It is inevitable in this situation that the official representation of the United States is in Mexico City of paramount importance. Recently James Sheffield, worn by the cares of the office has resigned, and in his place President Coolidge has ap- pointed Dwight W. Morrow, a Wall street banker and personal friend of. the President. Whether the choice will prove wise or not is a problem which time alone can solve, but on the face of things there are conditions which augur trouble for all parties in this latest appointment. In the first place the principal dif- ficulties which the United States has had with Mexico have been based on the question of commercial interests held by Americans within the Mexi-, can republic. It is only reasonable to suppose that the man chosen for the ambassadorship should be in a po- sition to act as mediator between these interests and the Mexican gov- ernment-perhaps even as an arbiter in their difficulties-but in the face of this situation Mr. Coolidge has chosen one who symbolizes all that the American commercial classes stand for, a Wall street man through and through, trained in the school of J. P. Morgan. Naturally the Mexican government' will have to accept the man, but his residence and official status can not but constitute a source of constant an- noyance to all administration that is already harrassed by everf variety of radicalism that the world has to offer. Perhaps the appointment of Mr. Mor- row will be vindicated' in time, but on the surface of things it looks as though President Coolidge might have done well to go outside the circle of his personal friends in choosing the new Mexican ambassador. * * * Dr. Tom Lovell, University of Michi- gan newsboy par excellence, yesterday announced his intentidn of taking his acknowledged talent in singing and lecturing before the country in a ,ation-wide tour. * * * : "A good, live manager is all I am vaiting for," stated Dr. Tom to a Rolls special correspondent. "There ought to be some good, live chap with enough ability to put such a tour across. That's all I'm waiting for right now." * * * * s "There's millions uf dollars in it," burst out the doctor. "I am known by 100,000 grads, and there's not a one of them but would be willing and glad to pay $5 a seat to hear me speak to them again. They all know my repu- tation." ** * When asked what sort of a program he had planned, Dr. Lovell waxed en-' thusiastic. "It's the same thing I've been telling them, in rooms and fra-j ternities, for the past 15 years," he stated. "I'm going to expose the rot-t ten teaching in this University, just like I've been doing for years." . * * * "What do these msen know aboutl mankind?" exploded the noted lee. turer. "Where is the man -who stood by and watched a monkey change into a mani Where is that man? What is his nameI Where did'he live? Where is.E his written record of what he saw,c What do they know about it? I tell youc God made man,' and not a lot of wind- bag scientists." * * * "Science," explained the doctor, "isf all a fake. And what's more, I can prove it. It's the simplest thing in the world. It's just like A, B and C. That's what I've been telling them right heret in rooms and fraternities, for the lasti 15 years." ]THEATER B1O7O K I for THE MS 'AL SEA1O! , meant to start beating the mru the Choral Union and Extra Con- Reporters rgaret Arthur Donald J.

For many years in the past there, h:as been, at the time of registration, n righteous protest at a system which was necessary but never the less try- ing on- the. patience of thousands of prospective students and students re- turning once again to complete their education.'It seemed, from the stand- point of the student,' that many of the things that were required by the ex- igencies of wholesale bookkeeping were entirely chargeable to mere "red tape" and would-be "efficiency" sys- tem. This year marked a pleasant depar- ture fromthe usual. The offices of the Registrar and the Recorder, cooperat- ing with the treasurer, spent many- months lat spring studying the situa- tion from the standpoint of the stu- dent. The faced the situation as one which needed remedy-and they earn- estly so lit a remedy which would benefit loth the students and the Uni- Versity dals. The s pdand the ease with which it was po sble to register and classify this year showed that the efforts had gone a long way in the right direction. Much of the needless "standing in line" was eliminated. And throughout the MALNG TF1N LES' Out of the midst of the platitudes that are uisually necessarily attendant i upon a dedication, there came the other day a wistful statement for the future. President Coolidge, delivering the principal -address at the opening ceremonies for the Lincoln Memorial' library at the South Dakota State Col- lege, presented his hearers with the' hought that unless the colleges were consecrated to the worship of truth, to be reverently approached by youth, that all their science and all their art1 could never be the means of true ad- r'ancement. There is something more there than the bald statement, a feeling corrob- orated by a single glance at our own campus, where reverence is at best a rather elusive quality. It is noteworthy that the President should have made his' observation coincident with the joining of a library with a college. Through his ,words he seems to lean toward the softening and developing quality of books as a saving grace in too-highly organized education. It is through lit- erature that the immediate confusions of the campus can be brought into a different light for the individual; it' is through the words and the hopes of others that the finer appreciation is gained. There is something more in learning and life, the President said, than mere acquisition of wealth and mere knowl- edge that are first set up to students. He believes that where we advance, !admiration must lead the way; and that these institutions of learning may be approached in that spirit, they must" assume the character of temples. First among these temples he wisely sets the library, and upon the shoulders' of that building he sets the burden of eliminating waste in the educational process through a working contact with its treasures. ON A iNEW BASIS , f With the beginning of this college' Detroit will be the starting point of the tour, according to Doctor Lovell's plans. S'aginaw will be the next stop. And from there, the route will swing toward the great open spaces, which as the speaker explains, are filled with Michigan men. The doctor's announcement came as a complete surprise to the campus. Shocked BMOCs and large numbers of common students have been pass- ing all day, inquiring solicitiously as to the bombshell of the unofficial cam- pus professor. Many have pleaded with him to remain, but the doctor remains firm in his resolve to appear before the alumni. "Only a good, live man- ager," he repeats, "and I'll be on my way." ' * * * m E cert series yesterday, and I forgot everything about it; but it is not an omission due to any negative quality in that program. Every lover of things musical should have whooped with joy when he saw the dodger announcing the artists. Gigh, Raisa, Rimini, Cha- liapin, Maier and Pattison, Hofmann and Luboshutz, and the letroit and New York Symphonies-it really is the prodigal entertainment that C e Sink and Earl Moore have ever i%'o- vided. Not only is there an exceptional group of those artists who can be de- pended on for something interesting, but the others-the ones who'have almost' arrived bit not quite, and who aren't yet commanding a four-figure salary-are worth going to hear. Myra Hess, who is the English pianiste you heard so much about last season, is finishing the Extra Concert group, and Paul Rochanski, who fills in on the Choral Union group, is the Russian violinist Olin Downes got so excited about year before last. And if you like it,, there is Mr. Christiansen's St. Olaf Lutheran choir, and the Flonzaley quartet, which is probably about the bestia the field of chamber music Gigi opens the show in about twot weeks, and letshould make it suffic- iently, noisy. This opening is a little earlier than usual because Gilgi's elates at the Metropolian are mixed up some way. And anyway, he only sings about once or twice a year in the provinces, so they were lucky to get him at all. Gilgi is about the third or fourth best tenor in the world. Rich- ard Crooks has a voice of better quality, and Martinelli sings with greater artistry. His English articula- tion used'to be terrible-but I imagine hell sing mostly in Italian-and he is immensely popular. Giacomo Rimini and his wife Rose Raisa-they call her the female Rimini-usually give a few joint re- citals during the season, and if I told you what they get for it you wouldn't believe me. There's much more that can be said about them, for Rosa is grande dame at the Chicago Civic just now, and with Rimini, who usually. sings their Francesoda Rimini and their Isabean, they form a formidable combination. Moreover, the concerts and recitals are all woithy of as much shouting as any columnist is capable of, and more extensive comment on the other num- bers of both series will appear later; you can't go wrong no matter how many adjectives you use about either. THEATER, BOOKS AND MUSIC rec- ommends both theartists and the pro- grams with almost no reservations, mental or otherwise. If I don't think much of the Flonzaley quartet I'm not mentioning the fact; the rest is too good to be true. * * * TIE ZIEGFELD FOLHIES. A Ueview, by Vincent Wall. Perhaps they're not so elaborately staged this year, but at least they have Claire Luce and a million of the most beautiful girls in America. Not only that, but there is Eddie Cantor to furnsh some rather raucous humor- and the Brox sisters to croon blues ditties and Ruth Etting to sing them; and Irene Delroy. Now that the "Folhies" have attained their majority-Mr. Ziegfeld produced the first edition in 197-M'vr. Zieg- feld proceeds to delve about in the archives and produce a revue which glorifies himself more than anyone else. There is an opening chorus of shop girls and sixteen society girls, who "want to be glorified by Mr. Zieg- feld as only Mr. Ziegfeld can." And then Mr. Ziegfeld himself appears in the person of Andrew Tombes and as- sures them that 'if you have perfect lefts and perfect rights, you'll soon be in electric lights." As proof there is a parade of some of the diverse alumnae of the Ziegfeld college: Fannie Brice, Marylyn Miller, Ann Pennington and Dolores. And the entertainment throughout the evening is lavish-as always .. . a Ziegfeld chorus in Sammy Lee rou- tines . ... the Albertina Rasch girls in a ballet of bubbles . . . . Joseph Ur- ban settings . . . . the ponies swinging through the trees of an African set- ting, and singing the "Jungle Jingle" .Ruth Etting and the Banjo In- genues "Shaking the Blues Away" Claire Luce riding ostrich and looking very bored-and dancing in white ostrich feathers with two huge fans . .'. . twelve girls playing twelve highly forte golden pianos . . . To chronicle the entire show from end to end would be impossible. But you can depend on the "Follies" to provide a series of novelties and some humor. Not the intimate and subtle humor of the "Grand Street Follies"- mt the humor of Eddie Cantor, broad aiid slapstick. And there are always fhe ladies of the ensemble perfect, from their marcelled blondness to the l I I d 1 I CAMPUS CHATTERINGS "When Professor Campbell sug- gested little green bags for bring- ing our books to class," mused the thoughtful Junior, 'm wondering just what he could have meant." , , , ROLLS FRESIPIAN WEEK Today's Program. 8:00-12:00-Inspection tour. 1 0 o4 b-Sample classes. 5:00-6: 00-Atletic events, on Angell Hall steps. 7:45-10:30 - General knowledge te'st. __ ___ t 31, course of the 'lllingness to operation a cer- cooperate and a ready understanding of difficulties was apparent- From the standpoint of the student there wasalso a cooperation without 'which the whole plan would have been unavailing. Students appreciated the; effort which was being exercised in their behalf and ,they met the situa- tion as one which demanded their sup- port. The authorities who engineered the plan for registration are to be com- mnended for their intelligent efforts nd for the success of their plan, as are the students for their cooperation. It is to be hoped that this plan and its success marks the beginning of a period of letter understanding be- tween the faculty and the students, and an era wherein the small difficul- ties which delay both will be ironed out by common agreement and coop- eration and n'ot perpetuated by grumb- ling and remarks about "the system." THE CHOICE OF MORROW. To call Mexico a hotbed of politics would do an injustice to the compara- . year, the new school of forestry be- gins as a separate unit of the Uni- versity. At its head is a man who has served many years in the pursuit of forestry and has made a name for, himself in such endeavors. On its staff are men who have forged their way .to the front in their field, and men W.ho are capable of imparting to others the knowledge that is theirs. It is' fitting that in the State of' Michigan there should be a school of -this kind. And it is especially fitting because of the fact that the depart- ment, before it reached its prese'nt status, was preeminent in forestry and conservation affairs in the state and in the Middle West. With such a staff, such a leader, and such ideals as have been set up by the department in previous years, the department bids fair to prosper and' to become one more important unit' in that service which the University is rendering to its students.
