THE MICHIGAN DAILY
DARTMOUTH HUMOR BOOK
EDITOR is SUSPENDED
"~Jack-o'-Lantern" Chief Incurs D~is-
pleasure oaf Faculty by Protest
Against drill
Hanover, N. IH., May 16-Because
his paper has been outspoken against
the faculty's support of preparedness
measures, Francis Stirling Wilson, ed-
itor in chief of the Dartmouth "Jack-
o'-Laiitern, has been suspended from
college. Wilson was a member of the
Ford peace party and since his return
has been opposing the Dartmouth fac-
ulty in their plan of allowing credit
for college work, to be granted for a
summer's drilling at Plattsburg. When
Wilson's suspension was announced
his fellow students iminediately cir-
culated petitions asking for his rein-
statement.
Below is a copy of the poem which
appeared in the Jack-o'-Lantern;
THREE HIOURS FOR MILITARY
DRILL AT PLATTSBURG
(Apologies to A. B. Edwards)
Give me three hours for drill, Prexy,-
Only three hours for drill;
It will save my long-sought diploma
for me,
And fifteen bones on my bill.
I am flunking Physics and French,
Prexy,-
I am flunking Physics and French,
But I'm worthy of being a Dartmouth
mean
If I can dig a trench.
They say my mind is feeble, Prexy,-
They say my brow is low;
But I'm good enough for a Dartmouth
man,
if I jump when the bugles blow.
There's liquor, and women at Platts-
burg, Prexy,-
And no Dean there, to see;
I can take 'my fun where I find it,
And still get my Dartmouth degree.
What has poor Dartmouth done,
Prexy,=
What has poor Dartmouth done,
That Athena's wreath of olive leaves
Is changed for the sword and gun?
Do not the Alumni care, Prexy,-
Does no one give a hoot,
That her once famed diploma means
That a man knows how to shoot?
You are dimming her old, old lamp,
Prexy,-
You are dimmling her old, old lamp;
And the culture that Daniel Webster
May be bought at a summer camp.
Y'ou can make] me a Dartmouth man,
Prexy,-
You can let mie get by, if you will;
Prexy! Gear Prexy! for culture's sake,
Give me three hours: for drill.'

4 AT THE THEATERS
TODAY
* Majestic - Charlie Chaplin's
*burlesque on "Carmen."
* Arcade-Marguerite Sniow in
*"The .Upstart:"
* Orpheumni-_Constance Collier
*in "The Code of Marcia C ray."
At the Majestic
/Starting this afternoon and contin-
uing Friday a big comedy bill will
be shown on the screen at the Ma-
jestic theater. The bill will start
with a comedy called "The Lion-
Hearted Chief," followed by Raymond
Hitchcock in "A Wonderful Wager,"
and concludes with a, four-act farce
with Charlie Chaplin, a burlesque on
'Carmen."~
The great climax in the opera,, Car-
men, is treated with just as much
seriousness as in the real play in
"Charlie Chaplin's Burlesque on Car-
men," the only' genuine -Chaplin fea-
ture to be obtained. The scene is the
dramatic moment when Don Jose,;
ruined and a fugitive through the
false and unscrupulous Carmen, finds
her in Madrid, where she has fled
with a popular toreador. There he
stabs her anid ends his own life. The
part is carried, out in perfect earnest
and one is given a real dramatic thrill
and is beginning to believe he is
looking at tragedy, when suddenly the
slain couple rise to their feet and
Chaplin smilingly shows that his
knife is a stage knife and the blade
slips into the handle instead of going
through the heart. The suddenness
of the turn 'accentuates the comedy
and leaves one in a gale of laughter.
