HOOK FOR HIGHBROW DRAMA
SAY NORTHWESTERN CRITICS
"Highbrow" drama has come under
the ban of the Daily Northwestern, of
Northwestern university, because the
editors of the paper said, "We have
been fighting the highbrow play for
two years. We want a play that the or-
dinary freshman can understand when
put over by an ordinary student actor."
The Chicago Tribune, on the other
hand, in commenting on the editor's
statement, remarks, that "The one
great dread of the college student is
that he may learn something."
Recently, one of the university or-
ganizations staged a play, "What the
Public Wants." The tone of the play
was evidently beyond the comprehen-
sion of the audience, according to the
Daily's critic, who said that the "co-ed
actresses were becomingly gowned,
but that the student public waited
breathlessly for an expression of com-
prehensible sentiment from them."
The article did not meet with the
approval of the actors or the faculty,
who condemned the Daily for its "low-
brow" ideals, and said that it was the
purpose of the club to "elevate the
common herd."

TINKER TO DEVOTE FULL TIME
Approximately $5,000 has been
raised toward the erection of a new
university Y. M. C. A. building, and
Wellington H. Tinker, religious work
director, expects to devote practically
all of his time during the coming
month, to the soliciting. of funds to
complete the required amount of
$120,000. ,
The gift of $60,000, given to the as-
sociation by John D. Rockefeller of
New York, bears the conditional stip-
ulation that a corresponding amount
must be raised by October 1, of this
year. The association officials are bend-
ing every effort toward the securing
of the necessary funds, but on account
of the financial stringency now preval-
ing with considerable difficulty. The
board of, directors are now considering
various means of raising the money
before the required time.
Among the large gifts secured by
the association during the past few
weeks, is' a check for $1000 received
from Richard Webber, president of the
J. L. Hudson Co., of Detroit. Several
other gifts of varying amounts have
also been received to date from other
prominent Detroit business men, and
a number have promised to give the
matter their consideration in the

near future.
Employment Bureau Aids Jobless Men
Several students have been supplied
with work, during the past few days
at the Michigan Union employment
bureau. Employment for students
planning on work for the spring and
summer vacations is on hand in
abundance at the bureau.
"OPERA NUMBER" APPEARS SOON
Gargoyle Plans on Issuing Magazine
Replete with Features
When the "Opera Number" of the
Gargoyle appears Apr. 2, a number of
distinctive features will be seen, if
the plans of the editors materialize.
The issue takes its name from the time
of its appearance, but the subject mat-
ter is not to be in any way limited by,
this.
It is the intention of the managers to
enlist the efforts of all past and pres-
ent talented writers upon the campus
in an endeavor to present an all-star
feature. With this end in view, letters
have been written to all the artists
and writers who have helped in the
past to produce the Gargoyle. The
same method of interesting literary
talent has been resorted to. Prominent
members of the rhetoric faculty have
been. appealed to, and April 2 should
see an issue of the humor publication
that will set the mark for future ones.
The editor will welcome material
from anyone on the campus, and
states that art material must be in his
hands by March 18, and literary arti-
cles by March 21.
ASSOCIATION ADOPTS RULING
LENGTHENING TRACK DISTANCE
Change Ordered at Intercollegiate
Meeting of March 6 Affects
Runners' Time
Track records made on circular
tracks will be harder to break hence-

on March 6, at the annual convention
of the Intercollegiate association: of
amateur athletes of America, The

Chief of American Party Tells Tales
of Mountain-Climbing; Moving
Pictures Show Danger
WILL GIVE LECTURE MARCH 19
What will perhaps be one of the
most interesting as well as instructive
lectures of the year, will be given by
Asa C. Baldwin at Memorial hall, Fri-
day, March 19, on the experiences of
his party in making the survey othe
Alaskan boundary. This is considered
one of the most difficult, as, well as
dangerous, surveying problems that
has ever been undertaken.
Mr. Baldwin was chief of the Amer-
ican party, which worked in conjunc-
tion with the Canadian party, in ac-
cordance with the treaty of the two
governments. The location of the
141st meridian required an ascent up
the slopes of Mt. St. Elias to an ex-
treme altitude of 17,000 feet.. It will
be remembered that Prof. Israel C.
Russell, who was formerly professor
of geology at the University of. Mich-
igan, made several attempts to as-
cend Mt. St. Elias and was nearly suc-
cessful. It was through the advice
that he furnished the Duke Abruzzi,
who is the only other man who has
successfully climbed the peak, that the
latter was able to reach the summit.
This difficult survey work, which
engaged the attention of the . two
boundary commissions, was completed
only last year, and the experiences
incident to such an undertaking are
reflected in the pictures, and especial-
ly the moving pictures, which Mr.
Baldwin brings with him to illustrate
his lecture. Incidentally, much of the
peculiar life of Alaska is represented
upon the screen.
The lecture is given under the aus-
pices of the university and is open to
all who are interested.
SOPH PROM TO BE GIVEN MAY 7
Elaborate Decorations in Armory Will
Surpass Previous Attempts.
Soph prom officials have announced
that April 30, the tentative date pre-
viously announced, for the soph prom,
has been changed, and the affair is
now definitely set for Friday, May 7.
The prom will be held at the Armory,
and the music for the affair will be
furnished by Ike Fischer's orchestra,
together with the "Rag Pickers Quar-
tet," which will take an active part in
the series of feature dances being
planned by the committee in charge.
The plans of the decorating committee
have not been definitely announced, but
promises are made that the Armory
will be more elaborately decorated
than it ever has been before.
The gneral committee has, been
holding weekly meetings for some
time, and wfill have the plans for the
ticket sale and other details completed
in a few weeks.
track in the future will be measured
12 inches from the border, instead of
18 inches as heretofore.
The ruling will not affect the distan-
ces run on straight-away track, but
will materially lengthen the course as
a result of the smaller distances at the
curves. According to Intramural
Director Rowe, on a track similar to
the one on Ferry field, with a radius
at the end curves of 200 feet, the track
will have to be lengthened three feet
for each lap, or four yards for the
mile.
Assuming that the mile is run in
4:23, which is the Ferry field record
made by "Eddie" Hanavan in 1912, the
longer distance which will have to be
run will make a difference of about

ONLY LARGE COLLEGE BADLY HIT
If Michigan makes any kind of a
good showing in the eastern inter-
collegiate this year, it will be because
of the development of new track men.
Statistics compiled by an easte'rn sport
writer show that the Wolverine team
has lost more men who placed in last
year's intercollegiate, than any other
university.
"The Michigan team is literally shot
to pieces," says the writer. "Of the team
which scored 29/ points, only two
men representing six points are left.
The men graduated include Bond and
Seward, who scored 14/points in the
two sprints; Kohler, who won the ham-
mer and was' fifth in the shot, and
Jansen, third in the quarter mile. The
two point winners left are Smith,
second in the 220 and fifth in the 100,
and Ferris, fifth in the broad jump."
Cornell, which won the meet last
year, losses but 17/ of its 43 points,
leaving 25% points, a margin of 2/
points over Pennsylvania, which
retains 23 of its 31 points. Yale, Dart-
mouth and. California, which ranked
below ' Michigan in last year's meet,
this year retain three times as many
points as the Maize and Blue can show.
Of the 65 point winners last year,
who scored 195 points, the remarkable
number of 45 point winners represent-
ing 128 points, are retained for this
year's meet. Michigan, which loses
two-thirds of her point winners, and
over three-fourths of her points, is the
only one of the larger institutions
badly hit by graduation.
The following table shows how last
year's point winning colleges rank as
the result of losses by graduation:-

To

Study of Elementary and Advanced
Newspaper Work -Scheduled for
First Time; L. L. Bryson
Takes Charge
NUMEROUS CLASSES WILL BE
ADDED TO REGULAR PROGRAM
Offer "Psychology of Advertising" and
"Accounting Principles"
on List
Prof. E. H. Kraus, acting dean of the
summer session, announces several
new courses which will be given for
the first time in any summer session.
Two courses in journalism will be giv-
en, the one being a course in "Elemen-
tary Newspaper Writing," and the
other a course in "Advanced News-
paper Writing." The former will be a
study of the simpler principles of
newspaper writing, while the latter
will consist chiefly in individual work,
in which those enrolled will take up
some phase of newspaper work in
which they are particularly interested.
Both of these courses will be given by
Mr. L. L. Bryson, and from time to
time experienced newspaper men from
nearby cities will supplement the class
work by giving informal lectures.
A course in "The History of Re-
ligion" will be given by Prof. C. Bon-
ner. The object of this course is to
acquaint students with the principal
elementary phenomena of religion and
their development in different environ-
ments. This course should be partic-
ularly interesting to students of phil-
osophy,: and, psychology, of relgo,
theology and ancient literature.
"'The Psychology of Advertising,"
course 24cs, a psychological survey
of principles involved in advertising,
will also be offered. Dr. H. F. Adams
will have charge of this course.
Two courses in accounting will also
be given, the first being a course in
"Accounting Principles," course 38b,
and the second, "Accounting Princi-
ples," course 38. The former deals
primarily with the theoryof accounts,
while th latter will consist chiefly
in laboratory work in which the stu-.
dent will be required to work out three
sets of books, one for private business,
one for partnership and one for cor-
poration. Mr. R. G. Rodkey will take
charge of this course.
Prof. Paxon will give two courses in
history, the one dealing with the "His-
tory of the United States since the
1ivilWar,1873-1913," and the other will
be a "Seminary in American History."
Still another course will be given
by Prof. E. A. Boucke, the name of the
course being "Henrik Ibsen."

MAZZINI AND OTHER ESSAYS
Henry Damarest Lloyd
(306L 79M)
Masses of quotations strung on a
thin thread of thought, characterizes
many of these essays. Lloyd, a pseudo-
socialistic reformer, has raised his
voice in a popular howl for freedom
of the masses, giving us little that is
new or intrinsically valuable. Sev-
eral of the effusions were originally
speeches before various club and so-
cial gatherings. As such, they un-
doubtedly served their purpose, but,
with few exceptions, contain little

charm or enlightenment for the read-
ing public.
"A Day with William Morris," the
second essay, is delightful in spots,
giving us unusual snapshots of the
man and his tremendous activities. It
is, however, marred by constant rep-
etitions and wandering from the sub-
ject into by-paths of reform talk.
"Emerson's Wit and Humor" is
highly amusing and well worth the
reading. This is due to the fact that
it is not an essay at all, but a collec-
tion of quotations from, and anecdotes
of Emerson himself with very little
interpolation by the author.
In the light of Mr. L. C. Van Nop-
pen's recent lectures here, on "Dutch
Influence in the United States," Mr.
Lloyd's essay on "Some Dutch No-
tions" is interesting and of value, in
that it corroborates many of the for-
mer's statements, but again holds that
the Dutch are models for free reform.
"No Mean City," the last of the
essays, is finely written. Although
pertaining to the ideal, it is rich in
metaphor and diction. It is to be re-
gretted that, in the rest of the volume,
Mr. Lloyd did not show more of his
best inner thought and literary power.

Coach Steve Farrell stated that the
new ruling would result in slower
time, and that probably two sets of
records would be kept, the ones made
under the old ruling being especially
marked. According to the track men-
tor, no changes will be made in the
size of the track at Michigan.
STUDENTS EAGER FOR FOOTBALL
Columbia's Athletics Show Financial
Loss Since Abolishing Sport.
Following the inter-class football
game last fall, Columbia has been
discussing the return of the game to
that institution with more vigor and,
determination than has been evidenced
at any time since the abolishing of the
sport. The student body has taken up'
the question in earnest, and they are
expecting that their movement will be
productive. Columbia has lost finan-
cially in athletics ever since the big
sport was tabooed.
