Monroe HAVING SWUNG OUT In contrast with the forebodings of disaster that preceded this year's I Swing Out it should be distinctly' gratifying to look back on two out- standing contributions it has made I to campus life. An ancient tradi- tion that has not lost its appeal to1 the indifference and sophistication of this age has been preserved, andI Michigan men have proved thatI they can be gentlemen about heirI alcohol. The latter is the more2 deeply significant. h h Having proved that they can< drink like gentlemen, for alcohols there was though it did not showN publicly, Michigan men are on the 1 way toward solving their liquore problem. Not that in the past they r have felt any hesitancy about im-t bibing, but the tendency has been t to demonstrate to the great Amer- r ican people in general that liquors enjoyed an important place in theirv sophisticated routine of pleasure. I Drinking, by a quirk of college na-r ture, seems to have become an c achievement for which publicity is 11 desirable as for achievements of t the mind or of the muscles. s And when this publicity has l come so forcibly to the attention of t University authorities that dis- P cipline committees have had to meet in order to preserve the Uni- t versity's good name, the ninety t and nine who did not get caught e feel that an injustice has been C worked to their departed compan- t ion. That is the essence of the o liquor problem. Students are un- p able to realize that liquor has a i place in anybody's privacy, but that b the glow it produces must not be t accentuated into a stagger, a yell, b a leer, or a fade out before the pub- p lic eye. b That this realization came so ti creditably last Thursday is due, of tl course, to the high premium placed b on public sobriety. To preserve it ti fresh in students' minds we would t1 like to see a similar high premium p placed and enforced upon public tl sobriety on all occasions. Hand in hand would go a policy of letting students drink themselves to death, u if they wished, wherever that sad c element of humanity who thrive n by peddling tales of youthful im- tY morality could not see and broad-Ib cast their horrors. p It would be a recognition of the in fact, often denied but fundamental, pE that the college student, until his f w RING OUT, WILD BELLS In the 83,000 words of almost pure horse-leech protectionism that constitute the new tariff bill as it has just come from the Ways and Means committee, there is one item of hope and significance to the campus We say hope, for this schedule is one of the very few in the bill which did not par- ticipate in the sweeping upward revision that Mr. Hoover expressly did not want in his message to the special session. It is hopeful, again, because for once a consumer instead of a producer whispered the more successfully into the eai of a Republican Ways and Means committee. The significance of this particu- lar schedule, which slices the ad- valorem duty on carillons from 40 per cent to 20 per cent, is the sav- ing of $20,000 it will mean to the Burton Memorial Campanile cam- paign committee. Bringing the campanile with a set of perfectl matched chimes $20,000 nearer is a victory in which those who rever the memory of Michigan's short- lived but great president can re- joice. And with this excellent oppor- tunity at hand it would be too bac not to point a moral. In the de- bates before the Ways and Means committee the ability of Ameri- can foundrymen to produce a per- fectly tuned set of bells was re- futed. It was pointed out that buyers in this country had tc patronize England and Belgium fo belle that would not jangle the nerves of a community by render- ing tunes off key. And although American bell-makers countered with the plea that they could match the foreign product if given half a chance, the rate On carillons slumped with a boom. Congressional protection, in re- freshing contrast to Republican pririciples, will not in this instance be called to the aid of an inferior American product. Something we cannot produce as well as foreign artisans will not be foisted on the country for sake of making a handful of our capitalists richer. o - AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION As a further step in its efforts to bolster up the criminal code of Michigan, the state senate hasre- cently passed the Cuthbertson sterilization bill, hoping thereby to effect a panacea for numerous sociological ills by preventing the propagation of persons who are prone to end up in either penal or correctional institutions. In this respect, therefore, the measure is preventative as well as remedial. To many persons possessing purely a sentimental interest in humanity, the provisions of this act, which provide for the sterili- zation of persons suffering from any of a list of mental disorders, or persons addicted to moral per- version, without their consent, will be an outrage tantamount to brutality. Yet one need not be an enthusiast for birth control to recognize -the advantages accruing to society from the operation of this law. With minor exceptions, most alert citizens approve of sterilization of the feeble-minded with the patient's consent, but do not condone any action without his clause, in spite of the manifest conclusion that deranged persons ack sufficient discretion to make their consent advisable. It would seem difficult, as a result, for any iberal minded citizen to take a enable stand in opposition to the provisions of this measure. Chief among the arguments of he proponents of sterilization are he preventative attributes of the nactment. The compensation to so- iety of precluding the intensifica- ion of present community ills is bvious. It is signficant that at periodic intervals additional build- ngs are added to the Eloise asylum between) here and Detroit, 'until hat institution now more resem- les a huge indusrial plant than a lace of correction. When the, uilding of eleemosynary institu- ions increases at a rate greater [han proportional to that of com- ined business and private struc- ures, it behooves society to devote ,he means at its disposal to a sym- athetic, yet incisive, solution of ;he ills therein attendant. 0 An editorial in the Chicago Trib- ne recently commended the city ouncil for its zeal in behalf of nodesty in attempting to regulate her style of women's bathing suits,; ut expressed the belief that they lan would fail, pointing out that n the course of human history re- eated efforts of man to safeguard t oman's modesty have always faill TO$ gROLL HOW TO CONDUCT AN ALL-CAMPUS ELECTION Writing with no thought of de- rision and with nothing in mindl but the thought of aiding our tra-! dition-mad Student Council to achieve their wonted and assever- Music And Drama TONIGHT: Comedy Club pre- sents the last showing of their melodramatic mood-maker "Granite," by Clemence Dane, in the new League Theater, beginning at 8:15, with the curtain at 8:30 o'(:.ock.

(1) Conduct intelligence tests for the candidates (especially in the case of Council candidates.) This should eliminate most of the politicians. (2) Insist that ballot caster present photographs of himself au-' tographed in the presence of a notary. (3) Lock up each ballot caster after he has voted until after elec- tions. This should practically elim- inate dual voting. (4) Conduct literacy test for1 ballot casters, preventing fresh- men from supporting the dear old party because the uipper class brothers tell them to. (5) Countvotes in thebpresence of the entire student body and faculty.

Kaufman's delightful sa- tire of the artistic and material- istic life, "The Beggar on Horse- back" in the new Women's League Theater. '"'e plot of the play must be fairly familiar to prospective audi- ences from its treatment in the1 movies and from constant refer- ence to it as a model of excellence in amusing fantasy-or better, fan- tastic amusement. Briefly it is a story of love and genius. A poor composer loves, well, but not in a wise direction. The girl is poor. But she is clever enough to insist that he marry a rich girl who is in love with him. He proposes to his female Mycaenas over the tele- phone and she accepts. Whereup- on he falls into a dream that is a nightmare of his future life. The Idream is the vehicle for the four- teen fantastic scenes that follow. Play Production is presenting the play at the League Theater andj charging for it in an effort to pro- vide for itself a budget for its laboratory next year.

A river tug is just about what the sophomores needed yesterday. The notice of the Inlander poetry contest has certainly taken effect. Just about every other piece of mail that comes into the office simply drips with spring sen- timent, and letters pop out of the mailman's hands and arrange themselves on the desks in qua- trains.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Ann Arbor Daily News, we quote as saying that nary a hiccough was heard during the entire swing-out ceremonies yesterday. Well! Well! Well! It must be that Vernor's ginger ale. Not a hic in a hipful. "Gee it's great to be a night- editor," sniffled E. Isaac McGlin- sky as the appointments for the7 world's worst college newspaper1 were announced at a late hour last night. Between guffaws he con- inued, "I always knew that hard work and perseverance would win." WORTH THE MONEY A thoroughly delightful show in Detroit this week and next is "The Royal Family" which Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman have fabricated on the lives of a family of stage stars. From the point of view of amusement this show is one of the few that has an almost general appeal. It is im- mense good fun. There is no in- tellectual snobbery in it-if that is the way you identify things that are caviar to the general-and yet it is in impeccable good taste as far as the expressions of its humor are concerned. Another delightful feature that will appeal to the connoisseur of generally unmen- tionable subjects is the polished and salty way Victorian conven- tionality is twitted in the dialogue. If the chief virtue of vice is its gildng, this play is occasionally virtuous, and very deftly virtuous. Its morals, in the ordinary sense, however, are quite faultless- which may be its chief fault. There never seems to be much virtue without a touch of immorality. The cast in some ways shows signs of having played to a long run. Ann Andrews, as Julie or, as some think, the glorious Ethel Barrymore, has quite lost any of the Barrymore quality she may once have had in her interpreta- tion, without replacing it with any- thing very charming of her own. She is now somewhat a dialoguing dummy. But that does not inter- fere with the excellence of Haidee Wright as the immortal Fanny Cavendish, nor with the bounding vitality of bad-boy Tony, otherwise John Barrymore perhaps, who is played by Otto Kruger in a manner that is more Barrymore than John himself. Haidee Wright is magnifi- cent, and Otto Kruger is excellent, and with them ranks Jefferson De Angelis. who gives a delightfully ! KI
