The an- nouncement of the "leading students" in the University of Chicago, with the omission of nearly two hundred "hon- or" students, while a distinct shock to many, is but indicative of the mod- ern trend of thought. With all due respect to the members of Phi Beta Kappa, and similar organizations, bas- ed on proficiency in the field of know- , ledge, it is obvious that intellectual achievement alone does not consti- j tute success. As Dean Wilkins, ofI the western institution stated, "a lead- ing student is one who possesses manyj qualities which promise growth and I attainment in leadership?" Just as an all-round athlete is more advanced than one who has developed ability in a single sport, so a student with many qualities for leadership is great- er than one who has but received high marks in his studies.

Winter Night Editor-PHILIP M. WAGNER SUNDAY, MARCH 9, .1924 A JUST INTERPRETATION President Coolidge upheld the spir- it of the law when, by his recent. pro- clamation, he restored citizenship to all men who deserted from.the army and navy during the three year per- iod between the, armistice and the formal ending of the World wax.- The law is a just one which re- quires that any man who shall desert when the nation is ,at. war shall for- ever forfeit his rights of citizenship. Such a law is a military necessity. But war wds 'to all intents and purposes ended :on Nov. 11, 1918. Ac- cording to the letter of the law, how- ever, deserters between this date and the official declaration of peace, Nov. 17, 1921, are subject to the same pen-: alties as are inflicted upon those who desert in the face of the enemy. Such penalties, to be inflicted on essential- ly peace time deserters, are too se- vere. These deserters are being suf- ficiently punished by their court mar- tial sAgtences which are in no w'ay remitted or commuted by the proc- lamation restoring their citizenship.; The condition .which made the addi- tional penalty of lost citizenship nee- essary was an abnormal one. President Coolidge, by his proclam-j ation, narrowed the action of the law and thus interpreted it in the spirit, no doubt, in which it was made. It is by- such process of considering the spirit rather than the letter of the law that all law may be made to adjust itself to every condition which may arise in its application. It is by such process that American law can be made to serve its true pur- pose, that of, guaranteeing to every- one the greatest degree of freedom possible within the bounds of legal- , t 1 ,l i ,i . t ;) .{ I f a r e f r , e e t s a K 0 n n e e r a - f i T i I curriculum activities is condemned on the ground that he is failing to accom- plish the purpose for which he enter- ed college. Nevertheless men who come here from large business con- cerns for the purpose of selecting pro- spective employees, are considering more and more the part that the un- dergraduate has played in the other side of college life. According to George William Cur- .tis, "leadership is the power of kindl- ing a sympathy and trust which all will eagerly follow," and this power will not arise by merely scanning the book of knowledge. If we become leaders, and are to fill our place in the world properly, we must begin nowI to ascertain what actual competition is. One cannot hope to do this only by sitting at our desk, but by a ju- dicious mingling of study with oth- er activities which cause one to rub shoulders with his fellow students.

The Mimes will present an origin- al musical comedy, "The Sweetest Kiss" by Edwin Meiss, Friday and Saturday evening, March 14 and 15 in the Mimes Theatre. The production, under the direlction of John Brom- ley, will be staged with special cos- tumes and settings, while the danc- ing will be under the supervision of Lionel Ames and Howard Welch. The plot, as befits any well-behaved revue, is slight and with only enough plausibility to explain the entrances of the many specialty numbers. Brief- ly, it concerns the adventures of two ambitious business men--recently from Michigan, for the sake of lo-! cal color-who are making anything but a success of their candy store in one Peeps Corners, Missouri. In the end, the enterprise is saved from its threatened ruin by two college girls -also ' from Michigan, also for the sake of local color-with a gift for candy kisses, and as the final cur- tain falls all parties concerned are united in eternal happiness to the tune of jazzified wedding bells, Tickets are now on sale at the Mimes Theatre box office. * * * T~~iVY lki 147Krj--1 r-war cocnai iia ebuilbLUL..l U14l4. -.s.. 617 Packard St. Phone 1793 (Where 1).

Twenty-Five Years Ago At Michigan From the files of the U. of 31. Daily, March 9, 1899. The Sophomore class met yesterday, afternoon to make arrangements forI the Fresh-Soph meet in the gymnasi- um Saturday. The class adopted a yell which is as follows: ing effects in front warned him that they were the unwilling targets of an airplane gun. Dick laughed. "Strike me pink, we're in the soup. Those are the rev- olutionistas in Honduras and they will kill us if we don't descend." "Then," said Tom, "let us by all means descend." "I, too, am in hearty accord with such a move," added the Professor as he doffed his hat to the Lilliputians below. "Damn right" acquiesced Sam brief- ly. The bomber descended in a great Professor Hollister's classes in play production will present the first number of their present series Thurs- day evening, March 13, in University Hall Auditorium. The program will consist of a well-balanced bill of one- act plays including "The Spreading of t the News" by Lady Gregory, "A Sun- ny Morning" by the Quinteros, "Mrs. Marrison" by John Masefield, and "A Marriage Proposal" by Anton Tche- kov. Lady Gregory's earthy Irish farce, "The Spreading of the News", of I course, is too well known to require mention. It is the old story of much ado about nothing: a chance bit of gossip grows into a murder and a theft which lands both of the .char- acters involved in jail before the day Is over. "The Sunny Morning", in contrast, is a quiet comedy of a Spanish park. There is a subtle humor about it with sentiment and pathos mingling in a charming manner. Masefield's "Mrs. Harrison", to be fully understood, should be given with its prologue, "The Campden Wonder". It is a horrible little tragedy that in-. variably leaves the audience tense and exhausted at the curtain. Mrs. McEachearn, who played the part very successfully last year, will have the} MAIN AT LIBERTY t t f _, .1 Oil is an excellent factor for keep-j .g the bearings running smoothly: it too much of it is sure to cause ipping and loss of power in the achinery.
