AN rALL-AMERICAN WATERWAY For three years, congressional ap- proval of the St. Lawrence waterway project has been blocked by those in- terests, principally of New York state, which would be adversely affected by the improvement of this route which the welfare of the entire Middle West demands. As an argument to back their con- tentions, these interests, headed by Representative Dempsey, New York, have advocated the conditioning of the obsolete New York barge canal as an alternative proposal. To make the scheme more plausible, they have contended that national defense con- siderations make this route more de- sirable than the international one. Of course, appreciation of the ability of long range guns as well as aircraft to cripple either waterway renders this arugument absurd, although that little matters to the foes of the St. Lawrence route. Under these circumstances, then, it is particularly satisfying to note that a board of army engineers, investigat- ing the New York route, have turned down that scheme after considering both its engirleering and economic aspects. Coupled with the favorable report given by the International Joint commission in 1923 on the St. Lawrence project, this action is an unmistakable guide which Congress should follow at its next session. THE PAROLE Governments have open seasons on deer, ducks, and all sorts of harm- less fowl and game, but still we have the prison reformer with us and no chance to shoot him. It is scarcely two weeks since a daring and cruel mail robbery near New York cost the life of a mail clerk and evidence points conclusively to the fact that the killer was a man who was not only paroled once but three times after he had secured long sentences in the penitentiary for similar out- rages. A short time before that, a similar event occurred; and the crim- inal, caught, turned out to be a par- doned murderer, In view of these facts, then, the ac- tion of the American Prisn Associa- tion Congress in advising further leniency by the press and more inde- terminate sentences, comes at a de- cidedly inauspicious moment; so in- auspicious, in fact, that the stand is fairly ridiculous. The criminal is undesirable at large. Experience has showed that the man who has proved unfaithul4 to his trust once rarely becomes a use- ful citizen. To be broadminded and teach criminal trades in prison and be humane to them is well and good- as long as they are in prison; but to let them out to continue their careers -as they generally do at the expense of society is sheer foolishness-not- withstanding the action of the prison association to the contrary. EDITORIAL COMMENT STED ROLL CAMPAIG N NEARER I GOAL Great impetus was given ROLLS' campaign for funds to buy one of the stadium bonds, and place two repre- sentative students, elected by the campus at large, in seats among the customers at the games next year, by the contribution received yester- day from "Vox Student." * * s Thus, the largest single contribu- tion received for our fund comes from an anonymous source, and we cannot personally deliver the thanks the donor so richly deserves. The letter enclosing this noble gift is as follows: * " s Dear Mr. Hay: There are, I believe, some ten thousand (10) students in this University. That will make eachI student's quota in your drive for five hundred dollars for a stadium bond amount to five cents. Here- with find same. Wishing you every success in your campaign, I remain, I hope, "Vox Student." * * * ROLLS' STADIUM BOND FUNDI Contributionsl "Vox Studenti"........$ .05 1 Today's total-........- .05 TOTAL TO DATE ...... .05 AMOUNT YET TO BE RAISED .............$499.95 I With our campaign fund in full swing now, and the contributions coming in so fast that our entire office force is kept busy opening letters and counting the vast sums thus collected, we can look forward to the future. One problem that must be solved is: what will we do with all the interest we receive on this bond? So, all of you who have so kindly sent in money for this fund will please write or telegraph-not collect, as that would settle the question right away-as to what you wish this in- terest to be spent for. The terrible thought just occurred to us that maybe after we get all this money colledted, and send it in, we will get a letter from the Athletic association saying that "The student allotment of bonds was sold out Sep- tember 28. Your application was re- ceived after that date, so it is neces- sary to refund your remittance..

WILSON THE PLAY PRODUCTION CLASSES I: A review, by Ninnya Miller Under the direction of Mr. Owen, Mr. Hollister's assistant of last year, the Play Production classes are mak- more appropriate basis than before. The three plays of yesterday, " kiders1 to the Sea," "Manikin and Minikin and "The Man in the Bowler Hat," appeared in a laboratory experiment. There is no longer any evidence of an attempt to compete for popularity with the more formal productions of the campus dramatic societies. There were no programs, for example. The casts were simply announced by Mr. Owen during the interval while audi- ence and cast awaited the belated arrival of Mr. Carl Kraatz. j The plays are given so that stu- dents of play production may learn to act and to direct, not primarily for the edification of what audience there may be. Mr. Owen realizes that the directors of the plays given by campus societies in the little Mimes theater are enabled to select their casts from an already selected grop, and that the very nature of the material avail- able to him is such as to preclude any possibility of pretension similar to theirs. He does not even attempt to choose plays that will attract the attention of the play-going public. None of the three given yesterday are new to the campus. Two of them have been presented more than once by campus societies and the Ypsilanti players. I It is a pleasant innovation Mr. Owen has given us. In the past the pseudo-formality of the plays has been the proper setting to make their more than occasional mediocrity a palpable farce. The new policy set- ting them on a level such that they may not be compared with any fair- ness to them, to other dramatic activ- ities about us-excepting of course the Rockford players-makes them a surprisingly good experiment. They are not presented to be reviewed. They are not even presented to attract a great audience. People sufficiently interested find their way to them and they are not disappointed in what they find, but are presently surprised to find them presented at face value, as the work of students. NOEL COWARD * AGAIN AND A FRENCH TRAGEDY "This was a Man" which was banned by a censors in London-a current phrase in the New York theaters-will soon be produced in the latter city and will probably have Francine Larri- more in the cast. Noel Coward, the author, is again in this country and is particularly pleased over the fact that hl Won't be acting this time and will be able to see the New York plays. At least one other of his plays, "Fallen Angels," will be done this season. (Tallulah Bankhead and Edna Best had the leading roles in the London run of this piece.) The third Coward play which might be brought here is "The Queen was in the Parlor" now in London with Madge Titheradge; and since Miss Titheradge will also act in it here, this means that New York will have to wait on the London run. And now J. Brooks Atkinson in the New York Times has undertaken to ex- plain why all the town is drawn to the Empire theater these nights to see Helen Mencken in Edouard Bourdet's P LE ASE 0O N'T MAK E ON T HE CAM..S -The One Diferent Note in Ann Arbor Tea at Three Evenings Until One La Carmagnole 613 East William St. - - - - - - - - Granger Enterprise Week-end Wisconsin Game Good music still available for week-end of Wisconsin game-November 5 and 6.

It might seem that they were in league somehow, and yet peculiarly there was no connection between the re- spective causes that resulted in the political breaks. In the case 'r Czechoslovakia the friction arose over the fact that the cabinet of Prcmier Cerny, which is Scomposed mostly of bureaucrats, is constantly facel with quite serious opposition from i the German and Slo- vak minoritis. The industries of Prague, the capital city, are almost completely under the control of Ger- mans, although they actually form only about five per; cent of its pop- ulation. It is only quite natural that this minority industrial class should chaff under the reign of what to them is an unrepresentative cabinet, and although the agrarian element of this minority had been placated some time ago by increasing the grain duties, Premier Cerny thought it wise to re- sign that a cabinet truly representa- tive of the whole nation might be formed. trvWhile in no way related, the prob- lem of the Jugoslava is basically the ame, the Croats in this case compos- ing the dissatisfied minority. And so it might be expected that again the radical Croat leader, Stefan Raditch, was the cause of the downfall of the cabinet of Premier Uzunovitch, by charging the members of that body with corruption,: as he did on a sim- ilar occasion last spring. The Hungarian franc scandal of1 some time ago at last resulted dis- asterously for Premier Count Ste- pien Bethlen, for although he was "whitewashed" by the courts he im- mediately proceeded to further showI his innocence by resigning with hisl cabinet. However, the Hungarian Regent, Admiral Horthy, refused to accept Premeir Bethlen's resignation and so it would appear that again the surface of thetboiling waters had l~een smioothed, but the potential dis- turbance is still there. The cause of the fall of the Aus- triarn cabinet is somewhat different from that of the other three. Chan- (celior Rudolf Ramek was forced to some sort of action because of the active unrest occasioned by the dis- missal of numerous office holders for economic reasons. It appears that I Ypsilanti 8 13 A M Oct 29 ROLLS U S A ARRIVED HERE EIGHT STOP .rr.rrr.,,..r...,. ....,,.. , r.i.. .-...y.r.,tia....,o..s.,~ ..r.,r,~..i~,r..,,®:..rr.~,.r. . .r.+.. .ivrovv.,.iv THOSE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES (Michigan State News) Those who live ill glass houses should not throw stones. We dislike to use this time worn phrase but sometimes the old sayings are the most forceful and there are occasions when it seems that there is nothing to take their place. This is one of those occasions. Last spring we defeated Michigan in baseball and celebrated afterwards. Michigan State students who were here at that time remember it and those who were not here read about it. Michigan State students went to Lansing and had some difficulty with the Lansing police force. We call to mind the editorial "dig" which the Michigan Daily took the opportunity to make following the demonstration. We were scolded like a small child by a parent. We are disappointed in the Univer- sity of Michigan. According to the Michigan Daily editorial last spring, demonstrations which led to the destruction of property and difficulty with the law, were out of date. It was only the smaller and more back- ward institutions where this could happen. Larger institutions, such as the University of Michigan had done away with this sort of thing. Someone at the University evident- ly spoke too quick in the aforemen- tioned editorial. Last Friday there was a pep meeting at Ann Arbor, the I night before the Illinois game. As yet, there was no great victory to cele- brate but the pep meeting was evi- dently successful judging from the amount of enthusiasm it stirred up; (we give them credit for holding a good pep meeting).

Only the reports of the Reinhardt's sin- (! cerely moving production in Vienna * js 40 seemed to indicate that the perform- z2ance rather than the play would set the tone of "The Captive" in America. -4 "Forunately Mr. Hornblow's adaptation A r and M.
