nsurgent movement directed against the pro-
al stage and having as its object the estab-
it of community or art theaters in every city,
,nd hamlet is sweeping the country. Toledo
f the recent cities to join the insurgents. The
fishing characteristics of the community the-
e that art is made to predominate, and that
ing is subordinated'to the one purpose of
a mood and having all scenic and exterior
in harmony with that mood. The advo-
f the community theater are staunchly op-
o the practice of the professional stage in
a star or in setting anyone on a higher
aan his fellow actors.
a system as advocated by this movement is
ideal for our smaller cities, but it is
d if the community theater will ever gain
headway against the professional stage in our large
metropolises.
In the first place the average city of moderate'
size is suffering for want of well acted, clean le-
gitimate productions. It is dependent upon theat-
rical magnates in New York city for its amusement
and the number of poor plays is as a rule far in ex-
cess of the good ones. It is no wonder that cities
such as Toledo have -rebelled in the face of such
treatment and turned to the community theater.
Furthermore under this plan the manager and act-
ors are as a rule competent and the fact that no one
is starred helps insure the success of the project as
there is little danger of .the public losing interest
should the leading actor leave the cast, as is often
the case with professional companies.
But in our large metropolises where the best of
productions with the best of casts are shown the
success of the community theater as a competitor
of the professional stage is problematical. In these
cities the audiences are made up largely of busi-
ness men and visitors; people who go to the theater
solely for amusement and who demand action more
than anything else. These people are used to the
best the professional stage can offer and they want
it. They are little interested in art but very much
so in highly press agented stars. Consequently it
is not likely that they can be readily educated to ap-
preciate the offerings of the community theater.
There is a large field for the extension of the art
theater in our smaller cities, but at the present time
it seems hardly plausible that the community thea-
ter will ever supersede the professional stage as the
center of attraction in the larger cities of the coun-
try.
SERVING BY REFUSING
One of the principal faults to be found with the
organization hereabouts for the carrying on of the
various works of the campus is the fact that so
many so-called B. M. O. C.'s, men whose time is
already taken up with countless important positions,
are chosen to act on various and sundry commit-
tees and what-not. The result is that all too fre-
quently these men, being mere humans, let a good
deal of their work go by default, and do justice
really to only their main interests.
Occasionally, however, we find someone big
enough and unselfish enough to withdraw from
some committee, simply because he realizes that he
would be unable to do it full justice. To do such
a thing requires a considerable amount of charac-
ter. To be able to see ahead the distinction of a
veritable dictionary of activities and positions listed
in the Michiganensian is a great temptation to fol-
low the plan of trying anything once, regardless of
the fact that many of the items may mean little as
far as effort, time or results are concerned.
The overly busy man, who is willing to forego the
pleasure of seeing a mile-long array after his name
in the final count, in order that the work of the
campus may be more effectually conducted, is do-
ing the University a big service and deserves rec-
ognition for his unselfishness and good spirit.
More than thirty years ago a medic student won
a pie eating contest by devouring the food in seven
seconds flat. A young la'dy came in with a close
second, accomplishing the feat in ten seconds. What
wonders time hath wrought! From our personal
observations we would say that the average young
lady of today' could place third with perfect ease
in five seconds flat.
A New Orleans judge says that boys' bad habits
are due to physical ills and the modern physician's
common plaint is that physical ills are due to bad
habits. It must be the vicious circle again.
As far as the lower tier goes, a double deck sta-
dium such as is being built at O. S. U. wouldn't
have gone bad at some of the drizzly games seen
at Ferry field.

My Roommate
When I am sleeping snug and sound,
To slumberland with Morpheus bound,
Who throws his shoes, like bricks, around?
My roommate.
When I've removed all signs of dirt,
And in my best am almost girt,
Who, pray, has swiped my one silk shirt?
My roommate.
All day I work, my desk's piled high
With Ec and Math and Poli Sci,
Yet who pulls "A's"? Alas, not I,
My roommate.
The president I fain would bej
And rule the land from sea to sea ;
But who would jump ahead of me?
My roommate.
