SUNDAY, MAN. 17, 137 T HE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGETHIA a PAGE T1U~E~ Gilbert Foregoes Babs Ballad' To Do 'Yeoman Of The Guard' Authors Of Next Offering By Play Production Had Stormy Partnership By ELSIE ROXBOROUGH "Screws may twist and racks may turn, And men may bleed and men may burn, O'er London tow'r and its golden board, I keep my silent watch and ward ." Thus run Gilbert's merry lines to Sullivan's music, marking the first time, that he stayed away from the "Babs Ballads." in "The Yeomen of the Guard," the joint Play Produc- tion and School of Music presenta- tion, Jan. 20-24, at the Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre. Gilbert and Sullivan were a Ben Hecht-Charles MacArthur sort of team. Gilbert, the son of a striving novelist, and Sullivan, the pride and heir of a cultured Irish musician, obviously carried on their parental traditions. Gilbert gave vent to his desire to write in some excellent comic verse which he contributed to Henry J. Byron's "Fun" Magazine, accompa- nied by cartoons of his own drawing. In 1869, these hilarious verses were collected under the title of "Bab's Ballads," the name derived from his childhood nickname. Unite To Collaborate More than a year after Gilbert had met the musician whom he admired, they united to collaborate for a piece for D'Oyly Carte. The first three opuses were hardly far removed from the "Bab's Ballads" and it remained for their "Yoeman of the Guard" to show any signs of elaboration. Their parrnership was stormy, for Gilbert was often truculent and caus- tic while Sullivan was broadminded, free of affectation and popular. They] quarreled incessantly, and finally at- tempted a breech of partnership en- tircly when Gilbert resented the petty price of a carpet purchased for the D'Oyly Carte Theatre while he was in India. Their enmity was short-lived, however., Sullivan Khighted First A sensitive man, his later years were made- bitter because Sullivan was knighted while he was complete- ly ignored. In due time, he, too, was to have the honor of a "Sir" before his name, but even then he accepted the knighthood grumbling because it had been conferred upon him as a "playwright" rather than a "dra- matist." Sullivan died normally of bron- chitis and heart-trouble at the age of 59. It remained for Gilbert to die quite abnormally at the age of 74 while attenpting to rescue a young swimmer at Grim's Dyke, where he had retired. Foster Outlines Mexiean Problems (Continued from Page 1) new spirit of confidence in the good neighbor policy of President Roose- velt has been engendered by the con- gress. The process by which President Cardenas asserted himself in his of- fice in spite of his earlier connection with the powerful Calles, iron man of Mexico, was outlined by Dr. Foster. "President Cardenas who is generally= conceded to be honest, though often9 dubbed as crazy, took his job seriously and proceeded to execute his obliga- tions as he understood them. His program, called the six-year plan, in- volves equitable distribution of the land, better wages for workers, uni- versal education, an adequate trans- portation system and a generalr health program" he concluded. r Pollock Lauds Report On Civil Service Plans Expert Director, Advised By Board, Is Proposed By Committee (Continued from Page 1) service board was voiced by Profes- sor Pollock. "This departure from past admin- istrative practice in the federal civil service system is entirely justified," he said. "Perhaps I may be pardoned a ref- erence to the procedure recommend- ed for the selection of the expert civil service administrator who is to administer federal personnel matters under the President," he continued. "Seven months ago when the Michi- gan proposal was presented, we em- bodied a similar provision in it for the selection of the State Personnel Director. The federal proposal now follows our lead in that respect." Professor Pollock was chairman of the Michigan Civil Service Studies Commission set up by former Gov. Frank Fitzgerald. "I have nothing but commendation for the recommendation concerning increase of salaries," Professor Pol- lock said, "The same applies to the extension of the classified service 'up- ward, outward and downward'," he added. "Nothing could more quickly and properly rescue our federal service from many present abuses and dan- gers than the prompt enactment of every recommendation made by the President's Committee in that part of its report dealing with personnel management," Professor Pollock said. "The President is to be con- gratulated for having the courage and the intelligence to put the recom- mendations on the way to enact- ment," he said. DAILYOFFICIAL.

The competition is a collaborative one in architecture, mural painting, and sculpture, and entries are in three parts, an architect's plan of the subject of the problem, a photo- graph of a sculptural piece connected with it and a scale drawing of a mural painting connected.

Barnes, '37A, mural painter, and Harry Bethke, Grad., sculptor, entered the competition as one of the Michigan teams. Their work was done under the supervision of Pro- fessors Ralph W. Hammett and Jean P. Slusser of the College of Archi- tecture, and Professor Avard Fair- banks of the department of fine arts. The second team was composed of Robert F. Mah, '37A, architect, Kath- erine M. Hoffman, Grad., mural painter, and Harry R. Furst, '40A, sculptor. Their work was superviser by Prof. Jean Hebrard and Alexander M. Valerio of the College of Architec- ture, and Professor Fairbanks. The two entries will be judged in competition with over 100 other works submitted from all of the lead- ing universities of the country. The prize of $200 was won two years ago by a team from Michigan. I- Jan. 19, from 1:30 to 3:00 and from 1 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. Rome Academy Contest Draws Hillel Foundation today.
