these things take time. They all de-
tract from grades. Yet all of them
are worthwhile, and the society that,
recognizes them is correspondingly
worthy.
USE DISCRETION
Those students who have recently
become victims of the sudden roller
skating fad which has infested the
University will do well to exercise
not only discretion but care as to
where they work off their pent upI
energy.
Skating in the streets, particularly{
at night, is so obviously dangerous
that a word of warning seems hardlyj
necessary. "Hitching" to the rear orl
sides of automobiles is even more
perilous. Yet many students have
been guilty of both practices during
the past few days.
If students must skate, they do not
have to go to the extreme in doing so.
The corridors of Angell hall, or any
other building, were never intended
for roller rinks. There is no shortage
of paved sidewalks in Ann Arbor.
VISITATION
In connection with the meeting ofI
the Michigan Academy now taking
place, visiting high school teachers
from all parts of the State will inspect
University ;classes today and tomor-
row in order to familiarize themselves
with the system followed in class
work. They will report to their re-
spective high school faculties on their
return and considerable data will be
obtained which can be given prospec-
tive students of the University. Sug-
gested by Registrar Smith, the plan
should work to the benefit of both
the University and the high schools
represented by visiting faculty. It
is one of the many factors which will
improve the relations between the
University and the high schools of the
State.
Since Admiral Latimer obtained an
agreement from both the Nicaraguan
Liberals and Conservatives pledging
observance of American lumber com-
pany property, critics have been given
another opportunity to rave over our
"dollar diplomacy."
"Battle Looms in Nicaragua." This
means that Admiral Latimer will have
to busy himself with establishingM
some more safety zones.
"President Asks More Care at Rail
Crossings." And more in approach-
ing them would also prove beneficial.

The venerable Mr. Lowell, Prexy of
Harvard, has demanded the disnissal
of the policemen who took part in
the Harvard Square Theater riot last
February. There are two ways of
looking at everything, and ROLLS
feels that Prexy Lowell has no optical
illusions.
President Lowell has found a means
of avoiding theater rcots-arrest the
cops!

An industrial boom is sweeping the

A LINK
With the belief that the parents of
Michigan students are interested in
reports of the activities of the stu-
dent body and in the development of
ideas and movements at the Univer-
sity, The Daily plans to inaugurate, at'
the beginning of the next school year,
a section toappear weekly, which will
contain reprints of articles that have
appeared during the week previous.
This section, to be called the Mich-
igan Weekly, will cater to the parents
of all Michigan students, and to the
alumni of the institution who are in-
terested inWkeeping in touch with con-
ditions as they are represented and
developed here.
With the great increase in the acti-
vities of metropolitan newspapers in
Ann Arbon, and the grossly exagge-
rated accounts that creep into the
columns of these papers due to faulty
and hasty reporting, and misrepresen-
tation of facts due to wrong emphasis,
it is wise that such a move be taken.
The columns of the college paper of-
fer to the University and to the stu-
dents the place wherein the intimate'
side of the story is presented, where
the facts may be told from the stand-
point of the aggregate student body.
And the pareints of the students here,
and the friends of the University, are
entitled to an uncolored and an im-
partial account of incidents. The
Michigan Weekly will become the
voice of the University, carrying to
the world facts, not fiction.

A DRAAIATICAL ANSWER
To The Editor:
As a kind soul, we are only too glad
to tell why the "intellects of the
cynosures of the campus drama" have
not been simulated by such dramatic
chefs d' oeuvre as were named by the
Herr Doktor Smeed .
Let us first exclude; such cheap
concotions as "Hurricane" a flimsy
melodrama 'even more "pseudo" than
"The Last Warning", which at least
was not damned and sired by a pop-
ular movie actress; and "The Fugi-
tive", thesis-drama at its worst. Next
let us eliminate such impossible ex-
travaganzas as "Back to Methuselah",
which nearly bankrupted the Theater
Guild, and "Caesar and Cleopatra"
produceable only in Yost Field-House.
Next let us exclude the turgid "Great
God Brown", a great dramatist's only
fall from grace.
Let us leave out too, such preten-
tious fustian as Samson in Chains, El
Gran Galeoto; and "The Bell,- pos-
sibly The Sunken Bell-a tedious fan-
tasy, not to mention The Dream Play,
written during one of Strindberg's
periodical trips to the madhouse. Fur-
ther, let us cast aside those plays be-
yond the talents of campus actors,
such as Desire Under The Elms, Cy-
rano, the outworn Candida, Hairy Ape,
The Dybbuk, and the works of Ibsen,
Sheridan, Wilde, and the adroit trick-
ster Molnar. As for Moliere, his stale
slapstick can be observed in any com-
edy at the Maj.
However, in spite of Smeed's alarm-
ing jeremiads we are heartened to
note in this season's roster: S. S.
Glencairn, superior in every way to
Welded or The Dreamy Kid; The
Torchbearers, Kelly's expert satire on
amateur dramatics, much funnier than
the precious buffooneries of The Man
Who Married a Dumb Wife; The Man
of Destiny, a better play than the sen-
timental masterpiece of Shaw's sen-
ility, St. Joan; R. U .R., Capek's satire
on our over-mechanized civilization;
To The Ladies, that engaging ridicule
of Babbottry; He, a greater play than
any in Smeed's list.; The Trumpets
Shall Sound, one of the most signifi-
nn-F of - + -1 . " -1 A-"n .~ i
"There's a cheap skate," remarked
Gliding Gladys when her roller skates
developed tire-trouble.
Esculators for Angell Hall is the
slogan of the campus politician seek-
ing the skater-vote.

SEND THE TEAM NORTH
We have the solution of the base-
ball team's failure. Send the team to
Alaska to train. Of course all the bigI
leagues go south, but they have no
scientific reason for doing so. Here's
our logic-the team goes south and
gets accustomed to playing in warm
climates. Then it returns home to
play in Michigan snow storms. Send
the team north so that the players
may get a vigorous training to pre-
pare them for this strenuous climate.

President Little says that the "autoj
ban" talk was his little April Foolf
joke. And we wager that they print-{
ed it as front page stuff at Princeton.
Yes, Princetonian, we admit that we
have co-eds, but we also have autos.
Of course it didn't come out on
April 1, but that was the catch. The
joke is really on the Detroit papers.

this circle Mrs. Cheyney, mysterious,
flawless, a compelling personality,
and her strange butler, move in the
usual sequence. But at the same
time she has a weather eye to busi-
ness interests, which, it transpires,
is separating her guests from their
watches, rings, purses, jewels. . . .The
result, of course, (since the author is
Lonsdale) is not what, you might ex-
pect.

Under ordinary circumstances the
establishment of a new honor society
on this campus would not be desir-
able or wise, considering the already
existing dozen or so that we have. A
new one has, come, however, and one
which is so sound and so sensible
that even the most sceptical will wel-t
come it-that is Phi Kappa Phi.
There are types of scholastic achieve-
ment which are not reflected in grades
alone, it seems; and there are stu-
dents who are spending their time
in extra curricular pursuits just as
valuable and just as broadening as
any course of study there is. Thus
far, the so-called honor societies have
been narrow to the extreme; they
