THE J - H O P T H I S YEAR will probably

pass without comment or criticism from "J im" Helme, former state dairy and food commissioner and oft-spoken 0f by the class of '15 as "our old friend." Mr. Helme is now appearing before the Federal court in Grand Bapids, testifying as to his connection with the campaign pay roll in the al­leged fraudulent election of Senator Newberry.

THROUGH AN OVERSIGHT the class nu­meral was omitted after the name of K. G. Potts, '06, of Washington, Mich­igan, newly elected vice-president of the Michigan State F a r m Bureau. In the new State F a r m Bureau officers, M. A. C. is well represented. Rolland Morrill, M. H„ '95, of Benton Harbor, is president; R. G. Potts, '06, vice president, and A. M. Berridge, '12, Greenville, member of the executive committee for one year; A. E. Illen-den of Adrian, one of the executive committeemen elected for two years is the father of Jessie Illenden, '19.

OMICRON N U , the honorary home economics sorority a t the college, on Wednesday evening gave a banquet for its eleven new members, one in­structor, one senior, and nine juniors . After the ini t ia t ion service at the Woman's building, the banquet was held at the residence. The new names which were added to the Alpha Chap­ter a re : Miss Anna Bayha, household arts instructor ; Gladys Barnett , '20, Birmingham; Mary Heitch, '21, Pon-tiac; Laura Hoover, '21. Fl in t ; Thel-ma Porter, '21, Lansing; June Rapp, '21; Eva Schurr , Clarence, N. Y.; Marian Seeley, '21, Eas t Lansing; Wilma Strauch, '21, Durand; Annie Thomson, '21, Almont; Sylvia Dixon, '21, Amadore. A splendid program on the "Day of Opportunity" was en­joyed after the banquet. Alumni members present were Zae Nor thrup Wyant, '06, Bess Frazer , '11, Lutie Robinson Gunson, '12, Louie Clemens, 13, Florence Stoll, '16, Blanche Snook Atchison, '17, Lou Butler, '17, Arnot Lewis, '18, Marion Grettenberger, '18, and May Foley, '18.

• A RIFLE TOURNAMENT, in which 11 teams are competing, is now shooting at the college. These teams a re : Fac­ulty Men, Facul ty Women, College Men, College u i r l s Scabbard & Blade, Officers' Corps, Cavalry, Artillery, Freshman Infantry, American Legion, Federal, and All College. On Febru­ary 10 the College Girls won from the Facul ty Women on default. On February 11 the Facul ty Men won from the College Girls ; the Scabbard & Blade defeated the Officers' Corps on February 16, and on February 17 the Cavalry were victorious over the

Artillery. The finals will be shot on February 26. Following this there will be a gold medal competition for individuals, by members of these clubs, whether on competing teams or not. The winning team will be award­ed a silver medal. The winning team and the three highest individuals will be given a dinner at the Downey at the close of the tournament .

ON MARCH 3 the M. A. C. Engineers will hold a banquet at the Lansing Chamber of Commerce. Dean G. W. Bissell will act as toastmaster , and C. E. Bement of the Novo Engine Works of Lansing, F . F . B,ogers, '83, State Highway Commissioner, and L. N. Jones, '20, will speak.

CADETS AND CADET OFFICERS to the number of 170 enjoyed a most de­lightful theater par ty a t the Bijou last week Thursday. Two special cars took the men down and brought them back again. Between the acts Yell Master "Skinny" DeYoung, '20, took possession of the stage, and led the cadets in convincing yells.

As is THE USUAL CUSTOM, Juniors will be excused from classes all day today to prepare for the J-Hop. There is a buzz of excitement around the campus, and every car br ings guests. Roy E. Bergman of Rapid River, as president of the Junior class, will stand a t the head of the receiving line and with h im will be his guest, Miss Margaret Crozier, '23, of Calumet.

T H E DORIAN SOCIETY has recently purchased the Bemis house on Delta street and are making it homelike for the society th is week with a newly received shipment of rugs and furni­ture. The inter ior of the house has been redecorated, and new electric fix­tures installed.

T H E STATE INTERCOLLEGIATE and State Interscholast ic t rack meets will be held on the Eas t Lansing t rack and field May 29, according to an an­nouncement made last week by Direc­tor Brewer. This will be the first year in which the meets have been staged on the same day, and the day will be made one of the biggest on the Aggie calendar of spring sports. In­vitations tor the Intercollegiate event will be sent to every college and nor­mal school in the state, and an un­usually heavy entry list is expected. Track interest is on the increase in nearly every ins t i tu t ion in the state and the opportunity to compete against the best a thletes will no doubt prove at tract ive to the t rack men of all the schools. High schools enter ing teams in the interscholast ic will be divided into two groups. Class A will be composed of schools tha t have enroll­

ments of 300 or more students. Class B will be made up of the schools, with smaller s tudent bodies.

LLEWELLYN H. PIERCE, colored, for­mer jani tor and general handy man in the engineering shops, died at his home in Lansing February 13. Pierce, known to hundreds of both engineers and ags as "Joe" came to M. A. C. in 1890 and was a familiar figure about the campus for seventeen years. During this t ime he established the M. A. C. lunch wagon which was well known to hundreds of people and from which good and savory "hot dogs" were dispensed on cold evenings. Be­cause of his genial disposition, his lunch wagon was sought by all classes and he probably enjoyed a wider ac­quaintance than any other colored person in Lansing. Ill health com­pelled him to leave the shops and seek outdoor employment. During the past few years he has been conducting a draying and cartage business in Lan­sing.

G. O. P. NOT ONLY means "grand old pa r ty" but it also stands for Gamma Omicron Pi. Young Republi­cans about the campus are enthusias­tic about this new association of col­legiate Republican clubs that has made its way to East Lansing. Already many applications have been received from Republican students who wish to join. The chapter at M. A. C. was installed Saturday afternoon. E. C. Mills of Urbana, 111., was present and had charge of the establishment of the local club. Permanent organization is expected within two weeks, but the club already has a good membership and a list of temporary officers. The object of the club is to t ra in young Republicans both under the age of 21 and over in "clean politics" say the organizers. The movement has the sanction of Will H. Hays of the na­tional committee of G. O. P. Alpha chapter is located a t Illinois univer­sity. U. of M. and Albion college or­ganized chapters recently.

T H E REMAINING EQUIPMENT for the cavalry uni t of the R. O. T. C. has a t last arrived, after numerous promises and weeks of delay. Equitat ion is be­ing started, last Saturday's section dril l ing outside with the horses. Dur­ing the remainder of the winter, the livestock pavilion of the agricultural building will be used as a riding hall or "bull r ing." The unit, commanded by Captain V. R. Bell, has equipment which is a lit t le more complete than tha t received in the army. I t includes saddles, bridles, blankets, sabres, pis­tols and cavalry rifles, in addition to the equipment furnished for the care of the animals .

WHAT WILL YOU DO FOR THE COLLEGE PROFESSOR?

"The fact tha t individuals had any definite responsibility to the mainte­nance of our educational machinery was hardly recognized," says Eliot Wadsworth, chairman of the Harvard Endowment F u n d in a recent art icle in Harvard Graduate Magazine. "Citi­zens voted once a year for members of the school board. College alumni voted at Commencement for a lumni directors and members of the govern­ing board. This, to a large extent, was the measure of our interest and thought.

" I t may be safely said tha t Har­vard has played a very important par t in leading this movement. While mak ing the first plans for the cam­paign it was determined tha t the pub­licity for the Harvard Endowment F u n d should have two objects: F i rs t , to show the need of Harvard ; second, and far more important , to show the serious si tuat ion which confronted all educational work.

"With constantly increasing empha­sis the fact has been borne in upon educated men and women tha t the schools and colleges needed their in­dividual attention. We began to real­ize tha t our whole educational system was in danger of deterioration or even disaster.

"Hundreds of inst i tut ions have been brought to a realization of the seri­ousness of thei r financial conditions by the r is ing costs of 1919, wi th the resul t tha t campaigns for additional endowment have been inaugurated in America with a total amount asked for runn ing over $250,000,000. De­mands for additional pay by strug­gling teachers have been insistent. Special elections have been held; taxes have been levied to meet this

THE M. A. C. RECORD.

universal cry from a hard-pressed profession."

M. A. C. with no endowment fund nor plans for ra is ing one has got to keep pace wi th other ins t i tut ions in the ma t t e r of salaries.

Here is a specific ins tance: During the past few weeks, one of the most progressive and result-producing of the agricul tural departments has had three requests from other universi t ies and colleges for men to fill positions in their departments . In two cases ass is tants were desired and the sal­aries mentioned for them were far more than the head of the depar tment was receiving here. Jus t how much longer sent iment and love, of M. A. C. will hold our good men here is a question.

As this is being wri t ten, we learn that certain salary min imums effect­ive March first were established this week by the State Board of Agricul­ture at their February meeting. I t is only a step, a ray of light, so to speak, for the struggling and "hard-pressed profession." More must be done and alumni can do i t .

If you believe M. A. C. should keep all her good men and get more "big men" on her staff, make i t known now to the governing board of the college. Get a sent iment created for it in your community. Do tha t now. Then let us prepare to follow it up s t rong next winter when new appropriat ions are made for Michigan educational insti­tutions.

THE CAMPUS RUMOROMETER. In th is issue of the Record and

those tha t follow for a t ime you will find a column or two of campus news and current comment as the s tudent of today views it. We have a feeling tha t a lumni and former s tudents will enjoy some of the campus happenings "dished up" from the s tudent view­point.

Possibly it may be a means of link­ing up the Record and i ts readers a little closer with the college s tudent body, possibly it will lend a touch of that campus atmosphere tha t you used to know, possibly the "pen of youth" will present campus doings in a more pepful readable style for your con­sumption. If it does one or any of these we shall be glad.

At any rate , we introduce with pleasure student news and s tudent views in two columns or more each week, edited by T. S. Blair, '21. He calls it the Campus Rumorometer . Blair is one of the assis tant editors of the Holcad and has been officiating on, the staff of the publication as the campus editor. Under the name of the Optimistic Pessimist, he has been presenting interest ing phases of col­lege affairs to Holcad readers.

If you like the Campus Rumoro­meter, tell us and we will tell Blair which may help compensate h im some­what for his efforts in behalf of M. A. C. alumni and former students^

WESTERN NEW YORK ASSOCIA­TION MEETING.

In point of warmth of spiri t and good fellowship our alumni meeting at Geneva last Fr iday night, Feb. 13, was a great success, though but a few were there. A number who had signed up to be present were kept away by sickness, including Dean Hugh Baker. Dr. W. O. Hedrick, '93, gave a fine talk, carrying us back to early M. A. C. days, and concluding most effect­ively with an outline of the Memorial Building project, what it is to stand for and the use tha t is to be made of it.

Prof. G. Harr i s Collingwood, '11, was elected president for next year, Mr. G. G. Robbins, '04, of Montour Fal ls , vice president, and Prof. W. J. Weight, '04, of Ithaca, sec'y-treasurer. I t was decided to send out let ters to all members of the Western New York Association, asking them to send in their memorial building pledges at once to Prof. Wright, who will for­ward them to headquarters .

Those present were: Dr. W. 0 . He­drick, '93, and Dr. U. P. Hedrick and the daughter of the lat ter , Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Jordan, L. L. D.

NICOLSON '15 LEAVES COLLEGE.

J. W. Nicolson, "Nick," '15, is leav­ing the extension depar tment of the college March 1 to establish a gra in selling and purchas ing depar tment for the Michigan F a r m Bureau. Nicol­son has been connected with the farm crops depar tment as extension special­ist since graduation, and has rendered the farmers of the s tate a great ser­vice and incidentally won a reputa­tion for himself in inducing them to Use pure certified seed, of types best adapted to Michigan climate and soils. As secretary of the Crop Improvement Association, he has been able to fur­ther the introduct ion of pure and cer­tified seeds throughout the state.

Nicolson's new position will be man­ager of the farm crops section of the Michigan State F a r m Bureau with of­fices at Lansing, and a seed and grain Purchasing and selling depar tment will

be established to operate throughout the state. Michigan is growing sev­eral gra ins in great demand over the country, notably Rosen Rye and Red ttock wheat, produced a t M. A. C. by Prof. Spragg. Supplying other s tates wi th these seed grains in carload quant i t ies will be one of the activit ies of the new farm bu reau , department . Purchas ing of improved seeds and gra ins grown elsewhere, such as Nor th Dakota alfalfa and Idaho clover, for Michigan farmers in wholesale quan­t i t ies on a cost basis, will also be done. The depar tment is intended to be self-sustaining, and i t is expected t h a t a half-million dollar business will be handled th is year.

Although Nicolson's resignation from the extension staff will be a great loss to the farm crops depart­men t and the college, yet i t is un­doubtedly t rue tha t he will be able to do much more effective work in crop improvement and to render the farm­ers of the state an even greater ser­vice in his new capacity. His new work will follow the lines of h is work as secretary of the Crop Improvement Association, on a much broader scale.

Through the work of Prof. Spragg, Prof. Cox and Mr. Nicolson, the col­lege has been able to be of great ser­vice to the people of the state and other states. The scientific and re­search work which has been done in the laboratory has been immediately given to the farmers of the state through the extension service, in a most practical way. Although other colleges may have surpassed M. A. C. in ei ther scientific or extension work in improved seeds, no other college in the U. S. has been enabled to cor­relate the two in such a way as to br ing about the immediate resul ts in practical application tha t have been accomplished here in Michigan.

The offices of the crop and gra in section of the F a r m Bureau will be located in Lansing, which makes an ideal a r rangement because of i ts cen­tralized location and its proximity to the college wi th which the work from the scientific and investigative stand­point will always be closely associated.

THE PRESENT DAY HERO—THE UNDERPAID COLLEGE PROF.—

AN APPEAL FOR HIM.

Herewi th my contribution to the Memorial Building Fund, and my ap­preciat ion of the opportunity to sup­por t the good cause.

After the success of the project is assured, and fitting honor has been done to the heroes "who did not count the cost," why not take proper cog­nizance of, and do something similar for the l iving heroes of M. A. C , who "assuredly do not count the cost," else there mus t be many changes in posi­t ions. I mean by that , do something to alleviate the suffering of the "un­derpaid" college professors and in­s t ructors now "carrying on" at M. A.

C. When other colleges throughout the country, whose requirements are probably no more urgent than those of M. A. C , a re making drives for mill ions of dollars for th is purpose, we cannot do bet ter than follow suit . You have a t hand the organization under the Memorial Fund project, who undoubtedly would be willing to pro­mote a p lan to secure funds so badly needed. I am not suggesting wha t course should be taken to the desired end. If political pressure will br ing the results , there is no bet ter t ime than now to use it. If we mus t dig up t h e money from other sources, tha t also can be worked out.

The motives behind th is suggestion a re not al together unselfish, since th i s is a known t ru th , as applicable in education as in business, t ha t the un­derpaid employe cannot and will not give the same measure of service a s the well paid. I t is a physical im­possibility to worry over financial troubles, and at the same t ime render live-wire, up-to-the-minute service tha t M. A. C. needs. Now, we don't any of us want to be sponsor for a possible " r u n down a t the heel" M. A. C. and i t behooves u s to get busy. In my moves about the state I hear criti­cisms t h a t I don't like. Reaction agains t th i s condition will come sooner or later, and for the good of the ins t i tu t ion we all honor let us have the t rans i t ion made from within at friendly hands ra ther than from without by the other kind.

"Am glad M. A. C. is to have a building in which all s tudents irre­spective of class or course may meet on an equality of privilege.

"I regret t ha t the l imits of profes­sional salaries and local demands pre­vent a more substantial share in th is enterprise but I am glad to have a small part, confident tha t if each does in proportion as he can, the aggregate will be worthy of our Alumni and the cause we honor.

"H. B. VAN NORMAN, '97."

"This Memorial Building is a fine th ing and my pledge is not in pro­portion to what I owe M. A. C. but what I am sure I can pay. Later if I have more means available I can send more as I make payments .

"With the rest, I say, 'Long live M. A. C. and may she continue to .grow and prosper.

"ALICE HADLEY W I S E , '03."

"Am forwarding enclosed my pledge to the Memorial Building Fund, what I consider a wonderful project for M. A. C. At the close of the campaign for funds, should there be a deficit wri te me and I'll t ry my best to scrape up a few more dollars.

"H. J. BUELL, '15."

"I received a few days ago the sketch plan' and subscription blank for the Union Memorial Building and have this to state about it. In my mind, a building according to the pro­posed or suggested plan and erected in th is day and age of high prices, at a cost of §150,000 is not good enough for M. A. C. The college would soon outgrow it as it has recently out­grown many other of i ts facilities. It ought to be a whole lot bigger and therefore ought to require considerably more than the amount planned for i ts construction.

"So I am going to adopt a stubborn a t t i tude and let me state t h a t I am not paying an income tax this year, I will pledge, through the chairman for th is county what I feel is my jus t share of the fund under the exist ing plan. If, however, it should be de­cided to make the fund something like twice what it is now, you can count on me for just five t imes the amount "I now pledge.

"I wonder if there are other alumni who have similar thoughts on the subject.

" R A Y H. STORM, '14."

To BEGIN W I T H —

Every organization or publication in its infancy adopts a policy which i t upholds and adheres to in varying de­grees. And so, in the infant outburs t of this page, a policy must be laid down which will in all probability be like the present day scale of prices —-subject to ins tan t change wi thout the consent or acknowledgment of the party of the second part .

But before s ta t ing the policy i t is necessary to tell who we are, what we are, and our reason for inflicting ourselves upon the readers of this publication.

The Campus Rumormeter is to be a page in this weekly publication which, in short, will give to the a lumni the undergraduate opinion and sent iment regarding college happenings. In brief, a chatty page will be issued each week under the supervision of an un­dergraduate which will aim to give you the inside dope on campus ac­tivities. The news columns of this paper present to you the facts. This page will t ry to present to you the undergraduate expression of opinion ar is ing from these facts.

Opinions, like rumors , are oft-times of great or li t t le value. However, knowing the opinions, sent iments and every-day comment of the student body of your Alma Mater it may help you as a lumni in material izing your dream of a greater M. A. C.

T H E RUMOROMETER'S POLICY.

Being a delicate piece of mechanism, the Rumorometer is nei ther a Bolshe-viki appara tus nor a political weekly. I t tends against the new as long as the old established order is of proved value. But the present stu­dent body, like the present world fam­ily, is constantly unbraiding the old and demanding the new.

And not being a political page, as politicians say, the Rumorometer holds no brief for any organization, person, or group of persons.

With these few words of intro­duction, the Campus Rumorometer launches forth on the perilous cruise of t rying to t ransmi t by the printed word the conclusions of the composite mind of the students now enrolled at Eas t Lansing. Many mistakes will be made ere this page smashes itself on the rocks of Oblivion or reaches the port of Something Done. But at all t imes the comment printed will aim to be fair, but t ruthful ; keeping the vision in mind as a par t of your offi­cial weekly of doing something for M. A. C. besides graduat ing from it.

M. A. C.'s ATHLETICS.

The basketball team has just com­pleted an extensive t r ip tha t ,as an athletic accomplishment was quite successful. As a means of advert ising

the school among the inhabitants 0f the central west it was even more successful. But what has this to do with you?

Athlet ic teams are largely built of men mak ing good along this line m thei r respective high schools. When these athletes reach here, we, as s tudent body, will do all in our'power to keep them here, encourage them and keep them toeing the scholastic chalk line. But it is largely your job as a lumni to get these men here.

U. of M. has already launched a big campaign of this kind. The re­awakened a lumni of th is school hav­ing put over their financial drive for a Memorial Building should put on a man drive. We highly appreciate your war memorial . And we also highly appreciate a living, line-smash­ing or base-running memorial of your respective town or community.

T H E COLLEGE HOSPITAL SITUATION. Adminis t ra t ion authori t ies have in­

t imated tha t a disclosure of the facts concerning the lack of proper hospital facilities upon this campus was looked upon by them as a poor advertisement of this inst i tut ion. True, very true. The facts concerning the hospital sit­uat ion of this college are in such state in many respects that they are un­savory for publication.

Fo r many years past each winter this school just manages to weather an epidemic without casualties. Also for many years Dr. Giltner,.and others, have been ra is ing various agitations for the securing of proper hospital facilities. Each year action has been delayed upon this matter .

This year the axe fell. The usual epidemic of sickness resulted in two deaths. One of the men was moved a distance of nearly a quar ter of a mile from a temporary hospital to a pest house at present used for a hos­pital on the day previous to his death. Here he secured for the first time individual t rained nursing. This may or may not have been an influencing factor in the result ing death. The moving of the patient was practically a necessity due to there being no real hospital a t the college.

A lengthy article could be written upon this subject. Many unpleasant facts-^eould be presented and proved. But what has this to do writh the a lumni?

Can you boost M. A. C. to your friends wThen you know tha t once they are here they would not be able to command proper hospital facilities in time of epidemic—a far more danger­ous t ime than when sickness is not prevalent? Think it over. Express your sent iments to your alumni sec­retary. See your state board mem­ber or anyone having influence in the college and add your expressions as

He explained the zoning plan and the proposed zoning ordinance, -which is so often referred to and so little un­derstood. Mr. Phillips can ta lk and he knows his business. Some of the plans which appear visionary now will be merely the natura l resul t of the normal growth of Detroit."

Cut Down Your Cost

A number of the most successful dairy­men testified before the Federal Milk Com­mission, which has been fixing the price of milk from the producer to the consumer, that they had cut down their costs of production by feeding C o r n G l u t e n F e e d and wheat bran freely in grain rations they mixed themselves.

The Commission must have been convinced by what these representative good dairymen had to say about different feeds and the economy of a man's mixing up his own rations.

For, in arriving at the price it thought the dairyman ought to get for his milk, the Commission based its calcu­lations on home-mixed rations in which Corn Gluten Feed was a principal basic ingredient.
