Paul H.Davis was made business managerfor the coming year.The two newly elected officershave been prominent in dramatic affairs throughout their college courses. and the present honors come asfitting climaxes to their careers. Orchard was initiated into the Dramaticclub i� his Freshman year, and hastaken • part in several productionssince. In the play which the Dramatic club staged last year, "TheFan," he took the part of "Crespino,"and in the first year of his membership he took an important part in"The Good-Natured Man."

Last year heappeared in "The Fan" as Maraccbio,and has achieved fame as the blackfaced comedian at the Reynolds clubsmokers. He coached the dramaticproduction of the University settlement last year, and has assisted invarious minstrel shows outside of theUniversity circle."The Dramatic club this year wiIIcarry into execution a plan whichthe public speaking faculty has advocated for many years," said Orchardyesterday.

As he rounded the corner where stands the stately Quadrangle club he noticed the glowing IIight s and heard the strains of joyful music coming from within itsusually solemn and silent walls. Hisbleak and dreary soul was filled witha deep yearning as he enviouslywatched the gay cavorting's of dignified. stately faculty members within.As he watched the' scene a gust of'wind blew a sheet of paper in hisface.

Anent the question of Michigan'sresumption of relations with theWestern Inter colA Pair of Fools. legiate Conferencethe :\t)ichigan Dailyhas printed certain statements whichare called Michigan's last word onthe situation. These statements contain food for much thought. TheAnn Arbor paper practically says thatMichigan is acting like a child witha false sense of pride in maintaining.an attitude of stubborn and unreasonable inflexibility in a situationwhere all interests agree that thepresent status is generally unsatisfactory.We would like to add to this criticism of Michigan that Chicago is inmuch the same boat. In fact bothMichigan and Chicago as the principals in the difference of opinion areassuming the role of a pair of pettyand unreasoning quibblers. Neitherseems to be large enough to be generous. They are both unable to seethe forest because the trees are inthe way.The (ollowing excerpt from a re-cent issue of the Michigan Daily is illuminating and should be digested bythe authorities at other institutionsbaving an interest in the situation:"That the question is a serious oneis shown by the diversity of opinionamong the very men who are mostanxious . to see Michigan successful.We admit that we �re una?le t� sanction the expressions contamed m !\{�.Hunt's communication, but take thisopportunity to thank him for responding so promptly to our. re�uest fora statement from the Twm CIty alum-.

GiCato ADVISES 'AUTHORS TO BEWAIE HARESFOOT CLUB WILLSTAGE OPERA ON CAMPUSDean Linn Tells His CIaaa FictionWriters Eke Out a Meager Existence, and Shatters Illusions of Embryo Geniuses.Students of the English 4 class, whohave for the last three months beeneagerly absorbing sundry bits of advice given out to them by Dean Linn,who teaches the embryo story writersand dramatists, were somewhat jolted yesterday when he told them thatthey would be needlessly deceivingthemselves if they expected to everearn a living solely by writing."Don't try to write stories unlessyou have some other means of support," were the words of Dean Linn,and by way of qualifying this statement he added, "and whatever elseyou may do to obtain this means ofsupport don't go into teaching. Theconstant contact with immatureminds to which a teacher is subjected inevitably weakens his power towrite clever stories. I could cite toyou one instance after another to substantiate this statement-in fact Iknow of but one exception in all literature, and that one is a member ofour own faculty.Few Writers Make Living."The number of persons who domake a living by writing alone is sosmall as to be almost negligible. Ifyou think you have a talent for writing stories it is right that you shouldtry to develop it, but don't expect theoutput of your pen to provide youdaily sustenance, for if you do youare sure to go hungry. As a writery-ou will not have one chance in athousand of earning enough to keepyou. At the present time I know ofbut three graduates of the Universitywho are earning large sums by writing. Two of these are producingcomic opera in conjunction with asuccessful musical composer. and theother has worked for fifteen years tobring her stories to a level which isacceptable to the publishers."Newspaper reporting is the easiestkind of literary work: to slip into and-it is ;"0 trouble for �me to stick ·in itto a certain point. The difficultyarises in trying to get on. N e wspaper publishers witt accept almost anystyle of writing 50 long as they getarticles which contain a news interest. But when one has advanced upthe scale from about $8 per week to$15 he will find that he usually stopsthere unless he has in him more thanordinary ability for writing newspaper stories. Newspaper reporting isa vigorous training for the man whocar. keep his head and profit by theexperience in finding out things thatit w1JJ give him. The newspapers aswell 2S the magazines are catting today for stories that are more strikingand less conventional. They wantfresh, novel matter and only thatclass will be found to succeed withthem." Comic Opera Organization of Wisconsin May Exchange Performances with Blackfriars.The Haresfoot club of the University of Wisconsin, a similar organization to the Blackfriars, is trying toarrange with the Friars an interchange of performances with the localorganization next spring. Their desire was expressed to the meeting ofthe Blackfriars held yesterday morning and was heartily approved. The\Visconsin club agrees to presenttheir show in Mandel hall under thedirect supervision and management ofthe Blackfriars. It is the intentionof the Friars to petition the board ofstudent organizations for the permission, and it is hoped that the samewitt be granted."Such an interchange of shows,"said one of the officers of the Blackfriars, "would do much to establishmost friendly relations between ourUniversity and the \Visconsin institution. As it has been. our western universities have met only in keenercompetition, which has caused muchrivalry. It would be indeed novel tohave the Haresfoot club bring theirshow here and \ .... e take our opera to:\ladison. It is the hope of all theFriars that this can be so arranged."There was little time yesterday- todiscuss all the important business ofthe order. and therefore it was decided to hold a meeting on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 5. Letters witt be sent to an active members of the organization urging themto be present at this meeting. A report of the social committee will bemade. which witt 'include their arrangements for the Blackfriars' danceto be held next quarter. Also a report of the executive committee uponthe new by-laws will be made.As it is nearing the time for thechoosing of the annual opera, arrangements will be made to governthis competition. A new system ofappointing managers and judgingcommittee will be proposed.PIERROT, '07, STAGESOPERA WRITTEN BY ANEVANSTON STUDENTAdolph G.'
