Scheduled To

Comstock To Be Feted At
Gala Opening Of 'With
Colors Flying'
With the initial performance sched-
uled for one week from today, re-
hearsals and ticket sales for the Union
Opera, "With Banners Flying," will go
into their final stages this week. Six
performances of the Opera will be
given, April 24 to 28 inclusive.
In honor of Gov. William A. Com-
stock and Mrs. Comstock, who will be
special guests at the Wednesday night
show, ,the evening will be designated
as Governor's Night, according to an
announcement. In accepting the in-
vitation to attend, Governor Comstock
told of his pleasure on seeing that,
the Union Opera will again be pro-
duced after its four-year lapse.
"These affairs have been so well-
done so many times," he said, "that
they have stimulated widespread and
favorable interest - not only in stu-
dent activities but in the University
as well.
"It is, therefore, good news to me
to learn that this year's production is
to be one of the best ever, and I look
forward to the enjoyment of seeing it
with keen anticipation."
Tickets are selling rapidly, accord-
ing to Allan McCombs, '35, ticket
chairman, and the regular reserved
seats are now on sale by all members
of the student staff of the Union, at
the Union desk, the League, Slater's,
and Wahr's. They may still be ob-
tained for any of the six perform-
ances and in any one of the three
price classes, 55 cents, 88 cents, and
$1.10.
In respect to those special groups
that have reserved blocks of seats,
McCombs said they must be settled
for by tomorrow night or will be re-
turned to the general sale. This ap-
plies to fraternities, sororities, and
similar groups contemplating atten-
dance in a body.
Sale of reserved seats will continue
at the Union through Thursday, after
which the box office will be trans-
ferred to the Whitney Theatre, where
the Opera will be given.
There are still a few openings in the
orchestra which will play for the
production, and students wishing to
apply for these vacancies will report
at 4 p.m. today in the musical events
room of the Union. Six violins, viola,
cello, string bass, piano, drum "and
tympani, french horn, trumpet, trom-
bone, clarinet, oboe, and flute players
may still sign up for the orchestra
at this time.

YIHiTOR'S NQ'TE: This is the fifth

By J)OROTIIY GIES
A ecat nunber of names zioted in
the world of journalism -editors,
feature writers, and foreign corre-
spondents - are those of University
graduates, Many of them began their
careers with work on campus pub-
lications.
Franklin Pierce Adams, '03, fa-
miliar to a world of readers as
"F.P.A." is one of the best known
columnists in America today. He has
been associated with the Chicago
Journal, the New York Evening Mail
and the New York Tribune. He is the
originator of the "Conning Tower,"
famous column of the New York
World. In 1909 Adams collaborated
with O. Henry in writing a musical
comedy, "Lo." He is also the author
of several books.

Michigan Co-Eds
Return To Campus
DazzingyArrayed
There seems to be only one reason
why the Michigan co-ed goes home
for vacation and that is so she can
return to campus to dazzle all be-
holders with an array of new and
wonderful clothes. Yesterday the
aforementioned co-ed was in her ele-
ment making dramatic entrances into
her classes in the newest of new spring
bonnets and causing havoc among the
mascu'line contingent by appearing on
campus in all the glory of the most
glorious of new spring suits.
According to all reports from the
fashion front (in other words, from
under the clock in Angell Hall) color
has come into its own with a ven-
geance. The most prominent color
for the new spring suit seems to be
chartreuse. We have seen it com-
bined with brown blouses and acces-
sories and one stunning costume com-
bined ,a brilliant yellow suit with the
same dark brown accents.
Another fashion which seems to
have swept the campus off its feet
is the broad-brimmed straw hat. No
longer is such a hat restricted to
garden parties or bridesmaids cos-
tumes, it makes its appearance on
campus with the sportiest of sports
costumes.
And when we say brimmed we don't
refer to a conservative sailor or a
slouched felt but to a brim which
actually waves and flutters in the
breeze. Those we have seen have been
for the most part of very shiny straw
and have been fashioned with the
brim dipping slightly over the right
eye.
Others of the same type are the

Last year he was able to direct the
reporting of the even greater Fair
as managing editor.
Another wcll-known figure in the
newspaper field is Willis J. Abbott,
'84, cditor of the Christian Science
Monitor. He has served as foreign
correspondent for various American
publications, and in that capacity has
interviewed many famous men, in-
cluding Mussolini and Lord Cecil. Ab-
bott was decorated by the govern-
ments of Greece and Rumania for
his work.
Griffith Ogden Ellis. '93L, had a
sick nephew who wanted to read
something written especially for boys.
The result was the American Boy
Magazine, which first appeared in
1899. Ellis has acted as president and
editor-in-chief since its inception.
Pulitzer Prize Winners

nalists who are Michigan alumni in-
clude Edgar Ansel Mowrer and Paul
Scott Mowrer, both of whom have
received Pulitzer prizes for their work,
Henry Montgomery, managing edi-
tor of the Detroit Times, and Jabin
Hsu, '14, former member of The
Daily staff and now a journalist of
note in China. Mr. Hsu represented
Chinese newspapers at the World
Press Conference in1921.

writer of short-stories and essays.
In college he won Phi Beta Kappa.
He has spent much of his life in the
west and in Mexico, and has written
40 volumes of fiction, history, and
travel.

which do their best to give the exotic
Oriental touch to the simplest sports

Dark blue is popular as ever for
spring, one of the smartest coats we
saw being trimmed with fox dyed the
same deep blue. Another very charm-

with a long blue woolen coat com-
pleting the suit. The coat had lapels
and lining of the print.

A deputation of 18 foreign students
from the University visited Mount
Pleasant as guests of the Central
State Teachers' College for two and

cluded an international dinner Wed-
nesday evening, followed by an open
forum, at Which the Un'iversity stu-
dents appeared in their native cos-
tumes and spoke briefly upon the
reasons for their choice of an Amer-
ican university for the pursuance of
advanced work in education. The
program also included a visit to the
Indian - School in Mount Pleasant,
and this proved to be particularly in-
teresting to the deputation, the ma-
jority of whom had never seen, let
alone contacted, an American Indian,
During the visit, members of the
delegation visited classes in which
they were interested, plans having
been maade previously for Wprtain ones
of them to speak.
Present Program
The deputation presented a pro-
gram Friday at the school, at which
