KERN THE UNION AMENDMENTS The favorable action on the new amendments to the constitution of the Union, taken by an overwhelming ma- jority of the members voting Tuesday night, is extremely gratifying to those who have the interests of that or- ganization close at heart. The simpli- fication of the administration of the Union frm the previous two boards in control with their divided powers and responsibilities, to the newly cre- ated single board cannot help but re- sult in a higher measure of efficiency for the whole managemnent of the building and its functions, and a con- sequent multiplication of its benefits. ONE STEP AHEAD Undergraduate flying, long pro- hibited by Oxford university authori- ties, has now been agreed to under adequate standards, and flying is re- ported to be in full swing on an im- provised field 12 miles north of the university grounds in England. Three planes have been provided by the air ministry for the use of the Oxford university air squadron, and the aero- drome arrangement provides for the instruction of 10 undergraduate menm- bers cach day. The British air minuistry bars prac- lically the whole ost of the proposed plan, which is somewhat revolution- ary in the educational field. By limit- I ing the cost to the undergraduate. aviator to less than $5, the aeronau- tical training has been made available. to all students interested in the mod- ern art of flying. While the step is undeniably far ahead of any other such projects in modern colleges and universities, there is some doubt as to whether it will prove to be wholly practicable. Aviation has not vet reached the stage where it may be safely undertaken by' the general public, and any procedure which endangers the lives of the stu- dnts shou'd be closely guarded. How- c':; ,h 1b proj'2ct is one to be watched with interest by other educational in- stitutions. One of the most-harassing but least-discussed problems on the cam-1 Jaus right now is whether the men vill have to enter the new Women's League building through the basement or not.

To the Editor: We must express our appreciation, before making a reply, of the gentle- manly spirit with which Mr.Brownell answered our communication with re- gard to the University college. It was a pleasure to read it. We can't help but feel that frank 1iscussion of our viewpoints will be very bene- ficial in clarifying the atmosphere which is so clouded at this time. Generalizing upon that communica- tion, It seems to us that it is ex- tremely unfortunate that such a mis- understanding exists among other students and faculty and adiinistra- tion officials with regard t the aims, ideals, and desires of o own fac- ulty and studeAts. It doesn't exist in a spirit of antagonism; it is per- fectly sincere criticism, the seeds of whic'h have been sproutng for many years last. Criticisms Unjustified Time and time again, especially since the University college has been proposed, many statements have been issued, commenting-some of them rather pointedly-upon the segregat- ing spirit, the lack of cooperation, the hostile attitude toward other schools, and the spirit of selfishness in gen- eral, which are said to animate the Engineering college. When analyzed carefully, the accusations are exceed- ingly unjustified. We do not doubt that Mr. Brownell really believes that the Engineering college considers the University of Michigan something secondary to it- self, and, taking into consideration the light in which the Engineering college has often been represented in the last two years, t is not surprising that his belief does exist, since he is in another college, and therefore lack- ing the background to enable him to understand true conditions here. Has No Segregation Spirit As a matter of fact, there is no col- lege upon this campus, which, in either its faculty or student bodies, has a stronger spirit of loyalty or a greater love of Michigan as a Univer- sity, representing a cooperating union of several different colleges. The Engineering college has not a spirit of antagonism toward the rest of the University; it has not a spirit of seg- regation. There has been no proposal or suggestion made by the administra- tion or by another college, which has not received the earnest consideration and sincere interest of the engineering faculty and of the engineering student body, when the latter has been aware of such being done. This spirit has actuated every contact betweei this college and the rest of the University. Let us make an example of Fresh- man Week. At the time this was pro- posed, the engineering faculty did not believe that conditions here at all necessitated such an undertaking, but, nevertheless, every effort was made to try it out in cooperation with the rest of the University. It is a mat-4 ter of record that no college entered into the program more whole-hearted-' ly than did this one. Were there any assurance that the Engineering col- lege could drop out of the University college after one or two years' experi- inent, we have little doubt but thatI the proposal would be considered much more favorably than it is at this time. Perhaps we are mistaken in that, but there have been few things that our faculty have been unwilling to try out and help the University in, were they assured they could drop out if they found it unwise to con-j tinue. Just at present, it seems as if the Engincering college is not being asked to cooperate. It has virtually been told to accept something which it believes detrimental to the best interests of its future students. Aetivities Are Cited As for the student body, do the en- gineers refrain from trying out for Michigan athletic teams? When on those teams, do engineers show any- thing but a true Michigan spirit, the teamwork which is expected of them? Surely it is realized that engineers enter into all student activities--pub- lications, the Opera, Glee club, and such, just as earnestly as any others. Now as for this University college, Mr. Brownell's arguments are excel- lent for his side of the case, but, like1 any other question, there is another side to be considered, and it must be4 considered seriously. The Engineer- or elsewhere, who has ever considered the Engineering college as being in any way a separate part of the Uni- versity. We speak of Michi-an, notj the Engineering college. Such a thing would be furthest from our thoughts. Is Expression Of Opinion It seems to us that the present case is simply this: a University college has been proposed. Since the Senate resolution has a distinct clause i it which provides for its being consider- ed by the faculties of the various schools, our faculty is now so do- ing. Why should there be so much commotion outside of our school, when our faculty is merely taking advantage of that clause to express, their duty-bound to express, convic- tions. They are obligated to do so. Mr. Brownell implies that the Uni- versity college committee was con- vi-c- 1 thf flip ~ P of the ventre I THEATER BOOKS MUSIC "" TONI lGHT: The Rockford Players presenit Sutton Vtae's "Outward Bound" in the Whitney theater at S o'clock.

It is because of this that we believe the writer of Tuesday's article to be misinformed in making the statement that the University college committee wasj convinced that the University college was a step forward. Differ In Methods Not Aims We thoroughly believe in the ob- jects which the University college hopes to accomplish. They are quite ideal and the problems are real. Our point of difference is the method of accomplishment, if it can be accomp- lished under existing present-day con- ditions. For the reasons which we briefly expressed in Sunday's letter, we do not feel that it would be wise to introduce the University college in the Engineering college at this time. We are not trying to pull away from the rest of the University. We simply feel that we have not the right to accept a proposal which we sin- cerely and honestly believe is detri- mental to the Engineering college as such, and as an integral part of the University. Is it to the best interests of the University to enforce a move- ment which may lessen the reputa- tion and seriously injure the efficiency of that college which has done much to bring to Michigan the prestige which it enjoys today?I Reasons Requestedl If the University college is to be put in operation without altering in any way the present classes, instruc- tors, and students of the Engineering college, and- such concessions have tentatively been made, why do we need it? We have seen no reasons of any consequence offered, which un- der those circumstances, argue in favor of this proposal. Certainly the eIngineering faculty would be willing to assist any other college or colleges in attaining those objects of the Uni- versity college which the Engineer-- ing college has already accomplished for itself. We do not believe that the yet accomplished ones are open to solution through the medium of the proposed institution, and if it is not going to ad us, we irepeat, we do inot see the need of entering it. Honor System affected f That the honor system would be affected by this proposal, requires more :race to explain fully that we have room for in this letter, but we thoroughly believe that if the Uni- versity college becomes an actual or- ganization and actually takes the en- gineering students for the first two years, that institution would be in- jured and probably destroyed. Our Honor system depends upon contact of the freshmen and sophomores with the upper classmen. The classes are interwoven into it and a professional ethical code is thus started which is lasting into professional life. Without the contacts which exist between our classes, the system could not have its present measure of success since its enforcement depends upon respect for the authority of upper-class engineers through the medium of the student enforcement committee.

GERSHIWIN WILL PLAY George Gershwin, composer of "I'll Build A Stairway to Paradise" and the music for the new musical com- edy "Funny Face," piano maestro for Paul Whiteman, and father of the "Rhapsody in Blue" that caused such a deal of critical slathering when it was first played in New York a few years ago, will give a piano recital at the ilasonic temple tonight. When "Rhapsody in Blue" made its appearance all the smarter magazines including "Vanity Fair" came out with pictures of Mr. Gershwin, whom they called the discoverer of the American musical idiom, and other quch palpitating names. At sounds like these .all of the musical eye- brows in America went up at least an inch, and some began to wonder and some began to hope that per- I baps some good might be able to conic out of the Afra-American sink hole of Jazz. However, it was soon discovered that it was just another prank of the versatile Paul Whiteman, always fertile in ways of amusing his public, and that, as a great many people had hoped throughout, Jazz was to remain Jazz, and the most en- tei'taining music in the world had not hitched its wagon to the Y.

Leslie Askren Life through a cocktail glass, com- edy that only escapes idiocy by the hairsbreadth of a brilliantly turned bromide, tragedy that would be melo- draima without the careful work of Dougall and Loughton-that more or less is Philip Barry's "You and I" in the hands of a splendid Comedy Club cast. Barry's treatment of the problem gives a glorious lie to the bromidic cliches under which he has disguised it, and the dialogue is bromide re- charged with the facile sophistication of wit, which makes it a wonderful thing, especially when Dougall con- centrates on his character and Setchell throws herself into the role. Of Loughton wonderful things are ex- pected--she is already a tradition, splendidly "immense"-but for all that she didn't hide Baruch's wistful splendor. Her control was beautiful. -R. L. A.

Gentlemen: Two years ago my wife gave me an expensive pipe. I smoked it a great deal for two or three weeks, put it aside, then began smoking it again. This time it was very strong. Veterans told me that it had been smoked too hard for a new pipe and should be put away. The pipe was laid away again. A short time ago I got it out and smoked one of the common brands of tobacco in it. The results were disappointing. I told the druggist of my experience with it. He asked if I had tried Edge- worth. I told him I never had. I fol- lowed his suggestion, and I am honest when I say that it has restored the sweetness to the pipe, and has made me wonder. Was it the pipe or the brand of tobacco that caused me to lay it away for the long period of time? As a novice, I prefer Edgeworth. I am going to stick to it, as I feel satis-, fied that there is none better on the market. Sincerely yours, Philip C. Shera E dgeworth "Extra High Grade Smoking Tobacco aPEW i t.
