It seems that sincerthe persons who -benefit most 'from activity by Blue Key are those interested in athletics, it is logical to believe that the Athletic association should contribute generously to- ward the support of an organiza- tion whose work is done in the in- terest of better sportsmanship. All reports to the contrary, "In Abraham's Bosom" will be neither a lecture on President Lincoln or a University lecture on dietetics.

Accord- g to announcement made last ght at a meeting of the Student >uncil, the entire section of 1,187 ats is sold out, and a number of te applicants have been turned tvay. Congratulations are in order; ngratulations to the Student uncil, because it was only rough persistent effort on its rt that the objective was ob- ined. C o n g r a t u lations and .anks are due to the Athletic sociation which made possible a etion much larger than any pre- Qus cheering block in Michigan story. And lastly, but perhaps ost of all, congratulations are due the Student body, the group hich has accepted the challenge d agreed to make this larger eering unit an outstanding fea- re of Michigan football games. BLUE KEY Iomorrow will mark the open- g of Michigan's 1928-29 athletic ogram which is composed of any and varied contests in both kjor and minor sports. There is ble to say in regard to the way e visiting major sports teams 11 be entertained while they are Ann Arbor, for during the little e time that they 'will have they 11 be well cared for by the Uni- rsity and by the Athletic associa- n. But unless a change comes, out, the minor sports teams ich visit the University will be Pt pretty much to themselves. There is, in existance, an organ- ,tion called Blue Key, made up, the joint membership of Sphinx d Triangles, the purpose of LiCh is to entertain 'visiting mi- r. sports teams. Due to a lack financial resources this organi-] ion has been rendered practical- inactive during the past two ars, but since new members have, en taken in there has been a )vement started to restore Blue y to its former place of activity. before, the only thing that is ding up the parade is a lack of1 ids Blue Key is an organization" tat:. n4 ~ nn crl 1- - fa Wac_ CAMPUS OPINION Annonymous communications will be disregarded. The names of communi- cants will, however, be regarded as confidential upontrequest. Letters pub- lished should not be construed as ex- pressing the editorial opinion of The Daily. To the Editor: H. C., '31, who wrote of the Housing Problem in The Daily of October 3, neglects the first princi- ple of good argument: assertion without evidence is vain. Neither in establishing a case, does one say, "Here is my opinion. It is the right opinion. Go out and get all the evidence you wish to substan- tiate it." In justice to the housing situa- tion as it is, I beg to present for impartial consideration a few facts. According to the Agreement (the University contract entered into by every househead and every student resident), there is heat in every League House, a temperature of 68 degrees, kept from 7:00 a. m. to 11:00 p. m. daily. There is hot water daily for two hours in the morning and for baths upon request until 10 p. m. The Women's Housing League has flaunted no new ban. On the contrary, this organization met on Monday evening last, to consider how they should carry through the agreements they had entered into for the current school year in face of the announcement of a dormi- tory to house five hundred women. They showed themselves reason- able and generous. In practics, the regulation which H. C. cites has no more significance than.the one which follows it: "Each student is required to prepare her room for its weekly cleaning ..." or "Pen- nants and decorations 'must be hung from the picture moulding." The state fire department in- spects all houses and specifies what devices for ,protection will prevent their being or ever be- coming "fire-traps." The Health Service has power to render null and void the con- tract of any student with any household by recommending that the conditions of the house are considered to be detrimental to the student's health. The contract is an agreement for one semester. Any woman is free to move if she gives four weeks' notice. The fact that 20 out of a possible 732, or .028 per cent availed themselves of this privilege speaks for the situation. The refuge of a sorority is not always so perfect a boon, from the inside. There are sorority houses' at Michigan crowded beyond any 'degree that would be thought of for an approved house. No resi- dent of a League House occupies an upper hall. No suite is ever ap- proved for four. Women students have from the beginning been encouraged to talk oveg their housing difficulties with the Housing Committee, Miss Lloyd and Miss Richards of the Advisers' staff. It is the residents in the house who know the situation there. If that situation can be remedied, the Housing Committee will undertake to remedy it. If it cannot, they are the agents to en- list in order that the house mayl be closed before it offers discom- fort and unhappiness to other girls. No one is content with the hous- ing accommodations. However, the househeads have offered a real service. They have not all perfor- med it in the same way nor to the same ends, but'- this is no time to disparage or underestimate their effort or accomplishment. The Regents of the University have just authorized the construc- tion of a new dormitory, to be ready for occupancy in September, 1929.

"'Twas a home-com- ing party, and all through the house were gay preparations for a time-honored souse." * * * WE'RE EXPECTING A contrib from C. C. L. along about the mid- dle of the afternoon. Only in American they don't call them by that name. * * * "NO ONE WAS STINKO, just nicely whoopee." THIS IS THE time of the year whenIa hazy mist clings to the stalks of waving corn; when through the Injun Summer maze of romance there comes the echo of that perennial plaint-hear it- oh, most assuredly Mr. Amos Al- onzo, the "grand old man," feels a premonition of impending dis- aster in the forthcoming gridiron encounter between his eleven and that conducted by Ward Lambert down along the Wabash. STAGG FEARS PURDUE. "FOR WHICH, ONE can hardly blame the dear gentleman," just chuckled a certain other "grand old man" about these premises. NOW SPEAKING OF football, here is an illustrated joke suggest- ed by one of Coach Clarence W. Spear's athletes, famous through- out the land for their general in- telligence. Now we don't know any of those players personally, but we'll tag this one on Bronko Nagurski, that's not a pseudonym either. It happened last year when the "Nag" helped beat Michigan at the local (?) stadium. * * * - NO LEFT TURN " 1 o j Chief O'Brien-Hey, you, you can't turn left here.- Bronko Nagurski-I tink may-t be I can if you move over a little, dar.- * * s AND THAT REMINDS us-Min- nesota's gift to Michigan is going1 to contribute regularly to Rollsg from now on.

The life of the play has been long and healthy, receiving the unani- mous approbation, of the critics. It was selected by Burns Mantle as one of the ten best plays of the season of its brith, 1926-1927. * * * ONE REACTION Music and Drama Editor: Your comment in yesterday's Daily has struck a note which I wonder that students and faculty are so seemingly indifferent to. With other universities throughout the country providing adequate means of expression for talented young writers, and stimulating the creative activities of students, Michigan gives , lamentable com- parison.,, The Mines- is' 4opelessly inade- quate for a representative campus theatre both from the point of view of its productions and ca- pacity to handle the crowds of stu- dents interested-in seeing campus talent. Why the organizations in- terested in dramatics and produc- tions on the campus have not banded together to remedy this sit- uation, is a mystery to me I should hate to think that petty jealousies between the organiza- tions would keep them from coop- erating for the good of all and for the reputation of Michigan in this highly important field. At present, it is a well known fact that as a leader in the drama, Michigan is a nonentity among other universi- ties; and the publicity from a gam- boling flock of muscle-bound ath- letes masquerading in the Union Opera, or our Mimes productions of the latest, last year's hokum's from New York, is hardly likely to lure those interested in drama to Michigan rather than to any of several colleges who are making real progress. The advantages of a campus the.- atre are obvious. It would mean that ALL organizations would be given an opportunity to produce plays before the student body pro- viding they were of sufficient merit. If it were still necessary to produce uninspiring melodramas for the 'purpose of amusing the more child-like intellects upon the campus, a larger theatre would at least make it possible to run these things for only a few nights. Such a theatre, being uncontrol- led by' no one group, would be available for experimentation in student productions which is not possible at the present time, and in which respect Michigan is very nearly hopelessly out of date. I most heartily second your ap- peal that faculty and students band together, forgetting the sel- fish and small interests of the dif- ferent groups within both, for this great and imperative need at Michigan today.

Leslie Askren When this show opened Sunday night it was greeted by a fairly unanimous chorus of critical dis- approval in Detroit. This reaction last night extended to the audi- ence, who. writhed in their seats when they were not tittering with embarrassment. The play is in abominably bad taste. Based on an absurd promise- that a young couple in love could carry idealism to such an extent that each would tolerate infidelity in the other before marriage if by so doing their love could -be made to last a life time, the play develops into three acts of rather ghastly tragedy mixed with some extraor- dinary fine comedy which finally end happily. The play is on the whole admir- ably written, and Tom Douglas and James Rennie give marvelous per- formances. Dorothy Gish cannot escape her movie training. Her acting is altogether too broad. But from the point of view of good taste, the show has no excuse for existence. COULD GREATER PRAISE BE GIVEN? > Y' 1 Dr. C. C.

But don't over- look the fact that those old Roman road builders and empire builders kept their feet firmly fixed on the ground. They faced the facts squarely. They were demons for detail. They were the world's first great organizers. Pioneering in the telephone industry is like that. It is a work of vision and of leadership into new fields. But back of it all must be the ability to organize men, money, material and machines. The telephone executive must coor- dinate his machine before he can run it. He must understand the possibilities in his organization before he can lead it. That done, his opportunity is empire- wide, vision-broad and ambition-deep.
