Too much has already been said
about the rules at Michigan being
a vain for made b the women themselves. The
from a difficulty is that the co-ed at Michi-

old aues- ft 'the two general classes of women
students at Michigan, the young and
incapable, and the mature and sen-
sible. The former are sent to Michi-
gan by their doting parents-who are
secure in the faith that their darlings
are spasmodically dosed with the
semi-parental authority exercised at
Michigan. The latter rebel, not often
audibly (to the proper people) but
are told that they have no cause, for
indeed did they not make the rule
themselves? Most likely the rules
were made by a few representatives of
women's houses and faculty members.
These obnoxious rules are like so
many monkeywrenches thrown iito
the machinery of the University-but
who can pick them out? Even though
the women themselves do not put
them in, they are the only ones who!
will ever be able to take them out, for
it only remains for a large enough'
group of older women students-not

more restriction, why not put them all
in the dormitories (I think the few
dormitories at Michigan would hold
all the infants) and confine them to
the nursery, and allow the grown-ups
some freedom? If this failed, a separ-
ate "younger girls' school" i
formed, just as they do in
S
boarding schools.
"Women Must Act"
The "Male Observer" observed well
when he remarked that most of the
activities .undetraken by women at
Michigan have an element of utter
futility. They do and always will have
the women themselves change their
present attitude of half-hearted and
indifferent rebellion toward unjust au-
thority. Would that there were a few
feminine "G.D.E's." not quite so con-
ceited as he perhaps, but as refresh-
ingly truthful. The only place one
hears of Women's Activities is on the
third or fourth page of the Daily,
crowded way into a corner by the ads.
I know that the women at Michigan
do interesting things besides insert-
ing not.ices in the Women's column;
why can't we hear about them? If the
co-eds of Michigan don't need a gov-
erness, then let them "speak right up."
I shall wait before I "snicker."
