STUDENTS IN CAMPAIGN
HONORABLE WHYTE,
M. P., TO TALK HERE
Hon. Alexander F. Whyte, a mem-
ber of the English parliament and ed-
itor of "The New Europe," will lec-
ture on "Changing England" at 4:15
o'clock Monday afternoon in the audi-
torium of the Natural Science build-
ing.
A member of the University of Min-
nesota history faculty writes the fol-
lowing concerning the speaker: "Mr.
Whyte has been with us for a weel
and is considered by the men here
to be the best speaker that has ever
been on the local campus. It\has
been a feast of Engish politics. I be-
lieve that no Englishman has ever
'been so well received in Minneapolis,
Mr. Whyte was in Paris during the
last part of the Peace conference and
has talked very enlighteningly of its
various workings."
Mr. Whyte has had considerable ex-
perience in dealing with European
politics both as a member of the
British parliament and of the Indus-
trial Insurance conference in 1910 at
Vienna.

WOMAN'S LOVER HELD
I FURTHER INVESTIGATION
Prof. A. S. Warthin, director of the'
University ; pathological laboratory,
was called .to Lawton, Mlch., Tuesday
at the request of Van Buren county
officials, to make a special investi-
gation of the body of Maude Faith
Tabor, '.00, which was discovered Sun-
day afternoon bured. in a wooden
trunk in the cellar of the Tabor ho ne
in .that city. It is believed by Van
Buren county physicians that the
body had been in the trunk for three
years; and, as no marks of violence'
were found; tloe general suspicion is
that death resulted from poisoning.
Body Well Preserved
The body was found' to be so re-
markably well preserved that it is
thought salt was used in its disposi-
tion. It is said that all traces of any,
poisoning but arsenic would have dis-
appeared in three years, but police and
county officials are making every ef-
fortto clear up the mystery, and lave
called upon Dr. Warthin in order to,
have expert medical testimony. Mrs.
F. T. Critchlow, elder sister of the
dead woman, and Joseph Virgo, of
South Bend, Ind., said to have been
Miss Tabor's sweetheart, are, being;
hdld in; Lawton pending investigation.
Mrs. Critchlow, who discovered the,
:ody believed to be that of her. sis-
er, has refused to testify and has thus;
nade as positive identification impos-
ible.
20 Committees to Work on Competitiv
Basis, According to Present
Plans
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursda3
pf next week with a ,possible grant
clean up day on Friday are the dates
set for this year's campaign for Un-
ion life members. Early Tuesday 20(
men divided into 20 committees will
start the drive to equal at least the
successful campaign of last ypar whet
1,000 men signed up and in all prob-
ability ,efforts will, be made to sur-
pass' the record of 1919.
During thi ' three day period,, 4,000
students; who are at present annual
members, will be solicited to become
life members. Although the purpose
of the drive is primarily to enlist
the seniors, every student will be ap-
proached.
Porter, '21, Chairman o
Donald Porter, '21, general chair-
mal of the campaign, has appointed
the majority of the.20 chairmen, and
the entire number will be announced
within a 'few days. ' Each chairman
will name, 10 men to act as his assist-
ants. As last year each man will be
given a list of 20 stndents to ap-
proach, who are as yet not life mem-
bers.
The last campaign netted approx-
imately 1,00 memberkhips which
brought into the Union a sum of $50,-
000.' A larger sum will probably be
taken in this year, and although the
major part of this money will not be
received for some years, the aim of
the drive is to secure funds to com-
plete the unfinished parts of the build-
ing. !
May Continue Friday
Details of the campaign are bein,
worked out by Chaifmpn Porter, apd
will be announced within a few days.
It is expected that everyone can be
approached in the three days, set for
the drive, but it may be that a grand
finish day on Friday may be desir-
able.
The 20 committees will work on a
competitive basis, the committee with
the best recera being treated to a
steak dinner the eeek-after the drive'
is over. It ;is probable that the man
who signs up the most men will re-
ceive some special recognition of his
work.'

CAL NUMBERS; CROWD LARGE
Varsity Glee and Mandolin club took
their "mid-semester exam" last night
before a crowd of townspeople and sta-
depts estimated to be more than 2,000.
Hearty applause was given all of
the numbers, and some of the special
numbers were encored, notably the
"hula" dance by I. T. Sanborn, '201,
accompanied by the Varsity Stringed
Sextet, the selections by the "Sextet,"
and the Girls' Glee club. The girls
were called back after the two selec-
tions given, to render another.
Clubs-Alternate
Beginning the program, both the
Glee and Mandolin clubs united for
The Victors and Varsity. Alternate
numbers by each club followed, inter-
spersed wlh specialty numbers. Var-
sity Quartet was encored, following
their first selection. "Father Wil
lam" and "She Wilted" were given
next by the Glee club.,
"Jazz by the Jazz Sextet" came next,
and received a fullshare of the ap-
plause, the Sextet responding to an en-
core.
Considerable amusement was creat-
ed by the specialty given Eby S. S.
Hawkes, '21, recalling !'The Days of
Yore" and "Joe and the Orient."
Ramsey Sings'
The "Stringed Sextet" was recalled
for a second selection, the crowd ap-
plauding long after they left thestage
.for the last time.
H. E. 'Ramsey, a Scotchman, sang
two numbers in that brogue. "There
Are No Tears" by the Glee club con-
clued their part singly in the pro-
gram, and Ave Maria by the Mandolin
club was theirl ast number.

Full Orchestra
For Spo tligh t
This year's Spotlight will be the first
show of its kind to have a complete
orchestra.
In former productions it was cus-
tomary for most of the numbers to
be musical but this year many are
novelty stunts and it was thought that
the orchestra'would be an aid in sup-
plementing them. It will consist of
20 pieces of the regular Union orches-

'The proceeds of the Spotlight which
will be held this Frdiay will go to-
wards the fund for the- Union swim-
ming pool. "Due to the increasing
cost of the materials," said Homer
Heath, general manager of the
Union, "the sum needed for the con-
struction of toe pool mounts steadi-
ly. The price that is quoted at pres-
ent is $40,540. Although the' m'oney
from the Spotlight will not be a large
factor still it will count."
Tickets for the Spotlight-will e on
sale today, in booths bn the campus
and in the State street book stores.
Although the tickets have so far been
on sale only two days W. D. Craig,
'20, who has charge of the sale, says
that they are going fast and some peo-
ple will undoubtedly not be able to
get tickets unless they buy before Fri-
day.
Opera Receiving
Fin al ITou-ches
With its first performance, schedul-
ed for Thursday, Dec. 1.1, but a' week
away, the cast of "Red Feather" is
receiving extra drilling in an effort
to 'bring the production to perfection
for the first' night.
Rehearsals, which are now being
held twice daily at the Union, will be
shiftdd to the stage of the Whitney
theater the first of next week, There
will sbe two dress rehearsals held, and
all those at the theater will be, with
scenery.
"Red Feather," which is the work of
Reginald DeKoven and Charles Klein,
includes several unusually difficult
singing roles, according to E. Morti-
mer Shuter, director of the produc-
tion, but these are being capably fill-
ed by the principals. With men of the
caliber of James Hamilton and Robert
Dieterle taking the male leads, and
with Mrs. P. Walcott as "Red Feath-
er," or Countess Draga, theater-goers
are assured of hearing DeKoven's mu-

Salaries of Teachers Discussed
'At an open meeting of the Men's
Educational club Tuesday evening at
Lane hall the salaries of school teach-
ers ,was the main topic of'discussion.
The responsibility of the' school su-
perintendent and the board of educa-
Shuter.
Officials state that in spite of the
fact that both DeKoven and Klein rank
at the top of their profession in Amer-
ica, they find that many students do
not know for what these men are best
known. Klein has written such stage
successes as "The Music Master," "The,{
Lion and the Mouse" and "The Third
Degree," while'DeKoven is best known
for "Robin Hood," although he has
written the music for numerous other
comic opera successes.
