FOUR TH, E MICHIGAN DAILY THE MICHIGAN DAILY Senate Committee would remain much as it is today, but this group of faculty members in touch with student opinion could not fail to be more in- clined to favor a suggestion from a Council the members of which have shown themselves to be trustworthy and capable of attaining positions of importance on the campus, than by a Council elected on a basis of shady campus politics. The University Council will meet May 8 to de- cide the fate of these two proposed reorganiza- tions. If the faculty body rejects both plans or, adopts the first one the situation will remain the same and the problem of obtaining an effective form of student government at Michigan will be handed down to future generations of students. If, on the other hand, the University Council rat- ifies the plan of government by recognized campus leaders, it may be that next year the Student Council will become a power instead of a joke on the campus. There may be faults in the plan that are as yet undiscovered, but nothing could be less ef- fective than the present plan of student govern- ment. We urge the University Council to consider thoroughly before they turn down the second plan as just another silly idea.

SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1933 Cap Night's Crisis. . HE QUESTION "Is Cap Night, or a similar freshman function, to con- tinue?" will probably be answered once for all during Spring Homecoming when the 1933 ver- sion of Cap Night-"Freshman Night"-will be given its trial. There will be no bonfire, no burn- ing of caps, and, it may be expected, not the former enthusiasm. Whether the sponsors of this year's "Freshman Night" have done a wise thing in eliminating the most spectacular event on the annual program is most certainly debatable. Nothing remains now except the presentation of the M-blankets, a speech or two by "campus leaders" and the Var- sity Band. It can be safely said that the first two named have but little popular appeal, while the band may or may not draw an acceptable crowd by itself. Inevitably, and we believe wisely, "Freshman Night" will prove a mere adjunct to Lantern Night. Cap Night has always centered about a bonfire. Through the "tradition's" waning years the blazing pyre was retained, but this year's shift seems a tacit admission of the futility of the whole business. Stud fnt Government The Final Whisper .*. * W ITH the spring all-campus elections almost due it is time to raise a final whisper in favor of the Student Council reorgani- zation plans about which so much was heard two months ago but which now seem to have disap- peared forever into the red tape of the University Council. One plan, presented by the leading campus poli- ticians, was for a bi-partisan house with a lower house elected under much the same system now in use and with an upper house practically the same as the present Senate Committee on Student Af- fairs which has Uhe veto power on all Student Council measures. The faults in this plan are obvious. It would in no way remedythe present situation. The mem- bers of the lower house would be elected, as they are now, because they have a fraternity brother who is a potent campus politician, or because they have done a favor for the president of the coun- cil. Once having attained the position of coun- cilman they would still be content to rest on their laurels and take things easy. As today, the position of president of the council would be a political are chiefly: low spear grass, meadow fescue, panic grass, canary grass and velvet grass. Weeds-The plant families to which the various species of weeds known to cause hay fever belong may be divided into two groups: Group I. Of primary importance. The Ragweed family The Thistle family. Group II Of secondary importance. The Pigweed family The Goosefoot family The Plantain family The Buckwheat family. The Hemp family Fortunately few species of weeds adequately satisfy the requirements of each of the five pos- tulates, One cannot discuss the subject of hay fever without mentioning the relation to other groups of symptoms, which heretofore have appeared not to be related to each other. at all. The two prin- cipal members of this group are asthma and hay fever. One also must add to this list urticaria (hives), Vaso-motor rhinitis (or perennial hay fever), angioneurotic edema (intermittent swell- ing), some forms of dermatitis (eczema), someI forms of gastro-intestinal upsets, migraine (sick headache) and some other conditions. All these different groups of symptoms are aspects (cycles) of the same phenomenon of sensitization known as human hypersensitiveness. We know there is a sequence of events. We claim that this pheno- menon of sensitization is progressive, growing worse and worse. (Concluded in Sunday's Issue) -Health Service.

EDITOR GILBRETH LECTURES ON COMMUNISM-AH THERE, EDITOR To the Editor: The editorial in the May 4th edition of the Daily on May 1st demonstrations is characterized by a sweet naivete which would have been touch- ing in a child, but which is repulsive in a person who has not been officially certified to be feeble'- minded. Either the man is atrociously ignorant or downright mendacious in view of the well known facts. Mr. Gilbreth, do you know of one single May Day demonstration in which communists got to- gether . and threw bricks through the mayor's window? When have communists advocated ter- rorism and Nihilism? Do you not know that the Community Party immediately expels from its ranks any member who advocates such methods? Why don't you read the Communist Manifesto and learn that mass action is the only weapon em- ployed by the communists? The only riots are those conducted by the officers of the law, the police. Detroit and New York newspapers admit that this year the largest May Day demonstrations ever witnessed in America were held. This con- tradicts the statement of the decline of radicalism made by you. The New York Times states that there were at least three times as many in the Communist demonsteration as in the Socialist demonstration. This again contradicts your state- ment that the Socialists are taking over the ter- ritory occupied by the communists. You say that the people of the United States are growing tired of the Nihilists. Sure, but what has that to do with the Communists. We sug- gest that Mr. Gilbreth find out the difference be- tween Communists, Socialists, Anarchists, and Ni- hilists instead of using these terms indiscrimi- nately in one senseless jumble. You mention that EVEN laborers are growing intolerant of radical- ism. This conviction obviously rests on the fact that Mr. Gilbreth reads only his own newspaper, the Daily. For how otherwise can one explain his total disregard of the columns and columns of newspaper space given to those spontaneous MASS uprisings where workers and farmers throughout the United States are "taking the law into their own hands." May we point out that the Detroit Leader was an official Socialist paper and that its closing down was, therefore, NOT "another evidence of the declining interest of the public of the policies of the more violent reds" as you stated. On the contrary this merely demonstrates that the So- cialists are losing ground withthe working class, NOT the communists. You haven't seen the clos- ing down of the Michigan Worker, the Commu- nist paper. On the contrary, its circulation is in- creasing daily. Now how about the B.E.P. example of "the red agitators being thrown out of camp by the SIN- CERE members of the "army.' May we remind Mr. Gilbreth, that Waters, the SINCERE leader of the B.E.F. is at the present moment wintering in Florida on the money he raked off from the B.E.F. escapade, whilst his guilless followers are back in their Hoovervilles. The SINCERE Mr. Waters is all for the "new deal" and says that a bonus march is no longer necessary. This, lnind you, in face of the half billion cut of the veteran's budget by Roosevelt. Meanwhile these bad red agitators are organizing a new bonus march from the ranks 'of those very people whom the SIN- CERE Mr. Waters betrayed. Even Norman Thomas would blush at the label "peaceful reformist" that you give him. You haven't even caught up with the Socialists who in words at least, have long ago thrown over the policy of peaceful reform. In words only, of course. To conclude on a hopeful note, perhaps after you graduate and join the ranks of the 18,000,000 unemployed, you will give Communism and Com- munists a little more careful study, and come to more logical conclusions. -Lilya Sagal.

AT THE MICHIGAN "A LADY'S PROFESSION" *AMUSING COMEDY OF AMATEUR RACKETEERS The lady's profession, in this case, is that of a dabbler in rackets. Alison Skipworth, who looks and acts a great deal like Marie Dressler, is the lady. The story begins when a fine old English fam- ily, consisting of Alison Skipworth, Roland Young who plays the part of her brother, and Sari Marit- za, who takes the role of his daughter, goes broke and comes over to America to recoup its fortunes. Roland Young gets mixed up, inevitably, with the bootlegging racket and Alison Skipworth has to step in and straighten things out. In the meantime Sari has fallen in love with a rich American's son and everything comes out all right. The story, however, is inconsequential. There is a great deal to enjoy in this picture for those who like Roland Young's bland idiocy and deft mannerisms. Alison Skipworth roars about in a thoroughly imposing manner. This is the first, or nearly the first, picture in which Sari Maritza, whose pictures you have undoubtedly seen in the Sunday supplements, appears in Ann Arbor. She plays the part of a nice young girl in this picture and does it very well. This is, on the whole, quite an amusing picture. -B.
