Smith Harvey Talcott Nance Solimon Harold Utley Florence Widmaier FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1926 three questions for a midsemester inS his course two days before the ex- amination date again surprised his class yesterday when he returned the "blue books." The experiment proved that some students will receive D's and E's re- gardless of method. Of the 71 who took the test, 17 received D's and 4 E's. Two graduate students were list- ed under the E grades and four under the D grades. The purpose of the particular meth- od of giving a test, was to make the students rely more on reasoning andj their ability to present their material in a well organized form. From this. angle the examination was apparently a success, for the greater number of students reverted to the reasoning and- organization process. Those who stressed the memory pyocess were the ones who failed to register a high grade. All the professor required was that the students answer the questions on test day without the use of books or notes. The questions had to be in- clusive, but many it seems are not capable of presenting inclusive an- swers. MISLEADING TITLES The past ten yeras have witnessed the formation throughout the country of inumerable organizations under misleading names for the furthering of some ulterior purpose. Propaganda promoters now disguise their activities under the altruistic sounding titles of this or that "association," "federa- tion," "league" or "society." These misnomers give no indication of their' hypocritical nature. Many masquerade under Greek! names, religious mottoes, and impres- sive emblems. Everything from sell- ing books to advocating birth control is carried on by these organizations. They are not illegal, they are only 1 hypocritical, and it is not always easyI to differentiate between the really altruistic ones and those which only seem to be.

On Friday night, January 7, Mr. Will Rogers, dean of American com- edians, will appear for one night in Hill auditorium under the auspices of the Michigan Theater league. This is the .second appearance of Mr. Roger's in Ann 4rbor, and is the first event of importance in the dramatic calendar after the holidays. The Roger's technique is well known. A lariat, some gum and a rapid fire patter of remarks that have convulsed Main street and Broadway are the only accessories for the eve- ning's entertainment. But he has created an extraordinary public for himself and a unique position on the American stage. !![ 1N l!!!1I t!!I l!!Iggggggilt illilil!!till lili11llllillitllli i1111liilill1 ai 11111It ltltili111timi mt;:ttigmttlM --- Graham ook Stores Wish you = A Happy Christmas' -CG w7 Chas W. raha r _.HW H H H H H H H H H H H l BUGGIES POPULAR ZT A I f ! ___ _ - .

Factory H at Store 617 Packard St. Phone 7415 will leave this afternoon to present "Front Page Stuff'" to the thousands of alumni and friends of the Univer- sity, who would not otherwise have an opportunity to see their favorite annual college opera. The public and the alumni, when seeing the show, re- ceive the spiritual adyertisement that a college performance affords. But few people sitting in tle audience realize the sacrifice that the students, singing and dancing before them, are making in order that they might be entertained and be possessed of a finer feeling toward Michigan. AWhen Christmas recess is about to be realized, and the vast majority of students are about to return home for the rest and enjoyment that their homes afford, these 100 students start out on a 3,000 mile itinerary. They spend their vacation in Pullman cars and on stages. However, the benefits and experiences of the trip compen- sate them to some degree, but never to the extent of substituting a vaca- tion at home. Let the alumni and students re- alize what sacrifices the Opera com- pany is making. Let us wish them God speed on the longest and greatest of opera trips. A BANDIT MAY BE HURT Commissioner Rutledge of the De- troit police department has decided that crime must stop, even if police have to shoot the bandits. There is no apparent reason for this drastic step, it seems, except that there have been 212 murders in Detroit this year. Rutledge is very obviously inhu- mane. It has long been a recognized principle among Detroit policemen that the bandit must be protected from injury, and that to shoot was only a very extreme measure to be used on rare occasions. It may be that the full consequences of the action are not realized. Many of Detroit's best bandits are likely to be shot down in cold blood, thus seriously hindering the Motor City's third industry of banditry. The mortality rate is bound to rise, and bandit insurance will be refused, working inveterate hardship' on the poor working-bandit just be- fore Christmas., The sudden revulsion in the policy' of the Detroit police department, though, is seriously very encouraging. Less symnathy with the lawless ele- sonal opinions. If they were not present, I wish to remind them thatj the write-up in The Daily was by a student to fellow students. It would hardly be in keeping with the aims of the writer who wishes to stir un- dergraduates from an apathetic, routine life to include in the report I conservative and considerate state- ments of the President. It is true that Dr. Little satirized the present methods of education. He apparently felt that nothing but a word-cartoon could forcefully portray to the students the weaknesses of the present system. The report, however, described the talk as heartless ridi- cule. In heavy-type headlines. was* written "Blame Professors" as though the President were launching a per- sonal attack against his faculty. TheI article ,failed to mention that more than once did Dr. Little stop to re- mind the audience that the picture he was drawing was an exaggeration; it made no mention of the statement that present professors are not re- sponsible for their methods because they are themselves the product of a faulty system; also, it failed to make, clear that the President not only recognized the existence of members on the faculty who do understand stu- dents but with respect for them and with faith in their .contributicn to a system in which faculty and students would have better understanding of one another, he based one of his mainI constructive points on faculty co- operation ,the suggestion of institu- ing small dormitory units with re- siding instructors.j Therefore, although I speak merely, from hearing the talk and not from subsequent personal interview, I wish again to state that to me President Little's address at the Student Con- ference was not the unbalanced ridi- cule that was indicated by The Daily.; I believe that the faculty have every opportunity to prove that they are, not sitting on stones of self-satisfac-! tion by the road of progress, and thatI contributions which they can make! will be gratefully received by both President and student body who, after all, are still searching for solutions! of present problems.t Will Rogers, Comedian At present he is on tour, and be-I sides a New York performance on the eighth, is working in the Middle West and East. In addition to Mr. Rogers, January will bring an unusual number of celebrities-press favorites, that is. Marion Talley will sing in the Choral Union series, while Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn are scheduled to ap- pear early in the month at the Whit- ney. This will be Talley's first appear- ance, and Ann Arbor is rather for- tunate to obtain a concert engagement so early in her phenominal career. The Denishawns have been here sev- eral times before, and are always a major attraction. In the local theater, Mimes, the Play Production classes and Comedy Club are all planning dramatic ven- tures. Their respective vehicles will be announced later. And incidentally Mr. Shuter, as soon as he recovers from the opera will begin work on the "State Street Follies," a long planned and long delayed production that has been in the embryo for over a year. THE SILENT DRAIER Last night in Hill auditorium, Mr. Anspacher discussed at length the popular appeal of the movies-the usual harangue on the movies, their, influence . . .'This was another of the innumerable attempts to pigeon hole the problem, and without doubt was one of the most effective classifica- tions of certain aspects of America's fourth largest industry In Detroit at the Shubert-Lafayette theater for the past week, the Vita- phone (the Detroit premiere of the latest instrument to produce bigger and better movies) is being presented in combination with the "Don Juan," latest screen offering of Mr. John Barrymore, scion of that amiable family of stage and screen celebreties, and now ranking with La Pickford, Chaplin, Fairbanks, and the other mil- lion dollar personalities. And later Mr. McIntyre will bring this picture to the Whitney, along with "Ben Hur" and other major attractions of the silent dramer. When the fact is noted that "The Big Parade" proved well-nigh as popular with theater critics as "What Price Glory" and grossed considerably more-although this is hardly to be taken into account-the popularity and value of some of these attractions is rather astounding. And it means but one thing; recognition of the artistic and box-office value of the movies by legitimate enterprises. It has long been admitted that Holly- wood has been offering greater op- portunities than Broadway for the profession, and this leasing of legiti- PLEASE DON'T MAKE PATHS ON THE CAMPUS Ascadem To you, whose business helps make ours successful- We express our warpn appreciation and cordially :ish you erry Christmas and A Happy and Prosperous New Year. 0.
