ganization new life will be injected.
If potential freshmen and sophomore
tryouts can see that they may achieve
the presidency of the Union without
the dubious nisk ofpolitics after three
years' endeavor, they will be more
eager to work and to continue in the
Union.
Without doubt, the merit system
for the Union offers an opportunity
for one of the greatest advances which
may be made in student activities at
Michigan. As such it deserves the
hearty and complete support of all
Michigan men when it is put to vote
before its special Union meeting,
probably to be held shortly after the
spring election.
REFORMING FRESHMEN
Moved by the spirit of refoiim, pro-
gress, or improvement which seems
all about us, the freshmen honorary
scholastic society has contemplated
the application of the honor system of
examination to the literary college
with the expected naivete.
The system works in the engineer-
ing college. Why could it not be ap-
plied to the college across the cam-
pus? is the yearling query. It could
be introduced gradually by presenting
it to the incoming freshman each year
in Freshmen week beginning with
next fall.
Very surely the honor system is
worth introducing if it can be. It has
attracted nationwide attention as the
continual survey of successful sys-
tems and the perennial discussions
on its operation show. From actual
operation both successful and unsuc-
cessful in various conditions, the gen-
eral principle has been derived that
success for the system demands
strong supporting student opinion, en-
forcement by student respect with stu-
dent honor councils fon violations, and
homegenity of attitude preferably ser-
ious among the students. For such
requirements, the literary college evi-
dently falls short.
Amusing as is the freshmen ideal-
ism, however, their interest if it be
genuine is not to be belittled. Michigan
in all its aspects has grown through
suggestion of new ideas and applica-
tion of others. If Phi Eta Sigma can
foster an attitude of service to the
university, it will have done some-
thing not accomplished by other hon-
orary scholastic orders.

STUDENTS
ARE SAID
u TO SLEEP a
WE SEE BY THE PAPERS that a
certain learned professor out in Idaho
has figured it all out and decided that
college students get 8 hours and 20
minutes sleep every day. Maybe they
do in Idaho..
The chief conclusion of his research
is that women spend 55 minutes a
day "just talking." Which serves very
definitely to prove our conclusion that
nothing accurate was ever learned
from research.. As near as we've been
able to observe from all the girls and
women that we ever met, it's an im-
possibility for woman to do anything
else for 55 minutes a day.
BUT TO BE FAIR (and the editors
of Rolls were ever thus), the gentle-
man referred to above also found that
men spend only 30 minutes a day
talking. According to the two mathe-
matics courses that we flunked when
we were a freshman, this figure is the
idea of a male professor.

Pictured above is the Michigan man
who spends no more than 40 minutes
a day talking. (This is not a picture
of Mr. Coolidge).
But in order that this column might
be complete, the Rolls editor felt that
he would have to carry at least one
picture of "us common people" who
talk more than 55 minutes a day.

. "MY MARYLAND"
A Review, by Harold May
"Any man who shoots that girl with
the flag dies like a dog," thus spake
Stonewall Jackson, like the true sou-
thern gentleman that he was, and
moved on with his army, while the
lover redivivus, staggered out on the
balcony to embrace his true love to
the waving of flags and the singing
of patriotic airs. The gods of the
opera bouffe laughed and the Messrs.
Shubert reflected that they had pull-
ed another one. This was "My Mary-
land" which in addition to trying to
enchant its audience with wearisome
and nondescript tunes, attempted to
include all types and all races of man
in its cast, from the gallant old south-
ern colonel, who was hampered in
his efforts to make sounding speech-
es by being afflicted with a soft pa-
late, to the dazzling oriental beauty,
who looked as though she chewed
snuff-nor, in the melange of young
and beautiful womanhood were the
matronly and the aged forgotten.
Perhaps the most delightful thing
about the whole show was the delicate
little euphuism in the program-Scan-
ties and Brassieres by the Model Bras-
siere Company.

ALL STAR REVIVAL
George C. Tyler has been making a
pnactice recently of reviving some of
the fine old plays which, although they
have lost their youthful novelty, have
stood the- test of time, and casting
them with all the stars he can lay
his hands, on. His latest effort is
Victorien Sarlou's famous old plot-
walloper, "Diplomacy," which will
run for just two performances Wed-
nesday afternoon and evening of this
week at Orchestra Hall. In the mat-
ter of stars Mr. Tyler has been nota-
bly successful. They include Margar-
et Anglinj, Frances Star, William
Faversham, Jacob Ben-Ami, Helen
Gahagan, Charles Coburn, Rollo Pet-
ers, Tyrone Powers and others.
Produced in New York, "Diplomacy"
this season grossed some $52,000 for
18 performances.
STUDENT RECITAL
Another event in the .series of stu-
dent recitals arranged by tlie School
of Music is an operatic program to be
presented by the pupils of Mr. James
Hamilton Wednesday night in the
School of Music auditorium. The se-
lections are drawn entirely from the
classical repertoire of grand opera
and include such familiar standbys
as "Dio Possente" from Gounod's
"Faust" and "Ah! Je Veux Vivre"
from his "Romeo et Juliette." The
whole program comprises arias, duets,
and ensemble numbers with Miss
Louise Nelson at the piano.

"PORGY"
The Grace Denton management, un-
der whose auspices Dubose Heyward's
"Porgy" is booked at the Masonic
auditorium in Detroit for this week,
announces that the Tuesday night per-
formance will be given for the Bene-
fit of the Women's League fund.

"HOME TO HARLEM," By Claude
Claude McKay; Harper & Brothers.
(Courtesy of Slater's Book Store)
Here is a story of the Negro's town
and its multifarious life as seenby
a talented Negro. His people have
been observed to the finest degree of
realism, from their dazzling lights of
cabarets to their cheap, hank room-
ingg houses. Claude McKay is a poet,
and consequently possesses an insight

into the very hearts of his characters.
But further, he displays in this novel,
through his poetic qualities, a sense
of beauty and' phantasy and pathos
and even infectious humor-all of
which truly infuses the genuine racial
expressions of his people.
Yet on the other hand McKay is
primarily a poet and this somewhat
interferes with his technic, and even
at times falsely stimulates our inter-
est. By that I mean that in this, his
fist novel, McKay lacks the sustained
unity of the good novelist. He cannot
for the life of him carry one charac-
ter through 34; pages. Instead he is
compelled to give us a series of in-
cidents and pictures, flimsily related
like so many short poems. He intro-
duces character after character, and
picture after picture, thus stimulating
and invigorating the story. Zeddy,
Myrtle Avenue, Ray, Jerco and Rosa-
land, and the like are thrown into the
story of Jake, who has little to do
with them and consequently they are
not a real part of his life. But they

Never Gets
a "Bite" From
This. Tobacco
Jasper, Tenn.
March 23, 19?7
Larus & Bro. Co.
Richmond, Va.
Gentlemen:
I have always wanted to smoke a
pipe. After several attempts I gave
my "taste" up, for with each trial I
got a blistered tongue.
One evening, when looking over a
certain outdoor magazine, I read that
a certain fisherman could catch more
fish when using "Edgeworth," so I
decided I would try "his" tobacco-
for I am no poor fisherman!
The next day I tried to secure Edge-
worth. The local country storekeeper
did not have it, so I sent by a friend to
the city for my first Edgeworth. Two
things have happened: I still smoke
Edgeworth, and the local storekeeper
always has a supply.
I catch fish and never get "a bite"
from Edgeworth!
Yours for keeps,
