some bad, but, as at the assemblies,
this is not unalloyed with an overbal-
ancing power of good.
If the class and society dances were
run as queietly and as decently as the
mid-week assemblies, there would be
very little cause for criticism. It is at
recent functions of a distinctly univer-
sity nature, that the most flagrant and
most vulgar dancing has been seen.
Unchaperoned the assemblies are, but
they are, notwithstanding this absence
of the conventional fixture, more prop-
er than the majority of class and so-
ciety events. It is the duty of the
chaperon to see that no improper danc-
ing is indulged in, but this is some-
thing that the chaperons have always
falied to do.
In conclusion, let there be a little
more individualism in thought and ac-
tion and not a mad surging to follow
the lead of other self-appointed social
leaders. Independence is a quality we
have always appreciated in Michigan
girls but the latest action makes it look
as if it were on the wane.

Be More Independent.
The idea of several social groups in
passing rules which prevent their
members from attending Wednesday
and Saturday evening dances, seems
not only uncalled for but a childish ac-
tion. Some time ago The Michigan
Daily advocated the elimination of the
latest innovations in dancing, includ-
ing the 'Grizzly-Bear," the "Bunny-
Hug" and the "Bear-Cat," believing
that these dances were not good. Our
attitude remains the same, but self-re-
form was suggested, not a boycott of
dancing of a semi-public nature.
'Only a small portion of the student
body was addicted to the extreme use
of the above mentioned dances. And
these exhibitions were much more in
evidence at class and society parties
than at any of the assemblies. The
Michigan Daily believed that the girls
of the university had enough back-
bone and strength of character to
eliminate the vulgar without stopping
dancing entirely. Judging by the ac-
tion of the several organizations, this
does not seem to be the case. Accord-
ing to this ruling the girls have no
sense of discrimination, and lack en-
tirely the ability to choose between
right and wrong, but must needs have
their standards set for them by the
authorities and a great number of girls
who are not even interested in danc-
ing and therefore do not perceive what
they are doing to hurt others.
Michigan is, notwithstanding its
present imperialistic tendencies, a
place where free thought and free ac-
tion should prevail. The participation
or non-participation in any event, be
it a dance or of another nature, should
be left to the individual. The average
individual possesses the sense of dis-
crimination, and for those who have
not yet advanced beyond the feeding
bottle stage, Michigan is certainly no
place.
It is just as foolish to pass a rule
forbidding attendance at mid-week as-
semblies, as it is to say whether or no
any one shall visit the theater, opera
or concert. In all of these there is

It must be great to be such an im-
portant personage on the campus that
you can wear soft collars and tattered
bits of headgear, which the hoi poli
bow down before as emblems of geni-
ustic eccentricity.
After you've paid your good sheck-
els to see the French play, the German
play, the Ladies Guild extravaganza,
the Oratorical Board's earnest endeav-
ors, don't you'enjoy asimple night at
the Hobart Guild?
The Illini proposes a "Big Eight"
composed of Chicago and seven young
ladies' finishing schools.
You have three guesses on what the
editorial "Twenty Years Ahead Today"
will concern-the Council, the Confer-
ence, or Geddle Sprig.
REPRODUCE JUNIOR GIRLS' PLAY
(iven Tonight for Visiting Alumnae
of the University.
"In Old Bagdad," the play presented
by the junior girls in honor of -the
seniors Wednesday evening will be re-
peated tonight in Sarah CaswellAngell
Hall. This second performance will
be given in order that the alumnae
of the university who are in Ann Ar-
bor to attend the annual Women's ban-
quet may have an opportunity of see-
ing it.
A third performance will be given
next Tuesday evening. The seating ca-
pacity of Sarah Caswell Angell Hall
permitted but half of the junior and
senior girls to witness the first show
and this extra performance will be for
those who didn't attend the first one.
