THE MICHIGAN DAILY 3E MICHIGAN DAILY -. "1' Give The Band A Hand . . C ERTAINLY all of us have enjoyed the Varsity Band during these past few weeks. We have an opportunity to prove that and to show our appreciation to the boys in the "Fighting Hundred" by attending Varsity Night Tuesday in Hill Auditorium-the only occasion throughout the year when the band asks any admission charge. The band performed on more than 50 occa- sions last year and many timles gave up other engagements to play on a few hours' notice. Let's give the boys a big hand Tuesday- and incidentally push their chances of going to Philadelphia for the Pennsylvania game as they did last year. Ij.

R EVELATIONS of a phase of the American University system as vi- cious in its effects as it is startling and incredible are made in an article by John R. Tunis in a recent Scribner's Ma'gazine. Tunis, who has gained a wide if somewhat mixed fame as com- pientator on the nation's institutions of higher jearning, declares that college students are being bribed, bought and even kidnapped to build enrollments of small schools which otherwise find it difficult to continue existence. The chief means used is the scholarship racket, by which standard tuition and other fees are undercut for individual students, much in the manner of those ingenious retail sales pro- imoters who offer silver watches, pewter soup spoons and other coupon-premiums as bonuses 'for buyers of their razor blades, mouthwash and cough medicine. The number of degree-granting institutions in the United States, according to the latest gov- " rnnment statistics, is about 1,000, while the number of students enrolled is about 1,000,000. With an average of 1,000 students for each in- stitution there ought to be enough students to go around, but there don't seem to be. Some educational institutions, such as state universities, municipal schools and private col- leges with large enrollments, have more than their share, of course. Because of this situa- tion, about 800 small colleges throughout the country are "student poor." The result has been an intensive sales campaign, carried on by these instjtutions through agents who contact pros- pective freshmen. President H. M. Gage, of Coe College, Iowa, says the competition between colleges for students "is, without doubt, the number ofne problem in the intercollegiate field today." To build up their enrollment, colleges that need students send out field representatives who help high school graduates to choose the "right" institution. Propaganda painting a rosy picture of campus social life is disseminated in abun- dance, but the academic side of the university career is scarcely mentioned. Some American colleges, in fact, as Mr. Tunis puts it, have better sales forces than teaching staffs. If the smaller schools are not to be shut up entirely, they must be given pecuniary assistance" which will allow them to recruit sufficiently able teaching staffs to compete with the larger institutions on academic grounds. The country-club summer-resort atmospheric lure at present used to draw students to their cinnamon-coated dose of higher education must be rendered unnecessary. Perversion, Communism POLICE INVESTIGATION of degeneracy in Detroit, in the campaign to stop attacks on women and children, shocks even the hard- bitten sleuths and reporters. The mixing of whites and blacks is revolting. Blame for much of this can be laid to commu- nism. It teaches and fosters interracial fra- ternity. -Detroit Saturday Night.

Mama, Buy Me One Of Those To the Editor: No one who has watched the football team for the past four years will deny the spirit of the players, nor the ability of Coach Kipke and his staff. But these years of almost uninterrupted failure must at last compel the University to face honestly the problems which big time foot- ball raises. The issue is clearly amateurism versus profes- sionalism, and no sentimental appeal to sticking by Kipke and the boys, or the hypocritical dodge of sport for sport's sake, or the Olympian de- tachments ofsthe athletic administration can serve to obfuscate it. The rise of big time football with its publicity value, its million dollar stadia, its highly paid coaching staffs and its prima donna 'players has created a situation with which very few ad- ministrations have had the courage to deal. Since the Carnegie report, it is an open secret that it is impossible to maintain an outstanding team without buying and paying for players-by giving them jobs or gifts. Moreover, the competition between teams has become so keen that eleven men are hardly enough to stand the pace, and a squad of at least thirty players of fairly equal ability must be maintained. This has led to a farming out system much along the lines of professional base- ball practice. Finnly, it is a very rare player who can make the first team without years of pre-college expdrience behind him, who has not, in short, devoted himself to the business of be- coming a player skilled on the professional level. The point at issue then is this: if a school wants a good team, it must accept the system of professionalism in its entirety; if not, it must discard its coaches, scouts, trainers, publicity men, players and 87,000 capacity stadium and do without the prestige of a successful team. The crux of the matter is that compromise is impossible, and any attempt at compromise leads only to an hypocrisy which dirties and places in jeopardy the whole idea of education. The Michigan system of maintaining the apparatus of big time football without at the same time consistently buying and paying for players is just such a compromise which has led to four years of fiasco on the field and is a deep-rooted cynicism among the student body. I propose that the University make up its mind to act honestly: either openly obtain the best players and pay them a regular salary commensurate with their worth on the field as publicity makers and defenders of Michigan football prestige. It should insure them for risking their necks, just as any employer pays accident compensation. It should give them a training table and the best medical care, free them from the worry of passing courses by giving them a diploma based on their athletic ability, and let us rejoice in a good team honestly ac- quired. Or not, fire Kipke and his staff, release those players who look on football as a livelihood and send the others to the I-M building. Return the stadium to the mortgage holders and let them have the worry of filling it Saturday afternoons. Then let us go back to the proper function of a university, which, after all, is education. I do not make the first suggestion in a spirit of irony. I merely say, that if we must have a football team, let us have a good one and let us pay for the best we can get. We give fellowships to good students who maintain our academic prestige; if our athletic prestige is of equal importance, we should only be fair and pay for our athletes. Of course,: the whole matter goes much more deeply than the question of paying or not paying for a team, and involves our understanding of what is meant by a university and what place it has in a democracy. But I am content to let the question rest at this point. It would be too much to expect the admin- istration to take cognizance of this appeal for an' honest solution of a vexing problem. But I should like to see the student body express its opinion on the subject, and a poll taken by the Daily would show student sentiment. Perhaps I am wrong, but I suspect that hypoc- risy is about as distasteful to the rest of the student body as it is to me, and I think that a clearly defined stand, one way or the other as I have indicated above, would be appreciated by all. I am assuming of course that the proof of the amateur standing of our teams is their record. If we have been paying for our teams these past four years, we are certainly being cheated out of our money, and that alone deserves inves- ticYation -Grd I/ feemr to Me [ILYWOOD BROUN It may well be that somebody will throw an egg if I undertake to speak briefly in favor of patriotism. As a matter of fact, I make no claim that I am a 100 per center, and I have never gone along with Stephen Decatur's slogan of, "My country, riglt or wrong." Indeed, it is my notion that 70 per cent ought to be passing mark, and I will insist that I should not be flunked. Criticism of the adinis- tration is not only permis- sible but salutary at all times. And this applies to foreign policies as well as domestic problems. Perhaps the thing I have in mind is hairline distinction, but I might as well blurt it out. I hate to see American publicists and American congressmen make statements which in effect are hand waves to Germany, Italy and Japan to continue on their course and pay no attention to the remonstrances of Roosevelt. My difficulty lies in the fact that I must freely admit the right of anybody who thinks the Chi- cago speech was unwise, to say just that. But very sharp dissent as to method can be expressed without some shirttail which suggests to the world that the chief executive officer of the United States is a man drunk with a lust for poower or even an individual who is mentaly unbalanced. It Is Up To Us Words without action are still not wholly impotent. It seems to me that in the Chicago speech Franklin D. Roosevelt expressed an indig- nation against international lawlessness, and that this expression of indignation might have an actual effect, even though no specific pro- gram to implement it was set forth. Indeed, the first reaction to the speech on the part of American publicists was wholly favorable. Few can be found who care to stand up and say, "I believe in complete international chaos and the scrapping of all pacts and treaties." But after bedding down on the original impact of a truly thrilling address, many influential men in America began to cut the ground from under the feet of the President. Their excuse has been that they do not want to see America drawn into war under any circumstances. That is a pious desire, and I am heartily in agree- ment that we should not throw our armed forces into action. And yet I doubt, and gravely doubt, the sincerity of many of Mr. Roosevelt's critics. The charge has been freely flung that he brought the issue of aggressor nations into the picture merely to cover up certain domestic difficulties. This I do not believe, but even if this monstrous charge were granted, it would involve those on the other side who have made world peace a foot- ball to be kicked around for political advantage. * * *i * Across The Waters If you or I were acting as a confidential agent for Japan or Germany or Italy, our first report to the home government after the Chicago speech would have been one of warning that American sympathy had been alienated. After a week or so the foreign agent,, if an accurate reporter, might be justified in sending a correc- tion to his lead in which he would say, "Dis- count Roosevelt speech. American press in large measure is ganging up on him. Political oppo- nents are preparing to make capital of his statements and nullify them. Drop all the bombs you please and pay no attention to fron- tiers. The anti-Roosevelt group is working to stifle all criticism here in America." I hate to be the first one to suggest that we all stand up and sing "The Star Spangled Ban- ner," and I am still loath to fall in line behind Decatur. And yet I say that in the moral issue between American democracy and foreign Fas- cism I'm for America and our President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. MUSIC Calendar By WILLIAM J.
