Night Editor-STANFORD N. PHELPS
are now functioning in the stricken
areas. The Cabinet has passed spe-
cial measures for general relief. The
Japanese are carrying on, rebuilding
and building for the future.
PoTs
Every year in the springwhen the
season seems to call for greater per-
sonal freedom, a considerable number
of freshmen labor under the delusion
that the "pots" need be worn no long-
er and that the traditional head cov-
ering may be easily dispensed with or
forgotten when not under the eye
of the vigilantes.
It seems painfully unnecessary to
point out that the "pots" should be
worn until Cap Night when they can
be discarded with due ceremony into
the traditional bonfire when the bar-
rage of speeches has lifted. Lately
the "pots" have been conspicuous for
their absence, tritely speaking, and
the Student council might well look
into the matter.
THE CLARION
In the, merchandising convention
now being held at Detroit the advan-
tage of advertising in the settlement
of credit problems and credit com-
petition was stressed at great length
and sensible advertising was proposed
1 as the cure for credit ills that now
4re attacking big business.
Advertising has come to take its
place in tle world of business and
each day it is coming more and more
to be accepted as a profession and to
raise its standards to the standards
of professional activity. Gone are the
days when advertising was the "bally-
hoo" of big business, when it was
merely the "catch-all" of trad~e and
was successful in relation to its abil-
ity to make a huge profit by the use of
high pressure methods. Now it is the
means of building reputation and con-
fidence in its integrity. Companies
stand behind every statement and
make every statement stand behind
them. Advertising is the co-partner
of big business, it is the link between
the manufacturer and the market. As
such, its words are of importance and
it has much to say on the settlement
of pioblems. It is an integral part
of trade.
UNIFIED FARM SAiLES
Robert F. Wagner, United States
senator from New York, believes that
there should be instituted some agency
for the purpose of unifying the buy-
ing and selling of the farmer. He
believes that the agency should be
strong enough financially to preclude
any necessity of selling at a sacrifice.
Last of all, he states that the profits
of the so-called middleman should be
cut down, and transportation cheapen-
ed by unification. On the whole,
Senator Wagner is in favor of a strong
monopoly of the food stuffs of the
country.
In the first place the formation of
such a combination would be a direct
antithisis of the spirit of the Anti-
Trust law if it could evade its letter.
If the agency were strong enough to
withhold supply until a rise in price,
the change in price level would ma-
terially change the natural workings
of the business cycle, for the worse.
As for the statement in favor of cut-
ting down the profits of the middle-
man, this actually sounds silly. If the
profits were cut down, the middle-
men would drop out of the business
and all the risk would immediately
fall upon the farmer. When this hap-
pens we may all expect a great de-
crease in our farm production, for if
the farmer had to assume the risk for
his crop he could not afford to grow
it. In the case of transportation
costs, they can not be very excessive
or the railroads would make more
money. If Senator Wagner suggests
an agency in place of the middle-
men, his point is not clear. It is like
substituting a hat pin for a plain pin
in order to prick a balloon.
TOASTED ROLL
CARTA
The University's Magna Carta was
issued yesterday. It admits that
"theater owners should realize that a
University town is not the same as
other types of cities." We agree.
Other towns are roligher and more
disorderly.
* * *
It is this document that ushers in,
the beginning of a new era. No longer
will there be riots and rushes. No1
longer will some students go to the;
hospital and others to, the jail. Therej
will be peace and calm. IF......and
there it comes, again, that "IF." If,
Butterfield swings wide the gates to;
celebrate big victories WITH his
customers, instead of AGAINST them.
* * *
One section of the Magna Carta asks
that students be more orderly in gain-
ing entrance to the second shows:
"the 8:40 rush." But the joke is that
the rushes are no more! The entrance
to the Maj. Thursday night at 8:40
looked like the crowd that would
gather for a philosophy lecture if
roll weren't going to be taken. By
the time any resolution gets published
around here it is a month out of date.
* * *
President Little favors free shows
for students when big victories are
being celebrated. If lie brings them
-about, we hope lie gets a chance to get
in himself. We'll see that they save
you a seat in the front row at the
first free show, Prexy.

After all, the most important part
of a show is the book. It is true that
in musical comedy there need ever
be a well tempered juxtaposition of
song-and-dance with the humor and
romance of the book, but without the
latter element it would be impossible
to ever create a success in dollars
and cents.

twenty-third annual Junior Girls'

A FAIR STATEMENT
The statement issued on theaterl
rushes by President Clarence Cook
Little, Joseph A. Bursley, dean of stu-
dents, and three police commissioners
gives a fair and complete summary of
the conditions concerning the disturb-
ance of Monday night, as well as of pre-
vious ones, and makes helpful sug-
gestions toward bettering relations
between the' students and the local
theaters.
After reviewing the duties and at-
titudes which should be observed by
the police and the students, its authors
endorse the idea of "free" shows folb
lowing important athletic victories as
a policy "to the advantage of all con-
cerned." It is also wisely suggested
that "while negotiations are being
carried on and after they have been
completed, the students will be ex-
pected to act in a reasonable and law
abiding manner." Any conduct con-
trary to this spirit, or detrimental to
the rights and interests of the thea-
ters will distinctly hamper the efforts
of the commniittee now seeking to set-
tle the difficulties.
Likewise, attention is called to the
inexcusable crowding and jostling by
which students attempt to enter the
theaters at general performances. The
formation of a double line is advocated
as a substitute of "a pushing mob
blocking all sidewalk traffic at the en-
trance of the theater." There is no
reason why students should not co-
operate in this respect. Their more
orderly action would indicate a better
spirit and would be a safeguard against
injuries now attendant to the pressure
of the mob.
JAPAN\ESE EARTHQUAKES
The rapidly .rising death list due
to the recent earthquake which shook
the Mineyama district and others of
Japan. brings home again the tre-.
mendou danger to life and property
under' which. many Japanese live.
Hardly a year goes by without some
major disaster of this sort, necessitat-
ing the rebuilding of homes, commer-
cial establishments, and the expondi-
ture of vast sums for relief purposes.
And were it not for the courageous
character of the ruined Japanese in
the devasted districts the effects of
the earthquakes would be far greater'
than it usually is.
Each time the Japanese rebuild,
local theaters. Maybe he would fig- I
ure they were worth going to if he
got a pass.

it. U. R,,
A review, by )Ialverua Kennedy.
Practically everything haG been
said about this show, that can be. But
it seemed to take the campus a week
to find out that the critics were really
right in their praise. At the present
it could last into next week if "Eight
'till Eight" didn't interfere.
And "R. U. R." really is exceptional
entertainment. As a drama it is of
the best, and contains a pleasant con-
tradiction of satire and melodrama.
The only thing that might be criticized
here is the epilogue which doesn't
seem to belong. After all it is-an an-
tique and obsolete device, and seems
hardly necessary.
The acting and direction contrib-
ute most to the success. Charles
Livingstone is easily the best juvenile
the campus has seen in years, and
Robert Wetzel the best in character
work. Both were efficient last night,
