MORIARTY 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. article of more than three hundre words cannot be accepted owing to limited space, and the name of the contributor must be signed as an evi- dence of good faith, although they name will not necessarily have to bed published.

OUT OF THE LOWER CLASSES 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.

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 WHAT - do you want in a restaurant?
