VOI3DILMCATION OF LAW STU- 1)ENT REGARDG1M ENGINEERS' "hAl) MANNE RS" ANSWERED Editor, The Michigan Daily: We'll not assume that my poor little brain Is able to compete against & "law," But let us try to get our little laugh, Not learn too much from what that author saw. Good clothes, good manners, even aesthetic souls, Are found quite near the engineer- ing arch; And brother law must no in haste mistake Slight rudeness for impeding Prog- ress' march. If college years of training and of toil In logic aimed to help our little race, Still lets him generalize as he does, Oh, what gigantic task we have to face! Our brother law assumes all engineers But once removed from caveman or the lout; And, generalizing in his careless way, Apparently he puts our clan to rout. In even classic phrases he assails; His flow of words commands admir- ing awe; But truthfully, I feel real pity for The outraged dignity of brother law. "Let not ambition mock their useful toil" Should be his word; should not take us to task; Our medieval brains can't understand All-work, and love, and brother's sneering mask. So let us work and live on in our bliss, We're eager to let quibbling "'laws" decide What our rude natures, struggling to- ward the light, a 160 MILLS i1N MT1ED STARTES L LUE t LOES PROD UCE 2,229,00 TONS PEMIA R ATO Washington, Feb. 24.-A prelimin- try report of the forest service of the (Cntied t oa P ag Oe) United States department of agricul- State university's athletic board, was ture states that in the 160 reporting enthusiastic over the news.

At Lhe former college, the memories of those terrific Wolverine-Gopher foot- hall battles in 1909 and 1910 have ieer faded, and a warm feeling has always been cherished here for Michi- gail.

Michigan athletes were given permission to com- pte with conference men in the Uni- versity of Illinois athletic carnival March 3. Though the line of reason- ing which preceded this decision is not clear-and Professor Paige, who had something to do with granting the permission, is uncommunicative as to how it happened-we are nevertheless willing to take the decision at its face value and to consider it as an omen of Michigan's early return to the confer- ence fold. Rumors come from Ann Arbor to the effect that the Wolverines are willing to come back-even anx- ious-but that they are not willing to come back as suppliants. We do not blame them. They should not be forced to beg admittance to a group in which they always ranked near the top, and which they left for the justi- fiable purpose of bettering their in- terests.
