No? What aI
pity! For, indeed, he is the rarest of
rare birds-and the first to don winter
plumage. Friday it was, that the
dear chick, only three weeks distant
from the shadow of protecting mater-
nal wings,' ventured courageously
abroad, right in the middle of a dan-
gerous, cold-inducing drizzle. But
was he foolhardy? Was he unmindful
of the thousand tender solicitations,
'the loving warnings, poured into his
ears upon his departure from the
home nest? Not he!
And so it was that when myriads of
sticky, autumn-tinted leaves, loosened
by the lugubrious rain, fell slobber-
ingly upon the cement walks, and all
signs seemed to say that winter might
happen along in a month or so,-so
it was that he, fearful lest he be taken
unawares and stricken, down with
some dread malady, walked rapidly
across the campus, looking furtively
about for predatory microbes. Perch-

ing in the warm rain, was a fresh

PREPARING TO WRITE NEW PLAY.
Avery Hopwood, '05, Visits Ann Arbor
in Search of Dramatic Material.
Secluding himself within the con-
fines of Ann Arbor, Avery Hopwood,
'05, who has made himself well known
throughout the country as a play-"
right, is getting together material for
a new play.,
Among Hopwood's productions,
which have been staged with success,
may be mentioned "Seven Days," writ-
ten in conjunction with Mary Roberts'
Reinhart, "Julia Forgot," and "No-
body's Widow." One recently com-
pleted, "Somwhere Else," will be pro-
duced in New York next December.
Whether the new play will concern
itself with Ann Arbor or college life,
has not yet been revealed, the pur-
pose of Mr. Hopwood's visit being
evidently only to seek rest. It is pos-
sible, however, that he may consent
to lecture before some of the rhetoric
classes.
While attending the university, Mr.
Hopwood was a member of the Phi
Gamma Delta fraternity, and was well
known on the campus.
GREAT INTEREST SHOWN IN
COMING GERMAN PRODUCTION
Judging from the advance seat sale
great interest is being taken in the
coming production of Anzengruber's
"Der G'wissenwurm," the play which:
will be presented by the Munich Volk-
players at the Whitney Theater, Wed-
nesday, October 30. Tickets may be
reserved at room 205 University hall,
daily, except Saturday, at 4:00 p. m.
Interpretative lectures on the play
will be given this week by Professor
J. W. Scholl. The object of these lec-
tures is to acquaint those who have
not had an opportunity to read the
play with the action and main points
of Anzengruber's comedy. The time
and place of the lectures will be an-
nounced later.

He is a freshman. Principally, be-l
cause this wouldn't be a good story if1
he weren't; and incidentally because
this is his first year in the university.l
His name is Freddie. Principally, be-
cause that name appeals to your im-
agination; and incidentally, again, be-
cause that is his name.
Being a ldutiful little freshman,
Freddie appeared at the rush. He
wore, in harmony with his inexper-
ience of rushes, only a flimsy old shirt
between himself and the blood curd-,
ling yells of the sophomores. As the
festivities began, Freddie's shirt dis-
appeared almost as quickly as his
courage.
Becoming peeved at the rude way in
which he was treated, our hero stuck
his naughty little doubled-up hand in
a sophomore's eyes. His new ac-
quaintance returned the greeting by
grabbing a hand full of cuticle off
Freddie's neck, taking with it a life
long companion of Freddie's, a mole
which had long served him as a col-
lar button.
The next day Freddie's neck was
sore. Today it was very painful, and
he told his upperclass friend from the
old home town about it. Together they
hit the trail for the university hos-
pital.
Arriving at their destination, the
upperclassman steered his charge into
the office and arranged for an examin-
ation of the freshman-a "dent," by
the way. The victim was led into a
gruesome chamber and confronted by
an interne (I don't know what they
are, either, Genevieve).
The torturer was one of these sav-
age looking seniors who wear mus-
taches. He was very grave and sol-
emn. He spoke of mlood poisoning.
He pondered at great length after
examining the wound (?) and then
filled out a terrible red ticket, writing
the freshman's history out at great
length.
Receiving the document, our Fred-
die started for another .room to see a-
yes, a doctor! But on the way he
looked at the card. It said many
things, but one word stood out with
UNITARIANS CALL NEW PASTOR,
Graduate of Ilarvard and Meadville
Invited to Fill Local Pulpit.
The First Unitarian church, which
has been without a pastor ever since
last spring, when the Rev. Percy
Dawson, resigned, has unanimously
called Robert S. Loring, of Boston,
Mass., to fill the pulpit. Mr. Loring,
who comes from a pastorate in Iowa
City, Iowa, will .begin his duties here
October 26. He is a graduate of Har-
vard University and of Meadville
Theological School.
All feeling among the church mem-
bers, growing out of Dr. Dawson's
close affiliations with the local branch
of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society,
has disappeared, and the society, by
request, is again holding its meetings
in the church parlors. The Young
People's Religious union, which dis-
banded at the time of the trouble, has,
also been reorganized, and all are
anxious to smooth over all difficulties
and work together in the interests of
the church.

NEW COMET IS MAIN OBJECT
OF INTEREST TO OBSERVATORY
Gale's comet, recently discovered by
Prof. Gale, of Sidney, Australia, has
been the main object of interest to
students of the observatory for the
past three weeks. Up to two days
ago, the comet was visible to the
naked eye, and it is now to be seen
in the west by the aid of opera glasses.
The moon coming in this week has
partially obscured it. The comet has
now passed perihelion, and dropping
away from both the sun and the earth.

absence, but this position is held by
Assistant Prof. R. H. Curtiss.

Journeying from Honolulu to
University of Michigan certai
shows a true search for learning,
it happens that the latest seeker a
knowledge is a young woman. Fu
ermore she is the only member of
fair sex who is enrolled in the fre

"Father wanted me to come,"
said yesterday. "Michigan is
known in Honolulu and many of
best lawyers once called Ann A
'home.' I wouldn't have gone
other place."
When asked how the laws of
native Hawaii differed from this c
try, Miss Ashford smiled and said
didn't know quite enough law yet,
ing only a freshman, to really sp
on such a subject.
"However, I know that the
governing property are quite di
ent," she said. "You see, all the
laws hold in my country, except w
they conflict with the United St
Constitution. That makes some
them rather primeval, but then we
along pretty well.
"Is the language hard? Of co
it isn't for me and so I won't am
that. I'll just tell you what my r
is in the native dialect. It's Ka
hackalani. Isn't that enough? "
Miss Ashford was born and bro
