Opera Granted to be One of
Successful in Last Few
Years

31ost

(By S. S. Attwold)
Entering into the spirit of "Come
On, Dad" from start to finish, th cast
and chorus wound up the last night
of the opera with a well rounded per-
formance that won merited applause
from an appreciative house.
The scenery, artistically designed
and well arranged was excellently
suited td make an appropriate and
bright background for the costumes.
This year's opera made a special ap-
peal to the eye, pleasing costumes,
gay with colors, brilliant but not
clashing, put the audience in a mood
receptive to the offerings of the play-
ers.
It is hardly to be expected that any
deep laid plot would be found in a
,production of this character. In
former operas the weakness of the plot
was one of the strongest criticisms.
"Come On, Dad" displayed coordin-
ation of the action and songs in a
measure to warrant commendation.
The three acts increased in action
'and in the enthusiasm of the cast and
chorus from the opening chorus to the
climax in the finale. The close of the
second act produced the best piece of
music for the entire company.
Mat Towar, as the eccentric and ego-
tistic old professor, will be longest re-
membered for his creation of a char-
acter, laughable and quite original in
Michigan Union operas. Paul Moore
sings "Marry Me, Mary" to an at-
-tractive heroine, Paul Wilson.
This song is one of the opera's best
but it was rendered with a lack of
warmth hardly consistent with such
an important occasion in a young
man's life. Could Mary have put a
little .more volume and a little less
disguise in her voice, she would have
been even more attractive.
It is on Knight Mirrielees as Tom
Broadhead, Jr., that the opera depends
for the punch that makes it "get
across." He brings the whole to the
climax in a manner appreciated by
the audience, who called him and his
sattelites, the chorus, back time after
time.
The awkwardness of the chorus adds
a masculine touch to the dancing that
amuses the audience,,waiting for some
catastrophe to occur among the "Ro-
mance Boys and Girls." The audi-
ence was, fortunately, disappointed.
As operas are presented in the fu-
ture, those now on the campus will
look back on "Come On, Dad" as a
success, and will point to "Marry Me,
Mary," "My Lover," sung by the quar-
tet: Wilson, Waltzer, Nash and
Kempf, as the two hits of this opera.
Though "Come On, Dad' can boast
no music of the lasting quality exem-
plified in "Men of the Maize and Blue,"
and "The Old Town Canoe," it will be
remembered as an opera well rounded
in all parts--singing, dancing, scenic
effects and orchestration.
The campus called for a come back
opera and "dad" came.
MERCHANTS TO CUT
ADS IN PROGRAMS
More than 60 leading Ann Arbor
merchants have signed a petition in-
itiated by The Daily, to abstain from
advertising in programs, year books,
souvenir pamphlets, handbooks, and
all other publications associated with
therUniversity not authorized by the
Board in Control of Student Publica-
tions. The signatures of the remain-
ing merchants will be solicited soon.
In a number of middle western un-
iversity towns, the solicitation of ad-
vertising for any university publica-
tion is not allowed unless sanction-
ed by faculty officials. This method
is followed to prevent merchants from
being coerced to take advertising
space in publications which will not
benefit them.
The method to be installed here will
necessitate all individuals .contem-
plating the selling of advertising in
any University publication, to first
submit their plans to the Board in
Control, which shall judge its worth,
and either outrule it as an advertis-
ing medium, or determine the amount
of advertising space to be sold and the

rates to be charged.
In the future students soliciting ad-
vertising for publications which have
been favorably passed upon, will have
rate cards bearing the printed en-
dorsement of the Board in Control of
Student Publications.

E. Cake, '10, were the persons to re-
ceive the chilly bath. Both have fully

(By Chow Chow)
The Sorority Snake strode statues-
quely through the arabesqued arch of
the Vampa Pi sorority house. As he
doffed his Borsalino his symmetrically
parted locks glistened lustrously
'neath the gently glowing chandeliers
of the drawing room mazdas. His
bow-shaped mouth bore a smile as he
thought of the pleasant evening in
store for him. For at 8 o'clock he was
to bear away Cleo Mahoney, Vampa
Pi's most pulchritudinous charmer, for
a period of unrestrained, diversion at
the Maj!
From the pocket of his chamois
skin vest he drew forth a mahogany-
plated Gruen Verithin which told him
that the hour of his conquest had ar-
rived. Eight o'clock, said the Swiss
watch which was made in Cincinnati.
Mrs. Seeall, the house chaperon,
had gone to notify Cleo of his arrival,
and soon he would hear her Dorothy
Dodd encased feet pattering down the
polished stairway. Several minutes
passed and then-a subtle fragrance
attacked the Grecian nostrils of the
Sorority Snake. But it was not the
exotic perfume of Cleo's Djer Kiss;
rather it savored of Brazalian coffee.
Suspense!
The chaperon, whose arrival had
been heralded by the odors of her cof-

Sorority Snake uncoiled himself from
the Grand Rapids divan and gave her
a questioning look.
"Miss Mahoney left word that she
went out 30 minutes after you were
due to arrive," spake she in funeral
tones.
"But it is only 8 o'clock now," ans-
wered the S. S., again cgnsulting his
watch.
"My dear sir, you have evidently
forgotten to set your watch ahead. By
the Big Ben on the mantelpiece you
will note that it is 9 o'clock," said
Mrs. Seeall with an air of finality,
pity, and sang froid. "You must not
have seen this morning's Daily."
She hafmded him the issue of Sunday
morning, and he read:
E j
On Sunday morning, March
30, 1919, in accordance with the
I act of Congress, the city and
I University clocks will be set one
hour ahead, and the University
exercises will be held on this
accelerated time for the rest of
the college year.

SALARIES OF INSTRUCTORS MAY
BE INCREASED BY
BILLS
$1,000,000 IN BILL F O R
ERECTION OF HOSPITAL
President Hutchins introduces Bills
in Person Before Meetings
of Legislature
Bills amounting to $1,900,000 for spe-
cial appropriations to the University
were reported out by the ways and
means committee of the house at Lan-
sing, states a dispatch to President
Harry B. Hutchins yesterday from the
capital city.
Salary Raise Provided
The bills as they will now be sub-
mitted to the house provide for the
following: $200,000 to complete and
equip the new library; $300,000 to
meet a deficiency for the year ending
Dec. 31, 1918; $700,000 to construct and
equip a new hospital; and $350,000 for
maintenance (additions to salaries)
for each of the next two fiscal years.
Would Give Hospital
This means that the University will
receive a new $1,015,000 hospital pro-
viding the above $700,000 appropria-
tion goes through the two houses. The
additional $315,000 comes from an ap-
propriation made in 1917 of $350,000,
of which only $35,000 has already been
used for the erection and furnishing
of a children's ward at the University
Homoeopathic hospital.
So as to be able to raise the sala-
ries of the instructing force of the
University to a living basis, a bill pro-
viding for $700,000, half of which is
to be used for each Hof the next two
fiscal years, was reported out by the
committee. This appropriation re-
places the request iade by the Uni-
versity for an increase in the mill tax
from three-eighths to one-half.
Provision for Library
For the completion of the construc-
tion of the University library building
and for equipping and furnishing the
same, a bill amounting to $200,000 is
also now submitted to the two houses.
The $300,000 appropriation asked,
by the University to meet a deficiency
in the current year ending Dec. 31,
1918, was likewise passed by the com-
mittee without modifications. The re-
duced income from student fees and
the increased' cost in everything that
the University must purchase have
caused this deficit.
President Makes Plan
Overlooking the failure of the model
school bill, the University authorities
are well pleased with the action taken
by the ways and means committee.
Although the final grants may be al-
tered, it is not believed that the re-
quests as they now are drawn up will
be cut. The committee will now sub-
mit the bills to the house and if they
pass there, the senate will then take
them up.
President Hutchins introduced at
the beginning of his regime the plan
of going in person to the state legis-
 latur~e very two years and asking for
special appropriations for the Univer-
sity. Of every request made, he has
secured special grants.

RULESFOR 1-HOP,
REGULATIONS FOR FRATERNITY
HOUSE-PARTIES MADE
PUBLIC
FLOWERS PROHIBITED;
NONE IN DECORATIONS
Flowers if Worn in Corsages Should
Be Checked at the Door of
Gymnasium
After entrusting the care and suc-
cess of the 1920 J-Hop to the commtit-
tee, the committee on student affairs
laid down the following rules:
First you will remember the Hop
was reinstated in 1914 in response to
the request from the presidents of the
several Junior classes. The petition
containing this request contained
rules which were adopted by the Uni-
versity Senate, ad should, therefore,
be considered binding.
Second, the control of the lighting
at the Hop should not be delegated to
the orchestra leaders but should be
kept in the hands of the Junior Hop
committee. There should be no "dark'
dances."
Third, in accordance with the rules
of the Board of Regents dancing must
cease at-3 a. m. and the lights be out
by 3:30 a. m.
You are requested to transmit the
following instructions to groups and
organizations conducting house par-
ties.
First, house parties shall commence
not earlier than Friday morning and
end not later than Sunday afternoon.
Second, the selection of chaperons
for house parties is left in the hands
of the group concerned, but the chap-
erones should be definitely informed of
the wishes of the University in the
following matters:
1. There should be no dancing at
the house after the Hop. After a
reasonable time for refreshments and
rest the party should break up.
2. Dances or other festivities on.
Saturday night should end promptly at
midnight.
Flowers are to be prohibited at the
Hop this year, and all those who wear
them will have their corsages checked
at the door. \ Fraternities are asked
by the Hop committee to refrain from
decorating their booths with flowers
or other luxuries which may well be
done with'out.
Contrary to the report Saturday, the
fraternities will not be required to
decorate their booths, but will only
have to furnish the furniture.
