It seems pertinent at this time to inquire what arrangements are to be made for reserving tickets for the S. L. A. course. Almost any system would be preferable to the old method of lining up half of the night in order to secure a desirable seat. We are well aware that the problem is not easy to solve, but at the same time we do not hesitate in saying that the go-as-you-please system of the Choral Union would be vastly more desirable to the students than the old S. L. A. method. The Choral Union has followed this plan for years with eminent satisfaction to all concerned. Itis raised as an objection by many that this necessi- tates going to an entertainment an hour or more before time in order to get seats. All very true, but there is certainly less inconvenience in occupying a moderately comfort- able seat in University Hall for an hour, than in keeping in line for several hours during some of the most frigid winter mornings in order to accomplish the same end in no more satisfactory manner. While we are aware that our proposition is open to objection from more than one side, still we champion it as the best method feasible. A DEPLORABLE FACT. It is indeed a sad commentary on our athletic enthusiasm that class teams are unable to organize for the only reason that a second eleven must be provided for the 'Varsity team to work against. Surely there ought to be enough men in every class, desirous of positions on their class teams, to make at least two elevens, while the 'Varsities are giv- ing employment to two or three second teams. Our athletic supre- macy seems a long way in the dis- tance when we read of other institu- tions with half our attendance whose classes have from twenty to thirty men trying for positions, while we can scarcely keep a second eleven in the field. Our criticism is hard but just. Our athletic spirit, as regards football, at least, is sadly at low ebb. Co_lssUs s sywasn ot celebratei with the glare of trumpets and noise of cannoi, nor with the character- istic Fourth of July enthusiasm, ex- cept, perhaps, in a few private in- stances. At the same time the U. of M. showed her appreciation of the day in a sensible, matter of fact and appropriate manner that speaks iiore patriotism than all the noise and flash of artillery from aine to California. TH URSDAY was College Day among the Methodists. The occasion was made the event of a special write- up of Albion College by the letho- dist Christian Advocate. A fine cut of all members of the faculty ornamented the first page. F33o13 present indications there is every reason to believe that the junior law class election will be promises an interesting event. Combinations are in order. A PiEss C 1W is the latest on the tapis in the law department. It is not generally known that there is a University press club already in ex- istence. COMMUNICATION. Some sensible comments on the Rugby Situation. To the Managing Editor of the U. of .DAILY: "Student" miht have carried his criticism of the attitude of our students towards ath. letics a step farther, and contrasted their actions after the team has sustained dfeat, with thse of the students in eastern coleges. Here in Michigan we expect the nine or eleven to win aways, and underaall cream- stanees, it often takes bt one defeat to change cheering enthusiasts to the most carp- ingeritics, while all good plays and faithful work on the part of players or managementt are lost sight of and forgotten. After the faithful work that has been done by the eleven thus far, it deserves the cordial support of the entire student body in victory or defeat. We ought to feel that, defeated or victorious, the team is doing its best, and playing better foot- bal than Michigan hashad for years. It would be of interestito learn whether easte erncollege faculties deal more liberally with the members of athletic teams than does our own. within the past two years two of the best players on the Cornell nine were kept from an eastern trip because of the same re- strictions as prevail here.
