Hofelich for this matter on the floor of the Congress. It passed th e House during the recent regular session but failed of sufficient support in 11 the Senate. Plans for a deter- 11 mined campaign for the passage ofI the bill during the present special1 session have been laid, with the Michigan Senator at the lead.: Mr. Vandenberg's ardent defend-i Ing of reapportionment is quite, significant of the character of the man. Although Michigan will re- ceive four more Representatives by this act, the Senator is guided pri- marily by a desire for the proper application of the Constitution. Mr. Vandenberg's stand is of im- portance to the state of Michigan in matters outside of the increased representation for it means that the state has a Senator in Wash- ington who will maintain the in- terests of his constituency and those of the nation generally in a most enterprising and efficient manner. While he is Michigan's "fresh- man" senator Mr. Vandenberg is a man of wide acquaintance with matters relative to the national government. He has been a close student and critic of the political life at Washington for many years, he has been an ardent Republican, but constantly fighting for only the better elements of that party, and he has been long acquainted with many of the nation's leaders. His entrance to the Senate was into an array of old friends. He is new to the Senate, but well acquainted ToAsTRLLS RAIN, RAIN.

SIMONS SUNDAY, APRIL 21, 1929 A;NEW IO A Many snggestions for handling the problem of drinking at Ira- ternity dances have been project- ed in the past with uncertain suc-, cess aiid the matter seems certainI to hold the attention of regulatoryl committees again next fall. I 'har been suggested recently that if regular, permanent, "chaperones were assigned to each fraternity but not necessarily alumnki mem- bers and their wives, attend every social function given by the or- ganization throughout the particu- lar year. The idea nas several advantages which will help in the improvement of the situation. For one thing, if the same persons chaperone several affairs, it is quite obvious that the identity of the few regular offend- ers of liquor proprieties must be come known to, the chaperones, whereas under the old system of changing supervision the same re- sult would not obtain. Certainly the new idea has gen- uine possibilities. Such chaperones, detecting the 'difficulties through repeated visits to the particular fraternity house, will be in a po- sition to advise disciplinary meas- ures where necessary; moreover they could place the blame where it should be justly settled rather than permitting blanket accusa- tions of fraternities by which the innocent suffer for the few guilty ones. The plan should commend itself readily to that large majority of persons on the campus interested in bringing about a' general better- mnent of the liquor situation iIn fraternities. A number of other schools have had crises in that con- nection, but Michigan has been fortunate in finding a milder as- pect of the difficulty. To continue a good record and to perhaps elim-, inate the evident slips which oc- cur during a year's social events, the powers that be will do well to consider the new solution. 0v with the fundamental issues and needs of the nation, and the na- tion in relation to his constituency. While possessing marked ability and wide experience, Mr. Vanden- berg's position is of interest, fur- ther he is, comparatively, a young man in the Senate. He will be able to rise high in the ranks of the Senate and become Michigan's most noted representative in Wash- ington -since Lewis Cass. Further, he will be able to serve an appren- ticeship in the higher politics of the national government, before commanding. a position at the top of the Federal government which his service is sure to merit. His remarkable reception in the Senate chamber since -his sappointment something over a year ago has caused many to mention him as probable presidential timber of years to come. Rolls, always endeavors to be right up to 'the minute, and so today the column will be wet. First in -the D. O. B. -Friday was a notice to the effect that the B. & G. boys would surprise the campus with a fire drill at some hour during the day. The exact time was kepta secret and we got more and more excited as the day dragged on, although we were ask- ed not to be alarmed when the siren blew. * * * - Well, just as we were about to give up and call the whole thing a mean hoax the siren suddenly burst out upon the clear air and we dropped our work and rushed madly outdoors. The time was ex- actly 2:34-an ideal time for a fire drill, but you can imagine our chagrin when we failed to find the efficient firefighters. We didn't hear a single bell, or see a soli- tary fire engine. Heartbroken, we returned to the office where we learned that there had) been a tre- mendous clatter up and down the diagonal, some enthusiastic cheer- ing from interested spectators, and then peace and quiet. It was a terrific disappointment to 'us but we're glad! to hear that the B. & G. apparatus is O. K. Do you read the classified ads on page seven?, Have you noticed that within the past few days a brace- let, a wrist watch, two ; fountain pens and a slide rule have been lost, and that nothing has been 'found but a pair of bone rimmed glasses that anyone can get from the Health Service for practically nothing? That's Life for you. Headline in Daily: TWO FAC- ULTY MEMBERS ARE MARRIED QUIETLY._ My, such a relief from those screaming, =hysterical weddings we've been having. Qu'r y for, today: Why did the IMaj permit such an atrocity as "Celebrity"'to run through its pro- jection machine before the eyes of innocent people who had actually paid out money to enter the thea- tre? Plans have been announced for the third annual 'freshman week. The activities will commence at 8:00 o'clock Tuesday morning, September 24, and finish at noon the following Saturday. This ar- rangement leaves one evening and Sunday free to the freshmen. In order, no doubt, to give them an opportunity to find out what town they're in, what day it is, and how come they're still alive. Thirty-five more dry agents are on their way to New York. This strikes us as being slightly simi- lar to dumping a wheelbarrow load of blotters into Lake Erie. I Eitorial Comment Amy Loomis The directors of the destiny of the Women's League Building have announced that Amy Loomis will manage the model theatre that has been built in the new structure. This brings back zo Michigan a colorful and charming personality and establishes authority in a young lady who was so prominent during her undergraduate days that she has come to stand out as a landmark in campus dramatics. Miss Loomis has her home in Grand Rapids. Coming to Michi- gan she graduated with the class o '22. The bright light in her under- graduate career was the invitation to inaugurate a long line of wom- en's roles° played by women in Mimes. Those were the days when men were men, and so were Mimes. In the extravaganzas Mimes pro- duced, the female parts were car- ried by various suitable males that were found in 'the membership. Graduate rhapsodizing has it that , some of the oddities of effect far I surpassed the bizarrities the Opera I HYPOCRISY (From The Baltimore Sun.) One of the fraternities at the University of Virginia has refused to adopt the 'rule, suggested by the university 'authorities, forbidding the drinking or storage of alcoholic liquors inr fraternity houses. This is a matter of internal administra- tion on which no outsider is quali- fied to pass an opinion; but the let- ter to the dean in which the refusal is announced raises certain points of general interest, regardless of their bearing on the policy of the university. For example, the fraternity broth- ers say: We are in favor of passing no rule that we do not expect to enforce to the best of our abil- ities. The striking difference between this sentiment and that prevailing generally in Congress needs no comment. The collegians continue: Passage of a rigid rule is like- wise an hypocrisy, inasmuch as few of us believe in the rule and in+A-MA dn Ar i. i nrnni in Amy Loomis gives birth to every year. But what ever the actual facts may be-and no comparison is possible now-the more important fact remains, that Amy Loomis was the first co-ed to play parts with Mimes, and was the first of a glittering trio; Amy Loomis Miller and Phyllis Lough- ton, who achieved campus stardom on the °Mimes boards. The play which was the vehicle for 'this in- novation was Holman's "Beggar- man," which Professor 0. J. Camp- bell had translaited ,from the Dan- ish for this, occasion-as well as for' his Doctor's thesis. Miss Loomis' principle dramatic achievement, and this in her own, right, was as the German, Kath- erine, in Shaw's brilliaint satire on almost everything under the sun including British methods of diplo- macy. "Great atherine" clung; so in the, popular mind as the ulti- mate in collaboration between Shaw and Loomis that it was revived in 1925 with Miss Loomis again in her favorite role, and played to an en- thusiastic run. But graduation took Miss Loomis to New York for further work in dramatics, at the American Acad- emy of Dramatic Arts. A rigorous study of such tiresome things as' enunciation, pantomime, dancing and what not-which recent the- atrical ccaiven-tion is coming, at least apparently, to contenmn- brought';) palliative in the form of occasional "bits" with professional companies on Broadway. Graduation from the Academy brought an assistantship in the Speech Department of the Univer-t 1sity. In this capacity she was able to keep in touch with the dramatic situation locally, the outstandingj outcome of this being her appoint- ment as director of the Junior Girls' Play for two years. In ad- dition she directed and acted in various plays on the campus, ap- pearing here for the summer sea- sons of '26 and '27 with the Rock- ford Players, and playing in Rock- ford for a season and a halt with Henderson.. The latest position that has ap- pealed has been teaching dramatics at the North Side Day School in4 Winnetka, Ill., from which she, comes to assume her duties here. Mrs. W. D. Henderson, Executive Secretary for the Alumnae Council, I said in an interview that the duties which would fall to her lot would be as many and as varied as the various producing groups on theI campus would care to ask of her. Nominally Miss Loomis is Manager of the new League Theatre. Act- ually her services as business man- ager, director, actress or producer will be entirely under her own con- trol and will be offered campus i" ., ", . 1 ! ~ AIR MAIL DROPS OFF says a intenat o evaae rus provasions I hneadtime in a micnigan paper. every conceivable way, passing !Sounds sort of dangerous for the the regulation for no other pur- pedestrians. pose than to present ourselves to the public as what we are The Leviathan from now on will not. be wet, but there will be no bar Obviously, the college men regard on board.

Already you may be on the road to a broader service-con tributing your timneand thought to extra-curriculum affairs-editing a paper, managing or playing on a teali, doing social service work, acting for the dramatic club. Out of college the same opportunity for public service exists as in college. Men who are leaders in their business or profession are often leaders in civic affairs, too. When you leave college you're going to meet Stone & Webster men. You'll find them taking an active part in the community-leading in civic affairs as they lead in their business. You'll find them managing -transportation companies, operating and financing public utility companies and building industrial plants. You'll find the Stone & Webster organization is worth knowing and worth doing business with. The Stone & Webster training ably fits its men for public service.
