ASKING FOR AID FROM

Masques Produce
Decided Success
(By Jay .Bee)
Perfection-that can be attained only
by use of talent mariked the final per-
formance of Masques 1920 production,
"The New Lady Bantock," last night
at Sarah CasvWell Angell hall. The
play can be characterzed by only one
word-delightful.
Emotion, near tragedy and finally
humor, presented by a cast that was
truly remarkable when one considers
that only women took part in the pro-
duction, carried "The New Lady Ban-'
tock" into history as a success.
Madeleine Hazelton, '20, as Lady
Bantock, proved conclusively that her
ability is worthy of the professional
stage where she is said tohave first
gained her experience as an actress..
There was little more that could have
been asked of her work.
So it was with the entire cast. Mar-
ion Ames as Bennet, the butler,(Eliz-]
abeth Vickery as Lord Bantock, and
Helen Cady as George Newte, are only
a few who helped make the play a]
success. Frances Stevens and Mil-
dred Sherman were indeed realistic in'
their portrayal of Lord Banitock's
aunts.,
From the heroine down to each of
the members of the "Our Empire"
musical comedy company, there can
be little else than commendation.
Masques produced a decided hit.

E Lit-Law Game Called Off

The following letter was received
yesterday by President Harry B.
Hutchins: -
Dear Mr; President:.
Our country faces 'a possible cur-
tailment of food production due to a
shortage of farm labor-a shortage
that promises to increase as the sum-
mer advances.
May I urge that you bring this sit-
uation to the attention of the young
men in your student body with the
suggestion that, if possible, they spend
their summer vacations helping onthe'
farms? A considerable number of col-
lege men already mlake this a prac-
tice. This year there is special need
for such help on the farms, because
of the importance of maintaining a
normal production of food. I hope that
not only'students, but business men
generally, will lend aid,' as so many
of them did, patriotically and effective-
ly, in the summer of 1918.
ieports received by the United
States Department of Agriculture
show that the present supply of hired
farm labor is 15 per cent less than
last year and approximately 72 per
cent of the normal supply - which
was almost exactly the situation in
1918. The. farmers and their families
are doing their utmost to keep up
production, but they cannot secure the
hired help -that they formerly have
had. In consequence, the food sup-
ply may be measurably reduced unless
assistance is given. If within the next
fortnight the business men and stu-
dents of the country will declare their
readiness to aid during the coming
summer, farmers will be more likely'
to make normal plantings.
- Of course, one with little or no
farm experience should not expect to
earn as much at first as a seasoned
farm hand, but in a few weeks prac-
tically all men and boys who are
adaptable, alert, and strong should be
able to earn good wages in the har-
vest field. The demand for farm labor
has brought about a considerable in-
crease in the level of farm wages.
This increase, however, does not per-
mftthe farmer-employer to compete
(See Number 2, Page Six)
Inasmuch as the instructor is re-
garded as an "intellectual Nomad" on
the campus, according to the views
expressed at a meeting held Wednes-
day night of the Association of Uni-'
versity Instructors at the University
of Michigan, several plans were sug-
gested to better the situation of in-
structors here.
Discussion{ took place on the possi-
bilities 'of employment elsewhere,
both in coamercial and educational
lines, and a movement was started to
investigate such positions.
Low Salaries Mean Young teachers
Several suggestions were made, one
being that the instructor find out from
the head of his department just what
his chances for the future are, and it
was also stated that there should be
a greater spirit of frankness between
the individual instructors and heads
of departipents. . -
At the present low rate of salaries
it was shown that the University is
unable to get men of much teaching
experience and that young men are
secured who have not done much re-
search work. These men are then
given so much teaching work' to do
that research work is out of the ques-
tion.
May Start Investigation
The matter was also brought up con-,
cerning the enfranchisement of in-
structors and a plan was suggested
that an instructor after three years'
service be given a vote on faculty
matters, as it was pointed out that
after 10 years the former instructors'
are the men who are then running
the campus.
It was reported that certain profes-
sors on the campus are in favor of an
investigation being held regarding the
amount o'teaching work done by the
instructors, for they feel that the bulk
of the teaching is being donie by in-
structors and so are in favor of some-j
thing being done to stabilize the in.
structor group. -
One of the men stated that he ex-
pected to see the staff In his depart-
ment made up of women next year
due to the difficulty in obtaining men.
SHOW TIES IN BOTH JUNIOR
AND SOPH LITS FOR COUNCIL
Final count on the All-campus elec-
tion held last Wednesday shows a
total of 3,188 votes cast, which makes
this year's election the heaviest ever
