SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1127
Night Editor-PAUL J. KERN
would be more than a trillion human
beings on the planet at that time, 'a
thing inconceivable, of course, with
the present methods of support.
Plainly speaking, then, the rate of
multiplication must be cut down, and
this leads to the second point.
Here we are confronted with an-
other set of facts, for in addition to
the great increase in population is the
fact that the laboring classes multiply
most rapidly, and that the classes
best able to support the increase are
not augmenting their numbers at any
rate comparable to the laborers. This
means that the other classes of so-
ciety must constantly recruit their
ranks from the sons of laborers,
and, while probably a wholesome
thing in the main, the economic ex-
tremity of the laboring classes in-
volved in financing the raising of this
generation often leads to unequal op-
portunity for these children.
And finally, the third phase leads
us to the question of immigration.
The United States, Australia, and cer-
tain other portions of unsettled con-
tinents are still under-populated,
while China and Japan can not begin
to support the people they now have
at any decent standard. The question
arises, as it did at the population
conference, whether these under-
populated nations should share their
resources with immigrants from the
.over-populated ones. The logical
'answer, and the conclusion which the
conference reached, is that the open
door for immigration is indefensible,
and merely aggravates the same prob-
lem as soon as the, entering immi-
grants had had time to overpopulate
the new countries to the same extent
as the countries they had left.
This question of population, then,
assumes a tremendous significance. It
is plain that previous rapid increases
can not go on, and it is plain that the
burden of raising the next generation
should not fall Gn the laboring classes.
Comb'ine these two facts with the
point that the open door for immigra-
tion offers only a superficial solu-
tion, and we have the conclusions of
the World Conference on Population
complete..
THE YEARLY RUSH
As in the pest, the staff of the
Michiganensian is experiencing trou-
ble making the seniors realize the
necessity of having their pictures
taken as soon as possible. As for-
merly, there may be predicted the last
minute rush in' which many will be
disappointed by the times of their
appointments or by the pictures -taken
as a result of their last minute hurry.
IlEJOICE
Overconle with joy by the spectacle S
of their big, new stadium, Michigan
alumni cheered their team to a moral
victory over the famed stadium dedi-
cation jinx yesterday afternoon.
Bond-holders on the 40 yard lines,
particular frineds of the Athletic as-
sociation, Tillotson et al in the center
of the field, and just ordinary alumni
who couldn't get any closer than the
goal-posts all had their part in the
glorious victory.

"I (1o not think you are looking very

"Students have no idea of what a
football game is like," declared "Gen-
tleman Jo" Chamerblin in an exclu-'
sive Rolls interview. "For the first
time in my four years of attendance
at Michigan, I have been able to fol-
low our team in action without the
aid of newspaper or radio."

"The biggest trinniph of the after-

up for it later. Kenneth White, in
the role of Duke, did some of the finest
acting of the evening. The mishaps
of the performance limited themselves
to a few fumbled lines.
Something might be said for the
artistic effects in the staging; a lovely
snow-storm, a careful attention to de-
tails in all acts, and good lighting did
their part toward the success of the
play.
I think we are all equally glad that
j-Helen did not marry the Duke, and
amused at Richard's decision to turn
the tables on Maria. Lonsdale has a
happy sense of the ridiculous, and at
the same time of the appropriate.

DE'TROIT PREMIERS {
Two openings occur tonight in De-
troit which are of more than usual in-
terest. "Take' the Air," the second
musical enterprise of Gene Buck, will
have a premiere at the Cass, and
"Hit the Deck," which has prospered
so mightily on B'roadway enters the
New Detroit. Other than this It might
be said that "The Man at Home" con-
tinues at the Shubert Lafayette, and
that "Golden Dawn" remains at the

STUDENT CLASSICAL CLUB
Clubs and organizations are numer-
ous on the Michigan campus ,',but
there is need for still another. The
Classical Journal club which organ-
izes every year and meets once a
month is composed of faculty mem-
bers and graduate students, but un-
dergraduate students who are inter-
ested in the Greek and Latin classics
are not represented in anything of
the sort.
Seven years ago the old Classical
club, which had enjoyed great pop-
ularity in days gone by, faded out of
existence and has never been revived.
This club was interested primarily in
the production of the dramatic
classics. In 1916 a Greek play was
given, and in 1917 they produced a
very successful Latin comedy. Papers
were often given before them by
members of the faculty, and even so-
cial events were sometimes under-
taken by the students.
Such a club could easily be formed
again if enough students were suffi-
ciently interested to give it their at-
tention. It would take much of their
leisure time, but if attacked in the
proper spirit, could be made very
worth while. The question of secur-
ing a dramatic' coach, a hall for meet-
ings and presentations would be a
problem, but - enough costumes and
properties to produce almost any
Greek play or good Latin comedy
were left by the old Classical club,
and could be secured from the cus-
todian.
If faculty members and graduatej
students do not wish to include the
undergraduates in their activities,
they might well sponsor the formation
of such an organization for the
'youn!ger students.
'JTANDING ROOM ONLY
With the recent World Conference
on Population at Geneva the ques-
tion of over-population and its conse-
quent dangers to mankind in general
was for the first time brought out
into the open. As late as a decade ago
the primary principal upon which all
nations proceeded was the thesis that
the larger the population the better
,for the nation as a whole.
In the last few years, however, this
theory has been exploded and at the
present time England and the United
States, at least, have very definite
ninions on the matter. Belginm.

A DEFENSE
To the Editor:
In order that those recently con-
victed of scalping will not be con-
sidered as criminals in the eyes of
the student body, I wish to write a few
words in their defense. The Michigan
statute under which the convictions
were made would probobly be judged
unconstitutional, if appeals had been
made in either of 'the cases. Lack of
funds has thus caused the students in
question to be stamped as guilty of
crime, although in reality they are
innocent.
To support my contention, there is
the. decision of the Supreme court of
the United States made last March in
connection with a New Yor statute,
which was more lenient than the
Michigan law. The Supreme court de-
clared the New York statute uncon-
stitutional 'on the ground that it was
curtailing freedom of contract. The
majority opinion w'ent on to declare
that theaters and other amusements
could not be regulated as a public
utility; and said that, "the interest
of the public in theaters and other
places of entertainment may be more
nearly, and with better reason, as-
similated to the like interest in pro-
vision stores and markets, and the
rental of houses and apartments fort
residence purposes; although in im-
portance it falls below such an inter-
est in the proportion that food and
shelter are of more moment than
amusement or instruction. As we have
shown, there is no legislative power,
to fix the price of provisions or cloth-
ing or the rental charges for houses
or apartments in the absence of some
controlling emergency; and we are
unable to perceive any dissimilarities
of such quality or degree as to justify
a different rule in respect of amuse-
ments and entertainments."
The unlucky students are thus
guilty of no greater crime than is
practiced by Ann Arbor merchants7
every day of the week, and especially
on days of big games. .A Federal

"YOU'RE WELCOME"
"In the year of our Lord, 1927,
the Athletic association brought
forth on this campus a new sta-h
diem, conceived by the Alumni,
and dedicated to' the proposition
that no student may sit within
the goal lines. Now we are en-
gaged in a great inter-collegiate
combat testing whether our team
or some other team shall win the
conference. . We are met in the
newest stadium of that confer-
ence. We have come to dedicate
a portion of that stadium as a
permanent seating place from
which the students shall hence-
forth be excluded.
"It is altogether fitting and
proper that we should do this:
we cannot it on those seats-
we shouldnot sit on those seats.
These great men who have
bought bonds and otherwise won
favor get so much consideration
that our poor power cannot avail.
Tillotson will little note nor long
remember what we say here, but
we shall never forget what we,
failed to see here.
"It is for us, the students,
rather, to sit behind the goal
posts and let the outsiders have
the good seats. It is, rather, for
us to accept the seats remaining
to us-that by this ticket distri-
bution we take what is given to
us or do without-that we here
highly resolve that no outsider
shall apply for good seats in
vain-that this distribution un-

," "THE MAN WHO CONQUERED
he DEATfr;" a novel, by Franz Werfel;
of Shnon and Schuster; 1927; $2.5.
ial A review, by David Scheyer.
re- If Herr Fiala, ex-doorkeeper magnif-
ficient of the Austrian treasury, re-
duced to the post-war shabby pov-
_ erty of the bougeoise, can survive to
t his 65th year, his wife and epileptic
son can collect an astounding number
of marks on his life insurance policy.
Sick unto death, his interior an ulcer-
ous, feculent mass, (a detail described
with gusto -by Herr Werfel), the old
provincial lies in a hospital, fighting
for the boon of a few more days of the
life that will bring a competence to
I his family.
The keynote of the volume seems to
be pity-the pity of the author for his
sordid characters, plunged into misery
by forces greater than they, Pity for

lace, reminiscient of the days of
his uniformed grandeur, Frauhien

was the peer of all ' pastry cooks in

the renegade Jew, sorrowing for form-

cied wrongs. Large gobs of tearsI

"Goat Song" which was almost sue-
I cessful in New York last season.
