NIGHT EDITOR: PAUL J. ELLIOTT Answers To The TAXi Problem .. . N THE PAST WEEK Ann Arbor has awakened to the import of the taxicab ordinance which the City Council will con- sider on final reading tomorrow night - an ordi- nance which would restrict competition and stand- ardize taxi rates at their present high level. The issue has come up because at least three local companties believe that they can provide satisfactory transportation at lower prices. The Daily, in the interest of the student body, is anxious that recognition be given their view that lower prices can and should be charged. Student trade constitutes approximately 85 per cent of Ann Arbor's taxi business, and, we believe, student trade should receive primary considera- tion in any revision of taxi rates. Under the present system, the student is definitely not receiving a square deal. Most "campus" hauls can be made profitably at lower prices, and advocates of a downward revision in the rate schedule claim that business would be increased to such an extent that both students and the cab companies would benefit. This, then, is The Daily's plan: First, that the rate-standardization ordinance be not adopted by the City Council, because it would be in unfair restraint of trade and competi- tion. Second, that Council consult with representatives of all local taxi companies and attempt to hear all sides of the case. At present, apparently, it has not done this. Third, that some definite provision be made for .lowering prices to students, who are now supporting the bulk of cab operation in Ann Arbor. This, of course, will not all come about tomorrow night. But it will come in time, because it is the just and the fair thing to do. COLLEGIATE OBSERVER By BUD BERNARD Here's an answer to the DOPE ON BIG TEN BOYS sent in by A.O.A. THE LOW-DOWN ON CO-EDS The Madison co-eds are made, so we hear From hills, and roadhouses and bottles of beer. THE MICHIGAN CO-EDS ARE MADE, SO IT SEEMS, FROM FOND REMINISCENCE OF CHAMPION TEAMS. The gals from Purdue, if my memory serves Are made from the usual angles and curves. The Bloomington co-eds, who'll dance till they drop Are made from a step that is more of a hop. The type from Minnesota, if I have the dope, Are made from a step that is more of a hope. The Iowa co-eds, if I know their ilk, Are likewise confected from underwear silk. The gals from Chicago, one tells by their looks Are made out of glasses and ponderous books. The gals from Missouri one natch'lly thinks Are made out of jelly and fountain pen inks. The co-eds from Boulder (We move to the West): All of the co-eds think they are made best. The co-eds of Duke (We are now in the South) Are made out of vowels and juleps and mouth. The gals from McGill (We move to the North): If three men were ample would make a fourth. The women from colleg guarded by forts, Byrn Mawr and Vassar are made out of sorts. When some co-ed conscious young man ran an ad in the University of Minnesota Daily asking for Dutch treat dates, he received three responses all agreeable. One had a car, was a blonde an good looking and dressed well. Another liked the proposition so well she asked if the advertiser had a little Dutch boy friend for her little Dutch girl friend. *~ * * * Vassar, according to a sociology professor at Lehigh College, was founded by a brewer who was trying to prove that women really could be educated. Here are a group that a columnist at the Uni- versity of Oklahoma nomigates for the hall of fame: 1. The professor who never kept his class late, especially at noon. 2. The professor who never told the same joke twice. 3. The professor who gave his Monday eight o'clock a free cut when they came to class with sleepy faces. 4. The contributor who didn't copy his jokes and poems from humor magazines. 5. Santa Claus.

" T'S A CASE OF "system, system, who's got the system?" as far as the future of literary college class elections is con- cerned. The Man in the Street will never again .have such a golden opportunity to write his particular Utopia for the benefit of Michigan's undergraduate posterity. Given four score class positions, a dozen or more possible electoral boards, any number of impartial arbiters, 50 students who are interested and 3,000 who ought to be, 365 days in the year, and 12 inches in a foot, every student ought to be able to think out his very own election plan. The most complicated, of course, should win the prize. The old system of elections got so putrid that even the Undergraduate Council and leaders of political parties were stirred to action. Both came forward with plans that involve participation on behalf of everyone on campus whose name was e'er heard in song or story. The Man in the Street may never figure it all out, but he will still get his sacred right to vote, and that's the big thing. For if there is one thing that both the Under- graduate Council and the politicoes agree upon, it is that Michigan students must not be deprived of the ballot -however emasculated - for it is the living token of a democracy that will be upheld, even over the doters' dead bodies. Perhaps the Man in the Street should cheer the inspired decision by which he is allowed to flip the coin that will decide which of the Electoral Board's two or more candidates will reign over him. He's more likely to discover that the new system has lost all the zestful good sportsmanship of the political campaign but none of the under- cover maneuvers that good little boys and girls deplore. The element of blind man's bluff injected into the election picture by withholding the names of candidates until the morning of the voting adds a charming final touch. Thus, only in rare and unforseen cases will the best man be elected. Every- thing possible will be done to make sure that the voting student knows nothing about the election, on the theory that what he doesn't know can't hurt him. Let's be honest. If certain class positions are worth having, they are worth filling with the best Lettrs published in this column should not be contrued as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily.

Reverend Lynch merely led us in the "Our Father . . .", which if not a war blessing, in the mouths of uniforms, is at least unnecessarily non- committal. Mr. Bills sang beautifully, but only to invoke Kipling's ancient Thunder God, "Lord of our farflung battle line . . .". The speaker leaned backward to please the military, and mouthed con- ventional Christianity's cheerfully dull assurances that death is unimportant-it isn't so bad to die young, it seems, if you have really lived. And they died for, their country. They died, but cheer up, death is not the end. (I went there with the words from "All Quiet ..." burning my head; "Bombardment, barrage, cur- tain fires, mines, gas, tanks, machine guns, hand grenades-words, words, but they hold the horror of the world.. . The days, the weeks, the years out here shally come back again and march with us, our heads shall be clear, we shall have a purpose, and so we shall march, our dead comrades beside us, the years at the Front behind us:-against whom, against whom?" Are there none but the dead to march against those who, 16 years after, would try to salve our memories with the ghosts of the war's defunct idealisms?) Rabbi Heller's benediction, which would ordin- arily have been merely an appropriate final gesture, cut into this fog like a fresh wind: "Grant us peace, Thy most gracious gift, oh Thou Eternal Source of Peace, and enable us to be a messenger of peace unto the peoples of the earth. Endow us with that critical faculty which will enable us to see the brutality and selfishness of those who agi- tate for war, except it be, and it be truly, for de- fensive purposes. Help us to realize how much the doct'ine of the Fatherhood of God is a sham unless it carry with it the corollary of the Brother- hood of man ..." If you are an utter pacifist you may cavil at the word "defensive," but notice the word "truly," and you can hardly call this a blessing on the last war. Furthermore it only implies that if the war be truly defensive then those who agitate for it are not necessarily brutal and selfish. Let us be grateful that in the service there was one call for peace. K. B. L. Disillusioned JMan To the Editor: This letter is from a greatly disillusioned and disappointed student. The few ideals that I had left are all gone, and I am now nothing but an individual that takes everything as it comes with- out giving any thoughts about their improvement. The cause of this disillusionment is an infamous campus political scheme. The sophomore election capped the climax. It is practically unbelieveable to realize the low, dishonest political tricks tried at this University. Michigan, supposedly a home of culture and refinement, is the scene of some of the worst of big-city political tactics. It was with great pleasure that I saw the sopho- more ballot thrown out. I was quite active in one of the major parties and when I saw some of the disgusting tricks that our opponent pulled I was quite disappointed. It may be true that some of our cohorts did the same things but it was not brought to my attention and was entirely unsanc- It is impossible to purchase Tri- chlorethylene on the retail mar- ket so we arc offering FREE, with no obligation whatsoever, a sample bottle of this cleaning fluid.

She brings a story about a new antidote for the guest who stays too late. At an evening affair she was sitting near Gen. Rafael Nogales of Venezuela, she recounts, when she heard a vague buzzing. The general rose immediately to say his "good- byes." It seems he carries a pocket alarm watch which goes off promptly at 11 p.m. Dolly Gann, sister of former Vice-President Curtis, had to pay a $2 parking ticket. But, if she needed it, the incident gave her proof of her Negro chauffeur's complete loy- alty. He looked crestfallen as the traffic officer made out a ticket for him. As he took it he pro- tested, "Ain't you Democrats got enough yet?" THE NEW "BABY" Senator-Elect Rush D. Holt of West Virginia, finally obtained the birth- day present he wanted to give his mother. Her birthday falls on Nov. 6. He had promised her a senator for a son. WVHEN the Supreme Court justices move to their new majestic building, the old chamber will be preserved as a shrine. It recalls the winter of 1893 when rumors spread that the statues of justices which line the room moved and talked after dark. Some Capitol em- ployes refused to go near the room after dusk. Then John Montgomery Wright, marshal of the court, had the courage to investigate. He found that swinging lights outside the capitol produced the illusion of movement among the statues. ENRY P. FLETCHER, chairman of the Repub- lican National Committee, was talking to friends in a hotel lobby here after election day. There walked past them a woman who said rather loudly to her companions, "Is that the poor, miserable Mr. Fletcher?" Ths Republican chairman swung on his heel. in an artistic Envelope ready to mail.
