right Editor-J. STEWART HOOKER
no longer be any doubt of the situa-
tion in his mind. There was never a $
more damning self-indictment than j
that of H. F. Baker, president of onea
of the large holding corporations,
when he coldly admitted his surprise
at the committee's becoming shocked
at what they had observed, declared
the inhuman conditions were adequate t
for the miners, and disclaimed any in- a
tentions of bettering them. c
This was a great tactical error on T
the part of Mr. Baker. Very probably e
he .could have escaped lightly had he t
followed the usual line of penitence
or professed ignorance, but he shows
very little knowledge of American n
people by baldly stating the issue. Yet, g
if improvements are forced this mayo
prove to be a blessing in disguise fore
the miners.
THE NEW EDUCATION
The old conception of a state uni-
versity as a mill for the grinding out b
of collegiate degrees, where personse
attended for four years, took their de-
grees, and then retired for the restP
of their lives from the academic worldP
about them seems about to be shatter-
ed. The idea of extending the sphere
of the University from its active stu-n
dent body to persons spread far andc
wide through the state is not a new
one, but it seems closer to realization
at present than it has ever been in the
past history of the institution.
More than 40 per cent of the Michi-
gan alumni, if a recent representative
survey can be taken as an indication,
are interested in further reading to
be guided anddirected by the Uni-
versity. If this interest is displayed
before the plan is even tried, while Y
the idea Is as yet unripe, it is interest-
ing, to contemplate to what 'propor-
tions the plan may attain after sev-
eral years of practical accomplish-
ment. Replies from those who have
already indicated their interest show
that scientific, literary, and special
interests are all included in the fields
in which alumni would appreciate
further guidance, proving that the
project is more or less universal in
its appeal.
All of this is interesting to educa-
tors, for it opens an entirely new field
to them, but it is both interesting and
significant to the great body of the
general public and to the alumni or-
ganization itself. The new plan is
more than a glorified extension pro-
gram, it is a coordination of under-
graduate education with the whole
life of the student.
The Alumni university program as
planned, providing reading lists, sci-
entific information, and practical aid
to the alumni of Michigan gives a
wider and broader meaning to the
term education-and the support al-
ready indicated by the alumni more
than assures the success of the
project.
TOASTE OLL
WHEREIN
WE
EXPLAIN
IT HAS BEEN brought to our at-
ention that the belief is current
mong many of the readers of this
:olumn that the signed articles in
roasted Rolls are the work of the
ditors and the names attached to
hem are mere bits of fiction.
* * *
THIS IS NOT the case. All sig-
natures which appear in Rolls are
genuine, from the highest University
offical down to the freshmen, with the
exception of the obvious cases of for-
gery as in the recent Daily Offical
Bulletin column.
* * *
TO CARRY ON this subject we wish
to again ask all those who are inter-
ested to contribute. Anything from
jokes down to poetry is acceptable.
Now that the spring has come we ex-
pect many poems.
* * *
JUST TO START this poetry busi-
ness moving we offer one which some-
one or other composed.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
In the spring a young man's fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of
love;
And in summer, and in winter,
And in autumn, see above.
* * *
BUT SPEAKING OF spring, the B
and G department has given the cam-
pus its regular spring atmosphere.
Several persons have asked us to say
something about it, but that is un-
necessary. The situation speaks for
itself.
WE LEARN THAT the Business
Administration faculty is in favor of
the B and G activities. They claim
that it is training the traveling sales-
men to sleep in farm houses.
REGARDLESS OF ALL other re-
sults it seems that the B and G boys
have at last found a way of keeping
the dogs off the campus. If you
don't believe it just step out on our
campus and look around, that is, if
you can stand it.
* * *
ROLLS HEREBY EXTENDS AN in-
vitation to all students on campus to
meet us in The Daily office and we
will take you out to dinner, BUT NOT
TODAY.
* * *
NOW THAT THE spring weather is
threatening to come, it is time for
the various stores that handle such
things to stock up with roller skates,
Every student will want a.pair to
hurry to classes. We expect the cam-
pus will be cluttered with skaters,
both standing and in reclining posi-
tions.
* * *
GOLDMAN BROS., tailors and
pressers, etc., are thinking of giving
away free skates. "We like to see the
students happy," would probably be
their motto.
* * *
WE READ IN The Daily features
that the Oratorical association was
founded to promote forensic activities
and here we always thought it was tc
promote football.

"HED)A GABLER"
A review, by Philip C. Brooks.
Hedda Gabler!-Ruthless, impas-
sioned, impulsive,-she is indeed a
character whose accelerating inten-
sity clutches one tighter and tighter
as Ibsen's stupendous drama progres-
ses, until her climatic tragic finale
comes, just before the breaking point
of emotional strain.
Whether or not the character as
Ibsen created her affects one thus de-
pends on the interpretation, and that
of Miss Kearns realizes the utmost in
impressiveness. Hers is a cruel self-
ishness which is beautiful for its com-
pleteness of effect and for its sincerity'
of interpretation.
Oftentimes an actor, true to the for-
mal characterization of mean or
treacherous part, is disliked by the
audience due to the dislike of the
part, and in spite of good acting. Miss
Kearns, it seems, goes far beyond
that stage, and makes one realize the
intense pyschological interest, makes
one admire her, in spite of the villainy
of the role itself. Not that Hedda
doesn't arouse' sympathy-the in-
finite boredom from- which she suf-
fers is made apparent, not only by
her own skillful portrayal, but by the

V FOROE PALMER PUTNAM.
Ann Arbor will have the opportunity
of welcoming for the first time George
Palmer Putnam, author, head of the
C. P. Putnam publishing house, explor-
er and lecturer, when he appears here
under the auspic s of the Oratorical
association in Hill auditorium tonight.
Mr. Putnam's visit to Ann Arbor has
especial significance inasmuch as he
was financier and director of the Put-
aam lBaffin Island expedition last
summer, of which a member of the
Michigan faculty, Prof. Lawrence M.
Gould, was assistant director.
This expedition resulted in a thor-
ough geographical exploration of the
hitherto unexplored Baffin Island, and
indirectly, perhaps, in the enlistng of
Professor Gould in the South Pole ex-
pedition party soon to be conducted
by Commander Richard E. Byrd. Mr.
Putnam first attracted the attention
of science when he successfully head-
ed the American Museum expedition
to Greenland in 1926. His lecture be-
fore the American Geographical so-
ciety at the conclusion. of that ex-
pedition. was said. by Dr. Bowman,
irector of the society, to have been
the best heard during the past two
years.

THIE PENNSYLVANIA INVESTIGA.
TION
The report that was finally made
on Sunday last to the Senate inter-
state commerce committee by its sub-
committee which investigated the
coal mining , districts in Pittsburgh
and central Pennsylvania areas cor-
roborates fully the news that has been
seeping out for sone time. It was
rather expected by the country - at
large that the horrors recounted daily
in the press would be somewhat tem-
pered down by the official investiga-
tors before the submitting of the re-
port. That such a condition really
existed out of the publicity pots of
the agitators was hardly believed.
The accounts still turning up, how-
ever, are adding to the ugly picture.
They say that men have been sub-
dued by blackjacks in the hands of

LAWS FOR LABOR
Concrete evidences of the success
of labor's continual attempts recently
at securing the ;enaction of favorable
legislation are indicated in a recent
compilation of 1927 legislation just
issued, showing that every state legis-
lature which convened in regular ses-
sion in 1927 passed laws which were
aimed to benefit labor.
Among the laws passed last year by
the legislatures of 46 states and threel
territories is an eight hour law forI
women in New York state while safety
regulations and pension provisions re-
ceived much attention from the rest
of the legislatures..
It is gratifying to note that states
are consistently paying a great deal of
attention to this very important part
of the activities of the country. Many
of the d', isions of labor have long
been working under conditions which
were not desirable in any sense, con-
ditions which employers had in most
cases failed to remedy until the ad-
vent of legislation compelling such
action. All in all, moreover, the pass-
age of additional favorable laws for
labor is a significant sign, pointing out
perhaps a better future for labor and}
with labor's prosperity, a better fu-
ture for all people.
A NEWSPAPER MUSEUM
Something new in the way of his-
torical institutions has been estab-
lished at Northwestern university
with the beginning of a newspaper
museum for the preservation of his-
toric records and relics of the press.
The repository is thesidea of H. F.
Harrington, director of the Medill
School of Journalism, a former news-
paperman who has already done much
good for his profession.
Inasmuch as one of the foremost
criticisms of the newspaper profession
is that it is too ephemeral, any effort
to make it a more permanent factor in
the history of civilization, whether itt
accomnnise.m,,a i i, fl- -- _'
effective work of the supporting cast.'
Common abuse of superlatives (one
of life's most tiresome troubles)
causes a certain hesitation in their
use at any time. Sincerely, though,
the combination of Ibsen with such
a cast as that featured by Miss
Kearns, Charles Warburton, Robert
Henderson, and Robert Wetzel, is a
most remarkable achievement.
Mr. Warburton, versatile, under-
standing, attractive, is at his best in
Judge Brack, carefully working his
plan of conquering Hedda, ending in
that mastery from which she escapes
by means of her father's pistol.
Robert Henderson executes ably his
dramatic interpretation of Eilert Lov-
borg, brilliant, inipetuous, irresolute,
a colorful character if ever there was
one. Commendation for long studied
characterization, resulting in a per-
formance whose completeness of ef-
fect does not betray that effort, goes
to Robert Wetzel.
Pathetic Mrs. Elvsted is made, more
than a pathetic figure, one who dis-
plays a deep passion andspurpose for
Eilert Lovborg by Miss Royton's
earnest effort.
A certain enthusiasm, a naturally
powerful characterization, on Mrs.
Patton's part, which makes her ad-
mirable in other roles, is the very ob-
stacle which prevents her from play-
ing Aunt Julia convincingly.
Whether raptures over the plays
themselves or something else have
precluded previous commendation of
the orchestra or not is unknown, but
certainly the use of unusually good
music before and between acts is an
asset of no mean worth to the com-
pany.
BRITISH HUMOR
Other than the fact that one has
always laughed at Beatrice Lille,
there is little explanation of the fact
that one continues to do it. As a- mat-
ter of fact, the American public has
followed the example of the British
ditto by taking that comedienne to its
bosom. Ever since she began singing
about how roses in the springtime re-
minded her ofk what any nice girl
would forget-away back in Chariot's
revue-it has placed her up in a little
niche all by herself. She is just about
the funniest woman in the world.
At present she is in Detroit in
"She's My Baby"-just another rou-
tine musical show-but her presence
is sufficient to warrant a good week's
business at the New Detroit Opera
house where the production is housed.
