OUR NEW BUILDINGS
An atmosphere of physical great-
ness, unsurpassed anywhere, is cer-
tain to be the first feeling of new
students at Michigan. The newcomer
can hardly help but be awed by class-
ical whiteness of the Literary build-
ing, the stony glory of the Law club,
and the impressive size of the Medi-
cal and Physics buildings. Even the
veterans of the University life ex-
perience a feeling akin to pride as
they pass through the endless halls
of the new structures and view the
nearly completed campus of the new
and greater Michigan.:
Closely united with this feeling
there should come a sense of definite
responsibility. These buildings repre-
sent the munificence of a state that
believes in higher education for its
own youth and welcomes residents of
other states to the advantages of its
halls of learning. The state is proud
of the cosmopolitan character of its
University, but from these students
within and without the state it ex-
pects a specific return in serious ef-
fort.
It is to be hoped that with the new
equipment the average scholarship
can be bettered. The new structures
should have, an important influence on
the students' feeling toward thei
workt Better light and better sur-
roundings will make the pursuit of
learning more pleasant than .here-
tofore.
Despite the improvements, however,
Michigan is faced with two definite
problems. Although there are now

sufficiently large lecture halls to ac-
comodate most of the more popular
courses, quiz sectos remain im-
possibly large because there are not
enough insti'uctors to go around, and
in one or two cases the number en-
rolled in lecture courses exceeds the
size of any hall on the campus except
Hill auditorium. Classes of six or sev-
en hundred students pass far beyond
the bonds of reason. It is impossible
that such courses can be .conducted
with any degree of success since the
personal contact with the professor
which is so important is entirely im-
practicable.
Under such conditions an earnest
zeal on the part of the students will
be of little avail. There are too few
good professors to go around and even
too few of the lesser lights to provide
the elementary instruction. No one
will criticize the University for hav-
ing taken a materialistic attitude to-
ward education if now the administra-
tion will devote the funds from the
state from now on to provide instruc-
tion in sufficient quantity and quality.
The emphasis must now be changed
from thought of increased size to

MOVIES AT COLLEGE
Theaters in college communitties
can usually give the movie-going pub-
lic a type of production which is lack-
ing in the highest qualities of decency,
and still maintain a satisfactory
ratio of attendance. It cannot be said
that the Ann Arbor theaters are any*
exception in ignoring this fact. College
students, it is generally supposed, can
best be drawn to those movies which
lack in natural reality and refinement
and which turn to the opposite ex-
treme. Hence the suggestive nature
of many of the screen dramas billed
for Ann Arbor and of practically all
the advertisements in the daily papers
which herald the coming of these
movies.
But a flicker of light seems to be
breaking through with the announce-
ment that "The Covered Wagon" and
"Monsieur Beaucaire" are soon to be
shown in the city. Of less note but of
much similar quality is "The Wan-
derer of The Wasteland" which has
just finished its run here. "The White
Sister" and "Scaramouche with.
which the students were greeted at
the Majestic toward the close of the
last college year, as well as a num-
ber of truly high class plays at the
Wuerth, indicate further the efforts
which are now being made by the
play house managers of Ann Arbor to
secure a higher type of movie for the
student body.
The way in which these photoplays
have been or will be received is a
reliable indication of the students'
desires with respect to screen produc-
tions. Not always can plays of such
merit be obtained but cinemas of
similar oualities of refinement and
reality can. usually be booked. It will
be a credit to the managers of college
theaters" when truth in pictorial ad-
vertising has advanced to the point
where one can jdge a play by the
ads which herald it and when stu-
dents, as anyone else, can attend a
movie with assurance that they will
be greeted with a production, not of
sickening emotionalism and sensa-
tionalism, but of interest and reality.
PROSPECTIVE B. M. 0. C.'S
The advisability of engaging in
campus activities becomes to fresh-
men, a problem, the decision of which
will have a far greater bearing upon
the individual concerned than upon
the University. There is of course the
idea of service rendered to one's Alma
Mater and this phase cannot be over-
looked. No one can stay long at Michi-
gan without having much of the idea
of service.
But as to the individual. Some
freshmen come here with no intention
of ever looking beyond the classroom.
Students who continue through their
college career with such an attitude
will not have gained a full education.
Campus activities of a literary na-
ture are to the student in the literary
college what laboratory experimenta-
tion is to the medic, and without them
no student can realize the highest
benefit from his scholastic achieve-
ments
There is another class of student,
the class that comes to Michigan with
the intention of sweeping all before
them, of starting at the word "go"
and jumping int oeverything which
comes along. Such students are pur-
suing a more dangerous path than the
others. There is a University regu-
-lation which prohibits first semester
freshmen from entering into college
activities. That ruling was made for
,a purpose. It allows yearlings oppor-
tunity to make judgments concerning
things before he plunges headlong.
If in his first semester a freshman
could learn that University activities

are different than those of college and
that one major activity is enough for
any student, if he is to do justice also
to his scholastic work, which is his
first purpose for being here, he will
have gone a long way toward suc-
cess. The man or woman who tries to
get into everything will soon get out
of everything through ineligibility.
With this learned, the student
should realize that the time to select
an activity, Is before entering it. This
can best be done by discussing desired
activities with those who are already
in them. When he chooses that which
he wishes to enter he should go in to
succeed and to stick. He will gain
influential friends, confidence through
success, and a practical application of
his knowledge gained in the class-
room.
CAMPUS OPINION
To the Editor:
The apparently reliable report re-
ferred to by your correspondent H. C.
L. in Tuesday's Daily is not quite as
reliable as it might be. The letter
which President Burton's faculty cor-
respondent wrote, with reference to
the liquor problem, did not make any
plea that the soft pedal should be em-
ployed when liquor is mentioned in
connection with the University 'of

DSTED ROLL
DEAR ME S
We have just witnessed a moste-
pressing scene. It was the first meet-
ing of the editorial tryouts for this
paper, and was presided over by all
the high officials of the Daily. This
is what happened:
All the men women and children
filled out cards, confiding to the city
editor their names, addresses; and
telephone numbers.
They were informed that the Busi-
ness Manager would speak to them A
few kindly words of welcome.
The business manager rose and an-
nounced that The Daily was. short on
subscriptions this year, and that he
was going to call for volunteers-vol-
unteers, mind you- to peddle the
aforementioned subscriptions on the
campus. He then introduced a person
whose function was to explain the
mechanics of elementary salesman-
ship.
This person rose. He explained the
proper way to tear up a subscription
blank. He told his audience that they
were to SELL, not TAKE subscrip-
tions. He then called for volunteers
for eight a. m. Friday.
As the calls for volunteers went
on, volunteers became fewer.
Soon, however, the .'News Editor,
with rare presence of mind, asserted
that this volunteering was the first
Test of Mettle that the editorial candi-
dates were to havet Any laxity in the
matter of volunteering, he intimated,
would be set down in his Big Black
Book.
At this, the Volunteering became
Brisker.
We are happy to announce that the
Five Cents Award for locating the
piece of poetry in the First column is
hereby devised to Preston E. Slosson,
who identified the selection a 'a.
hunk out of Robert Louis Stevenson's
Fables. Inasmuch as this diagnosis
is correct, he wins first money.
In case you did not chance to note
the remarks of Miss Frances Payne,
Beauty Queen of West Palm Beach,
Fla., as reported in The Daily for
Wednesday, we reprint selections
from them herewith:
"I believe that beauty and brains
go hand in hand. Intelligence counted
greatly in the pageant (The National
Beauty Pageant at Atlantic City), and
"Miss Philadelphia' who won this
year's contest, was a young woman
of culture and refinement."
Enough of this. The elegant young
lady referred to as "Mis Philadelphia,"
we are assured, is the daughter of an
honest iceman who inhabits West
Philadelphia, and who is much beloed
by all the housewives on his route.
As to her contention that 'Beauty
and brains go hand in hand,' we have
never found it so. Such, not to put
too fine a point upon it, has not been
our experience.
Except in one case. (Loophole).
We take this opportunity. to con-
gratulate the Messrs. Greenwood and
Kilgore on nifty banner, which adds
in our estimation, some 50% to the
beauty of State street. To those mem-
bers of the body academic who have
not yet fathomed the significance of
the emblem, we point out that one
half of the flag stands for Red, and
the other half for Greenwood. It would
have been more accurate to have one
half red and the other half mauve.
While we are in the mood to dis-
cuss clothing stores, let us say that
the phenomenal expansion of Van

Boven, Cress, and Thompson, Inc.
smacks strongly of capitalism.
Furthermore, the mimeographed
encyclicals that they have been mail-
ing around, in which is recounted the
fact that Pete Van Boven was a base-
ball player in college, and that, in ad-
dition, he was captain of the baseball
team in his senior year, are distinctly
reminiscent of the biography of one
Narcissus.
The first day we began to work for
this paper, we were assigned, by the
Managing Editor, a large,' magnifi-
cent drawer-the only distinctive fea-
ture of an otherwise shabby desk. This
he told us, would be our very own.
In it, he asserted, we would be able
to store our property. with perfect
safety. It was to be, to use the Scrip-
tural phrase, a, drawer which neitherI
moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where
theives break not through and steal.:
In this drawer we shortly put a
carton of cigarettes to cheer us in
our hours of need.
Coming to our office yesterday af-
ternoon, out of cigarettes and money
alike, we found-ah, guess what we
found!
If you think we found any cigarettes
in the drawer you're crazy.
We found nothing of the kind.
The first person we accused-e:. g.
the managing editor, broke down and

He left a pair of glasses of peculiar
ontruction on the scene of the
crime.
That's how. Mr. Jason Cowles.
MUsIC
AND
DRAMA
THE UNION OPERA
It seems incredible, although the
report is quite true, that more than
eight hundred students tried out for
the chorus-all of them with hidden
or avowed designs on a cast position
-of this year's Michigan Union Opera
during the more blistering May days
of last spring. Mr. Shuter actually
had the poise, good temper, or what-
ever other admirable quality the sit-
uation requires, to sit calmly through
the various exhibitions of embarassed
gaukidity, and still retain enough
good judgement to select the sixty or
seventy necessary members. What a
director!
The eligibilty list has not yet been
received but even assuming minor
Changes the cast is. practically chos-
en, and rehearsals will begin immed-
iately. There is still, however, the
prevailing campus problem of ,the
leading lady to succeed Lionel Ames,
Lionel having hied himself ,and his
five-thousand dollar back to a Chicago
vaudeville stage with Lester costumes
and the requisite big-time trappings,
Friends of the university are therefore
urged to be on the lookout for an es-
pecially feminine gentleman, prefer-
ably small of stature, with a good
singing voice, and above all, dainty
ankle and arm muscles.
The music, composed by the author,
Donald Snyder, is now in the hands of
the publishers. Earl V. Moore, direc-
tor of the School of Music, is most
enthusiastic over the pieces-there
are some fourteen of them at pres-
ent.-and \considers Wem distinctly
unique and original. Both the lyrics
and tunes, in his opinion, are fresh
and interesting, and of unusual merit.
Incidently, there is only one purely
jazz 'tune among them; that is quite
in the fashion, of course, for of late
syncopation has ben flying back to
Vienna and its three-o'clock waltzes.
Pure cow-bell racket, you see, is quitse
out of good Broadway society.
Mr. Shuter himself arrived In the
city'Saturday nmorning from his Long
Island home, where he has been
spending the summer. John Bromley,
general manager and chairman of the
opera, in the meantime, is preparing
the list of committee appointments,
which will in turn be passed upon by
the comittee on committees. This
done, the wheels will begin to move,
choruses will struggle over the one-
two-three step, paint pots will appear,
lights, costumes, slippers, posters, will
all gradually mould themselves in
the grand extravaganza that early in
December warms the very cockles of
our Michigan heart.
Professor Hollister has announced
for the first program of his Play
Production series, to be given some-
time in October, "For Distinguished
Service" and W. S. Gilbert's old-
fashioned comedy, "Sweethearts."

Purdue Exponent.
It its perhaps a bit discouraging to
the freshman who has managed to
accustom himself to his new work and
new environment, and who has suc-
ceeded in making available 'several
hours each day for recreational pur-
poses with no responsibilities-to then
be informed that it is time for him
to look about and to choose some
campus activity toward the furthering
of whose interests he should devote
his energies. And the peculiar char-
acteristic of such directions is that
the, advice is sound.
It has long been acknowledged 'that
a- student may pick up various bits
of knowledge during the course of his
college education that are not includ-
ed in his classroom work. To the stu-
dent anxious for auch opportunities

for the attainment of this end. Un-
fortunately, however, there is only
one class of students for whom par-

applicable-those individuals who pos-
