Fraternities can not refuse this permission to the office of the dean, very naturally, and certain- ly that office can not feel that the permission was gained without pressure of the most unfair sort. Give any fraternity the right to vote, in the abstract, whether it desired to allow University police- men to apprehend auto ban vio- lators on its private property and if the reply is not in the nega- tive it is because the office of the diean would reserve the right to suppress the results. Students cannot protest; frater- nities cannot protest. Certainly both can appeal in the spirit fair play That they be relieved from such an unreasonable demand. It is a request which has never been made before for any cause, even for the enforcement of prohibition. If this practice continues can fra- ternities be secure from University proctors who will eventually tuck all the lads into bed at 10:30? Why this latest invasion of private property? THE "SKIPPER" PASSES Edwin J. Mather, known to the hundreds of Michigan students during his nine years as Vasity 'basketball coach as "Skipper," died last August after a lingering illness of 18 inonths duration. It is la- mentable that Coach Mather's death should have occurred at -pre- cisely the untimely period of his career that it did, just at the crest of his success and good fortune. His passing is a poignat loss not only to the individuals who knew him and worked under him and loved him but to the University generally, and though it is sus- tained by the thought of the in- spiration he served to Michigan men for an altogether too brief time. Three basketball championships. were brought to Michigan under the "Skipper's" regime and not once during this time did a Mather coached team fall below the first division. But it is not for the cham- pionships he brought, it is not for the Elys . and Haggertys and Oosterbaans he developed-that he will be remembered. It is rather for his rugged fighting spirit and his ability to supersaturate his teams with that spirit, so that they might rise to heights above their normal reach. It is rather for his insistance on clean sportsmanship. It is rather for his faculty of moulding men. For nine years he instilled these traits in Michigan teams, and then the "Skipper" lost the greatest game \of all. Never, even during his fatal illness, did his interest in Michigan and her athletic teams ag, and though confined to a hos- pital bed last winter he listened to play by play reports of the basketball games over a telephone. the loss of the "Skipper" is one which will extend beyond the members of the basketball squad n its seriousness; it is one which will be felt by the University as a whole and the entire world of in- ercollegiate sports. FOOTBALL DANCES? At a meeting of the Interfrater- iity Presidents' Discussion Group ast spring, a set of resolutions vere passed relating to the con- luct of fraternity dances after' ome football games. The action was the result of an investigation onducted by members of this ;roup following a great deal of omment on the difficulties some- imes connected with parties of his sort. Included in the resolu- ions were sections providing that he dances be closed to persons ther than those who were direct- y connected with the fraternity, nd. that full reports be submitted .o-the office of the Dean of Stu- Ients immediately following the >arties. Provisions of this kind, however, ould hardly be expected to have ny very noticeable effect on the onduct of the parties themselves. t is hardly to be expected that a raternity would jeopardize its ood standing by submitting a re- >ort stating that it had been un- ble to conduct a party of the pproved type. The reports wouldc >robably be nothing more than an ddition to the already cumber-, ome "red tape" procedure for ob- aining permission to hold dances. So far as the regulation which >rovides for closed parties goes, [hat should be left to the indi- -idual fraternity. There are timesl when the fraternity would be un- ble to handle a crowd larger than is own membership, and in suchf OATERLL INR DUCIN'" 1 PERT GERT * * * REALLY, NOW, THE only reasonr we finallf decided to print this lit- tle ditty is simply that we want you all to see how easy it is to break into the best part of the The Daily.

The question of whether or not students should drive automobiles is quite removed from the question as to whether or not students should be secure from instrusion in their own rooms on their own property. The federal government guaran- tees to every citizen the security of his own home against instrusion by any governmental officer or private citizen. Even the extremi- ties of the prohibition amendment haNe not altered this right. By the time that a young man or young woman reaches college age he is generally free from intrusion into his private affairs even by his parents. There could be no more conclusive evidence that invasion of private property is incompatible with the social system under which we live. It remained for the University officials, or rather for those of them who have in charge the en- forcement of the automobile ban, to overstep this common right of citizenship and intrude upon the bounds of private property. That these officials, by their educational authority, have the power to coerce fraternity groups into any action which they may see fit is unden- iable; but that they should use that power to intrude on the pri- vate property of students attend- ing this University is not only in- credible but it is almost initoler- rable. Yet this is exactly what the of- fice of the dean of students is accomplishing when it requests (a request tantamount to a demand in the nature of this situation) that the fraternity presidents give to them permission to enter their property and seek out violators of the automobile ban. It is a plain violation on the part of the ad- ministrative authorities of a right which has been held inviolate by the highest governments on earth. Naturally no fraternity dares re- fuse this right-the good graces of the dean and the poliQe power which the University gives to him are too important factors to be lightly reckoned with. If the of- adorable expression around the ear lobes. But don't let us interrupt. MORE WAILS E'er I'd go, the books I'd scan I knew just what to take They sent me to a learned man.

And then I though zoology But I've changed to baking pie ., I thought I'd be a doctor Press supplies to the already ade- quate work an enthusiasm and strength of characterization which is extremely satisfying and in it- self commanding of respect. The headliners of the presentation are John Cromwell as Wick Snell, a night editor fed up with his job and a man of many amours; Helen Flint as Myra May, a secretary and g old-digger with a past; Hugh O'Connell, who last year played in The Racket, as Charlie Haven, drunken reporter, libertine, and sentimentalist. Lawrence Leslie as a cub reporter supplies a goodly number of the laughs as does Wil- liam Pawley, another cub. The whole production staged by George Abbott with its abundance of "hit" qualities bounds along hilariously and with a diffidence that is captivating and engrossing, and gains for itself the title of be- ing better than its sister play, The Front Page. CHORAL UNION SERIES One of the most encouraging things in a general forecast of the mpsical season on the campus is the program which the University - Musical Society has arranged to celebrate its Semi-Centenary Anni- versary. Fifty years of concerts by most of the established artists of the last half-century culminate this year in a program which for balanced excellence and general appeal is the best which the So- ciety has yet been able to arrange. An innovation which adds greatly to the series is the elimination of the Extra Concert group, making all the concerts of more or less equal value and attractiveness. It would be difficult to identify any one concert as superior to the others on the program but per- haps the reappearance of Amelita Galli-Curci after an absence of three years from Ann Arbor audi- ences draws the greatest response. A temperamental lady in some ways, in matters of her art she is nevertheless a thoroughgoing craftsman, as industrious as she is talented. Her command of the coloratura field is well deserved. Another veteran of the concert stage is Fritz Kreisler who appears just before Christmas vacation. He has long ago run the critical gauntlet safely and is now ranked as the greatest of violin virtuosi; his reappearance may settle the local controversy about his trans- cendental technique. Rosa Ponselle always was an Ann Arbor favorite. Last heard two years ago she fulfilled splendidly the promise she held out at her first appearance some ten years ago in a May Festival concert, and now will guarantee an evening of authoritative singing in the dra- matic soprano field. A personality that dominated Ann Arbor when he last appeared is Rachmaninoff, composer and pi- anist. Few artists have such com- plete mastery of their field as he possesses and his concert should be a brilliant exposition of imagina- tion and skill on the piano. Among the younger artists Yelhi D'Aranyi and Vladimir Horowitz rank as brilliant new stars. The Hungarian mademoiselle has com- AllI ___. W._ ___ _... .-.lu-_ - _- But now I'm wrong I see.
