fOW To Get
Your Man...
U NIVERSITY OFFICIALS are con-
stantly striving in more ways than
one to interest prospective students in coming
here for their further education.
On one spring week-end especially, the program
3f conventions. and other events is so arranged
as to attract a large number of high school students
to Ann Arbor. With the state championship de-
bate finals as the chief feature, the Schoolmasters
club and other teacher gatherings for educators,
and the annual meeting of high school editors,
all held concurrently last year, large numbers of
youngsters invaded the campus, some finding time
apart from their other activities to look around the
University plant a little and talk with a few col-
lege students.
Such programs certainly help to popularize the
University, but they do not go far enough. Even to
come here for as short a time as a week-end re-
quires an expenditure of time and money that most
high school boys and girls do not feel that they
can afford. And when they are here for only a
few hectic days, the impression they take back
with them must be pretty lop-sided or pretty
hazy.
The Universities of Illinois and Chicago no
longer sit passively waiting for a few live boys and
girls to inquire about their facilities and activities.
These two schools have made talking moving pic-
tures of life on their respective campuses, the pic-
tures being sent to high schools throughout the
state to be exhibited at school assemblies.
School authorities in Michigan would undoubt-
edly welcome such an enlightened aid in advising
students regarding choice of a college or university.
The university that uses it has quite a jump on its
more retiring rivals.

At Princeton each class wears its own model.

have a white beer suit with a large blue eagle on
the back for their Jnsignia. They thought that
the suit was quite nifty looking and patriotic and
they were quite pleased as only a Princeton man
can be? with their choice. On what corresponds
to "Swing Out Day" hei e, a large group of seniors
were sitting on the steps of one of the buildings
admiring their new costumes when a rather elderly
woman approached one of the group and said:
"I beg your pardon, but can you tell me what
labor union is on strike here?"
.A tree has been dedicated to each class at Evans-
ville College. Seniors have a cherry tree, juniors
have a hazel nut tree, sophomores have a peach
tree and freshmen have a red haw tree.
A loud arrogant freshman at the University
of Oklahoma crowded into the front line of
the registrar's office and blustered out, "I

"You can't enroll here," he was told.
"Then where can I go," he demanded.

A southwestern college freshman recently on an
exam said that a "filibuster" is a noisy congress-
man." The professor was tempted to mark this
correct on the yearling's paper.
Other questions in current problems yield
further humorous information:
"Bill Terry is the iron man of bicycle riding."
"Hitler is the viceroy of India."
"The brain trust is composed mostly of physi-
clans and surgeons."

Little Men,
What Now?.
SOME TIME MONDAY NIGHT a
large '38 was smeared with tar on
the sidewalk in front of Angell Hall. As this is a
University, where class spirit is traditionally sup-
posed to abound some may think it unfair to desig-
nate the occurrence as vandalism. Most under-
graduates must realize, however, that under no
circumstances can such conduct be condoned.
As a result of the action, the University was
forced to send a truckload of men with cleansing
equipment to try to remove the unsightly figures.
Naturally, this could not be completely accomp-
lished. Now for some time the entrance to this,
one of the most attractive buildings on the campus
will be marred.
It may not have been the action of freshmen at
all but merely an attempt by upperclassmen to
stimulate underclass rivalry. If that is so, it is all
the more to be regretted that several years on the
Michigan campus have not taught these students
the difference between class spirit and plain
"horse-play."
If, on the other hand, it was really a band of
freshmen, we sincerely hope that they will soon
outgrow their high school paint-splashing days
and get the real Michigan spirit. In high school
it was smart to be collegiate. Here at the Uni-
versity that is no longer the case.
SMichigan has a fine old campus, one which exer-
cises a spell over those who have been here for
short or long periods. It certainly does not add to
its beauty to have these evidences of puerility
splattered on its walks.

Last One On Ward
To the Editor
A week from this coming Saturday there is a
football game scheduled between the University
of Michigan and Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech is a
southern school. By the same token it is a Jim-
Crow school, that is, Negroes are not allowed to at-
tend the school. At this date it appears to be defi-
nitely established, at least it hasn't been denied,
that the Michigan coaches have agreed not to let
Ward play in the Georgia Tech game.
This is a case of the most flagrant type of race
discrimination. There can be no excuse that Ward
is not a good player, he turned in almost the
only decent game for Michigan last week. Almost
all the football writers last year slated him for
All-American this year. No, the case is plainly one
of not allowing Ward to play merely because he
is a Negro.
This entire affair is an insult to the Michigan
student body, which numbers almost every race
among its members. No other school has seen fit
to come out with such an insolent request; the
entire Western Conference and many eastern
schools have accepted Ward unquestioningly.
Students, we must organize to put Ward into the
Georgia Tech game or have the game cancelled,
-L. Smullin.
NOTE: The Daily believes:
1. That if the athletic department forgot it had
Ward on its football team when it scheduled a
game with Georgia Tech, it was astonishingly for-
getful; that if it was conscious of Ward's being
on the team but scheduled the game anyway, it
was extraordinarily stupid.
2.hThat the line-upeof the team -regardless of
what motivation there was for scheduling this
game --is the concern of the coach and no one
else, and that an attempt by any organization to
force the playing of any individual is out of place.
3. That the National Student League is not
concerned with the fate of Ward so much as it is
with rousing an uproar which will help to propa-
gandize its own principles.

As Others See I
O. K., Dr. Butler
R. NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER deplores the
manners and personal conduct of the youth of
today, he stated at the opening exercises of Co-
lumbia University last week. "In respect to man-
n ers and personal conduct, present-day habits as
I manifested in every sort of public place and per-
sonal relationship are time and again quite
shocking. One wonders why it is that youth can
come to full adolescent years with no apparent
appreciation between good manners and their
opposite."
O.K., Dr. Butler, we accept your verdict. Our
manners are terrible. We don't always stand when
you enter the room; we smoke in the street; we
keep our fought-for places in street car and sub-
way, though the aged and female stand in the aisle.
On the other count, we plead guilty. Our personal
conduct, judged by the standards of your youth, is
shocking. Well, we changed the standards. We had
to. Your's didn't fit.

JF PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT dictated his latest
fireside talk to the nation vexed by doubts as
to whether it was prepared to follow through in No-
vember on things it started with his election in
'32, what he had to say would be open to one
interpretation.
The restraint, moderation, and reassurances to
conservative and middle-of-the-road popular opin-
ion with which the message was filled, could have
been read as an effort to stave off loss of working
majorities needed in Congress to carry forward
Roosevelt plans.
But it just isn't possible that the President has
any doubts as to what will happen in the NovemberI
elections. The sources of his detailed political in-
formation have none, The old adage about M1 ain1;
pointing the way of national political trends is due
for decisive confirmation in their view.
N THE CIRCUMSTANCES, a defensive "New
Deal" address was not essential. A fighting
speech keyed to election probabilities might have
been a better vote-getter. Yet the presidential fire-
side talk was filled with conciliatory gestures to-
ward a supposed gravely-alarmed business.
It was soft-spoken, even about NRA and the de-
gree to which regimented industrial planning may
be carried into permanent national economics. It
reiterated the oft-repeated Roper theme that the
"New Deal" is no foe of the profit motive.
Now there is a direct, personal presidential reas-
surance such as the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States questionnaire besought. If there
is a left trend to that language, it would take an
anti-New Deal brain-truster to spot it. It is gen-
eral, of course.
No specific reply to chamber queries about mone-
tary policy, budget balancing, or even that amaz-
ing request for administration "policy toward agri-
culture," was forthcoming. Even lacking that, the
presidential address was a bid for middle-of-the-
road confidence.
JUST WHY? The speech reflects the same con-
cern over local community failure to shoulder
a full share of the relief burden previously voiced
by the President. It proposes a capital-labor truce,
without prejudice to either side tn any pending dis-
pute, for an unindicated "test" period that probably
would mean all winter. It reaffirms the adminis-
tration purpose to continue to safeguard national
"human resources." yet by implication recognizes
