students have made the trip to Ann Arbor, yelled their hearts out, seen their game teams fail. This was State's year, but it could never have been except for the undying support of one of the most loyal student bodies in the country. But the goal posts are made of sterner stuff than they were in the old days. Forgotten In The Shuffle... F OR DAYS the entire country has been lost in the playing of the World Series. Every baseball fan has been en- grossed in the classic of the year, listening to hours of broadcasting and reading yards of newspaper copy. The public has adopted new heroes: Coch- rane, Gehringer, and Rowe; Frisch, Medwick, and the Deans. All the glare of this spotlight has dimmed the passing of a famous star of yesterday: the man admittedly the greatest drawing card in the his- tory of the game, the man who was different and made the game different, the man whose name was known to every baseball follower in the coun- try - the Sultan of Swat, Babe Ruth. With his team hopelessly out of a dying pen- nant race, the Babe's last game as a regular was highly played up by New York newspapers. But at the Yankee Stadium, his home grounds where he had thrilled millions of fans with his batting prowess, only a handful of faithful fans came out to witness his last effort. Ruth will not be away from the game long. His playing days may be gone, but he will never pass completely from the baseball picture. Some- one will reach out and offer him a position that will more fit his aging years. As Others See It The Late Joe College IT HAS RECENTLY been brought to our atten- tion that the day of Joe College has passed. For this enlightening bit of information we are in- debted to no less an authority than Princeton's own Day Edgar, writing in that self-styled "man's man" magazine, Esquire. Restraint, notes Mr. Edgar, is now characteristic of our leading institutions as loud and glorified boorishness was in the last decade, and there are definite signs of a growing sense of dignity and self-respect on the nation's campus. So far, so good. But even the optimistic Mr. Ed- gar must admit that there is a long road yet to travel. Merely to cease being openly obnoxious is not enough, however much of a relief the change may bring to these older citizens who had to rub elbows with the stuffed coonskin coats of the twenties. And right at the present there seems to be an imminent danger that restraint will be used as an excuse for letting others do the think- ing, the planning, and the execution of all that the future may bring to this sadly- puzzled world. Reserve is all very well, even in a college stu- dent, but like all good qualities it can be carried to highly dangerous extremes. And, simply be- cause it is easier to be snobbish than to be intel- ligent, to be a banker's son than to be even a moderately zealous political, social, or financial re- former, the products of our oldest and best uni- versities (the radjectives, it might be noted, are not necessarily synonymous) are contributing only a small fraction of their debt to the civilization which placed them in their position of opportunity. . Mr. Edgar, who has had a fairly wide experience in writing stories of campus life, mentions one fact of more than passing significance, namely, that most editors and readers prefer to have their un- dergraduate characters "amiably lampooned, treated as butts for comedy rather than as intel- ligent human beings." The reason behind this is no deep mystery. It follows naturally from the great American college custom of playing at life, of being absorbed more in the petty ripples of campus society, and in some cases, campus politics, than in the really significant events which are moving the world at large. But how to stir the American lethargy and push it into the outskirts of the public struggle is a problem to tax the wisdom of a sage. A not entirely hopeless problem, however. Joe Col- lege, as we have seen, has passed on, and in his time he too must have seemed an irremediable "evil. l 'T The Daily Princetonian. 1. i t oil -ISO COLLEGIATE OBSERVER s' By BUD BERNARD The Union Bal Will Prove It... Dances at the Union Ball are quite often an exhibit of Goldman craftmanship in making clothes look smart. Goldman's today do more than clean. By the modern process of Re-texturing they give every fabric the feel and hang of new goods. No weight is lost. Garments have a freshness and wearing quality that change all your ideas about dry cleaning. Any Goldman customer will tell you that Goldman dry cleaning costs less because garments hold shape and resist soil and stains much longer. An item in the University of Akron Daily gives the following advice to freshmen: To the women we say : Don't loaf excessively in establishments sur- rounding the campus - or portray yourself as a cigarette fiend in the aforementioned places. Leave your hi-de-ho high school manners andj reputations right where you got them. Don't rush the sorority - let it rush you. Don't kiss a fraternity man on the first date - some men talk. To the men we say: Forget what a big man you were at high school. Don't carry a bottle. Don't set yourself up as the ideal campus play- boy - fraternities are a little solicitous about their grade averages. Don't be a loud mouth. There are some other more serious things like halitosis which may hurt your chances to rate a social organization but we are through giving you pointers like this. A Phi Bete sends this word of warning to me: WORD OF WARNING Four long years he worked and sweated, Labored conscientiously, Crammed for tests and wrote his papers. Then he won his Phi Bete key. Now he's working at a counter, And while waiting to make sales Reaches for the gold insignia And calmly cleans his fingernails. Unless serious automobile accidents decrease a ban will be put on cars on the University of North- western campus. "And what," asked a professor of economics at the University of Illinois, "is a vicious circle?" "A fraternity bull session," came the reply from the back of the room. * * " *$ The Richmond Collegian, which describes it- self as a humanitarian newspaper will begin in its next issue a series of articles on just how an ideal man or an ideal girl should be. We under- stand that the foremost lovers on the campus will express their views. A Manchester college student phoning to request a date, was met with: "I'm sorry, but I am afraid you are just a little bit late.

He was one of dozens of business men and government officials registered at a hotel here to speed their related conferences. - One meeting started bright and early in Bullitt's room while he was taking a shower. Heated argu- ment developed, Bullitt yelling his views between splashes. Finally he dashed out dripping, a towel around his waist, saying he'd get someone to prove his point. He charged into the hall just as a cabinet wife emerged from her suite. She gasped. He stopped short, bowed elaborately and said: "Good morning. Imagine meeting you here!" A harried and hurried deputy administrator of NRA dropped into the code record section for detailed information he needed. "The dog food code," he said to a fluttering young woman in charge. She handed him a file. He glanced at it, and handed it back. That's the manganese code," he snapped. "Y-e-e-s," she cooed, "you know, those cute little brown-eyed ones with short legs." THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES is wondering when people will finally stop believing that queer story about halibut. They still write in to ask if halibut have heads like mermaids. It seems the legend grew up because halibut are always brought to shore headless and cleaned. That is simply because they are caught far out from shore and the fishermen have time to clean them before they dock. So far the ultimate at NRA has been reached by the hoboes. They wrote asking for a code. WHEN THE ARMY began preparations for the Mexican-American army polo matches here they asked that Potomac Park, the scene of the matches, be roped off. They planned to charge for admission. "Sorry, this is public property," said park police. But there were the boxes. The army sent a dele- gation to Secretary Ickes of interior. As such, he is director of public parks. The delegation offered him a box at $50. "What in thunder !" he exploded. "Say, that's one of my parks."

This Would Come Up To The Editor: Inasmuch as the program of the National Stu- dent League declares itself unequivocally for polit- ical, social, and economic equality for all racial mi- norities, the Michigan chapter of the N.S.L. has sent the following open letter to Fielding H. Yost and Harry Kipke: "A number of unverified rumors have been cir- culating around campus to the effect that Willis Wara1 will be barred from the Georgia Tech game because of the fact that he is a negro. The National Student League, determined to fight all forms of racial discrimination, is naturally concerned about these rumors. Therefore, we respectfully ask you either to verify or deny these rumors within the next two or three days.
