COLLEGE GETS FUNDS

The supreme court has relieved the
financial crisis at the Michigan Agri
cultural college by giving the state
board of agriculture, the right TO use
federal funds placed in custody and
declaring unconstitutional the law
passed at the last session Of the iegis-
lature, which attempts TO control
funds placed at the disposal of the
college by the federal government.
This will mean that a special ses-
sion will not be necessary TO pass an
emergency appropriation bill, as there
is considerable federal money at the
disposal of the college and more Will
be forthcoming by the first of July.
However, in declaring unconstitu-
tional right to control the funds placed
in it's hands by the federal government
the supreme court knocked out the
entire act which increased the mill
tax from one-tenth to one-sixth. AS a
result of the opinion of the supreme
court recently the college will
now receive one tenth of mill instead
of one-sixth, and Secretary A. NJ.
Brown says that the college will have
some trouble in getting through the
year, even though the federal money
is available.

TALK OF GRAND STAND
Is BEING REVIVED

AS the days begin TO warm up those
who attend the base ball games are
feeling the need of grand stand.
Plans for a grand stand were pre-
pared last year but on account OF the
heavy expense OF making and equip
ping the new grounds the matter was
dropped. Some of the business men
are now considering the matter and
ii is probable that something will be
done toward building a stand in the
near future.
The plans as suggested last year
called for a stand semi-circular In form
with the main entrance to the grounds
and TO the stand directly under the
center of the structure. Seats could
be comfortably made, within limited
space, for six hundred people.
With a team so fast as the local
bunch are proving 10 be, and with
prospects for a very bright season 1t
would seem that now is the opportune
time to begin the contraction of a
grand stand that would be credit to
the town and the athletic field, MAX
ing it the best equipped field in the
state.

AS the British militant becomes
more violent and extreme, there is al
so noticeable an increase in her ten
dency 70 whine whenever she reaps
the natural reward of her violent acts,
and so she effectually prevents the dis
tant onlooker from considering her
either genuinely courageous or heroic,
True, she has plenty Of self assertive-
ness and a habit of violent invective in
the face of any movement by the
courts TO administer retributive JUS
tice, but her outcries under punish
ment are woefully Inappropriate to
what she suffers and il is all the time
apparent that she is counting on her
sex immunity to protect her. Demand
ing equality she hides behind tradi-
tional privilege. There is no bravery
here.
In this particular the contrast be-
tween the attitude OF the British mill
tants and the French feminists is
striking. The latter demand political
equality but they are also willing to
face the responsibilities which must
accompany that political equality, and
they insist upon waving all special
privilege. A notable example of this
attitude is shown in a symposium re-
Gently made up by French suffragists,
which took the form Of a protest
against immunity from the guillotine
for women criminals. They declared
such exemption a Illuminating outrage
indicating sex inferiority. AS Nine.
Auclert, secretary of the French Fem
mist society, put it, THE two sexes
should be equal both before the poll
ing booth and before the guillotine."
1t is not necessary to indorse the
specific sentiment in order TO appre-
ciate the spirit which inspired it..
Plainly it was born OF a sense OF moral
responsibility and obligation 10 deal
fairly. 1t may be said that the
French feminists and the American
suffragists who take much the same
general attitude have never been put
10 the test of violent warfare as have
the British militants, but on the other
hand ii is manifestly this feeling for
fair play among the French women
which has been one OF the strong for
ces holding them back from aping the
extravagances of the British militants.
