'TIS BETTER TO GIVE .
The Student Christian association,
the only organization through which
students as a group may give benefit
to others, is now conducting its an-
nual fall campaign for funds. During
the next three days every persoon on
the campus will be given an oppor-
tunity to contribute towards its sup-
port.
The activities of this organizationc
are many, butmost outstanding of is
undertakings are the maintenance of
an annual summer fresh air camp, thes
conduct of University services on i
Sunday nights in Hill auditorium, and
the supplying of student extension
speakers to the churches and otherI
organizations throughout the state.
Although none of the funds raised in
this drive will be used for the sup-
port of the fresh air camp, this under-
taking shows the calibre of the workr
which is done.
It is hoped that $5,500 of the $26,-
000 which is the budget for the year 1
will be raised in this drive. This
would mean that if every student
were to give, it would take but sixty-
nine cents each to put the drive over.
The drive is a worthy project, and
every student should lend his support i
to an organization which has pur-~t
poses such as those of the S. C. A.
Everyone should feel that he is a part
of the institution and should take ad-
vantage of this chance to aid the one,
organization giving benefit not only to
students but to unfortunate folk of,
Ann Arbor and vicinity. Religious
prejudices should be cast aside and
all should unite in helping to make
the S. C. A. drive a success.
HAS SHE A DEGREE
At Boston University the College
for Women has just announced the
establishment of a "Chair of Love and
Marriage." A Mrs. MacDonald has
been appointed to take charge of the
training of the prospective brides. The
stage is set.
Those in charge of the work cer-
tainly do not expect to put matrimony
on a purely scientific basis; rather,'
they intend that the young woman
shall understand just exactly what
she is getting into when some young
man, intoxicated by the moonlight,
June night, and stars, breaks down
and proposes. The new chair will be
assisted by the various departments
of the university, including the psy-
chology, economics, and philosophy I
departments. They will contribute a
large part to the instruction.
Mrs. MacDonald believes that mar-
riage quite obviously works both
ways; -a wife should understand thor-
oughly the practical management of
a house and the husband should ap-
preciate the great amount of work
necessary in the proper maintenance
of a pleasant home. She believes in
emphasizing the practical aspects of
married life. Two of her epigrams,
already printed in news reports, are '
"Love in a cottage is a fallacy; money
talks," and "A good provider wears
better than a dancing partner."
Homely, but true.
We can't shut off the moonlight or
eliminate the June nights; no one
wants to. But if the new instruction
is to deal with the practical side of
married life, and will eliminate even
a little tragedy of the divorce court,
then to the "Chair of Love And Mar-
riage" will go our heartfelt thanks.

TlE REVIEWER'S LAMENT
President Coolidge once said, "Do
the day's work. If it is to be to pro-
tect the rights of the weak, 'hoever
objects, do it. If it be to help a
powerful corporation better to serve
the people, whatever the opposition,
do that. Expect to be called a stand-
patter, but don't be a stand-patter.
Expect to be called a demagogue, but
don't be a demagogue."
STED ROLL
AWII, GO
DICEA
Before going into any of the busi-
ness for today, we wish to call your
attention to a headline which appear-
ed in the esteemed Chicago Tribune.
T'his headline appeared on the front
page as a one inch banner for theis-
sue which was on sale on the morn-
ng of Sunday, December 20th, 192-
This may be verified by anyone wish-
ing to look it up in the files of the
Library. The hqadline read:
DIG A WATERWAY! COOLIDGE
We publish this in the hope that
someone will be able to explain its
neaning. We were unable to read the
article at the time. Perhaps it means
something like "Go peddle your her-
ries"-if so it is at the same time a
bold kick in the teeth for little Qal,
and a very picturesque addition to the
growing number of slang phrases. On
the other hand it may be a serious
request that Mr. Coolidge emulate a
more intelligent President, the late
Mr. Roosevelt and build a cianal be-
tween Lake Michigan and the Great
Salt Lake in order to have better ice
skating in Utah. Or yet agiain the
President might have maid "Dig a
Waterway" and if so what does that
mean? We cannot tell how much we
would appreciate any explanation that
you miy have to offer.
SEEING CERTAIN CITIES
CHAPTER II
NEW YORK
In spite of the fact that New York
is the biggest city in this country by
way of population having something
around ten million inhabitants, one
never sees a native in any of the after
theatre clubs, or in fact in the thea-
tres themselves. Just why this is we
cannot explain, except that most of
them must be down in the subways-
all of them are ,at the so-called rush
lionurs.
The reason for this is that the city
is so planned that any given citizen's
place of business is located at the
exact opposite end of the metropolis
from his residence. This is apparent-
ly traditional. It is impossible, more-
over to drive a privately owned
vehicle about the streets of this town,
since the hifghways on the level of the
ground are completely monopolized
by brightly colored taxis of various
descriptions.
Taxis
These cabs, it seems, are not so
much interested in getting fares as
they are in seeing how close they can
come to hitting pedestrians, (of which
there are still a few in existence de-
spite all rumors to the contrary), and
each other. On many occasions they
do collide-sometimes by accident
People use them mostly when it is
raining or when going to theatre, as
many of the playhouses are not easily
reached by the subways. On other
occasions they are used to chase ban-
dits and deliver Christmas packages.
An address doesn't mean a thing in
this city-if you say you live at 18
East 41st Street, that may be the
home of upwards of a hundred other
people who live in the same apart-
ment house. And all types of citizens
live in one building. These apart-
ments are usually from fifteen to
twenty stories high and many of them
are owned by the various tenants.
These are known as co-operative
apartments. In such a building, each
apartment is owned by the family re-
siding in it.
Flats
This sounds all right to begin with,
but we are at a loss to discover who
owns the ground underneath the
apartment, which is in most cuases the
most important financial considera-
tion in local real estate. We further
fail to comprehend how one of these
buildings can be sold. Suppose half
the owners were ,all for having it torn
down and the other half for leaving it
up-it seems beyond us what would
happen if the two parties were spread
about the building or if those who
wanted it torn down all lived on the
lower floors-

CHINESE OPERA
(Performed at the Chicago Annex,
Chicago.)
A review, by Alan Hathway.
A myriad of coorrai costumes,
slant eyed, grotesquely painted faces,
strange chanted songs dung to the
strains of one stringed fiddles and
punctuated by the clash of cymbals,
all viewed in an atmosphere heavy with
incense, carried the causual occidental
observer to the heart of the Orient.
The bulk of the audience, calm little
men and women from the Far East
smiled and frowned as they looked
upon their kinsmen on the stage. The
floor was strewn with the shells of
lyche nuts carelessly thrown by the
interested spectators. White coated
boys passed up and down the aisles
calling their Oriental wares in a high

The curtain does not
fall once. The hero and heroine sing
the final love duet of an act and leave
the stage through the wings. As they
leave the principals of the succeeding
act enter at the other side. A change
of scenery is necesrary. An elaborate
drop showing pagodas and benches
in the foreground with dim, blue top
hills further back is raised while the
action continues, revealing--to the
shock of the occidentals present-an
extremely Louis Quinze drawing room
with a huge, extremely western clock
on the wall. This is the only jar of
the evening.
During the entire development the
property ir4an-in native costume-
wanders, apparently aimlessly about
the stage. A table is needed for a
scene. He may bring in two. When he
thinks it best he removes them, then
he returns and seats himself on one
of the unoccupied chairs in the midstI
of the scene, laughing when the actors
laugh and -being serious with them.
During the entire thirty-two acts that
compose the opera he- is seldom -ab-
sent from the stage.
If the American members of the
audience j bd ame bored with the
seeming slowness of the action they
could amuse themselves by watching
the property man or the orchestra. No
music is used by the players of the
musical accompaniment, composed of
six pieces in all, three one stringed
violins, two sets of cymbals, and one
shrill, high pitched horn. 'A small,
serious appearing me~an sits at the
front, alternating his efforts between
the fiddle and the cymbals. He is
most ardent with the clatter and
seems to put his entire being into the
booming tones.

This quotation may not be partic-
ularly apropos here, but it expressed
the opinion of a great leader and
thinker, an opinion that he has con-
tinued to hold and follow when po-
litical disaster seemed a certain con-
sequence thereof. President Coolidge
'believes in doing his work as he sees
it, despite adverse criticism.
During the past year, during the
past several years, The Daily has
published a number of things that
have displeased certain of its readers.
This has been particularly true of a
few of our music and drama reviews.
But, peculiarly enough, in no case has
criticism of a review reached this
office when the review was favorable;
only when the critics have left the
flower-strewn path of honey words to
write honest, adverse opinions have
the mails brought comments from our
readers. a
No one realizes better than the edi-
tors the faults and weaknesses of The
Daily, - and no one is more open to
comment and criticism on those weak-
nesses. This is not an attempt to
justify anything that may have ap-
pea'red in our columns, it is rather an
explanation of our viewpoint. News-
paper articles are necessarily built
around personal opinions, their chief
purpose for existence being the su-
perior experience and opportunities'
of the writers. In the case of a col-
lege journal, perhaps there is not
even that much justification. But
dramatic and musical reviews are ab-
solutely and completely opinionated,
and every effort is made to indicate
iis. The public is presented, not
With the policy of the editors, but
with the personal opinion of the in-
dividual under whose name the re-
view appears. And The Daily be-

DIAL
THEY CAN'T GO TO TIE MOVIESE
(The Boston Transcript)
Judge Prescott Keyes in the District
Court at Concord hlas given a sentence
that movie enthusiasts of tender years
must heed. Certain youths had I
amused themselves by turning in false
fire alarms, *a proceeding that irked
the 'Codncord Fire Department and
made trouble all around. Finally the
boys were taken to court, arraigned,*
found guilty, and his honor proceeded
to sentence them not to life imprison-
ment, or to be bastinadoed, or to the
rock pile, but to stay away from the
movies during the Christmas and New
Year holiday seasons. lie did this be-
cause the boys' parents told him that
such was the worst punishment that
he could inflict. Thus, so far as theirE
holiday season is concerned, the con-
demned will be urNable to gaze at so-
ciety as it gilds itself upon the screen
and to observe the more than human
courage of clear-eyed heroes in hairl
pants who have only 'to put their
hands on their trusty six-guns to see
the villain, frequently the villains, fall
prostrate and foiled.
This is all to the good and we com-
mend the wisdom of the Concord
jurist, but we are bound to point out
that up to Christmas it leaves these
high spirited juveniles fairly free not
only to attend the movies, but to con-
duct further experiments with the
Concord fire alarm system. There
will be some who argue that these
young gentlemen will be so terrified
