FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1926 Night Editor--4HAS .1E BELYMER RETURN GAMES With the scheduling this year of two games between Minnesota and _11c-hinigan, and between Northwestern and Indian;, a new controversy has booin injected into the Western Con- ference football situation, namely, the continuance of return games in the same season. In some quarters, this action is considered desirable or'even obligated by the decision of the coaches' conference last year. The only legitimate reason for it, however, is one based on excessive transportation expenses for some foot- ball squads in rlation to the probable ate receis.- Otherwise the best in- l -s of the Conference and the in- ;titntions concerned demand that re- E 11t :ymes be jplayed in successive Pri lnclly, r e la ti o n s established through football rivalry should not be Lmi:td to sinal iiques, playing each Other frequently, hen other worthy Opponents may be met. Conference nt: only eight games and gen- erally no more than five with other sBig Ten elevens. If one institution is to be met twice in the same season, ;t is probable that only three others ;will be scheduled. Yet, there are nine Ii P!e (c'ams in the Big Ten to be met. Minnesota is one'of Michigan's most respected comptitors, and the second ^-ame at Minneapolis will be an inter- esting and hard fought affair; yet most students would prefer to have their team meet Northwestern, Iowa, csm, Tndiana ,or Purdue. We have iard t nleasure of playing the Goph- ers once; but, we will not meet half '-onn- which are eligible to win the Conference title. When the coaches meet this fall, Michigan hopes that her schedule will be made to include as many of her friends' in the Western Conference as p:sible, and will include them only once. ENDOWMENTS! Whiei a prominent and successful man dies before he has 'been able to complete his life ambitions, the public proclaims with pathos that "he died before his time." Such popular utter- ances contain some measure of veracity, but they do not interrogate into the real underlying significances -thev ar nhilnnnhinl. not realitin cades of maturity in which to reach the goal of his life's ambition. No, one can not say that Father Time robbed him. But, one can say that the late Professor Hussey was hinder- ed in the realization of his life's work by, the lack of sufficient funds endowed by the University. For a quarter of a century Profes- sor Hussey dreamed, talked, and plan- ned of establishing an observatory in South Africa, which was to be the largest in the southern hemisphere. He had discovered over 1,650 double stars and the building of the African observatory would have been of great benefit to astronomical science. After a dozen years of patient waiting for funds to carry out the work, a clear- eyed alumnus gave an endowment. But such a fund was not sufficient to speed up the work and by the time the, lenses were ready and work was to be started, pleurisy had reached its goal. A University of this magnitude with an alumni of its size and wealth should have sufficient endowments on hand to promote and complete, in a reasonable time, projects that deal with the development of science. The advancement of astronomy should be of sufficient importance to warrant the attention of the University officials who have charge of securing and ap- propriating endowments. Professor Hussey's years were spent in plan- ring and dreaming of a project that was not completed through no fault of his nor of Father Time. THE POLITICAL PENDULUM A paradoxical political situation has arisen with the appointment of the new Chancellor of Austria-Mgr. Ignaz Seipel-himself, a Christian So- cialist, and successor to Dr. Rudoll Ramek, also a Christian Socialist. But the complexity of the affair occasioned by this new Chancellor being of the same party as his predecessor is heightened by the fact that they are both agreed on the fundamental pol- icy of resistence to the incessant de- mands of the organized state em- ployees for higher pay, a policy that resulted in the downfall of Ramek. However, the explanation itself is comparatively simple, for while the Christian Socialist party has at its command sufficient votes to control the Chancellory, it is divided within itself over the question of "states rights" for the Austrian provinces as opposed to panAustrian "centralism." Just about two years ago, Dr. Ramek, who is the leader of the former fac- tion, usurped the Chancellory from Mgr. Seipel when a similar issue, the raising of salaries of state-employed railroad workers, confronted the ad- ministration . And now again the po- litical pendulum has swung back car- rying with it Mgr. Ignaz Seipel, at present the sole Christian prelate to head a civil government. DEAD LATIN A language is a useful method by which to carry 'on a conversation . It is indeed quite fortunate that nearly everyone one meets is able to speak English. But this is not a reason for learning Latin. Every month or so there is an out- burst by a disappointed Latin teacher or some other rare specimen to the effect that everyone should learn Latin in order to understand English. And recently the Liberty magazine, although not dogmatic on the subject, hinted that knowledge of Latin would be a valuable asset in the modern business world because it is the basis of sixty-five per cent of all our Eng- lish words. All this may be true. But is this a reason for learning a language? I, the line of logic followed through, we might say on the same basis that one should be forced to learn ancient Anglo-Saxon, and Semitics likewise, for both of these tongues contain im- mense numbers of roots just as funda- mental and just as directly connecter' with the question at hand as doe,, Latin. If we look at the issue fairly, we a forced to admit that the study of Latfi, is largely a hangover, a tradition from the Middle Ages, when nine tenths of all the codified knowledge of the world was in that tongue. There is no reason to perpetrate a study, the reason for which has died hundreds of years ago. We have all learned English, and learned it quite well, without any knowledge of Latin roots. Any study of the dead language now would be mere study of Latin from English roots. Nor is it any longer true that the assembled knowledge is mostly in the tongue of the Romans; for there havr been translations of every important work ever written in Latin. For the cultural and professional, side of the case, without a doubt thero OTED ROLLS 6 & 7 We received our tickets to the Wis- consin game yesterday: two choice, locations in the fourth row of section YY. That's the new piee of stands they built last year as an extension on Yost Field house. * * * It has been our custom to publish a few notes on happenings at the game every Sunday ,but unless Harry Tillot- son sends us a couple of good tickets we will have to dispense with that this week. Harry, we dare you to trade ours for two good tickets, and really let us see that game Saturday. A MATTER OF A FEW MILLS A careful survey of the ROLLS', STADIUM BOND FUND accounts as published yesterday here would lead to the conclusion that we were mak- ing off with quite a sum by rotten addition. * * * But a typographical error was made in the listing of the donations of "Krashney" and "Ziltch" as $.45 and $.15 instead of $.045 and $.015.

He will be known only as "Oscar" al- Sthough those close to him are of the opinion that he is a famous race- horse under an assumed name. Training behind closed gates was the order of the day here; although rumors leaking through intimated that road work for both horse and buggy was the strenuous program under. taken. Confidence was expressed that "Oscar" would run away from Ixzo on the long grind. Kernel. OSCAR IN PENSIVE MOOD This excellent picture of Oscar was taken by a ROLLS photographer yes. terday afternoon at the risk of his life, since Kernel has refused to allow visitors to view this mystery horse. * * * SAND __DRAMA I TONIGHT: Comedy Club presen "Tea for Three" in the Mimes theater at 8:30O o'clock. ' TONIGHT: The English Singers ivill give the second Choral Union concert in Hill auditorium at 8 o'clock. "GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES" Ever since the illuminating diary of a professional lady was dramatized by its authoress Anita Loos aided and abetted by her husband John Emerson the name of Lorelei Lee has been household in the theater, and in the press. The comedy is of course one of the freaks of the show world; the part of a Lorelei Lee may never hap- pen again. But its success is attested by the fact that it is now in a road company and will be presented at the Whitney theater next Wednesday night. This is of additional local in- terest since the play was given its premier in Detroit last spring, after- wards going to Chicago for a run and now being presented for the season at the Times Square theater in- New York. Thedcreation of the beautiful and very dumb Lorelei is of course the work of June Walker. And it is a tri- bute to her that the play has suc- ceeded. The lines in the first place are difficult to put over since they are familiar to everyone; it is like sing- ing grand opera when everyone knows the score, while there isn't a situation in the piece. The comedy is broad at all times, but the art of the play is the not too obvious speeches of Lorelei; even the most diaphanous dialogue would be too heavy for her, and yet it must have the semblance of intelligent conversation-"Really, I don't see why so many people trouble to write about a girl like I!" "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" pre- sented several initial difficulties, be- sides the fact that each spectator - would have an interpretation of the t role which might vary with that of the actress. In the first place, Miss Walker was a brunette, and two wigs had to be made to create the sunthetic locks of the professional lady. In the second place Dorothy's lines usually I take most of the laughs, and this leaves Miss Walker with embarassing pauses to cover up with stage busi- ness. And in third place to register the continued vacuity that is Lorelei's mental cosmos is difficult-more sc than to interpret subtle and sophisti- cated comedy. Miss Walker's analysis of this is that it is due partly to a rigid expression of the eyes, partly to the wig (in the end an asset) and partly to the empty quality of her voice with a rising inflection on the end of most of her lines which sends them over the footlights still higher. The complete interpretation of the part is a triumph for Miss Walker, and for the Loss-Emerson combination. s " s PLEASE MAKE PATHS ON THE CA MPUS !GR§IHA £718 - BOOKS Travel - Poetry - Plays - Fiction - Biographies A Very Complete Stock of the Latest and Best Books. - w_ GR9IHAJ'I8 * At Both Ends of The DIa~ons.1 3 :;- II 011111111111111111lili 1111l ii Hllilii 1111illil i ll lIllIli 11111liilli 11liilli 11liii 1111liii 11 l ll i i; a 1 I COASS THEATERI 1)1 .1ROIT i,afayette at waye E Cad. 1100 TH E VAGABOND KING ( Based on Justin Huntley McCarthy's "IRomnilce "IF I WEIIE KING" Week-end Dances - r - ~ We would like t gie our regular patrons just a ~ word to the wise" about dances on the week-end of home I - ~ ootball games.

Two major functions in the field of music and the drama occur tonight when Comedy Club will present the first of two performances of Roi Cooper Megrue's "Tea for Three" in the Mimes theater, while the English Singers will present the second 'of the Choral Union concerts in Hill audi- torium. The Megrue comedy is a successful 'Broadway production of years stand- ing, and will be presented by an effici- ent cast capably directed by Phyllis Loughton. It might also be mentioned that the members are all prominent in dramatic activities: Minna Miller the leading lady of last year's Junior Girl's play, James Martin 'of Gilbert's "Engaged" and another whose name may not be mentioned, but who was very prominently cast in Masque ' all-campus production of Jesse Lynch William's Pulitzer Prize play "Why Marry?" and who is a former pres- ident of the Comedy Club. The English Singers were the out- standing musical novelty of last year, and so far this season have pleased the critics, and what is more impor- tant, their audience. The peculiar al- most organ-like effect of their sing- ing (which is without accompaniment of any kind) and their program of folk songs, madrigals, ballets and can- zonets will interest many. SONGS OF TOIL AND DANGER The most successful musical play in New York last season was "The Vaga- bond King" based on the story "If I Were King" by Justin Huntley Mc- Carthy, with the music by Rudolf Friml. Half the women in the city were in love with Dennis King, and the whole town was whistling "Only a Rose," "The Hugette Waltz" and Corduroy and Sheepskin, 'C od ' ry n d C o a ts For the Wisconsin Game all colors, in Wool, Slicker or Sheepskin Lining Are bought for less here.
