You know-how they This year, more even than last, the all-campus election will mean a de- cided expression of undergradute opinion. The Student council has worked for one year under its par- tially complete new constitution with very definite results to those .who..havei watched its march. The officers of the council have felt the necessity for a wider jurisdiction in many matfei's, especially in those dealing with dis- ciplinary powers. The officers and members of the council are repre- senting the students, they are endeav- oring to carry out what they believe to be the desires of the undergraduate body. The true expression of student opinion then must be evidenced in the all-campus vote on election day. The Union, also, merits the atten- tion of the voters in order that the best administrators may be selected to carry on the work for the next school year. Each year candidates for the student ofilces on the Union are selected by the Union nominating committe from the undergraduate body. A fair and square effort is made to include in these nominations only the men, who, through their work in the Union, have evinced the proper interest and exe- cutive ability which will carry theI work on in the best possible manner. However, in order that all members of the Union~ may be allowed an equal opportunity, nominations are placed on the ballost by, petition.. ery often this agent of democratic government of the student club, the petition, is gravely misused by the und'ergrad- uates themselves. Students must re- alize that in signing a petition they are committing themselves to an af- firmation that the man named in pe- tition is a worthy man to represent them in the executive place for which field ;if he wishes, a student would have no basis of complaint. This is the system that has been used at California, Harvard and sev-." eral other schools for many years and has been found the most workable yet tried out. At the former school the men and women each have a cheer- ing section. Usually the men's block aggregates 3,000 students. There is no reason why Michigan could notI equal this. Such a group of. cheerers, if they are well drilled in the yells and songs should be an inspiration to not only the team fighting on the field but to returning alumni and outsid- ers as well. The children rolled eggs on the White House lawn during the Easter *holidays; and Congressmen roll logs all over the country the rest of the year. Our slogan for Safety First Week- An automobile and a train cannot oc- cupy the same crossing at the same time.

I know this from the, opinions of such world-fam- ous critics as Gordon Craig, Bernarl Shaw, Kenneth Macgowan, and Shel- don Cheney, whose'judgement thee is every reason to respect, and be- cause I have seen them personally in New York this winter In Tcherov's "Uncle Vanya." Their work is remarkable, to begin with, because every one of the sixty- four actors are artists in every sense I of the word, trained through long years 'of experience in the most min- ute subtleties of their craft. Certain of their members, such as Ivan Mosk- vin, Olga Tarasova, Madame Knipper- Tchekhova, and the director, Constan- tin Stanislavsky, himself, are inspired genuises, as well, recognized every- where as not only the greatest actors in Russia but among the greatest in the world. Their chief success ,-ts been found- ed on their skill ii realistic drama. which raises the m1 t sordid, gruel- ling tragedy to the heights of inspir-d idealism. It is rather dAlcult to cx- plain this art in that our concejtion of realism stops when the local Bel- ascos have placed seven hundred pieces of properties on the stage and called it a day. These players, on the other hand, see through this surface to the peculiarly exalted pathos of the everyday humdrum of the world and ' end with a picture as moving and wonderful as it is startling. Added to this, of course, there is their remarkable technical skill in ensemble and make-up, which is so perfectly worked out that every role down to the minor supers are por- trayed with the utmost finish and skill. Finally, they have. the virtues of the' repertory system raised to such a high plane that every member of the company is able to assume at a mo- ment's notice practically every char- acter in the repertoire. As an illus- tration, it is actually true that the actors are not informed until the af- ternoon what part they will play in. the evening-a feat, I am sure, that would be impossible for any other organization this side of theatrical paradise. As an epilogue, rhowever, it is only fair to warn you that the ,settings of the Moscow Art Theater Players are are simply awful, scarcely worthy, in fact, of a modest Bowery burlesque. show.
