[iriain, Heideman, '17, Writes to Daily
Asking Opportunities in Journal-
istic Field for Women
'o the Editor of The Michigan Daily:
I was immensely pleased with your
ditorial in this morning's "Daily"-
bout welcoming the women, you
now. But really, you l1ave not been
misjudged" at all-I think any criti-
isms you have received have been
uite in order. You will see the wom-
n's point of view when you have read
he following recital of my troubles.
When The Daily ann'ounced its ex-
imination for prospective reporters
ast fall, which examination is held
wice a year and is "open to all un-
ergraduates of the university," I
reenly considered myself eligible
'being a sophomore) and prepared to
ake it, because I was interested in
iewspaper work. Very fortunately, I
vas saved just in time from commit-
ing an unforgivable "faux pas" by
me of The Daily reporters to whom
had confided my plan. He was thor-
oughly alarmed at such a rash, hare-
brained, unthinkable proceeding-the
spectacle of 4 girl going over to The
Daily office to take an examination
with men! Horrors! and a couple of
nercy-me's! Who ever heard of such
a thing!--quite an unprecedented
piece of nerve!!
In disgust, I bore my tale of woe
;o Mrs. Jordan, and learned that "the
nen work in their shirt-sleeves
around the office, and it's no place for
a girl." Thusly "squelched," I set-
tled down to woman's proper occupa-
tions: lessons, teas, and dancing-par-
ties. Down in my secret soul I won-
dered if the first engineer girl that
invaded the blacksmith shops encoun-
tered as extremely cautious and con-
servative a set of young men as my
"shirt-sleeved" friends? In what
manner of garb did they work, I won-
dered?
I did rather resent my sex, which
kept me from enjoying the experience
granted freely and as a matter of
course to the men who liked news-
paper work. Now I have nobly over-
come that "peeved" state of soul, but
I want to make the following sugges-
tion copied from The Daily Cardinal
for Sept. 25 (I have been comparing
the Wisconsin paper with our own
Daily, and find that most of the 16
pages consist mainly of advertise-
ments, while our own paper has ex-
tremely enjoyable reading-matter, al-
though my judgment may be biased.
In one of the editorial offices in my
home town they have an idea that we
are not doing very much in journal-
ism at Michigan-they tally to me
about Columbia and Madison-hence
my interest in the Cardinal), "Try-
outs for the women's page (f the Car-
dinal will start Monday morning. The
try-outs will cover feature story writ-
ing, editorials and general reporting.
Any one desiring to try out should
see the editor Monday afternoon be-
tween five and six."
Please, kind sir, let's followthe ex-
ample set by our enterprising Madi-
son journalists.

"hIGH JINKS" AND "SARI'" GIVEN
'4lligh Jinks" at the Whitney Theater
"Something Seems Tingle-Ingle-
Ing," as the magic perfume sets the
prihcipals and chorus of "High Jinks"
to singing and dancing, when Arthur
Hammerstein presents the popular
musical comedy at the Whitney thea-
ter Saturday, October 9. This tune
threads its way through -the entire
performance, and proves, it is said,
one of the jolliest airs in many sea-
sons of musical comedy. The plot
deals with the innoc nt mixing up of
wives and fiancees. A fleeing doc-
tor, pursued by a dueling Frenchman
whose wife the doctor has kissed,
changes the locale from Paris to the
seaside. Numerous complications
arise, makiig the story a typical
French farce full of life and merri-
ment, yet kept clean from start to
finish. In addition to "Something
Seems Tingle-Ingle-Ing," the plot
forms the thread upon which . are
strung such bright musical gems as
"Jim," "Love's Own Kiss," "Come
Hither Eyes" and "Chi Chi."
Lyman Howe at Whitney
Lyman Howe comes to the Whitney
theater Tuesday, October 19, in a fea-
ture covering 'a journey through the
Panama canal to the California expo-
sitions. Many architectural gems, as
the Tower of the Jewels and the tri-
umphant arches and the statuary that
adorns the courts at the San Fran-
cisco exposition, are shown, and the
Spanish "atmosphere" of ancient and
medieval Spain is especially complete
and striking.
For sheer beauty, the wonders in-
side the gates of both expositions
eclipse all thus far, and it seems al-
most unnecessary to add that Howe's
camera men have transcribed them
in almost perfect detail to their films.
"Sari" at the Whitney
"Sari," the fascinating heroine of
Henry W. Savage's operetta of the
same name, comes to the Whitney the-
ater Saturday, October 16, matinee
and night, with charming Mizzi Hajos
in the title role, supported by the New
York cast and production. Sari has
her hands full keeping peace between
two geniuses, her father, the gypsy
leader, and her brother. She keeps
the audience thoroughly interested
and amused trying to do it and inci-
dentally wins a husband for herself.
The music for "Sari" was composed
by Emmerick Kalman and has all the
lilt and verve and t e fire of all gen-
uine Hungarian mus:c. The melodies
are fresh and sparkling and the
dances catching, while the setting and
the daring costumes are rich and
beautiful.
Amato at Hill Auditorium
Pasquale Amato, the great grand
opera and concert baritone who has
captivated his audences all over the
world, appears at Hill auditorium Oc-
tober 16, on the first of the Pre-Fes-
LYCIEUM TERM BEGINS
STUDENTS WISHING TO TRY OUT
ARE TO CONSULT PROF. R. D.
HOLLISTER TODAY
Work will soon start in earnest in
the Lyceum club, according to Prof.
R. D. Hollister, of the oratorical de-
partment. It is the desire of the club
to extend its membership, and Pro-
fessor IHoilister will be in his room,
302 north wing, this morning at 10:00
o'clock to consult with any students
desirous of trying out for member-
ship.
As is customary, a number of student
speakers will be .sent to different
parts of the state this year. A re-
quest already has come from Lansing
for five men to address a class in the
Baptist Sunday school.
The object of the club Is primarily
to give devotees of the forensic art
an opportunity to gain some real ex-
perience, but there are also social ac-
tivities.
FORE STE RS ARRANGE TO MEET
IN NEW SCIENCE BUILDING
Members of the forestry club will
hold their first meeting of the year
in room 214, new science building, at
7:30 o'clock next Wednesday evening.
The election of a corresponding sec-
retary, a business manager and an
associate editor will take place at this
time to fill vacancies left by men who
have not returned this year. Several
dances and a smoker will be held by
the club this year and membership is
open to any student enrolled in the
forestry course.
tival Concerts given by the University
Musical society. It is only necessary
to mention the famous Amato to re-
call his great popularity when he ap-
peared in Ann Arbor previously, and
his coming this year in a full song
recital is greatly anticipated.
Bernhardt Begins Dec. 9
Sarah Bernhardt cabled her Amer-
ican manager, William F. Connor,
"December 9 exact date," and at that
time the famous French actress will
open her New York engagement. The
delay in beginning her American
bookings is due to the war, in which
several members. of her company have
been wounded or killed. She an-
nounces extension of the tour if nec-
essary.
Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
Detroit is making great strideg with
its Symphony Orchestra, and this year
under the direction of Weston Gales
a number of new compositions will be
presented from time to time and some
prominent soloist brought to Detroit.
An Irish symphony in F minor, by
Stranford, and "Intermezzi Goldoni-
ani," by Rossi, are among the new
numbers, while some of the soloists
are Katherine Goodson, pianiste;
Beatrice Harrison, cellist, and Fran-
cis McMillen, violinist.
The concerts are to be given at the
Detroit Opera house and the dates
will be announced later with pro-
grams.
