education does not diminish their

students from Dartmouth College

task of clearing up mud and debris
from the ruins.
It is indeed worthy of note, particu-
larly by those who bemoan the physi-
cal lackadaisacalness of those who
are able to attend college, that when
the occasion arises they are willing
to give their attention to things be-

DIANA-On H er Way to New York University
FORMER college generations remember
the old Madison Square Garden (the
creation of the late Stanford White) which
housed Moody and Sankey Revivals, Barnum
Circus, Six-Day ..icycle RacesTex Rickard's
Prize Fights, Horse Shows, Democratic Con-
ventions, etc. Gracefully and serenely poised
on top, the St. Gaudens statue of Diana was
for years an outstanding figure in the New
York skyline.
Diana is experiencing discomforts of de-
tours but is on her way to an appropriate
spot on the New York University Campus.
Illustration shows Diana about to step off
on her way to college-in splendid physical
condition and destined to rank high among
the college immortals.
The old Otis Elevator that bore many
famous people to the White Studio in the
O T I S EL E VAT
Tower has been junked. The New York
Life Insurance Company is erecting a huge
office building on the site of Madison
Square Garden, as shown above.
The elevator equipment of the new build-
ing for the New York Life Insurance Com-
pany, Cass Gilbert, Architect, consists of 33
Otis Automatic Signal Control Elevators,
operating at high speed, and equipped with
the Micro-Drive or self-leveling feature; in
addition to some few smaller and less impor-
tant machines.
Signal Control is automatic and the ele-
vators are operated by pressure of buttons
in the car or on the floors, all stopping
and starting of the car being done auto-
matically and in response to the calls
registered on the controller by the pressing
of such buttons.

WELCOME, MINNESOTA!
Wecome Minnesota! On the
occasion of the nineteenth meet-
ing between the Gopher and Wol-
verine grid teams, Michigan takes
pleasure in receiving again the
players, students, alumni, and
friends of Minnesota. It has al-
ways recognized the Northmen as
strong and respected rivals; and
it looks particularly to the game
this afternoon as a fitting climax
to the 1927 season.
HATS OFF!
Win or lose, hats off today to the
members of Michigan's 1927 Varsity
football squad who are going into
their last game of football for Michi-
gan this afternoon on the occasion of
the final game of the season with
Minnesota. They have served Michi-
gan exceptionally well during the past
three years, and many of them have
played a vital part in giving Michigan
a three year record with but three de-
feats and a string of victories equal-
led by few other elevens in the
country.
According to the coaches and those
who work from the inside, football is
not all glory and glamour and sheer
sport; football entails a long period
of training, hard work with very little
play' Michigan's gridiron warriors
playing their last game today are
more than deserving of any acclaim
that has been, is now and may in the
future be theirs. They are:

SOLVED: A PROBLEM IN
THEATER MANAGEMENT
Thursday night we, a potential part
of the theater-going public of Ann
Arbor witnessed the solution of a
problem which has baffled theater-
managers from time immemorial. The
managers of the Theater Guild pro-I
ductions showed how the most money
could be made in a house which con-
tains cheap seats. Lock up the cheap!
seats and keep them vacant! How
does it happen that no manager has
ever thought of this before? All of
the one dollar and sixty-five cent
seats and most of the two dollar seats
were sold before any requests were
made for "rush" seats.. We were told
that if all the higher priced seats were
sold the gallery would be opened. A
few high priced seats were not sold,
and at a quarter to nine we walked
home. We were told that the play
could not be enjoyed properly from
the gallery. We knew that; but much
less can it be enjoyed when merelyl
read. Mr. McIntyre never showed
this rare fore-thought and considera-
tion for the pleasure of his audience.
Only through his thoroughly unbusi-
nesslike and rather foolish policy
were we enabled to see (and appre-
ciate) "Ghosts," "La Traviata," and i
other stage productions from the gal-
lery. I know of one theater at least
in this state which regularly sells out
a block of three hundred "rush" seats
for twenty-five cents, while only a fair
sale is made of the two and three dol-
lar seats.
.Do the managers close up the gal-I
lery when an attraction such as the
Michigan Union Opera or the Follies
comes to town? No. Of course they
ar e very tunblusinesslike. Other Ann
Arbor theaters solve the problem by
charging one price, the highest, for all
seats. The modern tendency in thea-
ter construction is to eliminate the
gallery altogether. Perhaps the Man-
agers of the' Theater Guild produc-
tions are right, and I wouldn't go so
fir as to say they were wrong, but...
However, let us congratulate them on
their remarkable business acumen,
and may Mr. McIntyre continue to
bring the better plays to Ann Arbor
at a price which we students can af-
ford to pay.

Thanksgiving
After the first harvest in 1621, the New England colonists
made' provision for a day of thanksgiving and prayer. Grad-
ually the custom prevailed of 'appointing a Thanksgiving
Day, which evolved into our present Governor's Proclamation.
Every human being knows the day and observes it. To the
youngster, it is the day that the table is loaded with goodies,
and the day that Daddie is at home to play with them. They
are happy and unconsciously thankful. To the young man
and woman planning for the future, having experienced some
of the difficulties in life, it is a sacred day. They have learned
the value of prayer. To the mother and father, it is a joyful
day of Thanksgiving for the happy family circle which they
have about them. And to the grandmother and grandfather
it is a day of reverence.' They have lived their lives, fought
the good fight, and reaped the benefits.
To feel the true spirit of the day, and observe it is- one of
the beautiful things of life. Living and the happiness derived
from it is one thing, and the recognition of the benevolence
of Supreme Being in giving that life and happiness to us is
another. The individual, the home, the state, and the nation
unite in offering prayers of thanksgiving and praise on Thanks-
giving Day.
