THE DAILY RESTSt
The Daily's stand on the senior
class dues in the literary school
bhas been stated with emphasis. For
a single'day The Daily is content
simply to reiterate its former state-
ments and demands. On this day
it is hoped that those officers of
the senior class in whom the power
is so evidently and even conspicu-
ously vested will formulate some
worthy action to correct the situa-
tion.
Tomorrow morning if such a plan
is not forthcoming The Daily will
resume its campaign with new fire
and emphasis. The situation must
be corrected. How about some ac-
tion?

WHY THE GRID BANQUET?
Speaking of local and national
dignitaries with the familiarity
which would almost lead one to
think they were popular members
of the student body seem to be one
of the characteristics of the Grid-
iron banquet. By some this is re-
ceived with a shock, as being a de-
grading influence on dignity. But
it has its good points.
The affair sponsored by Sigma
Delta Chi was originated for the
sole purpose of "razzing" anyone
who might attend, regardless of his
position, and the tradition has been
carried on without very great h&rm.
to anyone. In fact it has been her-
alded as a time when students
could meet professors, and average
citizens could meet great states-
men on the same level. That such
an opportunity has the favor of all
included is -shown by an acceptance
to the coming banquet sent by Sen-
ator James Couzens, who said, "The
fact that dignity, place and rank
are to be forgotten in a spirit of
good-fellowship appeals to me im-
mensely."
No one who has attended has
ever suffered a complete loss of
dignity. With such men present as
those' who are usually ehosen as
speakers or who are subject to the
razz of the others, there is slight
chance of a loss of dignity, because
they are of such calibre that they,
can razz or be razzed and still re-
tain it.
Most of all, the spirit and the
associations of the banquet serve
to remind all who attend that re-
gardless of place or rank, which
may have been the result of many
car on the suspicion that it is be-
ing driven by a student,- is un-
doubtedly the privilege of the of-
ficer, but to address a woman
driver in the above fashion seems
to the writer to be the height of
discourtesy.
A police badge is not an insignia
which gives one the right to insult
the persons who pay his salary and
behind which he can take defense
after so doing.
These officers, employed by the
University, might at least act as
gentlemen, whether they are such
or not.

Editorial Comment

A COLLEGE EXPERIMENT
(From New York Evening Post)
The great growth in college en-
rollments which has taken place in
this country in the past decade has
brought home to the larger uni-
versities the need of doing some-
thing to obtain for their under-
graduates those social benefits and
advantages which are a natural
and valuable part of life in a .-small
college
The Harvard "house plan" has
been projected with this object in
view. Now Yale is aboutto under-
take a similar development. Several
new residence quadrangles are to
be erected, each with its own din-
ing hall and common rooms. The
present plan of class dormitories
will eventually be abandoned or at
least modified, for it is proposed
that the new residence units be
made up of students from all four
classes. Each student will thus be
a member of a small but represen-
tative group and should be able to
make broader and more varied so-
tacts than is now possible.
Both the Harvard and the Yale
plans differ from the Oxford and
Cambridge system of separate col-
leges, with which they are some-
times compared, in that they cause
no division of the teaching staff or
of courses offered. Lectures and
recitations will be held as at pre-
ent. The change comes only in the
living arrangements of the stu-
dents.
Harvard and Yale are making an
experiment. Judgment upon its
value must be suspended until it
has been in operation for a while.
But everything points to attain-
dinner, but a formal banquet."
A banquetis easily worth two
dollars more than a mere din-
ner, he said.
Only $2.75 of the admission price
is for the banquet, officials point
out. The remaining two bits is to
cover the cost of mailing tickets
and to pay for souvenirs.
Yes, souvenirs will be given out
to all guests at this year's grid
banquet-unless no souvenirs can
be found that cost less than ten
cents a dozen.
As a relief from the long speeches
of previous years, committee mem-
bers confide their hopes of present-
ing a number of little skits to pro-
vide amusement.
Here is Rolls conception of The
Daily sports staff and women's
staff combining in a tasteful ballet
dance:
~NVNISR4
Confessions of a Chorus GirI
Where does the sissy sports staff
end and the wonderful (remember
this is Rolls) women's staff begin?
The sports writers would run
a banner headline when they
defeated us in basketball last
week, would they? Now maybe
we're even with them!
The grid-iron banquet resembles
the other chief function of the
University, the home-coming foot-1
ball game, in that it attracts many
prominent men from all over the
nation to Ann Arbor.

VIRTUE, IF ANY-
Press notices have just come to,
hand from the esteemed manage-
ment of the Cass Theatre in De-
troit in which there is considerable*
gurglement over the fact that
"Hello Yourself" will be held over
to play a third week-out of defer-
ence of public demand.
Critic is tempted to remark that
God may be good but He certainly
is not very merciful; for "Hello
Yourself" really is pretty bad.
I have no information on this
point but it certainly seems to meI
that George Choos, who does the
"presenting," has put something
over on the Warings. As a musical'
comedy it is a weak imitation of!
"Good News" and on a lower artis-
tic plane than the Opera, if that
is possible. Warings' are good, but
not a bit better than they have any
business being; of course, they,
