P ROF. JOHN E. TRACY of the Law
School advises students who are
interested in the law only as a means of earning
a living to stay out of the profession. "You can
earn a much better living at something else,"
he said. "But . .. if you feel that you would rather
practice law at half the income than to do any-
thing else . . . we welcome you."
Dean James B Edmonson of the School of Edu-
cation declared in a radio talk last spring that
teaching is "the worst paid and the best rewarded"
of the professions. It is a field one must enter
for the joy of the work, he said. "No teacher will
ever become rich on his salary."
Dr. W. W. Bishop, University Librarian, said
some months ago, "I should tell you very frankly
that there is no chance of growing rich in library
work. There is a living in it -and a career of
public service - that's about all."
And unless oui memory fails us, similar words
have been uttered in regard to practically every
calling into which an unwary youth might chance
to fall. Journalists and their fellow Bohemians
- artists of all sorts-have always lived from
hand to mouth. The farmer is a forgotten man.
Medicine involves long, irregular hours as well as
little pecuniary reward. The ministry is poverty-
stricken. Jittery business men never expect to
make a profit again.
Quaint saying, 1950: Look, son, there goes a
man who made a living.

COLL.EGIATE
OBSERVER
By BUD BERNARD
It was one of those discussion courses at Indiana
University where the professor urges everyone in
the class to voice his opinion on the topics stud-
ied. In the back row of the class sat a fellow who
seemed to keep aloof from all the argumentation.
It was noticed that he attended very regularly,
every day, in fact, although attendance was not
required. He seemed to listen attentively to all
that was said and occasionaily jotted down a note
or two. He had such an air of general studiousness
that all the others regarded him with something
like awe. Came the day of the first examination,
and one fellow, who had done much arguing but
little studying, felt rather unprepared. According-
ly he decided to grab a seat next to the silent lad,
and perhaps glean a bit of information in the
tight places. He got the privileged place all right,
and about half way through the exam noticed that
his neighbor wasn't writing anything, although
tie sat with a blank bluebook before him. Thinking
that a word to the wise would be sufficient, he
leaned over and whispered, "Say you'd better
start writing! This exam is a hellava tough one."
The silent fellow, slowiy turned, leaned over,
and whispered back, "Yes, I know. I wrote it."
Needless to say, our friend flunked the exam.
Do you. laugh at puns? If you do, you are
not of the highest intelligence, according to a
psychology professor at Harvard University. Re-
cent tests in classrooms revealed that the stu-
dents who were Ieceiving the lowest grades fairly
roared at the puns cracked by the professors.
The smarties merely assumed a pained expression.
An Ithaca co-ed appeared recently at the
veterinary school at Cornell University with
a cat. It seems as though the cat was of a
very emotional nature and spent his nights
away from home, following his amorous pur-
suits. This trait was very distressing to the
lady and 'she sought some way to straighten
out the moral character of her pet. The doc-
tor promised his aid, took the cat, and sent
the co-ed away contented. After a few yaps
she returned, and took the sadder but more
virtuous animal with her. However, about a
week later, she returned again, and informed
the doctor that the cat still walked at night,
and seemed to be no better than before. The
doctor, sure of his skill, was puzzled. After
several moments of deep thought he an-
nounccd his solution.
"Madam," he said, "we have never failhd
.in a situation of this kind. Your cat has prob-
ably been out breaking his previous dates."
The fundamental trouble with a collegef
education says a senior at the University of
Missouri is that even a math major can't pay
$32.63 worth of debts with $9.08.

The Importance
Of Dormitories .
i
T IS THE FUNCTION of a liberal
education to administer to the
needs of developing students in the most diverse
of ways. Not the least of these is to make possible
social contacts between students and between
faculty and students that are stimulating and
beneficial.
Fraternities and sororities arose out of the de-
mand for adequate means of social expression
as well as for better housing conditions. The
University has built dormitories and provided
other housing arrangements for almost all its
women students.
In providing for independent men, Michigan
has scarcely made a beginning. In this respect
it lags behind almost every other university and
college in the country, state or otherwise. This
is not to suggest that University Administrations
have had no thought for dormitory construction.
They have repeatedly suggested in recent years
the advisability of providing accommodations, es-
pecially for freshmen men. But thus far in Mich-
igan history - and perhaps wisely enough -
other matters have always come first.
The present time seems a poor one for promot-
ing a building program of any kind, for it is
difficult enough to meet current expenses. But
it is essential that we do not lose sight of the im-
portance ofteventual dormitory accommodations.
It is time that interest in the housing situation
began to be stirred up into an activating force.
It is time that actual plans and ways and means
were discussed.
Dean Bursley, in his report to the President, de-
clared that the time is approaching when the
University will have to supply "improved living
conditions" for men students, in part, at least, in
dormitories owned and operated by the Uni-
versity. His conclusions are not intended as any
reflection on Ann Arbor landladies, but he fears
that decreased rents will continue to make it dif-
ficult or impossible for them to supply facilities
satisfactory to students.
Whatever the trend, it is certain that rooming
men students in private houses has imposed dis-
tinct hardships on those men. Scattered as they
are, Michigan independents have been almost a
negligible element in campus life. They have not
been able to organize for campus politics, only a
small number have been active in campus ac-
tivities, and an even smaller group has been able
to develop any sort of intramural athletic compe-,
tition. Strictly speaking, there have been no re-
strictions against independents participating in
campus activities. Actually, a large part of the1
Ad
Sense Of Humor
DARK DAYS OF DEPRESSION and the gloom
of final exams did not succeed in robbing the
collegiate press of its sense of humor. As the pour-
ing out of editorial souls that began in September
went on into February, these were among the bet-
ter bits:
(From the Ohio State Lantern)
From the University of California comes a report
of the existence of a student "note-taking" bu-
reau. A capable corps of note-takers-downers are
sent to campus lectures. The notes thus taken are
complied, copied and sold, thereby removing the
last remaining objection connected with college
education--that of attending classes.
The president of the institution has not as yet
acted upon the situation. But several courses of
action are open to him. He could, for instance,
get the faculty to write up the notes, mail them
to the students and then close the University. Or
he could publish them in book form, thereby mak-
ing a college education .available to everyone. Or
maybe he could run them as a serial in the adies
Home Journal.
But he probably won't. The cause of higher edu-
cation must go on. Students must be given some-
thing for their money so he'll probably change
the courses so that the notes won't apply, abolish
the bureau and reprimand its founders.
Things will degenerate to normal once again.
Students will once more arise at 8 a.m., plow
through Southern California grass to take their
own notes, and another menace to the existence
of institutions of higher learning will have been
eradicated.
(From The Minnesota Daily)
Among Arthur Brisbane's daily syndicated pro-
fundities recently appeared a short paragraph on
the subject of college girls. Said the noted col-
umnist, "There could be no better wife or mother
than a good college girl." To The Mihnesota Daily,
in its capacity as official student publication at the
University, this statement raises a serious question
of philological meaning.
Does Mr. Brisbane in using the term "good" to
describe a college girl have the classic conception
or the common campus conception of the word
in mind? The former meaning of the word is best
illustrated by a quotation from the poet who said,
"Be good, sweet maid, and let those who will, be
clever." The sort of co-ed who would qualify under
this definition is noted for her solid horse sense,
and her ability to please the college professor who
is on the lookout for "good" minds, if not for her
pulchritudity.
On the other hand, we have the college girl who
is defined as good by Joe College, himself. The
old phrase, "Good, she's gotta be good," best typ-
ifies her. The highest type of this sort of co-ed
is renowned for her ability to catch her man and
hold him. She rarely has many ideas outside the
realm of clothes, cute instructors and men in gen-
eral. But then, she succeeds without them. She
usually marrieseand may develop into a first
class social climber.
Mr. Brisbane, just what did you mean?
(From The Stanford Daily)
Students of Stanford University, who are ex-
cused if they have always regarded themselves with
a certain esteem as being part of the celebrated
upper five per cent, may be surprised and shocked
to learn that they have committed a grave error
in choosing Stanford as their alma mater.
For so says in effect President Rogers Embree
of the Julius Rosenwald Foundation when he ranks
American universities on their educational values.
Is a school's educational value measured by the
number and erudition of treatises published by
its students, the rank and prominence of its pro-
fessors, its size, its discoveries in research; or by the
public life of its graduates, their culture, usefulness
to the community, and ability to master and en-
joy life?
Not to include these latter qualities in an edu-
cational values yardstick would be likened to rating
a football team merely on the size of its members'
chest expansion, the color of their jerseys, or the
humber of cleats in their shoes.

THOSE HANDSOME whiskers of Chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes are a sort of triumph
over time. He tells with a smile of his mother's
concern over his delicate health in childhood. She
consoled him with:
"Well, anyway, Charlie, you'll never have to
bother with a beard."
A severe cold had sent Mrs. Harold Hinton
a capital socialite, to bed. She wanted the maid
downstairs, but couldn't attract her attention
because of a hoarse voice.
A little ingenuity solved the problem. She
reached for the phone, called a friend, asked
the friend to phone her house and tell the
maid to come u-pstairs. It worked.
DR. WILLIAM M. MANN, the popular director
of the national zoo here, has proved himself a
realist about city life.
He is going to put in a section of ordinary
barn-yard animals for the apartment-raised chil-
dren of Washington. Only the cow and dog will
be omitted.

The dog - "because a barking dog always seems

REP. WESLEY DISNEY of Oklahoma found it
necessary at the dinner table further to con-
vince his young son of the virtue of going to bed
early.
"Look at the Ludlows," said Disney referring
to his neighbors, "they send their boy to bed
early, too."
"Oh, well," answered the Disney young one,
"they're even more offensive than you are."
