during the Christmas recess. Through
the medium of its committees training
is offered in practcally every phase of
the theater. For the women the Jun-
ior Girls' play produced by the Jun-
ior Girls' society is the paramount
dramatic event.
A more scholarly and sedate form
of dram tics is reflected in the Play-
ers club, which was organized on the
community theater basis to give sci-
entific training in playwriting, act-
ing, and managing, to students of
some ability and an inherent interest
in the work. Several pays usually
given in groups of two or three are
produced by this club yealy. The
other organizations mentioned, pre-
sent, in most cases, one play a year,
the quality of which is usually high
enough to warrant the customary
large attendance.
Membership in most of these so-
cieties is generally excluded to first
year students, and is usually by ap-
pointment or election, although not
difficult to attain by any tryout show-
ing diligence and some ability. All of
them are governed by students, and
under the direction of a faculty mem-
ber or outside head. The prospective
candidate for dramatics, be it acting
or some other phase, should seek out
the society corresponding nearest to
his needs and work will be gladly
given him.
Besides the helpful experience
which is acquired through partici-
pation in this field recognition of a
tangible variety is not lacking. Honor-
ary societies exist for those who have
distinguished themselves, foremost
among which is Mimes of the Michi-
gan Union, an organization which
has been identified with the best in
Michigan dramatics since its origin.
Campus dramatics have been stead-
ily rising in the esteem of the stu-
dent body, but in the belief of many
the desired standard of excellence can
be -attained only when there is more
collaboration among the various fac-
,tions.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
TESTING HINDS 
(Daily Cardinal)
Tests of mental alertness have
been adopted to relieve congestion at:
Northwestern university. Students of
exceptional ability are to be permit-
ted to take heavy schedules in order
that they may shorten their courses to
three years.
The problem of the brilliant stu-
dent who is held back by those less
capable is one which all universi-
ties should face. Students of in-
tellectual superiority should be de-
veloped to the limits of their capa-
bility. -
Northwestern has taken a step in
the right direction, but the mere
loading of work on the brilliant willt
not solve the problem.
Brilliant students, under the pres-
ent system, are generally instructed in
the same classes with those less bril-
liant. They hear the same lectures,
use the same texts, work at the same
assignments, progress at the same
rate.
A brilliant student may be retard-
ed by the intellectual plane of a
course as well as by the volume of
work he is allowed to undertake. A
lecture which is difficult of com-
prehension for one student may waste
the time, hinder the progress, of an-
other student.
It is better for a good student to
put in his time on a few courses
adapted to his needs than to take
many simpler courses.
Wisconsin has met this problem to
some extent, and in a logical man-
ner.
This system is !good; it permits,

CHEAP ADVERTISING
Cheap advertising invariably at-
tracts smallishopkeepers or enterpris-
ing salesmen of hot dogs, pot mend-
ing, or gasoline saving devices. Very
often the methods of gaining public-
ity are \quite ingenius, and as long as
the advertisers do, not become offen-
sive in their practices, they deserve
only credt for their energy and per-
severance.
Ann Arbor, however, is from time
to. time beset by certain individuals of
this species who, in order to put a
special brand of something or other
across to the public in the cheapest
manner possible, buy a can of paint
and' splatter up the sidewalks of the
city or campus with signs telling of
the, latest song hit, or how to make
tires last twice as long (by using
them half as much). Nice, reasonable
advertising, with free billboards. All
you have to do is bring your own
paint.
What one ordinary individual in a
city can do, all others should be al-
lowed to. Wouldn't Ann Arbor make
a neat appearance if everyone palnt t
ed his trade, or his favorite fruit, or,
the list of his relatives on the side-
walk in front of his home? It is up
to' the city to take some definite leg-;
islative steps whereby cheap adver-
helps mar the beauty of Ann Arbor's
tising of the type which at present
thoroughfares shall be made expen-
sive to those who practice it.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
3. Dramatises
Probably no activity on the campus.
progresses on a larger scale than does
dramatics. Numerous societies exist,
all dedicated to the production of one
or more .plays a year, and many of-
fering training in playwriting, stage
direction, publicty work, and manag-
ing, as well as in acting. Each so-
ciety is mutually exclusive of the rest
and little attempt at union or collabo-
ration is made.
The- best known and perhaps the
most momentous of the organizations
of dramatic bent are Mimes of the
Michigan Union, through its annual
production the Michigan, Opera, the

INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL
There has been considerable com-
-ment and wondering over the fact
that intramural football, which a few
years ago was so-popular at Michigan,
has been discontinued. A movement
is now being considered by the .intra.-
mural department which will rein-
state that branch of sport. It is
planned to begin on a small scale
by organizing four class teams, and
expanding in future years as success
justifies.
Intramural football had to be giv-
en up at Michigan two years ago sim-
ply because the participants failed to
realize the exactions of so strenuous
a game. They did not indulge in the
weeks of constant effort to put them,
selves in physical condition, such' as
the Varsity team does. They imag-
ined that they could jump right into
the game and stand the strain. Ex-
perience showed they were mistaken,
and many casualties resulted, some
being quite serious.
During the last year a number of
boxers and cross-country men have
similarly injured themselves by
jumping into the sport with little or
ho preliminary training. This is a
problem with which the intramural
department must contend. They are
planning to solve it through the serv-
ices of a coach who will see that the
men indulging in such strenuous
sports as boxing, cross-country, or
football, are thoroughly hardened to
the strain before they enter into any
competition.
Much is to be said in favor of in-
tramural football, and its return
would be heartily welcome. Yet if it
is to be a permanent institution, and
a beneficial one, the participating ath-
letes must realize that no man can
jump from a summer of compara-
tively "soft" work into a stiff, honest-
to-goodness football game, and not be
the worse for his folly.
No successful Varsity team does it.
No other team can afford to try.
NO CAUSE FOR WORRY
tA scientist recently announced that;
this earth of ours was made of a
jelly-like consistency which might go
to pieces at any time. His statement
caused considerable alarm from those
who are wont to take such foretell-
ings seriously. But a moment's hon-
est reflection will dispell all gloom.
As far as we know, at least for the
past six thousand years, things in the
planetary world have been doing
their bisiness in an orderly way. The
sun has been rising and setting on 
schedule and the moon has regulated
the tides all right and things on the
whole have been performed very de-
pendably. So that despite the prog,
nosticating of gloomy scientists the
old earth, sun, moon, stars, and sat-
telites have won and deserve our Im-
plicit confidence.

Communication to The Michigan
Daily:
A recent editorial in your paper
spoke of the lack of individuality
among American students. Not long
ago a French professor who visited
the United States is reported to have
lamented this same fact, stating that
American students were all too ready
to believe everything he said. But it
is more than likely that he is plac-
ing the blame on the students unjust-
ly. If what this foreigner says is
true, and students do believe every-
thing professors say, it is largely be-
cause they are expected to do so.
As courses are given today, a class
of several hundred meets with the
professor tWo or three times a week
and he lectures to them, giving them
his theories of the subject at issue.
There is little means of knowing what
they have learned, except by the pe-
riodical giving of "blue books". But
when questions are asked in these
"blue books", the student is expected
to remember what the professor has
said. There are no two or three an-
swers to the question-there is only
one--the one which the professor had
given out in lectures. Students know
this. They -.know that under the
present systm professors seldom if
ever present any incorrect theories
or statements. They are so accustom-
ed to taking everything as true that is
heard in lecturg, that it is second na-
ture for them.
A startling statement from the pro-
fessor now and then might shock them

It will pay you to
listen.to this music.

LL over the country the whistle is blowing for
. ,the kick-off, the start of that great gane--
another college year.
Be on your toes when the whistle blows. A good
start will carry you well on toward your goal.
Let the football candidate, start by working
away till his muscles ache from bucking the line.
Let the aspirant for manager put in careful
study of his team's needs, always eager to help
-arranging atrip or carrying a pail of water.
Let the publications man be alert for news and
fireless in learning the details of editorial work.
Whatever activity you come out for, crowd a
lot of energy into these early Fall days.
And if a good start helps win campus honors,
it helps win class room honors, too. The sure way
to be up in your work is to aim now for regularity
at lectures, up-to-date note-books and particular
attention to the early chapters of text-books, thus
getting a grip on the basics.
This is best in the long run, and-selfishly-it is
easiest in the long run. That is, if life after college is
made easier by the things a bigger income can buy.
