GROEHN Stadia For Scholars.. .. UNDER THE MANY GREAT college stadia that sprang up in this coun- try in the decade of the 20's is an enormous amount of waste space. Regardless of whether these foot- ball plants were scientifically designed or grew up at random, there was inevitably tremendous room under concrete stands that could not be completely utilized even by dressing rooms and hot dog stands. . Many football spectators have wondered what could be done to avoid waste space in a modern stadium. Two solutions were forthcoming. One was the bowl, as adopted here at Michigan. The other is exemplified in Ohio State's Tower Club, a co- operative dormitory for men located in the sta- dium there. Almost 200 men from all parts of the state were enrolled in the dormitory as it opened this year. Of these, 120 are freshmen, all but seven of whom were in the upper third of their high school classes and 20 of whom held first place in their respective classes. The group represents 63 out of 88 counties in Ohio. Thirty-two are preparing for engineering, 15 for teaching, 10 for law, 9 for busi- ness, and 8 for medicine. A similar group of 75 who lived in Tower Clubb last year maintained an average of only slightly less than B. Their experience convinced university officials that the plan of providing low-priced liv- ing accommodations for men of outstanding schol- arship and good character is a substantial one. It's certainly a case of dramatic irony that in a coliseum built for athletic spectacles scholarship should be fostered. But it's none the less bene- ficial to the .morale of the University.

Deplores Lack Of Spirit To the Editor: Ever since I can remember I have planned on coming tb Michigan. Ever, since I can remember I've heard of the famed Michigan spirit and linked the two together . . . Now rve come - pre- pared for a school spirit that would be worth trav- eling several thousand miles to see. Yet, to my astonishment, I have found it so lacking as to be keenly disappointing. Where is this spirit? Is it mythical, has it dis- appeared into thin air, or has it merely died out? Having noticed none around the campus, I took an optimistic frame of mind and waited for the first.football game. No wonder the team lost! The idea of spirit here seems to be cheering for a winning team and booing if it is defeated. No en- couragement seems to be sent from the stands to the team, except at times when they need it least -after some winning play. Even this cheering is rather feeble, as if the students felt that they really should cheer, but were rather ashamed. of it. None of the "This is my college, and win or lose, I'm for it" idea seems to have penetrated anyone's head here. Another noticeable feature is the poor sports- manship displayed by the Michigan stands. Dur- ing the Michigan State game, Michigan State sang their "Alma Mater" with more'loyalty and pep than I've heard anyone use in singing "The Yellow and Blue." After the finish, in the Michigan stands, several people had the audacity to jeer. Among the colleges in the West, where I come from, any- one attempting such 4 sacrilege would be removed at once from the stadium .. . Another objection I have is the manner in which the yells are conducted. I will admit that the gymnastics of the yell leaders may be amusing, but as far as encouraging natural spontaneity, they fail miserably. Probably part of this failure is due to the small variety of cheers they have to work with. Thus far I've only heard two. Certainly no stand wants to spend an entire game using the same invariable yells ... Why is it that Michigan students do nothing about this situation? I doubt if I am the only one who feels this way. Will this lack of spirit become a Michigan tradition, or will this famed loyalty rise again to proclaim Michigan "the champions of the West?" -E.M.A. As Others SeeIt' CO LLEG ATE OBSERVER By. -RUD. BERNARD Here's 4 catty story coming from the University of Wisco sin: campus. A Theta was telling her Kappa fri zids (?) that she didn't believe in pun- ishing pledges for doing mean things. "Why I think we ought 4be thankful for having pledges that do things lik'that," she continued. Then her friend chimed, "you all ought to be thankful for having pledges." What price marks! The University of California offers a five dollar refund on tuition for all stu- dents who receive all "A's." "Dear Bud," writes B.B.L. "I have noticed quite a bit of news in your column concerning the A.E Phis. Allow me to dedicate this poem to them 'lere's' to your virtue- So good you are. Here's to my sins- So bad I am. But as good as you are And as bad as Iam 'm as good as you are As bad as Iam. (Editor's Note: I will not be responsible for any reaction this poem starts). Freshmen turned the tables on a group of seniors at Hobart' College, who had ,gathered to paddle them and 'showed their disapproval of such pro- ceedings Very forcibly before the seniors again had them in tow. * * * Here's a poem with a moral sent in by a junior: "Little Jack Horner Sat in a corner B .O." Will this suit him the brute! A student at Illinois State Teachers College is going to sue one of his classmates for hitting him on the back of the head with a yo-yo. Careful boys, or the next law suit will probably involve injuries received during a Tiddle-Wink game. They used to say the best thing for hysterics according to a co-ed at Indiana University was a lKiss. The only question now is how to give ' t a girl hysterics. * * They are all angry with the goat raiser's daughter at the University of Missouri because she thinks she can always butt in. A Washington BYSTANDER i Insidious Investment . . BEHIND THE INNOCUOUS front of the organization known as the American Association for Economic Education is the fund of the Investor's Syndicate, Minneapolis investment corporation. In a special news release to. college editors, the association proposed recently that under their guidance, courses in money management be made compulsory in all high schools and colleges. Text books are to be provided by themselves, at cost. "Emphasis is being laid by this company on the high percentage of financial illiteracy which still exists, despite our well-organized educational sys- tem, and a nation-wide campaign is under way to secure the interest and support of parent- teacher associations and educational authorities," they say. The organization boasts of so-called "prominent" educators who are backing the movement, men and women, who if they are at all well-known, ought not be proud of the fact. The association even boasts of having on its board Edith N. Rogers, Congresswoman from Massachusetts, who recently. introduced a bill in Congress which would make compulsory the teaching of money management in every school that receives any Federal aid. To some readers the picture presents nothing wrong. Financial illiteracy is undoubtedly a prev- alent and serious condition. Pointing out that industry seeks to stretch its long and sinuous arm into schools, newspapers, legislatures, courts, and political parties, that. it may influence the people in general, to impose upon us its scales of value, its ideas of wise' and unwise public policy, a book now being used as a text in the economics, department here says that "here we are undoubtedly face to face with the kernel of the problem of industrial control -how to protect life itself from being too completely dom- inated by the process of getting a living." We appreciate the interest that the Investors Syndicate is showing in our educational system. On the other hand, our schools, one of the few institutions not altogether absorbed and con-' trolled as yet by big business, ought to be pre- served as long as possible from its leprous hand. By KIRKE SIMPSON KIPLING'S re-enlisted British regular, into whose mouth he put that joyous, "back to the army again, sergeant; back to the army again," will have nothihg on "G. A. Lynch, Army and Navy Club," one of these days. For that is the way Col. George A. Lynch, United States Army, now drafted for service as first mate of the NRA ship, appears in the books. When he gets his NRA release - and he hopes and expects to get it almost any day -his heart will sing that "back to the army" refrain even more! joyously than did Kipling's barrackroom ballaiist. Picking his successor to be executive officer of the revamped NRA under the board that has taken over General Johnson's one-time vast au- .thority is quite a job. Its difficulties easily might upset Lynch's fond expectation of soon resuming his Army title and removing himself to an Army post environment far from the maddening clash of "ologies" and "isms" centering about NRA. His military efficiency, his ability at organization de- tail, his aloofness to all philosophical reactions in carrying out any task entrusted to him, must make him an ideal lieutenant to the NRA board. But he is bent on getting back to the Army. "I'm a soldier," Lynch says with twinkling eyes. "I'm not used to working long hours in peace times." * * * * WHEN-- AND IF - he does escape from NRA, Lynch will leave behind him a codification of the regulations governing that complicated recov- ery mechanism of which he is very proud. Quite likely that was the specific job his former army colleague, General Johnson, dragged him out of his contented military life to do. Among his Army achievements is a job of regu- lation writing that endures to this day in the military service. He was assigned to write or rewrite Army field regulations. That was after the war. War lessons, both of A.E.F. and home ex- perience, and first hand observation of European military systems, had to be woven into this primary textbook of the army. Lynch did it. "And those regulations .still stand," he observes now with much more pride than he takes in his unique place in the NRA scheme of things. "They have stood for 11 years. That is an Army record. No previous similar regulations stood longer than1 six years." THAT THE LYNCH-CODIFIED NRA regulations could possibly stand up any such length of time nobody can suppose. NRA is too strange an off-shoot of national policy to permit very definite prediction as to where it is going. Some "New Deal" opponents delight in saying it's just going I. . .. . . _ . have been "HERE'S YOU R FATHER NOW, KAY" TELEPHONE CALL each week will keep you in close touch with home.... will bring you the' voices of Father and Mother, sister and brother, telling: you, "We're fine"... will let them know that you are; well and thinking of them.

Either the committee can invest its al- logwance in a few of the country's outstanding lecturers, or it can bring, to the campus a greater number of less expensive and less prominent speakers. In former years when larger funds were available for paying convocation speakers, the committees in charge of the weekly programs brought to stu- dentsand faculty members only the finest lecturers, orators, and entertainers America had to offer. These speakers invariably drew capacity crowds. It was only when a little-known speaker was run in that students shied at attendance. It was the best or none for the majority.
