"YOlT AND I"
It is a strange commentary on life
that the best things therein are often
least appreciated or recognized.
Whereas the more ordinary displays
are generously noticed, the finer or
more perfect may very likely lack a
fitting audience.
The Comedy club production, "You
and I," given during the last week is
recognized as the best dramatic pro-
duction shown on the campus this
year both in respect to material and
interpretation. Yet it has not gained
the support given to less meritorious
work. Since the play did possess in-
terest for the audience, the explana-
tion is rather elusive, though faulty
press agenting may be blamed.
Despite failure to attain the great-
est possible material gain, the or-
ganization sponsoring the production
may regard itself as successful from
other standpoints. Its efforts as well
as those' of other dramatic organiza-
tions, should be distinctly commended
and encouraged.
STAGE COACH DAYS
Newspapers recently recorded the
daring hold up of a Grand Trunk mail
car on its regular run from Chicago
to Port Huron. Bandits stopped the
train, lined up and terrified the pas-

grese[.a a om~y mi'-'' Ua, ao iiu I

proposition of giving the
states the representation
serve. Through the period
has been one of the worst;

various
they de-
Michigan
sufferers,

being some four votes behind in the
House, while such states as Missouri,
whose population has shown very
minor increase in the past is years,
are voting four men above their de-.
served strength.
All of this has been unconstitu-
tional, of course, since the Constitu-
tion requires the reapportionment of
seats after every census; but appar-
ently the constitutional provision is
one of those several which lack means
of enforcement, for 18 years has1
passed since the seats have been di-1
vided properly.
A significant thing about the pres-1
ent reapportionment proposal, too, is
the fact that it is one of the first in
history in which the number of Rep-
resentatives was not increased. The
previous philosophy of such measures
has seemed to be equalization by addi-
tion, to the point where the House
contains 435 members and is so largp
as to be woefully unwieldy. To give
up any of their representatives will
naturally be extremely hard on states'
like Missouri, Indiana, Iowa, Massa-I
chusetts, and New York, but it is the
only method by which equitable dis-
tribution can be gained without far-
cical increase in the size of the House.
The very obvious merits of the re-I
apportionment proposal in giving
states their just representation need
no comment. The question is only one
of fairness, and true adherence to the
principles of representative govern-
ment.
COMPROMISE
Having heard the provisions of the
Reid bill, which represents one ex-t
treme position, and the provisions of
the Jadwin bill, which represents theI
position of President Coolidge, Con-
gress is apparently ready to compro-
mise on the middle course for flood
control, and the Senate commerce'
committee has placed a compromise
measure in position for passage-the
Jones bill.

Nothing was mentioned about the
column being dry.
A TRUE TALE
This is a tale of Sandy.
Sandy was a dog.
Several years ago the Buildings,
and Grounds department undertook a
campaign to rid the campus of dogs
(much as at present), and who shouldl
they seize upon first of all but Sandy
himself.-
But Santdy was no ordinary dog.*
4andy'N friend and master was
Prof. Wilhian rHobbs, with the result
that the Buildings and Grounds de-
partment found itself in a very em-
barrassixg position before the first
day of the campaign had ended.
Sandy was returned amid profuse'
apologies as fast as a B. & G. boy#
can return anything.
Since then Sandy has been immune
from the campus dog catchers, and
even this spring he stalks with a
lordly air amid the common herd
which is liable to be impounded.
That started Sandy's career of;
promnence.I
CATS HAVE ADVANTAGE 1
Contrary to recent reports, the
campus cats are not included in theI
general ban with campus dogs. Therej
are no campus cats. The most re-
cent photograph of a campus cat
meeting a campus dog is portrayedI
below (note look of contempt on face
of cat.)

is a marvelous show. There is a cer-
tain amount of the cutsomary Shavian
wit, and a great deal of very excellent
drama-more than we are accustomed
to find in his theater. In fact it is his
one play which the author contends
makes a. legitimate stage production,
since for the most part he prefers
himself between the covers of a
book.
The announcement of the impend-
ing performance carries local interest,
since Mrs. Mansfield, who has just
finished a season with the Rockford
Players, created the role of Judith in
the original London production, whilej
her husband played Richard Duageon.I
Mrs. Mansfield was also the original
Raina in 'Arms and the Man," play-
ing to her husband's chocolate sol-
dier.

"The Patsy" advertised as "nothing
as literature, but clever, 'good theater
at its best" will be shown for the first
time, in Ann Arbor, tonight. Frances1
Dade who has in the past shown both
ability to act and look beautiful will
have the leading role as Patricia Ilar-
rington. "The Patsy" will be an in-
terval of relaxation, both for the com-
pany and its audiences, between Sut-
ton Vane's drama of life after death,
and Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler" which
will follow it. The play is a story of
a young girl who makes her beau tell
her the secret of surprising a young
man's heart, and then she turns the
trick on him.
"Hedda Gabler" is the measuring
stick for the powers of any company,
and the ordeal by fire for any actress,
and when the Rockford Players play
it next week; they will have, if they play
it successfully, proved that they are
actors who have become artists, and
will have set an artistic standard for
Ann Arbor dramatics that shall stand
unrivaled for many a day. Elsie
Hearndon Kearns, who has played the
title role in this play before, has stood
many an ordeal-the part could be in
no better hands; in her performance
of the part this summer, she made the
character of the striving, thwarted,
bourgoise Hedda a thing of fire and
ice.
