THE MICHIGAN DAILY HISOLE KEPS MUM ON MERGER QUESTION "I deemed it best not to make any public statement concerning the mat- ter of merger of the Homoeopathic Medical school until the Michigan Alumnus had spoken. Since then, I have been importuned by nearly every newspaper in the state to say some- thing. All I should say and perhaps more than I should have said I have already said." This was the word Dean Wilbert B. Hinsdale of the, Homoeopathic medical school gave out when questioned this week. Staff Not to Argue at Meet Dean Hinsdale preferred to make no prediction as to the outcome of the Regents' meeting today, at which time the merger question will be handled. He explained that the Homoeopathic staff would probably have nothing to do with presenting the arguments on their side of the case. He said that the matter of presenting the arguments in favor of maintaining the Homoeo- pathic school was being handled en- tirely by the state homoeopathic alum Di association, whose headquarters are{ in Detroit. He believed that as they were an earnest and energetic organ- ization, they would handle the work capably. Association Head to Attend The president of the alumni associa- tion, Dr. John M. Lee, of Rochester, New York, is expected to attend to- day's meeting. Several more promin-, ent members of the alumni are also expected, among them Dr. Mabel Dixie, of Fremont, Ohio, secretary of the or- ganization, and Dr. . E. Westfall, of Ypsilanti. Members of the facult of the Hom- oeopathic school manifested interest in the outcome of the meeting, but state that tley have pracically no knowl- edge of the probable results, or of the character of the defense which will be offered for the Homoeopathic school.

The contest closes at 6 o'clock Saturday night, Dec. 10, 1921. A FEW SUGGESTIONS 1. A scenario is the description -of the action of a story in its proper order, but not necessarily di- vided into scenes of giving the detailed action. 2. Don't forget that the heart and soul of the scenario is its story. That is the great thing, the essential thing, and the all important thing about the scenario. If the story is a fascinating thing of heart-interest, clean romance, adventure or mystery, then your scenaro is good at heart. 3. Stories of a dramatic type are desired. Drama makes a more definite appeal and is easier to por- tray than comedy or farcial comedy. 4. Avoid "slap-stick" and gross comedy situations. 5. Avoid sex themes or situations developed on the worn-out subject of the "eternal triangle." 6. Remember that language cannot be photo- graphed, therefore avoid lengthy description. The story must be one of action, one which may be vis- ualized. 7. Portray Sour characters concisely and at all times be consistent in the development of your theme. 8. It is suggested that the story be based on some plot which revolves around the University. Remember this contest is open to all students of the Univer- sity with the exceptions of the "Michigan Daily" Editorial and Business Staffs. - - - ., A I I- NOTE:-Any students who are considering submitting scenarios and who desire any further infor- mation can interview the producing company's representative at the publications reading room, second floor of the Press Building, from 2 to 4 o'clock any day except Saturday. i i.
