Betron MORE INFORMAL CONFABS Appearing in Thursday's issue of The Daily was a communication which advocated the holding of discussion groups between faculty members and students for the exchange of ideas on politics, litera- ture, archaeology, science, art, and kindred sub- jects. Immediately, officials at the Union took ac- tion in the matter, and have since announced that if sentiment in most quarters seems to favor it, the project will be commenced with the opening of the second semester. The plan appears to be a good one and to be close- ly related to, though not in conflict with, that up- held by the Student Christian association, in foster- ing discussion groups in fraternity-houses on topics pertaining to religion, philosophy, and ethics. The value of discussion between faculty mem- bers and students on serious topics is easily ap- paretit. The teacher who functions as a leader is -apt to have a mature viewpoint. On the other hand, the student whose opinions will be perhaps more radical and not so well founded, by being en- couraged to make his contribution to discussion ought to derive much benefit. Of course, the op- portunity presents itself for this sort of thing in the classroom, but the formal procedure and rou- tine work there hinders spontaneus expression. As the writer of the communication indicates, the student will receive more inspiration from hearing a faculty man lead in informal consideration of varying topics than from listening to him for an hour in the lecture room. Evidence suggests that the faculty of the literary college favors the plan for discussion groups. The range of subjects mentioned is wide enough to be of likely interest to enough students in and out of fraternity houses to insure the success of the pro- ject. Should the plan be inaugurated, it will be notable that two of-the leading organizations on the campus will be fostering discussion groups, those of the Union open to everyone and treating a variety of subjects, and those of the S. C. A. confined to fraternity men and limited to topics within the realm of religion and the like. Every student on the campus who is interested should be able to find an outlet for his opinions in one or the other groups. PANNING THE AMATEUR PSYCHO Ascertaining what life work is best fitted for, which hitherto-fore has been the subject for much deliberation, has been simplified by an amateur psychologist in Detroit who, by performing a few simple experiments in psycho-analysis, professes to be able to tell accurately whether an individual is fitted to be a banker, an artist, or an ordinary tramp. This practice appears to be another manifesta- tion of the tendency, painfully evident in the past year or two, toward making a popular fad out of psycho-analysis by applying it to religion, matters of state, and even love affairs. Such experiments as those performed by the psycho-analyst in anes- tion have been proved by authorities, at the Uni- versity and elsewhere, to be of no determinant value whatever in finding out what work another is best fitted to undertake. Science, though it has gone forward by leaps and bounds in the past century, has not progressedfar enough as yet to mnake such a thing possible. Doubtless simply by studying hu- man nature, a man can acquire some knowledge in this direction which will be of benefit to himself and others. But to pass this knowledge on under the guise of psycho-analysis is asinine. Psycho-analysis in itself is a highly developed science and should be left to a few research stu- dents who are capable of practicing it. It has no general application and cannot be popularized. "PYGMALION" With the announcement recently that the Regents have authorized the building of a new campus the ater at the University comes the statement that Michigan will soon become a leader in the field of dramatic educational development. But, after all, by this addition she will be strengthening her form- er position rather than branching out on any radical- ly new fields. In the past, a number of campus organizations have worked along dramatic lines with exceptional- ly high artistic aims in mind, and have staged pro- ductions yearly which combined skill of direction with almost professonal excellency of acting. They have been greatly hampered continually by lack of proper facilities for the handling of plays, and this need for the proper working tools of the stage will be taken care of by the new Michigan theater. But these campus organizations, despite all manner of difficulties and despite only moderate support from the campus at large, have labored so consistently and with such excellent results to raise the stand- ard of Michigan drama that their efforts have gone down in the annals of the amateur stage hereabouts as deserving of the utmost praise. Notable among the organizations whose work has reached such a high level of dramatic excellence are Masques and Comedy club. The former's "Quality Street," of three years ago, will never be forgotten, while the productions of the latter have been such as to bring out annually the most en- thusiastic expressions of approval from those who are in a position to know what is good and worth- while in the drama. "Pygmalion," the first of George Bernard Shaw's works to be played here by an amateur cast, is sched- uled for Wednesday night as this year's offering of Comedy Club. Eventually, when our theater is an accomplished fact, this sort of thing is going to "go big" at Michigan, and certainly the efforts and skill exhibited by campus dramatic groups in the past warrent the enthusiastic support of every one who likes the spice of a good play, well presented. Two months ago, Detroit newspaper solons were giving Arthur Brisbanes Times just six weeks to live; but, with a doubled circulation, the Times ap- pears to be a rather husky corpse. All of which goes to prove that Mr. Brisbane being an adept at the sloppification of red ink, has learned the knack of capturing the subscription bird by copiously sprinkling the salt of sensationalism upon its tail. Step forward men ! Fear not that the chocolate bars are poisonous or the "Crispettes" damaging to one's digestive machinery simply because the ladies sell hair-nets as well as confections at their campus tables. If Coach Farrell has to wait much longer for track material, it might pay us to take on the local high school as opponents in our first meet. "'!t ltlltt lltlttttn ltlltltl ttlIttt!lllll lltt nill!
