COMPROMISE!
Judging from the progress of the
preparatory, arrangements which have
been going .on forFnany weeks, the r -
sults of the general disarmament con-
feronce to be convoked before next
September by the League of Nations
Will be very meager and unsatisfac-
tory.
With the discussion of the general
conference limited by the previous
agreements of a smaller body, it is es-
sential that the preparatory commit-
tee reach worthwhile conclusions and
inake recommendations which will be
backed by the various powers In the
large gathering. At the present time,
progress in this direction Is being
blocked by a drawn out discussion of
the method which is to be followed in
comparing the strengths of the world
navies. France and Italy persistently
declare that the comparison should
be between the total tonnages, while
;o delegates of Great Britain, Japan,
Mnd the United States are equally in-
sistent that only warships should be
considered, as was the practice at the1
Washington disarmament conference.
.Because of the constituency of the
various navies, this question undoubt-
edly has vital importance to all the
nations represented. However, it
should not be allowed to overshadow
that more significant matter-the act-
ual reduction of naval armament.
If At becomes obvious that the adop-
tion of either standard of naval
strength is wholly unsatisfactory to
both groups, the delegates should
'.nn(.drate their skill as practical
diplomats by framing an agreement
which wl he acceptable to all.
people will see the parade, if they're
lucky, and that will be all.
However, the loss is not great.
Holders of mere $10 seats will be so
far north or south along the lake
shore that they will be little better off
than their fellow citizens at home.
The man who designed that stadium
had never seen a football game. And
if the Thanksgiving weather in Chi-
cago is similar to that furnished for
the Northwestern-Michigan game-a
good radio is much to be preferred to
a $2,500 seat!
FACULTY-STUDENT RELATIONS
The aim of President Little and
other prominent educators is to "hu-
manize" education; to get away from
the old routine of a professor, aloof
and dignified, handing out informa-
tion, which is duly memorized by the
student, rehashed in examinations,
and promptly forgotten. The new
method is to bring the professor and
the student into closer contact-to
make them friends, interested in the
same subject, working together to the
same end. Faculty-student smokers,
faculty men dining at fraternity
houses, faculty advisers for freshmen
-all these developments are aimed
at the same goal.
There is one other means of contact
open, long neglected except in a few
cases. Most members of the faculty,
residing out Washtenaw avenue, or
other distant points, reach the campus
every morning by automobile-in
most cases, five passenger cars. Most
students living in the same localities
make their eight o'clock classes by a
little brisk walking. If the faculty
men would make a practice of taking
a car-load of students to the campus
with them on each trip, some contacts
might be made which would prove
more valuable to both sides than those
supplied in the classroom. There are
professors who have long since adopt-
ed this custom; there are others who
might contribute their share to the
"humanizing" process.
An automobile has wonderful pos-
sibilities as a "humanizer!"
THE ESPERANTOISTS
Standardization is a great and pro-
gressive step in almost any field of
human endeavor. Industry has saved
millions ondthe standardization of one
part; business feels the effects of the
movement; and law itself is merely a
standardization of the ethical factors
necessary to enable men to live to-
gether. In this great wave of stand-
ardization it is only natural that tome
method should lie undertaken, to
standardize that great motly array
of heterogeneous methods Which peo-
ple use to communicate with one an-
other-the languages.
The movement known as Esperanto
realize the need for a uniformity in
language, and that is commendable.
The methods, however, in which it
would bring about this uniformity are
so astoundingly childish as to be al-
most unbelievable. Here is the prob-
lem. There are about seventeen hun-
dred million people on the earth. Of
this number five hundred million al-
ready speak English or can speak it
well enough to carry on commerce,
which is the primary requirement.
Four. hundred million more speak
French, and two hundred millions of
the remainder speak Spanish.
Into this program, which is very
obviously approaching uniformity al-
ready under its own impetus and the
impetus of increased communication
between the most widely separated
parts of the world, the Esperanto ad-
vocates would inject an entirely new
language, unknown, and which,
though it is comparatively easy to
learn, looks to the novice remark-
ably like a mixture of bad English,
abominable Spanish, and worse;
French. So far there are forty thou-
sand people enrolled in all the Esper-
anto clubs in the world. Not all oft
these can speak the language. Such
ridiculously small numbers, compared
with the hundreds of millions, that al-'
ready speak existing tongues, im-
press one with not only the ridic-
ulous part of the movement but with
the utter futility of it.
Esperanto has had a chance. It can
no longer make the plea that it is un-
tried. Radio stations the world over,
hard up for summer programs, broad-
cast lessons in the language which
were immediately tuned out by nine-
tenths of the listeners.
To suppose that two languages can
exist side by side in every country
of the globe is absurd. To think that
a crude concoction can displace lan-
guages enriched by years of literature
and tradition is likewise absurd. Dr.
Tobiash Sigel, who addressed the
local Tolstoy league on the subject,
was welcome, as all men who are
leaders are welcome to Ann Arbor.
But we can not help but be impressed
with the futility and inanity of at-

Readers will not lose heart, please.
Mr. C. C. Bradner, columnist of the
Detroit Free Press, is to address the
Press Club this afternoon, and we will
be there taking it all in. You will
note the improvement in the next is-
sue of this column, whenever that may
be.
This flood of "campus opinion" has
given us quite a vacation. The only
trouble is that we don't get a chance
to express our opinion-which is val-
uable, of course-until after the whole
thing blows over.
* * S
Now we wanted to say some-
thing about the feminization of
the Union, especially the tap
room, but somebody started it in
yesterday's Campus Opinion, and
maybe by the time we get this
written there will be such a flood
of comments on it that we won't
have our say until the great voice
of the people has turned on the
B. and G. boys for not cleaning ice
off the sidewalks.
* * ""
Not that we deny that most of the
stuff really belongs in this column,
but we think they ought to run the
"Toasted Rolls" head above it.
* * *
But we'll try it anyway. What is
the world coming to when we have
girls leaning on the bar in the Union
tap room? And what are these dear
beloved alumni going to say when they
come back to the scenes of the grand
old celebratiops and find "Lucy Mo-
honay, '30," carved in the table top
* * *
A line of cream-puffs and much
French pastry will be put in the tap
room. And there will have to be
fancy table-covers, with window cur-
tains to match.

SHADES OF HENDERSON!
"This cycle of three related one-act
plays (S. S. Glencairn) is made for
acting by Mnes The characters are

charm."-Professor Campbell in Mu-
sic and Drama review.
FIRE SALE ON TICKETS
Evidently the rain of last Saturday
frightened the Athletic association
and they decided to sell tickets while
the sun shines. Or maybe it was just
that some alumnus who was supposed
to get the 650 tickets got sore at get-
ting soaked last Saturday and refused
to take them.
* * *
At any rate there were a few that
got several tickets. All they had to
do was get down there at 4 A. M. yes-
terday and present several soupon
books, and .they were given the tick-
ets their "friends" wanted. Some
students waited a couple hours in line
only to find that a couple hundred
students had.been given 650 tickets
at the rate of "two to a person."
If they had only announced that
they would not follow the plan they
announced, it would have been al-
right. We could have given some
friend at the head of the line our
coupon book, and gone home to bed.
* * *
MORE DIRT
Now the real facts of the digging
being down over there where some
day North U. will be extended are
being told. The B. and G. boys say
they are building a heat tunnel, but
we have investigated and find that it
is not for that purpose at all.
* * S
This tunnel will really serve as a
means of escape from the campus for
the medics. They have some classes
over on the campus, but every day
they have to travel over to the Uni-
versity hospital. So, that's why the
tunnel.
You know, a medic must never be
seen loafing. It would be a digrace.
With this tunnel he will be able to
sneak from the medical building to the
hospital without anyone seeing him,
and thinking that he was through
work for the day.
In times of war, the tunnel may be
used by frosh, so that they may make"
a safe journey through-or under-
the ranks of the sophomore class.

DRAMA
TONIGHT: Eugene O'NeilPs "S.
S. Glencairn" in the Mime theater
at 8:30 o'clock.
"S. S. GLENCAIRN"
A Review, by Vincent Wall
Such a play as the "S. S. Glencairn"
with its pristine honesty daubed with
the erotic touch of the tropics-rum,
nigger singing and moonlight-is the
strongest vindication of the present
reverence which Eugene O'Neill com-
mands in the American theater.
All three plays deal with the tra-
gedy of small lives; the twentieth
century scorns epic material. But al-
though it is drama of incident, these
sailors--jetsam from the wharves of
the whole world crowded into the
hold oa British tramp steamer-are
a palette which furnishes a range of
all the color of romance and the black
and whites of reality.
And their treatment by Mimes dis-
closed unsuspected talent in all direc-
tions. The characters' are types, ae
to combine an ability to live into the
part without the awkward gesture
and embarrassment that marks the
amateur was a problem. The contrast-
ing dramatic power of Lorain Norton
and Donald Lyons in the roles of Yank
and Driscoll called forthability that
was almost professional, and the
death of the former in "Bound E
for Cardiff" was played with a finesse
that eliminated the possibility of it
becoming crude melodrama. The
comic insertions of Richard Lutes and
Samuel Bonnell as Olson and Cockn'
-both difficult roles-were capably
handled. Such a play cannot be treater
lightly, and in less able hands the
Donkeyman, Bella and even Smitty
might have become ridiculous, insipid.
And to Mr. Shuter goes the credit of
the natural handling of pauses, the
elimination of unwieldy movement and
the complete triumph of the piece.
THE MATINEE MUSICALE
A Review, by Robert Carson
This was a superb program through-
out-there was nothing to mar the
beauty of musical expression, not one
jot of mediocrity in the playing.
Andre de Ribaupierre, violinst, (ac-
companied by Mrs. Maude Okkeburg)
has all the pattern of an artist: per-
fect intonation, good interpretation
and powerfully expressive tone both
in the loud and soft passages. And
the same is true of Beryl Rubenstein,
pianist.
The first number-Mozart's "Sonata
No. 8" in C major for piano and violin
-was followed by a group of violin
solos beginning with aii 18th century
Corelli theme with variations that re-
I quired brislliant spring bow and chord
work. The "Polonaise in D" by
Wieniawski likewise required all the
mastery that that composer demands
of the violinist, deep, forceful, rhythm
with broad marcato strokes and petite
trills, harmonics and pizzicato.
The pianist, Mr. Rubenstien, equal-
ly pleased. He commenced with the
Bach "Siciliano" in a minor and then
played the familiar ballet music from
"Rosamunde" by Schubert-Ganz. In
the difficult Chopin "Fantaisie" in F
minor he fully showed his ability,
especiallyintthe markedly slow hymn-
al movements. The concluding num-
ber was the well-known "Sonata" in
A major by Ceasar Franck. The Al-
gretto poco mosco contained a fine
example of the cannon with a playing
of the melody first by the piano and
then quickly followed up by the violin.
MARTHA MERKEL AND EUNICE
NORTHRUP
A Review, by Elaine Gruber
For a bit of diversion which was to
offset the tediousness of an evening
to be spent in listening to the monoto-
nous tones of a speaker, the recital
offered Wednesday night in Hill audi-
torium by Miss Martha Merkle and
Miss Eunice Northrupp did nothing
but leave the listeners in a dazed state
through which shown merely a hazy
question mark. In other words, the
entertainers went over the heads of
the audience, (no reflection on the
same.)
And although Miss Merkle rendered
her selections on the piano, with skill-
ed technique, and a fine display of the
deeper feelings of music, than usually
grace the woork of amateurs, she
neglected to realize that she was be-
fore a homogeneous group, many of
whom had never had time nor were
able to develop the appreciation and
understanding of such music as Miss
Merkle was offering. Miss Merkle dis-
played beautiful technique, however,
especially in her lighter selections
which needed a less powerful touch
and dramatic resonance.
The selections of Miss Northrupp
were more suited to her audience and
were beautifully rendered with the
able assistance of Dona Esselstyn,
who acted as accompanist. The thing
Miss Northrupp lacked was power-
but with more confidence, that should
develop. With a voice of the rich,
full quality of her's Miss Northrupp
needs only the development of more
confidence to give her a splendid stage
personality.

THE AI 1Y AJX) NAVY FOREVER
Amid the cheers of the multitudes
of the Middle West, Congressman
Britten, of Chicago, and other leaders
of the representatives of the people,
forced congress to approve the play-
ing of the 1927 Army-Navy football
game at Soldier's Field, Chicago. De-
spite the protests of those who re-
alized what a tremendous waste of
time and money such a game would
be, the thing was carried through-
that the humble tax-payers of the
West might see their sons at West
Point or Annapolis in action.
Several months have passed, and the
tickets for this classig have been
placed on sale. Will the common peo-
ple be in the stands, enjoying the
game and giving thanks for the gener-
osity of'congress? They will not;
they will be at home listening over the
