DAILY'S "FACTS" IN EDITORIAL WRONG To The Editor - The statements regarding the three alumni of the University in your editorial, "Old Michigan, Mother of Men" which appeared Nov. 30, were very unfortunate and suggest the desirability of a little care in checking doubtful sources of infor- mation. The records in the case are all easily available. . According to the editorial Dr. William J. Mayo, '83M, of the Mayo Clinic, "we understand got the sack from the Medical School," while Stewart Ed- ward White, '95, and Franklin P. Adams (F.P.A.), "were booted in their freshman years." Reference to the Alumni Catalogue and the records of the Registrar's Office will show how absurdly wrong these statements were. Dr. Mayo is listed in the Alumni Catalogue as a graduate of the medical class of 1883 and refer- ence to the annual catalogue for the year '95-'96 shows his name as included with that class. Stew- art Edward White was graduated with the class of 1895, and his name is so listed in the con- temporary records. Franklin P. Adams, however, was only enrolled in the University for two se- mesters. He entered college in 1899 and received credit for his first semester's work; financial diffi- culties, however, necessitated his withdrawal in May, 1900. Inquiry among certain members of the faculty who knew him well while he was here will be ample evidence of that fact. Moreover, there is no record of any disciplinary action on the part of the faculty. Despite his relatively short career at the University Frank Adams has always been very proud of his connection with the University. The esteem in which the University has held these three men is evidenced by the fact that Dr. Mayo holds two honorary degrees from the University, an A.M. in 1900 and a Sc.D. in 1908; White received the honorary degree of A.M. in 1903; and Adams an A.M. in 1914. In view of these facts we can dismiss as naive, to say the least, the charge of "indelicacy" on the part of certain officers who were responsible for the selection of these names as among the out- standing alumni of the University. Quite another direction also might be suggested for that "long boney editorial finger." Perhaps it is best to say nothing of the "soft but distinct hiss." The circumstances suggest an apology to those three distinguished alumni of the University. -Wilfred B. Shaw, Director of Alumni Relations. Editor's Note - Mr. Shaw's statements are quite true. The Daily regrets its egregious mistake. of health and that an unhealthy skin is occasion- ally due to some internal derangement. Thus it becomes apparent that the hygiene of the skin deals with all the factors important in maintaining physical well-being, such as moderate physical exercise, a proper amount of sleep, fresh air, sunlight, a nutritious diet, the control of con- stipation, and the drinking of generous amounts of water to aid in the elimination of toxic prod- ucts from the body. The local hygiene of the skin resolves itself in frequent bathing. Where the skin, especially of the face, is excessively oily, it should be washed morning and night with hot water and a good soap. A satisfactory soap is one which does not contain an excess of free alkali. Soap is a good cleanser and little more can be expected of it. The majority of expensive soaps differ from those of fair price either in the incorporation of a supe- rior quality of scent or of a small amount of med- ication. The period of application of a soap is ordinarily so short that little therapeutic value can be expected from the average medicated soap. Where the complexion is oily, face creams should be used sparingly if at all. As the skin is nourished solely from its underlying blood supply, it appears obvious that the so-called "tissue building" creams have no real place among toilet accessories. It is impossible to nourish the skin through external applications. The frequency with which the scalp should be shampooed is an individual matter. In the case of the healthy scalp, usually once a week for men and once in two weeks for women is a good average. Where the scalp is excessively oily or scaly, it should be shampooed more frequently. Care should be taken that the soap is thoroughly rinsed out and that the scalp and hair are then thoroughly dried. The brush and comb should be kept scrupulously clean. As they occasionally prove a means of spreading diseases of the scalp, the practice of using other people's combs and brushes should be discouraged. Daily brushing of the scalp is advisable. This not only stimulates the scalp, helps keep it clean, but also makes the hair smooth and glossy. Frequent massage stim- ulates the circulation and is an aid in keeping the scalp supple. The use of fine combs and the prac- tice of combing out dandruff should be discouraged. The daily wetting of the hair to facilitate combing is inadvisable insofar as it removes the normal supply of oil and makes the hair dry and brittle. That this procedure "rots the roots" is obviously without grounds and belongs to that group of superstitions to which the story that the hair is a hollow tube, the end of which should be singed to prevent loss of nutrition, is also a member. Musical Events ALTHOUGH "ZOO IN BUDAPEST," the Art Cinema League's latest of- ring, was rated highly in The Daily - perhaps o highly - the fact still remains that it is not e kind of show which the League should, or is pected to present here. It was a re-run in the st place, having been shown at the Butterfield- ntrolled Michigan last summer, but in addition, d more importantly, it did not have the ele- mts of true "art," with either a capital or lower se A. It should be stressed that there is no market the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre for shows of e stamp of "Zoo in Budapest." You can see 200- d of the best of the ordinary shows here during e year. But you cannot see "art." And that is :at the Art Cinemha League is supposed to show the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Last year the Cinema League made an enviable cord on campus for a first-year organization. uis year, too, an auspicious start was made th "Le Million," a racy French musicomedy, ich was "art" with the small a, and with "Be ine Tonight," featuring the singing of the Polish aor, Jan Kiepura, who is "Art" with the cap- l A. We urge the Art Cinema League to present a ried program, including many foreign pictures, ssibly two French, two German, and two Rus- n, if, in the concensus of the Executive Board, is is a fair representation of the best Conti- ntal films of the hour. Maybe somebody who should have known better is meddling with the Cinema League's choosing len "Zoo in Budapest," with Ham Gene Ray- nd, and wistful but un-arty Loretta Young, was ought here. The meddling member or members the Executive Board should pause and think of e name of their organization - Art Cinema !ague - before they select again. Emphatically, there is a place in Ann Arbor for Art Cinema League. There is no place for an ganization which specializes in second-run oos in Budapest." ransportation acketeering ..

He most ably brings attention to the problem of the many alternatives in relation to the question of war and points out how complex the matter of peace really is. But I disagree with the formula that Professor Slosson has. True, it is his personal one and it' may suit him; but he ignores what I think to be one of the most important factors in war and peace - propoganda. Propoganda is always a great tool of government in war time. Through its use in a country, war can be abso- lutely justified in the minds of citizens. In the World War the Allies supposedly fought to save the world from German militarism. In addition to this the United States was supposedly also making the world safe for Democracy. Germany fought to save the Fatherland from the aggression of the Allied forces. In the eyes of the respective nationalities each was fighting for the just cause and the other was wrong. When war was imminent Professor Slosson would oppose it unless he expected "the total benefits to humanity from participation to out- weigh its numerous, great, and certain evils." This is all very well, but is a person capable of de- ciding such a question impartially when a gov- ernment propoganda bureau is circulating most convincing evidence that the war will be of abso- lute benefit to humanity? When a war is already in progress Professor Slosson would support his government unless he believed "that the victory of the enemy would be better for humanity." Would he have such a belief in the face of a barrage of patriotic war propoganda? An illustration of the situation involved was cited by Fenner Brockway when he spoke here about two weeks ago. Immediately preceding the the World War the labor parties of England were unitedly against war and went so far as to state that they would not defend their country in case of a war. When the war came only a negligible number refused to fight; war propoganda had its dynamic affect. Perhaps Professor Slosson would be one of the few exceptions but I doubt if he would be able to resist social pressure only because of a personal opinion. Truth Seeker Student Health CINCINNATI CONCERT IN REVIEW The basis of judgment of last night's concert must be, perforce on its own merits, and not by comparison with any other symphony concert, namely, with the Boston Symphony, the only other symphony concert of this season so far. For the orchestra is of an entirely dissimilar type, a small, up-and-coming city orchestra; the program was of an altogether dissimilar make-up, though it con- tained a Brahms symphony as did the Boston. The result was enjoyment of an unlike nature, not intense, or serious, as the enjoyment of the Boston concert. Therefore, on its own merits the concert last night had its appeal for the audience, with the program made up in the main of easily assimilated music. The Berlioz overture to "Beatrice and Ben- edict" was done with Berlioz, the orchestrator, in mind, for all the orchestral effects and tonal con- trast was nicely brought out, unextravagant, and different from the well-known Berlioz as they were. It had the necessary "delicacy of execution" which Berlioz stipulated. The Brahms Third Symphony was conducted with great meticulousness: every phrase carefully enunciated, each melody fastidiously picked out. The unity of the various choirs was a pleasure to hear, the woodwinds, the horns, doing finely co- ordinated work. The tonal characteristic, then, was precision; in fact, the total effect was of precision with sufficient nuance to keep it alive and moving. The first three movements in partic- ular, were clearly handled, in keeping with the "subtle suggestion of romanticism," with dignity and reserve. The performance decidedly pleased the small but appreciative audience. The Dukas number "Le Peri," with its reminis- cences of the "Sorcerer's Apprentice," was suc- cessfully done, with well-worked out glimmer and glitter, to carry through the wonders of the Per- sian fairy-tale. The "overcoats and galoshes" number kept the audience thoroughly entertained; for this one, a Roumanian Rhapsody of George Enesco was full of diverting rhythm and singable melodies. One could imagine oneself sitting in a beer garden watching a group of gayly-costumed dancers going through the routines of a Slavic dance. To complete the enjoyment of the concert, pro- gram notes were supplied, giving the background of the works and suggestions as to the type of music to be expected. -Saly Place. -'Jul i i N I 0 R DEC. 15 P I C T U R E Y S S I MOTH ER'S B IRTHRDAY?
