THE SAME OLD STORY
The approaching end ofsthe semes-
ter, brings an. annual lesson that is
rarely sufficiently appreciated, to{
judge by the repetition year afterl
year of the practice df one of the
greatest student mistakes. Procasti-
nation, a disease which is almost uni-
versal in collieges, causes a constant
accumulation of work until the last
week before the finals, when nearly
everyone must indulge in late night
labors, eye-straining study, and a
hurried carelessness of preparation
in order to complete requirements.
When will we take advantage of what
experience teaches? "Next time"-
the same old story.
It should be realized that the most
efficient method of.studyis to keep up
in one's work during the entire se-
mester, a method which will not take
an exorbitant amount of work it
faithfully followed. This results both
in a much firmer grasp of the subject
matter, and in a much better state of
health-physical and mental. Needless
to say, more accurate work in final
examinations, m o r e worthwhile
grades, and greater satisfaction with
one's accomplishments will be the
inevitable end.
In taking up any of the numerous
courses which require considerable
outside reading, collateral reports,
and specially assigned study apart
from that done in the class room, stu-
dents fall into the notion that they
can "get by," if they merely keep up
with their daily work, and too often
leave the extra study for Christmas
vacation or the last two weeks of the
semester. Even after going through
three or four semesters, in the course
of which they must see that very lit-
tle work is usually accomplished dur-
ing vacations, and that the time is far
too short in the last few days, they
still continue their habits. It is still
"Well, we'll do better next time"-
the same old story.

Tomorrow will be a galla day. It
will herald the arrive in Ann Arbor
of Mr. E. Hamilton Mipp, who will
take up his duties here as general
manager of all Michigan crew activi-
ties. Mr. Mipp has had years of ex-
perience as a coach for work in the
shells, having been head mentor of
oarsman at such institutes as Siwash1
University and the Detroit School of
Chiropractics. The latter school
were practically the Champions of the
country last year, or least they would
have been, according to Mr. Mipp,
except for the fact that no one would
meet them as they were all scared to
race his pupils.
Fast Success
At Siwash Mr. Mipp was handicap-
ped by the fact that there was no
water in which to train the crews,
but taking this into consideration his
crews performed remarkably well. At
the Detroit institute, said Mr. Mipp it
was difficult to achieve a regular at-
tendance since the students always
had so much back work to do. He
hopes that this trouble will not arise
at this institution.
"And as for water," said the new
skipper "we have plenty of that here,
on the Huron and if that isn't deep
enough we can always use State
street."
Mr. Mipp is not only an unusual
crew coach, but is nationally known
for his political and social prowess.
He has been active in political life
ever since he attended the University
of Maine, where he served as Vice-
president of the S. C. A. until the
wild life and heavy drinking proved
too much for him and he was forced
to transfer to Northwestern, where
he enjoyed a milder sort of existance.
"I-hope to be active in campus and
town activities as soon as I get my
oars into the water," he said as he
alighted from the train here at the
Ann Arbor Railroad station, on which
line he had come from Toledo. "I
ned a shave," he added as he lit a
match on his chin, "I couldn't very
wel do it all this week on the train
s Ii could never tell when it might
Sstart, poving again."

Bernard Shaw's "Great Catherine" in

A FOURTH PERFORMANCE!Zr-
When preliminary, plans were ar-
ranged for "Great Catherine," it was
considered a daring step to announce
definitely a second performance of

the play. Nevertheless, unusual care
was taken to costume and set the
farce in the most adequate manner j
possible, and as the third and now the
fourth reptitions have been added to1
meet the apparently endless demand
for seats, the directors are having the
quiet satisfaction of seeing their la-
bor justified.
In other words, here is a play that
is a corkinig good comedy, one of the
I funniest, perhaps, ever written, and
at the same time an outstanding piece
of literature-a great artistic concep-
tion, if you will; a farce by England's
most brilliant contemporary dramatist
actually turning people away from
the box-office again and again. With
the reviews it has received and the
apparent enthusiasm pf its audiences,
it might well run seven instead of
four performances: were the campus
not a University, after all, rather
than a stock-company.
The point is that the popularity of
as splendid 'a burlesque as "Greatj
Catherine" settles once and for all
the winded carping of stray aesthetes:j
the student-bpdy, the faculty and the
townspeople will support a fine play
every time, providing it smacks of
no preciousness, providing it is well
done and adequately mounted.
The box-office favor of "Great
Catherine" is a grand manner tri-
umph for Kultur at Michigan. 1

"Americans are a bit too opti-
mistic concerning the economic
situation in Germany. Upon the
stabilization of the mark last
year the crisis was marked with
the failure of several of the larger
industries, which caused a tre-
mendous increase in unemploy-
;ment. Although there is no
danger of communism, the labor
situation at present is very grave.
Two steadying influences make up
the true backbone of Germany-
the present population and the
supply of dependable Government
employees." -Prince Otto Bis-
marck, grandson of the famous
chancellor of Germany.
"TWO WITHOUT"
There comes a time when we allow
petty prejudices to cut off our vision,I
and. deprive us of those things which
might otherwise be of great benefit.
Many of us have held or do hold such
prejudices in regard to the Student
council, and cannot, will not, recog-
nize meritorious suggestions submit-
ted by that body. But after all the#
members of the Council are not the
fire-eating monsters that they have
been painted. They are human and,
to a more or less limited extent, are
)ossessed of good minds, which, com-
bined with their opportunities, are f
often productive of entirely workable!
and constructive suggestions.
Such a suggestion enianated from
the Council chambers several days
ago. It looks ahead into the future, ,
to the time when the University will
have a suitable number of freshman'
dormitories. (It is to be hoped that
the recommendation does not look in-
to the too-distant future,-freshman
dormitories are a necessity, if the
University is to be that which iti
V: ires to be.) The suggestion was
that one of these dormitories be
t , ignflted as a "Language building."
The plan doesn't mean what it seems
to mean.
li-ow often have we heard people
bo have just returned from travel in
foreign lands remark, "I took fourj
yoars Of Fiench at school, but I
couldn't even order a meal in Mar-
seille." It is one thing to be able to
rcad the literature of other lands in
the original, and quite another to be
WORTHY OF HIGHEST PRAISE
To the Editor:
In two respects the production of
"Great Catherine" by Comedy(ul)
was notable for the production of
experimental dramatics at Michigan.
It opened the doors of Mimes sanctu-
ary to an all-campus organization
and it found itself a finished perform-
ance under the direction of an under-
graduate. Mr. Shaw and his delight-
fully witty play are not to be blamed
for these innovations. They are
rather the result of the wide interest
in .and demand for amateur dramatics
For the Mimes theatre we of the
campus are grateful. We hope that'
Mimes reaped benefits enough to in-
duce it to rent its playhouse again. 1
Until the longed-for Michigan theatre!
is a reality, Mimes theatre should be
the setting for most of the good cam- I
pus plays.j
The acting in "Great Catherine"
was splendid. It was a delight to
meet the German frau who found
Russian customs of love and torture
so much to her liking, to watch a
Russian freely imbibe without a sug- !
gestion of doing so in a prohibition
country, to admire an English captain
who disliked both love-making and
tickling. There was little acting -by
one performer that stood out above.
another, except in importance of
character, which is as it should be.
The person responsible for the bal-
ance of characters and general finish
of the performance is the -director,
in this case a sophomore, Phyllis
Loughton.
I think I have never seen at Michi-
gan a comedy as well presented. The
director first of ,all understood her
play exceedingly well. There was no
false actions even by the lesser char-,
acters, to whom good advice had
been given . The progression of the
play was swift, With every speech
given the right deliberation: a re-
sult that can be accomplished only by
the director. The change of scenes
was done quickly. The most finished
curtain calls it has been my privilege
to see on an amateur stage recently,
left a final favorable impression.
It is not often that Michigan has
had as talented a student as Phyllis
Loughton, whose talent is less that!
of an actress than that of a producer
of plays. The campus critics do not
seem .aware of the importance of
Miss Loughton's work in making
"Great Catherine" a success, for sheI

Perhaps the critics have been
afraid of praisingasophomore, fear-
ing that vanity might develop where
genius now is resting. I believe, how-
ever, that Phyllis Loughton has4
walked the hard high road of profes-
sionalism enough not to be unduly
swayed by the praise of amateurs. A
bit of genuine admiration may, on
the contrary, make her life at Michi-
gan seem more worth while and more

"IF"
As the third bill of their season,
the Ypsilanti Players will open Mon-
day evening, January 18, a week's
run of Lord Dunsany's fantasy, "If."
The play tells the story of a man
who one day; years ago, missed the
eight-fifteen to town, and of all, in,
consequence, he missed besides. The
scene of the comedy is mainly laid in
the east, and concerns the powers of
a magic crystal which "undid" ten
years of his life and substituted the
ten others he might have lived.
Mr. C. P. Steimle is cast in the
leading role of John Beal.
