Dignan, Chicago. * * * THE ENROLLMENT— AND A SUGGESTION, Following t he campaign for new students this sum mer, numbers of alumni have offered the point that often their failure to secure students for M. A. C. was that we have no general or due to the fact broad scientific' course, and that many pros pective students when they were approached by alumni said that they were not sure that they wanted agriculture or engineering or the other courses that M. A. C. offers but that they were going where they could get a general probably specialize or later. science course and This argument did not come from one or two alumni but has come from a number of ' sources and has lead to a new consideration of M. A. C.'s curriculum. In fact we dare say that our courses of study are now be ing given more attention and consideration in some alumni quarters in undergraduate days. they were than them? remedy interested institutions the same as the causes and so This argument, being advanced . from many quarters, certainly must merit a con sideration by all who are in M. A. C.'s growth and future welfare, as well as those who are in seeing Alma interested Mater be of greater service to the state of If we are not offering Michigan Michigan. boys what they want should we not look the to matter squarely in the face and endeavor discover If it did our attendance remains eight years ago, when sister in other states have been increasing in size by institutions in fact some leaps and bounds, have actually been away, turning should we not as guardians of M. A. C.'s future take stock of our real situation? We do not propose by any means to say lies. There are several - wherein the difficulty conditions peculiar that institution may be the real cause of our failure to in crease our enrollment proportionately to that of sister institutions. One is the unusual in dustrial situation the great demand there has been in the past two years for labor. This demand has come, not from Michigan cities alone, but from hundreds of Michigan's smaller industry towns in which It is believed that our situa has sprung up. in Michigan and freshmen to our spread is peculiar throughout in that respect the lower peninsula. • This tion to Michigan alone in that our automobile and its allied the has manufacturing state into innumerable centers so that the de mand for labor and the attraction to industry into almost every community has extended over is but one suggested reason. Possibly we have not made great enough, efforts in advertising and in edu cational campaigns among high school stu dents of the actual work that is being given at M. A. C. Possibly alumni have not been - mindful of their obligations in spreading in formation of their Alma Mater among pros pective students. However,.in the interests of a greater M. A. C. which may be interpreted to mean a Michi gan Agricultural College of greater service to Michigan, we believe that a careful analysis must be made of our situation. We would urge this mainly as a matter of self preser vation before a discriminating legislature this winter. We believe is time that alumni, it and faculty too, give this their most earnest consideration. * * * POLITICS Lack of political interest among the students at M. A. C. has been remarked upon by many of the faculty members and old grads around the college, who recall the fiery "pre-presiden- The tial mass meetings" of peaceful air of the campus makes it difficult to realize that next week is the greatest of elections.

The general unrest all the unsettled condition of over the country, affairs, would seem to augur unprecedented interest in the nation's welfare, especially by the from outward ap the pearances quite the reverse seems to be case.

Chicago Association, The first of Central Michigan Ass'n Discusses Enrollment. the weekly luncheons of the Central Michigan Association went off snappily on Monday of this week, with 30 in terested Lansing Aggies gathering at t he Kerns Cafeteria. The chief object of discussion was the size of the enrollment at M. A. C. this year and a presenting of a few of the points that are obvious causes for the lack of students. One of the points specifically mentioned was the suggestion of general courses into the College curriculum and mak ing an attempt to give Michigan boys more of what they want. introducing more A committee was appointed to investigate the general science courses as given at Purdue, Ames, and other institutions and land grant the possibility of installing such a course at M. A. C. The interest was so great at the meeting that it was decided to hold the luncheons at the Kerns Cafeteria once a week on Monday, noon instead of every two weeks as during last year. Central Michigan M. A. C. men and wom en are invited to drop in every Monday or any Monday they can for these noon gatherings. that Detroit Club Affairs.

Record: I have read with a great deal of interest letter of recent date p'rinted in to "The refers letter Mr. Knapp's "The Record." This Name Question." Let Mr. Knapp and all of his fellow gradu ates of the Engineering Department take the advice of one who has had experience in this it be matter. Tell Mr. Knapp not to known that he is an engineer graduated from an Agricultural College. Let him simply answer that he is a graduate from Michigan, and let it remain unsaid that it is the Michi gan Agricultural College. I have been doing the same thing for many years and got away with it very nicely. let Twenty years ago I found it hard to make people believe that an engineer could gradu ate from an agricultural college, so I stopped • trying. In any event it is rather hard on good old M. A. C, and if M. A. C. persists in call ing rather itself an "Agricultural College" than a "School of Applied Science" or a simi lar good title, it will have to take the con sequences. W. J. Merkel '98. Is This an Opportune Time F or the Name Question? Dear Mac : Chicago, 111., October 22, 1920. In a recent issue of the Record someone at tempted to revive the "Michigan State" con flict. I am an Agricultural student, but feel certain that the Engineers and others have a that deserves real consideration. case It is undoubtedly one of the factors contributing to M. A. C. 's failure to show an increased enrollment of students—but—let us not con sider the subject at the present time because— this winter emd if we are going to get anywhere it will only be by united action. A considera tion of the "name" question would doubtless tend toward the opposite. First—We must meet the legislature Second—We have the fraternity question to settle. Let us work for a settlement favora ble to fraternities before we tackle anything else. Third—We must work in harmony and unison on the Memorial Union project until it is farther along before we take up a big uncertain question like changing the name. When the time comes to consider changing the name I favor some sort of organized or systematized action rather than agitation and publicity such as we eperienced some six years ago. Student sentiment may be ascertained by a vote conducted by the Student Council, do ing away with student agitation that resulted so disastrously six years ago. In order to get alumni sentiment a poll would probably be entirely satisfactory. Any advantage the Ags would have due to numbers would be balanced by the votes of Dom. Sci., Foresters, et al., whose sentiments are "doubtless with the Engineers. (This is merely suggestive.) After student, alumni and faculty sentiment was determined, the matter should be sub mitted to the governing body of the institu tion for appropriate official action. No to see fair minded person can fail the justice of the demand of those favoring a change of name. On the other hand it would be unwise to take any very active steps along this line until after the State Legislature has adjourned. Let us lay the matter aside and depend upon our Alumni Secretary to bring it up at a more opportune time, together with a plan of action. Dad Roland of Illustrious '15. P. S.
