There is plenty of opportunity for athletic participation here, however, in the inter-fraternity and intramural fields. It is true that too few take advantage 1 of this even at Michigan. Thirdly, Wisconsin believes that Varsity athletics are too much in the limelight, "subordinating the intellec- tual program of the university in the N eyes of high school students, the gene-9 ral public, and even of the university students." Such a condition is inevi- table. Newspapers are responsible for any such overemphasis. And why? Because the public wants it, and a t newspaper is a business enterprise after all.} Fourthly, it is claimed that cut-t throat competition is forced on the coaches by the football public, and the general attitude of the alumni tends to accentuate the evils of the situation.t It is reasonable to believe that Michi- gan's coaches have not felt any such competition. Perhaps, they would iff they were not so competent. It.Is true that the general attitude of alumni does help materially to keep football and other sports in the limelight. Yet, such enthusiasm on the part of gradu- ates is not unnatural. Finally, it is contended that students and' faculty have too little control of athletics, with the result that there is little harmony between athletics and education. Such is not the case at Michigan. There is no need for more student or faculty control here. Co- I operation is certainly not lackiing be- tween these groups. Among the suggestions made by the Wisconsin board, the plan of replac- ing freshman and sophomore gym with two years of compulsory sports is ad- vanced, "which will be the training ground for Varsity athletics." The idea is a good one and is certainly worth a trial. It is (again) suggested that inter- collegiate competition be limited to juniors and seniors, or perhaps to sophomores and juniors. There is no 1 need for this. Thre years of Varsity competition is not overdoing athletics Wisconsin would limit each sport to its season, doing away with spring football, fall and spring basketball, etc. Definite limits for each sport are advocated. The value of such a step is problematical. At present athletes are undoubtedly better trained and better coached. Whether ornot doing away with preliminary practice ses- sions, such as spring football and bas- ketball, would seriously affect such training is questionable. 'Again, it issuggested to limit daily practice for each sport in the same way that football practice has al- ready been limited to two hours. The idea is worth consideration. There seems little reason why other major sports should not be limited to two hours daily. Finally, the Wisconsin Union board would limit each student to one inter- collegiate sport, or prohibit his par- ticipation in success~ive sports. Such a drastic change seems unnecessary. There are few college athletes suf- ficiently versatile to take part in more * than two major sports a year at the most. And the number that partici- pates in two a year is not large enough * to b4 disturbed over. ONE LANGUAGE WE R N FOR DEAN 'OF PROFESSORS The real important May Festival will e held tonight on South University, when the roller skating populationt gets together for a little tournament. DOWN TIlE DIAGONAL1 "By tomorrow," estimated the Stais.- tic-Spouting Sophomore, "there will be one-eighth as many persons with sore ankles as there will be wheels in the tournament tonight." LEADING LOCAL POLITICIAN TO RUN FOR DEAN 'OF PROFS The fever has us again. We feel that we must run for something be- sides a fire-engine, and so we hereby enter our name for the office of Dean of Professors in the coming elections. * * * Our duties would be similar to those of Dean Bursley-if he has any. We would keep a fatherly watch over the. faculty members, and punish them everytime they did something wrong. We would have entire charge of the surveilence of their leisure time, and would make sure that they use it con- structively. "No Pirates Among the Faculty!" would be our battle cry. S* . * WELCOME NEW N. E. I The Horde in Control of Publica- tions has announced the new Manag- ing Editor. We weren'trunning for the job. And in a couple days the new staff will be taking over the paper, and we can hand over the bakery to somebody else. * * I We want to say to the boys who are trying out for the job in this con- test, that we weren't able to print all the columns submitted, but they all have been considered. We didn't know there were so many on campus who would want to stoop to the job of writing humor. Timothy Hay.

"THE FIREBRAND" A review, by Theodore Hornberger Let me tell you about it. I was up to the New Sarah Caswell Angell Hall to see a play, a gala opening, the Rockford players and Cellini, all for the benefit of the Women's Building,' I didn't wait long for them to attack- not more than fifteen minutes--but plunged into the midst of vari-coloredt chair covers, new curtain and "Vaga- bond King" music prepared to fight through at all costs, even if the win- dows remained closed. It was a sharp - struggle, but no one was permanently killed and the wounded were well cared for. All in all it was a good fight. This fellow Cellini is a clever vil- lian certainly and by his own admis- sion not a liar but a poet. His poetry in the eyes of Mr. Mayer, author, con- sists of the type adventurer in six- teenth century clothes and manners with a veneer of twentieth century J vocabulary, not perhaps the ultimate in Celhinis but quite satisfactory for all practical purposes. Robert Henderson wears aforementioned clothes, manners and vocabulary enthusiastically and youthfuly, and Frances Horine as An- gela,his ,model, sets them off to ad- vantage in the apparently unchanging way of charming heroines in comedy. With° them alone, however, "The Firebrand" would be a dull two hours, for the comedy lies almost wholly in the lines of three others. Reyonlds Evans as Alessandro, Duke of Flor- ence obviously had the crowd as well as the best of the dialogue, and he, used them both well. The Duchess, Amy Loomis, was equally effective and , Frances Bavier as Emilia, a servirigl, completed the trio of in- dividuals which justifies the subtitle of the play as "A Comedy Farce in the Very Grand Manner." They supply Sthevery. The laughs they get de- pend upon the incongruity of the six- teenth century social customs and the clever remarks of smart repartee. Camille Masline, as Beatrice, goat- faced mother of Angela in search of recompense for the loss of her daught- er's company, was also outstanding in ancient shrillness of voice and action. For the others-the Ann Arbor clothes horses-there is not too much to say. Charles Livingstone played Ottaviano, the villain, with approved villainous voice and manner, but undeniably the lady behind was right when she re- marked that he looked like Charlie i Chaplin. Richard Woellhaf and Wil- liam Bishop played dignified courtiers very dignifiedly but "The Firebrand" used them only for background.

But when the do, they should be supported in a whole-heart- ed and a genrous fashioin. Chief among the outside activities of campus organizations is the fresh air camp that is maintaiiued during the summer by the Student Christian association. Last year this camp made possible a vacation for 355 boys from 'needy families in and arcund Ann Arbor The campus was asked to support this move and it did so generously inr the drive that was held lastespring. The ideals of the camp are of the highest and the personnel of the best Their aim is to "foster and develop a genuine reverence for the sacred things of life, and a zest for the best that life has to offer." For the reali- zation of this aim they must have the support of the campus. You will be asked to contribute on Tag Day, Tues- day, May 10th. Support the Fresh Air camp! It is a worthy venture! CRITICISMS OF ATHLETICS In presenting criticisms-with reme- dial suggestions-of the athletic situa- tion as it exists today, primarily for consideration by the Big Ten univer- sities, the Wisconsin Union board has made h commendable move in an ef- fort to effect a closer correlation be- tween intercollegiate athletics and sound educational policies. To con- tend, however, that conditions in the various Conference universities are so similar that a uniform corrective plan is .advisable, or even possible, appears fallacious after analyzing the state- ments. And that is just what the Wisconsin Union executives maintain, or believe They have judged the situation throughout the Big Ten by existing conditions athome and have offered suggestions. which they feel will be appropriate for' each university. The athletic study, incidentally, was made by a promient Wisconsin athlete who is doing a bit of sincere reflecting be- fore his graduation in June. Among the criticisms, point number one contends that athletics are too in- tense for a few. It is claimed that r * Earn Extra Credits During Summer Vacation Thechangeand recreation so necessary to every- one are here combined 'with superior oppor-' i tunity for educational advancement.

E"---"--- - - - i -; 'I II -) - -r - - , The problem of whether or not it is practical to enforce the writing and speaking of Gaelic alone is one of the problems that faces the Free State at the present time. There are many clubs, corresponding, one supposes, to our ultra-American Ku Klux Klan, which have as their byword, "Learn Irish or clear out." And involved in the discussion are the school, the church and the literary people. One wonders how they hope to ac- complish such a thing. Language is a natural evolution having its founda- tion in, qnd being moulded by, the habits of the people, the climate of the section and many other such'things to abstruse to give, at length.
