MERELY SLUSH
Expenditures of the three major
parties in the presidential campaign
will be thoroughly investigated, be-
ginning today, by a Senate commit-
tee headed by Senator Borah, meeting
in Chicago. The primary object of the
meeting it is understool is to investi-
gate the charges of Senator LaFollette
that the Republican party is raising a
"slush fund" of huge proportions for
use in states of which they are doubt-
ful.
be aware of the consequences of this
law.
We Americans are supposed to tol-
erate the religious beliefs of others.
And to those who believe that religion
is an inherent principle of education,
that it cannot be handed out in so
many hunks to children "over the
week-end," this amendment, if passed,
will be an intolerable infringement
on their rights.

THE SECOND GUN
Discussion of the academic require-
ments for appointment and the pro-
motion of members of the faculty oc-
cupied the time of the Deans in their
regular meeting with the President
Thursday morning. Whether or not
this had any bearing on the volume
of miscellaneous appointments last
year which aroused so much indig-
nation among older members of the
faculty is' hard to say. It is to be
hoped that the discussion was an in--
dication of future policy, that it is the
"second gun" in President Burton's
-amp aign for a higher type of edu-
cator.
The securing of this higher type
will necessitate three phases of ac-
tivity on the part of the administra-
lion: first the salaries of the dis-
tLinguished members of the faculty
nust be increased so as to be pro-
portionate with the value of their
cervices; second, more men of dis-
.inct scholarly achievements must be
added to the personnel of the teach-
ng staff; and last and probably most
mportant, the title of professor at
he University of Michigan must repre-
sent something definite, must be giv-
)nly when the candidate shall have
roved himself worthy of the distin-
Whether or not there is any sensa-
tional expose the investigation is
worthwhile since it will keep before,
the politicians of the country the
feelings of many people concerning
the use of unnecessarily large amounts
of money to spread their propoganda.J
A repetition of such affairs as the
Newberry scandal of a few years ago
will be avoided.
In all of the excitement there is an
element of humor. Each party with
much seriousness accuses the other
of corrupt practices only to be met
with a similar accusation. Senator La-
Follette had hardly finished his
"slush fund" talk when Thomas V.
O'Connor, chairman of the shipping
board and head of the Longshoreman's
union for many years, made the
equally astonishing statement that a
large amount of money has been sent
from Russia through Mexico to streng-
then the cause of the Independent
candidates. There probably is little or
no truth in either allegation-they
?.re simply a part of the mud-slinging
tactics which have come to character-
ize American politics in the past few
years.
Senator Borah's committee from the
Senate will in all probability do little
but investigate. There can be little
expectation that the receipts and ex-
penditures of any party have run be-
yond the limit usually set in such
campaigns. Even if they have, it will
be difficult to detect. The meeting and
investigation must be principally of
worth to the nation in as much as it
will curb the various candidates' pro-
pensity for poorly founded statements,
slandering the opposition-

REPLY TO AN AGGRIEVED
ALUMNUS
To the Editor:
I have before me an open communi-
cation from an aggrieved alumnus. I
trustthatt miyreply is of less length
and more to the point. It appears, dis-
regarding family history, that he
failed to procure tickets to the Wis-
consin game, not only for himself but
for his friends. Considering that he is
a graduate of two great universities,
it might be assumed that he would
have sufficient intelligence to ask
for the least number of tickets he
could comfortably get away with, in-
stead of supplying all his friends.
The basic weakness in his argu-
ment appears to lie in failure to as-
certain the facts. His allegation, that
only 500 seats had been reserved for
the Wisconsin game has no basis. Our
agrrieved alumnus might be interest-
ed in the facts. There were available
42,642 seats. Of this number 17,909
were allotted to Michigan alumni; 17,
909 to the students; 2,323 to the
President's party, players, M club, and
in complimentary tickets, 2,000 to the
faculty; 2,500 were assigned to Wis-
consin in accordance with their of-
ficial request of July 16, 1924. Wis-
consin disposed of 2,000 tickets to
their alumni leaving only 500 for the
student body. On September 22 they
requested 1,000 more tickets. This re-
quest came 18 days after the alumni
allotment had been sold out at Ann I
Arbor. Had Wisconsin asked and as-
sured Michigan of the need for 10,000
tickets, I do not doubt that their re-
quest would have been granted.
The aggrieved alumnus having fail-j
ed to secure tickets through the pro-
per channels, tried all the "back-
doors." Enraged by his complete fail-
ure lie wrote an abusive letter con-
demning us to eternal perdition, ap-
parently in the hope of easing his
injured feelings. Thereby showing his
ability to "confuse reiteration and
abuse, with argument and proof."
--Charles Lewis, '27E.
X-RAY THE AMENDMENT
In the article, "The Little Red
School House" printed in The Michi-
gan Daily of October 16th, a plea
was put to the voters to consider care-
fully the school amendment this fall.
The plea, by coincidence, was appro-
priately followed by two lines at the

And having some 1 like Nick Al-1

such treatment from a baby who of

About two weeks ago we composed
a book-review for Caligula, who is
running the literary page in the Sun-
day second section. The book was
one on How to Win At Ma Jong-a
tgame of which we know nothing, and1
which we have long detested. The re-
view was to be considered as a tre-
kAmendous personal favor to Caligula,
and in return for it he was to knock
off a contribution for this department.
That was two weeks ago. Since then
we have seen Caligula on the average
AND NEXT WEDNESDAY
The Players Club will start its new
season October 22, in Sarah Caswell
Angell Hall at eight o'clock, or there-
abouts-for nothing seems to start
on time in that place-with a produc-
tion of Shaw's "How He Lied To Her
Husband" and Ben Hecht's "The Hero
of Santa Maria."
The cast for "The Hero of Santa
Maria" will include John Cook as
Maty Fisher, Earl Fingerle as Toady.
Geraldine Uris as Elmira Fisher, Mon-
roe Lippman as the Uncle, and Harry1
Johnson, V. Doll, Lelia Ward, and
Alice Vliet as the townspeople, some-
times called the mob more or less
off-stage.
In the Shaw comedy, that perfect,
devastating satire on Mr. Shaw, the
sex triangle, and she-devil imitations
of Candida, F. F. Silver will play Mr.
Bompas, Irvin Zeman will be Henry
Apjohn-eighteen ,and virgin-and;
Mina Miller, who was so excellent in
the Comedy Club program Wednesday
night, will have the role of Mrs.
Aurora Bompas with her galloping
case of Vogue-itis.
Special attention is being given to
the settings, now under construction
by the Player's Workshop. The one,
a fashionable London drawing-room,
will be formed of two decorative col-
umns, orange, silver, black and blue,
on either side of the stage with a
lone mahagony writing desk in the
center, and the whole masked by non-
committal black curtains.
The other scene, a small-town Elm
Street parlor, will be piled with every
kind of bourgeois clutter-horse-hair
chairs, wax flowers, still-life pictures
of dead fowl and fish, a hanging kero-
sene lamp, a towering what-not-and
filled on either side with two impos-
sible wall-paper flats.

A BLUE-MADE AGONY
There is coming next week to De-~
troit, at the New-Detroit, a musical
comedy better, very probably, than
anything of its kind you have seen
before: the negro revue, "RuMnnin'
Wild."
Last year I was lucky enough to
see the production at a midnight per-
formance in New York city-such a
recommendation, to mean anything,
must be personal-and with all solemn-
nity the performance was marvellous,
nothing less than sublime. In com-
parison with such rivals as the supid,
boring Ziegfield Follies, or the even
duller Scandals, "Runnin'Wild" is so
far superior as to be ridiculous.
Its virtue lies in its spontaneous
speed: it fairly makes one dizzy; there
are some dozen honestly clever come-
dians, the singing is pure, intoxicating
jazz, and the dancing makes everyone
burst unconsciously into applause. No
one, very truly, can kick and clog, yell
and sob as a negro, once he is fully
drunk with his own inborn love of
rhythm.
In New York it ran for' months--
with a reason: some may dislike clap-
trap, leaden musical "shows," but no
one can be immune to the irresistible,
primitive sophistry that splashes
through this negroid can-can.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS
PICTURE!
The audience as it respectively as-
sembled at the Comedy Club plays
was a little more than startled,
shocked rather, to find that all the
seats, hard as they were, had been
removed in favor of that terrific type
of camp stool they use at funerals
and Women's Club card-and-MahJong
parties.
In all justice this audience should
be told purpose of such an uncomfort-
able step. Guess, if you can: it was
in order that the ATHLETIC DANC-
ING classes might have fuller
quarters.. . .?
The situation is really unthinkable;
it is not only next to impossible to

Once upon a time there was a very
beautiful co-educational girl who lived
on the campus of this great University.
She was very popular.
The fir:st two aspects of the situa-
