WILSON FUNDS FOR CILEERLEADING No institution of long standing on the campus is in greater need of a definite financial, backing than is the cheerleading squad at the present time. The action of the Student Council in petitioning the Board in Control of Athletics to finance the squad in the future is a reasonable request which, if granted, will answer a certain need. It is no more an obligation of the Council to shoulder the expense in- volved in th maintenance of a cheer- leading squad than it would be to finance the Varsity band. Yet there are definite costs involved if the Uni- versity expects to compete in this re- spect with other members of the Western conference, and these must be met. Besides the practical necessity of a standard uniform for the half-dozen cheerleaders, it is highly desirable that the head cheerleader, at least, be present at out-of-town football games which are attended by hundreds of Michigan students and alumni. Funds for transportation in such cases have never been provided. The Council was responsible for sending a cheer- leader to the Navy game at Baltimore last fall., It does not seeni too much to ask of the Athletic association to provide means for this purpose. Students and alumni appreciate the work of the cheerleaders more and more each year, and it is highly probable that the teams do likewise. The Athletic board is in far better financial condi- tion than the Student Council. It can well afford to give the ptitition seri- ous consideration. GT GENEI AWARDS A few years ago there were few awrds such as those of the Guggen- heim foundation. The gifted and especially capable had to get along as best they could with medals, ribbons, and certificates to help them get along in life. Today. that is changed. There are more and more awards and prizes of a monetary nature for those who qualify. The value resulting to so- ciety from the work of such men as Samuel Chamberlin, the artist, and Dr. Lewi Heilbrunn, the scientist, carried on through such fellowships, is impossible to estimate. villainous assault due to prejudice. There is nothing new in this un- fortunate tragedy where law was for- gotten. It is too frequent an affair in many parts of the South. Hooded mobs, lynchings, and race riots have disgraced the law abiding citizens. They have also forced the cynical statement that it was not for political reasons alone that the southern states are known as "The Solid South." THE CANTONESE MANIFESTO General Pai Tsung-Hsi, Cantonese commander, has apparently allowed himself to be overcome with enthus- iasm over the recent Nationalist vic- tory in declaring that Shanghai "will become not only a strong base for Chinese nationalism but for a world revolution." Although that, commercial city may become the center of the Chinese na- tional movement, the remark about its influence on the world is hardly more than an empty gesture, a flour- ish which often accompanies the manifestoes of victorious parties. The Cantonese have enough serious busi- ness ahead of them to gain control of the rest of China and to look to its political needs without venturing abroad. If the rest of the manifesto may be taken into consideration. General Pai little intends to act seriously on this portion of his statement even in China. In the following paragraph, in fact, he insists that the "people disti'nguish between attacking im- perialism and attacking foreigners." Likewise, he urges arbitration in or- der to avoid strikes, and deprecates- exorbitant demands which would close the factories altogether. Such discretion is in marked con trast to the passive consent which the Cantonese troops gave to the native riots in Hankow at the first of the year. It-can very likely be attributed to the presence of the foreign forces which are now. protecting their na- tionals in Shanghai. RECIPROCITY Premier King, representing the government of Canada, has declared that the dominion would welcome negotiations toward a reciprocal trade treaty with the United States, the main reasons being the economic benefits which would result in the Maritime provinces. Premier King believes that the obstacles which pre- vented the reaching of an agreement fifteen years ago have largely disap- peared and that it would be of mutual advantage to maintain reciprocity. Sentiment a decade and a half ago was strong enough to put the agree- ment through Congress. It is un- likely that this feeling has abated. However, changed conditions may require a new treaty being drawn up, that of President Taft and Premier Laurier being no longer applicable. Advantages of a reciprocity agree- ment would be mutual. Further, with the new diplomatic channels opened 'recently between the two "countries," a treaty could be much more efficient- ly negotiated than it could have been fifteen years ago. Ii BOARD CHANGES RULE ON "CAMPUS OPINION" Retraction of the ruling re- quiring that all letters appearing in the "Campus Opinion" column{ of The Daily carry the full name of the writer, was made yester- day by the Board in Control of Student Publications. All com- munications in the future must be signed as evidence of good faith, but the nanAe of the writer will be considered confidential on request. Either initials or pseudonyms may be used in the place of the name.I The resolution of the Board permitting this change in policy is as follows: Resolved, that hereafter com- munications may be published I in The Michigan Daily without the names of the writers, pro- . vided:- 1. The true name of the writer shall be submitted to The Daily with the communication: 2. The communication shall be personally read by both the Man- aging Editor and the Editor: 3. A certificate, signed by both . the Managing Editor and the Editor, shall be attached to the original manuscript, stating that they have both read the com- communication and believe its publication would be advisable in view of the general interests3 of the University: 4. The original manuscript so certified shall be preserved in T.OASTED ROlL sTUD ENT COUNCIL WORKS It was a busy night for the Student council. First they issued an S. 0. S. to the Athletic association for some financial aid for the cheerleaders. In the past the cheerleader pyovided his own uniform, but last year the coun- cil took up the work, contrary to their custom. But they found that all this tumbling around in the Ferry field mud and also on the basketball floor was rather hard on the suits, and so they want to pass the bills on to some-I body else now. After they got that settled, they de- cided to spend the money they may save on that deal, on enrolling Mich- igan in the National Student Federa- tion of America. At last this great University has joined the ranks of those who are setting out to reform.. well, whatever it is.{ * * *#-1 But the meeting still had to act on the pitiful pleas of the Business Ad. seniors in the Literary college, who want to have the "B.A." removed from theiT canes. If they're wide awake enough to be ashamed of the Bus. Ad. part of it, we're all for granting the request. THE HIDDEN THEATERS I Sarah Caswell Angell auditorium is to be used by the Rockford Players when they show here in a few weeks. University Theater is being made out of University hall. Mimes is always hauling up the curtain on another pro- duction in Mimes theater. This is get- ting to be the theatrical center of Michigan. * * * Right now we have more legitimate theaters than Detroit, even if you let them count the New Detroit Opera House-which, translated from the Indian, means "Opera house when betroit was New." It's getting to be that each actor has to have his own theater. Pretty soon Comedy club will be taking over the Rae to sound the trumpets in. * * * Maybe if the B. and G. boys would hunt around a little bit they could uncover a few more theaters hidden away in the rafters of some of these buildings. * * * )DID SHELLEY HAVE IT? We were .startled when we picked up The Daily yesterday morning. It takes more than a story about a riot, or about the Student council doing something to surprise us. But when we read that Shelley had the spirit of youth, we were practically knocked out of our chair. * * * Did you know that Shelley had the spirit of youth? Answer frankly, now, and admit you didn't know that awe- inspiring fact. It certainly pays to read the newspapers. * * * Next they will be telling us that Shakespeare drank coffee. Or that the "Alumnus" has the spirit of youth. GUESS AT ANOTHER 1. What is the "Spirit of Youth?" 2. Is "McFadden's Flats" a true story? 3. What have thq following in com- mon: (a) Shelley; (b) the Ann Arbor police; (c) freshmen. 4. Which is the littlest "Little Theater" on this campus? 5. Why did 1,000 people attend the boxing show? TUXEDOS TO BE IN STYLE AT T HE MILITARY DANCE * We predict a great drop in the sale of Military Ball tickets as a result of the order from the War department that Tuxedos are preferred ror social affairs. Most of the R. O. T. C. natur- ally think they look best in a uniform -or they wouldn't be in the organiza- tion. * * * At any rate, the Military Ball com- mittee has announced that Tuxedos are preferred. So now civilians won't, feel like plain-clothes men at a fancy- dress ball. * * * Music and Drama TONIGHT: The Mimes present "To the Ladies!" by George Kaufman and Marc Connelly in the Mimes theater at 8:30 o'clock. * * S "TO THE LADIES!" A review, by Smith H. Cady, Jr. There are those of us who see in Mimes' recent dramatic revivals not only an improvement in the talent available for the Union operas, but the beginning of a real undergraduate stock company, presenting plays reg- ularly at the Mimes theater-event- ually, we hope, a new one every week. Before this goal can be reached it will, of course, be necessary to en- large the producing company, for obviously no student will have time to memorize the lines necessary to play the lead in every show. That the campus is beginning to appreciate such performances as "To the Ladies!" is shown by the excel- lent houses the show has drawn even during the early part of the week. After the sometimes good, but event- ually monotonous offerings of the Arc and Maj, a good show, even though a trifle amateurishly done, is a welcome relief. Regular shows of this nature j would, it seems, provide practice for more potential stars of the opera, be financially profitable for the Union, and most important of all, would pro- vide the entertainment-seeking cam- pus a source of amusement more profitable and more varied than the eternal movie. May the venture pros- I - As for "To the Ladies! "-the excel- lent work of the supporting cast was the most noticeable feature of the play. Denton, Stewart, King, Kelly and Ramsay added materially to the success of the show through their handling of the minor roles. Living- stone, once more playing the lead, was screamingly funny, but he over- did the burlesque of his part at times. "Bud" Lewis, although far from a finished "actress", showed great im- provement over "her" work in "R. U. R. And to look behind the scenes-due credit must be given to E. Mortimer Shuter, both for Mimes sudden com- mendable activity and for the general worth of the shows. "HE WHO GETS §LAPPED" Play Productions, in the slightly encouraged surroundings of their new- ly-established University theater--its still in University hall-will offer the translated version of Lonid An- dreyev's rather famous play-"He Who Gets Slapped"-on Wednesday and Thursday of next week. This will mark the third of the productions given by that unit since last fall, and will be interesting to the campus play- goer for sundry reasons, one of them in particular being that the lead of "He" will be taken by David Owen, the director of the organization. The play itself was the one which managed to put the. Theater Guild on a paying basis for the first time back in 1919 when the actors walked out. It has since been done for the movies. Rich- ard Woellhaf is technical director and stage manager for the production, and all scenery has been built by members of Play Productions. The costumes have been designed after the original ones which were used by the Theater Guild company. The cast is as fol- lows: Consuelo ................Leone Lee Mancini ................James Dah He ..... ..............Daid Owen Briquet . ..............Donald Gary Zinida . ..............Miriam Selker Alfred Bezano ........Edward Deane A Gentleman..........Robert Wetzel Baron Reynard........Boice Gross Jackson ............

Joseph Zwerdling "THE NIGHTINGALE" The dramatization of Jenny Lind's brief romance has at last been ac- complished by Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse, and with some music by Armand Vecsey has been turned over to the musical comedy stage with Eleanor Painter in the role of the Swedish Nightingale-of course that being the name part. This production which was tried out with Peggy Wood early in the season, played with Miss Painter for some' time- in New York at the Jolson theater, and is now on the road with Stanley Lupino and Thomas Wise still capably assisting in their original parts. The Messrs. Shubert will bring it to the Cass thea- ter on Monday night, March 28, di- rectly from its New York engage- ment. PLEASE DON'T MAKE PATH S ON THE CAMPUS 'wel any I ea~ Writ .
