If we want a real Union "You will never get more out of college in— than you are willing to put whether it be scholarship, athletics, loyalty in- any other phase of college life." back This was the theme of Coach Fielding H.

The entire affair was a substantial proof of the mission of the Union, on the Cam pus and in the life of the students and faculty. Every speaker mentioned the fact that the Union had a function on the Cam pus that was as noteworthy as athletics or any other activity. Prior to the smoker Yost and Kipke were dinner guests at the Union at which the athletic board and college coaching staff were present. PHONOGRAPH SOUGHT FOR UNION BUILDING Recent improvements in phonographs has opened up a possibility for the Union Memorial building in its continuous pro gram of events. During the past week the central Michi gan Hoo Hoo club staged a banquet in the Union. At this time a representative of a prominent Lansing merchant demonstrated the new Brunswick to the diners, under actual conditions in the ball room. So successful was the test that it is now conceded to be suitable and excellent for dances staged in the building. "Panatrope" With such an instrument, or a similar one, the music phase of Union activities will be greatly enhanced. Such an instru ment will not only be of great service for dances but for general use in the building, in the cafeteria and for informal gatherings. Orchestra expense has always been a very great one in the building. Although such a phonograph may never entirely replace an orchestra, the fact remains that it will al ways be suitable for a great deal of the music which the Union must otherwise hire. A redeeming feature of an improved phonograph is that the best orchestras in the country will be available for parties. Paul Whiteman, Ray Miller, Isham Jones, Waring's Pennsylvanians and many others will be on the job to help put the party or dance across. The possibilities of such an addition are so great that everyone feels that those using the building will greatly enjoy the innovation. As such a machine costs about $600, an amount which the Union is not in a position to assume, it has been suggested that gen eral alumni contribution toward a "Phono requested. About 3,000 graph Fund" be alumni read T HE RECORD each week. Dona tions of any amount, no matter how small, will help swell the fund. If the fund goes over the top the surplus will be used in the purchase of the latest records and a suit able library file for them. A brass plate will be placed on the lid of the phonograph, stating the manner in which it was pre sented to the Union. Through the courtesy of the Lansing agents for the Pantrope, the machine was used at a matinee dance on George Wash ington's birthday. Everyone expressed sat isfaction over innovation, especially when the calibre of orchestras presented was considered. the The fact that the new models in phono graphs can reproduce music in the volume and tone of the original presentation makes the machine very valuable for such uses as it would find in the Memorial building. It is adaptable for dinners, dances, smokers and get-togethers and whatever other form of entertainment is staged. To insure proper credit make checks to "Phonograph Fund, M. S. C. Association." J. F. Kelly, dean of administration at the University of Minnesota was scheduled to speak before the members of the faculty on February 26 and 27. He was to talk on subjects pertaining to college curricula and their relation to the individual student. The M. S. C.

During this time he su perintended the building of a large break water at Buffalo. Later he became asso ciated with J. D. White and company, go ing to the Philippines on construction work for that firm. After several years in this type of work, Eldridge settled in Portland, Oregon. Here he went into building construction, erect ing many business blocks in that city. The Hawthorne avenue bridge in that city also testifies to his engineering skill.

Record [^ VIEWS AND COMMENT a: According to Director Yost his appear ance at the Union smoker on F e b r u a ry 24 was in response to the first invitation he had ever received to make the Campus a ''friendly" visit. It is rather unusual that the directing head of athletics at the Uni versity should not have been invited to the College over a period of twenty-five years on, as he phrased it, a friendly mission when in all of that time the two institutions have been represented in sports competition against each other in a large number of contests. There appears to have been in intercol audience and the latter he has often shown to supporters of the College. this entente T wo great institutions should be on the friendlest terms. Presidents and professors exchange visits and have each others' con just why the athletic heads should fidence cordials in not be included has not been fully explained but with the the Union the first step has been aid of to a better un taken which should is no derstanding all around and reason why such a plan should not be ex panded to include other rivals for athletic honors. there lead a to sport teach is not to win the will to make feeling of antagonism legiate against opponents which has not been merited. In other words, reverting again to the speech made by Mr. Yost, the idea the of such competition men on one team to hate the men on the other but the dominating factor in their training. It was not necessary for the men in the American army to hate the German troops individual ly in order to gain superiority in battle but it was necessary that they develop ability in the arts of war and create discipline among themselves so they could command that ability. In other words they fought to win not to avenge a hatred toward their ad versaries. Thus it is with athletics to play to win but not so much with the idea of defeating that of the opposition as with winning for the Green and White. It is far better to admire the good points of the adversary and be prepared to over come them than to dive in blindly and come up short because you have not studied his tactics. Director Yost has a charming per sonality, a friendly smile, a kindly philos ophy of life which makes him a respected leader in his profession probably quite as much as his strategy and ability to anaylze selecting his character He in to his the demonstrated former qualities teams. indication of In the Campus campaign for the Union this year student Memorial Building fund pledges have been brought up to $36,000, nearly four times as much as was pledged in 1925, and the work of the various com mittees has not been completed. In add ing to the fund the men and women now in their College have given an regard for the Union, an indication of how they enjoy its benefits and how much they want its influence to be extended and its facilities bettered. To understand and appreciate the service the building ren ders will require more than one year for the average student but it is evident that the first year the building has been in use insure has produced sentiment which will its future success.
