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.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 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 ll I SI I III I I
