ROPPING ANN ARBOR'S BOARDS
iorrow's city election will determine whether
\rbor will join the rapidly growing number
es adopting charters laid out on simple, busi-
res. It is opposed by some as a university
xushed by impractical theorists. But the idea
ich these new charters are based did not
up in university towns, though there seems
ao good reason why a university town 'should
kward about it. It was the business commu-
iat first devised it, and it has been pushed
commercial interests, and in many places by
zed labor as well. Opposition has been
and has come largely from politicians, office
sand their friends.
Galveston flood overwhelmed the city gov-
it, and a commission of able citizens was
the job of pulling the city through its dis-
This started a great movement to substi-
Yr the old political charters, that had made

proposed Ann Arbor charter is more con-
ve than these, but it proposes a simple busi-
e, direct action, responsible government of
y by one board, the city council, which ap-
trained business heads of the five depart-
.nto which the city adniiistration is divided,
)lds those heads responsible for results. Itt
a long advance step if Ann Arbor takes this
to get rid f of its complicated government by1
ed boards. This has not been a university
ent, but there is no reason why university
usiness men, laboring men, indeed all citi-
ho want to get returns for the taxes they
maintain their city government, should not
ard for the adoption of this new charter.

To us the religious experience is something deeper
than this. It is a response coming from within to
answer the need made manifest oftenest by great
danger or agony of soul. It is a conscious recogn-
tion of an hitherto unsuspected power within our-
selves which necessitates no proof of faith. It is the
essence of faith from which we draw inspiration
and a calm certainty of our own inner rightness.
That, we contend, does not and cannot come
through an artificial stimulation of the nervous sys-
tem such as the sermons of Sunday produce.
THE OPERA - A CONSTRUCTIVE REVIEW
The fifteenth annual Michigan Union opera has
made its last appearance in Ann Arbor. This pro-
duction has been bigger and better than those which
preceded it both in the beauty of its scenery and the
training of its participants. Its music is good, the
lines exhibit the sort of witty punch so well de-
veloped in the Junior Girls' play, and the success
of the inserted dancing and comedy sketches should
guarantee the future use of such devices. But there
is one thing lacking. To be brief, every Michigan
opera should have at least one Ann Arbor scene
during the course of the play in order to stamp it
definitely as a University product. We do not care
to vie with the professional world in staging a pro-
duction. It is for us to have something significant
which brands the opera "Michigan", which en-
hances the feminine roles as played by men, which
brings their college days back to each alumnus, if
only for a night.
The first Union opera, "Michigenda", was not
only local, but colloquial. It was meant purely for
Ann Arbor presentation, contained quips about pro-
fessors, jokes concerning the campus, and songs of
Michigan. Two factors, the desire to put the en-
tertainment on the road, and a growing triteness of
colloquial wit, lead to the broader type of Univer-
sity opera which could be understood and appre-
ciated by outsiders as well as the student body.-For
years almost the sole source of our college songs
has been the opera. "College Days", "I Want to Go
Back to Michigan", "Ann Arbor Days", "The Bum
Army",, all these and many other of our most popu-
lar songs have emanated from the Mimes prodc-
tions. No matter how good the music of a foreign-
set play, it cannot enrich our treasureof. Michigan
melody.
The "Top o' th' Mornin'" type of opera is ex-
cellent at intervals to prevent the growth of dull-
ness in more local dramas, but as an annual diet it
would hot satisfy the requirements of a true Michi-
gan production.
Forty-two California hotel owners, by agreement,
went back to pre-war prices April . Even in Ann
Arbor, the small' lunch bottle of milk has slipped
back to a nickel. Let the signs of spring - and
peace - continue!
When a lawyer who was receiver for a Chicago
bank jumped to his death from the tenth story of the
bank building, twenty-five barristers at once applied
for the position. It's no use, fools step in - etc.

Dear Noah:
I have been going out rather steadily with a young

'I have called upon her, though, I have been con-
siderably annoyed by the fact that she keeps show-
ing me a snapshot of a rival of mine. What shall
I do? Distracted.
Why not get hold of the snapshot and hide it in
her Bible. She'd never' find it there..
It's getting nowadays that a proof of a man's de-
votion lies not in the fact of how much he loves a
girl but how often.
And every time one of the
Fair Ones pulls something
On us and then tries to smooth
It over by saying,
"Oh, don't get angry with me,

We can't help wishing she'd

We thank you.

GOOD FOR M3ICHIGAN U
(From the Chicago Tribune.)
The action of the University of
Michigan in making physical training
compulsory for all students ought to
be generally adopted in colleges and
schools. The 1917 mobilization of our
more of less "armed citizenry" dem-
onstrated, as Regent Murfin recalls,
that American youth is not physically
what it ought to be.
That was anunpleasant surprise,
for we had taken it for granted that
American life was athletic and free
from the defects of an effete society.
Now that we know it is not free and
have had it proved on a comprehensive
scale, it is up to us to correct it and
that correction should come in the
schools.
Every child in the schools should
have physical supervision and regular
exercise for the correction of weak-
nesses and the building up of the con-
stitution. Exercise should be carried
on through youth, and, for that mat-
ter, through life, but during the bdu-
cational and formative years it is es-
pecially important and fortunately can
be prescribed.
The result of this will be a great ad-
vance in the vigor of the nation, an en-
ormous increase in the total volume
of American energy and, we believe,
a toning up of morale.
One of the benefits which would'flow
from the universal, military training
which congress was not wise enough
to adopt was the strengthening of the
American physique-as well as the
American morale. The University of
Illinois has military training and all
schools should have it. But a system
of prescribed courses in general phys-
ical exercise should be adopted
throughout the country.
