The Interfraternity council of whereas - this - the - resolved-that fame and the Senate committee on student affairs having again taken up their duties, the season is open for expressions of opinion anent fraternity rushing, particularly the deferred variety which we have not! and are not sure that we want. Cer- tain proponents of this policy are adamant in their beliefs that the freshmen as a class are far too in- genuous, guileless, and trusting to meet the city-slicker, high-pressure fraternity salesman on an any-i where near equal basis. There are, however, a surprising j, number of persons on the campusj who are hopeful and perhaps evenI optimistic about the intelligence of normal high school graduates. Many go so far as to consider the freshmen brilliant enough to see through high-powered rushing, to see the real individuals of whom fraternities are composed. These radicals are usually frowned upon by men who admit their own su- perior mentalities. Yet the facts remain. If some beneficent organization is going to solve all of the fresh- man's problems for him during his college career, tell him what to do and what not to do, the self-re- liance he would ordinarily obtain from independent action is com- pletely and perhaps forever lost. When he has graduated from col- lege and his crutch has been taken away from him, he will be quite likely to stumble into a ditch. Until the present the freshman has had nothing to say concern- ing his own ideas of rushing, de- ferred or otherwise. There is an evident need for settlement of this question which has been perennial, or rather chronic. In view of these facts, The Daily would appreciate any communications from the freshmen on this subject. Now that one political machine has installed the varsity cheerlead- er as senior class president, we sup- pose the boys who supported the other machine's ticket will refuse to cheer. 0 When Ohio lines up to kick off this afternoon some one will prob- ably remark that they have been dead a long time already. ___-o OAsTED ROLL AFTER PURDUE FINALLY WON A GAME The following epic was gleaned from the editorial columns of our esteemed contemporary, The Pur- due Exponent.

Worboys Marvin Kobacker F - m i I That terrific ball game of lasto Saturday afternoon when Purduen defeated Michigan mentally, mor- a ally and physically, has long beenv over and most of the 20,000 spec-t tators are reported well on the roade to recovery, but a Boilermaker fan,t even now, may find any number ofa boosters ready to play the gridironp classic all over again.- Classes were held as usual yes-c terday, but there were a few stu-s dents who could not make them. If those persons stayed away tot sleep, they missed out completely for in each class long before theP bell rang or roll was even thought of, the first quarter of the game's replay was well under way.f Sleight, Yunevitch, Harmeson,I Welch-and all the others of Jim-I my's ball club were given H's for the day without even being calledf upon. And an H at Purdue doest not stand for the same thing thatt Coach Harry Kipke gave his boys1 last night at Ann Arbor.t The boys that came back to WestI Lafayette from all over the MiddleI West, who have seen Purdue foot- ball teams work their way up from fighting with Indiana for the cel- lar position, were the ones thatE left the stadium making the mostI "whoopie." . It is reported that in-, dustry was at practically a stand-1 still yesterday, while Purdue alum- ni neglected work to collect their1 bets from Michigan losers. Pur- due graduates are everywhere, you know. Although the two Lafayettes onj the "banks of the Wabash" seemed] rather quiet Saturday night, here is what Albert Holden, sports writer: for the Chicago Herald-Examiner, wired back to his paper:I "Lafayette is burning down to- night. Students from Purdue have been marching with torches, the old bell on the campus has been ringing for six hours without miss- ing a peal and aged alumni are kissing horses at the county court- house water trough. The Monon tracks will be torn up for miles in both directions in another hour and Coach Jimmy Phelan has been elected President of the United States. If the state militia is ordered out they will be led down to the Wabash river and (fed to the sharks by the delirious Hoosiers. It all came about because Pur- due's football team, that was as hopelessly beaten as the Athletics, refused to quit and, coming from behind with a historic landslide, rushed over four touchdowns in the last fifteen minutes to defeat Mich- igan 30 to 16. The Big Ten in all its history has probably seen only two or three game in thirty years that rivaled the furious comeback of the Boil- ermakers and the total collapse of the Wolverines. It was a team gone mad and an- other team gone as helpless as the Cubs in its stark terror over what was happening. Michigan didn't quit. Michigan teams don't quit.- They simply blew up like a dirigi- ble that had been hit with twenty shells at the same instant. If the collapse had come five minutes earlier Purdue might have had six- ty points, for touchdowns were roll-j ing up after every four or five plays. * * It is certainly lucky that the Purdue Deponent doesn't run a humor column on the editorial " THE TRUTH ABOUT BLAYDS" A Lay Review by George C. Tille As a stranger to this column and one who does not profess anything more than an inexpert fondness and an unprofessional interest in what passes on the stage, my es- timate of Play Production's latest; effort will probably be pooh-poohed by the smart people who can enjoy a thing and then make it sound horrible in print. It may be innate charity or the devastating result of my critical sense having been still born. However-to those happy mortals to whom the stage is a recreation and not a stimulus to intellectual grouches, I can heartily recommend a trip tonight to the Lydia Men- delssohn theatre. Milne's vehicle flops a little in the supporting roles, but Florence Tennant, despite a head somewhat too mobile on her charming shoulders, does a beauti- ful and sensitive interpretation of the lead. In fact the best shot of the show comes just before the Act I curtain when she kneels beside the collapsing Oliver Blayds, bum poet, selfish impostor, and good ac- tor. Robert Wetzel (made up, inci- dentally, to the queen's taste) has the difficult role of the nonagen- erian plagarist who must in a few brief moments on the stage create all the background and knit up all the loose ends of the play. He cre- ates just the right amount of long- practiced canniness, long-hidden need of confessing, and paramount desire for the public's adulation- all without overdoing the senility into which his part might easily have trapped him. To conclude: Paradoxically, or not paradoxically, Mr. Windt's fe- male roles take better than his male ones-all in all he is doing well. Milne's best crack is "That's what God said after he'd made Swinburne." "LITTLE ACCIDENT" "Little Accident," the Floyd-Mit- chell opus that is booked for an engagement of one week at the Shubert-Lafayette theatre, had a modest start in New York but soon caught the public fancy and en- joyed good runs there and in Chi- cago. Floyd Dell wrote the orig- inal story calling it "An Unmar- ried Father." But all that remains of the Dell story is the bare skele- ton of the plot. All the question- able implications of the situation have been Puritanically removed, the extraordinary complications of it being taken not soo seriously. Thomas Mitchell, long known on the Eastern stage as an expert far- ceur, has taken Dell's story and leaned toward laughs rather than toward blushes, even managing a happy ending. The title becomes less tragic but quite as meaning- ful, "Little Accident." In brief, this is the comedy of a young man who on the eve of his marriage in a small Illinois town is called to Chicago by an extra- ordinary wire informing him that he is a father. He rushes away, and having a thoroughly unmodern affection and respect for the rights of a new-born infant, rescues his unexpected baby as it is about to be sent out for adoption. He tries nobly to nurse it and in the mean- while becomes innocently entangled in another love affair. Then he finds himself as bewildered as Don Juan with three women to choose from. He, of course, makes the happiest choice possible. The play is really one of the outstanding farces of recent years. 4 mm Want Ads Pay V I -- B3ob Carson's 1 - N ,, L Armory Every Saturday Nite Park Plan Everybody Welcome E Ore Iies ira at MICHIGAN LEAGUE BUILDING EVERY WEEK END HAWKS AND HIS ORCHESTRA CUTLER AND HIS ORCHESTRA AVAILABLE FOR HOUSE PARTIES Inquirc at the Parrot .

Musselwhite Eleanor Walkinshaw Dorothea Waterman Night Editor - WALTER WILDS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1929 SENSES OF MORAL VALUES Evidently there is some virtue in making decent conduct a matter of moral pride rather than of dis- cipline. The Daily has long ad- vanced this contention, especially with regard to student conduct, and we are pleased to see in the Senate committee's approval of Saturday night open dances a re- cognition by the University's ad- ministration that students are not wholly irresponsible, morally in- competent, and socially leprous. For the past two years it has been rather insultingly presupposed that on an emotional occasion like a football victory-night students are not in full possession of their senses of moral values. The over- whelming majority, normally cool- headed enough to drink and con- duct themselves like gentlemen on Friday night, have been tacitly ma- ligned as too weak to resist the conviviality of returning alumni and the urge to crown Michigan's gridiron prowess with unbecoming quantities of liquor. Of course this, opinion of the college student may I be correct. We doubt it, however, and we are grateful for the oppor- tunity of justifying our doubts to- nights. It is hardly to be expected that everything will go off like a Sunday school. picnic, but there is no rea- son why any of the dances should degenerate to that sordid and sog- gy condition that brought on the Saturday night ban two years ago.- An attitude of responsibility on theE part of a fraternity's leaders, plus the cooperation of the other mem- bers in discouraging rowdy guests, are all that is needed to produce a respectable and harmonious at- mosphere of wassail, women, and music. We hope that the warning of surveillance sounded by theI dean's office will have the proper salutary effect in stimulating this necessary attitude of responsibility. It might be remarked by way of conclusion that this year's round of , 10 Though the Ohio game has hard- ly transpired, empirically, plans arej already "on foot" for flying to Ur- bana next week end. We venture that the automobile regulation will be violently construed to preclude the use of airplanes for any but commuting purposes. . Class elections, though consum- ing the energies of a few heelers, by and large have little effect upon the general run of students. Minor- ity rule in this case has not re- sulted in an aristocracy, but in a futile gesture of power in controll- ing a will-'o-the-wisp.

TEST OF LOYALTY (From a letter printed in the Mich-I igander, the organ of the Univer- sity of Michigan Club of Detroit.) To the editor: . . . To support a winning team is a very simple matter, but to get behind a team that has met with some adversities is the real test of loyalty. Remember, every one of the remaining nine schools in the Conference is starting out with the same ambition and desire to win, and if at any time this year we should meet with defeat, it should be borne in mind that without a doubt the better team on that day has gone off the field victorious. It is at this stage when the ham- mer should be securely locked up and the cow-bells brought out loudly acclaiming our faith and support.... In order to have a successful con- test, it is necessary to have two sides. If perchance the winning one should be our opponents, bear in mind that they have every rea- son to expect the glory due them and every effort should be made to give them, whether they win or a lose, all the credit that is theirs. This, I believe, should also apply to the supporters of our visiting teams and if in any way we can show them that they are welcome, that we are glad to have them as, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN O)RATO ICAL-- ASSOCIATION I Wishes to Announce That There Are Some Very Good Seats Left for the LECTURE SERIE page, because the readers might have thought the make-up man got "SIGN X.
