ously consider whether or not the
camp is worth a considerable con-
tribution. Surely, if there are any
among us who are interested in the
youth of the nation, and the fine work
which the Student Christian Associa-
tion is doing among them at Pater-
son Lake, they can accomplish few
more concrete things with a small ef-
fort than by generously contributing
to the Fresh Air Camp fund.
THE UNDERPAID ACTORS
Chief among all financial develop-
ments of the past few weeks is the an-
nouncement by the movie producers
that the salaries of the stars will be
cut. Outside of the inveterate hard-
ship which the pay cut of ten percent
will work on the thousand dollar a
week performers who adorn the silver
screen, the issue involves the whole
question of fitting reward for service
rendered, and the question as to how
much one who contributes as little as
a movie actor to the general welfare
of the public should be rewarded.
Of course of the twelve-dollar a
week laundry girl who goes to the
neighborhood movie house on Satur-
day night, after a dismal week spent
drapping bundles, and see there for
fifty cents all the glitter and glamor
of the world she never will experience,
and sees the dissipated looking actress
spun through several thousand feet
of thrilling exepriences, climaxing
with a passionate love scene which
she and her delivery boy friend will
never approach, the actors and act-
resses can not be overpaid. By en-

IrSCENARIO
o CONTEST
Having become disgusted with The
Daily, the paper that is given away
every morning with each copy of
Rolls, we are adding to the stupen-
dous prize of $100 offered by the
- Times-News for a scenario, two Swiss
- cheese sandwiches to make the win-
ning really worth while. The rules for
Roll's contest are the same as those
printed in the Times-News, recently.
t *
The following is the scenario which
would win the contest were it submit-
ted but we shall not do so in order
to give others a chance.
* * *
The story opens on a farm. John
Jones is the boy working in the field.
(Here we shall tell a secret. He is
the hero of the story and will win his
way to fame and fortune working on
the Ann Arbor Times-News. Emulate
him and be wealthy yourself.-Adv.)
John has on several occasion been
forutnate enough to read a newspaper,
and being disgusted with conditions
on the farm he decides to go to the
city and work on a big metropolitan
newspaper.
The next scene shows John arriving
on the Ann Arbor railroad in the city
from which the train takes its name..
He immediately sets out in a search
for employment. Arriving at the Press
building he applied for work on The
Michigan Daily but is told that he
must be a student to work there so
he breaks down and applies for a po-
sition at the Times-News office. There
he is immediately set to work chasing
copy.
As always happens in any good
movie, the first day our hero falls in
love with Mary, the beautiful daughter
of the managing editor. He tries to
attract her attention in many ways
and finally after months of trying he
chases some copy into the managing
editor's office when the girl is there.
She, of course is struck by his manli-
ness, etc., and although she will not
admit it to herself is madly in love
with him.
THE FATHER AT WORK
In consequence with this winning of
the heart of the daughter of one so
high on the staff, our hero is imme-
diately promoted to the position of
star reporter, but the managing ed-
itor insists that he get a scoop be-
fore he can have the hand of the beau-
tiful daughter in marriage. (Don't
mind the ambiguity of the pronouns,
that adds to the intensity of the
story.)
Our hero immediately dashes out,
plans a murder, gets the only story on
it for his paper, marries the daughter
and lives happily ever after. Thus the
Times-News is portrayed as the best
newspaper in the United States, and if
you write a scenario like this model
you will win the prize.

CAMPUS OPINION
The Daily will publish at its
discretion letters to the editor,
under the heading "Campus Op-
ino"when they are deemed
tonse of general interest and
pertinent to events of the day
in or about the University. All
Imembers of the Summer session
are urged to contribute their
views, with the hope of stimulat-
ing intelligent discussion.
All communication must be
signed, but initials only will be
published if requested. By a
regulation of the Board in Con-
trol of Student Publications, all
letters must be read and approv-
ed by the Managing Editor and
Editorial Director, and a copy
of each, bearing their signatures
must be kept on file in The Daily
office.
After all a thousand dollars a week
ought to be plenty for most any ex-
stenographer to live on, even taking
into account certain overhead expenses
which actors and actresses are bound
to incur. The movie industry at pres-
ent is carrying a tremendous lode-
stone chained to its ankle, nad it is
time that it retrenched. Not only
should the cost of pictures be reduc-
ed, but the reduction should and must
be passed on to the neral public if
an equitable se'tsIuent is be
reached.

cious toasted sandwiches,
