AGAIN THE PEACE and reflective
calm has been disturbed by re-
ports that Michigan's new football
coach has been appointed. And as
usual ,the story emanates from the
outside, Chicago this time. It is a
strange commentary on affairs, this
long-distance rumbling. Local cor-
respondents of metropolitan papers.
the alert ones, anyhow, probe their
sources every day, and sometimes
whip up a purely personal conjecture
on their own. But they judiciously
refrain from filing anything which
hasn't positive justification.
But because of the great desire
to know the identity of the new
coach, and because of occasional
provocation - as, for example,
yesterday, when telegrams and
telephone calls set the news-find-
ing processes in motion-the local
lads must hop, and fast, too,
whenever the bug is whispered.
There is often an element of hu-
mor in the antics of the newsmen,
who, for obvious reasons, must al-
ways remain credulous. A few
days ago, while bent over this
machine trying to hatch a morsel
or two for posterity, we were in-
terrupted several times by some
wacky on the telephone. He'd ask
for us, then snap: "Thought you'd
like to know, Fritz Crislers the
new coach!" And before we could
counter a click and he was gone.
A few minutes later, and the same
voice was barking: "Crisler's
Michigan's new football coach!"
And another click.
Suspecting that someone was put-
ting the bite on us, we smiled tol-
erantly the first two times, but the
thing began to creep into our craw.
And just when a wave of ire passed
over it occurred that maybe it wasn't
a hoax, maybe the guy was tipping us
off. And a short investigation was in
order.
Yesterday morning, we hear,
that someone tried the same trick
on another local daily. And sev-
eral of its representatives, given
more to impulsive action than
this department is, rushed willy-
nilly from their offices to seek
out ,University authorities and
demand to know why they weren't
advised of the new coach's ap-
pointment.'And, we presume, they
were told why.
Some people get a fiendish delight
out of such telephoned heckling. It's
the bane of a newspaperman's ex-
istence, and there probably should
be a law against these anonymous
tipsters. Yet, more than once, a
hushed call has led to some jour-
nalistic darbs, which were not only
true but which gave the believing
'reporter an "exclusive," the golden
reward in his hectic profession.
THIS CHICAGO REPORT, assign-
ing the coaching portfolio here
to George Veenker, seems as though
it might be an Act of Providence. A
few editions ago we made a public
appeal to the athletic board, asking
it to name the new coach and save
us from the nocturnal ghouls which
harrowed us in nightmares in an at-
tempt to flush out the new coach's
identity.

OPPORTUNITY
I
for Second Semester Freshmen
With the opening of the new Semester the MICHIGAN DAILY
BUSINESS STAFF will make its annual call for men and women to
augment its personnel. The work presents an opportunity for advance-
ment and recognition in outside University life often overlooked by
students until too late.
This period of training equips one to start into the work of the
Sophomore year without waste of time and effort, placing an individual
so trained substantially ahead of one coming out at that time. Further,
it offers an unparalleled avenue through which to know Ann Arbor, its
activities, its business men, and its students. The practical experience
gained working on the BUSINESS STAFF is alone well worth the effort
put into it, for it is, in miniature, a replica of the business world, yet
mistakes here are not accompanied with the serious and often disastrous
consequences that attend them in the outside world; in short, it offers
