Physical A P l ea for Dormitories and Boarding d u bs Chicago Heights, 111., March r6, 1921. Editor, M. A. C. Record, Dear S i r: I am tempted to say something on a sub ject which is close to my heart and very im portant in' my estimation and in the opinion of other M. A. C. alumni, from the standpoint of M. A. C. welfare. It is about Dormitories and eating clubs and the M. A. C. campus life and campus spirit. You have been publishing some. timely con tributions on this matter, which I thoroughly endorse. Conversations with our alumni from time to time lead me to believe that there is unani mity of opinion among us that the system of campus life and training brought about thru the dormitory and eating club organizations of pre-war days, has been one of the most if not the most important factor in the making of the men whom M. A. C. is proud to call her alumni. living college If we allow her dormitories to dwindle, we will no longer have the M, A. C. which we knew. The moderate costs possible thru a service at cost system as ours was, made possible large numbers of students of small means, many of whom had to earn their way, and who could not have enrolled,in an institution of different character. This meant a sturdy stalwart class of men, fighters, * who were at M. A. C. for, a purpose. the attendance of On the campus, with all men eating and liv ing on a common basis, each was the equal of his fellow in privilege and opportunity. Con tact between men is no respector of persons; so the corners were smoother off from the rough and the polish toned down on those for treatment was best. Those de whom such intellectual, athletic, ad social, serving of ministrative, or other leadership, were accord ed these rewards and responsibilities. The shoulder to shoulder association be has tween men, irrespective of been responsible for the awakening and de velopment of the latent possibilities of count less men at M. A.

In the the days of thirteeners, when we went to Ann Arbor to root for the team, I always experienced an unusual thrill of M. A. C. spirit, because I knew we had something better than the fellows down there. Now as I look back upon the scene, I can see that the M. A. C. spirit was just the culmination of the good-fellowship, democracy, and fighting spirit from our campus life. Many have maintained the push and tussle, first come, first served fashion of the old time eating clubs has been very demoral izing to the manners of the uneducated; but I maintain that the nobler characteristics re sulting from together on common ground, three times daily, will far outreach the less gentlemanly manners which for may be acquired. The latter are soon gotten and outgrown, but former may exert a life long influence. the association of men that the it I feel that M. A. C. cannot mean what re-estab to her students unless she should lishes the dormitory and boarding club sys tem, on an attractively economic basis. Is it not the duty of her alumni to exert their or ganized influence toward this end? You may wonder, Mr. Editor, why I have not considered M. A. C. women in this dis cussion. I have thot of them, of course, and believe that most of the things which I have said should also apply to their case. How ever, the campus does not seem so important as with the men, so I have not mentioned them be fore. the danger of exiling them from I hope that I have not taken too much of your valuable time with this discourse, and if my views are in accord with many others, believe this matter would be pertinent. that an open forum on Sincerely yours, Francis E.

"Lefty" Brown is easily the best bet for first bas,e, since he combines good fielding and good hitting with a valuable lot of baseball wisdom. The veteran, according to several critics, is going better than he did last season, and it is evident that he is finding the de liveries of the pitchers with greater frequency. Second base seems to be Fullen's berth at the present time, while the job at shortstop is being divided between Carr and Stephens.

All of them use the right hand method of getting the ball across. Hartwig is the only varsity man on the list.

The call for assistant managers comes as one of the first steps in connection with the new system In the of selecting men for the * position. past, managers have been named in general campus elections, and the results of such methods have been very unsatisfactory, men having been picked on popularity rather than on ability and conscientious work -with the squads._ According to the new system, fresh men will be called upon each year to assist with the work in connection with the squads. The following year they will be eliminted un til there are three assistant managers, while members of the next class take their places. In the following year, one of the three assist ant managers will be elected by members of the squad, the manager and the director of athletics, to be manager during the next sea son.
