PATRICK proposal, if at all, for if such a ven- ture were commercially profitable the industry would not have waited until the 25th anniversary to hold it. Civil and commercial aviation is a big field, no doubt. It is a field, nevertheless, which presents very few problems that can be solved in con- ference, and still fewer that can be lessened by debate. The flying field and the airplane factory, dedicated to the cause of the infant industry, must of necessity be the breeding place of new thought in the field of aeronau- tics, and on the whole it is extremely difficult to see the concrete advan- tages at this time of a conference such as that proposed by President Cool- idge. WELCOME AGAIN For the second time in two years and for the fourth time in all, a local audience is glad to welcome Edwin M. Whitney, hailed as America's greatest dramatic recitalist, back to Ann Ar- bor again. A genuine American gentleman, trained in his art to the finest degree, Mr. Whitney's past performances have always had an atmosphere of whole- someness and artistry about them that makes him, as a dramatist, im- personator and gentleman, once more a welcome guest. It is to be hoped that the man who has charmed Ann Arbor audiences in the past will see fit to appear here in Hill auditorium again in the future. COMPROXISE The threat of the insurgents to block the organization of the Senate by refusing to vote with the Republi- can party has apparently been check- ed and the officers and committees of that body will again be* controlled by the Grand Old Party. On the surface this condition would seem to indicate that the insurgent members of the Senate have been suppressed and sub- ordinated; but the surface impression is deceiving, and though the Repub- licans organized the Senate, their po- sition there is considerably less se- cure than it would seem. At the present time there are 47 Democratic senators enrolled in thai body, 46 Republicans, and one Farm- er-Laborite (Shipstead). With the vote of Shipstead the Republicans wil have a tie, and with the vote of Dawes in the event of a tie the party of th( President will have a working margin of one vote. When one bears in mind the fact that five of the regular Re publican votes 'are insurgents, pre- pared to leave the fold at any moment the tenure of Republicanism seems precarious indeed. Perhaps 'after all the insurgents knew what they were about when they aided the Republicans to organize, for now the responsibility for whateve trouble may occur will rest directl with the regulars and their hench- men; and trouble there promises to b in abundance before the next session of onn"rna hao snet1eutufn-e1i14- WILOLLA~~ I DEFEATED lU SIC President Little and Professor Jack, recently installed head of the rhetoricW I R EA department, have come out with state- TONIGHT: Play Production and Di- ments in open disagreement upon an rection presents "The Romantic important campus issue.

LENGTHY PONDERING BRINGS SOLUTION OF DAL C1OP SYSTE11 Not long ago we read that as soon as the lamented Ken Withrow recov- i ers from the effects of his recent escapade he is going to be reinstated as official motor cop for the Univer- sity, and from thereon two offical cops will be on duty to met the prob- lem of student protection. * * * Thereupon we pondered deeply. It was a week befo-re we finally found 9 solution for the problem of the need. of two officials. * * * This auto ban is sort of an intangi- ble thing at best. Some say it is law- ful. Some say it isn't. Some say it can be enforced by state officers. Others say it can't. Although Pres- ident Little and his Regents must have known the secret all along, they wouldn't tell us. So we figured it out all alone. * * * As a mere point of law, the auto rules applied to people in general would be unconstitutional. A state policeman is stretching his commis- sion a bit when he stops a driver and asks if he has a permit from the Uni- versity to drive. It would also be quite a bore to our motoring popula- tion, as well as hindering traffic. Of course a University official may be able to demand that a student show his permit. But he has to stop hii first. And even though they're not supposed to be, students look a lot lice other jeople. * * * But with two motormen, everything is simplified. All that is necessary is for them to work together. :, * * First Officer No 1., a state officer, swoops down upon the suspected driv- er and cautions him for reckless driv- ing, or uses some other pretext. * * * Then right behind him comes Officer No. 2, official University cop. Before the unlucky student can get away he mounts on the running board and de- mands to see his permit. And if the driver be guilty of this terrible crime of breaking the auto rules, lie must either talk fast to his granite-hearted accuser, or else confess his sins. * * *: DACIG )NYor congress nas settued farm relief flood control, and appropriations.

Crane and Wetzel are exceptional and Ramsay, Dougall, Cristy, Kurvink and the rest are something more than adequate. There are certain parts that are sloppy, all of which were well pointed out last week, but they are to be expected in all amateur shows. In short witi some of the vagaries and corrugated bits smoothed out, it should click on the road. And the fact remains that we played to a bigger gross than any other similar eye and ear entertainment on the campus ever has. W* * * "THE ROMANTIC YOUNG LADY" 1 Due to all the fuss and fury at the Whitney last week there wasn't room to mention anything concerning Play Production and Direction's first sea- sonal offering. However, Martinez Sierra is sufficiently well-known on this campus through "The Cradle Song" which Masques gave two years ago, and which was immensely suc- cessful. It should be good entertain- ment, although I fear for the box of- fice, since Christmas slump which may be expected to do its worst. Edwin M. Whitney, interpreter of plays, and an actor of some reputation in the lyceum field will present "A Tailor Made Man" tonight in Hill auditorium. The play itself is rather bad, and Mr. Whitney is rather good, so you can julge for yourself. THE DETROIT SYMPHONY CONCERTS A Review, by Robert Carson The acclaim that this orchestra and its director, Ossip Gabrilowitsch, re- ceived upon its first appearance in this city this year was certainly well merited. For some time there has not been a program presented that has been so consistently fine in its en- tiretly. The most perfectly rendered was undoubtedly the Tchaikowsky I number. The selection of numbers was particularly interesting, offering us the romantic expression of Schu- bert, the "classical" Ceser Franck (reminiscent of Beethoven or the earlier Bach), the mnodernity and ex- periments of our contemporary in the French school, Dukas, the vigor of Tchaikowsky and finally Brahms in an amusing mood. Despite Mme. de Chezy and her poor libretto, Schubert's music from "Rosa- munde" still is heard. Schubert pos- sessed an acute appreciation of lyric poetry and this has carried itself into the orchestral field as well as in his lighter compositions. This lyric tem- per is penchant throughout the over- ture. In the "Symphony i-n D minor" by Franck the orchestra reached Olym- pian heights. A splendid opportunity was given for the display of the dif- ferent groups of instruments. The woodwinds proved to be remarkable (something I have missed before). In the ecstacy of the Allegretto move- ment the English horn played the charming melody with consummate artistry. One can neither forget the niellow, clear tones of the French horn. The second and last movement, because of a greater unity, were the better rendered. Dukas seems to have gone through a gamut of eccentricities in the "Sym- J ;4 Osteopathic Physicians Dial 5669 Drs.
