MAURICE, ATKINSON-FRIEND When a, sudden death overtakes a friend, we find ourselves at a loss for words or suitable expressions to interpret our emotion. So it is that the news of the passing of "Maurie" Atkinson finds those of us who knew him as a fellow-worker, as a classmate, and as triend, in an almost inexpressible condition. Maurie had many friends here at Michigan, friends who held -him in high esteem, because of his ready smile and cordial greetings, because of his willingness to help others even though that help meant some secrifice to himself. His college activ- ities were marked by success, for he gave to every task which confronted him all his energy and effort, striving ever to make the next piece of work ,better than the one before. His was a spirit of comradeship. His achievements here were many, his readiness- to serve and to aid the reasons for the success of those achievements. Whether on student publica- tions or in the administration of student govern- ment, Maurie's part was always an active one. Those who were his fellow-workers on the pub- lications, especially, where he devoted most of his time, and where his worth as a co-worker and more than that as a friend, was appreciated, will feel his passing most. They surely will miss him. That his end should have come when he was just on the threshold of life, ready to face the newv battles in the same manner that he had won the old ones, is perhaps the saddest part of it all. But he has left behind him a name that speakt more for him than any eulogy-and that name is Friend. COMMENCEMENT SEATING PROBLEM A large number who will come to Ann Arbor to attend the Commencement exercises will perhaps fail to understand why they have been unable to obtain seats. Since ,the seating capacity of Hill au- ditorium is limited, the seating problem is especially acute. There are about seventeen hundred gradu- tes. The main floor will be giver" over to them and to a few prominent guests. Each one of the graduates, as far as possible, has been allowed seats for two guests provided they are near relatives. The faculty will be seated on the platform as many as can be accommodated-and the remaining must also be arranged for. The auditorium seats ap- proximately forty eight hundred. The alumni are also to be provided with seats, as far as possible. As a result, there is bound to be a shortage.. It is hoped that those unprovided for will not be very sorely disappointed. Arrangements have been made to give as many as possible the opportunity to hear Secretary of State Hughs by radiophone. A platform will have been constructed in front of the Chemistry building with receiving and amplifying devises to transmit Hughs' address to any who may assemble there. There will also be a fine opportunity to view the procession which will form on that side of the cam- pus. While it is realized that the radiophone plan will not have the effectiveness that the personality and presence of the speaker give, it will make up in cer- tain measure for the unavoidable lack of accommod- ations. In future years the construction of a field house onr Ferry field, so large that it can take care of an enormous audiece, will as is to be hoped, re- niove all seating difficulties like the present one. EVOLUTION AGAIN-WHO'S NEXT? From Union university in Jackson, Tennessee, comes the latest outbreak against evolution. In fact, it seems that whenever an argument is needed to create publicity, some of our smaller institutions immediately set their bait for the advocate of the theory of evolution. The Union officials are now - seriously considering the cese of a professor who is radical enough to believe in the theory. It is a denominational institution, and has been notified by the religious leaders of that denomination that unless the professor "is eliminated from its teach- ing staff, or declare publicly his repudiation of the theory of evolution," they will refuse to aid the un- iversity with their moral or financial support." Such action scenis almost entirely out of keep- ing with the spirit of the times and with the trend of modern educational progress. In this age, free- dom of thought and expression are the admitted rights of every individual, while intolerance and barrow-mindedness are frowned upon as obstacles to the development of a liberal mental and spiritiual growth. Intimidation, which is after all a form of mental torture, was practiced by feudal barons and leaders during the time of the Inquisition, but in the 20th century such methods are no longer in vogue. Anexample such as the one' qoted above, were the university authorities ,to accede to the de- mands that the professor be dismissed or obliged to denounce his belief, can be of little advantage, and at the same time of great disadvantage, for if it is successfully carried through, it may serve as a dangerous and unwholesome precedent. At least, it will be interesting to note what action Union univer- sity will take in this matter. Perhaps the professor may turn the tables and tender his resignation-the worm'has been known to turn before. Talking about questions: How many women are going to blow out the candles .and how many are going to taste of the bitter lesson at the Senior- Wo- men's Breakfast? According to present indicatioias, it seems as if Henry Ford will have to pass many Weeks to get Muscle Shoa4s. How does the Union look to you, Mr. Alumnus? Too bad the reading room has not been finished, eh? All set for the last blue-book on Monday, senior? . . . . ..... . . . . . . . .. . .... . . ... THE FRYING PAN -a flash in the Pan." , Swan Song Four years (or more) At learning's door You madly crash th gate. Then the members of the fanily Come to see you graduate. It is pretty clear In your freshman year That you are a total loss, And nothing you do Earns bread or stew In life's game of pitch apd toss. In your sophomore days You mend your ways And loop the profs for B's; But a junior hopes He knows the ropes And ripples along in ease. Tho a senior's life Is a happy lifey It is tinged with infiinte pain. For you see through days Like a golden haze That you'll be a frosh again. It wakes you nights And your rest it blights To think of the work you rate- After the members of the family Come to see you graduate. In the interesting and inimitable way the daily press has of saying what it says we are informed that "17 College Men Hurdle Mr. Edisons, Cran- ium Teasers." How's for a collich education to amount to something after all. But sir, we don't know how many cerebral trackmen jolted their frontal lobes on the New Jersey Wizard's intellig- ence interferers, and went out into the air. Which makes Cal think of the mean one first pulled by the Maginnis Troupe of Society Enter- . tainers, on the Orpheum Cricuit in '09. "Brain! May be, if he's got a brain-all it is is a knot irk th eend of his spinal cord to keep his spine from unravellin'!" CALIGULA. .

It is good-looking, wears well, and provides just the right warmth when the day or water is just a bit nippy. Some rather swagger color combinations and new necklines are fe'atures that you will notice in these Suits. Priced from $3.75 a suit up. Caps and Hats To Complete the Suit And you must have a cap to match the suit-or perhaps one of contrast- ing color. There are fancy hats with brims for those who enjoy a sun bath on the beach and others made in tight fitting modes for those who swim and dive. They come in plain styles and with fancy flower orna- ments. Priced from 35c up. Vathing Shoes To Match the Suits Bathing shoes should match the suit and when worn with rolled hose they add a smart touch that is totally in- dispensable. They come in black and colors of canvas with cork soles and of rubber. There are slipper styles and others that are high. These shoes are priced from 65c to $1.95 a pair and will prove practi- cal and comfortable. Vanity and Bathing Bags A rubber bathing bag to carry the suit to and from the bathing beach will be especially useful and a smaller rubber vanity bag in which to carry a pow- der puff, mirror, and handkerchief will be an addition to the bathing costume that milady will find enjoyable. Priced from 65c each up. (Second Floor)
