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. * * * THAT CAMPUS MOVIE THE GREAT DRAMA, the Univer- sity moving picture, has not as, yet cancelled its engagement for the Anr Arbor showing. Fear was expressed THEA'TER BOOKS TONIGHT: The Rockford Players present Henrik Ibsen's "Hedda Gab- ler" in the Whitney theater at 8 o'clock. "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 ; I' i i= , r C ASS THEATRE Prices-NIghts, $1.00 to $3.00.

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. ]- fi L 1 } } Ann Arbor is glad to welcome here tonight the man who has been so fortunate in such diversified, fields of endeavor.' 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 .a 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. * * * IL CIRCOLO ITALIANO The members of the Circolo Italiano will give a program of Italian music March 14, at 7:30 o'clock in Lane hall.
