Publication...................Harvey Talcott Assistants nite advance upon the American Gov- ernment at the time of the Washing- ton conference, has adopted an atti- tude of sceptism and disinterested- ness. Outwardly at least, France's atti- tude seems to be the more logical. During the past few years she has developed her naval power along the line of small cruisers and submarines and her present program calls for a continuance of that type of defense; whereas, England, who proposed out and out abolition on the previous oc- casion is now sceptical and so far inclined to sit back and watch. Obviously, the time is nearing when something more definite than mere interest or expression of opinion will suffice; some sort of a conference or settlement in regard to the matter is inevitable. Until that comes about and the suggestion is considered more seriously, possibility of complete abo- lition seems entirely remote. POOR FIGURING The University's request for $100,- 000 for repairs will be closely checked by a personal visit from the state director of the budget, according to recent reports from Lansing. The money is desired for a heating tunnel to the new Women's League building, a power cable to the University hos- pital, a power line to the dental build- ing, and repairs on the power plant itself. On the surface it appears that the move of investigation by the budget director may be only sound business, but when examined closely the whole situation exhibits a far different aspect. The state, in plain language, is about a million dollars short of meeting its obligations for the year. As a result, a number of the appro- priations passed by the legislature and approved by the governor will have to be curtailed to a shadow of themselves if the state is to survive the year with anything like a small deficit. The apparent gesture of efficiency and sound business, then, assumes the proportions of a most severe ex- tremity; and the ostentatious bally- hoo of the state administrative board is merely a screen to cover up a finan- cial situation which that board is not anxious to advertise. The fault, of course, is first with the state legisla- ture which dilly-dallied through the placid days of spring and found itself on the eve of the final session with the necessity of passing pell-mell a whole multitude of appropriations bills. The second and ultimate fault, how- ever, can be traced directly to the governor and administrative board which lacked the courage to pare the appropriation figures down within the state revenue before they were face to face with a more or less desperate situation. One possible way there seems to be out of the difficulty, however, sug- gested by Shirley Smith, secretary of the University. It seems that of the $350,000 appropriated by the state for the purchasing of the property for the Women's League building only $300,000 was needed, leaving a bal- ance of $50,000 which Secretary Smith proposes to apply to the present re- pairs. By this system the projects jir j With this issue the Rolls Executive Board makes formal announcement of the appointment of the Right Hon- orable Jeb, who will conduct this col- umn, in poverty or in prosperity, ad liberatum or ad nauseam, and in peace or in the automobile ban for the rest of the year. * * * In turning over the keys to the of- fice-the typewriter keys, that is-to our worthy successor, we are leaving him in the midest of a field that should be a paradise for any exponent of the garbled witticism. * * * We leave him the Universiy, with its riots, freshman, Professor Hobbs, self-eliminating motor cop, weather, Student Council, and the many other local indications that it has a plenti- ful share of those things that help to make the world such a perfectly silly place to live in. * * s We leave him President Little, who is said to have said that the late Ben- jamin Bolt was a great detriment to the University. But every job hias its limitations. Some people are so hrrd to please. * * S Incidentally, if Jeb aspires to a policy of "Obstruction," we hope he will be as successful as the Studen.t Council, Interfraternity Council, Daiy editorial writers, and Campus O:inin contributors, whose protests were largely responsible for giving ul autos for the J-Hop. * * * This is not a farewell column. If possible, we hope to remain around this institution for some little time, depressing as the prospect may seem to some. * * * And we have secured Jeb's express promise that, on due occasion, we shall temporarily be allowed to re- gain possession of the editorial chair. Benjamin Bol, * * * I)ON'T REAl FROM THIS POINT ON, we, Jeb, begin to do the work of writing daily, this column. It is hard to be funny, especially when you are not naturally that way. * * " s ACCORDINGLY IT SHALL be our policy to encourage all students on the campus to send us contributions, the more you send the more we will print. Anything in the line of jokes, campus events, poetry, humorous or funny, or what have you is more than welcome. Just address them to us, care of The Daily. * * * YESTERDAY THE COLUMN which is usually next to us got all swelled up and took our space. We know that many students missed us, but here we are back again, and will be here for a long time. * * * PERSONAL PoisonJ iy: We are sorry we couldn't run your contribution yester- day. Please send more. * * * NOW THAT THE SECOND semes- ter is here there are probably several students who are not present any more. At least we are fortunate in that the administration is not going to expell 1,700 students as is planned upI at Wisconsin. ....__..._......._ 'i . i . .. .. ... .

TOiNIGHT: Play Prduction presents "Suit Up" by Luli Volmer in the iMimes theater at 8:15 o'clock. * * * "SUN UP" Lulu Vollmer sold tickets in the box office of the Theater Guild until she became over night a successful playwright with "Sun Up." Since that time she has concocted another drama of similar setting called "Trig- ger," which is now in New York with Miss Claiborne Foster in the name role. And as a result "Sun Up," after serving Pauline Starke as a vehicle in the movies-chiefly remarkable for one very torrid scene-is now being played by stock companies and ama- teurs. It will be given tonight by the following cast from the Play Produc- tion classes: Widow Cagle ......SARAH BONINE Rufe Cagle ......EVERED ROGERS Pap Todd ......SAMUEL BONNELL Emmy Todd ......MABEL BARUCH Bud Todd.........ALFRED FOSTER Sheriff Weeks...HENRY GRINNELL The Preacher.....JOHN BANNASCH The Stranger. RICHARD WOELLHAF Bob, a deputy ................... .....CHARLES BRECKHAUSER "Sun Up" will be followed tomor- row night by the Hatcher Hughes Pulitzer Prize play, "Hell Bent for Heaven" which several campus dra- matic societies have been threatening to do for some time. This will alternate with "Sun Up" in repertory fashion on Friday and Saturday nights. LEONORE ULRIC AND BLANCHE YURKA The emotions of Detroit audiences are being put to the test for another week, due to the fact that both "The Squall" (at the Shubert-Lafayette) and "Lun Bele" (at the New Detroit) are being held over another week. Both plays have been credited with a season in New York--the former with Blanche Yurka, and the latter with Leonore Ulric-both of tlhem capable emotional actresses. Miss Yurka's play has been advertised as a "passion-swept drama of love and lust, rinfatuation and devotion." Suz- anne Caybanne, Sarah Bernhardt's very beautiful neice, is playing the gypsy wanton, Nubi, who is the cause of the above mentioned erotic ten- dencies. Miss Ulric's portrayal of the Mu- latto strumpet has since its opening become a Harlem epic, and so needs no introduction. And Miss Ulric her- self, whose fame has been materially increased while putting Belasco shows over for some time, needs no further introduction. THE MATINE E MUSICALE A further program in the Matinee Musicale series was given last night in the Mimes theater, and proved to be a welcome addition in their season of chamber music. The artists at the lime were Djina Ostrowska, haprist; John Wummer, flutist; M. Fossen- kempter, clarinet.

STEWART HOOKERj ANO1HER DORMITORY PLAN A new and interesting plan for the erection of student dormitories has been hit upon by Michigan State col- lege; and it appears that for the firstj time in Michigan an attempt will be made to finance college dormitories with private capital. A banking con- cern, it seems, will lease a portion of the Michigan State college campus and erect thereon a dormitory. The college, in turn, will rent the rooms of the dormitory to students and from the money thus derived will pay the banking company for the use of the building and in time for the entire cost of construction-at which pointI the dormitory will become the prop- erty of the school. It is impossible, of course, pending more definite information to comment on the practicability of the plan. In certain phases, nevertheless, it has elements of soundness which cannot be denied; and not the least of these is the process which will give to the college dormitories for the accommo-, dation of its students with no outlay of funds. To say that a similar scheme would work at another institution-here, for instance--would be stretching the point rather far under present cir- cumstances. Not only would land here cost many times the value on the State college campus, but the dormitories to which Michigan aspires are not the variety proposed for her sister institution, where is it planned to erect them for $1,000 a room. In spite of its apparent difficulties, nevertheless, the system will bear watching. It is entirely possible thatI future developments may indicate a possible solution to the whole prob- lem of student dormitories at state institutions.
