THE DREAM REALIZED This afternoon at 4:15 o'clock the coraerstone for the new tWomen's League building will be laid with a simple ceremony. The -occasion will mark, to a very large extent, the realization of a dream of Michigan women for nearly 40 years, as well as the completion of one of the most zealous and energetic campaigns ever carried on at the University. The present generation of Michi- gan women, and generations to come, will reap the benefits of the great new-building which is to be the home of the league. To their- predecessors. however, who worked for years with- out even a hope of immediate achieve-. ment, belongs a large share of the credit for the achievement; and it is the spirit of both the past and the present, as well as the future, which, will be built into the cornerstone of the new edifice this afternoon-- a spirit which displayed not only a' clear vision of its problem but an inspiring energy in reaching its goal, and in making its dream become a reality. ON THE GRID Amid the sustained and sometimes painful academic dignity of an in- stitution of higher education, with its, eminently proper decorum, its pre- cise requirements, and its many fac- ulty members who seldom descend to the level of human beings, it is ex-, tremely welcome to have, once a year, an opportunity to remove the reins from all of the suppressed enthus- iasm, which exists underneath, and to spend one evening in "roasting" both high and low-at the Gridiron ban- quet. Founded five years ago for just this purpose. the annual spring banquet staged by Sigma Delta Chi has stead- ily expanded, until the affair to be staged next week promises to be) the most extensive of its kind ever' undertaken here. State and national dignitaries have been to a large meas- ure disregarded in the invitation list, and the result will be closer em- plasis on local personages, and local events than has been accomplished since the banquet was started as an annual affair. The setting of a national political party convention promises much, and it is troiinthat educationnial ignity that dare not be publicly arraigned is an opportunity both enticing and delectable - an opportunity afforded only by the annual Gridiron ban- quet. What with the lawyers being ac- cused of stealing the "small" exhibi- tion slide from the engineers, it would seem that nothing on the cam-~ pus is safe. Probably Harry Tillot- son got the rule to figure the seating capacity of'the stadium for next year. Now that the Junior Girls' Play is over some of the boys are looking for an opening to develop the neglect- ed talent that has been consorting with them in their classes for the whole year without their tumbling. Query to the B and G boys: Will the grass be any greener this year? CAMPUS OPINION Annonynous communications will be disregarded. Te names of comnuni- cants will, however, be regarded as confidential upon request. Letters pub- lished should not be construed as ex- pressing the editorial opinion of The Daily. LITERARY COLLEGE ACTION To the editor: It is again stated in The Daily of Tuesday that the Literary faculty re- jected the project of a University College "because it felt that the Uni- versity could not afford the addition- al unit." This is only one of the many misstatements of fact which have appeared in various papers. There is need of clarifying the issue, not because it is obscure but because iteration of misleading statements has befogged the situation. As a matter of fact, the cost of the proposed University College was one only of several considerations which led up to the vote of disapproval by the Literary college, as is. clearly shown by the debate which extended over four meetings before final action was taken. The vote upon the resolution was. first withheld from the public with the statement that it was "very close." When objection was made, the vote was given out as 74 to 71. As a matter of fact the vote of disapproval as an expression of the will of the Literary faculty stood on the final vote 103 to 83, which is by no means a close vote, particularly since it was to maintain the status quo. Although instructors having three years of ser- vice have now for the last seven years by action of the Literary faculty been allowed to vote on all question, it was discovered shortly before the final meeting cthat this rule was seeming- lin conflict witha by-law of the Board of Regents, and as a precau- tion their vote was taken separately from that of the men of Senate rank. The three-year insructors voted against the University College 21 to 12, the men of Senate rank 82 to 71, total 103 to 83. On the same question the Colleges of Engineering and Architecture voted 66 to 25. It has been repeatedly given out that practically all other colleges and schools of the University with the exception of the College of Engineer- ing and Architecture have by action approved the plan of the Senate Com- mittee of 65 on the project for a University College. My understand- ing is that the College of Law has. taken no action of approval, and that the Senate Committee itself has not approved the project. Certain other schools, such. asi that of Business Ad- ministration, said to have unanimously, approved the project, could not appl3 it, since its provisions relate to stu- dents of the first two years and their work begins with the junior year. Their action of approval therefore recalls to mind Artemus Ward's ap- proval that his wife's relations should be sent to the War. There are other schools of purely professional charac- ter which could not make use of the plan since state laws largely pre- scribe their curricula. It ought to be known that as long ago as December, 1926, the faculties of the Colleges of Literature, Science,. and the Arts and of Engineering and Arcihitecture, both by decisive votes. rejected the project of a University College. The subsequent disscussion in committees prolonged through gilt a year and a half has served, there- fore, to reaffirm earlier action. So far as the Literary faculty is concerned, the idea of a separation of its college work so as to have separate junior and senior college units has been more than once con- sidered, but as yet neither approved nor rejected. On December 6, 1926, a resolution was adopted which pro- vided for raising a committee of the College.to consider te subject. Three days later the matter was taken out of their hands and they were com- j OASED RLS~ FRESHMEN "DISPJENSE"1 WITH FAVORS o "The report that the dispensati6n of favors for the Frosh Frolic will take place this afternoon is true," confessed Dirty ;Deal, chairman of the affair, after a gruelling cross-ex- amination conducted by attorneys for the Rolls Investigating Bureau. * * * This 'idea of "dispensing" with favors is no novelty on this campus; they've been doing it at the Hop for the last twenty years. .* * * The Rolls Disciplinary committee has decreed that pots may be "dis- pensed" with because it would be a' shame to spoil the unblemished re- cord which the Freshmen hold for not having worn their pots yet this year. Since a star of the Junior Girls'' Play has condescended to enliven the Frolic by assisting Deal in leading the grand march, he has been spend- ing numberless hours in strenuous practice for the event. Above is an exclusive Rolls photo. of the Frolic leader in action during one of his hectic practice sessions. In spite of these efforts, it is ex- pected that his partner will make the march a success after all. * * * At last a practical use has been discovered for art' students. Two of them, admits Sam Nibble, publicity chairman for the atrocity to be spon- sored by the class of 1931, are to blame for the decorations. * * * The decorative features for the event are to be in keeping with the "silver" slave bracelets, which are the favors to be "dispensed" with, but the details of the plot are being kept a secret. We don't blame them. Anything that will really decorate the Union ballroom should be kept a secret. - * * * THEATER.

S* x** FACULTY CONCERT Student orchestras necessarily are a musical puzzle, what with the con- stantly shifting personnel, and the uncertain factor of youthful artistry. -peavtu ueaq s'g 'eaAaot an S1 ly successful for the University Sym- phony and the programs have been of a uniformly high standard. The last concert of the series nat- urally presents some interesting prob- lems in orchestra conducting, while the program is one of the most im- pressive yet attempted. The chief number is, of course, the B flat Piano Concerto by Brahms which Mr. Albert Lockwood will play with the assis- tance, in the third movement where there is a cello solo, of Mr. Hans Pick. This work of Brahms is an ex- traordinary conception, wholly sym- phonic, in which the piano is treated largely as an obbligato instrument, and requires of Mr. Lockwood almost three-quarters of an hour of steady playing. In contrast to this rather heavy, and certainly serious minded, fare, Mrs. Freeman will play one of the most brilliant pieces in violin litera- ture, Hubay's "Azt Mondjak." This is the eighth of Hubay's Czarda pic- tures and is built on Hungarian folk- tunes of which the technical and tonal demands are very severe. The re maider of the program, following, is as brilliantly colorful and demanding as the numbers already outlined. Moszkovski; Spanish Dance, D major. Hubay; "Azt Mondjak" by Mrs. Freeman. Mozart; "Ave Verum," a motet played by the strings. Brahms; Concerto, Op. 83 by Mr. Lockwood. "PRESIDENTIAL YEARS: 1787- IS60": A Social History by Meade Miunigerode. G. P. Putnam's Sonis. New York, 1928.. $3.40. (Courtesy of the Print and Book Shop) * * Great men tremble at the touch of Mr. Minnigerode's iconoclastic typewriter, the sere laurels fall from the idols increasingly fast as his rol- licking revelations knock the pedes- tals from under them. Who cares if the campus did go overwhelmingly Hoover? Fifty years from now some biographer will show the whole thing was due to the machinations of the Hoover-for-President club, who in turn were bribed by the promise of the postmastership of Ann Arbor. It; makes history so much more. exciting. But Minnigerode is no mere ama- teur seeking fame from startling statements. When he depicts Hamil- ton as the founder of political chican- ery in this United States, he presents heavy documentary evidence, 'vhen .Jefferson is described as "a brilliant demagogue, an ingratiating, double- dealing idealist" enough of the gen- tlemn's letters and opinions are, pre- sented to fully convince anyone. In fact, this abnormal documentation makes the book a bit dull. Miniger-! ode treads dangerous ground and seeks to absolve himself, in some de- gree, by voluminous quotations. And with all respect to the men who made our nation, their prose was not of the type with which to while away the idle hours. Only the noisier election years are discussed, but the trend of political rise and fall is clearly discernible. It is a somewhat shameful trend at that; a tale of bribery, corruption, party' acrobatics, mud-slinging, personal and party asininity. --L'Enfant Terrible. * * * SORORITY RECITAL Sigma Alpha Iota, national musical sorority, is presenting a student re- cital in the School of Music auditori- un, Thursday, March 29, at 8 o'clock.
