One would have to have been pos- .,-s,ed of an extremely thick head, not nav had his sense of humor touched a the altruistic and_. generous aid which University students gave the referee 'counting off Illini penalties in the recent game on Ferry field. Such charitable and unselfish giv- ng as was there manifested would ad one to believe that the Univer- L has entered on a new era of p1 laAthropy, were it not recalled that n agnerous s.pirit has often cu *;; . lacking in S. C. A. drives cui Cih :;ampaigns. However, the baAd dd give the Illini some- usme when they led the rooters in singing "Illinois,' as is mentioned in ,L ampus Opinion. n; may well question, in an un- ostentatious and mild manner, if the official was not fully capable of count- tg hshimself, if he really wanted the students' help, if the m roi rs were pr.ofundly im- d bthis generous and vocifer- d and if strangers were moved K spectacular sportsmanship of tho Yostnc-n supporters. "M" DAY Athletes wear their sweaters occa- sionally irregardless of modesty and all they are asked to do is to wear them once a week. Surely one can be within the realm of modesty and still wear his sweater four times a month . The athletes are responsible for continuing the tradition, for they discontinued it. And they can do so with a spirit of helping Michigan, of building her up into a finer institu- tion-like they helped her when they earned their letters. THE HONEST VOTER In all corners of the United States, the constant cry of politicians has been "get out the vote." Candidates. apparently throw off their party dif- ferences in appealing to the public "to vote regardless of what candidate is favored." All men who have studied politics know that of those people who are eligible to vote only a small percent- .age of them cast their ballot on elec- tion day. The condition is alarming to some people, especially to candi- dates. They contend that democracy cannot survive unless the people take a greater interest in voting. It is undoubtedly true that many voters are ngligent about voting. However, there are hundreds and thousands of other people who feel that they are expressing their honest opinion when they intentionally stay away from the polls. If an individual believes that neither Mr. Green nor Mr. Comstock is capable of being governor of Mich- igan, he is not honest with himself or his fellow citizens if he casts a vote for either one. This particular indi- vidual is expressing his honest opinion by staying away from the polls. Like- wise, if the voter is convinced that Hr. Green and Mr. Comstock are both capable men and either one if elected would conduct himself with honor as governor of this state, he feels he has not been untrue to his trust if he fails to register a vote for either one or the other of the candi- date. However, in this case party el- legiance might influence the voter to cast a ballot, but he does not feel that it is absolutely necessary for him to vote to express his honest opinion. If the voter feels that Mr. Green will be superior to Mr. Comstock or vice versa in the capacity of chief execu- tive of Michigan, then he is not ex- pressing his convictions' unless he designates his choiceton election day, he is -not fulfilling his duty as a citizen. Of course, there are those individ- uals who take no interest in voting whatsoever, who might excuse them- selves from voting by saying they ex- press their opinion by staying at home. However, they realize that they are not sincere and are finding ex- cuses to shirk a duty. It is to this type of individual that the statement "get out the vote" is applied. We need not be alarmed if an indi- vidual expresses his honest opinion by staying away from the polls, but we should look with scorn on the individ- ual who takes no interest whatsoever in voting and tries to excuse himself in an unfair manner. THE PRESIDENT ERRS No one will deny that President Coolidge is not only a capable admin- istrator of domestic affairs but an executive possessed of shrewd poli- tical judgment as well. But he has made a mistake, and if to err is hu- man, then the President is no differ- ent than the rest of us. In the Massachusetts senatorial campaign the President departed from hie usual precedent to support Sen- ator William B. Butler. He wrote aJ letter of commendation, called on the voters of his home state to support Butler, and even made a special trip home to vote for him. But it was to no avail. For various reasons Butler lost. The defeat is construed by occa- sional critics to be a repudiation of the federal administration ,as due to the President's support of Butler the election became almost a national party issue. Anyway Butler lost, the President erred in supporting him and the administration suffered a po- litical slap in the face. Calvin Coolidge Shakes Hands With Admiral Ixzo i lvin Coolidge Admiral Ixzc Q TED / EXTRA HAY HIMSELF CONTRIBUTES Ohio State is sending its team up here Saturday to watch Michigan clean up on Wisconsin. Which just shows how anxious they are down. there to see a real football game. We hope they aren't coming as stu- dents, or they will go home wondering just what was happening away out there 'on the field. Maybe they can sneak in as alumni, although if they can it won't be much of a compliment to them. . * * * The idea is that they want to see how Michigan works her plays, and they will still be wondering how on Nov. 13. PRESIDEWT COOLIDGE VISITS ADMIRAL IXZO IN WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-President Coolidge made a social call on Ad- miral Ixzo, of the Michigan Horse Ma- rines, at the latter's suite in the War department, this morning. After waiting forty-five minutes for the Admiral to finish breakfast, Mr. Coolidge was ushered into the office of the Admiral. Other members of the official family also attended, includ- ing the White House spokesman. The ceremony was brief, the group filing rapidly past the Admiral who stood just to the northwest of his desk; each visitor was given a hurried handshake, and then was hurried on by the Horse Marines on guard. Cool- idge was favored with a quiet smile from the Admiral, who said, "Good morning, Cal." Dumbfounded, Cal spoke not a word. IMUSIC AND DRAMAJ YOUNG JOHN VAN DRUTEN John Van Drutn, author of "Young Woodley" which starred Glenn Hunter last year, has accepted an invitation to speak in Ann Arbor and will ap- pear on Tuesday, November 9, at 4:15 o'clock in Natural Science auditorium. Mr. Van Druten is somewhat of a puzzle to the American stage, and for sometime he was regarded as almost a myth. Directly after "Young Wood- ley" made its initial appearance in New York, and became a success, the theatrical world sat back to wait for the young prodigy who had turned out the current sensation. When no one appeared to be lionized, it was hinted that the play was an experient thrown off in a mad moment by a prominent English-author, and that John Van Druten was a pseudonym, for the author had submitted his play through the royal mail to certain London play agents. When the play became an even greater success-Glenn Hunter and Helen Gahagan with the original cast are still appearing in the east-by dint of much cabling, correspondence and interviews by avid Associated Press reporters, it was discovered that' "Mr. Van Druten" was a young man of 24, that he was a graduate of the University of London, that he held a professorship of law in University ,f Wales at Aberystwyth, that he pre- ferred two lumps in his tea-. But for all of that Van Druten main- tains that he is ordinary, uninterest- ing, and there is nothing unusual about him. In spite of this a bashfal young man was reluctantly dragged from "the heart of Wales" and is now lecturing in the United States. In- cidently it has crystalized since that he has completed two plays, and is an authority on all phases of the drama. The use of the English public school system as a background for "Young Woodley" required exception- ally intelligent treatment for it is a subject that is rather void of dramatic possibilities-that is in the technical sense of the term. Moreover the faut that Glenn Hunter is remaining in the cast of the play after being given the opportunity to play the part of Clyde Griffiths in the Patrick Kearney adaptation of the Dreiser "An Ameri- can Tragedy" is significant. For the Dreiser play is about the biggest hit of the present season. THE VIRGIN MAID OF FRANCE On Wednesday evening, November 10 in Hill auditorium Clara Clemens, daughter of the author Mark Twain, and in addition to all that the wife of Ossip Gabrilowitch, will present a dramatic version of her father's nar- rative poem "Recollections of Joan." Madame Clemens will play the title role in the stage adaptation which was revised by Donald Hamilton Haines of the Journalism department. There are of course dozens of ver- sions of the Maid. At the Whitney theater last year the boisterous cre- ation of Shaw was given with all the bufoonery, the ridiculous and para- doxical humor of Shavian satire; Shakespeare has made his La Pucelle in "Henry VI" unladylike and more in the character of a mistress of Reignier and the Dauphin Charles than an inspired shepherdess; and the common conception is the sweet and virginal maid who is martyred for her country; Madame Clemen's version is this way. It is strange that any author so famous for his caustic wit that could burlesque any situation and who held little sacred in religion or life could have approached this cre- ation with almost reverence and awe. The arrangement by Mr. Haines is in ten scenes that give in vignette fashion the history of Joan from her childhood until she is led from her cell to the stake, linked and synchron- ized by an attendant chronicle. Thor- is no attempt to portray the mfob scenes-it is not a upeetacle, ; ut a characterization of Joan. * * * "SEVENTH HEAVEN" After a run of "Young Blood" the Bonstelle Playhouse is now present- ing "Seventh Heaven" which Helen Menken achieved a record of 700 nights at the Booth theater in New York. "Seventh Heaven" it will re- membered was given several seasons ago in Detroit as its premiere per- formance. "Seventh Heaven" is a war drama, with all the good old hokum and blood and thunder of Austin Strong who also did "The Three Wise Fools". it I portrays all the stock characters from the slums of Paris sewer rats, street- washers and absinthe drinkers. But it is an astonishingly successful -- - r - n ii olm r i + r SKILLED REPAIRING We will give you a good trade allowance for your old pen, any standard make, in exchange for Rider 6 trp This pen has four very positive advantages over any other 'Make. 1) Better flow, (2) six to twelve times more ink capacity, (3) only five parts, strong parts, therefore it will outlast any other pen.

I 4 1 ', I j Swift's Drug Co.' 340 South State Cal in Michigan once had an "M" day, when all possessors of Varsity letters and numerals wore their sweaters. It was a campus tradition that had been observed on Wednesday of every week for years. But within the last few years this custom has gradually fallen away until it is now a thing of the past. The loss of such a colorful tradition has been bemoaned by graduates, who feel the materializing tendency of an institution of Michigan's size. It is true in small schools, where the stu- dent body is compact and homogene- ous, where everyone knows everyone else ,that numerous traditions flourish and are as sacred to the students as their .religion. In fact, they are their religion. The bigger the school, the fewer the traditions. If for no other reason than to create the atmosphere of the small school, Michigan athletes should again take up the custom, for students as well as alumni know the deficiency of our campus when it comes to displaying traditions. But such a reason would not be sufficient to warrant the re-establish-, mett of "M" day. The athletes them- .gclvos must feel the impressiveness and value of such a significant tradi- tion.

POOR SPORTSMANSHIP To The Editor On Saturday last I attended the Michigan-Illinois football game. Neith- er before the game nor at any other time did I hear the Michigan rooters cheer Illinois. I did hear, however, i NEVER was there a smoke invita- tion that could compare with "Have a Camel!" On swirling city streets. In the roadster as it bounds over the hills. fn the study or by the fireside, no other smoking phrase is so pro- vocative of enjoyment and friend- ship. 1In its realization comes a ever-increasing millions who have tried them all, who could well afford to pay more, Camels are the first and only choice. Since the dawn of smoking, there has never been a success like Camel's. Camel preference is the inevi- table expression of Camel quality. No other cigarette made is like I to smoke ever sounded '' i
