No, a girl needs little money at a co-educational in- stitution. Girls. like cub bears, nev- er fight with each other. What may seem to be a fray to the outsider is nothing of the sort, but just the girls' way of showing their appreciation of each other's attributes and girls are very appreciative. So, you see, even from this brief discussion, that a roommate is almost indispensible. It would be much more expensive without one. and inconvenientI She creates new forms with- out end; what exists now, never was before; what was, comes not again; all is new and yet al- ways the old. Individuality seems to be all her aim, and she cares not for individuals. She is always building and destroying, and her workshop is not to be ap- proached. Nature lives in her children only, and the mother, where is she? She is the sole artist- our of the simplest materials the greatest diversity; attain- ing with no trace of effort, the finest perfection, the closest precision, always softly veil- ed. Each of her works has an essence of its own; every shape that she takes is an idea utter- ly isolated; and yet all forms one. CAMPUS OPINION To the Editor: In your editorial on Socialism in the Daily for Friday, Aug. 1, you seem un- able to explain why the socialist back- ing should be considered an obstacle to LaFollette, and in explanation give a very fair review of the object or urpose of the socialism doctrines which may be summarized, as has been done by yourself, "From each according to his ability, to each ac- cording to his needs." It must be granted that ocialism has been, if it is not yet, in the ex- perimental stage. We have all been taught that every experiment has an object, and a method which gives re- sults from which conclusions can be drawn. The conclusions must not be drawn from the object but from the results; otherwise why bother to make the ex- periment? It should also be pointed out that the results are entirely de- pendent upon the method and not the object. If a man desires to catch a train at 6 o'clock in the morning and proceeds to set his alarm clock for 7 and sleeps until 7:30, the result is he does not catch the train. From this experiment we may conclude that his method was ill advised and does not bring about the desired object, not that the object itself was ill advised. In considering socialism we must realize that the methods used to attain the desired result are the determining factors, and for this reason socialism must be considered as a doctrine of political procedure whose object is to effect equal distribution of econo- mic goods. From your editorial, so- cialism advocates as a plan of proced- ure "the transfer of ownership of land, factories, machinery, railroads, and mines from individuals to the people." The only place and time that this method of procedure has been followed on a national scale is during the past seven years in Russ- ia. The result is Russia as she is today. The concluions arrived at by all thinking people, even the socialist enthusiasts, are that the methods used in Russia are a complete failure in accomplishing the objective at this time. To summarize: Object--"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." n etliod-"Transfer of ownership of land, factories, machinery, railroads and mines from individuals to the people." 1Iesult-Eerybody has plenty of needs but no ability. Conclusion- The needs cannot be satisfied because ability is destroyed. This method fails. Most American voters are acquaint- ed with the results of the Russian experiment and with the cautious ex- periment of our own government with the railroads in 1918 and 1919. While not completely satisfied with present conditions, the American voter pre- fers the status quo in America to Russia. (Page Emma Goldmon). This may explain why the socialist backing. is considered an obstacle to LaFollette. GEORGE G. BROWN, Department of Chemical Engineering. KNOW -THE CAMPUS THE TAPPAN )rEMO1RIAL The same day that the Mason Hall tablet was dedicated, two others were unveiled in Alumni Memorial hall. One of these was a bronze tablet, a portrait relief by Karl Bitter, of Henry Philip Tappan. It is more than life size nd represents the first president of the University of Michigan, from 1852-1863, as known familiarly on the: streets of Ann Arbor over 60 years ago, accompanied by his Great Dane,I Nero. The relief is simple in lines but boldly, almost aggressively, mod- eled-a work of true art and a source of pride. Mr. Luther Mendenhall, '60, in his dedication speech, spoke of him as a man" "ripe in scholarship, full of dignity, gentleness, and courtesy. He was the man for the position and a ucation and was himself a thorough teacher." On the wall at the right of the en- trance door is another table indicat- ing in appropriate terms the purpose for which the Memorial building was erected: that is, in memory of the patriotic sons whe served in three of the country's wars. Two took part in the Mexican War, in 1847; 1,514 in the Civil War, 1861-1865, and 426 in the Spanish War of 1898. OASTED ROLLS CRITICS Critics are divided into two class- es-those who do the world at large good, and those who detract from the high regard for their class as a whole in the minds of their readers. Thus, there are critics and critics. All of which is presumably mean- ingless to you, gentle reader, but to us it means a lot. In other words, we have had no contribution from that colossus of wit, Pheidias as yet, and therefore we rank him with the rank among the critics. WE AREN'T REALLY SURE Dear Taman: The great S. M. D. says this A. M., quoting the report on the Wednesday evening recital, "She (meaning Mrs. Marian Struble-Freeman) shows a perfect mastery over her violin and beau." I quite agree with respect to the violin, but being in no posi- tion to judge respecting the beau, take your word for that. Maybe so, but why put it in? Fair Play. We didn't write the article in ques- tion, Fair Play, but we hope she didn't take offence at it. It must have leen a typo,-or mayber the reviewer knows whereof he speaks. It's all in the spelling, you know. And speaking of spelling reminds us that we were caught up on a technicality of the sort today, and we feel so ashamed. Just think-if we had read "Perfect Behavior," we should never have fallen into such disgrace.-Adv. PRIZE SlORT STORY Once upon a time there was a lit- tle boy who lived in a small town on the railroad, and ever since lie had been three years old it had been his ambition to become a railroad engi- neer. Now it happened that every afternoon a train came through the little town where Remi lived, and lie would go down to the tracks to watch it sweep by, and to wave at the engi- neer. j Day after day, until the days grew into months and the months into years little Remi would stand by the tracks and watch the train and wave at the engineer, but never once did that great man take any notice of I him. Remi felt crushed, but kept on, hoping almost against hope that some day he would be noticed. Then one day he went down to the tracks with a great resolve in his mind. He would he recognized that day! There he stood, a sturdy little lad of ten, fired by a great ambition. The locomotive came roaring down upon him, and as it drew near, he raised his hand aloft. "Hello, -Mr. Engineer, he shouted. The engineer looked down-"Hello, little boy," he replied. * * * CRUMBLETS "Well, I passed the Fine Arts blue- book." "Honestly?" "What difference does that make?" "Ah, ha, woman, I have found you out!" "Not this time, but you will the next time you call." With some of the light weight sum- mer trousers men are wearing now, petticoats are almost a necessity. Read the inscription on the new Lit building. QUOD ERAT DEMOINSTRANDIM "Women at the University of Mich- igan are treated abominably!" Hypothesis: Women must kick about something-axiom. Women at Michigan have nothing to kick about--see Dean's report. There fore women had to think up a new excuse to kick about. Conclusion: Women at the Univer- sity of Michigan are treated abomin- ably. Q. E. D. Archimedes. Today's Helpful Hint: Some lip- sticks are poisonous - have it an- alysed. Taman.

T'he Song of the Builders I i GOETHE. CONCERNING ROOMMATES Roommates are awfully handyl things to have around. There are a thousand and one different uses thatl they can be put to. A roommate is, the one person you get to know well. Too well, you say? Maybe. Of course they have their little drawbacks, but as a rule their advantages outweigh their disadvantages. You can always lend or give them things and once in a while they will do the same for you, and in either case the contented mind that the donor is in is full recom- pense for the good deed. It usually has to be. Consider for instance a boy's room- mate. They are usually of a very considerate nature. They will buy the toothpaste, the tonic, the shav- ing creamy the brilliantine, and a thousand and one little miscellaneous articles that are indespensible to the comfort of the family. One never l should hesitate at using his room- mate's toothpaste, for it is perfectly sanitary. And there is a certain satis- faction experienced in using some- one else's things. It make for a more kindly feeling, especially on theI part of the user. A roommate usually has a few shirts that are just the thing for a Friday night, and if you get in before he does he never insists that you take off his dressing gown or slippers. It is awfully convenient to have someone to go down after midnight and get the bottle of coffee and rolls. Et cetera. And now consider the many fine points of a girl's roommate. Always, sweet, kindly, obliging, complaisant, accommodating, affable, deferential, and yielding, There she is in a nut shell. A girl would die without a roommate. A girl's mind could not bear the strain of not having some onea near her to talk to, to pour out her O N every hand is heard the rattle of the builder's hammer and the rasp of his saw.
