We can teach them, in a few weeks, all we want them to know about business in the special course for college graduates which ,we have organized for this purpose.' The late dean of the literary college, John R. Effinger, once said: "That education is most prac- tical which, quite apart from business or sci- entific success, will assure the student a reasonable happiness and satisfaction in life. To train a stu- dent exclusively for a narrow career may be prac- tical in one sense, but surely it is more practical to train him in such a way that he will understand the world about him and be able to play his part therein intelligently and helpfully, whatever may be his business or profession. "The primary aim of an education should be to educate a man for himself rather than for his business. What he is able to do with his leisure time often determines the kind of man he is. To enable a man to make the wisest use of his leisure time, to provide him with resources which will put him in contact with interests far afield from the routine of his daily business, this is surely practical education."

NIGHT EDITOR: BERNARD WEISSMAN Buy A Goodfellow Mic igan Daily... THUS FAR, the Daily Goodfellow drive is encouraging for many rea- sons. Honor societies have come forward with remark- able enthusiasm and offered contributions in both money and labor. They are taking another great step in their transition to usefulness and a jus- tification of existence. The Daily Goodfellow drive is an attempt to make an intelligent application of generosity. Charity, as we have said before, though well in- tended is not always intelligently applied. This is one of the mistakes of the past that we are trying to correct. Everyone has been cooperating splendidly. Mer- chants, townspeople, students and University of- ficials have all responded generously. Charity seems to be the one cause that will unite every race, religion and political belief. Remember, you can insure a Christmas to some- one who would otherwise have none, by buying a Goodfellow Daily! Mr. Ludwig Will Succeed... A MERICA, in the opinion of Emil Ludwig, needs another depression. Mr. Ludwig said he likes to be unpopular. He thought he was succeeding in that endeavor by advocating that the United States join the League of Nations, but his audience fooled him by ap- plauding vigorously. But if he really wishes to make Americans dislike him, we can think of no better formula than frequent reiterations of the statement that we need another depression. The tremendous headaches that we suffered dur- ing the last five years, while their pangs are defi- nitely easing, are still keen in our memory, and, anyone who tells us we "need" another one stands a very good chance to be tarred and feathered. But to strike a more serious note, Mr. Ludwig's statement does have a point. In this depression, as in past economic crises, we have found many flaws in our economic and governmental systems. We have attempted to correct those flaws, and in doing so we have progressed. It is the age-old question of long and short run effects and results. It may be true, as Mr. Lud- wig believes, that depressions do us good in the long run. But they are mighty unpleasant while we are having them. Education For Ourselves.. . ANY PARENTS and students want M an education which can be turned into dollars and cents in the shortest possible time. For many students, such a course of study is undoubtedly the right thing. A few months in a business college will give them a knowledge of stenography, typewriting, and elementary book- keeping which will prepare them for a job in an office without much delay. The simple technique of chemical analyses can be easily learned and a place in some industrial laboratory might be se- cured. By these illustrations we see that there are ways in which to obtain a severely practical edu- cation. Yet all of us aren't enrolled in this University to learn to typewrite. Wisely, most college students are looking farther ahead, and are thinking about fitting themselves by a slower nrocess for more I i Letters published in thisdcolumn should notrbe construed as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily. Anonymous contributions will be disregarded. The names of communicants will, however, be regarded as confidential upon request. Contributors are asked to be brief, the editors reserving the right to condense all letters of over 300 words and to accept or reject fetters upon the criteria of general editorial importance and interest to the campus. Temperance Education To the Editor: As all-inclusive as college curricula may be to- day, they are strikingly incomplete in one respect.' The student has no possibility of learning the 'udiments of drinking. Whatever "education" has been acquired is of an extra-curricular nature, certainly the result of a socially-wasteful and trial and-error method. The most basic solution to the problem would be to make absolute abstinence a hard and fast rule for the student body. This proposal is, however, grossly idealistic. The history of the past 10 years can be used as ample proof for definitely refuting this argument. It being assumed that many college students will imbibe intoxicants, the practical problem is to modify this practice to the extent that there is a minimum of evils present. One method, of course, is a rigid regulatory control reminiscent of the prohibition era. But such action does not strike deeply enough. Intervention of an educational nature on the part of the University would, if functioning effec- tively, attain two benefits. The character of social life and school tradition could be disassociated from that alcoholic aroma which has been the dis- tinguishing feature of college life for the more sober adult world. Secondly, the psycho-physical deterioration which accompanies unwise indulg- ence could be prevented to a great extent. It would require a master propagandist to hypnotize the student body of 1935 to accept any plan of liquor education. An unwise decision might cause an eruption of latent collegiate criticism, an action probably permanently detri- mental to the plan. But the fruits of the plan would be ample bait to call for a great expendi- ture of effort and possible sacrifice. How such a system of education should be ad- ministered is a problem for an expert. Whatever details he might adopt, the most logical plan should be based upon the theory that students will be vitally interested in whatever affects their future chances for success. The course could thus be subtly directed towards a revelation of the handicaps that excessive drinking can inflict upon the student, who suffers in physiological deterioration and in loss of social prestige. -S.S.D. "As Others See It The Conning Tower CITY ANTHEM Music from "Iolanthe" When Gotham really swam in gold- (In Jimmy Walker's time) The City Hall made no pretence Of anything but affluence Or need to save a dime; Yet Gotham won her proudest bays In Jimmy Walker's holidays. Yes, Gotham won her proudest bays In Jimmy Walker's holidays. Add It Can't Happen Here: The Mount Vernon Choral Society wil not permit Haendel's "Messiah" to be sung in the auditorium of Washington Junior High School because the Board of Education re- gards it as "sectarian." Instructions to that effect have been given by Dr. William H. Holmes, super- intendent of schools. Well, on Christmas Eve through Greenwich Vil- lage will be sung, and sung beautifully, those "sectarian" carols, "Good King Wenceslas," "The First Noel," and "Adeste Fideles." Now is the time for the Board of Aldermen, or even the Board of Education, to protest. APATHY NOTE No longer I read the public prints For news about the Dionne Quints. It seems to us that the slogan of Miss Blanche Griffith, of Hutchinson, Kansas, is ambiguous. She is organizing a temperance chorus to sing against the guzzling that is supposed, by her, to accompany the holiday season. Her theme is "Drink dry, buy dry." Now, a good many of us drink dry, but what? We drink the bar dry; and it is only when we are dry, perhaps, that we buy. But what shall they sing in Hutchinson, where they spend money like sober sailors? "Land- lord, Empty the Flowing Bowl?" "Water, Water, Wildflower?" "There is a Hydrant in the Town?" Young Mr. Jay Berwanger, the University of Chicago football player who ran a mile during the 1935 season - why, on November 30 we walked more than two miles, from the railroad station to the Bowl, just to see one game - said, with an insouciance that argues that two careers are mu- tually exclusive instead of coincident, "I would prefer to enter a business career rather than athletics." THE ROSS READER Sir: If it comes to getting up Readers we can get one up ourself, and how many octogenarians creaking along through life can remember these classics -or will admit they read them? "Old Mam'selle's Secret," "The Second Wife," "Gold Elsie" were adored. That beautiful red hair of the Second Wife! "The Opening of a Chest- nut Burr" everybody, but Everybody, read. "Char- lotte Temple" we read and learned to dread city slickers. "Lena Rivers" was handed to us because it was the first novel mother ever read. It was not so hot. "Beulah" was another accepted with reservations because she had a bulging, intelligent brow, but was neither chic nor good looking. "Ish- mael, or In the Depths" and its sequel "So-and-so, or Out of the Depths," each of them about the size of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, was read many times. Distinctly do we remember Nora, who had to pin up her beautiful hair with a thorn; for, Reader, she was too poor to buy a hairpin! That degree of poverty fascinated us. Even during the past (by the grace of God) Depression, we bought our bobby pins at Woolworth's with proper restraint and caution, mindful of the time wlien we would be reduced to hunting a thorn. (Where do you hunt thorns?) Nora, even without hairpins, perhaps because of the lack of them, caught the eye of the Young Master, and Ishmael, Child of Shame, was the result. And that was why the haughty Claudia spurned Ishmael. But did Clau- dia get hers! Just read "Whatever-It-Is, or Out of the Depths" and find out. The day was blessed when Aunt Kate would unlock the bookcase and allow us to read again Ethelyn's Mistake." "The Romance of Two Worlds," with Zara and that electric jewel, awed us. "The First Violin" was virtually read to pieces. The snakey "Elsie Venner," "The History of David Grieve," and "Marcella" in two volumes are still alive. "The Silence of Dean Maitland" (alas, those Young Masters), and that Cat who Knew Him on the fatal night was loved, mostly for the cat.* Who, today, ever heard of "Told in the Hills" or "Parish of Two"? -B. Ross. *The cat's name was Mark Antony. No, I never forget ANYTHING. Of course, the word is Bouillabaisse. As one contrib who has orthographical trouble tells us, he always calls it fish soup.

For right in the first act occurs: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, A Washington BYSTANDER By KIRKE SIMPSON W ASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Wheth- er political party platform veter- ans were concerned with the drafting of the "Platform for American In- dustry" by the New York business "congress," does not appear. A read- ing of the three newspaper columns it takes to print the platform sug- gests they were not. Certainly as a political document, and that is what the adoption of the name "platform" makes it, it lacks most of the vote getting props that politicians always have deemed the essential element of party platforms. It is a safe guess that not enough voters will read that "Platform for American Industry" in its entirety for it to have any influence whatever on election results. Voters do not even read regular party platforms. They cull out the affirmative planks as abstracted and dramatized for them by party stump orators. Each minority group tests party declara- tions by the promises made of bene- fits to come for that group. * * * * AND here is a platform that makes no promises. It admittedly has no affirmative side, unless one is to say that repeal of the "new deal," lock, stock and barrel, is an affirma- tive proposition. The New York plat- form by its own say-so does not go beyond that. "In opposing unsound economic and social measures it is unnecessary to propose alternatives," that plat- form frankly asserts. "It is far more constructive to expose such measures to the light of experience and subject them to the test of logic." Exactly how the New York platform builders expect to enlist labor, for in- stance, or the mighty farm vote or the soldier vote, to say nothing of the Townsend plan and the share-the- wealth advocates, or a dozen other such groups behind an exposure plat- form, is difficult to see. What about the 10,000,000 unemployed and 20,- 000,000 still on relief referred to in the first sentence of the platform? They have votes also. * * * * O SOME Washington political on- lookers the New York platform seemed an even more definite ges- ture from the conservatives for a po- litical realignment than President Roosevelt made toward a liberal grouping across old party lines at the time of his election. To date little has come of that Roosevelt gesture. As the 1936 campaign swings into ac- tion there is very little to suggest any probable departure from traditional party alignments. It is to be a Re- publican-Democratic struggle lacking even the third party threat represent- ed by the late Senator Huey Long. That being the case, the "Platform for American Industry" can only seek expression and political effect on the Republican side, Democratic efforts to picture it even now to the country as just a G.O.P. preliminary are to be expected. The Democrats will be busy plastering "big business" stick- ers where they might do them the most political good. THE STAGE Received by a sympathetic audi- ence, Ann Arbor's stars of the future put on an entertaining, hilarious am- ateur show at the Michigan Theatre last night. The audience, eager to help the young entertainers, came supplied with sound-effects, the usual alarm clocks, and a gong. Thus, every im- itator found in the audience a rooster for his chicken, and a bell for every cow. The contest was won by two charming young ladies, Maxine and Dorothy, about five and seven years old, whose singing and dancing cap- tivated the listeners. Second prize went to Bob Goldstein, who did a really fine job at the organ, and, from all indications, won himself a perma- nent position at the Michigan as well as a prize. , The high-point of the program, as far as entertainment value is con- cerned, was supplied by Miss Tilly Schwartz, whose undergarments somehow broke loose, and slipped down to her ankles in the course of her song. Almost all of the songs were char- acterized by one fault - the singer's forgetting the words, and either gaz- ing pathetically at the pianist or freezing to a standstill. One young lady so troubled left the stage on the verge of tears, while the audience boo-hooed sympathetically. There were hot singers, and there was a singer who brought her own accompanist. There were tap and acrobatic dancers. There was a pi- ano player and an accordianist. And there were some artists who cannot accurately be classified in any group. Such, was the young man who pro- fessed to be a humourist. He con- tributed to the festivities largely by appearing on the stage a number of times when he thought he heard his name called, and finally just stand- ing beside the microphone and wait- SATURDAY, DEC. 14, 1935 VOL.

The Halfback And His Hire (From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) A COLLEGE PROFESSOR has broken a lance for, let us say, the semi-forgotten man. Who may that be? You'll be surprised. He is the foot- ball player. The professor had a good deal to say about foot- ball as operated in our higher institutions of learning. A good football team, he insists, does not just happen. It is bought. A ranking eleven, wherever found, he asserts, is commercialized. And that's all right with the professor. - What he objects to is the bland air of innocence the uni- versity dons cultivate. All is white as the lily, as far as they know. That's their attitude. "Faugh!" says the prof. He wants them to come out frankly, acknowledge that college football of real class is operated as a business, take the public fully into their confidence, do away with the pretense, -and watch the mob come to the stadium. Good old meal-ticket mob will be present and shouting. even as now. The mob does not care a whoop, the prof. says, whether a triple-threat chap is a bona fide student or on the state pay- roll. It's what he can do out there on the grid- iron that engages Mr. Spectator. But when the veil is lifted, there is this other item on the agenda- that of paying the player a just compensation. The halfback is worthy of his hire, the prof. says. Is he getting it? Nobody knows, outside of the surreptitious angel or the un- identified board that manages such things. What
