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- i k OF OLD AN ARBO To all who are weary, and are wet and sore of foot, this offering is wholeheartedly dedicated. * * * 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; z' f 1 r 1 4THEATERF TONIGHT: "The Silver Cord" by Fountain Pens, Desl °idncy Howard will be presented by b the Theater Guild at the Whitney at 8:34 oelock. * * *IA t STUDENT CONCERT At Ri The Student Recital concert which wi'l be given tonight in the auditori- um of the School of Music at 8 o'clock, will be one of unusual, interest and 'ariety.

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.
