CHAMPE t IND YOURSELF 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.

Contributions are solicited. In- lander writers are especially urged to submit poems and stories rejected by that magazine. Not every item re- ceived will be published, but if yours is rejected you will know that the editor is jealous and doesn't want such good material to appear beside some of 'his weak stuff, so try again. "Brevity" is the password to this column. " " THE CAMPUS CAT I think, Mr. Hay, you'll agree If a kittenrwere born in a tree And were fed from a dish In Ann Arbor, Mich. Ann Arboreal cat he would be. Ivan Astikoff. By the way, did you happen to meet any Daily subscription salesmen on the campus during registration? " " "e * * * One of them told about three or four fresh that gave knowing smiles when approached on the subject of subscribing, and said, "Say, , we're not as green as all that. Are you also selling tickets to the campus" * * TODAY'S BOUQUET The geraniums today go to whoever it was that invented that idea of sending juniors and seniors all over Angell hall look- ing for a ticket to get into the classification committee. These tickets were all numbered but it didn't seem to mean anything, except that someone wanted to give us a little exercise. * 5' S ACHI 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 who finds his junior and senior brothers driving off with his girl.. * * * There certainly should be no kIek coining about the use of buggles. For the regents and faculty will hardly forget their college days, and those. buggy rides they used to have. The boys who used to run around in $10 Fords, can now get the same speed and continuity by hiring an ex- milk wagon hauler. * * * Somebody might get hold of a patrol wagon in the literal sense of the latter word, if it weren't that the police may be using it any day now. Because they'll have to have some- thing down at Ferry Field to bring back all the ticket speculators at the Oklahoma A. and M. game.

"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 road shows as a whole and girly girly Mitimain. ar i..ia. 1' Professors, Graduates and Upper Classm en say,' "Rider's for Pens" 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.

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 manufacturers, J.
