On With The
Baseball Wars!
S IINCE 1929 when Michigan won its
last Big Ten baseball championship,'
Maize and Blue baseball teams have played to
half-filled or empty stands at home games, despite
the fact that Coach Fisher's teams have never
finished below third in the standings.
During the 1920's when Michigan was always a
favorite for the Conference title and captured1
more championships than any other Big Ten uni-
versity, grandstand seats were at a premium be-
fore game time. The usual crowd numbered higher
than 6,000 with an all-time local attendance rec-
ord of 9,000 being set at a game with Harvard
in 1929. In the two home games played to date,7
this season, attendance has barely averaged 1,500.
This contrast in attitude between the fat and'
lean years is a sad reflection on the sportsman-
ship of Michigan students.
Even among those who attend there are few
spontaneous outbursts of razzirig and cheering ig-
nited during the course of a contest. Spectators
sit through a game in a phlegmatic mood, applaud-
ing mechanically when good plays are made, but
they possess none of the heated interest or repartee
which is as integral a part of baseball atmosphere
as the playing.+
With students admitted free of charge upon+
presentation of their athletic coupon books, it's
hard to imagine a cheaper and more enjoyable
afternoon than one spent in watching a good ball
game.
Today Michigan meets Illinois at Ferry Field.
The Illini and Wolverines are arch diamond rivals.
Added impetus is given today's game for the
Illini are leading the Conference with Michigan
one game behind. The victor will be en-
trenched in first place, the favorite to take the title.
Illinois outdraws Michigan at Champaign by a+
three-fold margin over the attendance in Ann
Arbor. This year Michigan has the best team it's
had since the championship seasons ending five
years ago. And we think the weather man must+
have just about shot his bolt. Everything else
would suggest that the student body show enough;
interest to set a respectable attendance mark.
The Interneship
Idea Spreads .. .
A NEW CURRICULUM for teachers,
including a pre-education college
^ourses," after which the best of the preparing
students would be picked to enter the actual
Heacher training institution. Here their general
education would continue, on the grounds that they
must not confine themselves to the narrow field of
their specialization, but be able to correlate the
different fields of learning for their students.
The extraordinary feature of the proposal, how-
aver, is the year of interneship before a position as
leacher is accepted. Here, if the plan is put into
ffect, the prospective teacher will get his practice
teaching, here he will begin to specialize. The Uni-
versity, another speaker revealed, has at present
uch an arrangement with the Grosse Pointe
schools.
Seconding the physician in his proposal of a
teacher-training similar to the regime of medical
school were two educators, Prof. Raleigh Schorling
of the School of Education, and Prof. Thomas
Carter of Albion. Seldom is it that an Army offi-
cial will agree to what a Navy man says about the
Army, so in a case like this, the plan must indeed
have promise.
The interneship, if adopted.-and it is being
thought of in other fields than these-will in addi-
tion aid placement, both from the point of view
of the teacher and the school board. A record of
the candidate's. actions under teaching conditions
will be available, and the prospective teachers will
have contact with their field while seeking em-
Dloyment.

University Control Of Dramatics
(From the Stanford Daily)
THE PRESENT SYSTEM of student control of
dramatics on the campus appears doomed.
From the source in actual control of the dramat-
ics situation came a resolution yesterday to the
effect that it would be best for the control of
Stanford dramatics to be vested in University
jurisdiction.
In making this decision, the Dramatics Council
was making no grandstand play, nor was it acting
without due deliberation and thought upon the
question. In the present status, the council feels
that student control is jeopardizing the future
prestige and artistic accomplishments of campus
dramatics.
Meetings were held with Dr. Wilbur on the
subject of transferring control of dramatics from
the student body to the University. Such a move
is favored, on the condition that should this
step be taken, it would mean that henceforth
students would have no authority in determin-
ing policy in regard to any dramatics on the
campus.
The most important single factor in determining
yesterday's resolution results from looking ahead
to the future of dramatics at Stanford. Next
year a new theater will be begun, and ready for
practical occupancy a short time after ground-
breaking.
With the new facilities of this theater, it would
be extremely short-sighted to provide only for
student control of dramatics. Financial limita-
tions upon plays, a very limited type of instruc-
tion, and poor artistic results in a beautifully-
equipped building seem paradoxical.
Shifting control to University jurisdiction will
allow for an expansion of the dramatics pro-
gram, a well-staffed faculty, and the beginning
of a School of the Theater. The present spectacle
of campus talent migrating to the Palo Alto Com-
munity Theater, where it feels better oppor-
tunities are offered, would undoubtedly be halted.
Any plan which would call for a division of
authority between faculty and students would
prove incompatible. It would be impractical to
employ any set-up allowing students to exercise
some degree of authority under faculty super-
vision, or vice versa.
For the sake of future drama on the campus, it
would seem that the latter move is the wiser one,
and would, in the end prove most beneficial to
the students. However, the Dramatics Council did
not in any way construe its resolution to mean that
should dramatics remain under control of the As-
sociated Students, its present status would be al-
tered.
This resolution is a wise move toward establish-
ing what is sorely needed at Stanford - a well-
staffed School of the Theater, and a renaissance of
campus dramatics. As such, it deserves support.
Defense Of Country
(From the Chicago Daily Tribune)
AN AUDIENCE at the University of Chicago as-
sembled last week to hear a symposium on the
question of bearing arms for national defense
and were offered, among other opinions, some
sound thinking by Maj. John L. Griffiths, athletic
commissioner of the Big Ten Conference. Major
Griffiths said he had been invited to defend the
patriotic side of the armed defense issue, and
added that he had been warned it would be the
unpopular side. He confessed inability to under-
stand why in such an environment the patriotic
side would be unpopular, but we suspect the confes-
sion was ironic rather than naive.
The prevalence of radical pacifism among college
youth is not, we think, as general as its occa-
sional, sensational advertisement has made it
appear. There is more of it and of other radical
doctrines than is good for America or its youth.
It seems to be industriously cultivated by some of
their teachers as well as by subversive agitators
from outside the college precincts. But mischiev-
ous as this influence is, we are confident the nor-
mal rank and file of American young manhood
and womanhood are not impressed by it. Upon
them, who will determine the quality of American
life, Major Griffith's exposure of the fallacies of
radical pacifism and his appeal to the virtues
which have sustained our own and every other
healthy and self-respecting people are not thrown
away.

COL-LEG--ATE
OBSERVER
° rrir' .... ____
By BUD BERNARD
Here's a humorous incident that occurred at a
recent hodse meeting at the University of Illinois.
One of the fraters suddenly came out of a deep
sleep.
"Mr. President, I rise to a point of information."
"Yes, what is it?"
"What is the resolution under consideration
here?'
"It is the resolution about-"
"Well, Mr. President, has the motion been put?"
"Yes, and the measure has been voted on."
"But, Mr. President, did I vote?"
"Yes, you voted."
"How did I vote, Mr. President?"
"In the negative."
"Very good, Mr. President."
The law students at Indiana University recently
challenged the medical students to a "donkey base-
ball" game, the new humorous sport that is sweep-
ing the country. The lawyers, however, backed out.
When asked why they issued the challenge and
then refused to play, one of the embryo-attorneys
said: "The medics have a larger supply of jack-
asses'than we have, and so would have the ad-
vantage."
"Dear Bud," writes H.O.L.: "Maybe this advice
is old but it may aid the few that have not heard
it."1
1. Women, deans and liquor are not to be
trusted.
2. The professors always have and always
will give the girls better grades.
3. You can't invite three girls to one dance
without getting into trouble with at least three
of them.
4. Some time you'll have to work.
The last is probably the hardest blow of all.
Observings from here and there - A reporter at
Columbia University recently questioned people on
the streets as to what they thought of college stu-
dents. Five out of six decreed that students were
"loafers" - Universities in Japan have only 35
women students - Lanny Ross' real name is Lan-
celot, Patrick Ross. He went to Yale and while
at school won the Yale 440-yard championship
end for a while held the intercollegiate 300-yard
record.
Here's two of the things that C.P.U., '36,
would do if he had $1,000,000.:
"I'd buy Japan and give it to William Ran-
dolph Hearst for a birthday gift.
"To Gertrude Stein would go either a free
trip to Pago Pago or a darn good edition of a
Webster's dictionary.. . or both."

WASHINGTON, May 3.
NOON in the Senate restaurant always is a scene
of excitement. Tourists crowd the halls to
gap at the legislative lions.
Most of the senators eat in an inside room, but
their parade through the main dining room is
enough for the curious.
Handsome and white-haired
Sen. George W. Norris of Ne-
braska walks slowly, uncon-
scious of others; young Sen.
Gerald P. Nye of North Da-
kota dashes through with a
handful of papers; Sen. J.
Ham Lewis of Illinois walks
daintily, bowing to right and
left; Sen. Carter Glass of Vir-
ginia wears a forbidding
frown; and Sen. Royal S.
G'o. tM'Y/.S/ Copeland of New York grins
broadly and stops often to talk to diners.
A quiet evening is a near impossibility in the
hotel apartment of Secretary of State Hull.
There are three telephones: his own private
phone, the hotel phone and a direct, private
line to the White House.
USING ONLY WORDS which have grown into
common usage in his section since 1889, Rep.
Josh Lee of Oklahoma told the history of his state
to the house as follows:
"Bull-whacker, gambler, cattle king, squaw-man,
war-paint, branding iron, cattle rustler, settler,
boomer, sooner, covered wagon, outlaw, the
Jameses, the Daltons, the Doolins; sod-plow,
drought, the Chisholm Trail, cyclone, politics,
street fight, dugout, mustang, coyote, kaffir corn,
wheat, cotton, coal, lead, zinc and oil - oil - oil;
skyscraper and air field."
An old Texas friend of Vice President "Jack"
Garner sauntered into his office, and asked for
"Jack."
"I'm sorrry, but he's in conference," said the
secretary.
The clock showed 3 p.m. The Texas friend
thought of the Vice-President's daily afternoon
nap when he is home on his ranch.
"In conference with Morpheus, I suppose,"
said the visitor.
"No sir," said the secretary seriously, "Mr.
Merpheus hasn't been here today."
CONVENTION crowds were jamming a local ho-
tel lobby. Through them circulated a meek
