Lindy.
In awarding the medal upon behalf
of the National Geographic society,
President- Coolidge said, "He deter-
mined to capitalize his fame not for
selfish aggrandizement, but for the
promotion of the art he loved. He
was unmoved by the many opportuni-
ties for private gain." That, to be
sure, is the mark of.achievement and
it is significant that the National Geo-
graphic society has selected Colonel
Lindbergh as the person most deserv-
ing of the Hubbard medal, awarded
for "conspicuous achievement."
It would be a difficubt task indeed
to find one more deserving of this
award than the "apostle of aeronau-
tics" who, through his missionary
tour of 22,000 miles across the con-
tinent has made plausible, air plans for
1928 that far surpass any dream of
aeronautical activity up until the
time of Lindy's flight last May.
THE MISSOURI PLN
With the convention of many meet-,

I

ings to demand action on flood control
and with the recent disasters in the
Vermont area which call to the at-
tention of Congress the great havoc
which is wrought in such happenings,
the announcement of thew first plan
for the protection of the Mississippi
area comes as a welcome note for the
future.
The plan, prepared by a union of
forces under the leadership of Sen-
ator Harry Hawes of Missouri, has
reaped the benefit of the discussions
and the investigations, and it seems to
be complete enough at the present
time so that it may safely be present-
ed to the house committee for study.
It provides-and in this feature much
of the vision is evident-not only for
the control of the river and the pre-
vention of floods, but also will en-
large the channel and make many im-
provements which will make the river
more accessible.
The wisdom of the administration
of the plan is reflected in the fact that
the entire work is to be placed in the
hands of the war department, with full
power to go ahead to the completion
of the work, and in the fact that the
control of the work and the executive
power is put in the hands of a non-
political board with official powers of
control.
On the whole, the plan seems to
offer more than the Army plan, since
it combines all of the best features of
the Army plan with features of con-
trol and administration which seem
very wise. If the whole attitude of
those who have the problem under
advisement continues to run in the
channels which it has followed to
date it seems thant w m- x , e. t

Michigan's own motion picture pro-
duction, of the students, by the stu-
dents, and for the alumni, has been.
completed. The cameramen have1
folded up like the sheiks and silently
slipped away. And we are now faced
with the announcement that the stu-
dents of the University are not even
going to be given an opportunity to
see the picture in whose production
they played so vital a part.
* * * .
Few are the students in the Univer-
sity who were not included in the
numerous exposures on and about the I
campus. And now only alumni are to1
be given the benefit of these artistic
endeavors.r
Jlany a student has become so dis-
gusted with the alunii that even in
the great void after graduation he
will refuse to enter their associations.
These students may niever have the I
opportunity of seeing themselves as
the alumni see them.
* * *
The student body must rise against
this fresh denial of its rights. We
must fight on, on-to the bitter end
when we too become alumni. The full
support of the Rolls executive board I
is lent to this great constructive meas-t
ure. Already the demands are pour-I
ing in.

WEE, the PEEPPUL......
With the few rights that remain to
the student body, it is at least logical1
to demand that the campus movie,I
featuring perhaps the three greatestt
amateur stars in the world (two of;
them being journalists) should be
shown on the campus. Didn't we do-1
nate the scenery and the local color?r
Whoozis.

IN THE NAMf1E OF BEAUTY AND ART
Dear Bennie-
We hear rumors that the campust
movie is being carefully shuntedt
from projection on the campus. As'
the bard said, "Oh that such beautyt
should blush unseen." Let's bringt
pressure to bear. How about having7
the president appoint a committee to
investigate the committee on the1
movie?

T'lHE THEATER GUIL)D
Mr. Bernard Shaw - dramatist,
critic, novelist, socialist, vegetarian,
and egoist extraordinary, is variously
known by the foregoing applications,
and many, many people claim that he
is with Ibsen and Eugene O'Neill, the
only luminary in the dramatic horizon
worthy of any note whatsoever.
All this is pretty true, if you ac-
cept the eulogies of the Shavian ex-
perts with limiting modifications. And
his plays are for the most part both
practical and amusin~g in production.
This is aptly proved by the fact that
the New York Theater Guild has had
one of them on their program every
year. For the current season it is
"The Doctor's Dilemma" which enters
the Guild theater somie time next week
for a New York premiere, after hav-
ing opened in Chicago some time ago.
At that time "Porgy"-the Guild's
first production this year (and it is a
hit)-goes to the Republic.
Last year the Guild produced1
Shaw's "Pygmalion" and "Arms and
the Man" which comes to the Whitney
tomorrow night with George Gaul and
Florence Eldridge in the leading roles.
This will be the first of three produc-
tions-the others, being Ferenc Mol-
nar's "The Guardsman," A. A. Milne's
"Mr. Pim Passes By," and Sidney
Howard's "The Silver Cord." "Mr.
Pim Passes By" wich is a part of
the touring company's repertoire was
not originally, scheduled for an Ann
Arobr showing, but- it has recently
been announced for a Thanksgiving
matinee.
SIIAKESPEARE ON BROADWAY
Max Reinhardt's long awaited New
York season will begin at the Century
theater tomorrow night. The produc-
tion is William Shakespeare's "A Mid-
summer Night's Dream," which makes
two Shakespearean openings this
week, since the American Laboratory
Theater is presenting "Much Ado
About Nothing" on Friday night. The
ballet for the Reinhardt production-
will be under the direction of Tilly
Loseb, prima danseuse; the Men-
deissohn incidental music will be used.
The cast is mostly imported from the
Berlin and Vienna theaters and in-
cludes Alexander Moissi, the German
actor, and Rosamond Pinchot, the
beautiful Hungarian last seen in "The
Miracle."

Lending Library.
A review by R. Leslie Askren
This story of the 'big tops' and the
sawdust ring is a collection of the
vivid recollections of Tully's boyhood
which he spent as a worker with
Cameron's "Big as Barnum's" Circus.
The life was crude and vicious, espe-
ially for an adolescent boy, and these
tories are a clear mirror of the life
fe led.
Tully's manner of story telling is
'ealism. But to call it merely realism
s to class it with the rest of those
ague-writing weaklings who, lacking
magination, turn uncertainly to pho-
ographic journalism to give their
apidities effect. Tully's style is like
