ESTABLISHED 1890 Yr Ain" Ahr 41P ZI.-W, 14W t r t a n a~ MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS VOL. XXXVIII, NO. 154. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1928. EIGHT 1P SCHOOL JOURNALISTS HEAR ASSISTANT DEAN AT OPENING METN TALK BY IIUMPHREYS SCHOLASTIC PRESS MEETING OPENSI 200 ARE IN ATTENDANCE Journalistic Organizations Sponsor Three Day Convention Of School Editors "Don't go to college if you don't want to. Go to college if you want to get a college education, for then we will be glad to have you," Wilbur R. -Humphreys, assistant dean of the lit- erary college admonished the more than 200 delegates at the opening as- sembly of the Michigan Interschol- astic Press assciation in the Union last night. "It is possible," Dean Humphreys continued, "to get a fine education in the school of experience-but tuition there comes high. If you want to come 'to college it is the best place for you." Dean Humphreys then went on to advise the high school editors to get a good start when they first enter college. "It is not so much more dif- ficult," he said, "but the pace is fast- er. You can't look for someone to say 'Come, the parade has started.' You must prepare to fall in of your1 own accord!"1 Dean Humphreys warned the dele- gates against two things if they come' to college, emphasizing the pitfalls of doing too much outside work and of preparing too narrowly for vocational work. "For one thing, you can't tell1 what your vocation will be," he de- clared. "And what is more important, you -should plan on spending some time in acquiring the broad cultural1 education which is really the founda- tion of the other professions." Drumm Welcomes Delegates In making the address of welcome, Prof. John L. Brumm, head of the1 journalism department, suggested as a possible keynote of the convention the phrase, "The mistakes that make, men of us are better than the accura- cies that make us children.' It is our mistakes that make us more intelli- gent an d that help us to grow," Pro-j fessor Brumm declared. Professor Brumm emphasized the value of setting up an ideal of leader- ship in the community served the var- ious newspapers. "This is one of the1 greatest services a newspaper can render, both to itself and to the com- munity which it serves," Professor Brumm averred. The speaker also advised delegates against falling into a rut in preparation for the future. "It is a good practice," Professor Brumm declared, " to think of your future in the terms of the satisfaction which you wish to receive from your later efforts. You should look for the thing that will give you the greatest happiness and avoid not rising above the mediocre." Kenneth G. Patrick, '29, president of Sigma Delta Chi, welcond the delegates on behalf of the profession- al journalistic fraternity and pre- sided at the opening session. Regis- tration was held yesterday afternoon I in the Union, and it was estimated last night that between 200 and 300 delegates are in attendance. Regis- tration was in charge of George C. Simmons, '30, chairman of the room- ing comm ittee. Spcikers Anioiced Allen Schoenfield, Ann Arbor o~- respondent for the Detroit News, will address this morning's session at 9 o'clock in the Union. This will be conducted by members of The Daily staff, Sigma Delta Chi, and the journ- alism department, the rooms for the discussions to be announced at the assemnblies. Lee A. White, editorial executive of The Detroit News, will be the main speaker at the assembly at 1:30 o'- clock in the -Union.' This will e fol- lowed by discussion groups to be held from 3 to 5 o'clock in the journalism department. The annual banquet will be held tonight at 5:45 o'clock in the Union, with Professor Brumm acting as toastmaster. Speakers for the ban- quet are Coach Fielding H. Yost, di- rector of Intercollegiate Athletics and Shirley W. Smith, secretary and busi- nest manager of the University. The convention will continue1 through S'aturday, with the annual luncheon scheduled for Saturday noon in the Union at which time H. Stew- art Hooker, '29, general chairman, will award the newspaper cups to the prize-winning newspapers. Rob- ert W. Desmond, of the journalism department, will act as toastnaster at this time. SUNDAY TO MARK ANNUAL CANE DAY Senior men of all schools and col- leges of the University will appear on the campus Sunday carrying their class canes for the first time this year in observance of Cane day. This will mark the thirty-ninth year in which canes have been carried by seniors during the month preceding Commencement to commemorate the use as canes of wooden pickets taken from the fencethat at one time sur- roundled the campus. Members of the senior literary class will have their last opportunity to se- cure canes today from 1 to 5 o'clock when they will be distributed at the Union. Seniors must bring receipts in order to secure canes, members of the class cane committee announce. JUNIOR GIRLSTO GIVE F[IN AL PLAY SHOWING "For The Love Of Pete" Holds Fintal Performance As Attractioir Of Club Conenton TICKETS STILL ON SALE Gay times and costumes will again occupy the Whitney theatre when the 24th annual Junior Girls' Play, "For The Love of Pete," appears for its closing performiance at 8:30 o'clock tonight. The showing is a special at- tracton of the social program of the Michigan Schoolmasters' Club, con- vening here at present, but tickets are open to the general public. Seats are on sale at the box office of the Whitney theatre, or they may be obtained through Marie Hartwig, '29, business manager, at the Helen Newberry residence. A sale of tick- ets has also been provided for at a table set up for that purpose in Uni- versity hall this afternoon. The return of the play is greeted with pleasure by those who missed it during its original run of a week at the Whitney, March 19-24. At that time it gained high praise from critics. "Play by play," Marian L. Welles, wom- en's editor of The Daily, stated in review, "the junior production carries a galaxy of ungovernable American students on a floating university headed by a faculty of priceless types of professional incapacity." The plot makes use of its setting to advantage, presenting a clever sa- tire on intellectualism. In this ca- pacity the cruise takes one to the land of Media, home of the mediocre man, where the intellegencia are banned and standardi7zation is the rule. The second act, therefore, af- fords an opportunity for several un- ique songs and dances, particularly the chant of the Median wom-en and the soldiers chorus of Median men. Unique as a product of the work of women alone, the show: should hold a special attraction for visitors in the city, particularly when one bears ech- oes of its former run tt en effect that Theodora Maloy, the young lady who takes the male lead, is "the best dressed man on campus." AUTHOR'S IMPLICATION IS BEST OF MATERIAL ZONA GALEDECLARES WOMAN NOVELIST EMPHASIZES COMMONPLACE THINGS IN TALK HERE GIVES INLANDER LECTURE Tells Audience That Gleanings From Between Lines Are Valuable ! To Reading Public "The implication in writing, that which is not said but merely left for the reader to glean between the lines is essentially the most worth-while part of the material, rather than that which is simply expressed in so many words," declared Mss Zona Gale, noted author and playwright, in a talk in Hill auditorium yesterday af- ternoon under the auspices of the In- lander and the American association of university women. "For example of what I mean by implications," dontinued Miss Gale, think of a child's conversation. The child will probably say very little in actual words, but by that child's ex- pressions are inferred certain other very definite thoughts which consti- tute the implications in the speec and are therefore pertinent in the interpre- tation of what is meant by the lines. Is New Psychology "What I am driving at is the concep- tion of a latent power within the mind of the reader to see familiar, common- place, everyday things, with a fresh light, with a new spirit, and with a certain sense of the dramatic," Miss Gale averred. "There is a new psychology in the world which helps us to understand moments which here- tcfore had merely a word meaning but which have come to bring with them a deeper sense, a sense which is what I refer to con'stantly as the im- plication of the language." Discussing the difference between what she considered a "live book" and what she considered a "dead book," Miss Gale maintained that, "A live book is a book which has an indefin- 'able power of searching into things below the surface of ordinary mean- ing from written lines. Such, a book delves deeper; such a look has worth-while implications. On the other hand the dead book to my mind simply states the facts and lets the reader take them as they are, but fails miserably in imparting any deep- er, more valuable, and I think far more important sense. iHumor Has Implications "Humor, for example, obviously, has its implications," continued Miss Gale,' "and it cannot be denied, I think, that the secret of most humor is doubtedlessly resting upon the impli- cations in the statement of the humor. Humor is the great American art and the public is ready to 1aug11 at the implications of such material. If only we cau~ght people's implica- tions in their actions, their manners, their speech, as well as we catch the implications of humor, a great deal woul be gained by everybody." Miss Gale concluded her lxcture with several readings from her works including recitations of "Autobiogra- phy" and "Bill," illustrating the points with specific reference to the lines she was reading as she concluded each selection. She asked the audience to try to put themselves in the part of the principal character in the story, for in 'that way, she emphasized, could the listeners best get the impli- cations and full meanings which she had intended in writing the pieces.- The Weather NOMINATION DATE LIMIT PROLONGED Because of an insufficient number of petitions for the various elective po- sitions of the Union, the nominating committee announced yesterday after- noon following its first meeting that further petitions will be accepted un- til tomorrow noon which is the ab- solute deadline for those desiring to submit themselves to the vote of the student body at the elections to be held May 9.

The topic of the debate is: "Re- solved, That the direct primary sys-; tem of nominating candidates. for pub-I lie office in the United States should be abolished. Royal Oak will uphold the affirmative and Zeeland the nega- tive. Prof. James M. O'Neill, head of the Speech department of the University, will act as chairman ofthe champion- ship contest. The three judges who have been selected are Dean Edward H. Kraus, Dean Clare E. Griffin, and Prof. William A. Frayer. The Royal Oak debating team is composed of Dorothy Davis, Toin Lederle, and Edward Aldinger. The Zeeland team is composed of three girls, Helen Clark, Winona Wells, and Alice Katte. pate Successful Seasons These two schools won their way to the state championship debate by emerging successfully from their four debate-s in the preliminary series ar- ranged by the Michigan High School debating league, and by winning four successive contests in the elimination series. The two schools which were eliminated in the semi-final debates were Memphis and Cheboygan. Both Royal Oak and Zeeland lost one de- bate in the preliminary series, but won their other three ,contest's by unanimous decisions. Holding a place of interest second- ary only to that of the championship debate is the Hight School Pupil- STeachers conference, which will be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon in Hill auditorium. The main address of this conference will be . delivered by President Clarence Cook Little on the subject, "Why Go To College." Registrar Ira M. Smith, will pre'side at the conference, which is being held to answer any questions in th-e minds of high school seniors relating to their entrance to any, college or untversity n Representatives from every school and college of the Unri- versity will be on hand to answer the queries of the high schoolstudents- which refer to their ,particular depart- men t. Each visiting high school delegate, through the courtesy of the Athletic association, will be given a compli- mentary ticket to the Michigan-Sya cuse baseball game at 4:05 o'clock. Complimentary copies of the Fresh-' man handbook will be given to every delegate who asks for one. This was made possible by an appropriation of the Regents for this purpose. CARLSON REACHES NORTHLAND GOAL Word was received recently by TWENTH ID ANNUAL UNION OPERA SHOWING PERIOD OF REGISTRATION HAS1 BEEN CARRIED ON THIS WEEK1 TRIP WILL BE LONGERt Hold Meeting For Those Interested In Writing Opera Book; Royer Will Drect Choruses Newness and originaity in every- thing from the nature of the book and music to the execution of the settings and the composition of committees wil feature the 1928 Union Opera, if the present plans of Mimes are fol- lowed. Next fall will mark the 23rd Opera to be produced. on the Michi- gan campus, and it is intended that this shall mark another turning point in the nature of the presentation in order that the complaints of the last few years regarding the stereotyped nature of the show be satisfied, ac- cording to E. Mortimer Shuter. Need Many Men As a starting point in the new plans a period of registration has been car-l ried on at the Mimes theater all this week, between' the houre of 4 and 5:30 o'clock each afternoon. Several of the more experienced members of the casts, choruses, and committeesl of the last two or three years will this year be lost to the production by grad- uation, and the task of breaking in en- .rely new men has been siezed as an opportunity of changing the show to! a radical degree. It is being espec- ially emphasized by Mr. Shuter thate all of the various activities are open to tryouts, cast as well as chorus and committee, and that new faces are de- sired for the company. Applicants for any of these departments should leave their names and a description of theirt abilities at the Mimes theater. The trip that is being planned for the next Opera will be longer than any that have been attempted before. Besides all of the places in the East and middle West that were included this year, the Opera will play engage- ments in New York and Washington. Meeting Held A meeting of those interested In waitig an Opera book was held yes- terday afternoon in the Union under Donal Hamilton Haines, of the jour- nalism department, in the absence of Mr. Shuter. The requirements of the book were explained, and suggestions were made that would assist the as- pirant in preparing a manuscript dif- ferent in form and content from those of the past. Greater stness will be laid in the next production on the voices, both individual and chorus. A method of selecting music that was used several years ago will again be resorted to this year in order to raise the standard of the music and make it more diversified. All who are interested are requested to write up their ideas, and in the near future they will be given an opportunity of playing their music before a commit- tee. The score will be made up from selections of several insteadof being written by a single individual. Roy Hoyer, for several years lead- ing man with Fred Stone, will be in Ann Arbor, May 15 to direct the chor- uses in preliminary dance routines. Hoyer has assisted in the preparation of many past Operas, but has been unable to attend for two years past. His contributions to the Opera rou- tines have always increased the val- ue of the whole production. The per- sonnel of the choruses will be selected before that date, and work will begin immediately, lasting until the end of school. It is expected that the announce- ment of the general chairman of this year's Opera will be made within the next few days, and it is possible that some of the committee appointments will be made this spring. i IA IT g iV DT O )TICKETS ON SALE TODA YFOR BALL ORit"'IIA'LTY TO TODAY ___ _ Tickets for the annual Senior Ball, which is to be held Friday, May 18, in the ballroom of the Union, will be on sale today from 9 o'clock until 12 and from 2 until 4 o'clock in the lobby of the Union.

Dr. Wester- man has chosen to speak on "Trans- portation and Communication Chang- es in Antiquity." Dr. Westerman's lecture is open to the public. lined the plan of his University Col- lege idea before the assembled school- men of the state. President Little opened his discussion by a few re- marks upon the most recent develop- ments, that of the passage of the proposal by the Regent, Wedneday afternoon. He then outlined five points in the University college as he has now planned it. The first object will be the chance for rapid advancement by the excep- tional student, President Little declar- ed. He pointed out that at present superior students and the average are held together, and that many who could step ahead are held back. The second was the proposal of compre- hensive examinations after the end of the second year. "These examina- tions must also test the teacler as well as the pupil," he said, "for then the teacher will find out what he has accomplished." Encourages Choices The third point stressed the idea' that the pre-professional groups will encourage wider and more able choic- es in selecting the life work. "I do not believe that the American college real- izes that it is fitting the American boy or girl for his future destiny" he de- clared. In the 'period before going into a professional school, the nw college student will have a chance to look around and decide what he rally wants to do, disregarding outside or previous influences. The fourth point, as the President outlined the idea, was that of contact with the professional groups, and the last was that of introducing special courses for those who are in college only to acquire a cultural education. and not a specialized one. He pointed out that now most professors are interested only in those students who are specializing in thein field, and pay little attention to giving the others, the majority, a knowledge of the sub- ject. He named the two main objects of the idea in conclusion: the desire to have a better educational standard and an earned one; and the desire to give the students a greater sense of obligation to parents and the state. Three Addresses Given At the opening meeting yesterday afternoon in room C of the Law build- ing Pnof. L. W. Smith, Dean of Junior College, Joliet, Ill., was the first speaker on a program of three ad- dresses, speaking on "The Junior Col- lege ;Dkvelopment and Its Import- ance." Professor Smith gave a very clear presentation of the junior col- leges of the North Central associa- tion, emphasizing the need for stan- dardization in the secondary educa- tion system. The next speaker, Floyd' Reeves of the North Cental associa- tion of colleges, taking "The Financial Support of Colleges" as his subject outlined the financial status of 29 colleges giving in detail some of the difficulties in endowment and expens- es that areprevalent among these and other institutions of the same kind The final address on the program, de- livered by Dr. David Robetson of Washington, D. C., on "What's What in Higher Education," while concern- ed withthe defining of ambiguous terms, was concentrated on the inter- pretation of the words "university" and "college" with reference In par- ticular to the prevalent evil of bogus titles, degrees, and diplomas. The first event on today's program will be the annual convocation at 11 o'clock in Hill auditorium.
