Complete coverage of campus, lo-C

is one of the leading features of theI
modern Daily. Daily subscribers read

The University students who make
The Daily possible are divided into.
three staffs: the editorial, sports and
women's staff. Ambitious second-
semester freshmen and sophomores
may start their Dail'y careers as
"edit"staff tryouts. Their work as
tryouts consists in covering beats,
writing editorials and spending one
night a week on night desk writing
headlines and reading proof.
After completion of the sophomore
year, a tryout is eligible for one of the
12 positions as a junior night editor.
From the junior group six senior
editors are selected.
Many students have learned to
shoulder respon iblity better and
make difficult decisions indepen-
cently through their experience as
junior night editors. News judgment,
knowledge of make-up technique and
ability to cope with unforseen devel-
opments are all required of the night
editor.
Members of this year's junior staff
of The Daily are Gloria Nishon, Rob-

Ginsberg.
While operating under the same
system of advancement, the sports
staff and women's staff are com-
pletely separate units. Coverage of
university sports events is handled
by the sports staff under the direc-
tion of the sports editor, Hal Wilson,
'42, and his assistant, Art Hill, '42.
The women's staff is headed by Janet
Hiatt, '42, women's editor, and her
assistant Grace Miller, '42.
The Daily takes great pride in the
record of its alumni who have given
it the reputation as one of the best
developers of good journalists. Many
former Daily "men" are serving
throughout the world as representa-
'ives of the three great press asso-
ciations and writers for metropolitan
newspapers.

did not start with the war. "For two
years prior to the war, the situation
was sufficient to absorb practically
all the graduates," Dean Crawford
observed.
Usually February is the big month
for placements in the engineering
cilege, but January brought the rush
this last year, all the industries being
interested in getting the men they
wanted while still available.
Logically ehough, enrollment in the
engineering college will not be greatly
affected by the draft, there even be-
ing a slight increase in freshpman en-f
rollment figures. Largest of the
many under-graduate engineeringI
departments is the mechanical sec-
tion, while graduate chemical en-'
gineers outnumber the other gradu-
ate departments.

grossed more than $800,000 with a
net profit of almost $150,000, and
played before almost a half million
persons.,
Until 1912 the Union presented
the Operas. Then Mimes of the Uni-
versity of Michigan was organized
and thereafter the productions were
under its auspices. Earl Moore, now
director of the School of Music, and
three of his U-M cronies, Matt Blish,
Homer Heath and Phil Fletcher were
the charter members.
Today the potent force in the at-
tempt to revive the operas is Mimes,
now composed of about 50 ;men who

have been active in the two past re-I
vivals.
The first five productions, "Michi-#
genda," "Culture," "Koanzaland,"
"Crimson Chest," and "Awakened
Ramesbs" played only to Ann Arbor
audiences. The 1912 and '13 shows
were invited to play before the Chi-
cago alumni.
That was the start of the annual
opera trips which reached their cli-
max in 1923's production of "Cotton
Stockings." This show had in its itin-
erary Toledo, New York, Philadel-
phia, Washington, Pittsburgh, Cin-
cinnati, Indianapolis; Chicago, Sagi-
naw, Grand Rapids, Flint, Bay City
and Detroit. The cast lived the en-
tire two-week Christmas vacation in
a special railway train which carried
all props and costumes.
"Cotton Stockings" grossed almost
$100,000, played before 40,000 per-
sons and set the record of income for
an amateur production at the Met-
ropolitan Opera House in New York
of nearly $6,000 for one performance.
'Many of the Michigan songs
which the students sing today are
products of past operas. "College
Days" is from "Koanzaland," "When
Night Falls Dear" was written for
"Mithigenda," "The Friars Song"
for "Contrarie Mary" and "Tres
Rouge" of 1916 introduced "Men of
the Maize and Blue."
