AUTOMOBILE REGULATIONS
Several automobile accidents of
rather serious consequence recently
have once more brought the regula-
tions concerning the use of cars by
students to the fore. It is rumored
that the University authorities be-
lieve the present ruling to be a fail-
ure and contemplate a change this
summer-that change probably to be
the complete abolition of student-own-
ed cars, following the example of Illi-
nois, Princeton and other colleges.
It is admitted that the rulings this
year shave not been successful. The
trouble, however, lies not in the reg-
ulations, which are the sanest treat-
ments of the problem yet advanced
in the United States, but in the pre-
scribed means of enforcement. When
adequate enforcement is provided the
situation will be under control. Com-
plete abolition of student cars is un-
necessarily harsh, needlessly patern-
glistic, and would never meet, the ap-
proval of the student body at Mich-
igan.
The regulations at present provide
that freshmen and sophomores shall
not own or operate automobiles at
Ann Arbor, that students who fail to
maintain a "C" average, no matter
what class, shall be denied permis-
sion, that students under 21 years of
age must obtain the written consen
of their parents, and that all cars
must be registered in the office of the
Dean of Students. That is an ideal
arrangement; change is unnecessary.
The regulations further provide
that enforcement be left to a com-
mittee, appointed by the President of
the Student Council, consisting of
six students and two members of the
faculty. The committee this year has
done its bet, and it is a representa-
tive group, yet the rules have not been
enforced. It is in this point that a
change is needed. Student govern-!
ment is all very well, but even its
most ardent advocates will be forcedj
to admit that it failed to cope with)
the situation this year.
This is no evidence, however, that
these regulations cannot be enforced.
The Daily recommends that the Board
of Regents change this one section,
creaing a committee of three, to be
composed of the Dean of Students, a:
representative of the office of the dean1
of women, and one other member of
itative and efficient-much more so
than the cumbersome group of eight
of this year. It would be composed of
two men and one woman who hold the
best interests of the students para-
mount, and who can act without bias.
Strict enforcement after the laxity of
this year will undoubtedly be temp-
orarily unpopular, but in thelong run
such action would be far more satis-
factory to all concerned than the un-
reasonable abolition of all cars, with
no regard whatever for the rights of
those students who are perfectly cap-
able of operating cars in a sane man-I
ner, with no danger either to them-!
selves or the community.
Above all, Michigan does not want
complete abolition of student owned
cars! -
IL DUCE-IL DUNCE
While no one will deny that Il Duce
is both optimistic and ambitious, many
will express cynicism at his latest
coup whereby he plans to abolish all
strikes, boycotts, sabotage, and strife
between labor and capital by procla-
mation. At a special grand meeting'
of the Facist grand council he pro-
moted his document whereby all cap-
ital-labor strife will be abolished by
the state assuming active control of
all industry. The role of each party
in a contract will be defined and su-
pervised to the nth degree. The state
may seize and operate an industry,
capital and labor will share the ef-
fects of hard times ,the working hours
will be shortened, public health will
be improved and everybody will be
prosperous-according to the docu-
ment "The Charter of Labor." All,
according to the document, will be
happy. Unfortunately I Duce seems
to have forgotten that a man who cut
considerable figure in his day once
wisely remarked that economic ills
cannot be remedied by legislation and
that that remark has yet to be proved
unsound-Mussolino notwithstanding.
MORE ECONOMIC COOPERATION.
Economic cooperation among the in-
dustrial countries of Europe, already
evident between several nations in a
number of industries, may be con-
siderably extended this June when
English delegates will meet in several
conferences with German industrial-
ists to discuss combination of iron and
steel interests.
Several months ago, France and
Germany in company with several
smaller countries pooled their re-
spective iron ore and coal resources.
German business leaders are now
making strenuous efforts to add the
coal interests of England to their
combination.
If the move is successful, all the
principal steel and iron interests of
Europe will be united under one con-
trol. In both morketing and manu-
facturing, such a union should give
rise to genuine economic benefits.
Moreover, the industrial alliance
should have valuable political conse-
quences. Once mutually dependent
upon each other in their business re-
lations, European countries will be
much more able to see a clear path to
accord in diplomatic matters.
RHODES SCHOLARS
It is regrettable indeed that Amer-
ican Rhodes scholars are giving the
impression in England of hurting
sports at Oxford by reason of their
extreme studiousness. Although such
a contention may be somewhat exag-
gerated, the fact undoubtedly remains
that our graduate students abroad are
not acclimating themesleves to Eng-
lish college life as they might.
In accepting a scholarship abroad,
an American student is bound, by rea-
son of moral obligation, to make the
most of the advantages offered him at
Oxford, for instance. It is his privi-
lege, but hardly a becoming one, to
confine himself to studies, and noth-
ing else, for his own personal gain.
Naturally, the educational pursuit
should be the foremost, yet not to the
extent that the morale of other stu-
dents is broken, as has been claimed.
American students in Europe,
whether exceptional scholars or not,
can at least attempt to give a fair im-
pression of the college student in this
country. Confining themselves to
study does not give the English a true
picture of the American student, nor
is the effect in toe least broadening
upon the other English students.
American individuality can be main-
tained even when some effort is made
to get into the college life at Oxford.

A Few Remarks From Wet Hay
Dear Tim-It being too cold to get
out of bed yesterday morning for our
ten o'clock, we read The Daily, the
whole thing, even the editorials, (par-
tially).
* * *
We were surprised to discover that
the engineers have exams.
* * *
And that Matt Mann was to give a
swimming lesson over the radio last
night. Which means that a good
many ceilings were badly damaged,
and the local water department re-
ported an exceptional water consump-
tion. * * *
If it rains Sunday, "Casey at the
Bat" will have to be called on account
of rain.
* * *
And we suppose that the Ann Arbor
fire department will be taking instrue-
tion at the "Fire Brigade" picture, at
the Wuerth.

A review, by Vincent Wall. :
It is seldom that three characters
can mould a single act into a flux of
emotions that holds an audience be-
tween the most vigorous tragedy and
comedy-even of relief. And if it
could be done O'Neill would probably
be the last dramatist to suspect the
combination. "Anna Christie" as pre-
sented by Mimes in their current pro-
duction contains that unlooked for-
paradoxical, if you will--aspect.
The show is probably the most dif-
ficult of the season, and at the same
in the sense that it is a prosperous;
in the sense that it is a prcperous
venture, and at the same time a dra-
matic enterprise that deserves en-
comiums sincerely beyond the critic.
To begin with there are four acts--
all of them long-with three changes
of scenery and two quick strikes. For
amateur production this seems almost
prohibitive, but it was accomplished
with comparative alacity, and even
the fog illusion in the second act was
convincing. The cast contains but
three major roles (two of them are in
dialect.), and to combine variety with
accuracy is itself a problem.
In this department the, work was
the best of the year, with the possible
exception of "The Man of Destiny."
Addison Pelletier, confronted with the
role of Anna Christie, played into the.
part with an assurance which was
needed,. and created one of the most
distinct triumphs of the year. The
nuances in the character are almost
beyond the average actress, for there
are distinct transitionsthattare not
to be ignored, but which at the same
time are extremely subtle. The slith-
ering lady of loose hips and swaying
torso who entered the saloon of
Johnny-the-Priest in the first act is
not the woman who whips the third
act into one of the most tense climaxes
of modern dramatic literature. She
is, of course, a type, and the same
criticism may be made that has since
been made o Pauline Lord-that she
is still Anna Christie. It remains to
be seen.
Charles Livingstone as Old Chris,
the maudlin pantaloon who was her
father, was, I believe, the best he has
been this season, and at the same
time showed exceptional versatility.
With the exception of "Annajanska"
his roles have been juvenile, and the
part was a proof of professional abil-
ity. He was well in character during
the entire evening, even in the difficult
assumption of the dialect. Francis
Kleutgen as Mat Burke was an im-
petuous foil to Anna's occasional
sluggish tranquility, and he fell hap-
pily into the part. His performance
was the needed contrast, and these
clashes of temperament kept the en-
tire show on an even level of excel-
lency.

GIVE THE GIRL A CHANCE!
Rosa Ponselle niay be the greatest
dramatic soprano at the Metropolitan;
she may be the greatest in the world;
but she is at least, one of the most
fortunate-nobody says dirty things
about her behind her back. In fact
this may become a detriment. She
doesn't get the publicity that the rest
of them do. She has never created a'
scene in rehearsal, such as spitting in
the tenor's face or slapping the con-
tralto; she hasn't any illegitimate
children and she never bothers if the
lights aren't just right; she has never'
taken to sun bathing so that the
sharks could nibble her toes (Mary
Garden made the front page all over
the country out of this last year);
and her voice is even better than it
used to be. There's nothing left to
talk about.
In short she is a perfect lady--
which is a bad break in the profes-
sion-and she has never done any-
thing about it. However, she has
built up a public and a critical follow-
ing that is one of the most enviable.
Some way or other she is carrying on
the traditions from the days of Eames,
Nordica, Melba and Sembrich, and the
February 14th, 1927.

My Dear Mr. Sink:-
Agai you have announced a fine program for your annual May
Festival, the very finest musical event of the whole of America. Although
each program seems to be the best that could be offered, you manage to
offer a still better one each season.
For the past ten years or more I have made the trip from New York
to Ann Arbor just to hear your wonderfully fine Festival, and I hope to
go again this season, as usual, even though I do have to travel nearly two
thousand miles to make the journey and return.
Your splendid chorus under the baton of your own upstanding musical
director, Earl V. Moore, your children's chorus directed by the splendid
musician, Mr. Maddy, the unexcelled Chicago Orchestra under the master
direction of Mr. Stock, and the long list of assisting artists brought at great
expense from all the great musical centers-thirteen of them-all to be
heard in six carefully prepared master Concerts during a four day session,
make up a Festival of music that I would not lightly miss hearing. And the
price-$5.50 to $7.00 for a season ticket for the six wonderful events!
Why, a single ticket for any one event of this kind, could it .be had in
Chicago or New York, would cost as much as a season ticket for your six
events- In fact, one pays almost as much for a single recital or concert given
by almost any one of your assisting artists--Schumann-Heink, Ponselle,
Braslau, Tokatyan, Hutcheson, or the Chicago Orchestra. You offer forty
dollars worth of concerts for $5.50 to $7.00. It could not be done anywhere
else or by any other manager. The amount of work done, the -colossal
effort expended and the great financial responsibility required to carry out
a project of such magnitude is stupendous, and I often wonder if any of
the patrons realize even in a small way the sacrifices that you and your
co-workers are making every year to create and perpetuate this great art
center whose musical vibrations penetrate. to the four corners of the earth
