First it is declared that it is diffi-i
cult to arrange a time of meeting for
the class, and therefore a number of
prospects are eliminated. It is well
kntown, however, that nothing is free
from conflict in time, and that the
dates set for tryouts will conflict just
as much as any class period could.
Then in the second objection it is
ridiculously contended that debaters
are rewarded too highly for their
work. It seems that the members of
the teams receive a magnificent sum
of $50 and a medal in addition to the
credits they receive for their classt
room work. This princely reward, on
top of the wild acclaim of the campus
and student body, is too much for the
students who work long hours in an
intellectual activity, according to the
department of public speaking.
From a purely rational standpoint
the action of the department is a
colossal error. Tryouts may be able
to take the place of the classroom
work as a method of selecting the
team; but after a student works for
a semester in a course in advanced
public speaking, under the most
strenuous kinds of competitive condi-
tions, one may justly ask why he
should not receive the three hours
credit which represent such a small
portion of the work he has done.. Of
course, he recives a medal and a
small sum of money besides, but mem-
bers of Michigan's football teams
don't turn down gold footballs.
If Michigan is to recover from the
very obvious forensic lethargy into
which she has sunk, she will need not
less, but more incentive for members
of debating teems. If the department
of, public speaking would recognize
this fact, it might still retract the
blunder which means more and more
handicaps in the way of an already
overburdened activity.
MY MY9 AN EMBARGO
There once was a very small nation
that became very angry with a larger
nation. So heated did the feeling be-
come that the smaller country de-
cided to slight the larger one, and so
it was enacted by the smaller nation
that none of the goods of the larger
should be bought by its citizen's
thereby decreasing the trade of the
larger nation and causing great dis-
tress.
Thus, the smaller nation caused an
embargo to be levied, and great pa-
triots espoused the cause and gloried
in the perturbation that they would
cause to the larger nation. But the
larger nation went along much as
though nothing had happened, while
the weaker one became miserable and
needy, unitl finally the embargo was
lifted.
That chapter, so well known, should
be a lesson to smaller nations once and
for all Wtill Mexien annently in

Tim had to be coaxed a lot to put1
forth this final effort. He claimed it
was mere bashfulness, but it's our
opinion that he just didn't want to go
back to work.
But after awhile he admitted that
he had a few remarks he had been
wanting to get off his chest ever since
he gave up this lucrative position.
And so he decided to take the job.

S. C. A. HOLDS MEETING
A crowd of 16 persons thronged the
auditorium of Lane Hall Wednesday
afternoon to vote_ upon amendments
to the charter of the Student Christian
association. Those in attendance
voted the affair a great success.

A brand-new charter was the out-
come, providing for what the more
optimistic hope will be a really live
organization. If it really does, we
would say the meeting was more than
a success. A miracle would be bet-
ter.
* * *.
The hidden hand of some of our
well-practiced campus politicians mustt
have had something to do with the 1
meeting. The amendments were pass-
ed by a unanimous vote.

Maybe our own grade survey wasn't
appreciated, but still we believe it al-
most as good as the one by the fac-
ulty.

of Copeau's Vieux Colombier (that is,
it is a permanent set with different
panels and props to lend individual

element of interest.
Then in addition there will be sev-
eral attempts to inject a tone of mod-
er expressionism into some of the
plays. For instance "Gammer Gur-
ton's Needle" will be played all over
the auditorium; and in the prologue
and epilogue of "Fanny's First Play"
in which the critics discuss the com-
edy, the players of tiose parts will
give their lines from the audience
itself.

is more or less an attempt to follow
in the tradition of those dramatists
whose aim is to unite the audience
and the actors into a closer union.
IPerhaps the most outstanding attempt
this season in New York was "The
Spider" a melodrama in which a mem-
ber of the audience is murdered dur-
ing a vaudeville performance. The
entire audience is placed under arrest,
and the action plays unconcernedly
on either side of the curtain line.from
then on. However, this is a rather
unconscious effort, like "The Last
Warning" and merely exploits a
unique situation, rather than working
in a new field, which after all isn't so
new.
They may be like burlesque shows,
which one of the members of the Eng-
lish Literature department-I've want-
ed to quote this for months-denied a
place in the art of the theater, even
though the chorus does come romp-
ing down the aisle singing "Button
Me Up the Back, Baby!"
All this works well enough for "The
Spider" and even for "Gammer Gur-
ton" and "Fanny." The only trouble
would be-I'm going to quote some-
body else on this, I think it's Robert
Benchley-in trying to stage some-
thing like "Ben Hur" in the manner.
The horsesralone would fill most of
the orchestra, and the principals
would take the first balcony. Which
means that the paid admissions would
have to sit in the gallery.
