The comedy in which this finished actor is to be seen is "The Chief," and it has been fash- ioned in so clever a manner and with so much skill that there is more than the ordinary amount of interest and curiosity regarding it. In the play Mr. Drew enacts the part of an earl who is very much like anyone else, for he has a heart and falls in love and his happiness is threatened by a designing woman, all of which Mr. Vachell tells in an unconventional, pleasing manner. The play is in three acts and is laid in London. POSTMASTER ABBOTT COMPLAINS OF IRREGTLAIR PARCEL MAILING Postmaster Abbott of this city has requested that students refrain from mailing parcel post packages at any mail receptacles other than those at the main or sub stations. The post- master asserts that the practice of mailing packages at other boxes causes much delay and trouble in that often insufficient postage is placed on the packages, and as a re- sult they are held until sufficient postage is received for them. Post- master Abbott declares that the great- est numbers of packages are mailed in the receptacle at Washtenaw and S. University, but that at every box there are frequent violations. PROF.

NOTICE At its May meeting, the Board in Control of Student Publications will choose a business manager and man- aging editor for The Michigan Daily, managing editor for The Michiganen- sian, and manager for the Athletic Pro- gram, respectively. It is the policy of the board in filling the positions on the publications under its control to award them on the basis of merit to those who have served in minor positions on the publication to which the posi- tions pertain. It sometimes happens, however, that no one who has served on the publica- tion during the year is eligible or ca- pable of filling one of the leading po- sitions for the ensuing year. When either of these sets of circumstances arises the board finds it necessary to consider outside candidates. This no- tice should not be considered as an intimation that either of these situa- tions will arise this year. All applications for these positions should be in the hands of Professor F. N. Scott as soon as possible and not later than May 2 in order to be con- sidered. Each application should con- tain a statement-of the experience of the applicant and should be accom- panied by the applicant's eligibility -ard and any letters of recommenda- tion which he may have.
