What have they to offer as the living spirit to house within the walls of the new building? ALL FOR ONE The recent proposal by the Demo- cratic leaders to have a gigantic "Harmony dinner" in Washington the night of the opening of the national committee sessions has in it all of the elements of humor to those who are familiar with the situation. The idea of party harmony is a good one, and the tradition of the great leader An- drew Jackson, in whose honor the dinner is to be given, is one which should inspire the leaders of the party. On the face of it, however, the very proposition of Democratic harmony in 1928 seems as impossible as the defeat of Al Smith in New York. There are many factors which com- bine to produce this lack of harmony, and chief among them, of course, is the sore spot of Al Smith. Undeniably the leader of the eastern and possibly the western Democrats, the governor of New York faces the stigma of Tam- many and a possible religious prej- udice when he enters the "Solid South." The idea that a. party which shelters under the same roof the Roman Cath- 1 olic Smith and the bigoted Senator Heflin can achieve harmony -is per- fectly absurd. One side or the other will have to recede, and that recession can mean nothing short of a party split. It seems inevitable at the present time that Governor Smith will receive the Democratic nomination for presi- dent in 1928, but by the same token it is inevitable that a strong man nominated by the Republicans, such as Herbert Hoover, might split the heretofore "Solid South" in such a contingency. THE BIG FROG Some of the larger newspapers in the United States, and some organiza- tions which have as their function the formation and the expression of pub- lic opinion, have, for the last three or four years, made it a matter of great concern to themselves to foster the idea that the United States is standing alone against the whole world, and that the destiny of the whole world depends upon the future conduct of the United States. Now we have former Senator James Hamilton Lewis, who is going around the country spreading this strange doctrine and expressing the idea that the United States should make itself the center of all of the troubles that are afflicting the world, and declaring that only in this fashion will any set- tlement be effected and world peace be maintained. "The United States," says Lewis, "stands alone today without a single friend among all the civilized nations of the world. The League and the World Courtdhave proved impractical because of the power of the United States. If the United States were to pass a law saying that it would not trade with any nation which declared war upon any other nation, no nation would dare to start warfare. Unfortunately, even though such a view is most flattering to those who hold the omnipotence and the omnisci- ence of the United States, this repre- sents just the view which the United States cannot afford to take. The attitude that the sins of the world are directly traceable to the commercial power of the United States is a view that bespeaks only a lack of vision and an impotence for the recovery of balance and sanity. This plan, as suggested, seems to imply that the United States is for all time to be the central nation of the world. The fact of the matter seems to be that the other nations of the world will soon take the place which they held before the war so reducedI their resources, and that they will soon be able to share with the United States the power to make decisions and to enforce them by reason of their power and their independence. To make the United States the central power of all of the disputes in the world would make the United States a mere pawn upon whom all of the troubles of the world would settle. The United States will not be long the creditor nation of the world. Such a condition is impossible and natural conditions will right it. Until that time, the wisest course seems to be to enforce peace by a mutual agreement between all nations and not through making the United States 'he scape- goat. The United States does not stand alone in the world. She stands with all of the liberal and advancing na- tions. And she stands with them onI an equal footing for the promotion of peace and understanding in the world. Just as if there weren't enough di- versity in the styles of campus head-f gear now, it seems that the Forestry) school is going to add red hats to the gray pots of the freshmen and the blue "M" hats of the athletes. After the American nrofessors were I remember the stand at Iowa, A fight that was good to see; And that battle on Wisconsin soil, In nineteen twenty-three; And when the year's last game was played, A banner high o'er the rest. For Yale may have ruled the con- quered East, But Michigan ruled the West. And then I love to sit and dream Of that game of twenty-five, When we met Grange at Illionis, And stopped his vaunted drive. Full many a victory of yesteryear Kept our banner far o'er the rest. No matter who ruled the conquer- ed East, Our Michigan ruled the West. But those are dreams of other days, The dreams that I love best. For today we stood with the fight of old, F But Michigan lost the West.! * * * We had a big surprise when Tim- othy Hay, who held down this job last year, wandered into the office after the game yesterday. He looked so happy that we put him right to work. Although he modestly denies it, Tim was pretty hot at his job, and with great pleasure we offer you a little specimen of his work, dashed off on the spur of the moment. Benjamin Bolt. THE AUTO BIOGRAPHY OF A NEW ALUMNUS This being an alumnus isn't what it's cracked up to be. When you get out of school you have to work all the year round instead of just at midse- mesters and finals. * * * And once in awil you get away to cone back to dear Ann Arbor town and what happens? The weather man turns the cold shoulder, the Gophers kick up a lot of mud, and the Union is sold out on dance tickets. We think the Union was behid this rule against fraternity dances. * * * But there's one good thing about it --we Alumni can drive autos. We can drive them anywhere, even into the ditch, and nobody starts talking bans. * *.* What we want to know is, what was Minnesota spelling between halves? We can't read Swedish. * * * Who's eating that goose tonight? It would have been a more appropriate mascot for Minnesota at the game last year. "Min" showed good judgment at least. She stayed over on the Michi- gan side of the field as long as Minne- sota would let her. THEATER BOOKS ' MUSIC Robert Benchley, whom you know as the dramatic editor of "Life," after the Whoops Sisters and Texas Guinan,, is one of New York's most favored children. Unlike the magniticoes who balloon into prominence either by as- siduous publicity or the prevailing numbscullery of the herd, he has held this position for some eight years or Mr. rBenchley is possessed of no ,L ':-;" i ^r 1'!

Pen i ' great amount of literary style, but he is extremely clever and able at con- cocting back-handed puns a n d facetious epigrams. For this reason, he has, in the past few years, been employing his spare time in writing movie subtitles, song, lyrics for vari- ous famous gentlemen from tin-pan alley, and now he is hard at work de- vising dialogue for various eye and ear entertainment. In his critical capacity Mr. Bench- ley was recently compelled to review his own show, and as a result came to the astounding conclusion, that the reason that there are so few good mu- sical comedy -books, is that it is ex- tremely hard to write good musicali comedy books. All of which brings me to my thesisI -which is that Mr. Benchley is rightj as hell. And as co-author of the book and lyrics of the annual Union opera, I swear a solemn oath never to castj unkind aspersion on the heads of those scriveners who are engaged in Samusing the great American public. From now on Guy Bolton, Fred Thompson, and Rogers and Hart are elevated to a place among the literary half gods. And even Anne Caldwell is going to get even -breaks, and that's saying quite a bit when you consider the awful stuff she turns out. * * * There are certain immutable laws that govern the writing of such things, that make it extremely diffi- cult to create any plot or dialogue or even situations that are both original and humorous. And the plot and dialogue for "The Same To You" is no exception. The present book, which Mr. Shuter is now rehearsing is the result of constant revision and re-writing. In fact, some changes in lines and characters are still being made. However, we are optimistic enough now, to predict that there may be some action and humor to interpo- late between the musical numbers when the show eventually opens at the Whitney.

First, it was recog- nition by the men students; later it was a consciousness of their own sig- nilicance born of an extensive socialI program on the part of the leaders. Recently, Michigan women have work- ed for and achieved self-government which is so efficient that the majority of women are not conscious of its peration. "The consummation of the efforts of aa and undergraduates has been or t e past six years bound up in the new' Women's' league building which to "be to the women of the campus what the Union is to the men." At lst it may be said that within ap- proximately one year, this building will be totally erected. This great meritorious task of Michigan women will then have been completed. In fact, the remaining work on the campus this year involves only the collection of funds to pay the large pledge made by the undergraduate campaign committee. There will be no life membership drive, however, be-I cause of the tax which the Regents imposed upon the matriculation fee. Student endeavor will be confined to little humdrum events which will gradually pass the pledge. To be sure the progress of the women's campaign to such a satisfac- tory position reflects intelligent man- agement and hard work. Yet, the nearing completion of the entire, project and the decreasing responsi- bilities of the workers has another aspect which should be. faced as a warning if not as a prediction. - It is almost an axiom of civilization that the end of the struggle for per' fection in any endeavor shows not only the successful completion of the task, but the loss of the vital spirit previously shown in the object, move- ment or organization under considera- tion. With respect to the present sit- uation then, the question arises: When the building is completed, will there be any vital motivating spirit within? It has the possibility of being the concrete symbol of all that a high and noble womanhood can mean to Michi- gan-ori it may be an empty shell rep- resenting the ideals and aspirations of those who worked or it. but sig- I '. - . . ...-- - ...-.-.-- -.--- .--.-.----...-- Osteopathic Physicians Dial 5669 Drs.
