step in harmony with the trend of
the times the practicability of such
procedure is questionable. Coming at
a time when one of the leading uni-
vesities in the world has just begun
to experiment with instruction in
aviation, indications are that the Cali-'
fornia high school is overly ambitious
if not aspiring to prominence by
means of the unusual. At the same
time, any venture which seriously en-
dangers the lives of its students, be
it ever so progressive or momentarily'
high-sounding, should be looked upon
with disfavor.
Theoretically at least, it must be
admitted that the venture is com-
mendable; but as for being sound and
practical at the present time, it is too
readily open to criticism.
TYROL
Mussolini is in difficulties again,
and this time it is neither France nor,
North Africa which is slated to suf-
fer but another pair of neighbors on
the north-Germany and Austria. In
Tyrol, it seems, an Italian controlled
province, there is a large and power-
ful German minority which, as is na-
tural with rational persons, has at
times attacked Il Duce through the
15 German newspapers of the vicinity.-
The whole affair seems to be about
as shallow and futile as most of the
arguments which B3enito has started
in the past five years-with the basis
that Tyrol resents his muzzling of its
press. Of course, there has been the
usual interchange of notes between
the Austrian government and Rome,
and the usual speech by Mussolini to
the hysterical thousands, but after
all this there seems to be litte or no
cause for alarm on either side.
Besides demonstrating again the
intolerant and reactionary spirit of
Mussolini, however, the affair illus-
trates another equally important fact
which should not be overlooked-and
that is the difficulties of the self-
determination theory for small na-
tions as applied by the Versailles
treaty. It was apparently assumed by

~injFFUNDJ,
WE WISH TO thank the president
and his associates for their contribu-
tion, to the bath-tub fund, but the
three pennies and the two cent stamp
are not enough to buy anything. We
shall spend the pennies at the PENNY
CARNIVAL unless more is contrib-
uted.
WE REALIZE THAT IT will be
difficult to raise any money on the
campus for such a fund because it
wasn't so many years ago that the
Union did just the same thing. That
Union pool cost all the students a
pretty penny, and now they can take
a bath when they want to.

IF THE FUND BECOMES large

vertising will sure to be elected since4
the people will know he is a clean
politician. Now, then, lets all con-
tribute to the bath-tub fund, founded
by the president and his associates,l
to place Bolt in the white House.
MOSQUITOES FIND ARBORETUM{

Since automobiles and their head-

Protective association has decided
that large portions of the ground will
be transformed into dormitories for
student mosquitoes. Following is the

"THE PATSY"
A review, by Vincent Wall
The Rockford Players' producton
of "The Patsy"-to use a gag from
the show-is a triumph of mind over
matter. The audience didn't mind,
and the fact that they were doing
Barry Connor's rather significant
opus doesn't matter. It was descent
to intellectual rock bottom, but it was
well done, and we all laughed very
heartily and enjoyed the evening very
much. Whatever measure of success
it attains is due to a large extent to
Frances Dade, who does more than
act the part of Patricia Harrington;I
she is Patricia Harrington. The
young lady in question is one that
legion of synthetic Cinderellas whose
national convention would have to be
held in Madison Square Garden.
However, since Miss Dade blossoms
early and often in this shabby saga
of American home life, it does tri-
umph-or something very like it.
Still it isn't by the pure virtuosity
of Miss Dade's face, figure and ward-
robe that it does this. Robert Hender-
son plays one of his best juvenile
roles of the season; Kate Holland
Patton and Charles Warburton do
very nicely as the Mr. and Mrs.-
straight from the comic strips; Velma
Royton does well by the wicked sis-
ter-she probably hates the part to
such an extent that her acerbity is
natural; Franz Rothe looks very
handsome in a tuxedo, and Samuel
Bonnell the contrary as the taxi
driver.
It is no good saying "The Patsy"
isn't good comedy. I suppose it has
a certain Therapeutic value in that it
purges the tired business man of
every thought he every had; and that
seems to be what American audiences
want. So "The Patsy" will wave as
one of the Players' successes; but
after having licked the boots of the
plebs, next week they are going to
climb back on their dramatic pedestal
and do "Hedda Gabler."

SWEETNESS AD LIGHT
International Night, a grateful and
expressive gesture to American civi-
lization and Michigan University for
past and present favors to foreign
students on the campus, will be cele-
brated tonight in Hill auditorium
with a pageant dedicated to the idea
that "Above all Nations is Humanity."
The Cosmopolitan club, organization
of foreign students, is sponsor of the
program of topical acts, professional
and amateur, and of the musical and
dancing links in the chain of the
story.
Roosevelt started it (the boy with
the big stick) when he encouraged
his celestial majesty of China to
send th brightest of his court wards
to this country for Occidental educa-
tion. Ever since, the student class
of foreigners has been sacred to the
shining cause of civilization in the
hands of the immigration official-for
all that they have been herded like
sheep-and here they are enrolled on
the campus to learn the aesthetic in
advertising, how to build skyscrapers,
and what Dewey thinks about Philos-
ophy. Noblesse oblige was ever the
Western virtue, and we bear the

COOPERATIVE BUYING
Large scale buying, on a coopera-
tive basis among several fraternities,
sororities, and dormitories, has ap-
parently come to stay at Michigan if
the results reported thus far are
characteristic of what can be accom-
plished through the plan. At one
dormitory, it is reported, the food cost
per capita has been reduced to 54 cents
per day, which, with the cost of labor
added, bring the total cost to 71 cents.
Eight sororities and one dormitory
were admitted to the group in the
fall, and since that time three fra-
ternities have been added. No effort
is made to secure food at a low cost,
the object being merely high nutrition
value, and the results obtained thus
far cretainly deserve attention.
In its first year cooperative buying
has apparently vindicated its exist-
ence-.which is not at all surprising,
since cooperative buying has come to
be one of the fundamental bases of
successful business enterprise in
many lines. The process reduces,
moreover, the question of diet to a sci-
ence in the hands of a skilled admin-
istrator-Miss Lenn Cooper-and if a
prediction were to be ventured it
i
as Danzig is essentially German), the
infliction of Roman government, espe-
cially when that Roman government
is a Mussolini government, is rather a
hard and bitter experience for the
German minority. Perhaps the treaty
makers have still another thing to
learn, and that is the fact that a small
state, secured by international agree-
ment, may be happier and more con-
tented to lead an independent exist-
ence than to be affixed to a larger
and possibly oppressive world power.
Blame cannot be detached from Mus-
solini, to be sure, for the present
trouble, but blame of a somewhat
indirect sort also lies with the states-
men at Versailles who calmly ac-
cepted "plebescite" as the magic cureI
for all international ills.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

Ben Bolt, Mayor Thompson, and
other leading candidates for the Pres-
idency on the Rolls platform are
planning to attend the PENNY
CARNIVAL, it was announced yes-
terday. Henry Ford, however, sent,
his regrets. His wire read: "AM
SORRY: WON'T BE ABLE TO AF-
FORD .CARNIVAL THIS YEAR."
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE not seen
the Michigan we will say there is a
band there, on the stage, which wears
prison uniforms. We wondered all
through the show whether they wereI
really ex-convicts or not.
IF THEY WERE they probably
have not taken the straight and nar-
row. They have found out that it is
easier to rob people by playing in a
stage orchestra than breaking into
the second story window. Then the
damages from tomatoes and eggs is
not nearly as destructive as that of
bullets.
