A A M THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1925 Night Editor-NORMAN R. THATL A STAR THERE WAS An unlucky star is shining over thei heads of Michigan alumni with aspira- tion for prominence in national poli- tics. Especially does this evil light appear to be casting its glea. oni those who are chosen to fill cabinet positions. When Harding first picked his body of department heads it was Michigan's boast that there were more of her' graduates included in the list than any other college or university in the country. But this bombast gradually died away into silence before the hur- ricane of Teapot Dome investigations. Harry Daugherty, erstwhile attorney- general, proved to be much involved in the scandal and was forced to re- si.gn from his office after vigorous protestations of innocence. Edwin Denby also became entangled in the dubious net of political maneuvers, the result being his retirement from public life. All of this mixup was; very complicated, even the investiga-; tors not being sure just who was guilty and who was not. To the im- partial observer, however, it appears certain that the former Secretary of the Navy at least had the best of mo- tives even though his may have been a mistaken judgment. But the story does not end here. Another Michigan man was appointed to the position of Attorney General. A few weeks ago the University chest expanded a few inches when it wasJ announced . that one of her sons, Charles Beecher Warren of Detroit, had . been, appointed to that position by President Coolidge. But even this proved to toe premature.. There were vague rumblings about his associa- tion as counsel with the sugar ;trust,, (whatever that may be) and this was used as a pretext for the opposition which developed. There is no doubt that Mr. Warren's qualifications for. the position were not the cause of the deadlock-it was purely and simply petty politics by a few who objected to the way President Coolidge went about his appointments to the cabinet, --the fatal star again. But Michigan need not hide her face. Mr. Warren's career has been a distinguished one, andl he may yet be made attorney general if the Presi- dent decides to fight it out. Two other alumni, Dr. Hubert Work and Harry New, still retain their cabinet port- folios. Edwin Denby's name is be- yond reproach. He was merely the victim of a bad combination of cir- cumstances. These are all men of whom we may be proud despite their1 luck. Perhaps one of these days that star will cease shining and then- watch the cabinet.

The dancing and general chorus work of "Castles in Spain" the im- pending production which the JIunior women will present for the entertain- ( R1 ment of the Seniors next Tuesday at the Whitney, is far above last year's show, at least. The routines, which have been wom ked out by a committe F C of the women are remarkable for their effectiveness and the manner of ex- ecution. It is diflicuilt to elaborateAKT without giving away state secrets, but ( there is at least one dance in the first act which will be a distinct surprise to those who attend the performance HATS - HATS - anticipating the traditional goose steps and clock formations. Undoubtedly some of the credit be- longs to the people who are responsi- ble for the music, for it is difficult to conceive of them using this modern, fast, type of dancing with most of the past songs. The Spanish coloring of! the last half of the play has given a number of opportunities for somewhat unique numbers. The specialty fea- tures in the second act, made a very decided impression, and chorus num- bers are gracefully done. There is so much that goes to make up a good chorus number that it is impossible to decide just why they are better this year, but we would guess that it is partly Amy Loomis, partly the cos-f tumes, and mostly the "Chorines" themselves. What seems most remarkable is that T h e m o d e r n although the dances call for many salesman uses more difficult steps, they are done with a uniformness which ought to con- Long Distance to I vince all the dubious that the reason keen his out-of- ,.. ,..... . .r.
