SMITH INDISCREET Michigan students have again been regrettably involved in a movie rush and a subsequent encounter with the officers of the law. Rather than the students, ;however, the members of the local .police force located in the vicinity of the Arcade theater were the chief offenders in the disturbance., In driving the students and towns- people from the sidewalks for a block from the theater, and in chasing them off the adjacent parts of the campus, the officers showed considerable in- discretion and obviously exceeded their rigts..Their use of night sticks and tear gas bombs was carried much farther than was neecessary. On two occasbns, at least, the glass cartridges were fired at such close range and in such a manner that the faces of students were cut by the fragments. If employed at all, these bombs shouljd be used for spreading the gas rather than as dangerous projectiles. It was learned from' the desk seargent at the police station that the men had orders only to protect the theater property and to accost only those who interfered with the: business of the theater. If they had, followed only these instructions, the crowd would have dispersed much earlier, and there would have been no injuries.. The students, of course, were not entirely blameless for the affair. The "hoodlum" action of a certain class on the caipus, which has been ex- hibited upon previous occasions, was the fundamental reason for the pres- ence of the officers. It was the same spirit which moved some students toj make the latest rush and which was responsible for its unfortunate re- sults. This, however, does not excuse the unwarranted action of the police. Their excessive use of weapons and their indiscretion should be severely condemned. FOR UNIVERSITY NEEDS To carry on the multifold activities of the University, the State legislature, will be asked for appropriations with- in the, near future, in somewhat theI same manner that an executive sub- mits a budget to the board of direc- tors of a business corporation. These funds will be utilized to meet currentI expenses and to widen the Univer- itv's n1readv wideshere off rvice. six-tenths of a mill for current opera- tion and general support, should be removed. At the present time the University can receive more than this sum for current expenses only through special legislation. The removal of the limit of $3,700,000 will avoid the necessity of special appropriations for this purpose. On the present equalized value of the State, the mill tax' proceeds would go from $3,700,- 000 to approximately $4,620,000 an- nually. Subject to revision, there will be nine items taken care of under the proposed appropriation of $4,925,000. The first item is $600,000 which will be used to pay for two stories being added to the nurses' home, and for hospital accommodations for certain special patients now being taKen care of in Kalamazoo. The second item of $350,000 will pay for the land on which the Women's league building will be constructed. These two are now past obligations. Next will come a request for $500,000 to purchase land for the two proposed dormitories for women. With this sum will go a fur- ther request for $750,000 which will meet one-half the expense of building the dormitories, the first in the Uni- versity's future system. . The fifth item on the list, $1,100,000, will.provide for additions to the Uni- versity high school for elemental school studies. Sixth will come $75,- 000 for the proposed biological sta- tion on Burt lake. The seventh item will provide $450,000 for the Observa- tory at Portage lake. Eighth on the list is the sum of $200,000 to meet capital expenses, due to repairs on the steam and electric lines, a new boiler in the power house, and the like. Ninth and last on the appropria- tions schedule will be the sum of $900,000 to be used in constructing the south wing of Angell hall, where University offices would be tempor- arily housed. University records now kept in Old University hall are in no wise protected fully against fire. These would be removed to the new fireproof building. It is to be hoped that the legis- lature, will be able to provide for the University's needs as suggested. The State legislature has set the standard for many states in the generous man- ner in which it has appropriated funds in the past for University needs. As far as it is able, it is unlikely that the legislature will fail to meet the - I suggested budget. Certainly it has been most generous in the past. FOR BRITISH POLICY Dispatch of the British cruiser, Co- lombo, to Nicaragua with the ac- companying statement by the For- eign Secretary has been regarded in s England . as a highly significant de- velopment in British foreign policy. For some some, Britian . has re- garded America's elastic interpreta- tion of the Monroe Doctrine as rather alarming in view of its possession of British Honduras in Central America and British Guiana in South America. Particular atten- tion has been given to the statement by the White House spokesman that "other governments hesitate to send forces to Latin Amerca because of our position on the Monroe Doctrine." In the recent action taken with at least the tacit approval of the United States, then, there has been seen a restriction on the implications of this creed. Sir Austen Chamberlain, in explaining that the cruiser was sent to Nicaragua merely as a base of refuge for British citizens, made the f distinction between that form of pro- tection and intervention. It was stated that the vessel would remain only as long as was necessary for that pur- pose and that no landing would be made. Consideration of this development as a precedent for British action may well be welcomed in this country. With England's right to protect her citizens in this manner recognized, her right as well as any possible de- sire to interfere would be made more remote, and the strength of Amer- ica's position on the Monroe Doctrine will be correspondingly increased. HUNGARY, ROU1IANIA At times the League of Nations ac- complishes something so worthwhile that it must seriously disconcert the enemies of that body. When a war is averted or a dispute settled that in- volves the welfare of millions of peo- ple, even those most radical antag- onists of world brotherhood, and co- operation must admit that something has been accomplished. The present arbitration between! Hungary and Roumania before the League tribunal is significant for these things and many more. It is signicant because it is the first time that a German has presided, Foreign Minister "Stresemann. It is signifi- cant also because it is peaceful arbi- tration of a dispute between two na- T- POLICE All) GENTLE:IEN LATE BULLETIN Students were leaving town for Chicago by the hundreds late last night. They were going back where you can walk the streets without serious interference from the police force. SHOT BY SHOT ACCOUNT OF OF THE RUNNING GUN BATTLE (The following dispatches were re- ceived by radio to ROLLS Monday night, direct from our own privatej armoured car.)I Thirty students bravely attemptedj to get up nerve enough to "rush" the! Arcade theater after arriving on campus from the basketball game where Michigan won the undisputed championship in basketball for the first time in history. It was quite a little tea-party until the police started shooting off blanks, over at the Maj. where the crowd rushed next. Then, like thatI old Boston tea-party, this turned into a war.

One restaurant reported sales totaling three dozen. During the historic Siege of the Maj. it was noted that cops were smoking in the lobby. Of course, po- lice have special privileges, but we1 have our doubts as to whether they can break state fire laws. Maybe the fact that they had the doors locked cancels the other violation of the law. We didn't get that far in algebra to find out. * * * TONIGHT: The Mimes present' "It. U. R." in the )limes theater at 8:30 o'clock. * * * A review, by Philip C. Brooks. The Mimes have chosen a vehicle for their current performance which certainly carries with it a world of interest in speculation-meditation of an almost inconceivably imaginative sort. The strange workings of the mind that produced "R.U.R." produced a novelty which is not only pleasing but well worthwhile as a philosophical study and satire on modern industrial- ism. What a remarkable pastime Capek has suggested in wondering what would be the result of the abolition of human labor, the wiping out of value and the money which expresses it! How pertinent is this suggestion in our times! Surely the most astute economist, the most academic his- torian, the scholar in any field, would find an appeal in this creation. In selecting this play, the Mimes set about a task of unusual difficulty. For the fascinating thought of "R. U. R." is expressed in melodrama--not brief spasms of it, but a whole ex- tended scene and more. To present it without the lack of- smoothness which would detract from one's interest in the play itself, is indeed a credit to the players. The man who had the duty of car- rying the ultra-melodrama, and who maintained the excellent interpreta- tion of character throughout, Charles Livingstone, is to be highly congrat- ulated on his work. There is a simi- larity between his part in this and that of "The Last Warning," but it is obvious that his work here, in keep- ing with the play itself, is on a much higher plane. The meticulous book- keeper, Roy Curtis, as well as William Ramsay, Francis Kleutgen, and Theo- dore Skinner, also deserve commen- dation. It is unfortunate that the Mimes is not, apparently, able to pick a more convincing looking lady, and one who cannot show a better feminine char- acter. There are available men who could give a better appearance to the lead in this play, and while Lewis' acting was passable, it is far from unsurpassable. Richard Woellhaf, who hardly had an opportunity to do much acting in "R.U.R.", has made much more appealing performances as a lady.

IN THE BATTLE ZONE "Well, Harvard and the De- troit high school boys ain't got nothing on us, now," remarked j the Jolly Junior Monday night. L * * * Police at a late hour last night seemed undetermined as to whether they had arrested anyone or not. Ac- cording to the Times News, one stu- dent was arrested on a charge ofsre- sisting officers but police denied that they had made any arrests. Clippy Stadium at last proved its usefulness. Not only did it serve as a grandstand for the comedy in front of the Arc, but it later became a re- treat for students. Police raided Clip- py Stadium more times than students even tried to rush the theaters. ROLLS will post a notice tomorrow prohibiting officers from trespassing on the Stadium property. Graduate students were especially hard hit in the riot. One was ar- rested and one or two graduates were injured. It seems as if the students were the only ones that got off easily. Some expressed the opinion that they would rather be shot in the leg by real bullets than get gun-powder wounds and glass in the cheek. While police ran up one side of the street chasing everybody in front of them with tear gas and fists, the crowd crossed over to the other and went back again. Then the cops would have to make a rush back again. It was one of these sheep chase goats affairs. One policeman was shot by his own tear-gas in the State street run- ning gun battle. He went into Cal- kins-Fletcher drug for first aid just! after one of the student victims came in.
