A similar job was performed by 9001 students from Dartmouth College when they made a one-day excursion" to Hartford and White River Junction where they aided in finishing up the 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- sides books, dances and football games.

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. O R C O M P A N Y Night Editor-K. G. PATRICK 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.

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. -Dr-amaticus.

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. ' ARBOR SAVINGS BANK to I , t 101 N.
