Their's is a worthy pro- ject and one which the student body would be only too glad to assist. That time is needed to ac- complish it cannot be doubted but that time should succeed in thwart- ing or postponing its culmination would be unforgivea le. OUR AMERICAN POLICY President-elect Herbert Hoover,i safely harbored aboard the battle- ship Maryland, is engaged in a good-will mission to the republics of Latin America. Hardly more than three weeks ago, this same Mr. Hoover completed an electoral campaign which was more than' successful. At that time he was considered by many Americans to be more intimately acquainted with the situation and attitude of foreign nations toward the United States than perhaps any other, American in public life. Since his election, he has set forth on a venture unprecedenteda in our history. The newness of1 this move, however, is by no means1 reason for it to be regarded with disfavor. It is rather a definite recognition that nothing less than a sore spot exists in Central Amer- ica. If it can be that a man of Mr. Hoover's training and capabilities supposes that such a trip alone will prove of sufficient import t: pacify the already inwardly hostile re- publics of Central America and to convince Nicaragua that the pres- ence of United States marines within her borders was an act of friendship, then it were better that the President-elect and the battle- ship Maryland had remained at home and spared the tax payers the cost of their mission. If, however, the good-will mis- sion is to be the forerunner of a friendly policy that will recognize the rights of these nations as op- posed to our imperialism, and if Mr. Hoover proposes to make the sentiments of his Amapala, Hon- duras, plea for "a constantly im- proving understanding" between the United States and her neigh- bors as operative upon this coun- try as upon its neighbors, the wis- dom of his mission need not be questioned. There can be little doubt that the hostile and domineering atti- tude of the United States in the past has been a most unfortunate foreign policy, and the continued occupation of Nicaragua by United States marines an outright act of war, in fact, if not according to the technicalities of international law. A rectification of this atti- tude and a policy of good-will which is carried out in a manner as acceptable to Latin Americans as to American interests would be a most desirable step.

Lark is still cowering in a little ball in one corner of the women's desk refusing food of all kinds. His temperature fluctuates between 40 and 1801 degrees, and he looks as worn' as a dope addict.1 * * * Another story broke just as we' were about to send the really im- portant section of the paper to. press. Just a minute now till the, ticker stops and we'll see what this is. BIG POLITICAL MOVE Dear Lark: (Lark is still sick, but we'll take the message) After extensive investigation along the line suggested by you I am ready to submit my re- port as follows: 1. It is found that one Will Push to lead the grand march of the Pan-Hellenic ball. 2. That there is no evidence to show that he Will pay for this privilege. Yours for a complimentary ticket, Rolls Executive Committee. * * * This high light of the Women's social season seems to be causing a lot of excitement on the campus, and is nearly disrupting some of our organization. Look at this. To A Sweet Little Girl From Jackson, Michigan, Who Is Beingf Cheated Out Of A Great Pleasure by Sickness And the great Pan-Hellenic Ball draws near. You are confined to your bed by the ravages of disease, and here I sit in the Daily office, with Lark next to me in the throes of misery. Why, oh why couldn't you muster the nerve to approach me? I'm not so bad-really I'm not. Why didn't you ask me? I'm wasting away! And still they keep your identity a secret. What a cold world this is! Lark and I have ordered a double grave. You'll come to our funeral, won't you? Please? The Lark has a lump in his throat and I have one on my head. Seriously, Indigent Nell.

Smith, Jr. "Oompah, oompah, oompah"- the man with the bass horn blew and blew. "Blah, blah, blah" went Wilbur Hall on the trombone. The fiddles twanged and symphonized. Roy Bargy tinkled the piano in his best concert form. Pingitore pick- ed his banjo for all the music a banjo is worth. Austin (Skin) Young yodelled his best. The drummer banged and crashed his way through to the bitter end.... The whole ensemble blared and muted, crashed and stopped ...It was Paul Whiteman in action. Out of this seeming chaos, came something which to date defies classification. It was concert mu- sic with something new injected. A spirit, perhaps? A novelty? Per-. haps even something illegitimate? But with it all, something fascinat- ing-something which comes a lit- tle closer to the spirit of the age. than Beethoven and Bach-some-, thing which interprets inharmony and cacaphony in terms of rhythm and sound, and produces, strangely enough, a little of harmony, and much of impression.
