PHELPS WELCOME WISCONSIN Michigan welcomes Wisconsin th a sin erity and respect that 4hus always accompanied the true athletic relationships existing be- tween the two institutions. In victory or defeat, this whole- hearted welcome remains - firm, because the sportsmanship dis- played by the athletic representa- tives- of the two schools while in combat has been commendable. Each desires a victory, but not at the expense of true sportsman- ship or this traditional welcome. Defeat is preferable to the sacri- Ace of this, and that is why vic- tory in the lichiganWisconsin game is so glorious." BIG TEN EXPANSION ,Every year in which it is apparent that Notre Dame will have a success- ful football season, sports editors for numerous Western newspapers sug-. gest the enlargement of the Western Conference by the inclusion of Notre Dame and Michigan State college. uchi action is advocated on the grounds that it would make the race for athletic honors more exciting, as well 'as increasing the revenue of cersain participating schools. From other viewpoints, however, the proverb, "the more the merrier," is not satisfactory when applied to the Big-Ten. The Conference already includes so many members that it is impossible for all of them to meet i .competition in every major sport. For this reason, championship claims are frequently dimmed by ties, much to ithe dissatisfaction of all those in- terested in the outcome of the com- petition. With only its present membership,, full utility cannot be made of the Con-' ference as a medium for the promo- tion of healthy athletic relations. Ex- pansion would only complicate the affairs of this organization and lead to greater sources of dissatisfaction.: WALTER CAMP MEMORIAL Despite the occasional criticism of over-emphasis on present day college athletics, few will contend that sports are ndt on a far higher ethical plane than they were twenty or thirty years ago. Athletics have been extended to the masses, to factory workers and. clerks. This change has been broughtf DIAGONAL DAUBING Though the University entrance re- quirements have been made consider- ably more stringent in the past year or two, it is painfully evident by the' crude painting on University walks, that a few morons have been allowed to slip in. Constructive criticism of the Uni- versity or its officials has always been welcomed, usually considered, occa- sionally followed-but not when it has been expressed through the imbecilic tnethod of daubing the diagonal. THE FALL GAMES To the students of Michigan, the annual interclass games mean more than mere "horseplay." They repre- sent a tradition that has come down to them as a heritage from those who comprised the student body years ago. Surely, anything based on mere "horseplay" could not have survived and thrived as have the games. The Fall games represent the first fundamental step in initiating the freshmen into University life here. Michigan men do not believe in ex- cessive hazing, and so far this year freshmen have been chided but little by upperclassmen. Michigan men do not believe in deal- ing separately with each individual freshmen in this initiation process. If they did, some 'individuals would be taken advantage of and others would escape all initiation. So, today the freshman has a chance. He and all his classmates .grouped into one body will hold their own against the sophomores in the Fall games. They will meet in friend- ly athletic contest, and a friendly feel- ing will prevade. Freshmen will match their physical prowess and skill with the sophomores. With the conclusion of the games, friendly relations exist again, and sportsmanship is displayed by the winner. If the sophomores lose they will take defeat with a smile. Fresh- men will do likewise if they win, for freshmen in the past have always-done so. Mixing with upperclassmen in the Fall games, gives the freshman a feel- ing of assurance. He feels that he is included in this great University life and is not obscure. The fears of haz- ing which he has carried within him- self since school began will have largely disappeared. The Fall games instill into the freshman spirit, courage, patience, and true sportsmanship. That is the reason why they are worthwhile. A SIGNAL HONOR Michigan may well feel a certain pride in the appointment of Prof. Claude H. Van Tyne to the Sir George Watson lectureship in British uni- versities, as announced in Friday's Daily. This lectureship is one of the highest honors which can fall to any- one in the field of American history, patronized as it is, by H. R. H., the Prince of Wales. Professor Van Tyne has spent a life time in the study of American history. This honor comes as a signal appre- ciation of that effort. WHO ARE CRIMINALS? The conception, prevalent among many, that the average convict is ig- norant, irreligious, and of foreign birth or descent was dealt a body blow by the annual report of Lewis E. Lawes, warden of Sing Sing prison. Of the 1,452 prisoners at that institu- tion, all but seven are members of some religious denomination, and more than two-thirds of them are native Americans. Moreover, nearly half of the inmates had gone to school until the sixth grade, and 67 had re- ceived college degrees. These figures either indicate that the criminals of foreign extraction are surpassing their American brethren in eluding the police, or that the re- sponsibility for the present crime sit- uation rests directly upon the Amer- icans for their criminal activities and indirectly upon them for allowing a criminal mentality to develop among! those who have attended the public achools. When the general rejoicing has sub- sided perhaps there is food for thought in the career of this man; for he was remarkable, no matter what anyone may say. There is al- ways the inclination to blame without reason a man who has committed as many horrible crimes as he did, and the self righteous attitude of the sin-; less individual always moves him to, great gratification and smug joy at his blameless life. There are things to be learned, and many of them, however, before we pass thus lightly over thel career of this criminal. The killer was born in Hell's kitch- en, New York city; a place which is highly flattered by its name. If he ever went to school it was not for long and then in one of the lowest of all, the schools which that fair metropolis can boast. At a comparatively early age he was earning an honest living { by threatening taxicab drivers of' rival companies in order that one group might have a monopoly in cer- tain desirable places. In this pro-, fession it is not the least surprising that he should learn the use of fire- arms. There was no trade or profession open to this man when he reached! maturity except that of crime-and he had no choice. If ever society was responsible for a sorry plight it was responsible for this one, but before long this society placed him in prison for grand larceny. This wasathe first safe place he had' ever been. But the "Kindness to Prisoners" club couldn't stand seeing, a man of his culture confined so they secured his release-aided by a graft seeking governor and a polluted ju- dicial system. Within three years he was again arrested and convicted-after escap- ing several times because witnesses refused to testify against him (New York witnesses value their lives-and he was the killer). This time the . humane gentlemen of the state let him out even sooner-because he was a model prisoner, and hadn't killed anyone for eighteen months-and then AND DRAMA TONIGHT: Comedy Club presents Rol Cooper Megrue's "Tea for Three" hin ines theater at 8:30 o'clock. THE ENGLISH SINGERS A review, by Philip C. Brooks An enthusiastic interpretation of fifteenth century English melodies, a perfection of technique, and an air of pleasant informality combined to make this one of the most enjoyable of eve- nings. The strange characteristic quality of the music was made ex- tremely effective as rendered by these attractive artists. The atmosphere of the cloistered monastery, of the old time inn, of those musical gatherings in the old mansions, was maintained throughout by the careful selection of the num- bers. Motets, with a simple reverence which is only approached by the old English hymns which survive in some churches; madrigals, pleasant lyrics of lovely maidens and their laddies; folk songs, giving a delightful impres- sion of the society of the times; fol- lowed by duets and a trio, a canzonet and a ballet-all were sung with an artistic yet unassuming attitude which could not help but make one like the Singers personally as well as admiring their technique. Collectively and individually, there was such character in their interpre- tation! By remarkably precise enun- ciation, by a nice inflection, by their very facial expressions, they gave a splendid opportunity to enjoy fully the beauty of the songs. One could easily imagine being seated at the table with them in a candle-lit Tudor hall, singing for the pure joy of it. Throughout the program, the Eng- lish singers were actresses and actors of admirable quality. The spirit of the I_ a E i 1 i .i . . l , .

STAWN To The Editor: In addition to your comment on Mr. Stawn's speech delivered in Chicago last week, I wish to give to our Amer- ican friends some real facts concern- ing the present political situation of China, which seems unknown to Mr. Stawn, although he is a very learned lawyer. The right of independence or of liberty of action or, as it is more= generally called, of sovereignty, is by the traditions of international law a fundamental right; and also a state has jurisdiction over all persons and property within its territorial borders. According to this, China should have. I a free hand in dealing with her own affairs. If not, it must be either that international law is "bunk," or that Mr. Stawn's criticism-China's present precarious status is not due to im- perialism or lack 'of tariff autonomy,. to extra-territoriality or to unequal treaties-is "bunk." Another fact I want to call your at- tention seems to be entirely lost to I Mr. Strawn. It might also show how careless Mr. Stawn was in observing the Chinese politics while he was del- egating the United States in China. He says that the war lords are fight- ing for control of the national govern- ment and treasury. Is this true? I should say' not. I am telling you the' truth that the recent war in China is not a fight among the war lords for personal benefits, but it is a real fight for setting China free from the for- eign powers' control. The definite purpose and the very aim of the Can- tonese government to take up this unavoidable and deadly struggle are to turn down the Peking government, so that China will be rebuilt with full beautiful pure English by the gentle- man who, one might say, presided over the group. Not to mention the most attractive numbers, difficult as it is to choose them, would be neglect. So one should speak of the "Dark-eyed Sailor," "The Wassail Song," "The Three Fairies," and "My Phyllis Bids Me Pack Away." Perhaps the chief common character- istic which made these especially table was the manner in which they were sung. All the music was on such a plane that only the rendition could make any stand out from the others. The Italian street cries deserve mention for their vigor. They pro- vided a desirable variation in the pro- gram. And the encore, one of the all- too-few, at the intermission, "The Springtime of the Year," was brilliant by virtue of the exquisite pianissimo, a seemingly impossible tone, which was achieved. * * * "TEA FOR THREE" A review, by Vincent Wall In an article of pure hersey contri- buted to a recent issue of Le Temps, Jules Romaine recommended that for a period of ten years plays dealing with the love theme be prohibited from the French stage; this, of course, may be an unpleasant emphasis of his prejudice. But if it were not for oc- casionl performances of such plays as Roi Cooper Megrue's="Tea for Three" the triangle motive-the husband, the wife and the other, done and under- done since the ancients-would cer- tainly be eternally placed on the in- dex expurgatorius of dramatic ma- terial. It may be true that the play is the obvious combination; that Megrue is not a dramatist of the dimensions of the great God Shaw in the field of social satire; that New York suc- cesses in the hands of amateurs are often fatal. * * * The treatment in spite of this avoids all the banality which seemed inevitable, and by turn- ing on itself in a satire of -the situ- ation became unique in the chronicle of campus dramatics. The farce it- self being a more or less accurate in- terpretation of the acerbities ofI married life required a delicate and subtle analysis, and everywhere the direction of Phyllis Loughton was evi- dent in the well-ordered sequence of! the mechanics. This, however leaves a wide margin of praise for the triangle itself. The.] crisis in the third act was played by Minna Miller-the Glorious Miller whom God and Amy created last year.j I, I, U - -...
