CLASFS
BANNED
Beeause of several instances in
the past few, weeks where stu-
dents have fallen asleep in lee-
tures, all classes are hereby
bained until further notice, by
order of Rolls.
It is unfortunate that a few stu-
dents must make the whole university
suffer, but we have found that an
ever-increasing number of persons
have gotten into the habit f doing all
their sleeping in class. This must be
stopped at all costs, and the innocent
must suffer with the guilty.'
Therefore, we have found it neces-
sary, much as we hate to do it, to
order all lectures and quizzes dis-
missed. Under no conditions will stu-
dents be permitted to attend classes.
Students who insist on going to
school will be expelled. From now.
on only athletics and "activitiA" will
be allowed in the University.
,* * *
In the past, rulings have been made
regulating the custom of sleeping in
classes, and it is hoped that the de-
sired effect would be gained from co-
operation with the student body, but
students have not done their part.
And so more radical steps must be
taken.

THE SUPERIOR STUDENT
There has been a great deal of dis-
cussion lately about "weeding out"
undesirable students from the stu-
dent body. That, no doubt, is a very
good plan, but it seems that there
should have been a fairly complete
definition of an undesirable student
presented along with the ideas for
eliminating such people. If one is to
form his conclusions from the ma-
terial which has been generally pre-
sented, he would infer that practically
the only desirable students were those
who went through school on an all
"A" average. Perhaps this is simply
a faulty interpretation of meaning,
but if it is correct, there is plenty of

REGENTS MAY BAN AUTOS!
WELL! WELL! WHAT NEXT?
If the Regents really ban autos, as
they may at their next meeting, you
can look forward to some interesting
times. We are only sorry that we
won't be here next year.
The logical thing to do is to also
ban the use of cars by townspeople,
for they are certainly potential acel-
dents, if there ever were any.*
And no students should be allowed
to travel on trains because they might
get hurt. Also the local bus com-
pany will have to go out of business
or at least restrict their patronage to
professors and townspeople - who
aren't important enough to bother
with, anyway.
When a man graduates from Mich-1
igan in the future he will have to
learn how to drive an auto. In order
not to throw our graduates out into the
world without any practical knowl-
edge what-so-ever, they, will have to
have a course in "Automobile Loco-l
motion, Principles and Practie,"
which will instruct students-underl
carefully guarded laboratory condi-
tions-in the art of being a modern
human being.1

Questioned as to whet'her canoes
will be banned, authorities had not1
decided yet. We think they ought to'
be, as they are dangerous. Perhaps
it would be best to attempt to adopt
the same rules as were used for the
autos first, in the hope that moderate
measures would suffice.
* * *s
CONTINUAL CLASSES
We wish to put forward a sugges-
tion that would take the place of the
new ruling which the regents may
adopt. All that is wanted is to stop
accidents, and if this can be done in
a more pleasant manner it would be
alright with the authorities, we should
think.
* * *
Therefore, we ask that they hold
classes all day and night. By thus
keeping the students in school contin-
ually, all need of autos would be re-
moved.
Perhaps the churches would object
to classes meeting Sundays, but this
could be avoided by turning Sunday
meetings into Bible school classes,
merely changing professors. This
would also give the professors a
much-deeded rest.
As for the additional expenses which
this plan would bring, we believe that
they would not exceed the cost of en-
forcing the rule proposed by the
Regents.

somewhat famous as

a producer of ingenuous American
comedies resorted some time ago to a
play called "Pigs" by Anne Morrison
and Patterson McNutt. Now the
rarity here seems to be first, that Mr.
Golden has always been an advocate
of cleanliness on the American stage;
and second, that "Pigs" became a
popular success that turned them
away.

season of repertory which the Rock-
