"There's Always Juliet," starring
Violet Heming and Lester- Vail,
opened this year's Dramatic Festi-]
val before a capacity audience last
night in the Lydia Mendelssohn
theatre.
For the lighting of this play a
special spotlight has been arranged
by Stewart Chaney, scenic designer
for the Dramatic Season. This light
has just been developed by Ray-
mrond Sovey, noted New York scene
designer, who has given Chaney
special permission to use it here.
The color of the light is called
"surprise pink,' but is in reality a
cold steel lavender-blue. On the
stage it looks like a white light, but,
because of the peculiar composition
of the gelatin used, has a soft hue

Concludes Activities
for Year.
The 1931-32 Freshman Luncheon
club, founded this year by Dean
Joseph A. Bursley in an attempt to
establish closer relationships among
men of the entering classes, will
conclude its year's activities with
a dinner at 6:30 o'clock tonight atl
Chubbs.
Dean Bursley, besides being its
founder, sponsored and advised the
group throughout the year. Credit
also is given to this year's seniors
who discussed the idea with Dean
Bursley and recommended men of
the entering class to be invited to
join.
The club was divided into two
;coups, one meeting on Tuesday
noon and the other on Thursday at
the Union. The club was enter-
tained by musicians and speakers
who were well-known about the
campus.
Members of the club stated that 1
they had considered it a most suc-
cessfiul and active group and that
they had attained many friend-
ships among men of their class
which would have been impossible
if they had not belonged to the
club. They voted unanimously that

WASHINGTON, My 23.---(/) -
Prominent Republicans are endeav-
oring to shape a moist plank which
would conserve the party's dry sup-
port, but so far they have run up
against opposition from dry organi-
zation leaders who have beecn Coni-
su~ted,
this was disclosed today as the
llouse defeated another eOfort to
legalize and tax 2.75 per cent beer
and as two prohibition organiza-
tions principals clashed over wheth-
er Franklin D. Roosevelt was really
wet at heart or a repealer for po-'
litical gain only.
Coincident with the revelation
that one of the many Republican
planks being considered would op-
pose repeal but permit low imodifi-
cation of the existing laws, Dr. Ed-
win C. Dinwiddie, secretary of the
National Prohibition board of strat-
egy, said he had been consulted by
many Republicans but had turned
a deaf ear to all suggestions.
"We are against any extra-con-
stitutional method of making repeal
o f the .Eighteenth Amendment
easy," Dr. Dinwiddic said. "We've
got our orders from our people and
we will oppose any opposition that
would be letting down on enforce-
ment."
All Republican plank proposals
considered thus far have been ten-
tative. Rep. Snell, of New York,
the House leader who is in line for
permanent chairman of the nation-
al convention, predicted today the
platform would contain a liberal
plank on prohibition, but no one
could tell what the details woul be-

Body Is Outlined
in New Plan.
AWAITS REGENTS
Lower House Would Be
Elected; Ruthven
to Pick Other.
Strenuous efforts toward more
effective student government were
made last night by the Student
Council when a plan was adopted
by that body which provides that
jurisdiction over student conduct
and activities will be vested in a
legislative body consisting of an
upper and a lower house.
The plan, drawn up by Edward
J. McCormick, '32, president of
the council, Harry Benjamin, '32,
Louis Columbo, '33, and James
North, '32, has been approved by
President Ruthven. It has now to
receive the approval of the Univer-
sity Council and the Board of Re-
gents.I
The lower house would be similar

to the present council, according' to
the plan. It would consist of not
more than 16 male voting members
elected by the student body at large
at the regular campus poll to be
held during the third week of the
second semester.
Twelve Undergraduates.
Twelve members of this group
would be undergraduates, six of
whom would be elected to office
each year. Graduate and profes-
sional schools, heretofore without
representation, would have two
members in the lower house.
The upper house, if the Regents
ratify the plan, will consist of eight
members, four of whom will be
chosen from the faculty and the
other four from the student body.
All members of the upper house
would be appointed by the president
of the University, and would be lia-
ble to removal from office by him.
-All laws, regulations, and rules of
conduct enacted by the lower house,
as they pertain to the student body,
would become effective as soon as
they were passed by upper house,
according to the plan. The upper
house would also have the power
to initiate legislation. In order'to
Ie more effective, however, the plan
provides that legislation must ,re-
ceive the approval of the lower
house, or if rejected by that body,
it must be passed by a vote of six
members of the upper house and
approved by the president of the
University.
Regulation of all student activi-
{s would come under the jurisdic-
tion of these two bodies, according
to McCormick, who declared last
night that "no other university' in
the country enjoys such a great de-
;ree of student government as this
Iplan would provide."

The Ann Arbor Board of Review
in an unofficial meeting Sunday;
morning decided to reduce the
assessed valuation of all Ann Arbor
real estate 25 per cent. The change
will lower the total assessment
from $53,000,000 to $40,000,000.
Inasmuch as the city's budgeta
already has been set, the change
in valuation will have no effect
upon local funds, but it will aid
materially in reducing the share'
which Ann Arbor taxpayers will
contribute toward the county and
state revenue.
At the last meeting 'of the city
council, the aldermen adopted a
resolution recommending that the
supervisors reduce valuations by 15
per cent. The larger reduction was
explained ' by the fact that assess-
ments have been rising slowly each
year in response to increased needs,
faster than actual property values
have risen.
