Norquist Assistants lower the standard of living for all Italian laborers in comparison with those of the rest of the world. The first result would leave condi- tions ultimately the same as they are at present, except that Italy would be using, a different monetary standard and there will be considerable pain inC executing the new scheme. The sec- ond outcome-that of reducing the standard of living of the Italian work- ers, may be desirable from an imme- diate standpoint of nationalistic pol- icy, in that it will decrease prices of. Italy's goods abroad and thereby in- crease her export business, but in the long run the age in which we live, and the state of civilization in general will revolt at any policy that involves a lowering of the standard that the workingman has now attained. . The experiment of wage reduction will be an interesting and significant project, but in any case its chances of success seem hopeless. It may achieve the immediate end of reducing pries of Italy's goods abroad, but for that end it sacrifices something far more valuable and worthwhile still- the standard of living of a nation. When Mussolini ceases to view ques- tions of policy from the standpoint of national gain for the immediate mo- ment, and commences to look into the future of civilization, his economic methods may undergo a sharp revis- ion. GENEROUS SUPPORT Ninety years ago the people of Michigan were the first to establish a state university. From the tiny beginning that the Ann Arbor school made in 1837 has grown one of the world's greatest educational institu- tions; and since that time nearly every other state in the Union has fol- lowed the lead of Michigan. A broad and generous legislature, backed by the resources and good will of a vast commonwealth, has continu- ously and successfully provided for the onward march of that University. Throughout the history of Michigan education this inspiring foresight and liberality has made the University of I today the dream of the men of 1837- who were the first to see the future. The latest evidence of this continued support for education came two days ago when the legislature passed the University appropriation bill, raising the annual revenue from $3,700,000 to approximately $4,200,000, and provid- ing for a new wing on Angell hall, a new elementary school building, and land for women's dormitories and a Women's League building besides. Tite additional funds will enable Michigan to develop in many fields, such as forestry and other lines of research, where she has been handicapped be- fore. The same foresight and the same generosity that has lifted higher ed- ucation in the state to the peak which it now enjoys, has again manifest itself in another great constructive program. Michigan, both student body and faculty, appreciates the liberal grants; and the hearty cooperation of the legislature and the people of the state, which will do much to in- sure a greater educational institution. A CLOSED IN(4DENT The Mellon-Churchill debt contro- versy is apparently closed-by gen- eral admission of both parties, and an unedifying dispute between two supposedly big men theeby ends. To the casual onlooker it appears re- markably as though the whole thing was just another "I did," "You didn't" schoolboy - controversy, with both sides partially right. The near serious consequences that the affair involved, however, should not be lost sight of when, the temptation arises to do the same thing again. Minor points that- can be made into great international dis- putes are lying around loose at all time. Nations as great as the United States and England should be far above such petty arguments. T OATED ROLL UPPER CLASS CAP NIGHT TO BE HELD Anxiously-waiting freshmen will at last have an opportunity to cast their insignia of verdance into the flames, when on Tuesday night, by order of the Student Council, they will as- semble to hold a real, honcst-to-good- ness Cap Night, * According to the description it al- most sounds as if there was really going to be a Cap Night, at least for the freshmen. But it's the other classes that we're worrying about. The seniors were provided for by Swing- out, but how about the juniors andi sophomores, who aren't going to be allowed to attend? * * * Without Cap Night, how can the juniors ever attain the spirit of the senior class? They may not want to graduate next year-even those that have the -chance.' * * * "Too many things to handle kept us from arranging a Cap Night pro- gram," explained members of the Stu- dent Council yesterday. "We simply had to give all our time to the elec- tion. Of course we want to preserve 1raditions, but important matters must come first." * * * SPECIAL CAP WIGHT FOR UPPERCLASSMEN PLANNED Rolls will hold its own Cap Night program for the benefit of the upper- classmen excluded from the affair sponsored by the Student Council, by the terms of a special arrangement with that body. No effort will be spared to make this as nearly as possible like the traditional event. * * * Due to lack of practice in handling such matters, we have nQt been able to decide upon a date as yet. Per- haps if we can stop imitating the Council and get down to business, we may be able to accomplish a little more. However we have decided upon many of the details. Ferry field has beeen chosen as the location. The stadium will be used, so as to give the appearance of Sleepy ,Hollow. It will be much more comfort.ble. * * * As Harry Tillotson is not expected to be present, there will probably be plenty of seats available. * *, * In order to be allowed to use the field we had to make a number of concessions. To protect the grass and playing field, the Ann Arbor police force will be on hand to keep every- body in the stands. Protection of the field against the policemen will al- so be provided. * * * Msic ' Drama TOMORROW -NIGHT: The ford Plyers presenlt "The Goddess" at 8:15 o'clock it Caswell Angell hall. * * * Rock- Green Sarah " IIIllllnlIlIfII IIIII Illll II I[ II lliillli ill1 11111itI II ltnn lli1111 #ill ili ii ll tl ntili ilii i t#1 ill II KOII IIIIIIIIIIIII#1mi _ GRAHAM'S - .

And more: that when we have under- taken to beat the drum for any mu- sical or dramatic event, it was both. worthy and exceptional in the field.j The Rockford Players are doing sold-out business after almost two weeks of repertory; the Mimes season was an extraordinary success-(dra- matically and financially); Roland Hayes and Fritz Kreisler packed Hill auditorium; and Mrs. Fiske and Glenn Hunter played to capacity In the Whitney-which is exceptional for a legitimate attraction. It is with this in mind that your attention is called to the May Festi- val, which will be presented under the direction of Earl Moore from Wednesday through Saturday of this week, with Friday ands Saturday mat- inee concerts. For once the egotis- tical tooting in the dodger with its biattant nosegays is perfectly true. i 1 I I i t f MAKE ELL MANN'S kc HEADQUARTERS ' FOR PANAMA HATS Hats that are Good Prices that are Right.

KELSEY Michigan has lost a great person- ality and a great scholar-the second within a week-with the passing of Prof. Francis W. Kelsey. A man' who has .made a mark in two fields, and who has carried the prestige of Michigan to the far off ruins of Afri- ca, has passed from the life of the school he served for 38 years. Academic honors in the field of ed- ucation have been lavishly bestowed on the great atrhaeologist. Two lead- ing -societies of scientists and edu- cators, the American Philological As- sociation and the Archaeological In- stitute of America have given him the highest honor within their power to bestow-the presidency. But purely academic honors, how- s ever significant, are hollow compared with the great influence that Profes- sor Kelsey, the man, wielded over Michigan. The great intangible spirit of a University, the spirit that gives it traditions., nd commands rever- ence, is embodied in the persons of the older members of the faculty. This invaluable spirit which befriends a forlorn "student or encourages the discouraged one is worth more in the lives of men than all the ribbons of professional reward. Prestige and recognition, to .be sure, Professor Kelsey brought to Michigan, but when others have carried on the work that lie left unfinished, there still will be a gap-the gap of a great and good personality. 3tUSSOLI'S WAGE CUT Premier Mussolini has another idea, and :ike most of the ideas that the gentleman has had in recent years, it will be tried. From babies' names to ballroom dancing nothing in Italy isl safe from the dictates of Benito, and the latest field of his efforts is reduc- 1 ing the workingmen's pay ten per cent. Like most of Mussolini's actions the "Tear used by protect O'Brien. toms of gas will absolutely not he any police called upon to the field," promised Chief "Not unless there are symp- a riot." * * * CAMPUS OPINION Anonymous communications will be disregarded. The names of communi- cants will, however, be regarded as confidential upon request. F A fire for the pots is out of the question because' of injury to the field. But imitation flames made out of red lights could easily be arranged. Then the pots could be deposited in a basket, and saved until next year, when they could be sold for the bene- fit of the Women's League fund. * * * For the freshmen who must have their tradition straight, an incine- rator will be provided. * * * Since this is an upperclass affair,I freshmen could not be admitted. ButN in order to preserve the spirit, repre- sentative freshmen could be selected, to carry the pots of their classmates to the fire. * * * Much controversy has arisen over the elimination of Sleepy Hollow' as the scene of Michigan's most pic- turesque traditional event. The en- gineering college is blamed. * *.* It seems that Sleepy hollow is the testing ground for the embryo sur- veyors. To make things more real- istic, a dense and tall growth of grass has been allowed to accumulate. j And so they protested, rather than al- low their grounds to be spoiled by the trampling mob. STAEBLER MAkES PROTEST Neil Staebler, prominent memberl of last year's senior class, is said to The thirty-fourth annual Festival is without doubt the most ambitious pro- gram Which Mr. Moore has yet! planned.i The artists in the first place are unanimously among the best in the business. MADAME ERNESTINE SCJIUMANN-IEINK will sing in Ann Arbor as the culmination of her fif- tieth season on the concert stage- a Golden-Jubilee season which in- cluded a national tour with over thirty concerts as well as appear- ances as the guest-artist in the Met- ropolitan annual matinees of the Wagnerian cycle. ROSA PONSELLE is the Metropoli- tan's greatest dramatic soprano, with the possible exception of Jeritza. Her Vestale was one of the sensations of last season and her recitals with her sister (Carmela Ponselle, a mezzo soprano at the Metropolitan) are' the most popular in concert-going New York. Her voice is one of the best in Gatti-Casazza's ranks, and she is beautiful in a vivid and exotic way: black hair, the reddest lips, and a face of a Rafael maddona. LAWRENCE TIBBET was the sen- sation of the Festival two years ago, his engagement in Ann Arbor coming shortly after his Metropolitan success in Falstaff. He possesses one of the best baritone voices in opera, as his seasonal appearance' as King Eadgar in "The King's Henchman" (the Mil- ler-Taylor opera which totally eclipsed Puccini's unfortunate post- humous opus "Turandot") has proved. SOPHIE BRASLAU - another con- tralto-will sing "Carmen" on Satur- day night. Miss Braslau, an Ameri- can Jowess, is almost as beautiful as Ithe Pizella portrait that she uses for her padvertising. After her recital two years ago in the Choral Union series and the School of Music said she wouldn't be singing in five years-it is strange how things may twist so easily into an unwilling boomerang! LEA LUBOSHUTZ is not so well know in America except for her Sonata recitals with Josef Hofmann, the plianit. She is a Russian, who is popular on the continent, and who was a. small sensation in a New York recital two years ago.I EARNEST HUTCHESON, pianist, is an American, rather famous as a teacher and as an interpretive artist; 11 There was a young lady from Dexter Whios Car Conlimtally sexed her;, , NOX-OUT she t ien tried Now shedoes nothing but ride, And she's forgotten the grief that perplexed her.

Intimacy, they say, breeds a certain candor. Miss Miller's classification of the part of Watkins with sundry supers suggests that at some time Mr. Henderson may not have admired Miss Miller's work.j It is always fascinating to note what happens when reviewer turns actor. Nevertheless, Mr. Henderson's School of Nursing of Yale University X Profession for the College Woman interested in the modern, scientific agencies of social service. ; I
