AN INNOVATION
The appearance of three Detroit
business nien here tonight to de-
bate three University students
upon the subject of capital pun-
ishment marks an event in life at
the University which should not
pass unnoticed.
Selected from the membership of
a University extension department
speech class in Detroit, the visitors
have taken an exceptional inter-
est in the opportunity of appear-
ing before a university student au-
dience.
Although the discussion will fur-
nish the regular program at the
meeting of Alpha Nu tonight, it is
open to the public and will be at-
tended by all members of the ex-
tension class. The views of these
men, decidedly different from
those held by student thinkers, are
worthy of careful consideration
and should be well received.
S E-oP
STUDENT OPINION
Lamentable to a degree never
more keenly realized than during
the past few months is the lack of
opportunity for the expression and
exchange of student and faculty
opinion.
Student organizations have at-
tempted to improve the situation
by promoting discussions at their
meetings with the result that
thought along certain lines and
among small.groups has been given
considerable stimulation. Discus-
sion of an absolutely free and un-
restricted sort, however, has neve
been encouraged at these meetings
because the specialized fields of
interest of the organizations
havecorrespondingly restricted th(
nature of the questions discussed.
With the announcement, how-
ever, of an informal student forum
to be conducted under the auspices
of the Department of Journalism
a totally new kind of organization
may have its birth. Following a
policy never before adopted in the
recent history of the university
the journalism department pro-
poses to sponsor a plan whereby
student opinion may be exchanged
and crystallized in a manner total-
ly unrestricted either by nature of
the organization or by the manner
of eondueting its meetings.
sions. Leadership will spring from
the students interested and the
discussions of questions brought
up, whether concerned with fed-
eral investigation of student drink-
ing or tariff revision under the new
administration,, will be threshed
out in a thoroughly vigorous fash-
ion.
Faculty members will be encour-
aged to be present, and from time
to time members of various depart-
ments will be invited to speak at
the meetings. In the case of stu-
dent disapproval of University
policy, the faculty members most
intimately concerned will be espe-
cially requested to be present to
explain their views, and to enter-
tain student criticism an oppor-
tunity which they will doubtless
welcome.
Besides faculty speakers, others
from outside the campus will be i
vited to the meetings to address
the group, and will be encouraged
to enter into the discussions.
The results of such an organiza-
tion will depend on the extent tc
which students welcome the op-
portunities which it offers.
Possessed with excellent possibil-
ities, it is faced at the outset with
the indifference so customary to
modern life. If it can overcome
this obstacle; and once gain an ac-
very nature of its purpose prove an
ceptable footing, it should from the
institution of essential worth to the
study body and occupy a place of
no small consequence upon the
campus.
THE BURTON MEMORIAL {
With the selection of the person-
nel for the carillon drive, and the
adoption of a resolution by the
University of Michigan club of Ann
Arbor to sponsor the erection of
the campanile itself, the proposed
Burton' Memorial Campanile, looms
up as a reality. The further an-
nouncement that the carillon com-
mittees will hold a meeting early
in January and at that time will
I probably open the campaign for
funds, gives an added, touch to the
proposition, which has been hang-
ing fire) ever since it was first sug-
gested immediately' after the death
of the late Marion Leroy Burton.
By the resolution passed at a
recent meeting ,the Ann Arbor
club assumed the responsibility for
erection of the campanile. This
building, for which plans have not
yet been chosen, will probably be
built in the :Mall, just north of
Njrth Uhiversity avenue.
The members of all the classes
which were in attendance at the
University 'during the presidency
of Dr. Burton, for whom the mem-
morial is being erected, have band-
ed together and through represen-
tatives of their respective classes
have decided to sponsor the drive
for $86,000 for the purchase .and
installation of a carillon of 53
bells.
In the meantime, the Ann Arbor
club is making plans for the secur-
ing of the necessary funds for the
construction of the campanile.
Capable men are being selected
to handle both drives and they will
probably start work simultaneously
early next year to complete the
only remaining step, that of col-
lecting the necessary finances. The
entire program, which is to be
completed by 1937, is a fitting me-
morial to one of Michigan's great-
est presidents .and with the con-
certed effort of tha many interest-
r ed alumni and students, nothing
but the most successful results can
be predicted.
FRATERNITY HAZING
The practice of subjecting can-
didates to rigorous physical ordeals
as a part of fraternity initiations
was met with disapproval by the
national Interfraternity conference
at its recent meeting: in New York.
"Rough -House" practices are
r considered by some students to be
expressions of college culture.
Traditional pasts of college life
s they have been accompanied at
times by accidents, sometimes of a
serious nature. These accidents
are considered by the general pub-
lic as being typical of fraternities
and even of college itself. It is
certain, then, that sooner or later,
hazing must be abolished.
j The action condemning "rough
I tactics" was not taken by a coun-
cil of deans, or fraternity advisors,
- 1 but by the students themselves, in
council alone. Fraternity men are
I realizing, either consciously or un-
consciously, that the objectional
f practice must stop, and it would
rbe better for the fraternities tc
I make the move.

I Union Opera?

"The 1928 Michigan Union
Opera," blared forth Fierce Pois-
onberg, publicity chairman de luxe
of the show, in tones flamboyant,!
"will be the biggest event since
Ben Hur. In fact.,it's the event of
the day.''
The publicity department of
the Opera has thanked us pro-
fusely for helping them make
this year's Opera the best yet.
To which we rather pointedly
reply and remind, "The Same

President Little's plan to have
class football 'teams sounds inter-
esting. Why not expand the idea
and make it a Conference affair?
"On Tuesday, November 10, the 9

in football at the Michigan Sta-
dium."

The debating team, it is
claimed in The Daily, has ar-
range a rotating schedule.
Well, they always have talked
all around the subject.
Henri de Kerillis, of the Echo de
Paris, states that he has found
something in Ann Arbor that is
quite different from any other city
in the world. Yes, Henri, it's the
landladies.

S Henri also thinks that our

Henri, where and how did you
spend your time in Ann Arbor?
-* * *
At this moment it would be nost
appropriate to say somnthing for
the music, as written by Eddie Hey- "
man, Lewis, and Watkins, as sung,
by the choruses and principals,
and as rendered by the best or-
chestra that has ever graced an
Opera pit. The latter is capably
organized and directed by Roy
Langham, who last year pulled
the show out of a bad hole and re-
ceived little credit for it. The
melodies are Heyman's, and the
best of them are the stirring "Song
of the Cowboys," "I Can't Believe
It," and the hilarious "Pow Wow
Papa." Watkins' "Queen of Hearts"
is the theme song. "Pow Wow
Papa" is put out of the ordinary
class by the singing and acting of
Danny Buell. The most extraordi-
nary thing, however, is the uncom-
promising way in which the music
of Bud Lewis, relegated to the
background in a publicity sense,
scores the only real hit of the pro-
duction. Granted that "Mexicana"
was difficult for the glee club boys
to conquer, it effectively set the
pace for the whole show neverthe-
less. And "Fly Away," opening the
second act, serves in the same ca-
pacity, at the same time giving the
chorus the opportunity of doing its
best work of the evening.
Individual performers must al-
ways be slighted because of space
limit, but the work 'of Dick Kur-
vink, Harlan Cristy, Dan Buell, and
Bill Browne will receive plenty of
notice in the future, or this guess
