What is more, the rest of us ought to see to it that all entering men of any kind of athletic ability get busy at once. We should not let them run the risk of becoming physically stale. Such a procedure can do the men them- selves nothing but good; and it may mean greater things in the future for Michigan athletics. T HE PLAYERS' CLUB. DEBUT Judging by the liberal praise given the four one- act plays through which the Players' club made its debut, Michigan's newest dramatic organization has every advantage of a good start. Aside from the skill ii] acting and producing displayed, its inter-- pretations of work by leading playwrights give strong assurance that the club will be fully able to cope with the more difficult problems incident to carrying out its aims. A successful Players' club will mean much to Michigan. Briefly the organization's plans are aimed to foster interest in the University in the higher forms of drama, with'plays produced by students from start to finish as its ultimate objective. If its ideal is realized, Michigan will have drama en- tirely its own, made up of plays written, acted, and presented in every way by University students. The assistance the plan offers those wishing to accompany academic instruction in the theater with "practical work" is easily appreciated. Students who are interested in writing plays, acting, and so forth, find in it the invaluable advantages of the laboratory method of study which is the keystone of instruction in Michigan's professional schools and which is of no little importance in the theatrical wo rid. The logical results of the Players' club plan are a better grade of drama at Michigan and the de- velopment of more players and playwrights among the student body. At present the organization is demanding the undivided attention of its members. Great things can be expected of the club if it ad- heres to its program and preserves the spirit of serious work that has so far characterized its un- dertakings. One Ann Arbor fire department, at the great con- flagration Thursday night, proved that while the city water-pressure isn't strong enough to break a window it at least can raise one. Did everybody notice in Friday's Daily how the homoeop hospital looks under quarantine? The Telescope Dear Noah: Don't you think that "unique" is a very good word to use in describing Ann Arbor. C. D. E - Yes, very appropriate. The word unique, as we understand it, is derived from two Latin words, uno meaning one, and equus meaning horse. In substantiation of our oft repeated declaration that true poetry must follow rhetoricalprinciples as to proper and logical sequence, we submit the following. Part of this we made up out of our own head and even then had enough material left over to make a kitchen table.

Night Editor-JOHN I. DAKIN. THE BUSY SIGNAL The busy man is seldom pressed for time. He can always manage to squeeze in a little work in ad- dition to the regular routine. This holds good at Michigan as well as it does anywhere else. The man who studies conscientiously and still finds time to enter into the constructive side of what is com- monly termed "College Li.fe" is seldom too busy to step in and boost for some -projected program of real value. On the other hand, the man who never does much in the line of study and less in student activi- ties or committee work is constantly howling about how busy he is. He barely succeeds in snatching time for meals. He is always in a hurry to get to Huston's or the Union billiard room. He tears frantically about from this appointment to that date and from the "Maj" to the Arcade. He "fusses" or plays cards until early morning so that his sleep- ing hours are badly cut down. When he does man- age to steal a few leisure minutes, he spends them royally in lounging in some soft chair, preferably within easy reach of the match-box anid the deck of cigarettes. If he be asked to serve on some committee by a harassed chairman, his invariable answer is. "I'm too busy." Likewise this breed is generally too busy to find time for study. A "C" grade is to them of equal merit to an "A" grade in the mind of the honestly studious. There are all too few of us in the first class and far too many in the second. It's up to us to take down the "Too Busy" sign and get to work. It pays in the end. COME OUT THE FIRST YEAR When the high shool graduate comes to the Uni- versity 'for a college education he does not expect to complete the work and fit himself for coapeti- tion with the world in less than the prescribed four years. On the contrary, he matriculates fully ex- pecting to spend the required time here, if he is at all seriously intentioned, and he realizes that a col- lege training cannot be obtained in a few months or even in one or two years. We are, however, inclined to confine this con- ception of training to the intellectual alone and to forget that it applies to physical development just as well as to mental. It is no more possible for the man of even good athletic ability to come to col- lege, let athletics go for the first year or possibly the first two years, and then expect to make of himself a first rate college athlete than it is possi- ble for the high school graduate to get all that he might get out of college in one or two years. Both require time, if the individual is to make the most of his opportunities and to develop himself to the greatest possible degree. The fact that so many men let their track work slip for their first year or two before placing them- selves under training is an important complaint which Coach Farrell has to make of his material. When a man waits until his junior or senior year before reporting as a tryout, even though that man may have a good deal of ability, it is seldom pos- sible to make him into the class of athlete Confer- O PEN SUGARBOWL HOME MADE CANDY ABSOLUTELY CLEAN BEST LINE IN THE CITY EVERYTHING MADE IN ANN ARBOR LIGHT LUNCHES ANN ARBOR SUGAR BOWL Ready to Serve AT ANY TIME Open from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Pot of hot tea and bowl of rice PLAIN CHOP SUEY 85 CENTS CHINESE and AMERICAN Style Short Orders Quan 'T urg Lo 614 LMberty at I. -PAI DING *- , Athletic Equipment For Every Indoor f And Outdoor Sport Catalogue on request A.

Tip to the Boardinghouse Keepers The next time any of the boarders are quite satis- fied with the menu, remark casually.: "Can any of you tell me the difference between a chicken dinner and a mess of prunes?" When all give up and admit they can't tell you the difference, remark in the same casual tone: W.ell, if none of you know the difference, Ix guess I might just as well serve the prunes as chicken."
