h e I'a. tmne °n the scho-
last'fc sarer of every 'student who
chooses Midhigan as his school, when
he is lost to himself. That time be-
gins with the process of registration
and does not really;end until the
close of the first semester.
Many freshman are lost to them-
selves at present. Perhaps, most of
them realize it in a vague way, but they
should not be alarmed. This may be
discouraging, but the first year' stu-
dents should inake this, dazed condi-
tion stir their; fighting instinct so that
they can survive the test of the 'first
semester in college.
The road through the first seester
is crooked, rough, and filled with pit-
falls. Many freshmen, no'doubt, al-
ready. realize the fact. The process
of registrtion, physical examination,
and classification probably seemed
like 'an endless mass of red tape to
them. As yet', the friends of the fresh-
mlan here are few, his room is strange,
he is not yet acclimated to his sur-
roundings, and the landlady cannot
take the place of his mother. For
several days after the opening of
school,, freshmen will wonder how
they are ever going to get accustomed
to the hustle and bustle, and how
they aie going to get their minds to
function properly. They will wonder
at times if it all is really worth-
while.
patiently and diligently from the start
will be successful.
Michigan extends a hearty welcome
to the freshmen and expects them to
work hard, exercise their brains, and
to acclimate themselves to Michigan
traditions and obeserve them rev
erently.
"THE MIDNIGHT OIL"-
AND GASOLINE
With the opening of the University
this fall, the Regents have seen fit
to institute regulations concerning
the use of automobiles by students,
that will eventually eliminate the use
of cars by underclassmen and those
unable to maintain a definite scholar-
ship standing. At the same time, stu-
den-owned cars have been entirely
banned at Illinois, and similar legis-
lation is being introduced elsewhere.
The handling of the automobile sit-
uation is a difficult problem. There
are students for whom a car is only
a form of diversion from the real pur-
poses of a university-and there are
those who appreciate the real value
of cars and who use them to save
time and ,energy for worthy causes.
The, first class has no right to own
automobiles while enrolled here; the
second should not be deprived ofathat
right. To make the differentiation
with fairness is the goal at which all
regulations should aim.
For this reason, the action taken at
Illinois is faulty. It fails to allow for
particular cases and sweeps all stu-
dent-owned cars away-inflicting, in
many cases, real hardship, and lack-
ing that fundamental of all successful
faculty-imposed rules-fairness, and
understanding.
The Regents of this University have
found a far better solution. Fresh-
men and sophomores, if they pay the
proper amount, of attention to their
real college work, have little time for
motoring and are, as a general case,
rather young to be allowed the use of
cars without parental discipline,. Stu-
dents who fail to meet the scholastic
requirements laid down have little
right to expect favors from the Uni-
versity. Yet at the same time, for
those who have a reasonable right to
drive cars, no obstacles have been im-
posed except the easy task of regis-
tering the car' at the office of the Dean
of Students.
And best of all-to handle, the ex-
ceptions to the rules that must come
up, and .'be worthy of consideration,
the Regents have provided a commit-
tee, composed largely of students,
whose decision on all cases will be
final, except when this committee
recomends probdio. or. xpusion
from te Univers ty, when the case
may be appealed to the University
discipline authorities.
It is almost an ideal arrangement;
students may show their appreciation'
for the sympathetic understanding
that prompted the men who drew up,
the new regulations by helping their
own classmates In charge install the
system with the least possible friction
and the most successs.
'GLOOMY DEAN' RESUMES
Although shocking at first to those
interested in the close relationship
of the English speaking people, the
prediction by Dean Inge of St. Paul's
London, that the British empire faces
an early disintergration, with the
United States standing aloof or pas-
sively assisting the downfall, may be
received as another gloomy outburst
from the "gloomy dean" who added to
his reputation for dire forecasts when
he toured this country several years
ago.
Without doubt, the empire is now
undergoing profound changes in the
relationship between the home gov-
ernment and its colonies which start-
ed soon after the World war. It is
entirely probable that the British em-
pire with control centralized in Lon-
don will develop into a British com-'
monwealth of nations in which Cana-
da, New Zealand, and Australia will
be complete entities in a federation
of governments. However, no castas-
trophe nor downfall of British influ-
ence as a world power need accom-
pany this development. Changes ac-
companying the transition should.
come gradually and in a normalman-
ner. Among recent events which
point to a peaceful transfer of au-
thority and responsibility from Lon-
don to the colonial capitals are, the
appointments of ministers to the,
United States by Canada and Ireland
with the complete approval of the
London government.
As for the Dean's pessimism on the
cordial and helpful relations between
England and America, its weight will
be felt only as propaganda for the
uninformed and as encouragement for
those who delight in raising the Brit-
ish ire. That peace is maintained be-
tween the two only because the Brit-
ish government invariably gives way
is indeed a dangerous statement. In

As we gather to open another foot-
ball season, it is only fitting and
proper that we make a few remarks
of an introductory nature before set-
tling down to the deep and serious
business of trying to think of some-
thing funny after wading through the
red tape of registration week to end
up with the kind of a program we now
have.
Contributions are solicited. In-
lander writers are especially urged
to submit poems and stories rejected
by that magazine. Not every item re-

such good material to appear beside
some of 'his weak stuff, so try again.

Dear Timothy-
What do you think of this one which
is going the rounds of all the sorori-
tiesZ Jt seems that two,,pretzel ben-
des,t Heinie and Herman' by name,
were rushing the same gir-Hulda-
who had a tooth and a. heart of gold.
By an unfortunate trick of fate Heinie
and Herman both called one evening
on the aforementioned Hulda.
Imagine their surprise, when, as
they were sitting on the parlor sofa
discussing with Hulda the latest de-
signs in pretzels, the chair upon
which Hulda was sitting suddenly
gave way with a loud crash and pre-
cipitated Hulda upon the floor.
It was a truly embarrassing mo-
ment but Heinie, quick as a wink,
saved the day by shouting "Donner-
wetter noch einmal, was ist denn
wieder los? So was hatte ich in aller
welt nicht erwartet!" Needless to
say Hinie later won. Hulda's heart
and hand for his quick-wittedness in
such a social crisis.
Well, well, autos have been denied
to all except upperclassmen of, good
scholarship, who won't be able to use
them if they keep eligible.

Autos may be banned but what of
the horse and buggy? We aen't find
anything in the ruling to say, that
horse drawn vehicles can't be hired,
or owned. It looks to us like there
was a loophole for the sophomore who

brothers driving off with his girl..

There certainly should be no kIek

the regents and faculty will hardly

buggy rides they used to have.
The boys who used to run around
in $10 Fords, can now get the same

"THE AMATEUR STAGE"
In the prominent theatrical maga-
zines there is always comment on the
Little Theaters of universities and
colleges: Yale, Harvard, North Caro-
lina and California. But never in the
history of the University of Michigan
have the dramatic achievements of
any of its organizations received such
widespread publicity as in the last
year. The sporadic achievements of
the Ypsilanti Players have been tout-
ed occasionally in Theater; the Union
Opera has had a page of cuts and
honorable mention in that magazine;
and in the September Issue, Mimes
and Comedy Club have burst glorious-
ly forth with cuts from "Great Cath-
erine," "Beggarman" and "Engaged"
and the following article on "The
Players of the University of Michi-
gan":
"To many who are accustomed to
thinking of dramatics at the Univer-
sity of Micligan only in terms of the
Annual Union Opera, it will come as
a distinct surprise to learn that a re-
sume of the past season on the Ann
Arbor campus reveals a repertoire of
dramatic productions that is not alone
significant but unique as well. The
list includes Gilbert's "Engaged,"
Sierra's "The Cradle Song," Shaw's
"Great Catherine," "Androcles and the
Lion" and "You Never Can Tell" by
the same author, "Holberg's "Beggar-
man," Jesse Lynch Williams' "Why
Marry?" and O'Neill's "S. S. Glen-
cairn"-fifty performances in all, with
13,000 paid admissions (omitting the
"S. S. Glencairn") at the Mimes the-
ater to say nothing of the attendance
on tour!"
This extraordinary season in the
theater as was briefly summarized
above was the first season on the
Michigan campus ever to be intrinsicly
successful. There was an unusually
large number of students who were
more than exceptionally talented
actors and actresses, and this number
was augumented by several sensa-
tional "finds." In short those ten or
a dozen students who were of a pro-
fessonal ability gave the productions
of Mimes, 'Comedy Club and Masques
a finished appearance that won na-
tional recognition.
These students, headed 'by the acto-r,
critic, press agent, producer, column-
ists, Lady of Sorrows and what not,
Robert Henderson and with Lillian
Bronson, Dale Shafer; Phyllis Lough-
ton, Warren Parker, Amy Loomis and
others created a foundation for these
organizations that at all costs must
be maintained. Elaborate plans hav3
been made by the, committees iL
charge for the coming year and, the
opening productions will be an-
noinced later in the week, while a
brief resumee of the exceptional suc-
cesses of the summer season of plays
given by La Henderson and company
will also be given.

GEORGE WHITE'S SCANDALS
A review, by Vincent Wall.
A 'rathertshop worn edition of
George White's Scandals, serial num-
her unknown, was presented to a
packed house at the Whitney theater
on Sunday evening, and for three
hoursa travesty of every musical
show from the bright lights for the
past five years given by a company
which hid very obviously come from.
better days.
The usual endless scenes were
punctuated by occasional bursts of
enthusiastic comedy which the audi-
ence applauded or unsuccessful bur-
lesques which were showered with
pennies from nigger heaven. The
chorus was unusually shapely for a
road show and although some of the
ladies of the ensemble were built on
the lines of beer 'bottles with pudgy
places and funny knees, their work
wag creditable; and no one took the
trouble to look at their faces.
Several of the acts were exception-
al: the Leeland sisters who gave "Just
Missed the Opening Chorus"; Senor
and Senora DeTorego, dancers who
did some good toe work, a tango and
an .crobatic novelty; Kimm and Ross
in soft shoe dances; and Ace Brown a
passing baritone. But the leading
comediene - so help her - ; she
couldn't sing or dance and shouldn't
have tried. However, the company
worried through to a good curtain;
it might have been worse, considering

The very large increase in our business for the past six years
indicates that you have told your friends what unusual service is to be hadi
at Rider's Pen Shop. You have done both your friends and us a service.
l ider's Pen Shop is not an ordinary pen counter like all the
rest. It .s a service shop equipped with everything needed to supply your
immediate needs, with thousands of parts for replacing breakage, and what
ismost sential, qualified, akilled pen makers always in charge; the only
penmakers to be found in the state. "Knowliedge is power." "A little'
learning is a dangerous thing." This is as truce as applied to your fountain
pen needs as to human surgery.
We know pens and in our selection of merchandise are not
guided by flashy colors, extensive advertising or seductive guarantees. In
the selection of merchandise we take into account three important factors,
good writing quality, appearance and durability, and protect you from the
pitfalls of buying pens that do not meet these requirements.
We skillfully repair your old pens and make them as good
as their condition will pernit and do it in 24 hours or less.
We make a good allowance for your old pen in exchange for
one of our Rider Masterpens, our own make and a general favorite among.
students who can afford the best; a pen which holds from 5 to 12 times
as much ink as other pens, has unequalled writing quality, will outw#ar
several pens of any other make, and most important is serviced by the

wait.
Let us correctly fit you with one of these pens-"eventually,
why not now"-or serve you in any of your pen, pencil or ink requirements.
