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.

KELLAR 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- A good slogan for Illinois motorers, "The longest way 'round the towns- is the cheapest way home.

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 EA D ROLLS SAKR.EL-B .R Underneath this paragraph a ratherr incoherent communique will be found,J which if you can understand you are a better man than we.

Elsworth Maihaffy. 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.. . .?
