R. Embree. (Yale) STAND TOGETHER A series of articles on the col- lege, its work out in the state, and present conditions on the campus, have been running, in the Detroit News beginning last Friday. The stories are written by Fred C. Jenette, staff correspondent, and thus far, with a few ex ceptions, present a criticism of the administra tion and the work of the college out in the state. The articles are the result of the study of several agricultural and state colleges in the central west and Canada in which M. A. C. is for the most part held up beside the Universities of Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa State College. The chief object of criticism thus far presented is in the matter of attend ance. The departments and features of the work at M. A. C. in which it is acknowledged we excel have of course not been pointed out. We compliment the Detroit News however the dormitories and in their attitude toward feel certain that in bringing our need before the people of Michigan they are doing M. A. C. a great good. Their analysis of other con ditions and their criticisms with few excep tions are fair and offered in what appears to be a constructive spirit. We. believe that they will be decicedly beneficial. At the same time a series of criticisms is appearing in a newly sprouted Lansing paper, a weekly called the Michigan Republican. This paper with offices in the Hotel Downey is very evidently a'political organ and has a Its criticisms are sharp and political object. none its objectives too it is glaringly political. truthful. Whatever these criticisms We wish M. A. C. men and women to know of are being made that whether the motives of their makers be good or bad. They call for a united stand of alumni for their Alma Mater. M. A. C. has not gone to Its ideals and its teachings are those of the old college you knew, and its work today is far better than it was last year or five years or ten years ago. these attacks indicate po litical opposition to M. A. C.'s appropriation program the part of organized alumni. they call for doubled effort on the dogs by a long shot. If SELECTING BOAKD MEMBERS The approaching convention for nomination of the Re- publican candidates for posi- tions on the State Board of two to Agriculture and Wallace, members, Messrs. Waterbury whose terms expire December 30 this year, suggests what should become a definite and regular function of organized alumni. replace In many institutions alumni are given the the gov choice of a certain membership of erning board. Many of the directorates of endowed colleges and universities are elected only by vote of the alumni. Here in Michi gan the only voice alumni have in the selec tion of their Alma the managing board of Mater is the voice they raise themselves. In the past, membership on the governing board of Michigan's Agricultural College has to the whims of politics as been as subject has almost every other public office filled through election by the people. Could alumni be certain that political groups would make as good selections as they have done some times in the past they might not feel the neces sity of bestiring themselves now on the eve two six year members. of rightfully But why "let George do it" when it should constitute one of of the offices of alumni. the selection of their the board calls for interests, whereas Because of the name, Board of Agriculture, to believe that Michigan people have come farmers membership on the sole or those of the duty of the Board is the management of three other major divi college comprising sions besides agriculture, so the name that of the board is as much a misnomer in that the college.

T HE M. A. C. BAND is planning a series of concerts out in the state. This will be a new venture for the band.

Pleasant Normal basket ball five before Saturday night's game with the Aggies, but it was not thought probable that the vis iting court aggregation would be able to cut the Farmer lead to one point within the last few minutes of play. That very thing did happen, however, and nothing but a quick rally brought the Big Green athletes out of a mighty tight place and into the long end of a 26 to 21 victory. Consistent plugging on the part of the vis iting team was the thing responsible for the last-minute climax which put the crowd of Aggie supporters on the rack for a period of five minutes. To some extent the Heasley-Gilkey-Higbie combination was missed by the Aggies in Sat urday night's game. The trio has been play ing together for some time, and in most of the practice games and scrimmages of this year, they have worked together. When Gil- key was unavailable for duty against . Mt. Pleasant, the floor work of the team suffered " until the new combination began to find itself. This undoubtedly affected the Aggie scoring in the early part of the game, as well as the total score. However, it is probable that Coach Frimo- dig's plan of making frequent shifts during to scrimmages will make it possible inter forwards. change any of the four first-string Wilcox, once he has become accustomed to the the Aggies, will probably become a valuable man on the squad, while Palm continuing at his. usual place can al ways be counted upon. team-play of '. .: Mount The summary: Michigan Aggies (26) Heasley Palm Higbie Foster Matson Pleasant (21) Position Calkins L.

The Michigan Aggies came through with a greatly advanced type of basket ball Tues day night and defeated Kalamazo college, 30 to 18.
