OUR ANNUAL STRIKE I i i GAITED ROLL I PROFSSRS LERN .rHE Tonight's the night. If any pro- fessor goes to class tomorrow with any self-respect at all, it will be be- cause he didn't hear what the Grid- iron knights thought of him. If Wildo Abbot, toastmaster wants to get put on probation, as he said in an interview yesterday, we suggest that he draw an illustration for a Junior Girls' Play advertisement. Speeches will all contain "little." Music and Drama .t r- The coal strike isnupon us again. An agreement of one or two years seems to be the most that either thel miners or the operators are wiling to make, and the result is our per- iodical economic upheaval called thet bituminous strike. On one side are aligned the organized forces of cap- ital, and on the other the equally well organized forces of labor, and the tie-up generally continues until coal becomes scarce, persons become will- ing to pay high prices for it, and thej operators, at the higher prices they receive, can afford to meet the miners' demands. A strike always involves a loss f somewhere. The periodical spasms that occur in the coal industry can mean but one thing-that something is wrong with the industry. The trouble does not even seem to lie very deeply, in this particular line; for it is an axiom that there are approxi- mately a third more men engaged in the mines than are necessary to pro- duce the coal used. In other words, every producer of coal is carrying a dead weight of one- third of a man in addition to himself. Even the wildest demands of the oper- ators do not propose to reduce wages one-third, and if this extra dead weight were weeded from the industry a great step would be taken toward a solution of the difficulties. If each average miner could work a full year, instead of two-thirds, as at present, he could afford to take slightly less and still be ahead in the end. Perhaps the mine operators are wrong in attempting to reduce the wages. It is certain that any strike is a strain on our econpmic structure and resources, when half a million men become unproductive. The solu- tion, wherever it lies ,sliould be reached as soon as possible, and if it involves reducing the number of mine laborers by one-third, that course should be followed as readily as any other.

M. 0. C.'s will meet tonight in the Union to engage in the traditional razzfest in which fun will be poked at almost every man or institution worthy of the honor. The banquet provides a single outlet for those connected with the Univerity'to say what they think without danger of it coming back to them. Nothing; is published. - The Gridiron Knights' banquet is one of the few campus functions without the usual "hokum" in its makeup. As such it is unique and merits the patronage it enjoys among those whose opinions really count for some- thing. QUESTIONABLE AIDS Since the marine subsidy bill failed to pass Congress three years ago, the Shipping board has endeavored to advance the interests of the American merchant rmarine in various indirect ways. In one of its more recent pro- posals, it has suggested that Amer- ilan shipping be allowed to handle the transport service of the army, the navy, and the Panama canal. Though not extensive, this change would like- ly aid the country's marine by in- creasing its operations. Serious objections to the plan, how- ever, have- been raised on behalf of the navy department on the grounds that control by any other group than itself might become a menace to its activities. While part of the army and navy transport service might beI supplied by outside operators as they have been during emergencies, the ob- jection against a separation of the entire system seems justified. Rather than endanger the machinery of na- tional defense, the Shipping board might seek other indirect aids which would prove as valuable, if not more so, to American shipping. LITTLE PROGRESS Though its assembly was a move toward freeing world powers from the economic burden of armaments and establishing world peace, the dis- armament conference now in session at Geneva has made little appreciable advance since it convened two weeks ago. _EXPEL--DON'T BANIShI To The Editor: Prof. A. D. Moore's article in Fri- t day's Daily has brought to light an t issue, the solution of which I have been patiently wa~ting for. It con- cerns the publication of the names of the violators of the Honor Code. Professor Moore admits that the point is debatable, and yet "if the guilty one has been convicted under an Hon- or System that has failed to build up a general system of student honor,... then the student body has no right to use so drastic a punishment as pub- lishing of the facts amounts to." But if "all newcomers are made acquaint- I ed with the prevailing spirit......the violator has not the least right to ask for or expect clemency."....because "his fellow students are playing the l game squarely and they have every right to know of those who do not." I will not suggest that "his fellows" are not all playing the game, nor would I suggest that ignorance of the Code should not to some degree ex- onerate the offense, but it seems de- cidedly unfair and unjust to the in- dividual, and injudicious of those who impose the punishment that the name of the culprit should be published as a warning when making known the fact of the punishment without at- tributing it to an individual would have the same effect. The duty of the college is to pro- mote the welfare of its student body, as a class, and as individuals. When the offender has erred, the class shares this responsibility to protect itself, to protect the college. But punishment, in the moral sense in which it is applied to the Honor Code, is not to revenge and destroy-it is to protect and correct. The ultimate end, therefore, is to expel, not to banish. -L.

P * * * STUDENT STICKER TICKET SWF4EPING VICTORY SEEN As we go to press, no definite elec- tion results have come into the Stu- dents' Sticker Ticket campaign head- quarters, but officials were confident that the Student party had carried the field. * * * Gargoyle is definitely known to have swept the city as garbage collector. Timothy Hay, running for mayor, did not appear worried last night when interviewed by this newspaper. "I know that I carried the sixth ward, easily," he said. "That is the profes- sors' stronghold, and they're all sore at Campbell because he doesn't get them higher salaries, so they won't vote for him. And as for the local Oil King, well, they all have cars." k " Estimates of the majority to be piled up by the student ticket vary from 10,000 to 100,000, depending upon who counts the votes. * * "If I become mayor," said Hay last night, "the first thing I will do is tell ithe police to stop nailing 'no parking' signs up on trees, as officers of the law ought to help the state conserva- tion department in prolonging the life of our monarchs of the forest." * * s ROLLS ENTERS CANDIDATE FOR WO1E N'S LEAGUE POST "Nelly," star contributor to ROLLS, has been entered in the race for the presidency of the Women's league, politicians announced last night. "I don't know why they need a president," Nelly admitted, "but I am willing to run, if it means a swell office in the new league buildig." * * * STABLE MAGNATES PROTEST AS CO-EDS LOSE HORSES Dear Tim-Protest has been voiced by the local riding stable magnates against the recent tendency of co- eds to lose their horses. The equine managers do not mind losing co-eds but a horse is worth considerable money it is pointed out, and can't easily be replaced. "Last Saturday," Guy Mulliso re- ports, "Half a dozen co-eds took out half a dozen of our prize beasts at 4 in the afternoon and didn't get them back until almost 10 o'clock at night' -far past the horses' bed time. It seems they lost themselves in te country aid made tile horses walk home." The managers of the Kentucky stables, when interviewed by a spe- cial Rolls correspondent, said "The bolt has not yet struck us but we fea' it day by day. All our horses are es- sentially home-loving beasts, and the co-eds are a bad influence." ' , Kernel. STILL IN COUNCIL RACE 1 Although the campaign to elect stu- dents to Ann Arbor's best offices has1 interfered considerably with our elec-f tioneering for the council job, we are still in the race. , , If elected we promise to do some-1 thing about this system in the library, where they call in all books a weekt before vacation starts, on the grounds that no books must be held out overf vacation. * * * At the only times during the year that a student wants to study, theyt pull in the books, and he flunks thel midsenesters, and finals. * * , TONIGHT: "Jose", will be pre- sented under the auspices of La So- cledad Espagnol at 7:30 o'clock in l1ll auditorium. "ANNA CHRISTIE" God loved Co.edy Club, and "The= Trumpet Shall Sound" became a most prosperous venture in spite of all manner of doubts cast in its face. Al- I most at the same time Play Produc- tion and Direction played to a prac- tical capacity in the new born Uni- versity theater, and at least a revival is warranted, if the production is not too cumbersome to be re-assembled. All of which goes to prove that the dramatic season, rather than being subject to the Lenten slump, seems to be approaching an apex. This augurs well for Mimes' forthcoming presenta- tion of "Anna Christie", which will be given the first week after spring va- cation. The play itself is probably Eugene O'Neill's best-at least his most pop- lar-, and the campus seems ready for more of the type, after the com- edy of "To the Ladies!" and the top heavy symbolism of "The Trumpet Shall Sound." Mr. O'Neill's story of the lady who loved not wisely but perhaps too many, and the near-tra- gedy of her moral redemption, form an interesting dramatic study, with the author's ever-present balance of human values motivating the char- acters in real and human sequence. It is an outstanding argument for those who tell you that O'Neill is the greatest living dramatist. * ,* * PLAY PRODUCTION AND DIREC- TION Tryouts for the next play will be held on Tuesday afternoon through Friday of this week from 4 to 6 o'clock in University theater. Con- tinuing the policy of the last play, any student enrolled in the Univer- sity may apply for a part. r * , THE ROCKFORD PLAYERS Speaking of plays, the Rockford Players have announced a most opti- mistic repertory for presentation in Ann Arbor from May 3 through May 15.

Monday, May 1-"The Last of Mrs. Cheyney"; and Tuesday, May 17- "The Firebrand." THE FACULTY CONCERT A review, by Albert Rice Leventhal. The eleventh in the series of Fac- ulty Coheerts, given last Sunday in Hill auditorium, proved to be quite the most interesting of the season. We must htre congratulate the University Symphony orchestra not only for the consistent improvement shown dur- ing the past year, but for the courage displayed in choosing selections for this, their last concert. 'Nights in the Gardens ofhSpain' proved entirely charming. There is some doubt as to whether De Falla is justified in his twisting of Spanish folk rhythms into modernist patterns, in his employment of the piano as an orchestral instrument. Certainly, we might well make the claim that the orchestration for the band was, on Sunday, so thick as to permit the splendid playing of the soloist, Albert Lockwood, to emerge but at scattered intervals. The piece, however, proved riotous with color. The composer brought to his work an almost per- feet scenario . It is to the credit of the orchestra that it failed but seldom to interpret the setting. Most conductors are wary of Beethoven's Second Symphony, an un- even and experimental work. After the line of Mozart, the symphony calls for a painful degree of finesse in per- I formance. Yet the work is Beethoven, and obiviously superior to the popular 'Coriolanus' overture. The orchestra, despite the frequent bewilderment of the horns, succeeded in giving a real- ly fine interpretation of the work, ris- ing to new levels in the second, the P" e Let us look it over and make sure it is in good order. .No charge for this service.
