The question may be asked as to who would, in that rase, deal with the printer, engraver, etc.? The answer Is plain. It should be the editor. If best results are desired. The only part the business manager should play Ib the securing of ads. Accounts Bhould be accurately kept. The class officers should constitute an auditing committee. In this way the money that comes In is practically certain for the most part to bo expended In the making of a succescful book. The sur plus could go to the class or to college seti.v. uu Another student has tho followlrig plans to offer: "This charge of 'graft' seems to be a growing one against col lege publications, and as yet no one has offered a solution. How can we eliminate the 'graft'? If provision Is made that all funds derived from a publication shall be turned into the class treasury, and tho board paid a stipend, you thereby destroy the will ingness of the editors to put forth their best efforts. Is this, then, the dilemma a 'graft' and a poor book, or 'no graft' and a poor book? Could not some scheme be evolved which would make merit count most? Would It not be practical to have the class stand all deficits under all conditions, take all profits above a certain stipend, un less, by a competent tribunal, tho pub lication put forth shall be pronounced superior to the preceding of its kind, when the entire proceeds should go to tho board? This, perhaps. Is a crude thought, but could not It be taken as a beginning for an experiment?" Another student makes the following suggestion: "There is no use to knock unless you have some remedy to offer. Why not learn a lesson from football on the one hand and debating on the other, and find a solution which will do away with the 'graft' against which more are knocking thlB year than ever before? Honor would In time count largely as a recompense, especially when personal and class pride shall come to be the motive of the book and not something else. Honor secures a football manager and baseball manager year after year, consuming a very largo amount of time and carrying with It not a penny of salary. Debating, how ever, suggests something to co-operate with this honor. Let the- editor-in-chief and assistant editor-in-chief be appointed only when confirmed by the head of the English department, and then let a reasonable amount of credit be given for the work, as In debating, and wo have a second stmulus which would bring out good men and get out a good book. As for the business manager, let the class fix a reasonable amount for his compensation, and the honor of getting out a magnificent vol ume would do the rest. A pencil and paper for fifteen minutes will soon re veal what the Income of the book must be. and if no money were made by nnvone and every cent except tho man ager's reasonable salary were put Into making the book artistic and a valu able souvenlor, It would soon become an honor worth striving for to be one of those who should dictate the policy and make-up of the annual, we snouui not knock on- the individuals, but on tho system, and when the' business manager of the Sombrero boasts that he spotted the management of the Junior annual when he first set foot on the campus as a freshman, we should not criticize him so much as deplore tho system which makes It possible." As a remedy for the present griev ance, if such there be, was suggested in the following: "It would be well to eliminate tho Sombrero altogether and make one annual Instead of two. This could be put Into the hands of either tho senior or Junior class, preferably the former, and a much better publica tion would be the result, because en ergy would bo concentrated on the one book." While this suggestion might work well, yet wo hardly see how such a course would satisfy the conditions of the present question. This naner would be very incomplete were It to express only .ae opinion of students who are opposed to the pres ent system oP managing class books.

H. Brennan Presents MARY SHAW In Henrik Ibsen's widely discussed drama of heredity "QHOSTS" "With the same cast that won such favorable comment in New York Matinee 25c to $1. Evening 25c to $150 MONDAY NIGHT, MAY 11th JAMES K. HACKETT PRODUCES WINSTON CHURCHILL'S "The Crisis" A New Play Especially Prepared for the Stage, from the Celebrated Novel by the Author Himself. MR. HACKETT AND HIS ORIGINAL SUPPORTING COMPANY, AND ELABORATE SCENERY, WILL APPEAR. The production of Winston Churchill's play, "The Crisis, " which James K. Hackett presented to tho public this season, and" In which he plays tho charac ter of Stephen Brlce, Is said to bo the most completed and satisfactory realization of a popular book upon tho stage that has been seen since the appearance of "The Prisoner of Zenda," years ago, In which, by tho way, Mr. Hackett, also appeared, that being his first starring venture. In this case, it Is Bald, so closely does the play follow Mr. Churchill's widely-known novel of Civil War times, that no one who has read the book can feel one moment of disappointment, h.nd those who have not read it will witness a well-rounded and Interesting play. All the lovable characters of tho Btory and those closely associated with them are in the play, and given tho same relative value. Prices 50c, $1.0O, $1.50, and $2.00 umns, I am glad of this opportunity to express my v!q.ws on the subject. There seems to be a great deal of un easiness for fear the boys who man-i aged and edited the various annuals may be able to make their expenses and something besides. There Is talk about 'grafters' and 'making hauls,' and so on. This Is certainly a charm ing exhibition of college spirit. When ever a really live and progressive movement Is started, there are always those who muBt 'knock.' The work of months, of course, counts for nothing. The work of collecting material, hav ing printing and engraving done, the hunting around for advertising is, of course, no consideration, but if there is a suspicion that the board of man agers are not In real want of money, the people of the University seem fear fully vorried about it. Don't the pub lications, such as Junidr and Benlor class bookfr, add a great deal to a Uni versity's reputation? Wouldn't a col lege of this bIzo be a slow one if it could boast of no such 'evidences of college spirit? Is It not a little under taking to spend a good part of four months in getting such a book to gether (and even the prejudiced must admit that both class books this year, have made excellent showings)? It Is more than the public, so ever ready to criticize, may think. And in addi tion to this there is the risk which the management must assume in taking charge of the paper to start with. If the University paid the editors by the hour or day for jtbe good hard work needed to produce such a paper, they would expend far more than it is pos sible for an annual to clear above ex- 4 penses. How much work for their class book have the 'knockers' put in? How much of a Sombrero would have been printed if it had been left to the ones who now object so vigorously? Hpw much do they want for n. rtniinr and twenty-five centB, anyway?" "As there is rumor that snmp n tacks are going to bo made on the man agement of the senior and Sombrero boards, and ob the editors sav thov win say nothing in their own defense, I ininu u iooks rattier poor for the Uni versity students to raise such a shout of protest. Isn't It enough to make anyone sore to wock away till you get a paper that would be a credit to any institution, and then have the public rage for fear you will make a few dollars off of It? Though there isn't any evidence that they will make a haul off of either annual, what if they should? Haven't they worked for it?" "As this paper is to be devoted to the annual, I wish to Insert a vigorous whack at the lack of spirit college spirit that some neonler show in hainc so ready to criticize the annual boards.. jjney nave puoiisned their books, It i their own lookout whether they go1 Into the hole or make a few dollars. The senior book was well worth seventy cents and the Sombrero, as the News said, 'is the finest annual that has ever been published by tho University.' So why be grouchy about it?" Seniors who are going to need more pictures should order immediately, that we may complete them before school closes.
