LET THERE BE LIGHT
Satan has laid his "clutches" on
still another educational institution,
namely Kalamazoo college, oldest of
its kind in the state of Michigan, and
we cn eopect'stil-another avalanche
of publicity with its charges and
counter-charges to descend. A Grand
Rapids pastor, leader among ortho-
dox Baptists, has made an attack upon
the subjugation by modernistic Influ-
ences" of the Baptist denominational
school of Michigan.
The charges themselves-very spe-
cific-are rather interesting in this
day. The pastor said that it is com-
mon knowledge that dances have been
sponsored by the college faculty for
the students, that destructive criticism
of the bible and organic evolution
are taught in the school. He bewail-
ed the fact that fond mothers and
fathers have been sending their off-
spring to such "an institution in the
belief that they would return to them
ready to carry on the church work
without knowing that they would
come back with their faith gone and
possessed of very low moral stand-
ards. It is indeed a shrewd way that
the devil's men have of undermining
the religious principles of the young
under the guise of science.
Slightly different in comparison
were the statements of Dr. Albert
Parker Fitch at the first convocation
of the year. The radical Dr. Fitch
advocated the policy of leaving to the
youth of the country the problem of
its own religion, and even went so
far as to proclaim the system a hope-
lessly tangled mess, although one
which forms a solid and safe enough
basis upon which to build. The truth
of his words is self-evident. It is
this generation now in the process
of molding which will soon take its
affairs entirely into its own hands.
Its members do not take over-kindly
to a doctrine which holds them to;
precepts long since grown old. They
wi*t to establish for themselves as
they see fit, and probably they shall.
The man from Minnesota would seem
to be correct in saying that the re-
ligion of our fathers rests no more
easily on our shoulders than a group
of eighteenth century furniture in a
Kansas prairie.
Speaking of Kansas prairies, on the
same day that the Grand Rapids pas-
for hurled his accusations at the
neighboring college, Willian Allen
White, famous Emporia editor, sat in
front of his Gazette's scoreboard and
watched over,2,000 fans gasp over the
world series returns, contrary to an,
ed so untiringly to bring speakers of
the highest caliber to Ann Arbor--
men who are gifted with the power
to start their listeners thinking along
new lines. The congregation at the
opening convocation numbered only
1,700.
Perhaps the fact that Dr. Albert
Parker Fitch spoke here only last
May had something to do with the
comparatively small gathering. If
anything, it should have brought even
more students to hear him last Sun-
day. But the average college student
is subjected to a certain amount of
sameness in lecture courses every
week. Possibly many feared some-
thing of this nature last Sunday.
There was no call for that, however-
his recent address here was anything
but similar to that of last May.
Dr. Carl Stafford Patton of the Chi-
cago Theological seminary will be
here Sunday. He received his Ph.D.
degree at Michigan and was pastor
of the First Congregational church
in Ann Arbor for ten years. He is
well known to a number of faculty
members and townspeople although
he left here fifteen years ago. It would
be fitting, indeed, for Dr. Patton to
be received by a well-filled auditori-
um upon his return to the town where
his religious endeavors saw their be-
ginning.
ANOTHER CONFERENCE
One of the principal objections of-
fered to the entrance of the United
States into the World court is that
there now exists no codiefiation of
international law and that the vary-
ing precedents and divergent views
of international jurists is very likely
to end in disputes. However, a seri-
ous attempt to make the codification
of international law a reality is now
being made. A House resolution in-
troduced recently by Representative
Tinkham of Massachusetts, which
would provide for a third Hague con-
ference for this purpose, is now being
seriously considered by administra-
tion officials.
The resolution would have the
President call a world conference to
restate the established rules of inter-
national law, to formulate and agree
upon amendments to the present rules,
to endeavor to reconcile divergent
views and to secure general agree-
ment on questions which have hereto-
fore been disputed, and to consider
the subjects not now regulated but
which should receive immediat con-
sideration, such as the control onar-
cotics. The resolution is in agrenent
with the recommendations ma ,,by
the Advisory Committee of Ji igt's,
assembled by the League of N ions
at The Hague in 1920, of which
Root, former Secretary of State, was
a member.
Although Senator Borah has already
gone on record as favoring the rs I
tion and Secretary Kellogg has Sa
that it would be highly desirable for
the country to cooperate in bringing
about any codification of internatioW1
law though he was. unprepared to sa'
that the time was propitious, it is dif-
ficult to anticipate just what the atti-
tude of Congress will be on the pro-
posed conference. With the World
court question shelved until the re-
convening of Congress, it is to be
wondered whether the codification
conference would becloud the issue of
Worlld court entrance or provide a
stepping stone for its accpetance.
Aside from preliminary fireworks, it
can only be settled definitely when
Congress reconvenes.
By considering the addition of plural
marriages to quick divorces, Mexico
threatens to get the jump on some of
our more progressive cities of marital
fame.

Threatened revolutions seem to be-

SEGREGATED INSTITUTIONS
To The Editor:
Since I- have just left one of the
Eastern Women's colleges mentioned
in "An Alarmist's Viewpoint," I feel
that, after two years there, I under-
stand the situation in them fairly
well.
Thus far I can see no advantages
in a college where the sexes are seg-
regated, and, at the same time, no dis-
advantages.
In the first place, the classes here
are more satisfactory. A narrow point
of view is apt to be the result of edu-
cation in a segregated school. I shall
speak chiefly of women's schools. In
them all of the faculty, with few ex-
ceptions,, who are at all outstanding,I
are women. Everyone recognizes thej
fact that the points of view of the two
men's colleges are asked to withdraw
because of immoral conduct-and hun-
dreds more should be. In one of the
small women's colleges in the East
several women were expelled for im-
morality in one semester; in another
there has been a distressing number
of su'icides and disappearances. In
the so-called conservative colleges
where there is educational segrega-
tion, it is realized that the worst type
of man and the worst type of women
will always come in contact socially.,
In these very places, riotous liquor
parties and orgies occur. Fraternity
parties of the worst type are by no
means limited to co-educational insti-
tutions. The college women take part
in them whether they are held in the
same university or at a man's college
within traveling distance. A girl who
is weak and easily led is, if anything
more apt to go wrong in a women's
college than in a' coeducational uni-
versity. Unfortunately the tendency
in a girls school is to be "man crazy,"
and many girls will disregard moral
principles for the sake of popularity
in a place where men are scarce.
Yes, a woman does develop a "per-
sonality which is impossible in a co-
educational school." That is one of
the curses of women's colleges. Many
of the "henpecked husbands" of the
future are destined to be such because
in college days the women in their
private colleges have acquired that'
objectionable attitude that considers
women by divine concession to be al-
ways right and to be forever worthy
of having their own way. In an age
when good sportsmanship and the
"give and take" attitude Is popular,
why should the men and women of
the country be separated in a way
which makes both sexes expect to run
things absolutely independent of the
other? They should be able to asso-
ciate with each other In all the phases
of college life-not merely the social.
-B. H., '28.
A FRESHMAN SPEAKS
To The Editor:
I read with interest the communi-
cation in The Daily, Oct. 13, from an
alarmist regarding the co-education.
In which he attacks the morales of*
the University. Although I am only
a freshman on the campus, I feel that
Iitieh of this "tommyrot" concerning
the immorality of college students is
'Pere fiction. Before coming to the
1YpFJ, my many friends advised
me against coming, stating that col-
'ge are merely a plant for turning
out drunkards and criminals. I am
g 1. I d not take the advice. For,
'althoigh I have been on the campus
such a short time, I already have
1W _ OT11e foolishness of their state-
ments. The men and women I have
*3'3>%ie campus are the intellects
of young America. I have attended
e e.al churches, and have heard
e ions of God and religion discus-
sed by the students as I have never
heard before. The churches in Ann
Ar r have a larger attendance of
.young people than anywhere I have
evd been.
The Alarmist states that, "When
members of both 'sexes mingle to-
gether, a moral question arises, and
the more they are together the more
serious the question becomes." If this
were true in regards to co-education,
then it would be true of man's great-
est institutions. The church would
be as much a center of wickedness as
colleges are supposed to be. Marriage
itself would be immoral. For here
members of both sexes mingle with
each other in the closest relation-
ship.
The public knows and hears of only
a small minority of the students of the
University-of the idle class who
spring to the front pages of the news-
papers by their wild parties. Of the
majority, the students who are work-
ing and sacrificing to secure an edu-
cation, the general public knows noth-
ing. They know not that the campus
is full of people with a desire to learn,
who haven't time to be as wicked as
they are painted. Enlarge and make
prominent the moral students in any
university and the number will far!
overshadow that of the other group.z
Again, the "Alarmist" thinks that
women are not given a fair chance in
competition with the men. The
women's vote in all elections counts
as much as the .man's. Some of our
biggest achievements here at Michi-
gan are accomplished by women.
When a man has spent four years
or more in close contact with woman,
has seen her face difficulties as he has
faced them, and win, it teaches him to
respeI and admire womanhood. A
man who respects and holds woman
sacred, will not nor cannot do any-
thing to harm her. Women as well as
men are called upon to face life. Man
and woman are called upon to face.
life together. Surely then, they are
better able to do this when they have
learned to understand the opposite
sex, and where is there a better place
j to learn that understanding than the

DRAMA
ELSIE .JANIS
A Review, by Vincent Wall
"Oh boy-and how!" Elsie Janis as
a jazzy lady, slangy and with a low-
down voice that clicks with any audi-
ence: a trick of widening her eyes, a
profile that would command a salary
on the legitimate, long, white fingers
and a shrug or a gesture that can
carry as perfect an inflection as her
voice.
Mimicry offers the widest of fields
and Miss Janis can duplicate any off
the personalities in the theater-and
her satire is devastating: Ethel Bar-
rymore in her own version of "Mama
Goes Where Papa Goes" and John
Barrymore in a travesty of his im-
mortal Hamlet, and both of them doneI
in the Barrymore grand manner. Jean
Eagels singing "Yes, Sir, That's My
Baby-And My God What a Wow!"
with a walk straight from the San
Francisco redlights; Sarah Bernhardt
-a perfect imitation that would have
made the immortal Sarah turn com-
pletely over in her grave, wooden leg
and all. And Elsie has many talents
-one wonders why she ever left mu-
sical comedy; she can sing with that
lowdown that makes you wiggle in
your seat, and she dances well, even

music halls, the Paris variety houses
and American vaudeville call her the

Sophie Tucker may sing louder, and

"EVERYTHING THAT IS, IS
IMPORTANT!"
The following cast for Eugene
O'Neill's "S. S. Glencairn" which will
be presented by Mimes in their the-
ater on October 19, 20 and 21 has been
announced:
Seamen on the "S. S. Glencairn":
Yank ...............B. Lorain Norton
Driscoll............... Donald Lyons
Olson................ Richard Lutes

Cockney ............Samuel Bonnellx

The First Mate.......Ward Tollizien
The Captain........... Kenneth King
West Indian Negresses:
Bella ..... . .........Fred Crandell
Pearl .................Daniel Warner
Susie.................R. W. Ramsey
Violet ...............F. A. Nordquist
The "S. S. Glencairn" was the last
production of last year, and closed a
successful season. The trenchant
realism of the piece, and its accurate
portrayal of sea life caught its audi-
ence and it closed with patrons still
unsatisfied.
The drama is also unique in the fact
that it is not a single play but a series
of three from six one act plays writ-
ten by O'Neill with the action of all
three taking place on board the "S.I
S. Glencairn". This unity of place as
well as several characters who run
through all three plays succeed in
linking the action together. The first
of the three, "The Moon of the Cari-
bees" is a vivid picture of the life of
the sailors of a British tramp steam-
