The retailing of these un- certain confessions is in itself a shal- low business. But when one ma, in no evidentstouch with the situation, presumes to stand the authority of two young, impressionable, publicity- seeking people against the sincere and weighty opinions of faculties and col- lege presidents, one must suspect his motive. It is such men who are making more difficult the administration of univer- sity affairs. They set themselves in the highways and byways as spreaders of light. Instead they are selecting isolated examples, their evidence is, at best, doubtful, and they are pre- suming to hand the lie in public to conscientious, sincere men. It is to be hoped that these self- appointed critics will soon be driven out of the limelight and out of the headlines of the press so that college life may be represented, pro and con at once, by the people who know actualities and facts. Only in this way may the people of the country really know and understand conditions in their educational institutions. The universities need no mouthpiece from without. They are the recorders and publishers of each of their own min- ute phases, in truth and entirety. FOR OUR MARINE In the involved system of modern business, it is impossible for some government expenditures, while bring- ing no direct return, to foster an in- stitution beneficial to the whole coun- try. To a large extent, this applies to federal aid which will enable Amer- ican shipping, still in the "infant in- dustry" stage, to meet foreign compe- tition. Belief in the practicability of this viewpoint has led President Coolidge and the Budget bureau to recommend a $4,500,000 increase in the shipping board appropriation, when it learned that certain foreign companies were planning to cut rates on the lines over which American concerns were oper- ating. The existence of such an emergency fund coupled with the notice that the government stood ready to back its commercial marine would undoubtedly produce the proper psychological effect upon the theaten- ing competitors. Realization of the strength of the American opposition will probably lead them to abandon the idea of price cutting. Appropriation of the sum requested, even if it were actually expended, would be a move beneficial to the na- tion. The creation of a merchant ma- rine would preclude discrimination against American shippers and would establish a training school for American sailors as well as a valuable part of the national defense. That such protection will be practical and will be required for only a limited time is shown by the success which some American lines have already at- tained in the foreign trade. Blame for a head-on electric rail- road collision is fixed, on the painful toothache of the motorman. It ap- pears~ that the Interstate Commerce commission will have to appoint a dental inspector in the interests of safety. OASTED ROLL JOIN THE VARSITY T AND SEE THE WORLD Yesterday was "Navy Day." Tomorrow is "Michigan Day." "Navy Day," postponed one day in Ann Arbor on account of rain, was celebrated yesterday with a big pa- rade of the Horse Marines, a meeting of the Tolstoy league, and an uliasual- ly rough 8:40 riot at the Maj. The police were home in bed resting up for the expected excitement Saturday night. * * * Throwing aside professional jeal- ousy, the Horse Marines turned out in great number to support the Navy in whatever the present campaign is about. The Tolstoy league celebrated by holding a meeting, with the discussion centering around Tolstoy for a change. The team and the band weren't the only ones to leave town yesterday for Baltimore. Admiral Ixzo, represent- ing the Horse Marines, left in his famous horse and buggy late yester- day afternoon - * * * OFF FOR THE GAME W e e # -. I.- * * * Admiral Ixzo will address the Alumni banquet tonight in Philadel- phia on the subject, "The Place of the Buggy in Higher Education." He will urge the alumni to support his, or- ganization in its efforts to bring back the good old buggy era, by driving to football games in buggies themselves hereafter. * * * The exclusive story of Admiral Ixzo's trip will appear only in ROLLS. Furthermore, he will not write his confessions for the Times News.

MUSIC AND DRAMA THIS AFTERNOON: The Play Pro- duction classes present three one act plays, "Manlikin(I andl Miniikin", "Riders to the Sea" and ",The Man with the Boeler Hat" in University hall audi- torium at 3 o'clock. FROM SYNGE TO MILNE Activities of the Play Production and Direction classes will receive their first public inspection at 3 o'clock this afternoon in the University hall audi- torium with the presentation of three one-act plays. The event will be of double importance to those interested in campus dramatics because it will represent the first work in that line which has been done under the direc- tion of David Owen, latest addition to the public speaking faculty. The pro- ductions are being staged under some- what of a handicap in that it is still early for the course to function, es- pecially under new leadership. Re- hearsals have been going, on for little over two weeks, and they have been under the direction of several stu- dents, Mr. Owen merely acting in a supervising capacity. He wishes it understood particularly thatsthe greater part of the work has been done by the individual students. There will be no admission charged for the per- formances this afternoon, and any one who is interested is welcome. The three plays to be given have been selected from a group of seven which have been under rehearsal. The first is a fantastic bit from the pen of Alfred Kremymborg entitled "Manikin and Minikin" wherein two porcelain dolls come to life. It is directed by Margaret Lord. The second is "Riders To The Sea" by J. M. Synge, directed by Mary Gudekunst and Catherine Geesey. It is a realistic drama of the Irish sea folk and their inherent fatality. The third play, which may give way to another, is. a satiric bur- lesque on the acting of two or three generations ago, and it is written in the inimitible style of A. A. Milne. This piece is directed by Ruth Mc- Cann, and is entitled 'The Man In The Bowler Hat." Glimpses of the rehearsals presage wel for the reception of the produc- tions, and at least an interesting after- noon should be afforded those attend- ing: Mary Lois Kudekunst is also di- recting Comedy Club's "Tea for Three" I and is excellent; Ruth McCann and Margaret Lord are possessed of a happy faculty for stage proportion; and the Synge Irish peasant dramas are always popular-witness the run of "Juno and the Paycock" last year in New York. * * " MUSICAL COMEDY IN DETROIT Two exceptional musical shows and one so-so ,comedy are now playing in Detroit: the "Song of the Flame" and the "Passing Show" 1926 edition are the pick of the lot; "Yes, Yes, Yvette" is holding its own, and will probably last through a longer run. The "Song of the Flame" is an Arthur Hammerstein production, pre- tentions and with a wonderful ballet is now at the Shubert-Lafayette and wil easily run into another week. Tessa Kosta and Guy Robertson and as much of the original company as ever survives for the Detroit and Chicago companies is presenting the play which boasts a Russian art choir of 60 and an American ballet and aug- mented orchestra. Alive Weaver and Shep Camp are also in the cast, Miss Weaver doing some very good toe work. The opera is romantic (the background of the Russian revolt of 1917 is used) and is beautifully staged. The music is by George Gershwin and Herbert Strothart with Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein doing the book and lyrics. The New York Winter Garden Revue "The Pasing Show of 1926" is now in an indefinite run at the Schubert-De- troit. Incidently this is the third Schubert revue to play in the city in the last month. The most unique thing about the show is that it was swung from first rehearsal into a pre- miere in exactly four weeks. Which means that the leading lady lost twenty pounds, the Winter Garden' Brigade of 100 famous beauties 100 were blessed in terms of the Black Granger Enterprises Good music still available for week-end of Wisconsin game-November 5 and 6.

With this 'act in mind, it is truly gratifying to learn that. Belgium, one of the prin- cipal sufW'ers-of the'"war has stabi- lizad t edrarW and also a medium for foreign--trade, Q Belga, which will again put on a srd basis the mone- tary system of th:t country. Perhaps with ,-eps toward progress all around her, even France will soon come to a saner viewpoint and attempt to rehabilitate tihe franc with foreign aid, rather than persist in its attempt to" restore it to its fd rmer value. American capital is willing to lend aid, as is shown in the helgium ar- rangement, to a nation that is sincere about recovering its credit;, and if Belgium can secure fifty millions of dollars in the United States, there is So reason to suppose that France would be unable to float a proportion- al loan. It would be an investment in progress from the standpoint of America. NO MOUTHPIECE NEEDED Followers of the trend of contem- porary college life have, sadly enough, become accustomed to the frequent exposures of ex-woman students, and confessions of "disillusioned" college rnen similar to the one by Wilbert 0. Cross, whose impressions of college life as a "gin-drinking, nocturnal pet- ting, helluva good time" life were pub- lished in a prominent church: organ early this September. In the course of time, however, these followers have also learned to discount these rabid discussions in the light of true con- ditions. They have come to accept these exposures as a comment on only a minute minority and not on college life as a whole. This change has been brought about by the reports of col- lege presidaints revealing things as they saw them in practice, and by the sincere eforts of college students to have themselves rightly judged. One as now astonished therefore by! the speech of Horace J. Bridges, leader of the Chicago Ethical society, before that organization recently. The old charges of Cross and a woman studentt were introduced again as "logical evidence." But worse than this was th at part of the speech in which Bridges said, "I dismiss as lundicrous the easy vindications and various as- . t s .

PRE-CONCERT CRITICISM To The Editor: If in the two years I have been here the musical criticisms were of a type that Mr. Reninger desires, I am sure that The Daily would have been the recipient of a letter on "Our Musical: Critic" and I would not have waited for my fifth year. The Music and Drama column is a ' healthy institution. Youth! confident! of its capabilities-sincere; and hu- man wherein it is occasionally car- ried away by words. But its forte is, it reviews the local concerts and not the press notices. I am under the impression that the type of criticism Mr. Reninger wants could be written before the concert. "Kreisler last night gave a superb demonstration of his artistry, before I a packed Hill auditorium. His tech- nique was a revelation, his tonal depth incomparable....' Of Kreisler's or Schumann-Heink's, or Hoffman's capabilities, we have no doubts. Their reputation is establish- ed. The column has not been review- ing reputations. A headache, a slight- ly uncomfortable stomach, a trip in a dusty Pullman, some uninspiring contemplations on life..... They all have their effects. ' But pshaw, you either agree with a critic or you don't and as long as the criticism is sincere and woll writ- * * * TEAR GAS will be released in the stands at future football games here whenever one of those broadcasting stations starts telling how the play would have been executed if he had, been substituting for Benny.

OUR OWN SURVEY In connection with the Union's survey of how many use the build- ing Saturday, we took a littlet census of our own to find out how many used the Alumni Memorial hall that day.

We alnost had to use both hands, except that the janitors got in before we started counting. * * * The cannon in front of the County building is being overhauled by po- lice, and will be ready for use in the next theater rush. * * * One sophomore thinks he is a com- bination of the "Strong Man" and the "Black Pirate'.'
