Weber THE MEMORIAL THEATER Of all the suggestions offered for a soldier memorial on the campus, the one of a campus theater seems to be the best. A campus theater would be a mem- orial in more ways than one. First, and most important of course, it would fittingly commemorate) the heroism and self-sacrifice of the boys who left to fight for their country. But it wouldalso be a memorial to those who erect it, just as Alumni Memorial hall honors not only the. revered dead of the Civil' War, but, too, those alumni who made it pos- sible. Whatever form the soldier memorial shall take, it should posses usefulness as well as enduring beauty. A cam- pus theater would do this ideally. There has long been a feeling that in the matter of dramatics Michigan has, fallen behind. The courses -offer- ed are more or less theoretical in character, and if dramatics are to be taught at all, something more than theory must be given. There must be a "laboratory" in which to produce actual plays, so that the real technique of the theater may be learned. At present, the-only way this actual experience is to be had is in the var- ious dramatic societies. These so- cieties are necessarily limited in their scope, and appeal only to a narrow.. circle. A campus theater could com- bine all the various elements, and make possible more complete produc- tions. It could also, and this would be its most important function, nake possible those courses in play-writing and play-production which are so pop- ular in some of the eastern universi- ties. Michigan has long recognized the need for a campus theater, and The Daily is proud to be the first to link it with the proposed soldier memorial. "If those are the peace terms, then America can go to -," says Luden- dorff. We've been there, Ludie, all on account o) you, and that's why the terms are like they are. SCORS "AD"TRADITION MICHIGAN'S ATTITUDE TOWARD WOMEN DISCUSSED IN LIGHT OF OHIO STATE EDITORIAL. Editor, The Michigan Daily: Prof. John C. Parker, in his remarks to the students on Traditions' night in Hill auditorium, made the state- ment that there are different types of traditions-some bad ones as well as many good ones, and that it is the dty and privilege of the student body to support the good ones and exterm- inate those which lack the basis of fundamental worth-whileness. And in the same week the Ohio State Lantern and the Daily Illini came forth with duplicate columns of free publicity for a local tradition, that were nether flattering nor true to Michigan men, Michigan women, nor Michigan spirit. To have other college journals copying and spreading the report that Michigan men are lacking that "innate sense of respect and cour- tesy due a woman," will not heighten the national prestige of their alma mater; to infer that Michigan women tolerate such an attitude will not at- tract the highest type of womanhood to seek education on this campus; to herald abroad the natural conclusion that Ann Arbor is a pattern of small- town stuff will be no particular tribute to the wholesome fame of Michigan "spirit." And yet' the Lantern was justified in' its editorial viewpoint-justified in so far as it described a local tradition which, superfically, at least, -still ex- ists on our campus. Had the repre- sentatives of the Ohio journal stayed longer and seen deeper, had they se- cured the opinions of men on the campus who are Michigan men in the truest sense of the word, the unsavory tone, at least, of their comment, might have been altered. As it is, a certain minor faction of men on the campus who have not out- grown the obedient stage of looking at traditions through freshman spec- tacles just because some sophomore once told them to, are responsible for the type of publicity that is going to brand the University of Michigan with "small-town" calibre Wherever the Ohio State Lantern goes over an ex- change desk.I ,Most traditions are good; this par- ticular one, however, is busy demon- strating that it is inherently bad. Why not eliminate it definitely and ap- ply the energy we expend in banter- ing it into continual focus toward un- ited campus support of some worthier tradition? A SENIOR. WHERE ARE CP AND SOWN? SENIORS OF 1919 CLASSES FAIL TO UPHOLD OLD ESTABLISHED CUSTOM Editor, The Michigan Dily - Just a word or two about Michigan's traditions-a point not brought out at the Tradition-Pep meeting Wednesday night. It has been the custom in past years for the seniors, after swing-out, to ,wear their caps and gowns on Wednes- flays ahd Fridays. But this year there has been a woeful lack of evidence that a senior class even existed. We expect the frosh to wear his gray pot. It is a tradition, one of the first a freshman learns. It is just as much a tradition for a Michigan senior to wear his cap and gown, and even more obligatory. The whole campus has been criticising the underclassmen for not living up to Michigan's traditions. They may be partly excused because of their greenness and ignorance of our traditions. But there is no excuse for a man who has been on the campus four years not to know our traditions, and do all in his power to keep these traditions going. Come through, class of 1919.

STREET" CAMPUS her appearance. mar II.~ Don't Fail to Visit Our New Lunch Room . . Try Our Strawberry Shortcake Editor, The Michigan Daily: If any one questions the advisabil- ity of a Campus theater for our Uni- versity, the doubts must have been dispelled after witnessing the per- formance of "Quality Stree," Friday evening by Maques under the direction of Professor Nelson. For if that lovely bit of sweet gentility and subtle humor, so Barrieesq .e in itsdstyle and plan, could be so successfully staed as Masques have given it, practically without any of the equipment ade- quate to the needs of a dramatic so- ciety's ambitions, what would not the future hold with the institution of a Campus theater at their command. Indeed, one may almost say that a new ere in Campus recreational activ- ities has come, for therewere all the laughs, all the heart fiutterings and all the charm of the so-called "tra- ditional campus productions" minus any bourgeois elements of varied at- tempts to stage a "Follies," and plus the additional element of an artistic presentation of an artistic theme. Another splendidly hopeful feature of Masques' achievement is the co- operative spirit manifested on the part of the various groups and individuals who had no little share in making the play a success. The orchestra, the best available from our numerous groups of campus musicians, furnish- ed delightful music, and what is equal- ly significant, it vas' donated by Mr. Gornetsky and his players. Thepre- sence of the Girls' Glee club as a part of the between-the-acts enter- tainment marks another significant aspect of the possibilities of campus achievements through inter-co-opera- tion; and the little children who helped make the second act were the last word in help and united effort. One might comment thoughtfully on the vacancy of even one seat at the initial performance. Whether it was because it was the "first night," or because the absentee students could not see in the posters possibilities of plays which recently have impelled them to plan "rushes" on the theater, who shall say? Masques, it was splendid! From the programs to the dear old grandfather clock your achievement merits all the congratulations an appreciative mem- ber of the audience can express. BY AN ENTHUSIASTIC SENIOR. Engineering News The postponed meeting of the A. S. M. E. will be held at 7:30 o'clock, Monday in room 345 of the Engineer- ing building. Election of officers will take place and an interesting program is billed. Prof. J. C. Parker, of the electrical engineering department, will talk on "Electricity in Mechanical En- gineering." A. D. Althouse, '19E, and two other students will talk on "Car Performance." Dean Mortimer E. Cooley, president of the ntional society, will attend the meeting. E. R. Youngs, '15E, of the Detroit Steel Casting company, conferred with Prof. A. E. White, of the engineering department, Thursday in reference to new lines of work which the company is contemplating entering. They are relative to the production of high gradecastings which will resist osida- tion and scaling. A new boiler feed regulator has been received from the Copes Pump company. This will go on the new experimental boiler which has been bought with the idea of experiment- ing on scientific lines. The regulator will feed automatically and eliminate any need of a fireman or engineer.
