OVERTON Assistants-R: M. Loeb R. B. Tarr# THE COMMITTEE EXPLAINS your main reasons of the Committee on Dramatic anizations for recommending recently to the late Committee and Student Affairs that the Jun- Girls' play, "Scepters and Serenades", should be opened to the pulic as requested in a recent. tion ,submitted by the women of the cast and rus, were published in yesterday's Daily. Al- ugh the four reasons very apparently' had been rked out carefullybefore being subhitted to the nmittee on Student Affairs, ,The Daily does not I that they are at all adequate, or that they jus- the committee's action. he reasons given were in part as follows: I. "This issue should not .be clouded by the stion of raising. funds for the league building. e principle involved is too important to be sub- inated to any extraneous consideration, however ghty." The committee fails to state the "prin- Le involved", but it is to be assumed that it act- ly is "too important to be subordinated", etc. It st be a weighty principle indeed. Better far to the women sell shoe laces, candy, hair nets, and atnot, on the campus, to shine shoes, and solicit" rnnae for subscriptions, seeking thereby to se- e every pittance available to swell their building d, than, by making it possible for them to earn eral hundred or a thousand dollars at a single e, -to subordinate such an all-important principle this - a principle which, however, as yet re- ins undefined. . "In making this decision we have no desire to rart the will of students in the matter of college Iition that is primarily their own concern. We eve, however, that our attitude truly expresses sober second thought of both men and women." is is not a reason for the action of the commit- rather, it is but an attempted justification of members' attitude. That leaves but three rea- s. Meanwhile, The Daily, as opposed to the imittee, does not believe that this attitude ex- sses the feeling of any but a small portion of the n and women on the campus. ". A change from the present type audience, . . . to one o'f a less homogeneous t," says the committee, "would inevitably tend nodify the standards which years of growth have ated." Again The Daily -would call attention to previous mention of Professor Brumm's state-. its that he had no intention, so long as he was cting the Junior Girls' play, of permitting a ering of its standards. 7 he Daily would repeat e more the fact that, although the play has been tten and produced for years with the expecta- each time that it was to be opened to the pub- its character and standards have been steadily ed rather than lowered. "The most important aspect of this question is bearing upon the very texture of the social life of the student body and we believe that one of the most distinctive features of undergraduate life at Michigan is the independent, self-contained ex- istence which the women of the University have al- ways been able to maintain." The Daily fails to understand how opening the Junior Girls' play to the general public for several performances, at the, same time retaining the custom of having the first night performance for senior girls, would take away the independent attitude of the women, any more than opening the Union opera has affected the at- titude of the men. So long as the play is written and staged by women, with girls composing the en- tire cast and chorus, it can never be called anything but a woman's activity and function. The presence of men in the audience - after the first night - is not going to affect its standing as such. The dramatic cpmmittee goes on with: "Just as the men have jealously guarded certain of their interests from feminine encroachment, so the women have preserved a dignified aloofness in re- gard to cherished activities of their own." As a matter of fact, the men "have jealously guarded" only one "of their interests from feminine en- croachment" - the Tap room. Yet the women's building undoubtedly will have at least one similar retreat, which women students, like the men, can call their own. Further: "All these traditions and customs which' have established and strengthened this quality of our student life" - "a dignified aloofness" presum, ably - "and its attendant atmosphere should be faithfully and vigorously observed. Their gradual weakening or deliberate abolition would in time re- sult in a deterioration to the conditions 'which exist. in certain institutions where neither the men nor the women have any real college life of their own". But President Marion L. Burton does not want the two groups to stand aloof, though, at the same time, he does not ask that they necessarily should be de- pendent upon one another. His attitude is rather clearly indicated by his speeches, in which he reg- ularly speaks of men and women together, not as distinctly separate. STRETCH THOSE MUSCLES Not so long ago,.a call went out asking men who were interested in special athletic work to file their names at the office of Waterman gymnasium. So far, only a few have taken advantage of the ,op- portunity. Although the active work will not begin until after the spring holidays, it is not too early to sign up for the class now. Early registration will greatly facilitate the arrangement of the work to be undertaken. It seems only fair to those who are in charge that all applications be in the proper hands as far ahead of time as is possible. If skepticism is the reason for the scarcity of names on file, careful consideration of the advan- tages of such work will dispel any doubt. Aside from the ordinary benefits and pleasures of gym- nasium work, there is much else to recommend the project. Plans have been made to take up ad- vanced work, and, toward the end of the season, to a arrange several competitiverevents. At a slight ex- penditure 'of effort, much real enjoyment could be bought. It seems as if the old bugaboo of the student, in- ertia, is again at work. But the classes are 'still being held open for more applicants.

He was finished with more than thirty of them (And here comes the mean part) When the University had him arrested. Think of it ! Arrested! And guesswhy they did it. It was' just another foolish argument. They' said that this tattooer - (And by the way remember this is April i) That he was harming the University Because he had designs On so many of the students.

Although much enthusiasm was shown in the giv- ing of these cheers, some individuals accuse the rooters of unjust partiality.
