WELCOME, , VYI Michigan is glad to welcome again the hosts of midship- men, their alumni and their friends. In what promises to be one of the most colorful Interse- tional gamnes of the season the representatives of the two insti- tutions will meet on' te gridiron this afternoon. May the friendly spirit of rivalry which has already characterized their mutual rela- tions mark that contest and many others In future years. BACK ON THE LINE A few days ago the Eastern sport- ing world-and Yale especially-was stricken with the announcement that Bruce Caldwell, star halfback and mainstay of the Blue had been de- clared ineligible on a small technical- ity, and this preceding one of the most important and colorful contests of the season, the Princeton game. Follow- ing upon the heels of this blow came a request from the faculty and mem- bers of the Princeton team that Caldwell be allowed to play despite the ruling. The request was denied by Yale. The contrast between these cour- ageous steps and the rumpus of last year between Harvard and Princeton is sufficient to excite attention, and the one serves to almost obliterate the bad taste left by the other. Yale is to be commended for her stand in re- gard to the ineligibility of her players, and her display of moral strength and pride in maintaining her declared po- sition in the face of a sportsmanslike but illogical offer. The Tiger, on the other hand, went a long way toward creating a long-standing bond of good feeling by its princely request. Both institutions acted in the spirit that is characteristic of the game, and neither will ever have cause to be sorry. The only remaining grounds for regret concern the blight which the, incident has placed on the career of Caldwell, who is known to be an out- standing sportsman himself, and the basis of the action which was created bysch flmsvechnnia onnstruction.I a year since the last proposal has been made, and the elapse of time does not improve the condition of that gigantic enterprise from a physical standpoint. Now Senator Norris of Nebraska has leaped into the limelight with the statement that the great power units can not practicably be used for the manufacture of nitrate fertilizer, and that to continue such a proposal would be to delude the American farmer. Senator Norris substantiates his as- sertions with evidence, and the whole situation comes farther yet from so- lution.; At present Muscle Shoals is a tre- mendous white elephant. It could be used to generate power, or it could be sold. It could be leased or destroy- ed, and in any case be more economi- cal to maintain than it is at present. It is a monumental evidence of gove- ernmental vacillation, and the cost of thatdvacillation. If the American peo- ple demand little else from the next Congress, they should certainly de- mand that some disposal be made of Muscle Shoals. DEMOCRACY SOMERSAULTS One of the most interesting political battles of several years occurred this year in New York state, and though it was obscured in this section of the country by local campaigns of para- mount interest, it should not be allow- ed to pass without comment. The Republicans of New York, it seems, struggled desperately to se- cure popular ratification of an amend- ment which would have given the governor of that state a four year term, with election in the presiden- tial years. This obviously would en- hance the power of the Republicans in state. politics tremendously, since the Republican rural districts of up- state New York appear at the polls in force on thesehoccasions and would doubtless turn the tide in a close bat- tle. Needless to say, the forces of Gov- ernor Al Smith and his Democratic organization opposed this amendment tooth and nail, since it would mean that invariably the Democrats would face a possible Republican presiden- tial landslide when they campaigned for governor. It is well to know that with a strong man at the head of a ticket, the whole ballot is likely to be swept into office from his momentum, and the New York Democrats do not fancy the prospect of facing a power- fulRepublicantpresidential candidate with their state ticket. In the election held this week the proposal of the Republicans for the four year term was decisively defeat. ed; and now the most interesting as- pect of the whole situation has arisen. If the election of a governor in the presidential years would handicap the Democrats, then the election of the governor only in the off years would be an advantage to them, and fol- lowing this line of reasoning they have turned a complete somersault and an- nounced that they will project a meas- ure to establish the election of a gov- ernor for four year terms with the election midway between the presi- dential years. To meet them, the New York Re- publicans have also reverted to the opposite side, and will now oppose the four year term, contending that the present two year term, where the governor is elected half the time with the president and half the time alone is ideal. Through it all, of course, both par- ties have attempted to obscure their selfish motives by a smoke screen of high sounding political expressions. There is no use attempting to deceive the public, however, for the object of both stands is as plain as can be, so leaving all considerations of Al Smith's bid for the presidency out of the consideration of the present sit- uation, it assumes one of the most interesting aspects thaat a political situation can. New York state is to be treated to the prospect of two great political parties both turning their principles upside down, and still re- maining in diametrically opposite po- sitions. THE MOVIES AS EDUCATORS 'With the use of the radio as a media of education in all parts of the world becoming of increasing importance, recent developments in France indi- cate that moving pictures will soon rival the radio in that respect. After seriously considering the merits of moving pictures for educational pur- poses, the French senate has just passed a resolution calling upon the Minister of Education, M. Herriot, to prepare a bill "permitting rational general utilization of the cinema in all branches of instruction and in the social and professional education of citizens." Recognizing the supremacy of the United States in regard to the motion nicture industry. Senator Bremier. time, 25,000 are in the United States and 3,000 in France." It is important that France is obviously awakened to the fact that they are lagging behind as far as the motion picture industry is concerned. With steps already begun and spon- sored to pass a bill which will bring about the use of moving pictures in the schools, it will not be a surprise if France is the first to put this new media of education into effect. DIPLOMA TIC AGREEMENT The past year has been particularly prolific in conferences and conven- tions, which, if they have not straight- ened out situations for time everlast- ing, have certainly done much for understanding and for conciliation, instead of hard feeling and cut-throat competition. The attention of the whole world has been focussed on these gatherings and the outcome of all of them has been that more and more organization and g'roups are seeking to settle their difficulties by amicable discussion and agreement. The latest conference which shows promises of accomplishing some lasting good is the one of European nations on international trading. The object of the gathering was admittedly to make a clean sweep of the existing regulations and prohibitions on im- ports and exports and it has ended in the acquiesence of 16 nations to the proposal that they join in remov- I ing the imports and export duties which restrain trade. It is important, now that many of the countries of Eurpoe are :recover- ing from their war panic, that they do all things possible to stimulate the trade of their countries. Taking steps to remove the duties and to open the channels of trade so that all articles may be easily and cheaply procured is a logical step which will do much for intercourse in Europe and will at the same time stimulate an under- standing and an interest in other races which will lead to amity and friend- ship.

For the first time in its exist- ence, there has been sufficient material for the tenor sections. In the past Theodore Harrison has been badly put to find enough voices in this depart- ment, while there have been baritones and basses enough to spare. How- ever, this is rather a chronic situation in a great many clubs. For this reason, this is the first year that Mr. Harrison has been able to try certain effects that are rather difficult to achieve. For instance, he can bring the entire club into a forte passage, and at the same time not worry about the baritone section cove- ering the tenors. This permits a more flexible organization, and assures a more varied repertoire. The first concert of the season was given last night in Mt. Clemens, and the first Ann Arbor concert will be CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY Of the University of Mithigan, Ann Arlor Announces a Free Lecture On Christian Science Entitled "Christian Science: Its Mission and l eadler" By Professor Hermann S.

AID OF A DIPLOMA To the Editor: Being only a sophomore I haven't as yet been completely exposed to what they call "higher education," so 1 I may not be capable of judging the idea of the university college. Since, however, I haven't as yet found out what added knowledge comes after the second year of university work, I can easily put myself in the place of the students of the university college which is soon to be initiated at Michi- gan. If I were to "graduate"from being a sophomore next spring I could plan to stop school without disgrace. With a diploma in my possession I could easily sally forth to the world of business, of industry, or of society with my head held high. If I wanted to take up a profession I could do so and the diploma wouldn't make any difference. Taken at a cursory glance this all seems rather absurd. Why not just stop school and make no bones about it? As we look at the matter more care- fully, however, we can pick out sev- eral arguments in favor of such a sys- tem, arguments which from the stu- dents' point of view are powerful. In the first place, such a diploma would not le merely a second, and thus use- less, high school diploma. It would be a distinctly higher honor, provid- ing that the standards of work done in the university college were kept up. Secondly, with curricula planned espe- cially to meet the needs of students who intended to partake of no more schooling, the two extra years could be of great value. And in the third place, if some of the cultural subjects' which are now restricted to juniors and seniors should be opened to the university college students, a lot of needless waiting could be eliminated and many students could get "what they came to college for" in two years as well as some of them now do in four. Also, the fact that freshmen and sophomores of all the schools and colleges would be included on the same basis would be an advantage to them. The professions themselves would be put on a more uniform level than is now possible. If I could think that next spring I might graduate from an institutio'n embracing such principles as these, I would just as soon "make bones about it." -E. C. A. um, although the club will sing at the convocation tomorrow morning. * * * It might also be mentioned that Mr. Harrison has promised Mr. Shuter a double quartet for the opera this year. This will be used pricipally in the "Indigo Strain," where the quartet will sing counter melody from Gersh- win's "Rhapsody in Blue" against a solo by Robert Graham, '29. * * * "COPPER SUN," poems, by Countee Cullen; New York: Harpers; 1927; $2. A review, by Lenoir Beatrice Smith. In Countee Cullen's former poems there has been an elegance, an aristo- cratic lightness, a rapier-like twist of phrase that has strongly suggested the Cavalier poets. An unusual fresh- ness with a consistent perfection of line brought thoughts of Edna St. Vin- cent Millay. That these similarities have been recognized by the poet himself is in- dicated by the fact that he dedicates his newest book Copper Sun, "To The Not Impossible Her." Millay has a poem called "For The Not Impossible Him," and Richard Crashaw in his "Wishes To His-Supposed Mistress" calls her the not impossible She. One of the most striking things in this work of Cullen's is his divorce- ment from a certain racial bitterness that was present in Color. He has fewer poems about his race, and they are the objective sort of thing that any great writer might do. He appre- ciates, he understands, and sympa- thizes, but his artistic vision is not compromised. The Negro lad is fast becoming the universal artist. The whole roster of emotions are there. At one end of his sectrum are found the warm fervent rays of exalt- ed love, ecstasy, faith; and even Jesus of Nazareth. At the other are the cold actinic beams of cynicism, cruel- ty, scorn. Between are quiet reflec- tion and loveliness. At one time he curses his mistress for the jade that she is, and looks up from her kisses to the girl passing "up that hill," while again he is the timid lover who regards his lady love as a "golden damson hung upon a silver bough," but whose will would never flow "past the frail intent." With a transcendent spirituality he writes of 'life after death, and soul's reincarnation, while in the next poem or so, he has his souls living again only as modern science would have them live-by re- turning to the soil the precious ele- ments that were given into their keep- ing for a while. Now it is a sonnet at the grave of Keats in Rome, or a glorious paen "On the Mediterranean Sea," and then he immediately switch- es to tell of "Uncle Jim," an old Ne- gro philosopher down on a Southern plantation. Universality of subject, variety of form, and beauty of expression are outstanding qualities in Copper Sun. There are one or two ordinary things but the many gems make up for them, 'one, and by no means the least of which, is his epitaph for Amy Lowell, where he says: She leans across a golden table Confronts God with an eye Still puzzled by the standard label All flesh bears: Made to die- And questions Him if He is able To reassure her why.
