THE STORY OF ACTIVITIES For the benefit of the many stu- dents who are interested in the stu- dent activities at Michigan, and who hesitate to enter these activities sole- ly becauseof their lack of knowledge in regard to them and the consequent uncertainty as to which will best fit their abilities, The Daily will pub- lish during the coming week a series of editorials giving information con- cerning these various student pur- suits and the manner of procedure in trying out for them. The strong endorsers of extra- academic activities are legion, and few indeed deny the benefits wihch they bestow, provided the student worker keeps in mind the primary ob- ject at the University, - the pursuit of his studies. The experience reaped in connection with campus activities, as well as the friendships gained and the broadening influence exerted, are among the most desirable factors of college life:, and amply repay the man or woman who devotes his time to them. But at this period of the year en- ergy and ambition run high, and with great things in mind the young stu- dent often enters one activity after an- other, with reckless disregard to the time which he can give each, only thinking of the opportunities which await him and of his service to Mich- igan. Sooner or later this individual will find to his bitter disappointment that not only have his scattered at- tentions resulted in his failure to succeed in any one activity, but that his studies have also been seriously endangered by neglect. The student who is to accomplish something both for Michigan and for himself, will first see to it that his studies are well cared for. Then he gill carefully choose the activity, be it a publication, athletic, drama, or any other branch, for which he thinks himself best adapted, and proceed to devote the time not demanded by his studies to a whole hearted and uni- fied pursuit of success in that ac- tivity. Just like the sun glass, which has no power when its rays remain scat- tered or unfocused, but 'which cre- ates on intense hat when th sP rauvs m ed, but at present, there is little evi- dence of this danger. Individual thought is at a premium here as else- where. The American college man seems to be content to accept what is given him, and to say little about it. College education' has ifnquestion- ably a broadening eeffct in that it opens to the student the wide pano-. rama of the past, but such training falls far short of its purpose if the recipient does not use the thoughts of yesterday with the intention of better coping with the needs of to- morrow. Classical antiquity should be satisfying, but there is no reason why it should not be stimulating as well. To use the old in creating the new is a mark of sagacity, but to make no use of abilities, inherent or acquir- ed, is the sign of inevitable stagna- tion. THE LECTURE PROGRAM That old time-tired, thread-bare apothegm, "Opportunity knocks but once," we are going to use again. This time not to point a moral of general application but to urge the attention of all students hereabouts to a mat- ter of immediate interest. Through the untiring efforts of the Oratorical association ten men of un- doubted merit have been secured who appearing from time to time through- out the year will constitute one of the best lecture programs ever offered at Michigan. These men profess to have thoughts that breathe and their reputations as public speakers also evidence that they have the ability to give utter-. ance to-these thoughts in words that burn. Admission to their lectures is nominal in price, and each student should make it his duty and consider it a privilege to attend them. iziig smell of hot, white popcorn- State street- Bustling-Youthful - Autumnal.

But wouldn't it be nice if, next year, they would give sandwiches, consid- ering the length of time one waits? "No one has kissed me 'against my our property. No one would scratch their initials on a chair at home, or would anyone consider painting num- erals or defacing the walls of their house. Let's be more careful and think twice before we do anything that is not for the best interests of our school. THE PRICE OF JAZZ (The Daily Cardinal) Dancing is Wisconsin's greatest in- door sport. Every week end night the Latin quarter shrieks and moans with al conglomerate conflict of syncopated sound. Intermittent laughter comes from fraternity and sorority houses, temporary temples of jazz.
