THE RACE BEG11 NS
Sixteen teams in the two major
baseball leagues today start the
long race to the two pennants and
the world's championship. Since
preparation began in southern
eamps two months ago, managers,
players, and league officials, not to
mention the more rabid fans, have
been predicting the most, successful
season in the long history of or-
ganized baseball. .
The less: rabid will sigh and
languidly point out that there is
little reason why the 1929 season
should fail. President Hoover will
get a sore arm throwing out the
first balls at Washington, Judge
Landis will let his hair grow long
and be photographed, managers
will suspend stars and reinstate
them when the box office receipts
drop, rookies hailed as phenoms
in February will reappear in the old
minor league gang, Boston willlose
as gracefully as ever and New
York will probably win a few
games. In fact, even though the
newspapers have been as strong on
ballyhoo as ever before and the
race appears closer than in the past
few years, opening day is little dif-
ferent than in past years.
Baseball is the national game. It
is unlikely that its place will ever,
be taken by another sport. This is
proven each year when the pre-
season ballyhoo creates even more
interest in the game, instead of
killing it. And that is why hun-
dreds of thousands of fans will
cheer their favorites on to victory
or in defeat in the next six months
-it is the national game.
THE GLIDER ENTERS
Now that nearly every one on
the campus knows the gentle att
of gliding either by hearsay, sight,
or experience, the,-time has arrived

THE MUNICIPAL UNIVERSITY
(The Christian Science Monitor)
Municipal universities are cheap-
er than any other form of higher{
education, and they render a serv-
ice to their res'pective cities that is
direct and as convincing as it is
practical and cultural, say those
that are in a position to know. The
Municipal university is therefore A
remarkably democratic institution.
It appeals to the interest and the
pride of the average workingman.
It tends to tne-up ihe whole edu-
c~ational system of a city. It has
been known to draw to itsdoors as
many as 75 per cent of all the city's
graduates who enter colleges, and
thousands of these from humble
homes whose children could not
otherwise have gone to college at
all. But without question the great-
est, good that municipal universities
give is intelligent advice for the
conduct of city affairs and trained
workers to put that advice into
practice.
These universities study the
actual needs of the community
and adapt their course accordingly.
Hundreds of cities have grown up
out of the demands of the moment.
Some have planned twenty years,
a few have planned fifty years into
the future. But the municipal uni-
versity wants to help its city build
with permanence-for two or three
centuries into the future. A metro-
polis, large or small, has no greater
need than that it construct and re-
construct wisely. An energetic city
university calls upon its students to
put their book knowledge into ap-
plication in city Works, factories
and industries.
By and large, the public school
is not thought of one who is going
to return value for value to his,
home town. He is first of all being;
educated for the sake of the Nation.
The state university strives for the
benefit of the State as a whole. The,
private university trains the indi-
vidual in the course he seeks fory
his own advancement or unfold-
ment. But the municipal university,
introduces its boys and girls to in-
timate studies of local problems,
and as soon as able to provide ex-
perts thoroughly familiar with local
resources and limitations, who can
carry on a continuous campaign
for civic efficiency and beauty.
Every department of municipal ad-'
ministration is looked upon as a,

useS with udisastrous enect in still}
life and interiors. A tapestry et-
feet is 'gained with the loss of
spontaniety and form. In several
3large canvases nudes and still life
have been combined in well de-
signed compositions-when he uses
his free technique they are very
good; strong, definite, and with a
nicely balanced play of color and
light.
The few portraits are uninter-
esting. The artist has two other
styles for landscape-a Turnerian
mimcry which is flat and heavy
but which is occasionally varied to
a dapple pointalism in imitation of
the Post-impressionistic French
school and quite dull. The other
is a poster style which should not
be put upon canvas at all. It is
highly sketchy, a bit cubistic, and
is overwhelmed with color. His
'city and skyscraper scenes however
retain some of his broader vigop
despite this handicap.
In completing the circuit of the
gallery it is the colorful row of
landscape which again attracts and
holds the last lingering glances.

VARIOUS ANNOUNCEMENTS
One of the things that happens in
Ann Arbor during a vacation period
is the complete annihilation of
Time. The tissue of school life,
shot through with time schedules,
ly washed clean of any such maeks;
of one sort or another, is complete-
by the vacation amnesty and what
remains is a dull grey place of what
amounts to non-existence. There
is little enough to "do" in this town
- during school time in the way of
a'musements; the problem of vaca-
tion existence solves itself quite
similarly and very much more
poignantly, in actually doing noth-
ing. Life then becomesan exercise
in doing nothing which by the way
is a vastly - refreshing and tonic
exercise from the million and odd
jobbies of the school period and
the problem becomes one of doing
as little as the laws of physics al-
low. That is an art; perverted,
certainly, but decidedly an art, to
face ten o'clock in the morning, and
determine to do absolutely nothing.-
What virtue you fell when you meet
midnight with your record abso-
lutely clean!
However, there was one group of
souls who kept themselves free1
of such perversions and sought,
their salvation in activity. To them;
all honor, and congratulations for
what must have been an amusing
vacation. They were students from
Play Production, and they re-
hearsed "The -Constant Wife." The
play, as doubtlessly will be recalled,
was Ethel Barrymore's starring ve-
hicle some seasons ago, and comes
from the facile and incisive pen of-

d Drama
tions will be sent out but tickets will
be available to those who call at
the Play Production office.;
Rumor is insistent that all vaca-
tion was not idle, this time for the
budding dramatists of the campus.
These persons who have the de-
lightful faculty of imagining and
writing life as well as living it are
remindedthat the dead-line for
submitting MSS in the three-act
play competition is Friday noon of
this week; i.e. April 19, at 12M.
The MSS should. be typewritten
and signed with a pseudonym on
an enclosed envelope, itself con-
taining the real name of the
author.
What happens after that is at
the discretion of the judges who
have not been announced yet but
who will determine the best play
and whether or not production
should be given it.
SERVING SERVANTS
It is a rather ironic reflection
that the women of the campus seem
to have the drama more thoroughly
at heart than any other identifiable
group outside the circle of actual
producing units. The casual ob-
server has every reason to won-
der why, in a Women's social
building, an extraordinarily fine
theatre should be incorporated?
Obviously, through Mrs. W. B.
Henderson, who can quite compli-
mentarily be dubbed a dramatic
fanatic,. the Women's League or-
ganization have been moved by an
extraordinary spirit of generosity
in presenting Michigan, as a gift
from loyal Alumane, a theater that
is a model for the whole State.
But the deeper interest is in prob-
ing the fundamental reason, behind
why the women at all should feel
the need of remedying a need.
Reasons will vary with every in-
quirer.' One is unquestionable;
the indefatigable Mrs. Henderson
herself. Another is the Phoenix
like growth of Play Production
from a not very inspiring quietude
of several years. Still another
might be demonstrated in the
gradual subsiding of the enthusi-
astic rennaisance that began with
the well-know Bob Henderson.
Mimes Theater was once opened
with a fanfare of dramatic revival-
ism. Previously it had been a re-
hearsal hall for the Union Opera.
Subsequently it has stood very
quietly still, serving the needs of
the Union and the Opera, and
then offering a series of plays un-
distinguished by a spark of the
enthusiastic glamour that crown-
ed its opening.
What is now, is the women
throwing a bombshell- into the
stock activities locally with their
new stage. And by disturbing the
stock situation they are doing the
theatre-going public a real serv-
ice.
But they are also doing a great-
er service in demonstrating quite
clearly that there is a wide field of
dramatic activity locally, and by
proving, as will become more and
more obvious as the season ad-
vances, that laboratory groups
cannot operate successfully in a
commercially designed theatre and
that, still more obviously, they
have a definite right to their own
establishment for the pursuit of

their own purposes.I
The League Theatre has only
altered the University angle of af-
fairs by demonstrating the need of
an enlarged and more elastic Play
Production group. Which is not
in criticism of the present organ-
ization, but certainly is an indict-!
ment of the adminmstrative end of {
the department. Of course, campus
dramatics have been, and persum-
ably always will be, in a state of
unsettled flux. One year it is
Mimes, distinguished by stars and
excellent plays. Another year it is
Comedy Club demanding atten-
tion for not too good casts but with
fine bills. Then again, Play Produc-
tion pulls the devil's beard and of-
fers "Redemption." But behind all
these is the University department
of play producing and writing. And
still more important, is the group
of students interested in the drama
who make up only the talent of
the clubs but the audiences as well.
It would certainly prove interest-
ing if a census of students could!
be taken to discover how! many are
sufficiently "interested" to contrib-
ute to dramatics some. modicum of
effort. The price of a Mimes seat,
at the present "top" of a dollar,
ought certainly entitle any student
to a badge of "interested." But a
