It is the plan adopted by eastern and military schools, and that lends a certain charm to military work does not ordinarily exist. T he sponsors take part in all the ceremonial and social events of the military department. They bestow all honors and take an active part in all acitvi- ties.

The installation of the sponsors will be held about the middle of November. FOUR FRATERNITIES holding property along Abbott Ave., at East Lansing, will co-operate with other residents in staging a celebration when the new Abbot Road pavement just com pleted is opened next week. A committee composed of Prof. A. R. Sawyer, representing the East Lansing citizens; H. L. Fleming, of the Delphic society; A. E. Hirt, of the Eunomian society; Mark Small, of the Olym ALL CLASSES were dismissed Friday morning from 9 to 10 and students gathered in the gymnasium for the first college convocation in recent years. The reason for this departure from the general custom was the addresss of Sherwood Eddy, world known traveler and nationally known lecturer, who spoke before the student body on "An Analysiss of World Conditions." CROWDED CONDITIONS at the East Lansing public school are expected to be relieved be fore another year by the construction of a new grade school building on Bailey St., near Grand River Ave. Residents of East Lansing voted on the proposed project at a special school meeting Thursday evening at the school house. Completed plans for the new structure, prepared by J. N. Churchill, Lansing architect, are now being shown. At Thursday's meet ing a bond issue of $56,000 was authorized, this amount providing not only for the con struction of the building but for the site and equipment as well. The actual cost of the new structure will be about $46,000. The pres ent East Lansing school building accommo dates both grades and the high school. This building is now crowded far beyond the ca pacity for which it was built, with the pros pect of an even greater number of students before another year. that the new building can take care of more than half of the grade students by next fall and that ultimately all of the grades can be moved there without further additions or alterations. All of the new ideas in school construction are embodied in the proposed school house T he basement will include a modern heating plant, a small gymnasium and auditorium and class rooms. T he first floor will be devoted to mod el school rooms and a kindergarten. The prin cipal's office,, together with a combination teachers' room and library and four school rooms will be located on the second floor. It is stated DR. G. H.

French. of AND croup ATHLETICS SCHOLARSHIP The old question of scholarship and athletics is one often discussed and upon which almost any college alumni can be depended upon to about equally di- Now themselves. ride comes a new thought on the-much mooted subject, towit: that present day varsity athletics have advanced to a point where there is no longer place for the slug gard—a man must have brains to make and maintain his place on the teams. This suggestion was recently inserted in the discussion at the University of Michigan and a part of the comment upon it, reprinted from the editorial columns of the Michigan Alum nus of October 13, is given here: the Campus, Suppose that a year ago someone had boldly asserted on athletes should be required to maintain better than the average grade in their studies." Possibly this innovator might have escaped hanging—pos sibly. "Varsity Now it is announced that Varsity men last year actually did maintain better than a C average. That makes it possible to announce also that the assertion quoted above has really been lurking in certain heads hereabouts for time. They are a small minority, of some course; but we give their views for the ma jority to look upon: is really to represent If any man It Our University is first of all a school. aims to give the Commonwealth what can be - contributed by healthy men of good educa tion. it, he must be a good student as well as a sports man. He must not be an amateur-professional athlete indifferently educated, who really rep resents an athletic association attached to the University. The student body will have two good, reasons to be proud of him, to honor him, if he is both scholar and athlete. The past year proves that athletes can be both. So the higher requirement will make Michigan Varsity men truly representative of Michigan, and enhance her standing among universities. the standard of athletics, make for better foot ball and baseball. Little, if any, will be lost of brawn, and that play will be better disciplined, keener. They will respond to coaching and display better more quickly Likewise, its effect will be to enhance the brains in actual contest. too, is a pretty headwork safe bet, football in hereafter must come mainly from the side of strategy. It improvement that raise The high requirement will scholar ship. The double honor of being a varsity man will act as a sharper spur to study, both those who hope among athletes and among the student to be athletes; and body will not let itself be beaten in the class room by men who are athletes also. There will be a general quickening of scholastic work, some unnecessary "campus activities" will be dropped, and students will devise and practice better methods of' study, acquire better habits of work. the rest of that Whether they are right or wrong—and we believe they are right—it appears those who hold to the policy just defended have the best interests of our University at heart. It is too much to expect every athlete to be an outstanding scholar, but the intricacy of mod ern sport with its insistent demand for good "head-work" demands a man who is at least better than the average student.

On the next play Johnson punted but the ball went into the line and he was forced to repeat the punt. Here it was that Marquette started a line bucking program that gained yard after yard for the Marquette gridders and finally put the the ball on the Farmers' one-yard line. On next play Kuchenberg put the the ball over white line for the only touchdown of the game. The quarter was more than half gone when the Farmers the counter came and although went back with the same old fight time the was too short and the game ended in a victory for the Wisconsin lads. The field was reported to be the worst field that the Aggies have eever played on and the game had to be stopped several times while the mud and water was wiped from the water soaked pigskin. The game however, evens the score between the two institutions as the Mar quette eleven was forced to defeat by M. A. C. in an equally hard fought game several years ago.
