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.

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. * * I 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.* HOOVER DROPS OUT OF RACE FOR REPUBLICAN NOMINATION, THEATER BOOKS THIS AFTERNOON: The Fac- ulty Concert in Hill auditorium at 4:15 o'clock. TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT: The Rockford Players present Elsie Herndon Kearns in Bernard Shaw's "Candida" in tie Whitney theater at 8 o'clock. TOMORROW NIGHT: The Mich- igan Theater league presents Will Rogers in Hill auditorium at s o'clock. CANDIDA Janies Moreli .... Charles Warburton, Prossy........Kate Holland Patton Lexy Mills......... Samuel Bonnell Burgess ............... Franz Rothe Candida......Elsie Herndon Kearns Eugene Marchbanks -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 H.IM. * * * 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. THE DALIES FRANTZ RECITAL A recital for one and two pianos will be given Tuesday evening, April1 3, in Pattengill auditorium by DaliesI Frantz, assisted by Guy Maier. Mr. Frantz, a Julliard student of piano and organ in the School of Music, is one of the most brilliant pupils of Mr. Maier and Palmer Christian. He is planning to complete his study abroad next season.

State Small Gifts ii I Carl W. hammer _ _ SUNDAY, APRIL 1, 1928' Night Editor-MILTON .KIRSHBAUM 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.

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.
