E FFORTS to inject party issues into1 the non-partisan mayoralty race in Detroit have apparently failed. The candidacy of Harry H. Mead on an "official" Democratic "ticket" and the attempts to form a "Detroit1 Tammany" have gone off into oblivion. The reason for the failure of the Mead plan has been the refusal of many of the city's leading Democrats to support Mead. Detroit papers, not- ably the Republican Free Press, have pointed to this as indicating a split in the Democratic party in southern Michigan. In the contrary,, there has1 been no split. The Detroit election i supposed to be non-partisan. Certain men have attempted to take advantage of the present Democratic senti- rment for their own profit. They have not repre- sented the party but have stolen the Jacksonian copyright. The very fact that the city's leading Democrats have refused to support his candidacy proves that the party has not been involved. If the city of Detroit is to continue under its non-partisan system of government, which has the advantage that it does not confuse local is- sues with national, such moves as the abortive Mead-Democratic "coup" must be avoided.'

AT THE ,MICHIGAN ***("PENTHOUSE" Jackson Durant.............Warner Baxter Gertie Waxted.............. .Myrna Loy Layton...............charles Butterworth Tom Siddall................ Phillips Holmes Sue Leonard..............Martha Sleeper Tony Gazotti.................Nat Pendleton Jim Crelliman...........C. Henry Gordon Arthur Somers Roche's "Penthouse" concerns the life of Jackson Durant, lawyer, who turns from? society to take the cases of the city bad men. This clever story contains quick, good direction, and touches of character that are sincere. Jackson Durant gets thrown out of his law firm by his two elderly partners because of his asso- ciation with Tony Gazotti (very well done by Nat Pendelton) and to walk it off he goes to his sweet- heart's country home for a rest, only to find Sue Leonard occupied with another, Tom Siddall, and a little cold to his kind and true excuses for not being out sooner. Jackson returns to Tony and, like all good men, drinks to forget. In the mean- time Tom and Eue (Martha Sleeper who plays this part looks a bit like Holmes himself) becomes en- evidence points to Tom but Jackson steps in to take matters into his own hands. Things begin to happen and Durant employs the best friend of Mimi Montague, Gertie Waxtd (done excellently by Myrna Loy) in solving the frame-up on Tom Saddall. Gertie (these names )proves herself a real girl and without her assistance Durant would have had a hard time beating the gangsters at their own game. The direction of the play is far above aver- age (a gangster movie without a single scream in it is quite an accomplishment now-a-days), and Boche's plot-extrordinaire makes it an interesting sight all the way through. The play was cast with great skill as the actors fitted into their roles without any difficulty. Warner Baxter is at his best; maybe he should stick to the gang stuff, and with Myrna Loy, make an excellent teammate, Myrna Loy (either you like her or you can stand her) is usually in the quiet, reserved part but here she is enthusiastic and different. Charles Butter- worth, has the part of Layton, Jackson Durant's valet, and his humor is as good as ever. The re- mainder of the cast does its part in rounding out this well balanced movie. Nat Pendleton is de- serving of praise in his characterization of Tony Gazotti. Best shot; Charles Butterworth after being kissed by Myrna Loy. An amusing cartoon "Wake Up The Gypse In Me", in which Rasputin (Rice-puddin in the car- toon and Paul Whitnen are characterized, a short subject featuring 4 dance orchestra and Hanna Williams, and the Paramount News reel lead up to the feature "Penthouse."

THE HUMAN COST OF RUSHING. In a Fraternal organization composed of Uni- versity students and led by upperclassmen, one should expect to see an example of good taste in the rushing of prospective brothers. We shall describe a dinner served to rushees in one fratern- ity, and the reader may draw his own conclusions. The guests were conducted into the dinning room where two very long tables were set up. In the center of each long table was placed a large pile of fruit: grapes, bananas, apples, pears, and so forth-all decorated with green vines. The first course consisted of a generous bowl of bean soup with crackers. In almost any of the homes from which these boys came, that soup alone would have constituted at least a fourth of the total cost of the meal; but, apparently, boys can live better when they get away from hople. There were generous salads of lettuce, ground celery and salad dressing; there were delicious rolls and bread with plenty of butter. When I had eaten the soup, the large salad, and some rolls and butter, I was already reaching the point where one knows that if he eats much more, he will later feel uncomfortable. But whas that enough? Not by a long ways. They were in fact just getting started. What next? We were now confronted with a formidable, but attractive plate heaped full of 'delicious food; meat, potato, gravy, pineapple stained red in cheery juice, bread, dressing and asparagus.i What a feast! I enjoyed the plate for a while, but alas, the bean soup, the large salad, and the bread andI butter I had eaten, had largely satisfied me. There was no sense in eating more than I needed or wanted just for thecsake of saving it, so at last I gave up. There was coffee and milk; there were such luxuries as oli.ves and pickles. Alas, here I was, a healthy being, no longer hungry, but sur- rounded with food. *Much food was left on the plates. Many knew when they had had enough. Others bravely clear- ed up the plate, but just as a cross country run- ner who has started too fast comes in lagging at the end of the race, so did these men finish their plate. As I said before, much was wasted. Then came the desert. Here is what was brought out: a large helping of ice cream, sprink- led with almonds and cherries, and perched on top of the cream like a dunce cap was an ice cream cone! What a treat for the frosh that was! To me there was a strange feeling that somehow those cones brought in at the climax of an ex- pensive dinner were the symbol of something - the symbol of a real dunce cap worn by real dunces in real life. Here are freshmen in college. Few of them are wealthy. They all 'want friendship. Some of them want to join a college fraternity. The purpose of a fraternity theoretically is to promote friendship and comradeship among fellows of like interests A fraternity should be the home of a group of congenial men. Here are the members. They are not, in gen- eral, rich. They, want to keep their organization alive; but they cannot afford a wasteful standard of living. Yet in order to get men they drag the frosh into theirnden, feed them twice as much as they need, give 'em sales talk and turn 'em loose. What artificallity; how crude it is! Can they be - the upper classmen as well as the frosh - so blind as to believe as that friendships are cemented by feasts and hot air? Can it be that they all forget the price that someone must pay for such feasts? Two elderly women cooks each worked about two hours not counting their time taken for eating. Tables had to be set, food served and removed, dishes and pans washed. This cost does not include the cost of the twenty-odd distinct and separate grocery items eaten or thrown away - the lettuce wasted, the cones dis- carded. Everything has a price, but does no one realize it? Was it worth its cost? I do not know. Is this method of rushing a sensible way to attract friendship, or is it a way of developing that thoughtful considerattion for the rights of others arnd thait recow'nition of social responsibility which Hopwood Poetry Annenaire Persov's WHATEVER YOU REAP, HARRIET SHELLEY A REVIEW - By PROF. ENRICH A. WALTER IN THE FIRST of the sonnets on Harriet Shelly Miss Persov recalls the character of Shelley's first wife; her jealousy and pride at being forgot- ten and shoved aside for the brilliant and attrac- tive Mary Godwin. iker anger and self-pity grad- ually are overcome by the stronger desire to re- gain Shelly's love for herself. The sonnet ends by establishing a reconciliation which, however, we immediately feel is unfortunately only temporary. In the second sonnet, Harriet's loneliness and de- spair drive her again into a final mood of des- perate hope for Shelley's return. When she at last realizes that all her hopes are futile, she tries to accept her fate, but cannot throw off her mel- ncholy; she drowns herself. There is a learge measure of interest and en- joyment in reading these companion poems for their description of the successive moods which led Harriet Shelly to her death, but there is even a larger measure of appreciation possible if one reads the poems for their wider application. "Sometimes she lay rehearsing all the thing she would say when he returned." and "Sometimes she lay and listened the night through for soft familiar steps - - - " These lines present the universal experience of clinging to a vain hope, an impossible realiza- tion. The inevitable conclusion of hopeless wish- ish - a state of sheer desperation- - is perfect- ly expressed by the two beautifully simple lines. "So hungering still for life, and hungering still for her remembered love, she went away." They recall Ophelia's "poison of deep grief." As one recognizes the deeper significance of the two sonnets, it is apropos to remind the reader of Shelley's definition: "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth." This definition applies even more completely to "Whatever You Reap." The poem does not ad- monish that "Whatsovever a man soweth, that shall he reap." No, that is not the point. "And if you reap barley, you will sow barley, you will grow barley, Again and again." No matter what admonition you may or you may not follow, life, in its unchanging cycle, will continue. This notion whether one interprets it for oneself as a divine law, eternal monotony, or eternal hope, is again, as in the first poem, an ex- pression of eternal truth. Comparisons may be what they are said to be; but it will not hurt Persov's poem to quote six lines from Shelley's "Hellas": What Has Thought To do with time, or place, or circumstance? Wouldst thou behold the Future - ask and have! y Knock and it shall be opened -look, and lo! The coming age is shadowed on the Past As on a glass." Editor's Note - Whatever You Reap and Har- riet Shelley were printed in this space in Sun- day's issue of The Daily. Other poetry written for the Hopwood contests will be presented each Sunday, with reviews the following Tuesday. Collegiate Observer By Bud Bernard At Fordham University it appears that the fac- ulty are appointed by name. Father Deane is dean, a Father Whalen acts as dean of discipline, Mr. Shouten is in charge of debating and finally a Mr. Voekal (pronounced vocal) is in charge of the glee club. Inasmuch as a great many marriages at the University of Utah have resulted from the fact that men and women study in proximity at the library, the president of the University has ruled that one-half of the library must be occupied by men while the women confine themselves to the other half. According to reports the library, since the pass- ing of this rule, has shown a decided decline in the number of students studing there. Because of their general discharge of all rules and because of "their general attitude toward upperclassmen," the freshman at Washington College are deprived for the year of the privileges of studing in the library from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and of having any kind of date from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. University of Missouri officials have barred one =instructor and 90 students from classes until they paid for past meals at the Uni- versity hospital. While grading papers from a history examina- tion, a professor at Oklahoma University came across one on which there was no name. He checked the paper very carefully and gave it the grade ,of B. While he was putting the grades in his role book he found out that there was one too many papers. After a thinking session he remem- bered that he himself had prepared one of the papers. He declared to the class, "If any one here makes an A on these papers he's a better man than I am." Several in the class did.
