THE ONE SEMESTER LEASE
With the close of a week of 'regis-
tration,' enrollment figures indicate
that the abnormal years of University
expansion are at an end, and that
Michigan has settled back to her nor-
inal rate of growth. Meanwhile, the
landladies of Ann Arbor, guided by
the immense demand of'recent .years
for lodgings and the consequet t rise
in prices, have thrown additional
rooms into the market, resulting in
the situation 'that with the great ma-
jority of the students already housed,
a large number of. rooms are still un-
rented, and the rates on these are
rapidly being reduced in a final effort
to attract tenants.
Many students, instead of signing
the University "ease" ,coverin only
one ,semester, have made eithei 'yrit-
ten or verbal agreements with land-
ladies c4vering an entire school year
Most of these men have agreed to pay
prices which by the end of the first
semester will seem high, owing tg the
abundance of rooms for rent. Never-
theless, they have morally bound,
themselves and under ordinary condi-
tions -will be expected to carry out
the terms which they have made. It
is only in instances where dissatisfac-
tion is warranted by some factor not
in the original agreement that th
University will grant the case consid-
eration.
According th reports, however, the'
majority of those already located have
signed the written agreements cover-
ing one semester, which have been'
recommended by the University. I j
these men feel in February that their
rent is unreasonably high, or if they
are otherwise dissatisfied, they are,
free to make new arrangements, eith-
er with their old landladies or in
some new location. This agreement
also safeguards the landlady, should
she find her tenant to be undesirable.
Obviously then, the single semester
"lease" is the one most fair to all
concerned, and students make other
terms only when they are forced to by
the necessity of obtaining rooms.
Rooms are plentiful now, however,
and those who are not yet located;
should insist that their agreement be
the recommended University "lease."
If certain landladies refuse to make
REVIEWING OUR A. B. CS
Ann Arbor, always an educational
center, is at present undergoing an,
entirely new form of education, the
course in which covers a period of
two weeks. "Safety First" is the ti-
tle, and every inhabitant of Ann Ar-
bor has been enrolled. Feeling that
the subject is a fundamental one, the
Ann Arbor branch of the Detroit Au-
tomobile Club, which is sponsoring
the program, has harkened back to
the very first principles of learning
and set out to teach anew to every
man, woman and child, the A B C's.
At every important corner and ev-
ery dangerous crossing posters have
already been placed bearing the A BC
of safety, "Always Be Careful." In
addition to this a well planned cam-
paign is being carried on to instill a
feeling of responsibility among those
driving, cars, and of caution in pedes-
trians. Copies of the new traffic reg-
ulations, recently passed by the City,
are to be distributed. Lectures will
be given. In short, every means will
be employed in order to reduce Ann
Arbor's unnecessary accident list to
an irreducible minimum.
Student drivers, whose youthful
optimism and consequent recklessness
often leads to unwarranted speed,
must cooperate with the police and
the citizens who are trying to make
Ann Arbor a safer place to live, or
they will pay the penalty of the strin-
gent punishment which is at presenli
being meted out for infringement of
traffic regulations. Ignorance of the
law will not be accepted as an ex-'
eise for violating the rules.
And on the other hand, it will be
to the advantage of some of our aim-
lessly wandering colleagues who
cross roadways while reading their
morning newspapers or preparing for
the day's classes ,to prick up their
ears, stop, look and. listen,' and re-
member that it is better to be care-
ful beforehand than sorry afterwards.
MCHIGAN'S BAND
In a finished piece of machinery;
there are numerous parts of varying
sizes, which, by reason of the mag-
nitude of the whole, are often neg-
lected by the unpracticed eye. Nev-
ertheless, all are essential. Such a
part is the Michigan band in the gen-
eral spirit and reputation of the Uni-
yersity. Consider but for an instant
what the campus turn-outs would be
without'it. Visualize a football game
minus the band; it would become va-
pid, almost lifeless. Certainly music
4has, charms, but it has power too. It
is the elixir which revivities both ath-
letes and spectators.
Besides this function on the ath-
letic field, the organization on its tours
proves a connecting link between the
Michigan of today and the alumni
body. Moreover, by its appearanc
and performance, individuals who
have had no experience with the Uni-
versity mould their opinion concern-
ing one of the phases of student ac-
tivity. 1
Although the band does a valuai
ble service to the University, its mem-
bers receive little or no material rec-
ompense. The time they devote is re-
paid largely in the satisfaction of
having been of use to Michigan. Ac
cording to its director, the esprit du
corps of the band is remarkable. This,
he attributes solely to the warm re-
ception and appreciation. the campus
has always shown it. In return the
organization is ever willing to serve,
never selfish. a
In spite of this, however, the band
is handicapped by lack of equipment.
Other universities have spent lavish
sums and even doubled their bands
in size for the, sake of appearance.
Michigan does not care to be extrav-
agant, and 'she would rather keep a
smaller band of good musicians than
increase the size at the cost of qual-
ity. Nevertheless, the uniforms now
in use have been in service with the
band since 1913. At present there is a
petition before the Regents for new
clothing for the men. Some consider-
ation should be given this request, ,
it is at all possible. The band has
earned new uniforms.

I EDITORIAL COMMENT
CAMPUS POLITICS
(The Indiana Student)
The game of politics, as it is played
upon the average American campus,
is usually smiled indulgently upon as
a sort of harmless pastime where the
stakes are not very great and where
dishonest practices have little influ-'
ence for good or bad either in the
destinies of the institutions where
they are perpetuated, upon the lives
of those engaged in the game, or in
the ultimate ideals of the nation. This
is partcularly the case where abuses
are not very great or very noticeable
as in our own institution of Indiana.
However, there are always those
who are lured by an intrigue, whether
it is real or imagined, whose influence!
is directed towards a regime of se-
crecy and maneuvering, and who oc-
casionally need to be reminded of the
higher aims found within campus af-
fairs. It is a fact often proved by,
experience in larger communities, as#
well as in our own, that constant vig-
ilance is required to prevent a rever-
sion of control into the hands-of a few,
and now that within a few weeks a
large number of positions of student
leadership will be decided, it seems
well to express a few precautionary
observations. /
In the minds of many there is al-
ways the attitude that electing offi-
cers to classes and organizations is
a matter of politics; that it is a ques-
tion of who will get an honor, what
clique will gain a prestige, or what
element of the student body will gain
a power. Such pettiness, however, is
far beneath the actual facts. In the
choice of our leaders depends the way
in which we shall impress outsiders.
Officers of many organizations hav '
duties to perform which bring them

ON THE WRONG TRACK t
(The Daily Californian)a
Some. professors will go to almost
any extreme to save their courses from
the reputation of being "pipes." Some
students will go to absolutely every
extreme to arrange a program of
"snap" subjects.
So starts a semesterly contest to
see whether the "pipe-hunter" gets by
with his little game or whether thq
conscientious instructor is able to in-
stitute a sufficient "tightening up" to
eliminate such undesirables. So far,
the struggle is a draw, the ultimate
outcome depending upon which fac-
tion will resort to the greater ex-
tremes.
The student who has so entirely
failed to realize his purpose in col-
lege as to set his goal at the maxi-,
mum number of units with the miniI
mum amount of study is not worthy
of- the taxes paid to make his educa-
tion possible.. Some method of either' "
changing him or ridding the Univer-
sity of him should, by all means, be
devised.
This is just what some professors
are attempting to accomplish, but their
methods are wrong. One type of
means is to require an unreasonable
amount of outside reading measured
in mere number of pages, whether or
no the reading is vital to an under-
standing of the course. In the same
line comes report after report of a
specified number of words. Many ad-
mit that there are too many and they
are too long to be thoroughly read or
corrected.
Another means is exemplified by the
efforts to forestall original enrollment.
This was accomplishedby one instruc-
tor by starting the class in a remot:
Agriculture building and later chang 1
ing it to Wheeler hall and omitting
a Saturday 8 o'clock section after the
study cards had been filed.
These methods may relieve the sit-!
uation temporarily, but they consti-
tute no permanent remedy.
Original Oinking (and concentra-
tion on applications of the principles
learned in class and in the text are
the elements which should be intro-
duced. "Pipe-hunters" will not want
courses in which they' have to think.
If problems applying to the courses
could only be assigned instead of so
much outside reading the problem
would be solved. True, the classes
are large and the courses here con-
sidered are of the less mathematical
type, but still it would be practicable
to give a principle - then arrange
