Apparently Michigan voters feel that they didn't get their share of the New Deal. Quick to place such an interpretation upon the evidence, Federal officials are reported planning to award work proj- ects in Michigan to aggregate over a million dol- lars during the next month. Perhaps it is only in- cidental that this grant immediately precedes the gubernatorial election which will determine a strategic approval or rejection of the principles of the present administration. Control over public funds and public jobs is a trust placed in the hands of public officers. Ordinarily it has been the custom of the parties to consider these trusts as part of the spoils, and both jobs and funds have been, and are being, distributed not to the best advantage of the cit- izenry, but to gain the most political support for the incumbent party. If Michigan's share of relief funds is forthcoming in no other way, she will have to be content with these eleventh hour gifts. But, alas, the con- sternation in high places if Michigan voters should smile cynically at this old trick to gain political patronage as they cast their ballots in November. Faculty Members Please Copy. . T HERE IS A HERETIC in the ranks of the faculty! Meeting his class for the first time, the gentle- man in question announced that there would be no text for the course. After two months deliberation over three possibilities, he told the bewildered stu- dents, he had decided to give up all of them as inadequate, inaccurate, or antiquated. In all the history of higher education there had been only three ways of meeting such a dilemma as was his. The professor could (1) require the stu- dent to buy that one of the books which was least obnoxious and read the others in the Library, (2) require the purchase of all the books in question, or (3) write his own text, eliminating all unpleas- ant details except the matter of cost to the student. With all text books, and particularly those in the social sciences, outliving their usefulness from a point of time before their covers even become soiled, and with the cost of red bindings what it remains in these days of doubtful prosperity, the student who is not rich must pray that he will stumble into the courses of this new-found hereti or of some other pedagog with an insight into the state of undergraduate resources. As Others SEit A Time For Teaching IT ISNOW an accepted fact that the University enrollment for this semester will be larger than last year, and it is possible that all enrollment figures will be broken. That is cause for rejoicing. The more education that is ladeled out, the better our society will be- come. That, at least, is accepted as a logical con- clusion. But there is another angle that should not be- overlooked. There is a cause behind this increase in enroll- ment and that cause should be explored. It shouldq lead to an interesting enlightenment. A great num- ber of those students who will increase the uni- versity's registration figure this semester will do so because they could not get a job and make a living elsewhere. They can save a few dollars and come to school, better themselves to a certain de- gree, and when times get better, go back into the world again. Others will be here because they can get govern- ment jobs and be partially self-supporting while- at home they would be entirely dependent. They will of course gain by the move. They will profit by being here, and the university will profit by the extra service it can afford the state by having them here. But there is one thing that should be driven home to these "added" students, and that is an explanation of the circumstances behind their being here as they are --some with government jobs, others because they cannot get profitable jobs elsewhere. But they should know that they have been put here by society that is not able to absorb them. They should learn that to keep the enrollments of educational institutions up to par the government has had to appropriate an emergency fund. They should learn that society has run itself into a non- progressive circle and that for the past few years has been on the downward curve of that circle. They should learn that in this land of plenty only very few have even enough. They should learn that a maldistribution of our nation's wealth has made it impossible for a vast number of their brethren to get the education they are about to receive. If they do not learn that university professors will have failed in their duty; and the great good inherent in the entire FERA program will be lost to the whole of society. -The Oklahoma Daily, The Last Line IT WOULD CERTAINLY be nice if that caption pertained to the long registration line in which law-abiding students stood last Friday and Satur- day. But it is certain that the only thing to cut short the registration ordeal will be graduation. It seems a shame that U.C.L.A. should so relig- iously retain that archaic custom in bringing its innocents back into the fold each semester. And it is even more a shame that transfers from other Universities ask if all U.C.L.A. life is as uncom- fortable as the semi-annual herding. These transfers invariably bring stories of reg- istration days, or sometimes weeks in their former Almamas. In other places they do it by mail, or they do it by appointment, or they do it at leisure. In addition to the physical discomfort. there n~~ By BUD BERNARD Here's a story coming from the Ohio State campus: An English professor at that institution called a trembling frosh up to his desk, after the class had been dismissed, and asked him in a harsh voice whether he knew the essay he handed in was one of Emerson's. The boy turned white and said in a bitter voice: "I got it from one of my fraternity brothers, but I never thought he could be such a lowdown cheat!" Collegiate Observer ** * * A Theta pledge at the University of Illinois recently asked a member of that house whether a head of a sorority house is called a necker- chief. * *' * * Louisville State College brings us a new angle on how to pass examinations. Hot chocolate and cake were served at a recent examination. But I understand the students that flunked the test alibied about indigestion. According to a columnist on one of the Big Ten publications the coach of their football team has performed a miracle. He's taught the varsity squad to count up to ten. * * * * R.E.B. sends in the following poem (?): Good morning, little rushlets, A pleasant sleep I hope? Eat drink and be merry Wait'll next week, you dope. The only difference, says a co-ed at the University of Wisconsin, between a college student and a miser is that the college student isn't tight all the time. A professor at Oklahoma A. & M: who is said to understand the collegian's mind was lecturing to his class on the stern necessity of getting to work. "Why, when I was nine years old," said the pro- fessor, "my father decided I ought to learn to swim so he took me down to the river and tossed me in and I swam out." From the back of the room came a voice, "Yeah, but he probably didn't expect you to." * * * * The boys at the University of Indiana used to call a certain Delta Gam cinder -she used to be hot stuff. i The ORIGINAL (Directly Opposite the Campus) I After your coffee at the Parrot drop in next door and "browse."

We nominate this for the worst pun of the week: A student at the University of Indiana says- some Chinese students ought to be good debaters, as tong wars are right in their line. A Washington BYSTANDER -I A NNO UNCf**ING The Latest GARGOYLE BARGAIN Gargoyle, Life and TimekA allifor . . . . . . . p I Pretty Lively For A Corpse . 0 N RECENT YEARS efforts of the Gargoyle's funnymen to put out a magazine have often been far funnier than the magazine itself. Clinging vaguely to an outmoded collegiate style of magazine, the Gargoyle shrank in size and in the esteem of its public until few persons would even take a free copy except to read the exchanges. If the truth be told the Gargoyle ebbed so far' that it finally had either to ebb out of the picture for good or start the comeback that is proverbially impossible. It chose the latter course and turned over a new leaf at the beginning of last year. The Gargoyle has not become a New Yorker in one year. But its editors, dedicated to the task of finding something that would make this skep- tical campus look and buy once more, introduced many new features and ideas, several of which alone made it almost worth the cover charge. More improvements are to be introduced this year, first of which will be a monthly short story. Not only does the Gargoyle need something of the sort to give it more substantiality, but it has opened a field of competition for budding young campus authors, who have long suffered, and occasionally remarked on, the absence of a local market for their work. To the campus at large now belongs something of a stake in its erstwhile humor magazine. Should its fickle fancy be tickled at what the Gargoyle editors have done for it, many martyrs would feel that they had not torn their hair in vain. They might very easily go on to develop the magazine further along the same lines, eventually assuring their magazine of a rightful place under the arm of every Michigan student who has 15 cents to spend for a Michigan publication in that field._ Federal Government -. To The Rescue. . NN ARBOR IS ASKING for well over $400,000 from one of the many alphabetical associations located in Washington in order that it may construct its long-proposed sewage disposal piant. By KIRKE SIMPSON DECISION of American Federation of Labor leadership to call the roll before election of Congressional and other candidates on such things as the 30-hour week, old age pensions, unemploy- ment insurance and other such controversial mat- ters due for airing in the next Congress, marks a definite change in federation policy. To what it may lead, federation leaders themselves probably do not know. The idea of questionairing all nomi- nees in such specific fashion under threat of inter- preting failure to answer as an anti-labor declara- tion, to be dealt with accordingly, however, is en- tirely new in federation practice. Not many Congressional nominees can afford to risk possible election-day consequences of a failure to reply. As the situation now stands, there is considerable embarrassment involved for admin- istration supporters. The Roosevelt social reform program for next winter still is in a preliminary stage. It is possible one object of federation leaders was to force crystalization of that program into tentative bills before election, in order to gather commitments in advance among Congressional contestees. THERE IS AN EVEN larger possible significance to the federation's new move. That it repre- sents an effort of the present federation leadership -to meet the expected cry at the federation's own convention for new blood and bolder policy at the top, is hardly to be doubted. But it goes far beyond merely attempting to consolidate ground already won by organized labor under NRA or otherwise. It lays down an organized labor plat- form of future action. Heretofore, the federation over a period of years has stuck to a policy of non-partisanship in poli- tics. It has been for its friends and against its foes, regardless of what party labels they wore. Having provided itself with a platform now, it is not a far jump from that to nomination of labor party candidates to stand on that platform. HERETOFORE in this country labor party move- ments have not flourished. The nation has been too traditionally set in the old two-party sys- . 7 19 315 MICHIGANEN SIAN CAMPUS, SALE II I THURSDAY FRIDAY 11 Price 0 0 , . , e a ..$3.50 ,.. $100 First Installment.
