PHELPS 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. %l f t/J 1 I .

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.

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. Mr. Charles A.

I * et If jf, wee' fir the~ Leoagniu the~ cA. 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 MODERN AMERICA eds wouldn't have so many rules to Will H.
