SIX WRITE MUSIC
FOR UNION OPERA
Six men have submitted music for
the 1919 Union opera, which promis-
es to represent the best composers on
the campus. The scores for the last
two or three operas have been mainly
the work of two or three men, but the
1919 production will embody the musi-
cal themes of a larger number.
The composers forthis year are: A.
J. Gornetzky, '19L; Donald E. Rhodes,
'21; George H. Roderick, '21E, James
W. Glover, '22; M. W. Kann, '20, and
Phil Diamond.
"There will be several songs in act
one, with unusual scenic and dancing
effects and ensemble numbers by mem-
bers of the cast," was-the statement
made yesterday by Earl V. Moore, '12,
who is supervising the writing of the
music. "The finales will also be espe-
cially picturesque."
Rapid progress has been made in
the composing of the music, and a
large proportion of the numbers are
already completed.

MAILED YESTERDAY
He was a typical undertaker, this
freshman.
He went about the campus with a
was sad.
Often he would stop, rub his fat,
pudgy hands together, and murmur
dolorous expression, and occasionally such sentiments as "too near Toledo"
heaved a deep sigh as if to insinuate or, "what will it all matter in 50 years
that all paths lead but to the grave.
His freshman toque was arranged
like a wreath of funeral flowers
from now anyway?"
All this on Friday, the day of joy
and gladness, but here's the reason.
His marks had come.,

Chicago, Feb. 20.-A maximum sen
tence of 20 years at Leavenworth wa
imposed upon Congressman-elect Vic
tor Burger of Milwaukee and fou
other socialists of Milwaukee wh
linked themselves to, history's greates
martyrs.
Though convicted of conspiracy t
obstruct the draft act, they succeede
in getting release on $25,000 bail an
declared they would carry their lega
fight to the United States suprem
court.
Burger is the publisher of the Mil
waukee Leader;. the other men ar
Rev. Irwin St. John Tucker, lecture
and writer; Adolph Germer, nationa
secretary of the socialist party; Lewi
Engdhal, editor of the American So
cialist, and William Cruse, head of the
Young People's Socialist league.
Judge Landis overruled the motion
for a new trial and for a stay of execu
tion, but granted the filing of a peti
tion for as writ of error.
Burger and his associates took ful
advantage of the inquiry of the judge
before sentence. The congressman
elect finished reading his typewritten
statement with tears in his eyes. He
expressed no surprise, though declar-
ing that it was a violation of the con-
stitution. "The war was an imperial-
istic and commercial one," he declar-
ed, "and over half the white race is in
a chaotic state of revolution.
"The so called league of nations is
simply a thin screen behind which the
capitalist men of the winning side are
dividing the spoils," said Burger, who
also declared that Americanism is now
synonymous with capitalism.
Tucker in his plea compared him-
self and the other defendants to Christ.

WINNER Of' WAR CROSS
TO TELL OF ZEEBRSG
CAPTAIN CARPENTER, V. C., WILL
RELATE DARING SUBI
RAID
Captain Carpenter, V. C., will give
his illustrated lecture on the famous
Zeebrugge raid, Sunday evening, at the
Arcadia, in Detroit. Captain Carpen-
ter will speak under the auspices of
the University of Michigan club of De-
troit, the president of which has sent
the following telegram to the Michi-
gan Union:
"Our club would feel greatly honor-
ed to have with us on this occasion a
large representation from the student
body and faculty. Will you extend to
President Hutchins our invitation for
him to preside at the meeting and in-
troduce Captain Carpenter?"
President Hutchins announced last
night that he had accepted the invi-
tation.
Captain Carpenter, who has been
decorated with the Victoria Cross, con-
ceived the noted raid on the German
submarine base at Zeebrugge. He was
commander of the "Vindictive" during
this perilous naval exploit.
Tickets for the Spotlight Vaude-
ville, scheduled for Friday, Feb. 28, in
Hill Aiditorium, have met a good sale
already, when it is considered that the
show is a week off.
Desiring to assist the American
University Union in Paris, for the ben-
efit of which the vaudeville is to be
given, several campus and civic organ-
izations have volunteered to sell tick-
ets. One hundred and seventy-seven
stores in the city have them on sale.
Every fraternity has been sent a let-
ter regarding the vaudeville, and it is
expected that these appeals will meet
a ready response.
Members of the ticket sales commit-
tee will be, posted on and around the
campus beginning next Wednesday,
and passersby will be harangued to
purchase the cardboards at 35 cents
each.
PATRIOTISM "NEW" NOTE
FOR PUBLIC SCHOULS
KEYNOTE THAT WILL PERMEATE
MODERN TEACHING, SAYS
PROFESSOR
"Patriotism is a growing note in
courses of the public schools of Amer-
ica," says Prof. A. S. Whitney of the
educational department. "While there
is no course taught under that name
it is the keynote that will permeate
modern teaching and the awakening of
national interest is the aim of the am-
bitious pedagogue. This tendency will
form itself in the establishing of civic
consciousness in the youth of today
and the man of tomorrow.
"This spirit was started before the
war but has been greatly accentuated
since the end of the war" he contin-
ues, "and the note of service that has
been displayed. Children from the first
grade throughout his whole Vducation
will be taught his civic duty to the
community, from keeping his yard
clean to the managing of politics. He
will be taught to take advantage of the
high privilege of voting and to use
toward the betterment of the commu-
nity.
"Courses in high schools will be
greatly modified in the near future as
the science of history, sociology and
economics will be introduced and will
supersede the technical study of math-
ematics and memory work. The study
of civics, especially, will become the
instrument of this patriotic element
and will be used to establish in the
leaders of tomorrow a sense of civic
duty instead of learning the mechani-
cal terms of the Constitution."
MUSEUM GROWTH
FORCES STORAGE
Grade cards in the literary college
have all been made out and those
which were not mailed yesterday aft-
ernoon will be sent this morning. A
few of the cards will not be complete,
this being unavoidable. Such grades
which do not appear on the card may
be learned from the instructor in that
course.
Changes in elections can be made
Friday and Saturday mornings, these
days being the last times for such
substitutions. Petitions for permis-
sion to elect more than the limit of

days only.
Pi Delta Epsilon
Takes In Scribes
Surreptitiously seeking more mod-
ern means of offering newsier news
and ameliorated advertising, several
simple scribes will enter this after-
noon the ranks, of Pi Delta Epsilon,
national honorary fraternity in jour-
nalism.
This year, for the first time, the
budding journalists will not besport
themselves before a State street audi-
ence, as the initiation is not to be pub-
lic. Formerly the would-be scribes,
armed with the implements of their
profession, have harassed passers-by
in the endeavor to ascertain the latest
news and to dispose of antiquated is-
sues of campus publications. Today,
however, town gossip is to be obtain-
ed in greater privacy.
Scratch, goes the pen; tick, ticks the
typewriter as the initiates enter Pi
Delta Epsilon.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The Presi-
dential ship, George Washington, is
proceeding to Boston in heavy weath-
er without naval convoy, the navy de-
partment was advised by radio to-
night.
The convoying battleship, New Mex-
ico, stripped one of her turbine eng-
ines and was forced to drop out of the
fleet, while heavy weather made it
necessary for the destroyer flotilla
to leave the line.
The message said that the destroy-
ers expected to rejoin the George

ated. In the mean time, however,
Secretary Daniels has ordered the
cruiser Denver to put to sea to meet

of 15 knots an hour.

"In order to appreciate the early
French plays one must consider the
political and social conditions which
existed at the close of the middle
ages, and above all the great religious
faith of the medieval period," said
Psof. A. G. Canfield in a lecture be-
fore the Cercle Francais given in
French on "L'ancien Theatre Fran-
cais," yesterday afternoon.
Professor Canfield traced the be-
ginnings of the French theater from
the religious fetes in which repre-
sentations of the holy family were
given before the altar, to the larger
ones given out of doors in public
places.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth cen-
turies morality plays and farces be-
came popular, the former being some-
times gay andisometimes solemn, but
always didactic. The farces contain-
ed no high ideas but strove to cause
laughs by showing people's faults'and
vices, he said.

ACTION OF SUPREME COURT
AFFECTS ANN ARBOR LITTLE
Liquor Ruling of State Tribunal
Does Not Bring Concern
Here
Action by the supreme court mak-
ing the search and seizure section of
the prohibition law void has had but
little effect on this city to date. Lo-
cal people have been content to ply
their peaceful trades as usual.
Sheriff A. C. Pack, the most con-
cerned, stated the ruling has made
a "goat" of the state constabulary and
the sheriff's departments, and is be-
littling the conscientious efforts their
forces have made to preserve law and
order during the last few months.
Chief of Police O'Brien believes
that many suits will be started in
this city for the recovery of liquor,
as all that has been confiscated has
beentturned over to the University
hospital.
