It is obvious that the vital and

lies almost wholely in efforts along
such lines. Between its routine activ-

It is only when boiled down into
cold analysis that the truth is evident.
"Seventh Heaven" isn't good drama.
It is a little better than the average
pot boiler, and Mimes is certainly
capable of something more original
and something that is better than flag
waving and hokum. "Seventh Heaven"
fails as something satisfying or in-
tellectually exciting, and serves only
as a vehicle for the dramatic virtu-
osity of several very capable actors
and actresses.

CASTE: by Cosmo Hamilton. G. P.
Pulnamii's Sons, New York; 1927;
A review, by R. Leslie Askren.
Some great literary light has re-
marked that bad books have their
function in stimulating and forming a
taste for literature. This is provoca-
tive theory, but in its present, forma-
tive state it merely provides a 'raison
d'etre' for "Caste," which, if it is a
blessing in disguise, is too well dis-
guised.
Hamilton begins by saying some- I
thing about his book in the 'blurb' on
the jacket. He should have kept his
secret, and left the advertisement to
facile equivocators in the advertising
department. And then from that mis-
take the author sets out on a series of
literary gyrations-a dance of follies,
or anything else that you like to call
it, until he ends with his story sneer-
ing at its title, his book thumbing its
nose at the 'blurb,' and his technique
giving the lie to the cannons of con-
struction. All of this might be for-
given if it were in the pursuit of
novelty, but since Hamilton is all too
obviously eyeing Ann Nichols' millions'
made out of "Abie's Irish Rose," the
excuse of novelty is useless and the
indictment that the book is bad is only
modified by the memory of one or two
short moments when the purposes of
character and story united to show a
flash of life.
Incidentally, a dramatization of the
novel is on the boards in New York,
but in a season of hits its success has
not echoed this far West-which may

which would better the University in
the improvement of the regular col-3
lege program, the student life, or the
organizations used for either. Pro-
motion of the honor courses for up-
perclassnen and establishment of the
cheering section are recent typical
examples.
In this field, the activities of the
Student. Council have been meagre.
Some investigation of the Burton cam-
panile project started three years ago
has been its only claim toward a
perianent contribution. Yet, there
are certainly many matters which
may receive sech attention from the
council. Though much discussed al-

I do not see why the University
does not sponsor some eating place
where students could get wholesome
food at a cost that would not force
their pocketbooks to take the count.
It can be done; in'fact it is being done
at several of the large centers of
education.
The U. of M. provides its students
with a thoroughly modern and ade-
quate restaurant of tiought, namely,
the library; is it, then, too far fetched
to hint that she should provide an
adequate restaurant of food?
I wonder if you would give this a
serious thought while I, meanwhile,
subsist on malted milks.
