matters are discussed. It is hoped that as a result
of these meetings on readjustments in public edu-
cation, it will be possible to arrive at proper solu-

faced by educators, in addition to the many re-
trenchments which have already been made in the

UMMER SCHOOL students are
.soon to be provided an opportunity
to support a wonderful:Michigan institution.
-Next Tuesday, more 1than 100 children will be
yn'the streets of Ann Arbor and on the University
a ripus to solicit funds -for the -University Fresh
4Air Camp.
This camp, operated each summer for under-
privileged children of Ann Arbor and Detroit, is
6upported by funds raised among the students 'of
:the University. The children who will seek tag'
buyers on Tuesday are among those who have en-
joyed the benefits of that camp this summer. For
'three weeks these children are allowed to forget
$the tenement district in which they live and are
given a chance to learn to swim, are taught na-
ture lore and woodcraft, and are fed properly.
fThe camp, located -at Lake :Patterson, about
' seven miles from Pinkfley, includes scores of acres
of fields and woods. It possesses a beach. Much
of the equipment there has been donated by per-
sons who believe in the camp and the noble pur-
j pose for which it exists. The ,camp is -known as
the University of Michigan Fresh Air Camp and'is
supported largely by contributions made each year
by students of the University.
- }During the past academic year 'the students of
the regular session, as before, donated heartily to
the.fund which was to support the camp for the,
summer of 1933.
But these are difficult times. Students have not
been able to spare the samegenerous amount -as in
ft e past. The fund is smaller than .it has been in
previous 'years. And yet there are more children
lh 'ire need of the benefits which the 'two-week
stay i the open affords.
So now the time has 'come for the students of
the summer Session to supplement the fund with
any amounts Which can possibly be contributed to
further the advantages of the camp.
The youngsters who will 'be selling tags next
Tuesday will have -nearly completed their eigh-
teen-day stay at the camp. They will be asking for
funds in order that other children will be given a
similar opportunity.
Buy your tag Tuesday. Not in order that you
Will -be marked as an individual who has "kicked-
in with a nickel, or a 'dime, or a dollar--but in
order that some under-nourished, under-privileged,
under-fed child in the city can "get away from it
all" for a short time and really learn how to live.

THE "BIG BOSS" in Washington, I
through his orders to government
relief agencies to co-operate for speedy action
throughout the country, has finally started the
wheels moving again.
Elaborate plans for getting the unemployed
back to work are now under way. Furthermore,
Uhey are to be guaranteed higher wages. Steps'
have been taken to\feed those who are unable to
Jind jobs. The burden of the home owner will be
lightened. The farmer is to be aided, the consumer
protected, and the situation, in general, is to be
brought around to a normal level.
The President has made his last study of a pub-
lic works program which will give jobs to thou-
sands. The industrial leaders have laid plans for
hearings on work-spreading. Major industries are
co-operating on the fixing of standard wages. Na-
tional relief agencies are lending aid to the va-
rious states in caring for the local unemployed;
the home loan board has pushed its organization
into many states
The public roads bureau has stuied the allot-
ments to the states for highway: construction. Fed-
eral money is being advanced to aid in this work.
Minimum wages and maximum hours for steel
workers may be set as a result of action by the
industrial administration. Textile mills have al-
ready taken such steps as to produce a scarcity of
labor in that field. Children under a certain age
are not employed in these plants and a minimum
wage has been set along with shorter working
hours.
In general, conditions in the United States arej
improving. In many respects they have already
improved. And they will continue to improve. With
nation-wide co-operation and public confidence,
wonders can be accomplished. The foregoing facts
bear this out and future results will continue to
do so.

resenting Harlequin, Mezetin Boccale, The Stupid
Doctor, Pilichinelle, Scarnamouche, Flautin, Gilotin,
Spanish Captain, Columbine, Pierrot. One very'
interesting plate represents a painting by Paul
Porbus (1572), one of the oldest and most im-
portant iconographic documents existent concern-
ing the commedia dell' arte in France. It repre-
sents a troupe of comedians playing with person-
ages of'the court. These larger prints in the down-
stairs lobby are particularly valuable in that they
show the traditional costumes to the minutest de-
tail.
Upstairs are a series of etchings by the French
engraver Jacques Callot (1592-1635). Callot was a
famous and popular engraver in his time,
and his drawings of commedia dell' arte
characters are widely noted. A great deal that we
know about market-place theatres has come from
the minute backgrounds of the Callot drawings.
Though small, they are so finely execu'ted thatI
an enlargement clearly shows what the construc-
tion and effects of the .traditional market-place
stage of the commedia was like. Some of the Cal-
lot drawings in this exhibit show the buildings
erected for seventeenth century court paganets.
The Michigan Repertory Players' exhibit does
not include any of the work of Watteau, who was
fond of the Italian comedy characters and whose
treatment; of them is the most famous. Perhaps
the only index most of us have to the commedia
del' arte is through the paintings by Watteau.
The production by the Players of "The Servant
of Two Masters" will bring to life a romantic
and artificial past-a past which for the most
part is now confined to the collections of old etch-
ings like the present exhibit. It will be interesting
to see the old characters strut about the stage
once more.

ANOTHER COMMENT ON
SERGEANT WEST'S APPOINTMENT
To The Editor:
The attack made in the Campus Comment col-
umn July 13 on Clifford E. West, newly-appointed
sergeant on the police force seemed to me to be
quite unwarranted, and based on the biased opin-
ion of "A Former Student" who couldn't take it.
It should by no means be construed as the con-
census of student opinion. Those who know Ser-
geant West intimately think quite differently.
Contrary to the impression given off in that
letter, Sergeant West is an amiable fellow, not an
ogre who delights in throwing innocent children
in jail. He is one of the most popular men on the
Ann Arbor police force and is ideally suited for the
position to which he was recently appointed. He
"gets on" with students, and on many occasions
he has gone out of his way to do things for
them. To illustrate this let me relate an incident
which occurred only <a short time ago.
One of the unpopular proprietors of a popular
campus restaurant got into a row with one of his
student employees. He called in the then City De-
tective West and in a fit of temper accused the
boy of attempting to take goods from the place.
West took the boy out in his car and talked
the matter over with him. He found that the case
.against him was very weak, that it was based on
mnere suspicion only. Realizing that an injustice
was being done, and realizing what an arrest
would mean to the boy, he talked the matter over
+with former Chief of Police O'Brien and obtained
his release. One would think this were enough. But
not so.
Talking to the boy later, West said, "As long as
you are sure in your own mind that you were in-
nocent, you have nothing to worry abdut."
The boy replied, "That doesn't bother me. But
I've lost a board job and may not be able to re-
turn to school next fall."
To which West answered, "Listen, kid; when the
students .start rolling in here next fall come
around to me and I'll see to it'that fou get a job..
-In fact a better one. I'm pretty well known around
here.".
This is a side of Sergeant West that "A Former
Student" failed to reveal. Students may rest as-
sured that no mistake was made in West's recent
appointment.
-A Student.

Coming on top of the African picture at the
Majestic, "Zoo in Budapest" would, we were
afraid, be more than we could stand. We were
frankly surprised. For here is a picure in which
the direction of animal routine is so nicely
handled that it becomes subservient to the gen-
eral absorbing atmosphere of intensity which per-
vades the picture.
In "Zoo in Budapest," for some reason or other,
one doesn't mind it so ,much when the animals
break loose, or when the rescue of a child is ef-
fected through the bravery of the hero. Not that
we particularly like the hero either.
Gene Raymond is the star who plays the part
of Zani, the orphan who has been brought up at
the zoo. And, though we don't generally like him,
this is the best picture of his which we've seen. He
really appears much better in the part of an un-
educated young husky in love with the animals
than as a sophisticated man-about-town (witness
"Ex-Lady")
Loretta Young-and we haven't seen a picture
of hers for some time, by the way-does very well
as the young girl who, in love with Zani, escapes
from the orphanage in which she is kept.
The story is crammed with excitement and,
as before suggested, somecyery good animal shots.
There are no other outstanding members in the
cast, but, all in all, it is a very fine movie.

"MEN MUST FIGHT"

The plot of "Men Must Fight," being unusual,
is probably one of the best features of the ,second
attraction at the Michigan this week-enc;. It
concerns the conditions in this country in 1940, at
the time of the outbreak of the next (?) war.
The other attraction of this film is, of course,
Diana Wynyard. Though her part in the picture
is hardly comparable to that awarded her in the
other three films which she made last year, it is,
nevertheless, sufficient for the proper display. of
her exceptional talents.
She is admirably supported by Phillips Holmes,
Lewis Stone, May Robson, and Hedda Hopper.
Ruth Selwyn, as Peggy, the young girl in love with
Holmes, is the one sour note in an otherwise de-
cent cast. She simply can't act, and when placed
beside Miss Wynyard, she demonstrates the fact
perfectly.
But, story, east, direction and photography all
in a nutshell, "Men Must Fight" does justice to
the talents of this fine English actress. Again she
has an English part, but though she hasn't had
one yet, we are convinced that Miss Wynyard will
do juist as well with her first American role.

AT THE WHITNEY
"HIGH GEAR"
(Showing Friday and Saturday)
"High Gear," which opens today at the Whitney
theatre, is the story of a race-driver who loses his
courage after his mechanic's death during a race
and regains his nerve 'through the devotion of an
adopted son and the love of a beautiful girl.
It is a fast-moving sequence containing races,
night clubs, newspaper offices, military schools
and taxicabs. About the only background left out
of the film in fact, is a college campus-and of
course a military school is not so terribly far away
from that.
Playing the title role as "High Gear" Sherrod,
is James Murray, who presents probably one of
the best performances of his screen career. Joan
Marsh plays the girl sweetheart and Jackie Searl
is the adopted son.
In addition to these featured players, Mike
Donlin, veteran ball -player and former captain of
the New York Giants, and Lee Moran, famous
comedian, play the part of mechanics on the
two-man racing car driven by Jimmy-Murray.
In addition to "High Gear," the current Whit-
ney bill also includes the third chapter of the
Whitney's serial thriller, "The Devil Horse," which
features Noah Beery and Harry Carey. A Mickey
Mouse cartoon and a "Curiosity" short complete
the attraction.

AT A TIME when important changes
are being made throughout the en-
re social order, the coming educational confer-
ice on "readjustments," sponsored by the Uni-
ersity School of Education, is most apropos.
The preservation of proper educational facili-:
es is of prime importance to the nation today
id the urge to overlook the needs in this field
re of course great during a time of economic
ress. It is too easy to "economize" in the wrong
ay at a time when economy .is the by-word, and
mly wide discussion of the true facts involved can
revent false economy.
Educators need all .the resources they can pos-
bly command at this ,time to ,prevent narrow-
inded political organizations from ruthlessly'
>ing away with essentials .in .that 'field. Frank,
scussion of the problems involved should do'
uch to clear up many of the differences of opin-
n which now exist.
This three-day conference, primarily planned
r the purpose of interchanging opinion upon
e matter of readjustments in education, should
much to aid in this matter 'of altering our,
lucational machinery to fit the heeds of the day.
