Whether the nation is at Troy, and are paying tribute to the ready for such a step is something for institution which fathered scientific, the voters to decide. education in America. All the major The thing in his program which has colleges and universities of the nation raised, probably, the most objection is his proposal to render void a de- cisicn of the Supreme Court if Con- gress repasses a measure deemed un-I constitutional by that body. A lookj at the past work of the SupremeI Court in nullifying innumerable fool- ish and ill-advised laws has convinced the vast majority of people that it is a very essential part of our govern- mental system. To be sure, the British system has no court having functions similar to our Supreme court; there, is no final tribunal in England to pass upon the constitutionality of acts passed by the Parliament. And the British government, at least to all ap- pearances has worked effectively for a number of years. Whether it would be advisable to remove the sting from our highest court, however, is an- other matter. The most competent observers do not believe that LaFollette has a very strong chance of being elected. At best he can only command a substantial minority% One outcome of the Presi- dential race, if he should gain a large minority, has been given increasing attention of late. It is this: if LaFol- lette should gain so great a minority that neither the Democratic or the Re- publican tickets could command a clear majority, the election would be thrown into the House of Representa- tives. Here, it is a forgone conclu- sion, all parties would come to a dead- lock; for LaFollette supporters have already a balance of power in that body. In the Senate, which, in the case of a deadlock, elects a vice-president, Charles W. Bryan, Democratic candi- date, would undoubtedly receive the balloti. Then. when inauguration time rolled around and the House had madef no choice, he would automatically be- come President. In other words para- doxically, a strong LaFollette vote may lead to the inauguration of a Dem- ocratic president-a Democrat more- will have their representatives at the Rensselaer centennial. Officials of; scientific organizations and engineer- ing societies throughout the world will be present. Michigan, with its technical school as the first state-sup- ported off-spring of Rensselaer, willI follow with particular interest the ceremonies with which this centennial day is observed. PROFESSOR-HOW COULD YOU? There are few more pathetic sights than that of a freshman who alights from the train which has brought him from familiar sights and faces into the region of terrifying and heart- rending, confusion and strangeness, typical of the college town of which Ann Arbor is a protoype. Yet the worst feature of this situation is that is arouses no pity from the calloused and sophisticated sophomores and up- perclassmen, or from the indifferent and superior professors his com- patriots in the quest for knowledge. Usually' it rains, at least for a week. More often than not his trunk fails to arrive and there is trouble in get- ting a room. Home and mother seem far away-alas, too far. Then comes registration with its endless round of writing his name and adress on mis- cellaneous cards, with its continuous controversy concerning a suitable pro- gram, with a day spent in comparative nakedness on the track of Waterman gymnasium. In this time the freshman lays bare his soul and body, and emerges-weary, yea, but triumphant.' All of this is hard enough to take, especially if there is no one to aid him in arranging matters. But the cli- max comes when it is necessary be- cause of the size of certain lecture sections and discussions to change that monumental work of combined art and cursing-his program. Just when the point of adaption and sat- uration seems to have been reached MU S IC AND DRAMA THE WITMAN TICKETS 1 Bona-fide news comes from the book stores selling the tickets to the Paul Whiteman concert Tuesday eve- ning that practically all seats in the house are sold excepting those in the second balcony. There can be no moral to the story, because the com- mittee has constantly and insistently been urging everyone to get their tick- ets early to avoid the inevitable last- minute rush. The only remedy now is to be clever enough to get tickets atall. * * * THE PLAYER'S CLUBI Dates for the four productions of The Player's Club during the year have been assigned by the Committee on Dramatics--the complete mathema- tical list of attractions will be re- leased in a few days--and a call for tryouts has been issued for their first two programs. The initial bill will include Shaw's "How He Lied To Her Husband" and Ben Hecht's "The Hero of Santa Maria," one a sophisticated farce of the author's typical unmorality, the other a biting satire of typical Amer- ican boobosity. Both are brilliant and distinguished gdnre splays, and as such deserve the best talent on the campus to interpret them. The second bill will consist of Dun- sany's "A Night at an Inn," one of the finest,:if not the finest, melodramas ever written, while the companion play, possibly 'ne of Schnitzler's "Af- fairs of Anatol," has not been finally selectee. The Shaw play an be ,found at the library in the Brentano edition of his works containing "The Man of Des- tiny;" "The Hera if Santa Maria" is yin Frank Shay's "Twenty Contem- porary One-Act Plays, 1921-22;" and "A Night at an Inn" is published in Dunsany "Plays of Gods and Men." If it is not too childish, the commit- tee suggests that 'the pieces be read before Tuesday afternoon, the day- we forgot tosay it--that the casts are to be selected. i a ._...r .._. ._._.._.._ -.w .._. ...._.,... . .
