If their venture does not open up new commercial possibilities or prove scientific theories, it does not matter: the only aspect of the flight that interests most persons is that two men have successfully culmin- ated a dangerous and thrilling flight around a world that is daily becoming more homogeneous through just such means as time- destroying flights and personal con- tacts. In the swift parade of the day's events, let us give them full credit. COMPULSORY LEARNING The present economic situation is clearly reflected in the altered per- sonnel of this summer's student body. Even a casual glance indi- cates that the average age of this year's student is lower; on the whole the more recent graduates predominate. Significantly, too, yesterday's registration total set a new record for the University Ses- sion. Even a superficial analysis offers an explanation for the increase, omitting any references to the im- proved facilities of the University. Graduates unable to find positions have returned to take advantage of the opportunity to further their knowledge, realizing that by doing so they will lose nothing and have everything to gain. Some of them, having spent a fruitless year in search of employment, have wisely chosen to take refuge in school un- til the depression storm blows over. Very few will miss the chance business opportunities that arise from time to time, and all of them will find themselves better qualified to enter the vocational field when their added training period is over. It is one of the few beneficial changes wrought by semi-chaotic circumstances: that today's student is forced to extend his period of learning and development. Campus Opinion Contributors are asked to be brief, confining themselves to less than 800 words f possible. Anonymous com- munications will be disregarded. The names of communicants will, however, be regarded rs confidential, upon re- quest. Letters published should not be construed as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily. (Editor's note: This is the sec- ond and concluding half of Profes- sor Pawlowski-s communication re- garding Professor Pollock's Uni- versity lecture, "The Sore Spot of Europe-The Polish Corridor," giv- en Monday in Natural Science aud- itorium). For racial or ethnographic con- sideration I can refer Professor Pol- lock'' to Putzger's Historical Atlas, a standard German text book (pub- lished by Velhagen and Klasing, Leipzig) used in practically all Ger- man schools and colleges. There the maps show that Poles and Sla- vonic peoples have occupied not only the "Corridor" of today but also vast territories to the west of the river Oder, and that Eastern Prussia was always a German en- clave separated in the West from the remaining provinces by Polish territory. Throughout centuries this enclave was a fief of Poland. It is worth while knowing that under German rule in all the 15 elections to the Imperial Reichstag, between 1871 and 1918, the "Corri- dor" province returned only Polish deputies. Not once was a German elected. Furthermore, Professor Pollock failed to mention, in connection with the touching story about the occasional cow passing a border line, that most frequently it is a cow belonging to a Polish farmer, since the majority of the popula- tion of Eastern Prussia still is Po- lish. Regarding the question of trans- port between East Prussia and the Reich, I could refer Professor Pol- lock to the exact Reports of the German Ministry of Foreign Af- fairs and the Administration of German railroads in Koenigsberg, stating officially that Poland is go- ing beyond the stipulations of the Treaty of Versailles, assuring tran- sit and expressing satisfaction at the working of the transit arrange- ments. Finally, regarding legal consider- ations and provisions of the Cov- enant of the League of Nations for occasional revisions and readjust- ments of the ,stipulations of the Treaty of Versailles, it should be borne in mind that five years after the ratification of the Versailles Treaty Germany of her own accord signed the Locarno Agreements (December 1925) which include the arbitrationConvention with Po- land. In addition to this (over a period of eight years) Germany. signed and ratified no less than 144 different agreements and conven- tions with Poland. Books of a reconciliatory charac- ter are now written and published by Germans counteracting the jin- goist propaganda and appealing to the good judgment of the German people. The former president of Danzig Senate was not promoted to the mayorship of Berlin, he was kicked out by the Danzigers who were sick and tired of Hitlerites and other jingoists invading Danzig and stirring up trouble with Po- land. From all this everybody can read- ily observe that the two great neighboring peoples are trying to work out peacefully their common destinies. Still in 1919, Erzberger wrote: "Even to a blind man, Germany's future lies in Russia." But Poland stands in the way. "Crush Poland," say jingoists. But it cannot be done. They have tried it for a thousand years and have failed. It was the continuous sabotage of Polish goods passing through Danzig that forced the Poles to build the Gdynia Harbor. The Polish "Corridor" is not a new invention. I could refer Pro- fessor Pollock to a dozen similar "corridors" of which four are right here in this country. It is obvious, therefore, that there exists numer- ous international arrangements of the "corridor" type, and that they function to the satisfaction of ev- erybody concerned. The Polish "Corridor" is not "a European Sore Spot," although it might be a sore spot in the mind of the German jingoist politicians, for which the whole of Germany certainly can not be blamed. It is the now-evident dawning of a reconciliation between Germany and Poland that should be recorded and broadcast by students of poli- tics, rather than the occasional "big noise" made by political wind- bags. OASTED LL WARM WEATHER PROPHESIED The Rolls Three-Speed - In - Re- verse-With-A-Pink-Lace-Trimming Weather Forecaster was dragged out of its hole today and found to indicate warm weather on its way to Ann Arbor before very long. Needless to say it was put back into its hole with all possble speed where it will remain until further notice. Rumor indicates that more than six hundred people have died of the heat in the past few days. This isn't half enough. I personally won't be satisfied un- til all the people that infest bathing beaches when I want to swim on them have been eliminated. And then, think of what a really good heat-wave would do for the unemployment situation. The Rolls Recommendation Bur- eau is now once again in full swing and opens the season by not rec- commending that you register until something happens to the weather. In point of fact, the more you don't register, classify, and in general fool around with that collection in dear old U. hall, the better off you are, and that's no fact. s* ** Why, we have just been in- formed of the sad case of a fine young fellow who went inno- cently to that den of torturers with nothing more vicious in his mind than the paying of his registration fee, and before he'd been in the building five minutes they had him slaving away over a blank card five ells long and twice that many ells wide (10) which, after fill- ing out all the sections which say for women only at the end after you have filled them out already and all of them look the same and you have to write your Ann Arbor Address out so often that you get to won- dering whether it wouldn't be easier to live in the office and then they'd know where you were all the time he went crazy and they tore the blank up and told him to come back againdand register on account of the office was goin to close now because it was time to quit besause they'd succeeded in driving someone crazy that day, and wouldn't he come back and play again sometime and he said no and ran away screaming and that fellow was me. So you can see that it is a very fine educational system we have here. My personal opinion is that if they succeed only in teaching you to keep away from registration offices in the future,-and God knows they should succeed at that, -they have fitted you for life in the great world better than any other educational institution or state university in the world. *0* * Educational Institution. . * * * FURTHER NOTICE It may be remembered that a little while ago we put the Rolls Forecaster away until now. If you don't remember, you'd better go back and look it up. You will find out all about it in the first para- grapjh of today's sunshine column. Anyway, we've dragged it out again and are now on our way to throw it bodily and solely into Whitmore Lake where it may rot. * * * POEM GOODIE! Look! The sun is shining. Down upon us sunbeams fall. That will kill a lot more people. It's a fine world after all. t *s 0 And now, children, the ENtire Rolls staff is off to have a nice cool- ing and refreshing drink, and if the column isn't full, you can blame it on the seductive ways of drug stores. This is all today from- Music & Drama THE MICHIGAN REPERTORY PLAYERS For the benefit of new-comers, the Michigan Repertory Players is the rather too pompous name for a group of students who are directed by Mr. Windt and other guest di- rectors in a series of plays offered for the entertainment of those at- tending the Summer Session at a price only a few cents above that charged at the local movie houses. Principally, the group consists of those students who became suffi- ciently absorbed in their work with Play Production during the regu- lar school year to be willing to work hard through the summer. In ad- dition, there are students from other colleges who have been at- tracted to Michigan for the sum- mer by the quality of direction they can expect and the quality of the plays that are produced here. All of which means that the members of the Michigan Repertory Players are eager students of dramatic production. For the past two summers, their work under the direction of Mr. Windt and Chester Wallace of the Carnegie School of Drama has been the principal source of valuable en- tertainment during the school ses- sion. The idea of a summer season has made steady advance until this year there has been announced a list of plays very clearly more ambitious and more consistently worthwhile than either of previous two lists. And in addition there will be two distinguished directors this year. The first is Thomas Wood Stevens who long ago estab- lished himself as one of the forces in university drama by founding and directing for ten years the Car- negie Drama School. Mr. Stevens has been recently director of the Goodman Theatre in Chicago the one liberal, experimental theatre. The other director will be M. Jean Mercier of the Cornish School in Seattle. M. Mercier came to the United States two years ago from the famous Theatre du Vieux Col- ombier Paris and has been secured for theproduction of Marivaux 's "Love and Chance"-one of the masterpieces of French comedy. The other plays of the season are Moliere's "Don Juan in a special adaptation by Mr. Stevens; Ferenc Molnar's lovely fantasy Lilom; Susan Glaspel's Alison's House, this year's Pulitzer prize winner; Som- erset Maugham's The Circle, the very well-known comedy of man- ners; and finally I Confess, a sat- irical extravaganza on the confes- sion story racket by William Myron and Thomas Wood Stevens, which will be givenits first performance here preparatory to its Broadway production next fall. PHILIP BARRY AND "PARIS BOUND" Formerly a talented student of the Harvard Workshop where he won the big prize in 1922 with his well-known "You and I," Philip Barry has been offering the Broad- way stage a significant success nearly every year since. Last year's "Hotel Univers", which was staged by the Theatre Guild and is gen- erally considered one of the most inclusive efforts made by an Ameri- can dramatist in a long time. This year Barry's play is "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" a play that has enjoyed a long, quiet run and was prom- inently mentioned for the Pulitzer Play. Ann Arbor knows Barry primarily through his "Holiday" with which the Michigan Repertory Players opened last summer season so de- lightfully, "Paris Bound" was the predecessor to "Holiday." In it, Barry brought to bear his sharp, though apparently casual, critical spirit on the sanctity of the mar- riage vow for physical honesty. In it, Barry revealed a real comic gift. While giving full play to the shrewd wit and marvelous nonsensical pat- ter his civilized people are capable of, he goes very deeply into the val- ues that arise out of the union of a man and a woman. The story opens just after a young couple have been married. They are bouy- ant and hopeful and confident in their decision, though somewhat subdued by the spectacle of the mess the bridegroom's parents have made of their lives. Six years later they are shown happy, a delightful and solid relationship having been established. This relationship is threatened by the wife's suspicion that on one occasion during those six years her husband had been physically unfaithful to her. This situation precipitates some very charming, very sane, very graceful thinking and a splendid denoue- I RAGGEDY ANN BEAUTY SHOP Shampoo . . . . . 50c (soft water) Finger Wave . . 75c Dial 7561 1115 South University CARTTER'S I 1 M 0 R K E A A C ,~ TD I I BRIGHT SPOT 802 Packard Street TODAY, 11:30 to 1:30 HAM SANDWICH WITH BAKED BEANS, COLD SLAW OR POTATO SALAD WITH COLD MEATS FRUIT DESSERT COFFEE, MILK 30c 5:30 to 7:30 ROAST BEEF, YORKSHIRE PUDDING MEAT LOAF, TOMATO SAUCE PORK CHOPS, JELLY ROAST LEG OF LAMB, MINT JELLY MASHED OR AU GRATIN POTATOES VEGETABLE SALAD OR PEAS 35c 11 i Michigan TODAY Adolph Menjou in.

'"HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?" How many times during the past week has that question been asked? Ordinarily the phrase is pleasant: it suggests summer, recreation, and the thousand attendant joys of the warm season: but after ten days of one of the worst heat waves the country has ever experienced, the salutation, is to say the least, ex- tremely objectionable. Aside from its hackneyed qualities, its use is an insult to human intelligence. In view of these facts The Daily is considering the creation of a fund for the extermination of in- dividuals whose greeting-no mat- ter what the temperature-is al- ways, "Is it hot enough for you?" When the fund has reached ade- quate proportions, any person over- heard making the remark will be quietly lead away and incapaci- tated by some slow and painful I
