THE MICHIGAN DAILY Daily Paces Collegiate Papers As Editorial Staff Wins Awards -------- -- _r 42 Union Opera Takes Shape - 0 - Adler To Open SRA Lecture (Continued from Page 1) finds good fellowship and makes many new friends. Complete coverage of campus, lo-C cal, national and international news is one of the leading features of theI modern Daily. Daily subscribers read Associated Press wire news and re-f ceive the product of a modern pub-1 lishing plant built with profits made by The Daily. 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- Technic To Publish Anniversary Issue F ert Mantho, William Baker, George Sallade, Eugene Mandeberg, Will Sapp, Homer Swander, Morton Mintz, William MacLeod, Dan Behrman, Howard Fenstemaker, Charles That- -hcr. Barbara Jenswold and Edmund 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. Defense Boom IDrains Supply~i Of Engineers (Continued from Page 1) 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.

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 I 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." r 1 0 I!- ---- -------- -III 1 SUPPLIES FOR * * *t i ALL, DEPARTMENTS Serving Michigan Men and Women for over fifty years.
