KERN I CURRENT EVENTS With the intensive emphasis on col- legiate affair which exists in a collegiate atmosphere, it is very easy indeed for a student to neglect entirely the fact that there is an outside world in which world events are occurring. It is easy for him, for instance, to know the name of every member of the football team without once realizing that the League of Na- tions is planning a new disarmament con- ference, and the net result of this lop- sidedness can not help but be a perver- sion of vauiesr which will prove detri- mental to the college trained men and women. In order to aid in avoiding this situa- tion, and in order to give the university students of the nation an incentive for watching the ebb and tide of national and international events,;the New York Times, during the past two years has sponsored a current events contest in the leading universities of the United States. This contest, started in a modest way, has now been extended to 20 universi- ties, and Michigan, as in previous years, is one of the participants. The prizes offered are generous in- deed. In each college and university there will be given $15o and a medal as first prize, $75 as a second prize, and $25 as third prize. In addition to this offer, the best paper written in any of the 20 col- leges will receive in addition an award, of $Soo. The University here owes it to her; reputation to take advantage of this re- markable opportunity offered her. Mich-; igan should have at least 100 participants in this contest, for if nothing mcre than; an incentive to follow current history is gained, all those entering will be well re-, paid. The questions asked will cover the period of a whole year. The time to begin working on them is now. The faculty committee is already at work, and all that is needful to make the con-; test a complete success at this Univer- sity is co-operation of the student body.- Michigan has not a reputation for fail- ing in worthwhie enterprises; she must not fail in this one.' GENERALITIES Hotel men of the United States have sworn, through the medium of their na- tional convention in session at Kansas it. 'u that thev have indivhiuall large body of representative men, and it would be suicidal for a convention of hotel men to make a statement which pointed the way to any other conclusion than that above. But the phrasing of the professional credo is somewhat dulled by first hand examinations. Especially is this true in a neighboring city where the number of hotels with unofficial bars at- tached is exceedingly high, and where the card of admission is the key to an eve- ning of alcoholic indulgence safe from the eyes of the law. At least more to the point the Kansas City convention de- claration is the result of a report made by a separate committee, which states that "there should be discouraged any prac- tice of patrons which might be construed as a bare-faced defiance of the law." FAIR PLAY With the approval by the State Depart- ment of General Jose Moncada, Liberal leader, as a candidate for president of Nicaragua at the impending elections, the star of liberal power seems to be in the ascendency in Central America, and the progressive government appears to be on the horizon for revolution-scarred Nicar- aguans. The Conservatives, according to Mon- cada, are split into a half dozen or more factions and the radicals under Sandino have been discredited. To an impartial observer, at least, it looks as though the Liberals stand an excellent chance of riding into power. The trouble with Nicaragua thus far seems to have been the lack of dynamic leadership toward any definite policy. As a result of this weakness and vacil- lation it has been necessary for the United States to interfere time and again until the Nicaraguans themselves must doubt whether they have minds of their own. But Moncada promises different things- he promises religious freedom, educa- tion, stability; he promises, in short, to awaken Nicaragua from her lethargy, and to form in Central America some- thing which has never been formed there before-a nation. The State Depart- ment is to be commended for recognizing his legitimate candidacy. GREAT BRITAIN AND EGYPT Conversations on the question of out- standing importance to Egypt and Great Britain are about to begin between Sir Austen Chamberlain and Abdul Khalek Sarwat Pasha, Egypt's Prime Minister, who has just arrived in London. While it is little expected that the conversations will result in an immediate agreement on the four controversial topics to be con- sidered, it is hoped, nevertheless, that it may be possible to find a basis of settle- ment at least on one of them which in turn may prove the way to an agreement on the others. the talks will center around the fa- mous four "reserved points" which Great Britain set aside for settlement by ne- gotiation at some future date when it declared Egypt independent in February,' 1922. These are, namely: the security of the British Empire's communications the defense of Egypt against foreign ag- gression; the protection of foreign inter- ests and minorities in Egypt; and the control of the Sudan. Sarwat Pasha himself is said to be anxious for settlement. With minds of men such as Lord Lloyd, the British High Commissioner in Egypt, who would take part in the final negotiations, and Sir Austen Chamberlain, concentrating on the specific problem at hand it would not be surprising if important negotia- tions should result from the parley.

It was produced before the war, but for all the passage of time it is a splendid pic- ture of a delightfully damn-fool wife. Personally, I hesitate to call the scen- airio reading scene in the second act good dramatic construction but I must admit that if it is theoretically bad, actually it hilariously funny with Woelhaf putting just enough slapstick into his interpre- tation of the "Shenarist" to make him a vivid personality. Woelhaf does so dazz- lingly, in fact, that in his subsequently in- significant actions he seems weak. But that is perhaps the writers' fault for mak- ing him so startling in the first place. Phyllis Loughton's performance of Dulcy herself, the lovably dumb wife is a splendid combination of clever acting and sustained emotion. For the moment she is lovely Dulcy. The only reflection that arises is that the real Dulcy proba- bly had less difficulty in handing out her terrible line. But if Miss Loughton is by nature not a fluent chatter-box she gives a splendid performance of one. Two splendid bits are Lillian Setch- ell's appealing ingenue and Cristy's trucu- lent oaf. The latter sticks out like a sore thumb. Robrt Wetzell's direction is notewor- thy. He has a sure sense for dramatic values and the success of the show is a tribute to his ability. * * * "THlE PLAY'S THE THING" Ferenc Molnar's very tricky comedy of no manners at all, "The Play's The 'Thing," with the cast headed by Hol- brook Blinn, will enter the Garrick the- ater Sunday night for one week.

The supporting cast includes Martha Lorber, late danseuse of the F.ollies" as the prima donna, Her- bert Druce who plays the lyric writer, and Harry Nestayer and Gavin Muir, the gentlemen who are in love with the diva. * * * "THE LORDLY ONES," a novel by B.

(Minnesota Alumni Weekly) Michigan has joined the list of Big Ten Universities prohibiting the student auto- mobile. Only in exceptional cases here- after will the student on the Wolverine campus be allowed to propel himself about with the use of the gasoline vehicle. This action of the Michigan board of Re- gents was" based upon the large number of student auto accidents taking place in Ann Arbor last year. At Minnesota, the power be thanked, no such action will be instituted. Presi- dent Coffman feels, and rightly so, that the auto is a student necessity. Where more than 6o per cent of our students live in the Twin Cities and go home every night, the use of an auto is an absolute necessity to facilitate the rapid move- ment of traffic. We at Minnesota are constrained to extend condolence to the students at Michigan feeling that Ahe wiser move on the part of the Wolverine regents would have been to punish the most serious of- fenders, depriving them of their cars, and allowing the others the use of the auto as long as their conduct is consist- I ent with the accepted University code.

Without an atti- tude which enables one to appreciate the subtlety of the sophistication of the work 'the reader may easily find himself re- pulsed by ideas and suggestions of the a work. But with the attitude, is is pos- sible to appreciate the sophisticated, slightly cynical tone of the whole. And in excusing, the ideas and suggestions preparatory to appreciation the reader finds that he is delving back into those hidden recesses of his mind and thinking. Therefore Lehman has justification for the book in inducing his readers to think, if for no other reason. WHILE Professor Hobbs is still ab- sent, Mayor Thompson of Chicago ought to be secured as a suitable sub- stitute.
