PRACTICAL SUFFRAGE
In any community organized on
democratic principles, it is only fair
that each voter be allowed to cast his
ballot wiuont undue inconvenience.
Otherwisd, representative government
is mereiynoiinal.
On these grounds, The Daily wishes
to point out that in the campus elec-
tion last year the medical students
working in the new University hos-
pital were practically disenfranchan,
chised because the time and location
of their work kept them from the vot-
ing booths on the campus. The situ-
ation could be easily remedied by
placing a ballot box in the smoking
room of the hospital used by the stu-
dents. In making this year's prepara-1
tions, the elections committee of the!
Student council should take some such
action.
WILL YOU IEELP?
Next Tuesday you will see B. M. 0.
C.'s standing in different sections of
the campus with tin pails in which
you will see the donations of those
students who are making possible the1
work of the Student Christian associa-
tion in maintaining a summer camp
for needy .lys in the vicinity of Ann
Arbor. There will be no personal so-
licitations; you are simply asked to
give what you wish for a worthy cause.
If it impresses you that giving a
vacation to a boy who would other-
wise never -leave the city in the sum-
mer is a worthy cause, then dig down
in your pocket and give. If you can
appreciate what the contacts and the
outdoor life will do for these boys
who have never had the same chances
That you have had, then looen up with
anything from "two bits" to a dollar.
It is rarely that we are called on
for such donations as these for such
a cause. With such a student body as
we have here it means only a little
thought and a little donation from
everyone. Will YOU do your part to
give some deserving boy a vacation?
The time is next Tuesday-the amount,
What you will.
PRIVATE OWNERSI IP
(Disposition of Musle Shoals power

ticularly pressng, problem of the gov-
ernment which has been rather lightly
passed over by nearly every session
of Congress since the war.
would be extraordinarily difl cult if
not imposible. At the present time,
the demand for hydroelectric power
in the surrounding territory does not
exist. Moreover, if the power develop-
ment was started, there would be no
guarantee that a demand would be
present.
Under private ownership, however,
intergrated industries would be con-
veniently located in the neighboring
region by the development company,
or power companies already equipped
with distribution facilities could profit-
ably handle the power developed.
Operation under private ownership and
' initiative would seem to be as desir-
ablp for this project as for the rail-
roads.
ATHLETICS FOR ALL
Contracts have been let for the con-
struction of a Women's Field house on
Palmer field to correspond to the men's
building on Ferriy field; and thereby
Michigan has written another chapter
in the history of its athletic achieve-
ments.
Five years ago the University was
the firs't to build a field house with
the specifications of the imassive men's
structure, and now it is one of the
first to follow this step with an equally
adequate provision for women. When
Michigan's impressive record in ath-
letics is mentioned, and her new stu-
dium, it would be well to remember
that with these achievements has come
also a growth in an equally worth-
while, though less spectacular, field-
a growth in the direction of more com-
plete athletic facilities for all stu-
dents.
AVIATION'S FUTURE
One hundred and eight years ago
the world was startled by the news
that trans-Atlantic communication had
been established with an invention of
doubtful practical application-the
steamship. The 26 day voyage of the
350 ton Savanah marked the beginning
of a new era in marine transporta-
tion, and a century of development has
resulted in the utilization of these
water highways through a net work of
steamship lines.
A similar opportunity for develop-
ment presents itself to the twentieth
century world in the field of aviation,
still in its infancy when the unlimited
,possibilities of air transportation on
a practical basis are considered. In-
dications point to the day in the near
future when the Atlantic will no long-
er be a barrier to trans-oceanic aerial
4ommmunicatfon. Little doubt re-
mains that a sucessful nonstop flight
from New York to Paris will be made
this year, as preparations are already
#well under way for the crosing.
Jus sdthe AtlantichOcean challeng-
ed the skill and daring of the crew of
the Savanah, so it tempts the fliers of
today; but the difficulties which in the
past seemed too great to surmount,
have been practically $vercome by
rapid advancement in design and con-
struction, and aviation has been
brought to a point where realization
is succeeding expectation. Within the
past year development of air-cooled
motors has been so remarkable that
the achievement is now not only held
possible but practical and seems just
a matter of time.
The projected flights are not mere
stunt ventures. They have a practical
basis and purpose. Once the psycho-
logical barrier which has hindered avi-
ation from the beginning is broken
down, commercial trans-Atlantic air
service will become an established
factor in the future of world communi-
cation, and the nation which first de-
velops trans-Atlantic aviation will
have a marked advantage over other
nations for the supremacy of the air.
THE CONSERVATIVE PAPER,
Frequently nowadays .some thought-
ful but. not deep thinking person
gathers courage enough to question
the place of the so-called conservative,
newspaper in this day of hectic journ-
alism, yellow newspapers, and stream-
er headlines. If they fail to find an.
answer, it is because they have not
sought very far.
The conservative paper, the one
which contains less "rumors," fewer
spicy cartoons, few if any love-trian-
gle narratives of fiction, is the stand-
ard bearer, the torch in the dark, for
those who still are capable of inter-
preting the news for themselves;
those whose education permits their
brain, rather than the man who writes
screaming headlines, to take the news.
story for what it is worth. Common
sense is necessary in reading the con-
servative paper. It is not for the day-
by-day laborer, the ditch-digger and
the chimney sweep. It is the educated
person's standby, and intended for him
only.
The conservative newspaper, all in
all, might be looked upon as an an-{
chor for the good ship "Journalism,"
keeping her yet steadfast and able to
weather the storm which every infant,
_and progressive industry need face.
PGING
a..eCLOVER
This idea of writing a swan song
one day and then the next starting
right in and writing another column
is quite a joke on us. Commodore
Clover has been appointed to the lowly
position of baker of Rolls for next
year, but he has sailed away over the
deep dark blue sea apparently, for
when the time came for him to do the
dirty work, he couldn't be found. So
we are substituting for today, and
promise to get the Commodore at the
helm tomorrow.
a * *
We're really in no mood for humor
anyway. We just took an exam, and
came up to the office to find that the
f appointments were out for next year's
stuff.
This time of year is the saddest one'
in, The Daily office. There are so
many workers for each job that every-
one can't get what he deserves, and
there are always a bunch disappointed.
But of course it can't be helped in
this modern world of competition.
Now under socialism-y
The appointments to The Dailykaff
positions are the fairest that can pos-
sibly be devised, for they are made
on a basis of actual work done and
not votes won in an election by passing
out cigars. But the margin between
the candidates for a single job is
likely to be rather slim and so there
are plenty of men who just miss the
positions by a narrow squeak.
* * *
We'll be competing ourselves for a'
job in June out in the wide world
where journalists are newspapermen
and college graduates try to hide the
fact. .
* * * ~
THE COMMODORE
Concerning the most important ap-
pointment, Rolls' editorship, we want
to thank the several persons who sent.
in columns for the tryout race. We
believe that Commodore Clover show-
ed the greatest ability for this peculiar
type of work-peculiar is right-and
we expect to see great things coming
from Rolls next year. The Commodore
has plenty of room in this University
in which to sail his ship of humor, and
we look forward to a victorious cruise.
* * s
Here's to Commodore Clover, may
he always be in clover!
THAT SKATING MEET
This skating meet that the Martha
Cook girls put on Wednesday night
for the benefit of the League fund was
a huge success. Nobody in the lib-
rary or the lawyers club was able to
study.
* s *
Most of the crowd was not on skates,
but that was alright, the girls collect-
ed money from th-em too, as many as
would buy the tags. And there were
plenty skating, as it was. If any more
had come with the rollers, they would
have had to put them on the street
in shifts, it was so crowded.
* * s
The professors who promised to
come on skates, did it. But they took
them off soon after they got there.
* * *
THERIF was a policeman or two
down at the roller skating affair Wed-
nesday night. They had an awful
time trying to keep the crowd back,
and one of them'was busy tying a rope
to a tree when some guy asked what
he was doing.
"Ah," came the witty reply, "There's
a fish on the end of this."
He didn't say which end.

THIS UNIVERSITY NEEDS
A DEAN OF PROFESSORS
For years Michigan has strayed
along the paths of knowledge without
a Dean of Professors, and you can
just see where we find her today!
Think of what this University would
be today had, there been a Dean of
Professors back in the beginning.
* * *
Just an instance will suffice: When
the University was founded, the first
professors appointed went on a little
trip around Europe collecting books.
Now, everybody knows that was plain
fooloshment. Why should a prof go
wandering off like that, when there
were students in the state clamoring
for education?
* * S
Aid -vby couldn't we have gotten
just as good books at Graham's or
Sliater's or Wahlr's? Look at the tray-
teling expenses wve would have saved.
And to think that President Little
wanted to have home-and-home foot-
ball gaunes in order to saive traveling
expenses!

A i'eview, by Kenneth Patrick
Dissapointing forecasts of John
Golden's "clean" comedy were entirely
dispelled last night, during the first
act of "Pigs," and before the final cur-
tain the audience became quite en-
thusiastic. All the sympathetic humor
and appeal of the lines were brought
out to the fullest extent, despite the
horror with which such drama has
been critically appraised for almost a
decade. The flair for the realistic was
capably supplied by the porkers them-
selves, during one short scene and
for several minutes folowing. Thel
most difficult task for the regular
patron. lay in shaking off his recol-
lection of the Mrs. Cheney of the the
evening preceding, recollections which
were somewhat lingering.
Robert Henderson gave 1an inter-
pretation which seemed to fit his par-
ticular ability better than any role he
has enacted heretofore, better mainly
for the reason that it was spontaneous
and unxepected. His most ardent
rock-casters could not help but like
him. Frances Bavier shared equally
in the gratifying results with her por-
trayal of the bumptious Mildred, car-
rying the life of the piece more than,
the others. Every one likes her. The'
third most noticeable part was that
of Grandma, and all that is horrible
in Grandma's difficult lines for a Lady
Joan like Camille Masine. The First
Boy who sat behind kept saying to
the Friend "You should have been here
last night!"
The rest of the players almost had
a nightpff socially, and merely became

11E GLEE CLUB CONCERT
A review, by Philip Brooks
As a memorial to a departed Michi-I
gan spirit-and as an mrtistic accomp-
lishment, the Glee Club concert was
1ai Irable success. The songs from
pa t Uion Operas by Lorrain Norton,
'27,' and Otto Koch, '27, were easily.
the features of greatest inspiration,
although the entire concert was one
of splendid enthusiasm. If recent
Oper, writers could achieve the feats
of those who comzosed the music for
"Mochigenda" and "Contrairie Mary,"
there would be more favorable recep-
tions of Union Operas. It is doubtful
if any of the songs in the last two pro-
ductions, at least, will last as Michi-
gan songs like "When Night Falls"
and "The Friar's Song."
Michigan is in danger of outgrow
ing itself when its enormous size and
attendant lack of a unified social eon-
sciousness is evidenced by °such a
small crowd as attended last night's
affair. Not more than 700 people went
to listen to a performance which at
any of the eastern universities, mas-
ters in the achievement of college
spirit, would be a major event, and
would draw a majority of the student
body. It would be a decidedly favor-
able thing if the Glee club were to ap-
pear oftener in events such as pep
meetings where there is a crowd, since
the campus is too stupid to go to hear
it by itself, in order to show the stu-
,dents what a really splendid organi-
zation Mr. Harrison maintains.
Of course last night many no doubt
would rather see the show with the
supposed kick in it at the Whitney I
than the "concert with the kick in it,"
as the posters advertised the Glee Clubt
performance. Which is also not par-
ticulatly complimentary to the taste
of .the student body.

THE EARL CARROLL "VANITIES"
k-review, by Kenneth Risley
Entertainment such as presented by
last" iight's company of Earl Carroll's
"Vanities" comes to town so seldom
that everybody enjoyed if from the
Fine Arts department in the front row
to the Kappa Sigs who were in the sec-
ond and third. As a sort of hectic vau-
deville" with garbed contributions com-
ing all the way from "Le Chauve
Souris" to the numbers snitched from
"Le Maire's Affairs" the whole busi-
ness seemed more pathetic than other-
wise; it must be awful to have to put
one's children through college by ap-
pearing in French lingerie in a show
like that. Some of the stuff, however,
was good, even though the much-ad-
vertised Louise Brooks turned out toj
be blonde with thin legs. And any-
