UGAN DAILY ^ti a7 N ., University, whether we realize it now or not. University support has always been accorded it. This part of the University needs operating ex- penses today more than ever and it is now receiv- ing such added support from the sum no longer needed by the Union. It should be mentioned also that life mem- bership in the Union for students who leave the University after four years has been in no wise affected by the changed allotments from the general funds of the University. Conclusions which may be drawn from these facts point in but one direction - we in the lit- erary college and other divisions of the University are paying fees each year for the operation of the whole institution, and consequently have no basis for a feeling that our money was paid for something of which we knew nothing. When the University used to itemize fees, it mentioned a sum for tuition, but did not say that so much would go to salaries, to building upkeep, supplies, or any of the other expenses that may be incurred. We felt then that our money was going where it was needed. and we should con- tintie to do so. THE MICHIGAN DAILY Screen Reflections I X ; M1IK.HLLW JNW .

Paul Muni Gerry .................Glenda Farrell Shammy ..................Ned Sparks This picture is not a dramatization of the old wheeze about a newspaper reporter who makes good in a stupendous scoop. It is the story of a managing editor with an unique quality known as integrity, an explosive temper, a grand sense of humor, and a fine news-nose; it is also about an editorial chair known as Nellie Nelson "Heart Throbs," which changes hands with astounding rapidity. In addition, it concerns a bit of repor- torial sleuthing that hangs together with sur- prising consistency; that is not incredible; that does not reach fruition for months, instead of popping in half-a-day and winning the pinkerton the title of miracle-man. It is, in fact, a picture without a single bad performance, and almost no flaws - the only real error being imperceptible, in all probability, to anyone who is unfamiliar with newspaper tac- tics: that is the absurd playing-down of a bank crash. It requires, however, a superb performance for an individual star to transcend a story as good as this one. Paul Muni does just that. He proves his versatility in remarkable fashion: his is the role of an editor who is shrewd, cantankerous, laughing, and ridiculous by turns, and he plays it to perfection. The outstanding thing about the picture is its complete coherence, and the fashion in which it clicks. There is nothing irrelevant. A love story is only suggested - neatly, and at the beginning, merely to tie up the two leads in some sort of close association - and that love interest is sour. But when the picture is ended, one is aware that not a single event is superfluous: everything that happens depends on everything that has previ- ously happened. This obviously speeds up the film to a high pace. Photography and sound are unusually good. Glenda Farrell and Ned Sparks are type-cast - which means they are good. In fact, almost the entire roster is type-cast. This is sometimes annoying to the players, but it usually insures a ir-tight performances. M ODIFICATION of the University regulations that pertain to stu- dents has been promised by a University Senate committee, appointed in 1932, and still holding hearings on the subject. There has grown up quite a body of law, ad- ministered by the faculty and having to do with students. While the rigidity of codified rules may in some cases work hardship, the plan has more to be said for than against it. Codified rules 'would enable students to grasp more easily the regulations of the University community which apply to them, which should minimize infrac- tions. A clear statement of the rules would also remove any possibility of favoritism in their ad- ministration. So it will behoove the senate committee to get to its work. SPORTS ASSISTANTS: Charles A.

NIGHT EDITOR: JOHN C. HEALEY Allocalion Of Stidenii F~ees ... W HEN you pay your fees to the Uni- versity twice each year you are do- ing exactly what this statement implies - paying them to the University as a whole rather than to individual units of it. This explanation has been deemed necessary because some uninformed, students have been heard murmuring that their fees were being paid and not going to the units for which they are supposedly intended. That, for instance, they pay a $10 Union membership fee that is not all reaching the coffers of that institution. Their error is mainly one of reasoning, in which they base conclusions on 'one fact instead of balancing them all. The actual facts of the situation are as follows: (1) There is not a statement in the University publications relative to fees which says that a certain amount shall go to one unit or another. There is merely a lump fee listed- as $50 a se- mester in the case of State students in the literary college. (2) The situation should be considered from the angle of whether or not the student is getting from the Union the full value. It cannot be ques- tioned that every member of the Union is getting more from the institution this year than ever before, rather than any less. (3) The University is a single unit, and should be recognized as such. It includes the Union, the League, the various boards of control, and now the Alumni Association. To regard it as a number of separate units that are functioning without relation is to contradict one of the out- standing policies of President Ruthven, which, in brief, is one of complete co-operaton between the various units of the University, a co-operation that amounts to harmonious functioning that can be achieved only through the working of a machine as one machine. (4) It is a sad state of affairs when students reach the point at which they almost accuse the University of "gypping" them. Enough faith should be maintained to allow us to feel sure that, whatever those in authority feel compelled to do, it is to the best interests of the students and the University. (5) In the past an allotment of $10 per male student has beeh made to the Union and this has been distributed in two parts, $5 for current 'op- erating expenses and $5 for the building's indebt- edness. This latter, insofar as it was owed to the State, was wiped out by the State Administrative Board last year, however, so the Board of Gov- - -- ----.--- CampusbOpnion Letters published in this column should not be con- strued as expressing the editorial opinion of The Ially.

WOMEN'S JUDICIARY COUNCIL OBJECTS TO DAILY'S REPORTING To the Editor: There are three complaints which we wish to register with The Daily. First, it has been re- ported to us that certain sophomores were called up and requested to voice an opinion in accord- ance with The Daily's prejudice rather than al- lowed to give an opinion of their own. Second, we object to the following passage which has no' authority but that of The Daily's imagination: we quote from the issue of April 4: "Under the new plan, members of the Judiciary Council will practically have the right to decide which can- didates for the positions may be voted upon, as they will receive applications and from them select those candidates which they think most fitted for the positions." As The Daily would know, if it had taken the trouble to discover, all appli- cants will be voted upon. Third, Miss Ruth Duhme was grossly misquoted; she intended to convey the belief that The Daily was silly, and not the proceedings of the Judiciary Council. Harriet Jennings Ruth Duhme B.M.O.C. BLUEBOOK To the Editor: We're praying that the worst is over. But we're fast losing hope. The campus has apparently gone B.M.O.C. conscious to such an extent as to cause the casual observer to doubt as to the sanity of the present-day college student (Michigan variety). The recent Godawful, nauseating, putrid, capi- talistic, anti-democratic publication (?) put out by Social Dictator Bursley and his yes-men strikes us as being the most asinine, immature, perverted -words fail us. The 'Average' student, observing it wtih a toler- ant air (such as one assumes towards infants, asylum inmates, etc.), turns slightly sick, and won- ders at the future of the present generation of Michigan students. Is the craze-permanent? Have our supposed campus leaders gone entirely mad? We only hope that no one hears of it outside of Ann Arbor. We wonder, for example, what the reaction of Michigan taxpayers towards this dis- play of moronic idiocy on the part of the students of this institution would be. We suggest that if such conditions continue to persist, the Lit School be changed to "High School of Literature, Science, Arts and B.M.O.C.'s." In fact, we're strongly considering transferring to Ann Arbor high school and an atmosphere of compara- tive maturity. An L.M.O.C. Musical Events VOICE GRADUATION RECITAL Margaret Swetnam's graduation recital went off with great success and much enjoyment on the part of those who heard her sing. Her program consisted of varying types of songs, beginning with the early Italian "Lungi dal caro bene", of Sarti, which by the way was a most felicitous opening number, and a Handel aria from Sosarme "Rendi'l sereno al ciglio." Miss Swetnam came to the fore in a more relaxed manner in the English air, My Lovely Celia", and in "Clavelitos", a gay linguisti- cally intricate Spanish song. Miss Swetnam brought her German group to a 'good climax with the Strauss "Zueignung." Her }French group was highly successful with the De- Jimmy Betty -J. W. P. AT THE WHITNEY "BIG TIME OR BUST" .......................Regis Toomey ........................Gloria Shea i "DANCING MAN" Diana ........................ Judith Allen Paul ...................... Reginald Denny' A two star rating for each of the films at the Whitney Theatre may surprise some readers after they have seen the films themselves. In explana- tion, it must be recognized that the shows there are not made for the student, that they are in an entirely different class from those shown uptown and therefore cannot be judged by the same standards. Regis Toomey is always trying to make "Big Time Or Bust" and at certain moments is in danger of losing the wife he loves. Gloria Shea is very pretty and shapely but sings terribly. On the whole the picture is slow-moving, and any students who venture into the wilds of North Main should bring pillows along to soften their irritated moments. Townspeople, workers, dime-store clerks however will find in the film plenty of excite- ment and relaxation after a hard day's work. For these movie-goers the picture will be swell en- tertainment. Reginald Denny, as the "Dancing Man," should go out and buy himself one of those flexible cor- sets we read about in the ads instead of contin- uing to use the one he wears now. Judith Allen, as the pretty debutante who believes that the murder in the film was not committed by her gigolo lover, exerts herself to the utmost in an effort to raise the entertainment value of the film to its two star level. When this second feature comes on the screen, it is appropriate for the au- dience to shift wads of gum to the other cheek, but be careful not to swallow until the final cli- max. This film is surprisingly well set, with good photography, direction that seldom lags, and ac- ting which, with the exception of Mr. Denny, is quite adequate and lively. -- J.G.S Collegiate Observer By BUD BERNARD One of the freshmen at Ohio State University was bearing up rather nobly under a particularly weary R.O.T.C. drill when he inadvertently passed by the captain without saluting. "Say, Buddy," said the captain, with character- istic sweetness, "do you see the uniform I'm wear- ing" "Yeh," said the rookie looking enviously at the captain's almost immaculate uniform, "and look at the damn thing they gave me!" A remarkable collection of old whisky bottles is now on display at Duke University. They should be especially interesting to a generation that has always seen its whisky in ordinary fruit jars or flasks; but after all, they are only bottles. Add this to your list of definitions: Disap- pointment is the reaction of a girl who sent for a book called, "What Every Bride Should Know" and got a cook book. -West Point Pointer At a recent debate held in a small western col- lege the subject was, "Are Mice More Beneficial Than Old Maids." * * * After one of the recent daily "Bull Sessions" between the faculty and students held at the Union every day at 4:30 the sneaker. who I I -.Ca u r ~ ." s ,.V 14 -LSV ... !
