Moreover, unless the Pekin troops are organized much better than recently, the Cantonese will very likely be suc- cessful. As it concerns the affairs of for-1 eigners in China, the fall of Shang- hai is also important. The immenli- ate problem, of course, is the protec- tion of the nationals located in the foreign settlements. The easy sur- render of the city was quite fortunate in this regard. With more than 20,- 000 troops of different world powers present, and with a promise of co- operation by the commanding Can- tonese general, the situation should be handled successfully. PRECEDENT Graduating classes in the future will do well to regard as a precedent the recent action of the senior literary class in making several class offices appointive by the advisory committee instead of the customary election. The change this year, though purely accidental--when an election was made impossible due to the fact that only a few members of the class at- tended the recent meeting, is worthy of becoming a permanent syst'em. The offices of alumni secretary, historian, poet, orator, and prophet, are of .sufficient importance in them- selves to be removed from the possi- b: ity of political influence. Popular- ity ( student should not be a factor in the selection of such officers. The advisory committee, appointed by the class president, is, without question, the best qualified body to choose these five officers. A STRONG BID In a desperate attempt to regain first rank in the divorce granting business, Nevada, and Reno in par- ticular, has just made a strong bid for future trade by reducing the res- idence requirement from six to three months. The reason. is that Mexico and Paris have been making heavy inroads in Reno's pet business. But no doubt this may be attributed to the fact that the divorce seekers tire of Reno after the fourth or fifth trip. It probably would be quite shocking to some of those individuals comment- in upuon "The Crime of Getting Caught" if the opinion were expressed that a crime Is a crime whether ob- served or not. President Coolidge's hand may get injured from too much handshaking but his paw never gets too tired from from too much talking. Now that the spring elections are not far off, smoking establishments are laying in extra quantities of cigars. What has become of the man who pr dicted the latest spring since the ,adinistration of James K. Polk? CAMPUS OPINION ! Annonymous communications will be disregarded.

PHELPS TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1927 THE HONOR SYSTEM A few years ago the honor system in colleges and universities was uni- versally applauded, praised, and ad- vocated by faculty and students alike 'as a distin4 advance i educatioial method. 'lre adoption of the honor system jvas reported to be the panacea for the ills of the educational system, a curative 'which would at once re- store the ancient close association be- tween faculty and student. As a result the system was adopted in many institutions of higher learn- ing, under alt kinds of conditions, in all sections. of the country, and by homogenous and hetergoenous student bodies. In many cases- the system proved distinctly successful, in a few others it was abandoned after brief trials which were/unfair in that the system was not modified to meet lo- cal conditions or that deep seated prejudices were too strong to be over- come in the experimental period. At the present time there is conse- quently some. discredit cast upon the honor system due to these several 'failures. This is unfortunate. Wher- ever the system has been fairly put on ial and ,where faculty and stu- dents have co-operated to make it work, the honor system has proved distinctly successful, practical, and workable, a definite improvement in college and university administration. More specifically, the honor system in our own engineering college works admirably. Beginning with this issue The Daily will publish' a report on the honor system written by Prof. A. D. Moore, of the engineering college, national president of Tau Beta Pi. Professor Moore's report will give an unbiased account of the honor system as it functions tcday in the colleges and Universities of the country. The Daily favor the honor system and it is in the furtherance of the honor system that this report of an author- ity is published. SHANGHAI FALLS SPECIAL TEST FOR REV.

HARRY LAUDER, COMEDIAN I For something like the fifth con- secutive season, Mr. Harry Lauder is conducting a farewell tour of Amer- ica. Mr. Lauder, probably ranking with Elsie Janis and Will Rogers as one of the three greatest.one-person acts in big time variety is booked for the Whitney theater on Friday, April 1, for an evening performance only. Everaeager to bring cheer thee American public, especially if there's money in it, he is doing his usual song and comedy business with the wise chatter concerning his thrifty countrymen on the side. He has just returned from India, China, and the Straights Settlements and is playing the vaudeville houses of the east and middle west. The Scotch "burr," tne kilties and the trick cane are still his stock and trade-just as Mr. Rogers uses his chewing gum and larit- and the effect is much the same: a patter of wise-cracks and occasional renditions of the old favorites that he has popularized during his career. THE YPSILANTI PLAYERS Tie lpt production of the season! of the Ypsilanti Players from the week of March 21 (beginning last night) until the week of April 4. Tickets will be good for the same day of the week as before.

She will appear in Detroit in a short time, following the most suc- cessful activities of the Chicago (.ivic in the field of grand opera in their re cent performances of 'Tosca," "The Jewels of the Madonna," "Aida" and "The Resurrection." A.:*A* THE FACULTY CONCERT A review, by Morton B. Icove. One entered Hill auditorium Sun- day aftenoon for the tenth concert of the Faculty Concert Series op- pressed by the dreariness of the day. One left Hill auditorium, having heard a program of Brahms and Franck at thei- somberest ,with this feeling un- alle'iated. Franck's Quintet in F Minor for string! quintet and piano, the last number to be played, was by far the most interesting. The first move- ment, Molto moderato-Allegro, begin- ning rather feebly, developed into a pleasing intermingling of two themes. A religious spirit dominated the mooi of this as well as the succeedin; movenents. The second movement afforded Albert Lockwood, at the pianoaa chance to consummate the themes that were first presented by the, first violin and then carried on by the string quartet. The music was soft, and' lolling and for a moment one' felt "the temptation to close his eyes and dream of a Ganeden where proh biiti laws are unknown and life is relatively unencumbered. If one did allow himself such a pleasure, the dream was short-lived as the fire and spiritof the third movement quicklyj brought him to a realization of his4 earthliness. Pauline Kaiser, on the viola, ,cquitted herself admirably, playing with a feeling and sympathyI that would be a compliment to any artist. In general the interpretation of this number -s'lowed an admirable feeling for balance and nuances of beauty. The composition as .a whole was a bit long but made Ap for that in its ex- ceptional lyrical quality After the conert ope could well realize the veracity of those critics who hold this piece as the finest of all Franck's chamber compositions. The rendition of the first number on the program, Brahm's Horn Trio in E flat, also lyrical in spirit, was disappointing. The trio composed of I Maud. Okkelberg, pianist; Samuel P. Lockwood, violinist; and Perry Mason, on the horn, seemed to lack the en- semble spirit. True, the piece does not allow of a varied display of abil- ity, such=as it is, it failed to inspire j You will get real, efficient TYPEWRITER SERVICE at iuers Pen Shop - a Sled Repairing ASpecialty Excellent late serial number Underwood, L.

This is especially true in frequent articlest featuring the great automobile ex- pansion of the state. However, at no time within my three years of residence; at #gin Arbor do I remember having read of any discussions on Michigan's, future natural resources. It so happens that in the last two years, at least, our state has come forth mightily in the production of petroleum, from a very minute pro- ducer to a consistently increasing pro- ducer. This should be of interest, especially, because of the fact that our increased production has come from an exceptionally near area, Sagi- naw. Since August 1925, when the first well was drilled, one hundred and twenty-five wells have produced oil. The production is gradually on the increase, several new wells being sunk every week. Considering the fact that Michigan heretofore has been a rather insignificant producer of this most important resource, it naturally is important to, watch care-I fully this Saginaw oil province. Wells in this area have an initial production varying from ten to a hundred barrels, and the production may be increased by artificial appliances. More than that, the oil is of an ex- ceptionally high grade, containing The Trainm School For Jewish Social Work Offers a fifteen months' course of study in Jewish Family Case Work, Child Care, Community Centers, Federations and Health Centers.
