THE TAG DAY
One of the most worthwhile projects
that has been fostered on the campus,
among the student body, in many
mionths is the tag day which will be
hoeld Thursday and Friday of this
week for the purpose of giving chil-
dr~en confined in the University hos-
pital a Christmas party and Christmas
gifts. Galens, honorary medical so-
ciety, is undertaking the sale of the
tags, and the least the student body
can dofor the cause is to contribute
genej' ously.
Many of the children confined in the
hospital have been there for months,
some of them years. Many of them
are so far from home that there is not
the least hope of their parents or
relatives visiting them even at Christ-
mas time. Few, if any of them, will,
find anything of Christmas in Christ-
mas day if some outside aid such as
this proposed from the student body
is not forthcoming.
The drive by the Galens Thursday
4 and Friday deserves the support of
every student on the campus. The
goal, $400, is so low that it will re-
a quire very little hardship for each
man and woman on the Michigan
campus to give his share. The drive
constitutes one of those rare oppor-
tunities for the University to display
that it has a real heart: the University
dares not fail.
TRYING TO DISARM
The League of Nations is again tak-
ing up the task of disarmament,
where it was dropped by the unsuc-
cessful three-power conference in-
voked by President Coolidge, or rather
-where it was left by the Harding con-
ference of 1922. This is recognized as
ons of the hardest tasks that can pos-
sibly confront the body, but the in-
creasing desire to avoid war and high
Y taxes that is so evident on the part o
people everywhere, is inducement
I enough to make the attempt.
Despite the fact that America
practically relinquished its command
of the seas by the steps taken in the
Harding assemblage, it cannot be de-
nied that disarmament was given the
country could see no use in disclosing
the future naval building program so
long as she remained within the total
tonnage limitation.
Any draft that may be drawn up by
the preliminary commission will have
to settle this first of all, and it is
doubtful whether a first draft will be
able to approach any such settlement.
The question does not loom large,
however, in comparison with the
benefits to be derived from a disarm-
ament program that will secure peace,
and perhaps it will not be too long
before the optimists will begin to re-
alize their dreams.
ENGINEERS AS LEADERS
No little insight into the future and
its demands was shown by John F.
Stevens, noted American engineer, in
his prediction that the engineer will
take his place as a leader in the
progress of the approaching age.
Already the engineer has come to
the fore in the adaption of theoreti-
cal principles to the everyday affairs
of life. In the future his service will
be sought for solutions to many prob-
lems concerning the general welfare.
Reforestration and the conservation
of the food supply are merely two
sucl problems which were mentioned
by the speaker. Proof of the en-J
gineer's ability to achieve leadership
has been given by several men of
whom Herbert Hoover, now regarded
as promising Republican presidential
timber, is probably the most promi-
nent.
Though their technical training is
an adiirable preparation for such
leadership, the engineers, as a class,
require a broader cultural training
particularly in history, literature and
the social sciences if they are to be
real leaders rather than mere techni-
cal experts. Perhaps, no one recog-
nizes this need more than the leading
engineering educators of the country
among which Michigan is well repre-
sented. Upon their improvements in
engineering education, the service
value of the great body of engineers
of the next generation and the relative
position which they will occupy will
greatly depend.
MORE THAN A FILM
Illustrating in a way that only a
film could the various phases of news-
paperdom, the picture, "The Making
of A Great Newspaper" will be shown
here today in connection with the
current events contest, sponsored each
year by the New York Times. The
picture portrays the publication of an
edition of that paper from start to
finish, as well as giving glimpses of
the other phases of newspaper publi-
cation, including advertising and cir-
culation.
Intended as it is to create a greater
interest in current events, authorities
are particularly to be commended for
showing the film in different Univer-
sity centers as means toward that end.
The problem of awakening interest in
current events of the day has been
one of increasing importance and the
film, and ultimately the contest, are
to be highly regarded as factors in the
process.
CAMPUS OPINION
Annonynou communications will be
disregarded. The names of communi-
cants will, however, be regarded as
confidential upon request. Letters pub-
lished should not be construed as ex-
pressing the editorial opinion of The
Daily.
November 27, 1927.
To the Editor:
This morning's editorial on "'The
Hughes Report" shows on its face that
it was written by a biased partisan of
the defeated side. Furthermore his
chief objection that Chicago is lower-
ing the Lake levels is worthless be-
cause as Hughes finds the compensat-
ing works will raise the levels from
two to three feet whereas Chicago's
total diversion has not and will not
lower the Lakes over six inches. Chi-
cago at its own expense is building
these works and they will soon be
completed now that their legality is
established. Thus the very ones who
are objecting to Chicago are going to
be benefitted by it in the near future
and all honest cause of complaint will
forever be removed. May I respect-
fully refer the writer of that Editorial
to a more careful perusal of the
"Hughes Report."
The writer cannot understand why
any other Lake city should ever ob-
ject to any Lake city not dumping its
sewage in the lakes. I should think
the reverse would be true especially
when as here should Chicago dump
its sewage in Lake Michigan the pur-
ity of the water supply in the States
of Wisconsin and Michigan, especially
Benton Harbor's and adjacent cities
would be seriously affected. Since the
people of the Illinois Valley who are
the only real sufferers do not coin-

THE DAYLIGHT RIDE
OF KEN WITHROW
Listen, my kiddies, and you shall
know
Of the daylight ride of Ken
Withrow;
When he ran his cycle too fast by
far,
And got knocked down by a motor
car.
When the Regents passed their
auto ban,
Based on the precept, "No stu-
dent's a man,"
Somebody was needed-big, brightj
and strong.a
Then they gave Ken the job to
help him along.
First they bought a cycle; put him
on top;

Gave him a badge and called him
a cop.
Then they set him to catch the
students bad,
Who wanted to drive like their
daddies had.
}
All through the autumn Ken ran
around
Chasing the students with cries of
joy;
Over the hills and the bumps he'd
bound,
Like a school boy with a brand-
new toy.
But when the temperature lower
dropped,
It seemed our Ken had sorta
stopped.
For a motor cycle is not so nice,
Midst rain, and cold, and sleet and
ice..
It appeared that on the bitter days
The chap gave up his taking ways.
T
There came a weekend, cold and
bad,
And all the while poor Ken was
sad;
Through every day he fretted and
fussed,
Then he swore next day he'd work
or bust-
And with the morn the sun came
clear,
The perfect day of all the year.
He was roused by the clang of the
telephone bell-
'Twas his boss, the Dean, with a
story to tell:
"Students are driving, all over
town;
This is your chance to run them
down. ,f
Go out and get 'em-bring 'em to
me;
I'll boot 'em if there's no permits,"
said he.
At ten bells by the campus clock,
Ken had already roped in a flock
Of students trying to drive their
cars,
00
; W e
Despite the Regents' rigid bars.
And when he quit for awhile at
noon,
His records showed he'd caught a
score.
At 5 o'clock by the campus chimes,
He'd taken his quota many times.
But still he feared to stop too soon;
He wanted to get a hundred more.
The fatal hour of seven struck-
Ken was speeding down Packard
way;
The cycle exhaust was ringing
loud.
Perhaps he'd played too long that
day-
Perhaps he'd chased too big a
crowd-
"THE SILVER CORD"
MTonight at the Whitney the Theater
Guild will present the last of their
program of four plays, "The Silver
Cord."' This play is a treatment of
the problem of mother-love carried
too far-the Oedipus complex. Sidney
Howard has written a very fine study
of this side of life, and the talent
which the Theater Guild willtbring to
its production will insure a pleasant
evening. Molly Pearson will play the
part of the mother, George Gaul and
Frederick March being the two sons
whose destiny she affects with her
meretricious affection.
* * *
"WHITE EAGLE"
The Cass theater, Detroit, will be
the scene of the opening of Russell
Janney's new show, "White Eagle,"
Sunday night, December 4. Edwin
Milton Royles once wrote a famous
play entitled "The Squaw Man" which,
as its title suggests, was a story of
Indians and a white man's love. Jan-
ney has now taken over the story of
the old play,-set music to it, provided
dances with a distinctly Indian flavor,
and so has produced a musical show
which may rival the famous "Rose-
Marie" for popularity.
For the music Rudolf Friml has
been provided and if he attains the
success he achieved with his music
in "The Vagabond King," "Rose-
Marie," and half a dozen others of his
melodic hits, "White Eagle" ought to
be a wow. Marion Keeler, who will
sing the role of "Silverwing" the In-
dian maiden, is a private discovery of
Janney's own. It is said that she is
excellent eye and ear entertainment-
a rare combination.
"THE ROMANTIC YOUNG
LADY"
This play by Martinez Sierra will
be presented at Mimes theaterbegin-
ning Tuesday, December 13. The
translation from the Spanish was
made by Harley Granville-Barker and
his wife. Granville-Barker is himself
a distinguished producer and play-
wright, and his translation appeared
in London in 1920, and later in New
York in 1925.
Sierra is a writer of very colorful
and clever plays, not so much noted
for his dashing action as for his bril-
liant dialogue and the atmosphere he
creates of voluptuous and gay ro-
mance. The particular story of "The
Romantic Young Lady" is that of a
vivacious young lady who rebels
against the conventional repressions
of her social 'milieu,' and gains her
escape through reading the novels of
de Cordoba. She idealizes him and
finally meets him one stormy night.
de Cordoba studies her as a type for
one of his novels, and incidentally tries
to disillusion her of her romantic
ideals. The novel proves too good to
write, and the last part of the play
deals with the result of their meeting.
