VNAGING EDITOR. Wfalter H. To wreris. St1NESS MANAGER Alibert IL Dilley WE'D'NESDAY, APRIL 24, 1912. Our Sen)Sitiv e Extremities . Among other things Michigan is blessed with.- an exceedingly large number of people whose pedal extrem- ities are over-sensitive. This is not peculiar to members of the student body but extends right through the faculty from instructor to professor. It is a strange state or condition and does not readily yield itself to treat- ment. Yet it is the chief obstacle in the path of the Daily staff. The staff is attempting to give Mlichi- igan a newspaper every morning. Some know a little about journalism, others are still trying to master the rudi- ments, But, one and all, they are do- ing their best to give to the members of the university a fair and unbiased account of university happenings. .. To do this The Michigan Daily must -be free. There is as much danger in supprecsing some news as there is in running other happe'nings. To be fair in all respects and to present the "norm" of student opinion, there must be no interference on the part of frieilds, or critics, no matter where *they be, - All that is printed is not pretty, but the function of the newspaper, to our, mind, is somewha~t akin to that of ex- pert surgeon. While in the process of operating, his work looks anything but nice, but when the patient has been freed of his affliction and is on - he road to recovery we cannot but admire the result, Just so does the newspa~per find it necessary to cut and slash. The growth must be cut away, and, while this process may not be ge nice, glance ahead at the general re- sult and the end towards which the pa- per strives, - Surrounded as we are by our friends and by everything we like, it is hard at timles to rive an exactly un- k prejudiced report of all happenings. W're are liable to err because we are strongly in symnpathy with every man 10 and evei-y mo',-ment tha.t are for the good of the university. So, when some- thing is printed that does not exactly strike your fancy or makes you believe that someone has trod upon the sensi- tive toe, do not proceed to pull the paper to pieces bit by bit or swear at the editors. Look ahead just a little 'further than the aforesaid toes and see what we are trying to accomplish and then hold back the hammer until you perceive the general result. MUSIC AND DRAMA Th'Cat and the Fiddile." When Chas. A. Sellon's "Cat and the Fiddle" plays here at the Whitney the- ater on Thursday, April 25, Harry B. Watson, that "'Easy Chap" comedian, will be seen' in the 1 encgidaom will be seen in the leading comedy role. Mr. Watson is rapidly glaining an enviable position among the fore- most ranks of our comedians, and a brilliant future is assured him. He is ably supported by a capable company or over forty people. The music and lyrics of "Thle Cat ,end The Fiddle" are by Carleton Lee Colby, and are said to be bright, new, whistly and catchy. Among the new numbers may be mentioned "My Maid in the Moon," ;Mother Goose and Il3r Baby Dolls," "Teddy in the Jungles," and several others, 1)EUtASCIER VERtEIN SLAT S 1L 1 ST-kARTS IT H 1W4 REI;itUNS, Practic ally the entire portion of the lower floor of the Whitney theatcr re- served' for the students at the lDeutscli- er Verein play was disposed of at the seat sale yesterday.
