MICHIGAN'S FOOD PROBLEM
At Ann Arbor, Hash Is Getting Frequent.
High prices still prevail in Ann Arbor and the boarding house owners are in despair. Shall they raise prices of board or lower the standard of living? This, to them is a much mooted question, as great, in fact, as to the students. Of course it naturally grieves the worthy proprietors to raise the prices, for they appear to care "in the students with a truly maternal affection. This is the chief reason why they cherish to tenderly the old adage, "Plain living and high thinking," says the Michigan Daily.
To an interested and impartial observer there is but one answer to the above questions. It is manifestly impossible to lower the standard of living much more without causing howls of ingress nation from the students who desire at least one square meal a day. It is not necessary to look into the market columns of a daily paper to discover price fluctuations in An Arbor. It is much easier to observe the fluctuation of hash, hot dogs and that wonderful concoction known as meat pie. These are even surer signs than the market reports.
Ever since Thanksgiving the old Ann Arbor standby, hash, has been working overtime. This was first noticed by the man who writes the daily menus on the oilcloth under the linen. His announcement was greeted by grunts, which signified that the fact had been duly observed and registered. Then came meat pie and hot dogs in such profusion that a freshman remarked that the proprietor must have become imbued with John D. Rockefeller tendencies.

Some are seriously debating whether they will stand for a rise in prices. Isn't it better to board in a more informal manner, eating "frapped hay" in the morning lunching off a soggy hamburger and then capping the day with some tenderloin of beef, a la Joe's? If there really is an increase in the price of board many will choose the latter alternative to the long suffering hash, which smiles sadly and displays all the wiles of an old friend when you meet it for the third consecutive time in two days.
James Bulline Hackman
This conclusion is totally erroneous, for the boarding house proprietor is not in the business for gain derived but merely for the purpose of properly equipping youthful intellects with the proper start in life. Thus must be so, for have they not repeatedly sworn the same to us since the memory of the first head of the establishment, who sucumbed to the hash.
Eggs have been selling at such prohibitive prices that even the cold storage variety of the 1906 vintage have soared away above the heads of ordinary mortals. Eggs are served only once or twice a week in most places and not at all in others. In fact eggs are getting so scarec and so much prized that they threaten to displace the currency as a medium of exchange. Hereafter, Bull Durham and beer will be sold not by the nickel's worth but by the egg's worth. One man in this town has a collection of six eggs, saved from rush-time, and he is fast becoming one of the campus idobecause of his enormous wealth.
The compressed pound steak is another sure sign of a raise in the price of food stuffs. To prepare round steak, a lo Ann Aabor, is one of the fine culinary arts, and cafes and hotels in other cities threaten to send their chefs to our boarding houses for instructions. A piece of steak about the size of a dollar, is expanded through pounding until it nearly covers a large diner plate. Of course the surface is perforated by large holes, but this gives it a very artistic appearance. The "studes" fail to appreciate it, but then, this it to be expected for several faculty members of late have forcibly told their classes that the American is unappreciative of art and perfect form whether in literature or any other walk of life It would take a Frenehman to appreciate this chef-d'oeuvre of the Ann Arbor kitchen.
Just what is causing the rise in the price of food stuffs is known only to a few. The favored one are the embryo political economists who are saving their knowledge for the impending examinations, fearful of not being able to finish their explanation before that time should they be so indiscreet as to inform anyone now.

GLEE CLUB WILL SING IN KANSAS TOWNS.
Twelve Singers the Director and Accompanist Will Make the Trip - To Visit New Towns.
The University Glee club will leave Monday morning on its regular spring concert tour. As usual, the trip will consist of a week of single night concerts in Kansas towns.
Abilene, Salina, Ellsworth, Lindsborg, Emporia, and Alma are the towns to be visited. In speaking of the trip today, Forde the manager of the club, said "With the exception of Emporia none of the towns on the trip this spring have ever been visited by the Glee club before. The aim has been, as far as possible, to make the advertising that naturally accrues to the University, as great as possible."
The club has an array of talent this year that has hardly been equaled in any of the former years. The concerts will be along the line of the program given by the club in chapel before Christ mas.
The following men will go on the trip :
First tenors, Hesser, Campbell Buxton; second tenors, Dodge Conley, MacAdams; first basses Marshall, Brigham, Perkins; second basses, Power, Rhodes, and Forde. Professor Hubach, as director and William Kates as accompanist, will complete the number.

"This is the week when the landlads light the fire fifteen minutes earlier in the morning than usual and sweep twice a week instead of once," said a senior at the cheek stand this morning, as he thumbed over the telephone book looking for the address of the transfer company. "Is it because it's quiz week and the students need extra attention, do you ask? Not at all; it's because this is moving week."
