' NIGHT EDITOR: ARTHUR M. TAUB Ann Arbor: Convention City. . .. N EXT WEEK-END will be one of N those unusual occasions - a week- end when educational activities outshine all others. Since academic interests dominate the week, it is slot as paradoxical as it sounds that week-ends devoted primarily to such matters should be rather infrequent. Be that as it may, the last Friday and Saturday of April have come to be marked, by the regular annual occurrence of a group of events emphasiz- ing education and scholarship. Teachers and school heads will be drawn to Ann Arbor from all parts of the state by the 70th meet- ing of the Michigan Schoolmasters' Club and allied gatherings, including the annual Conference for Teachers, and the Conference on Teacher Train- 1ng. As usual the finals of the state high school debat- ing contest will come Friday night, attracting many parents and school students, and an exhibition in- tercollegiate debate will be offered in the after- noon. Students chosen to Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi will be announced in connection with the Honors Convocation, and all those accorded scholastic recognition for the year will be hon- cred again at the same time, while the University community is given an opportunity to hear a dis- tinguished outside speaker. For the sake of University students who are temporarily discommoded by so much intellectual- ism at one time, it is fortunate that some of the educational gatherings, such as the Spring Parley and the Michigan Interscholastic Press meetings will be saved over to make another big week-end as May begins. Back Country Crossings .. R ECENT NEWS from Washington is to the effect that $200,000,000 of the $4,800,000,000 work relief appropriation is to go for the elimination of grade crossings throughout the country, with a view toward eliminating one of the most dangerous combinations in American traffic fatalities - the train and the automobile. Appropriately enough, the announcement was made on the same day that morning papers carried the news of the recent collision of a school bus and railroad express which cost the lives of 14 curred at a poorly-marked crossing. The accident ast winter in which two men lost their lives when :he car in which they were driving through a blind- ng snowstorm crashed into a freight train on the Pontiac road is one which could have been avoided had the danger spot been properly marked at that time. As it was, a small yellow "X, set high above the headlight field, was useless under bad visibility conditions. A part of President Roosevelt's $200,000,000 would well be spent, then, on the back roads of the country for good crossing markers, rather than for the construction alone of expensive bridges or superhighways over one or two lines of track. AsOthers See It A Universal Exam (From the Daily Texan) A UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO professor recently presented the following questions to Lambda Delta, honorary society for freshman girls: Have you learned how to make friends and keep them? Do you know what it is to be a friend yourself? Are you good for anything yourself? Can you be happy alone? Can you look on the world and see anything except dollars and cents? Can you look into a mud puddle by the wayside and see anything besides mud? Can you look into the sky at night and see be- yond the stars? These questions offer a challenge not only to the co-ed but also to the male student. After all, are they not the key to what one should be seeking above all else in a college education? No matter if a person is the world's best authority on electrical engineering, or a Phi Beta Kappa in any other line, his education will be decidedly lacking in a most important respect if he is unable to give satisfactory answers to such questions. From his own personal standpoint his life will be barren, though an impersonal world sees fit to praise him to the skies. Planning For Land And Water (From The Daily Iowan) ANNOUNCEMENT Tuesday that Rexford G. Tug- well will begin administration of a national coordinated land use program gives welcome prom- ise that the monumental report of the National Planning Board on land and water use will bear at least partial fruit. There can be no poss bility of exaggeration, even by planning enthusiasts, of the vital importance of adequate planning for the use of land and water resources. The day is fast approaching when continued dis- regard for these fundamental resources and their ,proper use will bring conditions of such appalling misery to the farm population that discomforts of other years will be negligible. The nature of our government, under which co- ordinated action is slow and cumbersome, almost precludes the possibility of swift enforcement of any far-flung program. But this difficulty must be overcome through public understanding of the need. The problem was well stated by the Missis- sippi Valley committee in the introduction of its report on the problems of that area: "Planning for the use and control of water is planning for most of the basic functions of the life of the nation. We cannot plan for water unless we plan for the whole people. It is of little use to control rivers unless we also master the condi- tions which make for the security and freedom of human life. The need for planning arises out of the needs and desires of the people. Under the proven system of democracy no plan can be im- posed upon the people., Government may inform, educate and guide. It may mobilize resources for the common task. It cannot dictate. What must \be sought is effective means for carrying out the common purpose, not only in the interest of the living generation but for the protection and en- hancement of the lives of all the generations to come. We are but tenants and transients on the earth. Let us hand down our heritage not only un- impaired but enriched to those who come after us." Future Citizenry (From the Los Angeles Junior Collegian) TOPPING TO ANALYZE a portion of college life prevalent on the campus and yet seemingly unapparent, is the question of tools, toil and to- morrow. Nearly 5,000 men and women of this institution are going through the process of being educated with the community bearing the brunt of the ex- pense. These persons and their contemporaries in other institutions will form the nucleus of tomor- row's civilization. What return will they make to their communities and state? To these 5,000-odd men and women comes the necessity of facing today's problems and offering tomorrow the solution to the enigma of poverty, and of doing away with a vast public indebtedness. The great races of this earth disintegrated and passed into oblivion only when the simplicity of home life became lost in the pursuit of riotous living. In the search of some manner of improve- ment, something tangible with which to stem the flow of this rapidly descending sea of destruction, we must first turn to the producing factor of the race, the home. Improvement of home life in turn improves the individual and the individual in turn builds the life of community and state. The destiny of the race rests largely upon the shoulders of each individual of the succeeding generation. Will our education in economics, poli- tics and in social betterment prove a boon to our future citizenry? Methods in which we employ the tools gained at home and in educational fields will determine for us tomorrow's success in the field of the eternal struggle for existence. COL LEG IATE OBSERVER By BUD BERNARD "Dear Bud," writes E.O.P. '36, "supposing that the craze for giving anything and everybody a theme song had not died down, how would some like these do?" Michigan co-ed - "I Never Had a Chance." Huey Long - "Talking to Myself." Jimmy Walker - "No More Money in the Bank." Dionne's - "Once In a Blue Moon." Michigan Football Team - "I've Had My Moments." Greta Garbo - "Solitude." Chicago - "Let's Take a Walk Around the Block." Hollywood - "I Saw Stars." The Sorority Across the Street - "Love Thy Neighbor." Co-eds again take it on the chin. An article in a recent issue of the Loyola News states that the co-eds are suspected of deliberately making low grades in their courses so that men in the same courses will feel superior and ask the "dumb" co- eds for "dates." We think this charge is just a trifle unfair. Some of the girls really may be trying. A student at the University of California re- cently moved into a new boarding house, and at the same time decided that it would be a good thing if he learned to play a musical in- strument. After all, with times as they were, it was a good policy to have something to fall back upon, and musicans, particularly mem- bers of dance bands, seemed to be doing well all the time. Besides it would be nice to have something to do without going out of the house. And so after deliberation, the student bought himself a new saxophone, and after awhile, the strains of popular tunes, mangled a bit it is true, but as the student himself expresses it, "what the - I mean, what of it," could be heard all over the immediate vicinity of the student's house. Not long after this, the student encountered one of his neighboring students in the barber shop, and was struck by a sudden thought. "Does my practicing ever bother you, or make you nervous?" he asked. "Well," said the sympathetic neighbor, "It did make me nervous at first, particularly when I heard the people 'round discussing it. "But now I've gotten so I don't care what happens to you." What a Hearst reporter says about his boss. We picked this up in the news columns of the Daily Northwestern: 4 "We do just what the old man orders. One week he orders a campaign against rats. The next day he orders a campaign against dope peddlers. Then he orders a campaign against professors and the "red activities" in uni- versities and colleges. It's all the bunk but orders are orders." Washington Off The Record By SIGRID ARNE WASHINGTON, April 20. REP. JOSH LEE of Oklahoma brought a laugh to the House's discussion for taking profits out of war by telling a story about the socks "our dear ladies knitted" during the World War. "One of the boys put on a pair," he said, "and started to hike. He felt something like gravel in ene shoe, and shortly he was limping. Finally he was ordered to fall out of line. "He unrolled it and found a note from the knitter back home which said, 'God bless you, poor tired feet!' " There was.a noticeable and unusual length to the President's black locks. Despite protests from his family, he remained adamant. He would not have them cut - just then. The reason: MacDuffic, the President's valet for many years, was away. And MacDuffie prides himself on being the only one who cuts the presidential hair. So the President and the locks awaited MacDuffie's return. YJ HERE were gasps of delight when Assistant Secretary of War Harry Woodring and his wife moved into "His Lordship's Kindness," one of the more famous colonial homes near Washing- ton. But the Woodrings have discovered a drawback. The front door has a huge, old-fashioned, brass lock. The key is so big that Woodring can't carry it in a pocket. So he and his wife set out for dinner -and toss the door key in the back seat of their car. Mrs. Walter George, wife of the senator from Georgia, had been absent from teas for several days. Then she returned to the social whirl. "Where, and how, have you been?" she was greeted. "Terrible!" she said, "if you have all after- noon I'll tell you. I had laryngitis, and now I have to catch up on four days' talking I couldn't do." SPRING SEEMED SO imminent that Rep. Mary Norton of New Jersey decided to buy a new bonnet. She was a bit ashamed to wear a winter hat down-town, so she dug out a little, black spring hat she bought three years ago. THE COMPLETE By Albert D. Taylor, MA S. A. Assisted by Gordon D. Cooper, B.

SOMEHOW, with the passing of Easter, we feel that Spring has really arrived. Trees and grass turn green; everything seems a bit more beautiful; life a bit more enjoyable. We turn to lighter clothes and don odd costumes with that "studied carelessness." Merchants prick up their ears with the first cheep of the robin, knowing only too well that that means new Spring clothes. They also know that we are looking for bargains, and have decided that the best way to let you know about these is through The Michigan Daily z: "T V "'
