HIS NEMESIS Big business, in the person of Harry F. Sinclair, has been pursued relentlessly by his Nemesis, the newspaper, and is now about to serve a jail sentence. When thek District of Columbia Trial Court ordered him to spend three months, in the work house and imposed a fine of $500 on him, it was proved conclusively that not even bigf money is immune from the law, if public opinion is thoroughly aroused. Newspapers all over the country have been attacking Sinclair and have succeeded in stirring up enough feeling against him to prohibit him from slipping some- thing by through trickery and echnicalities. The law of this country must be enforced. If it is to carry any weight, however, it must be impartial in its, enforce- ment, both against the rich and the poor. The conviction of Sin- clair is a step in the right direc- tion. . . Ind rya I Mary Gold Beautiful Mary Gold is dead!. Sit and sob by her side a minute That is her diary there by her head.

HOWELL SUNDAY, MAY 5, 1929 TO THE SENIORSj With the traditional Swing Out of the class of 1929 scheduled to take place Thursday afternoon of this week, campus sentimenrt is be- coming definitely cyrstallized in its belief that noyuntoward action must be allowed to mar this re- occurence of one of Michigan's oldest commencement customs. No member of the present stu- dent body who was on campus at the time of the farce that was per- petrateddbyumany members of last 'year's graduating class need have difficulty in recalling the unfortu- nate and highly regrettable stig- ma which was cast upon the event at that time. University authorities, highly disgusted, have intimated that they have come to doubt seriously the feasibility of continuing the tradition. The Student Council on the other hand, has expressed Ats belief that the event z;hould be continued. To insure the latter, the Council has recommended that drastice disciplinary action be taken by the University in the case of every offender. Drunkenness at a traditional function, such as Swing Out, is of course highly unnecessary. Little reason, indeed, can be shown to justify it. In this case a highly colorful tradition is at stake. The Student Council is determined that it shall be retained. But one remedy is apparent, and that is severe disciplinary ac- tion. In stating its attitude, the Council said that suspension, even at this late date, does not seem too drastic. The University disciplinary com- mittee is prepared to mete out just thiy punishment to any senior who is guilty either of misconduct or intoxication while participating in the event. The language is clear and there can De no doubt as to the steps which may be expected to follow any violation of the ruling. The warning has been given. Seniors participating in Swing Out will do well to heed it. HAIL COEDUCATION It is impossible in an editorial of publishable length- to indicate what the new League building will mean for women at Michigan. Let it suffice to say that its conception and erection is in many ways the most significant event in the his- tory of Michigan coeducation. The SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE (From The Daily Illini) The attitude of "somening has got to be done," permeates every phase of present day existence. The alarmists-or those who "view the situation with alarm," and the reformers preach constantly the gospel that things are not what they should be, and that drastice action is needed to remedy them. The farm relief problem which has been before Congress, and the American people, through the newspapers for the past few years is one of the outstanding situations about which something should be done. Prohibition is the other great situation which has brought forth the same feeling. Newspa- pers, the wets and the drys, have assailed, or praised the law from every possible angle. The wets de-, cided, long ago, and retain the! same decision, that something ought to be done. The drys main- tain that fundamentally it is a good law, but there are rough points about it, and they too, at least some of them, agree that something ought to be done.{ Just what should be done, of course, is not so often stated. In most of the campaigns against prohibition, the fact that the law as it is now, is pretty rotten is stated over and over again. Rea- sons, for the instances, that the ,aw is pretty rotten, are sometimes given. That is all. The drys, with the Jones law attempted, by dras- tic means, to make the original prohibition measure, more effective. Whether they will succeed , or; whether they will make conditions worse, cannot be said. The other group still insists that something should be done. In a recent issue of the famous Review of Reviews, is an article on the present prohibition situation. The main paragraph states: "One may select from the current events,! nine of the incidents which throw light on prohibition 10 years after its beginnings, and make it evi- dent that the commission Presi- dent Hoover plans for inquiring in- to means of law enforcement, with emphasis on prohibition, will face no mean task." Following this learned statement, is a list of the happenings, selected from "current events." Included in the nine are: the Jones law, the sinking of the "I'm Alone," the fact that Representa- tive Morgan, a dry, bought four bottles of liquor through the cus- toms, the DeKing affair, and the Leviathan's liquor supply. There is no question that these are all pertinent facts. They are, what is: more, rather ;serious. And their bearing on the enforcement of the1 prohibition law is evident. But, the Review of Review., has nothing to offer about them. It comments on them. It reprints the incidents. It says that the com- mission will have its hands full, which no one has even thought of doubting. And it infers that some- thing should be done. Such articles, as the one above add nothing to tne suM of the knowledge on the subject. The ar tile offers nothing, in the way of a suggestion. It is merely bring- ing back, a group of quite unpleas- tn, l~ erv~ . ~7 4i~nf- r e I year. (Litt.e has yet been changed, I think, Little will now be done, I fear.) Mary Gold, for one year the sole inspiration and hope of that jocose and facetious col- umn which has greeted you over your coffee (or do you drink Postum) every morning for the last odd years, is dead. Mary was inopportunely of- flicted with a broken heart last Tuesday and passed to her great reward at seven o'clock eastern standard time. Mary Gold was born some time ago out west and came to Ann Arbor to complete her education. She had received almost as many degrees as Doctor Lovell and is perhaps as widely known and deeply lamented. The funeral was held Wed- nesday from the Press.Build- ing on Maynard street. The floral offering was large, and Lark officiated as chief mourner, wearing a formal afternoon suit and a silk hat with a gardenia. Mary was robed in a lovely flame-col- oured ensemble which was said to have made a strik- ing effect against the sombre gray of the coffin. The rest of the mourners wore their own clothes. Among those present be- sides the student body and the faculty, not to mention Mary Gold, was Editor Pat- rick of the Michigan Daily (advt); Paul J. Kern, who came from Detroit for the Occasion; Professor Brandt of the Speech Department, who flunked Mary Gold and contributed to the cause of her death; Gumley, who act- ed as master of ceremonies; Yellit, et al; and Emily Post, who said it was all in very good form. Mary is mourned by a host of friends and well-wishers who grieve for her hasty and premature departure. Inter- ment will be in Forest Hill Cemetery next to the Arbore- tum, where Mary used to cull wildflowers. Sixteen years old when she died! Is it too late then, Mary Gold? A, she had scarcely heard his name, And just because he was thrice as old! But the time will come, I swear it wiVJ.l.... Plant her a daisy there on the hill. Mary Gold's Publicity Manager. Our chief work is this: If Mary Gold is really dead, what are we going to write for columns the remainder of the year? Now that Mary Gold is dead and buried, now that everything is al over, the burning question is this: What would YOU do in the case of Tom Carr? In addition to what Mary's able press agent has already so admirably said in tender and thrilling phrases about the dear deceased, we feel that we ought to pay a little tribute to her as well. Time after time, when we had sat and gazed at our typewriter for hours and hours, waiting for an idea or even something to write about, Mary would step into the office and help us out. She was always good for sev- en or eight inches on any day. She was the most enduring creature we ever knew. And now since she is with us no more, heaven alone knows what will help us out of our difficulties on dull days.

The article ran at the top of the column; the letter at the bottom. What has once! been put asunder there is lit- tle use in trying to join together again,-except, perhaps, to reprint the letter. It follows:' "The two plays, "Leila" by Dorothy Ackerman and "City Haul" by W. R. Thurnau, tying for first place in the three-act play competition, will receive public performance in the fall as the opening event of the Play Productnon season. This decision was reached Thursday morning in a meeting of the department heads of the Divi- sion of English, Professors Strauss, O'Neill and Jack, and Professor Rowe, and Mr. Windt, director of Play Production. Laboratory work with the au- thors in preparation for the production in the fall is to start immediately. With the two plays to be produced instead of one, as expected, it is TO OUR PATRONS Beginning Sunday, May 5, and continuing through Tune, July and August,.we will serve Sunday Noon dinner until 3 p. m., with no Sunday evening meal.

Leslie Asken 1 With the assistance of the Girls' Glee Club in furnishing a musicalE bIackground, Orchesis, amateur I dance group, presented a delight- ful program of dances on the stage of the new Women's League Thea- tre. Orchesis is an extra-curricu- lar activity, drawing entirely vol- t untary membership from those in- i terested enough in the dance to practice once a week for a year. One of the high-lights was the l work of Velma Johnson, who ap- peared in practically every num- ber to give an exhibition of danc- ing in sure rhythm and with great I grace, while projecting at the same time a delightful personality. Her work was decidedly interpretive, in contrast to considerable merely mechanical activity amor ! the les- ser "lights." Dorothy Howell's "Bacchanale" also was a spirited dance, distinguished by consider- able emotional content. But the entire sequence of scenes and, solos was carried off with a charm that essential in good dress.
