The most brilliantly star-studded i9-j ________ ____________________________________________ cast of the year, and one of the most- brilliant in the theater of the past de- RIDER SERVICE ~ these regulations, intended for their own good, are to be taken seriously. The student committee this year has not dealt out punishment in a single case more severe than to direct the offender to stop using his car, and has not even seen to it that this order was obeyed. Naturally, the legislation has not been lived up to by the minority under such conditions. The change in the committee advocated by The Daily is one of personnel, and not a mere change in number, as the Pres- I ident so humorously pointed out in his speech on Sunday. The present regulations have never been enforced; is it too much to ask for trial with enforcement before the whole campus is punished by being deprived of cars? The President is a fighter-The Daily hopes that he will fight to make the present rulings successful, not to bring about the abolition of cars, which is the easiest way out. To enforce the present restrictions it will be necessary merely to take the numbers of cars obviously belonging to students; check these numbers with the license lists which, the Chamber of Commerce will glady furnish for Michigan cars, and whichl can be obtained easily by writing to the state capitals of Ohio, Illinois and other states; and call the offender thus located before the suggested com- mittee for an explanation. If this ex- AN ANSWER TO DR. LITTLE It is with regret that The Daily fiids itself on the opposite side of the fence from the President of theiUni- versity. Dr. Little, during his two years at Ann Arbor, has filled his it I :I position with distinction, both to him- self and to Michigan, and he has been sincere in his efforts in behalf of his stud'ents. For the first time, The Daily opposes his' recommendations, for his eloquent presentation of his case at Hill auditorium Sunday failed to convince the editors of The Daily that they might have been mistaken in placing the paper definitely on the side of those who object to a general ban on student, owned cars. It is also regretted that "puerile" editorials of The Daily make Dr. Little's work more difficult. It is true that the writers of The Daily's editorials cannot bring to their work the same experience that Dr. Little brings to his. However, the President is mistaken when he suggests that these editorials are hurriedly written by persons who have devoted no seri- ous thought to the question. The Managing Editor of The Daily has been :a member of the present com- mittee for enforcing the automobile regulations during the entire year and has studied the problem at first hand.- The pointing out of flaws in The Daily's argument is welcomed-the charge that these editorials are not advanced after careful consideration in a sincere effort to reach the con- elusion that will most benefit the University of Michigan and its stu- dents is unfounded. Student Body Has Failed The President and The Daily meet on common ground when he condemns a portion of the student body for its failure to cooperate in making the present regulations successful. It was! a wonderful opportunity for students to take the initiative in handling their own problem aid was advanced in a spirit of understanding that is found in few of America's universities. How- planation is unsatisfactory, place the offender on probation, and for a sec- ond offense, suspend him from the University for a definite period. The present committee could have done this, but it didn't. The suggested committee could do it, and must. It would. be drastic action for those guilty of infractions, but it would not punish the innocent majority. It is on this point that The Daily bases itsI argument. Question Involves 10,000 The Daily joins the President in expressing deep regret over the loss of the life of one student, and the in- juring of others, last week. It ex- tends its condolences to the family and friends of the unfortunate stu- dents who suffered. The loss of one Michigan man is a great loss that the University can ill afford, a sacrifice that is deeply felt. However, accidents do happen in modern life and The Daily does not believe that the regret- table misfortune of six students should be considered in a question involving 10,000. It provides an ef-! F fective argument, for it is close to the hearts of. us all, but it should not be given undue weight in the settlement of a question involving so many. The Daily thanks Dr. Little for his excellent and clear presentation of his case at Hill auditorium, and has at-I tempted in the story on page one of this issue to carry his message as fully as possible to students who did not hear him deliver it in person. expected to permit its continuance. The students were warned and failed to change their tactics. The removal of the benches was the only solution left. The students have been warned of their failure to enforce the automobile laws and are to be given one more chance to enforce them through gen- eral cooperation. The case is an exact analogy to the history of the engineer- ing benches. Cooperation in eliminat- ing the abuses would have saved the benches; cooperation in enforcing the. auto rules will save the cars. De- flance of the University ruling regard- ing the benches will accompish noth- ing; defiance of the present auto rules will result in the total abolition of all cars. The issue is clear. The students who engaged in the removal of the benches last night should have decided what they were trying to accomplish, before they started on their work. AN EXPERIMENT COMPLETED Rumors emanating from the mouths of the sea-going collegians, passen- gers on the "floating university" just returned to port, have it that the trip, while enjoyable and enlightening, has not been altogether a success. It is said that many of the voyagers ex- pressed themselves as not being in favor of repeating the tour. Others" complained that the co-eds dist:acted much of their attention f om their studies, which of course, can be taken lightly, knowing that such conditions' would and do prevail to some ext.ert in any such circumstances. The thing of significance about the sight-seeing orgy which carried a stu- F dent body of 500 youths and 60 girls to all parts of the world is that, as" an experiment, it was not a failure. In all probability, it will be attempted again. Each attempt will undoubtedly witness additional improvements and' possibilities. There is no telling just where the paths of trail and of pro- gress may lead. "Foreign Michigan -Student Explains Chinese Situation." At Ieast, there is one person who knows what the whole trouble is all about. CAMPUS OPINION Anonymous communications will be disregarded. The names of communi- cants will, however, be regarded as t confidential upon request. A DESTRUCTIVE INFLUENCE To The Editor:-I At this time when the Ameilcan people earnestly desire a fair under-1 standing and true appreciation of China1 and the Chinese people, it seems unfor- tunate that such -movies as "Tell Itt to the Marines" and "Mr. Wu" are being presented to the American pub-t lie. It is to be hoped that not maiy cade is George C. Tyler's revival of Sir Arthur Pinero's "Trelawney of the Wells," which will enter the New Detroit Opera house for three per- formances-Thursday and Friday, May 5 and 6, with a Friday matinee. The play is tremendously interest- ing in the history of the theater, and has been produced frequently by such important ladies of the profession as Ethel Barrymore, Laurette Taylor (in the Player's Club production two years ago), and even Mary Mannering away back in the nebulous '90's. It is rather unique in itself in that it has no lead--which incidentally is the chief reason for Mr. Tyler's all-star cast. The characters were taken by Pinero as portraits from the theater's like in the '60's, even including a sur- reptitious impersonation of Tom Robertson in the role of Tom Wrench. At presentthe list of characters re- sembles a who's who in the trade, since it includes such veterans and celebrities as John Drew, Helen Gaha- gan, Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, Effie Shan- non, Otto Kruger, Wilton Lackaye, Eric Dressler, J. M. Kerrigan, Peggy Wood, Estelle Winwood, Henrietta Crosman, O. P. Heggie, Rollo Peters, John E. Kellerd, Lawrence D'Orsay and Frieda Inescort. ,PAY PRODUCTION AND DIRECTION As the last venture for the current season, Play Production and Direction will bend again to the light comedy which has proven so popular on the campus boards, the object of their In- tentions being the three-year-old opus of Lynn Starling, "Meet The Wife." Three years is not such a long time for a good play, and incidentally this was produced in moving pictures but a short time ago. Its theme and move- ment are replete with embarrassing and hilarious situations, and these are supported by rather clever dia- logue. Maitr Boland, more recently of "Cradle Snatchers" fame and still carying on in that capacity now in Detroit, was the star of the original production, along with Clifton Webb. The story is that of wife deserters, first and foremost, and the antics of two caught in the same domestic web. The lady in question lost her spouse in the San Francisco fire, but has managed to raise her children to some social position by dint of an extra- ordinary personality and the acquisi- tion of another husband. With the pertinacity peculiar to dramatic hus- bands, the first one returns and the other attempts to migrate-and the results are surprising. The cast for the production has not been announced as yet, but almost all of the campus talent would seem to be available the latter part of May (when the play will be produced), Mimes having closed its doors. Rich- ard Woelhaf, who built the sets for "He Who Gets Slapped" will again be in charge of the technical end, while David Owen will do the directing. -K. G.
