It is to be 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.

As a nartial evidence of Iis a little I incident not more than two weeks old is typical of the man. In company we 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- esty.

Mr. Erskine is, nevertheless, rather famous as an amateur pianist, although they say that he plays rather badly. ** * "FACE VALUE": A Novel by J. L. Campl. .E. P. Dutton and Company, New York. 1927. $2.50. A review, by David Scheyer The first thing observed on opening "Face Value" is the bright scarlet in- side cover. And of such lurid hue is the whole volume. Serge English was an illegitimatE child to begin with, a fact which seems quite inevitable after the intro- duction to his mother, a lady, who be- gan her journey at Odessa in a fourth class carriage and arrived in Paris wearing a diamond braclet and neck- lace.

STEWART HOOKER 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.

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. -L. E. H., '31. Perhaps if a train is derailed some time the Pere Marquette railroad will deem it worthwhile to construct a grade separation at the crossing on the Ecorse road which has claimed to this time the lives of at least five per- sons connected with this University in addition to others.
