A1i02 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.

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. --Jeb. 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.
