Howlett He is under no further obligation to the merchant. Finis. But an educations is not, like buying a coat, a commercial deal. A man spends four of the best years of his life, or six, as the case may be, in a teeming little uni- verse called a university. He forms certain hab- its ; receives breadth of vision ; obtains strength of purpose; acquires that intangible something known as "polish". He loses the brilliant green hue he aired upon arrival. He takes on the qualities and attributes of an educated man. He learns to think for himself. In return for his nurture, this development of mind and body, he gives - what? A few dollars perhaps. He pays a small tuition which does not approach the cost of the education which lie has re- ceived. But the finer, more worth-while qualities which he learns as a student are beyond mere price. The friends he makes, the experience he receives --- who can measure these in dollars and cents ? Many years ago it was said, "A man lives within himself." A man can look at a university as a finan- cial transaction, in which he is given the privilege of sitting in certain seats in payment of a specified number of dollars. He can pay a certain amount of money and leave the institution with a sheepskin neatly lettered - cost ten dollars -value ten dol- lars. Or he can enter into the spirit of learning with joy and pride in the doing. He need not necessar- i y be an "A" student, but he is at the University for a purpose and knows what that purpose is. He tastes the joys of the different phases of college life, without which it degenerates into a memory contest. He meets others. He gains all there is to be obtained from life. Most important, he gives' something of himself -in return. To some a university education may mean merely so many hours of grind, so much money expended. But to the broader man - the wiser man - a uni- versity education means a ripening of powers and a building of friendships - a fruitful valley to be remembered with genuine satisfaction in the whole long course of his life's journey. The blue laws are now firmly established in Can- ada. As proof, we find among our exchanges a clipping from the University of Toronto publica- tion, which announces a meeting of its staff for a certain afternoon and adds, "Everyone out. Tea will be'served." According to statements issued by the Institute of American Meat Packers retail meat prices have declined from eleven to forty per cent in the last five months. We hope it's true, but we'd never guess it from eating in Ann Arbor. ~ The Telescope HOW LONG GIRLS SHOULD BE COURTED -News head. .While we are no authority on the subject, we im- aginq in about the same way as short girls.

Burchell OTHERS SAY: COURTESY FOR MICHIGAN (From the Daily Illini, Sunday, Mar. 6) It was regrettable that the Illinois basketball team should be mistreated by Michigan fans at the recent Ann Arbor game between the Illini and Wolverine teams. The flare of un- sportsmanlike attitude was wholly un- expected from a Conference crowd, and has been the cause of wonderment by Illinois followers since. Yet any undesirable actions on the part of rowdies in Michigan bleachers does not warrant a like treatment of the Michigan team when it appears on the Gym Annex floor. What Mich- igan permits is Michigan's business. Illinois' business is to maintain her own high standards of sportsmanship. The excellent reputation we have earned through years of consistent ef- fort to establish ourselves first, last and always as courteous hosts must never be sulliedby a single infraction of our conduct code. When the Michigan team engages our own at the Gym Annex tomorrow night let the reception accorded it be in keeping with Illinois' past record. Two Engagements Announced Word has been received of the en- gagement of Catherine S. Frost, '19, of Kalamazoo, to John H. Engel, '17E; of Detroit. Miss Frost is a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority and Mr. Engel belongs to the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity. Kathryn C. Prakkan, '21, of Holland, announced her engagement to Justus R. Huntly, '21, of Holland, at a din- ner Iarty Saturday night at Martha Cook building. Mr. Huntly is a mem- ber of the Phi Gamma Delta fratern- ity.

Night Editor-THOMAS H. ADAMS. WILL "BUNTY" PULL THE CROWD? Michigan has had her very fair share of notable playwrights and actors. University training may have had much to do, in a general and cultural way, with their success. But as far as specialized study and practice of the sort of drama they have written and performed is concerned, the inspiration has come after, and n ot during, college days. We have had no proper field for the trial of talent. The at- mosphere of devotion to the lighter and jollier sort of production -- Opera, SpotlighteMinstrels - has taken possession of the student mind; and men and women who haste looked for practice in the more general and representative drama of the day, have found few opportunities, and even those have been looked down upon or neglected by the campus until this fall. The Comedy club has hewn to the line through years of indifference, searching each winter for the most worth-while and presentable piece of modern popular drama with a "happy ending" and putting months of effort into the attempt to approximate the art which crowds metropolitan theaters. Perhaps this year's play, "Bunty Pulls the Strings," with its quaint, wholesome beauty of plot and the charm of its dialect, has been too fortunately chosen to be compared honestly with the productions of the past, some of which, willy-nilly, have failed to "go over" in spite of all the hard work in the world. But al- ways there has been sincerity, and, within the lim- its set by the sometimes unworthy vehicle and the necessarily amateur cast, a production worthy of' double the audiences which have been too usual in the past - and too critical. But this year we have had a dramatic renais- sance. New clubs to promote the art have been formed; new interest in the play whose attraction is lasting instead of local and temporary is in the air; special courses in playwriting, dramatic tech- nique, and acting have found a remarkable response. It is perhaps hardly the time to suggest that the union of all this splendid energy under the banner of the Comedy club would be the greatest step yet to be taken to vitalize Michigan's progress in popu- lar drama; the enthusiasm in itself is so reassur- ing a sign, that the future may be counted on to take care of itself. 1 Graham Moffett's delightful story of "Bunty" and the influence of her charming depth of insight over the lives of Tammas and Rab and the rest of the humorous west-Scotland characters is worth seeing if just for the sake of its humor-brimming lines and its living plot. As Michigan's greatest evidence of an active and striving interest in the best modern comedy, "Bunty" should have an ad- ditional and local "pull" upon us which ought to pack the Whitney tonight. There is plenty of room on the campus for an enthusiasm in popular drama equaling that which now greets the Opera. MORE THAN A DEAL IN KNOWLEDGE Too many university graduates think of.their ed- ucation as a business transaction. A man goes to a certain store and buys a coat. He wears the garment home and forgets all about the matter. He has the coat and the merchant has the money. The merchant is not indebted to him.

They follow me tho' I say "tut" - I like it. They make such a real fuss over me, I know it's wrong as wrong can be, I should not let 'em, but you see, I like it. They tell me I'm a beauty, too, I know for truth that it's not true, Butwhat's one lone co-ed to do? I like it. Not a spot-light, melodrama, revue, nor mu- sical comedy, but a clever reproduction of actual cafe life in France. Written and produced en-' tirely by men who were "over there," aided by typical doughboys, bucks, black boys, shave- tails, majes, British Tommies, French Poilus, Chic Mademoiselles. Representation of those battles not fought on the "lines" but behind them: original,-a bit dar- ing,-realistic, and with enough seriousness to be worth while.
