THE DRIVE OPENS Organizations the size of the Mich- igan Union, operating a building as pretentiohs at its home on State street, covering an extensive program in varied fields of student activity, cannot operate without funds. In or- der to obtain the necessary money, the Union annually conducts a life membership drive, giving, in return for the money it receives countless privileges after graduation to the purchaser. Today 40 teams, composed of more than 100 students, will open a three day campaign to obtain 1,400 new life members of the Union. They will sacrifice prjacticaLy all their time outside the classroom during that period for the good of the Union. They receive no pay; they are given no commission on the memberships they sell. Their reward is slight in comparison with the effort it is neces- sary to put forth if the desired .quota is to be reached. They are all stu- dents of the University and not paid solcitors of the book agent variety, and consequently are deserving of every consideration that the campus can show them during the drive.- A life membership in the Union is not a gift to that organization; it is a sound business proposition. It will bring rich returns in the years after the purchaser graduates from the University, It means first choice of a room at the Union when the life mem- ber returns to Ann Arbor. It means the use of the building during football week-ends when that privilege, ac- corded to the undergraduate student freely, is revoked. It means better seats at the Union opera when it plays in the home town of the life member during the Christmas vacation of future years. It gives the purchaser the right to wear the maize and blue "M" pin that denotes the Union and inarks him as a Michigan man wher- ever he may be. A life membership is not a charitable donation andi should not be considered as such. 1 Put even disregarding the advan- tages of the future, the student is at1 present enjoying the privileges of the Union free of charge, except for ai slight sum added to his tuition. Is1 not the use of the Union building, the possession of a beautiful Universityc home in which to study, read, swim, play pool, billiards, or partake inI other recreation worth anything? A CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTION To the Editor: Of the many original ideas tha President Little has thrown out it his public addresses, one of the mos valuable and pertinent has thus far been overlooked or at any rate ha not received the attention it deserves I refer to his suggestion that the money taken in at football games be divided between athletics and re search. That such a division of the spoils would instantly bring about a new alignment of interests on the campus is apparent to anyone who has studied the present situatio carefully. The chief argument, for example, against the enlargement o the stadium is that it would thius still further into the background th already diminished interest in pure science and research; but if for every dollar that went into the athletic treasury a dollar went into the budget of the Graduate School, this argument would lose its validity. Athletics am research would find themselves un- expectedly joining hands,. and every move to enhance the prosperity of on would automatically enhance thc prosperity of the other. Athletics would thus become a contributor t the highest of educational interests and a stadium that would seat not only all students, faculty, and alumni, but the entire population of Ann Ar- bor as well, would appeal to high- brows and lowbrows alike. The simplicity of the plan is a strong point in its favor. It requires- no additional office furniture, no re- organization, no new /method of bookkeeping. All that is necessary is for the Athletic association to di- vide equally all gate receipts, the di- vision to be postponed, of course, until the new stadium is completed and the increased income assured. Can we not drop this fruitless, em- bittering quarrel over squatters' rights and begin to think of te en- larged stadium in terms of physical and intellectual profit-sharing? I would suggest that the proper start- ing point for such a movement is the University Research club-potentially one of the most powerful and influen- tial organizations on the campus, though at present, I imagine, not a household word with the rooters or even the members of the team. -Alumnus. WORDS-TO WHAT AVAIL What amazing lack of appreciation prevails upon our intellectualistic campus! In vain have I waited for someone to write of the bouquets of rare and colorful flowers, from the hot-houses of rhetoric, which one may gather at leisure from the musical and dramatic criticisms in The Daily. It is an intensely fascinating pastime, plucking by their frail stems these iridescent hybrids and monsters of the horticulturists of rhetoric. What irrepressible cries of delight they in- cite. Surely only a stolid soul could remain cold before Mr. Henderson's 'review' of Madame Schumann-Heink in Sunday's Daily; beyond cavil, a flower rarer than the selenicerius and more redolent than blooming sweet- clover. It is such effervescent rapture that I write this pale and mute encomium. Madame Schumann-Heink herself was EFFIE SNORP ARRIVES TO TAKE UP STUDIES hERE. .IS NO RELATION TO ZILCH Tiny 37 Pound Maid, Fresh From Old Homestead Says Michigan Is Swell Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 34, 1925.- Miss Effie Snorp, of Cirle Center, Michigan, has finally matriculated as a freshman woman after twenty years of diligent effort. Miss Snorp will take up her residence in the tower room of Newberry hall, formerly used as a class room, now as a supposed object d'art. "I certainly do," said Miss Snorp, when asked a question. She also be- lieves that women should be allowed t to smoke all they want. "The men do, and they seem to sur- vive in large numbers on this camp- us," she is quoted as saying, "So I don't see why the girls shouldn't." It was agreed that should the girls smoke freely on this campus, they would probably increase in number, but it was pointed out that was not the primary purpose of the authori- ties here. "Then what is?" she asked, silence all further discussion. Miss Snorp, in spite of the fact that she weighs 357 pounds is very modest about her achievements. She pointed out that since her childhood she had always wanted to do big things. "Now I seem to do them every time I walk" she concluded. She would make no further statements. * * * Al says: "After all the time Ohio took to talk things over, Saturday it is plain why they call it the Confer- ence." * * * JUSTICE In the name of Dean Joseph Zilch's memory, we hereby register a com- plaint against the producers of a cer- tain movie now being shown at a lo- cal theater. In the course of the film one of the characters shows another a clipping from a newspaper in which a man is arraigned for beating his wife. The lead of the story says "Mrs. Minnie Zilch, of 123 Mott Avenue, brought charges before Justice Schnieflimle.." Mrs. Zilch, of course, is all worked up about the situation, and says she is going to sue the company. Dean Zilch, she says, could not have possi- bly beaten his wife, or otherwise mis- treated her, for she had received a legal divorce from him in 1902 on the grounds of nonsupport and has been married about three times since. It is grossly unjust, we believe, to say such things about the dead, par- ticularly when they cannot defend themselves. It is, it must be, obvious to our readers that Joe could not have done such things, even though he probably wanted to many times be- fore the divorce. We think that the least the motion picture people can do is to apologize, publicly and formal for this slander, which certainly has no shred of truth in it. THE FACULTY CONCERT A review, by Robert Ramsay. The University Symphony orches- tra, under the direction of Samuel' Lockwood, and Albert Lockwood, pianist of the School of Music com- bined in the second of the Faculty series of Sunday afternoon concerts. The appearance of Mr. Lockwood at the piano, while always interesting, was doubly significant in that it marks his firstsappearance here since his return from Europe where he studied and concertized extensively. His playing is marked by a clarity of tone and virility of expression that is eminently satisfactory. Yesterday he played a Concerto in F Major by Henselt with the orchestra. His play- ing was obscured by an over insistent accompaniment, the inevitable conse- quence of playing with an amateur I orchestra, but even that could not mar . the pleasure derived from Mr. Lockwood's work which was charac. terized as always by a scholarly, yet musicianly approach. Scholar enough not to lose himself in maudlin senti- ment, musician enough not to lose sight of his first obligation-music, technician enough to please the most ?xacting, and artist enough to allow his own fine work to be blended into the less perfect accompaniment, Mr. Lockwood was more satisfactory than at any other time that we have heard him-except once when he played with Mrs. Okleburg, a Stravinsky number which seemed to us to ap- proach anything that more famous persons could do. The orchestra is far better this year than it has been for a long time. Its weakest spot has always been in the wind department, a difficulty easy to understand but not so easy to over- look. This year that difficulty, while not obviated has been largely over- come and the orchestra presents a really fine ensemble under the intel- ligent direction of Mr. Samuel Lock- wood. * * * MIMES All men interested in trying out for Mimes activities during the remainder of the year are requested to register at the Mimes theater tomorrow and Thursday afternoon from 4:00 to 5:30 o'clock. Those trained in scenic and costume design, as well as acting, are also asked to leave their names with the committee. The productions following the tour of the Opera-and it is less than three weeks, by the way, before "Tam- bourine" opens at the Whitney thea- ter-will include an all-campus vau- deville tournament, the first perform- ance in America of Lovberg's "Beg- garman," translated by Prof. O. J. Campbell of the English department from the Danish, Eugene O'Neill's cycle of sea-plays, "S. S. Glencairn," repetition of W. S. Gilbert's "Engag- ed," and an intimate revue patterned after "The Grand Street Follies." THE ORGAN RECITAL Owing to the absence of Palmer Christian from the city on a concert tour there will be no Organ Recital tomorrow afternoon in Hill auditori- um. The next concert will be given Wednesday, November 25. * * u COMEDY CLUB At its meeting in University hall yesterday afternoon the members of Comedy Club decided, due to lack of sufficient time, to postpone the pro- duction of Colin Campbell Clements' "The Beginner" unit a later date, and to substitute as the annual January program George Bernard Shaw's famuos farce, "The Great Catherine." The play will be under the direction of Phyllis Loughton, and will be pre- sented January 12 and 13 in the Mimes theater. This change has been made because of the inadequate stage and 'auditorium in Sarah Caswell An- gell hall, where the programs 4have always been given in the past. The cast will include Marguerite Goodman, Mary Lou Miller, Lilliin Bronson and Thomas Denton, with Robert Henderson in the part of Patiomkin, the prime minister. The annual tryouts for Comedy Club were also set for Friday after- noon, November 20, in the auditorium of !Newberry hall at 2:00 o'clock. * * * .MEMO Masques are presenting the third performance of "The Cradle Song" in Sarah Caswell Angell hall this even- XMAKE TELL MAN N'S S BLOCKIE D--R III, NEW fATS-I ii EST Save a Dollar or NTore at the FACTORY HAvT STOIR 617 Packard Street.
