George Cosper, '37, of Sigma Chi
fraternity was elected president of
the Interfraternity Council by a ma-
joritynvote in their annual election of
officers held last night. John Mann,
36, president of Trigon fraternity was
elected secretary-treasurer by the out-
going executive committee.
Members of the executive commit-
tee were aso elected from the five
districts into which all fraternities
are grouped. The following men were1
elected representatives of their dis-
tricts: (1) Francis Marcero, '37, of
Phi Sigma Kappa; (2) To be elected
later; (3) Charles Haynes, '37, of Phi
Kappa Psi; and (4) William Fleming,
'37, of Alpha Tau Omega. The repre-
sentative of district three, John Mann,
was later chosen secretary and his
name was perforce withdrawn as the
representative of his district.
Cosper, who has been a try-out for
the Interfraternity Council for the?
past two years, is from Detroit. The
other two nominees who were running
for the presidency were Mann and
Don Hillier, '37, of Delta Kappa Epsi-
lon fraternity. Cosper will succeed
George Williams, '36, and Mann will
succeed Paul Philips, '36.
Other business transacted at the
meeting in addition to the election
was a motion .which was passed to the
effect that the members of the execu-
tive committee will be required to visit
the districts they represent at least
four times a semester."
Article five, section II of the con-
stitution relative to eligibility rules
for initiation was amended. The
amendment did not change the mini-
mum of 11 hours and 14 honor points
required for initiation, but stated that
in the future those having more than
14 hours will have to have an equal
number of honor points. This sec-
tion formerly read that 14 honor
points were all that were required.
It was also decided that pledges
must have 11 hours and 14 honor
points in the first semester of pledge-
ship rather than the first semester
of residence. The meaning of this
change is that hours and honor points
gained in the summer session or a fall
session previous to pledgeship shall
not be construed as applying to elig-
ibility for initiation, Philips ex-
plained.
In the report of the publicity com-
mittee, favorable publicity in the fu-
ture for fraternity operations was dis-
cussed.
Approve Plans
For 50th Annual
Free Handbook'
Plans have been approved for the
publication of the 50th consecutive
annual Michigan Handbook, which
is compiled and distributed free to all
incoming freshmen, it was announced
last night at a meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the Student Christian
Association.
This handbook contains useful in-
formation on the various departments
and activities of the University, as
well 'as traditional lore which every
freshman is expected to know thor-
oughly.
The publication board will be made
up of William O. Warner, Grad.,
managing editor; Richard S. Clark,
'37, associate editor: Neil A. Ball,
'38, publication manager; and Owen
E. Woodruff, '38, business manager.
It is planned that this year's issuej
will be increased from 2,000 copies to
3,000 copies, the purpose being to ac-
comodate the second semester fresh-
men. Advertising soliciting is being
carried on under the direction of
Owen Woodruff. Any student or-
ganization desiring a change in its de-
partment should make arrangements
to see William Warner or Richard

States Stage's Basic Aim
Lost Sight Of In Desire
For Ultra-Realism
By ARNOLD S. DANIELS
Glamor, the glamor which pervadedI
the theatre in the time of such of
its immortals as Maude Adams and
John Drew, is what is needed to revive
the contemporary stage, in the opin-'
ion of Ernest Lawford, now playing
in the Dramatic Season presentation
of "Libel," and long an outstanding
actor on both the American and
English stage.
"There is no theatre today," is Mr.
Lawford's judgment of the modern
drama. The stage which today is
able to support such plays as "To-
bacco Road" and "Waiting For Lefty"
has, he said, lost sight of the basic
aims of the theatre, has become too
realistic and too close to the very facts
which theatre-goers wish to escape.
It is through the desire of playwrights
to use the stage as a social force
alone that the theatre has lost its
ability to hold the public interes, he
said, as it did in the earlier years of
the century.
The greatest difference between the
contemporary English and American
theatres, Mr. Lawford said, is the
fact that English producers common-
ly send a large number of road com-1
panies on tour, while in America
there are few road companies, and
have been no extended tours by any
company other than that made re-
cently by Miss Katherine Cornell.
In comparison, Mr. Lawford recalled
the days when Daniel Frohman had as
many as 18 companies on the road
at the same time. It was during this
period, which marked the high point
in the history of the American theatre,
that Mr. Lawford played Captain
Hook in "Peter Pan" with Maude
stock and repertory companies which
were once so numerous. What brought
on their downfall, he feels, was their
willingness to play hit-shows for long
periods, instead of following a sched-
ule of short runs which would have
developed in the public the "theatre
habit." There can be no doubt, he
added, that the movies helped bring
on the end of the stock and repertory
company, but he is convinced, never-
theless, that they could have survived
against any competition.
And with the stock company, he
said, has passed the best possible
training-school for young actors. His
own training in England, he remin-
isced, was obtained in doing Shake-
speare and the old comedies in stock
companies. Today, he said, the
younger generation of actors cannot
even wear the costumes for these pro-
ductions correctly.
In spite of the fact that the out-
look for the theatre is at present dark,
Mr. Lawford is optimistic. He feels
that the public needs the theatre and
that it will again come into its own.
At present, he finds that he must com-
fort himself with memories of the days
when he played tank-towns with
Maude Adams, and studied under the
idols of the London theatre of an-
other generation.

On First Day
Dr. Heller And Zwerdling
Elected Guiding Officers
For Campaign
More than $460 was collected last
night to start the seven day drive
of the Hillel Foundation at the gen-
eral organization meeting, which was
addressed by Fred Butzel, '97, of De-
troit.
The drive, which is for $3,000, is
part of a national campaign of the
United Palestine Appeal and the Joint
Distribution Committee to raise $3,-
500,000 each to aid Jewish refugees in
Europe and put a maximum number
of them on a self-supporting basis in
Palestine.
Dr. Bernard Heller and Osias Zwer-
dling were unanimously elected pres-
ident and treasurer of the drive, re-
spectively.
It was announced that both Mr.
Zwerdling and Dr. Heller had contrib-
uted $100. Other noteworthy con-
tributions included Dr. Rueben Kahn,
I Prof. Max Handman, Prof. Louis
Strauss, and S. G. Bothman, $50; Dr.
Raphael Isaacs, $25 and Thomas Cook,

I
Refuses To Discuss Them i
GRAND RAPIDS, May 20. - W) --
Michigan Democrats, in a pre-con- c
vention meeting here today, endorsed d
Sen. James Couzens, (Rep., Mich.), c
and five Democrats for the senatorial p
nomination on their ticket.
The Democrats endorsed included A
Former Governor William A. Com- .
stock and Frank Picard, former chair- f
man of the State Liquor Control Com- .
mission. There was no debate on the f
resolution endorsing the six.
The convention avoided a threat- r
ened storm by letting the sheets go a
and riding well ahead of it. Every-
thing that was postponed was ap-
proved. All comers were included
on the ticket endorsed for the con-
sideration of Democratic voters in
their primary election next Septem-
ber. The list included Couzens, and
five Democrats for United States Sep-
ator, four possible candidates for
governor, including George W. Welsh,
former Republican lieutenant gov-,
ernor and as many candidates for
lieutenant governor.
Murphy Supporters Fail
An attempt to stampede the con-
vention into a demonstration for
Frank Murphy, who was among the S
endorsees for governor, failed. Ad
half dozen young Democrats waved c
Murphy banners and blew horns, but d
they circled the room only once andn
sat down in silence. The name ofp
Senator Couzens was greeted with aC
short lived mixture of boos and
cheers. Former Governor William A. 1
Comstock, a party "walk out" was t
endorsed as one of the candidates for
United States Senator with somr
applause. Other names were received
and endorsed almost methodically.
What had been expected to be onef
of the most uproarious Democraticn
meetings in years flattened out intoh
stoical gathering which producedh
none of the expected fights overt
Welsh, Couzens or Comstock.
Not To Discuss Patronage f
Whether the presence in the city ofc
Postmaster General James A. Farleyf
and his statement that he will notr
attempt to dictate candidates in1
Michigan encouraged leaders tov
smooth the proceedings into a pat-I
tern as orderly as a routine Republi-
can convention was a question. Farleya
talked with many of them, but in-%
sisted he would not discuss patronagei
nor candidates. He declared "it is up
to Murphy and President Roosevelt"
as to whether the commissioner of the
Philippines decides to become a can-1
didate for governor.
Farley did not attend the pre-pri-
mary convention. At the time he was
addressing a convention of postmas-
ters in another building. He said he
believed the quiet convention would
be productive of harmony.1
Musicians' Union
Increases Rates
The Ann Arbor Local of the Ameri-
can Federation of Music has decided

son. Most of the orchestras playing.
for campus social events are members
of the Local.
Each man playing for a dance in
the League or Union will receive $2.25
an hour, an increase of 25 cents over
the present rate. Fraternities, soror-'
ties, dormitories and the Law Club
will be required to pay orchestra]
members $2.00 an hour for evening;
dances instead of $1.75, while hourly.
rates for tea dances and rushing
parties will be raised to $1.75 per
man.
Leaders will receive a fee of 75
cents for each man in the orchestra
on all evening contracts instead of
the present fee of 50 cents per man.

Promise Makes Revival Ofi
Tradition A Certainty; t
Date To Be June 2
Revival of Michigan's traditional
Swingout became a certainty yester-
day after all University honor so-t
cieties had agreed to maintain orderr
luring the ceremony, it was an-
nounced last night by William R.2
Dixon, '36, president of the Men'st
Council.
Swingout will be held June 2, con-
rary to a previous announcement
that it would be May 26. If rain pre-~
vents the ceremony on June 2, it will
be held June 4, Dixon said.
Although approved tentatively by
the Senate Committee on Student Af-
fairs Thursday, a stipulation that
necessitated the agreement of the
honor societies to maintain order was
included in the petition approved by
the Senate.
The postponement is expected toE
facilitate the arrangements of local
clothiers in obtaining caps and gowns
for both Swingout and Commence-
ment, eliminating a duplication order
by holding the ceremonies within two
weeks of each other, according to
Dixon.
Dixon said that orders for caps
and gowns must be made at least a
week previous to Swingout to be here
in time.
The following committee, all sen-
iors, in charge of Swingout will meet
at 5 p.m. today in Room 306, the
Union: Marjory Spaulding, Russell

bell, Sue Thomas, Margaret Hiscock,
