large for effective selection), some
such interested person as the business
manager, and three students.
The first four seem to be logical
members of the board. The selec-
tion of the three students, however,
is more difficult. They might con-
ceivably include the retiring presi-
dent and the recording secretary. An-
other suggestion would make them the
vice-presidents of the literary, law,
and engineering colleges which are
perhaps most interested.
The latter plan would seem to be
favored by the popular control which
the student body might very proper-
ly exercise through the continued
election of the vice-presidents. Coun-
terected by the recommendations of
the recording secretary and the pres-
ident of the aspirants, as is practiced
cn the publications, it would also
reasonably limit the efforts of those
officers to name their successors. The
vice-presidents, on the other hand,
acquainted with the Union but not
too personally, might add a detached
viewpoint.
Composed of an alumnus, a faculty
member, and a student,- all keenly in-
terested in the welfare of the Union,
however, the appointed board should
be well able to draft an effective
means of execution. When the plan
is presented, it shouldaattract the un-
qualified support of all Union mem-
bers on the campus.
"FAREWELL"
Born on a plain Ohio farm, gradu-
ated from a University by working
his own way, elevated by the people
of his statento thegovernorship and
then to the United States Senate; and
then, returning at the climax of his
career to his boyhood home a candi-
date for the nation's highest office
only to be called away by a higher
Power-such was the career of Sen-
ator Frank Willis.
The loss to Ohio., where he was by
all odds the leading "favorite son,"
is a loss to the whole nation-, even
though the nation as a whole probably
looked unsympathetically on his cam-
paign for the presidency. Few more
upright, more honest, more staunch-
ly morpl men have achieved success-
ful careers in public life, and few
have left behind them 'the enviable
record of the Ohio senator. Controll-
ing as he did the powerful Republi-
can political machine of Ohio, the tre-
mendous potentialities of that ma-
chine were never directed to corrupt
practices or unfair measures. Even in
his final campaign against Herbert
Hoover there was nothing but the
most open challenge, entirely on, the
surface and aboveboard, against the
commerce secretary.
To calculate the shift of political
strength in Ohio which accompanies
his death is not a particularly fitting
activity .so close upon his death. It
should suffice to say that even the
most ardent of his political antagonists
will join with his countless friends
in paying a last tribute to the man
who so profoundly affected the life
of his state and nation, a man whose
honesty, integrity, and ability as an
orato and as a politician were never
questioned.
Spring and the advertising of .the
local merchants concerning topcoats
can't seem, to jibe. The weather man
and the agency man should get to-
gether in a little business combine.

BELIEVING TI!AT THE law stu-

which was lost by the Engineering
school, students of that branch of the
University did their best to break
up the Crease dance Friday night.
ALL OF THOSE who took part are
known and will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.*

THE LAWYERS ENJOYED the ex-
citement and all of them said that
they wouldn't have missed the dance

REGENTS TAKE OFF BAN
ON STUDENT AUTOMOBILES
ANN ARBOR, (Special)- At their
meeting the Regents of the University
voted to remove the ban on student
automobiles. The president introduced
the resolution and it was carried
without opposition.*
* * *
"I WAS INDEED happy to learn
that the ban is off," Assistant to the
dean Emery said when interviewed
by a Rolls reporter. "I always thought
that the students should be allowed
to use their cars."*
I t I
ACCORDING TO REPORTS from
various sources the student body does
not want the new liberty granted, and
is petitioning the Regents to put the
ban back."
CALVIN COOLIDGE WILL
ATTEND GRID BANQUET
WASHINGTON, D. C., (Special)-
Calvin Coolidge, thirtieth president of
the United States, has announced that
he will attend the annual Gridiron
Banquet given by the Michigan chap-
teq of Sigma Delta Chi.*
"I have long -desired to attend one
of these banquets," the president told
a Rolls representative yesterday, "and
I sincerely hope that I shall win the
oil can. I'll admit that I don't do
much talking," the president contin-
ued, "but then I could if it were neces-
sary."*

IT HAS LONG been thought by
those who know about such things
that the gates were a waste of money
and now this point is being proved
by the action of the authorities.*

STUDENTS GIVEN FREE SHOW
BY BUTTERFIELD INTERESTS
DETROIT, Michigan, (Special) -
Feeling that he has made too much
money from the students during the
past year Baron Butterfield has de-
cided that this week, beginning to-
day is to be free to all students.*
* * *
HAVING PROMISED THE students
free shows whenever a Michigan team
won a major championship the But-
terfield interests thought that they
would have to give about six of them
in the average year, but this was not
an average year.

REALIZING THAT THE students
have not' had a free show since the
days when they took it, the theater
interests have designated this week
as free show week.*

-Rober~t Henderson
The above is the cast of Bernard
Shaw's play, "Candida," which will
open tonight at the Whitney. George
Jean Nathaan has said that Shaw's
greatness is founded not on his bril-
liant propaganda, which was so pow-
erful a factor in inciting our fathers
to deeds of intellectual daring-do, but
upon his masterful handling of love
and sentiment. At any rate Shaw was
one of the first to make an honest
woman out of the biological urge.
Candida presents a strong argument
in favor of Nathan's judgment; the
play is the portrayal of the struggle
of two men for one woman. Morell,
one of the two contenders for Can-
dida's love, is a militant man of God,
intelligent, energetic, and practical
while Marchbanks, the other, is a
poet who has the gift of divine mad-
ness and who can live simultaneously
in ethereal places and in gutters.
Candida seems to feel that it is en-
tirely just that these two men should
be contending for her, she is well
aware that she is a person through
whom the currents of life and love
flow strongly; she realizes that she
is a woman and (without any senti-
mental connotation) a mother of men,
and is content, almost placid, in being
just that.
Candida presents perhaps more of
a challenge to the abilities of the
Rockford Players than any other play
that they have done this season, notI
even excepting Hedda Gabler. It will
be a great triumph for them if they
can succeed in avoiding the pitfalls
of4 slushy sentimentality and farce
that beset this play, and if they can
keep to the true lyic mood in whichl
it was written.j

THE MIMES
Last night concluded the week's
production of "The Devil's Disciple."i
It may have been rough in spots and I
intrinsically poor Shaw, but it was
Shaw, and in general was much better
liked as a play by most patrons-3
judging from the box office- than
some preceding pot boilers and hokum
shows. Moreover, it was well played
for the most paigt, with several dis-
tinctive individual performances on
the parts of Dougall, Kleutgen, Ten-
nant and several others.
"The Beggar on Horseback" which
was to be produced next, will proba-
bly be delayed until Mr. Shuter is
able to direct it personally, and it is
hoped that "The Masque and the
Face"-a comedy from the Italian,
will fill the breach.

Frantz, a Julliard student of piano

STARTiNG THE MERIT SYSTEM
Those interested in consistently ef-
ficient management of Union activi-
ties may be encouraged by the action
of the board of directors of the Union
ye'sterday in both approving the merit
system of naming the president and
rcording secretary and in naming a
committee to devise an executory
plan.
The advantages of selection based on.
merit have long been recognized.
Plans for putting it into effect have
always had the support of faculty
and alumni interested in the welfare
of the Union. On two previous occa-
sions, constitutional amendments have
been proposed at meetings of Unionx
members; but though they were high-
ly favored, political complications
have prevented them from obtaining
the necessary two-thirds majority.
In the present instance, the out-
look though prpmature, is more en-
couraging. Obviously, the new method
could not go into effect this year. If
passed this spring, for operation next
year, then, it would not interfere with
any possible political balances this
spring. Local politicians may caucus
and campaign this spring to their
hearts' content. Then, with more than
a year's advance notice, all aspir-
ants to the two positions for the
term after next, might put their hopes
in a responsible board recognizing
ability to conduct Union affairs rath-
er than in a political campaign which
would merely test their genius at
political organization.
It is also particularly encouraging
that the movement toward the.merit
system has started within the Union,
itself. According to the constitution,
any amendment might be suggested
by petition, with the currence of 200;
students. Undoubtedly, many times
that number would favor it. Yet:
brought before the board by Presi-J
dent Jeffries, the idea has secured theJ
approval of that board with the ap-
pointment of a committee to draft a
plan.,
The details of the plan are, of!
course, very important. In previous
discussions, appointment by a boardl
and popular choice have been sug-
gested. Knowing the Union organi-f
zation as it does, the board appointed.
should be the best judge of the plant
to be submitted.

dear Mr. Sink:
I have been interested in* seeinIg the announce-
ment of the, Thirty-fifth Annual May Festival at
Ann Arbor, which, according to the programs
offered, promises to be one of the most interesting
of the series. It is especially gratifying to see the
recognition given therein to so many sterling Ameri-
can artists, and to our own resident composers, such
as Messrs. Grainger and Hyde. Not the least of
the benefitz of these annual events seems to me to
be the maintaining of a local interest and partici-
pation in choral music of the finest type. In this
respect one finds such a festival to be a stimulus to
musical culture, not merely for a week, but
throughout the entire year.
