It typifies excel- lently, the spirit of the now ordinarily accepted air-mail pilot, "Nor snow, nor wind, nor rain, nor night, Can stop the pilot in his flight." It is the spirit that has made our aviation progress what it is today, what it will always be as long as the spirit con- tinues. TRADITION One evidence that the University ofI today has not become merely a train- ing school for the professions, ,giving a "practical education" only, is seen in the Senior Sing today. This rever- ed tradition, this memory of the days when the University was young,, still remains. But much of its popularity has been lost in the past few -years. Seniors have not taken the enthufsia9-'a tic interest in it that they once did; attendance has dropped off consider-, ably in the past year or so. ,4 It is expected that this year will show a renewal of interest in this beautiful custom. Seniors are coming tb the end of their college road. What could be more enjoyable than to singG those college songs-the songs thatl bring memories of the whole four years of funs and fellowship here? Al- though seniors will do the singing to- night, the echo will be the voices of the thousands of graduates who are back in "dear Ann Arbor town," in memories, enacting over again the Seniors Sings of their days.. OUTSIDE THE LABORATORY For years, the laboratory has been regarded as the abode of theresearch expert and as the training school for the embryo scientist or engineering student. With the development of aeronautics, however, experimentation is being carried into a new, realm of research, namely, the air. Deliberate I demonstration of this change was re- cently made when three aeronautical engineering students, accompanied by a faculty expert, studied air conditions for several hours while navigating a balloon, The observations taken on the trip, which was conducted entirely at student expense, served to verify the theories and principles learned from the textbook and in the quiz sec- I tion. Because of the value of this experi- ence in the aeronautical engineering profession, equal opportunity for its realization should be extended to every student in the department. To. attain that end, recognition of this new means of education by- the Uni. versity should follow the success of the venture just completed, and pro- visions should be made for entrance into a new field of experiment., EDITORIAL COMMENT I TgASED' RLLS &r SWIG JOUOTL For the benefit of those who parad- ed yesterday afternoon in caps and gowns but seemed to be either too happy or too bewildered, due to in- ternal influences, to realize what it was all about, we wish to state that. it was Swing Out. The significance of this event, aside from the fact that it is a tradition, is obscure as far as we know. It is our opinion that it is the final blow to the also traditional dignity of the seniors. If there were a large nmirror placed directly in front of the doors of Hill auditorium, it is our, opinion that there would be no par- ade after. the convopation. The car and gown, was never designed to en- hance masculine or feminine beauty. On the contrary it was invented by a class of people with whom beauty was a decided handicap. Perhaps the most remarkable fea- ture of a SwingOut is the fact that although the band keeps playing rhythmically and lustily during the entire march no two paraders are ever in step or in time with the music or each other. Were the Cadet corp at West Point to attempt such a' feat, they would find it entirely impossible, Sone where in the ranks there would be 'a man in step with the music or his neighbor. This, of course shows the individuality of the modern college education. We were hard at work Monday when a lady appeared, dragging with her her pride and joy. They were from. Soo, wherever that may be. Not being a native of this part of the country, we couldn't say. Anyway,' the young hopeful has been achieving no small amount of fame and earning eight. dollars a week writing "articles" (what kind we do not know) for his home town newspaper. Did we, she wondered, pay outsid- ers for articles? "Bless you, lady," we replied, "They don't even pay in- siders for articles." "Then," she re- sponded, we will take our product eleswhere." Do, we said, not to be outdone in generosity. Another liter- ary light's life blighted because The Daily wouldn't print his articles--and pay for them. YIFNlF.

On hisI one day a year, the student body is given the opportunity of dic- r (Editor's Note: The following Mu- sic and Drama column has been writ- ten and edited by Williani Lucas.) - ' "SAINT JOXN" The impending performance of Ber- nard Shaw's "Saint Joan" at the Whit- ney Theatre Friday evening should serve to introduce a 'new Shaw to those of us who have been entertainedI by his inimitable comedies, but missed the ponderous "Back to Methuselah. In "Saint Joan' Shaw has turned from prophecy to history, and from speculation to faith. His history and facts are an extraordinary blending of actuality and interpretation, of his- toric detail, and of historic detail turned insid out. It is a different Shaw, not in external forn, for that is eminently characteristic of the author, but for the reverence, almost devoutness, with which the'subject is handled. Shaw has determined it a "chron- icle play". But it is somethipg more I than that. The depth of Shaw's genius is unmistakable. "Saint Joan" is a play deeply and sincerely felt. With- out the exalting trial scene, a symbol of the eternal trial and condemnation of the eternal free and revolutionary 'spirit before the judgment bar of false order-without that, perhaps-it might sink into a merechronicle play. Then, too, to Shaw, Joan was a symbol and a vision, the' incarnate spirit of the revolution, of all saviours, and martyrs, call them what you will. The play is at times an exasperating composition; now rising to the leval of historical tragedy, now hovering on - the edge of burlesque; the strangest possible compound of the modern and the medieval, of convinc- ing characterization, and audacious carricature; of fifteenth century per- sonages who think and speak in terms of the twentieth, and most of them the mouthpieces for the theories and prejudices of Bernard Shaw. Like "Back to Methuselah" it is overly verbose, aid- certain of its ex cess lines are pretty bad. For in- stance; "Are yo'-t1n Englishman?" "No a Gentleman"; which anyone wil agree is pretty trite. But its faults are the habitual faults of its author, and "Saint Joan" remains one of the most interesting and most important contributions to the Modern Theatre. WHAT PRICE PROGRESS! In the regular page advertizement which appears in the May number of the "Michigan Alumnus" there is on exhibition a peculiar invention pur- porting to be a survey of campus dramatics. Evidently it is nota joke, but a serious report. We learn that plays are frequently given in Greek and Latin-yes right here on this campus in the present century-and also in French, Spanish, and German. (It does not include the Scandinavian.) These mind you are the representa- tive productions of "student organiza- tions," the output of extra curicular dramatic activity. Then, too, we are informed, plays are sometimes even produced in the English language, but these are fostered by the "classes jn d'ramatic reading", a mysterious agency, perhaps a pseudonym for the talentetd Play Production Classes, and are not indulged in by the average student.. After the recent dramatic season in the Mimes Theatre this is all rather inexcusable. Shaw, O'Neill, Gilbert, Jesse Lynch Williams, represented by a'. Pulitzer Prize Play, Holberg, an imposing array, if names mean any- thing. Best of all these plays were performed in a manner approaching professional excellence, and the fame of the Mime Theatre has travelled. Yet not a word in the article in ques- tion which so much as suggested aI dramatic enterprise other than the type one might expect to find in any well regulated Young Ladies Semi- nary. To cap the climax a woozy picture, resembling a road company' setting for "Uncle Tom's Cabin", heads the page, with the following inscrip- tion: "The Comedy Club in 'Bunty Pulls the Strings', March 9, 1921." The article is possibly lifted from an "Alumnus" of years past. But what price progress, may we ask'? Frequent productions in Greek and Latin' Excuse our hilarity!
