hoped that the actions of France in
regard to the present negotiations will'
demonstrate a quality of cooperative
good-will which can do much to clear
up the more or less strained attitude
of the two nations at present.
SELF-CONGRATULATIONS
Culminating a period of agitation
and construction campus amusement
seekers will tonight open a new field
to themselves when the doors swing
in on the new Michigan theater. Con-j
gratulations are in order for the man-
agers, the city of Ann Arbor, and
especially the patrons. The local dis-
trict has long been under-supplied ,
with entertainment facilities, as gen-
erations of graduates who have been
injected into the Arcade or the Ma-
jestic by main force will testify, and
the indications are that the communityj
will fully recompense the promoters
for the expense to which they have
jbeen put.
The passing of the 8:40 jam, how-
ever, will mark another milestone that
is slipped by, but it is' a creditableE
passing at least. It is logical that the
urge for the enthusiastic rioting of the
past will be in a way dampened by the
newness and modernity of the Michi-
gan.
BOOMING
It has been remarked that Herbert I
Hoover did not make a decisive bid
for the presidential nomination in
1924 because he was far from beingj
a practical politician. As the time
for the 1928 convention approaches,
however, it seems evident that the
need for political acumen on the part
of the noted engineer or his friendsV
has become less necessary though it
is very probably much greater.
In the last six months, the Hoover'
"boom" has advanced tremendously.
Regarded as the administration can-4
didate ;since the definite withdrawal
of President Coolidge, Secretary Hoo-
ver seems to have the confidence of
the East, the financial interests, and
large followings throughout the rest ofI
the country.
His support is very slightly manu-
factured as in the case of many can-
didates but is rightfully based on pub-
lic confidence in his ability. As foodj
administrator during the war, as head
of the commerce department and as a
noted engineer, Mr. Hoover has shown
himself capable of handling large
situations with all the necessary at-E
tention to detail. Of the three out-
standing men of the present cabinet
including Mellon and Kellogg, Secre-
tary Hoover is the most available for
the presidential nomination.

quainted with Professor Mallory have

endeavors and personality in the fol-

The most intimate financial rela-

called at the home of a couple from
whom in years gone by he had bought
property to have them sign a deed.
When Professor Mallory produced the
document for them to sign they both
signed the instrument without first
reading it-certainly complete evi-
dence as to the faith that his ac-
quaintances had in his complete hon-

to the fact that nothing has quite lived

rather famous as an amateur pianist,

The first thing observed on opening

the whole volume.
Serge English was an illegitimatE
child to begin with, a fact which
seems quite inevitable after the intro-

FACULTY ACHIEVEMENT
Marked achievement by a teacher
with subsequent recognition can
hardly help but bring greater interest
to his pupils working in the same field
under his guidance. The former's ac-
complishment intimately acquaint the
student with the results ofsgreater
talent and endeavor a:, well as giving
him greater faithi in the guidance of
his instructor.
It is with double gratification then
that the University may receive the
announcement of the awards to Jean
Paul Slusser and Victor V. Slocum of
the faculty of the architectural college
for their excellent exhibits in painting
and sculpture respectively at the re-
cent Detroit Institute of Arts compe-
tions.
Besides the added incentive to local
art students, the University derives a
righteous pride in the accomplish-
ments of its faculty with the proof of
the superior talent and instruction
which it contains.
AROUSLNG INTEREST
With the expiration of the Franco-
American arbitration pact less than
a month away, Premier Briand has
apparently begun to take an interest
in the renewal of the agreement, and
has finally asked our own State De-
partment for details of the plan whichI
they have submitted to him. Coming
as it does after several months ofI
procrastination on the part of theI
French premier, the new conduct is
gratifying indeed, and even promises
some actual accomplishment.
It is very certain that the proposals
of France for agreements amounting
to alliance are out of the question, in
spite of the fact, that such proposals
have apparently blinded that nation;
to the possibility of rational negotia-
tions. It is quite possible, on the'
other hand, that some agreement such
as proposed by our own government,
outlawing war between the two na-
tions and making arbitration compul-
sory in many cases, can finally be
adonted to the advantage of both. I

FRESHMEN GYM
To the Editor:
With all due respect to erudite gen-
tlemen who preside over the activities
of Waterman gymnasium, I believe
that the present course in physical
education compulsory for freshmen
does more harm than good. As you
know, every first year man takes two
hours in the gym weekly.
I am speaking for one individual
when I say that the net result of two
hours' exercise every week is a col-
lection of aches that have no bene-
ficial affect: one beconies "soft" again
before the next work out. It is hard
to enjoy the shrill of a mile run or
the sheer ecstacy of climbing a 20-
foot rope when not in condition.
This is not an indictment of phys-
ical education. The writer agrees fully
with Dr. May when he says that "you
Greek scholars and future leaders
cannot face your problems without
sound bodies." But if we must have
physical education let it be adminis-
tered in frequent, effective doses. Let
classes meet three or four times a
week, or not at all.
