Hamilton Arthur H. Smith Dix Humphrey Walter Yeagley THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1928 Night Editor-Pierce Rosenberg ing the week, there was too much unnecessary addressing of the class of '32. A few speakers, well- chosen, can accomplish much more than a large number of mediocre ones. The speeches by the more important notables last week were of high standard and well-re- ceived, but the addition of less im- portant Speakers with nothing to say hurt ,the general effect. The examinations, it must be admitted, could have been given at 9 o'clock1 as well as 8 o'clock. Other needed! changes were discussed by fresh- men, upperclassmen, and faculty alike; and while the week next' year may not be radically changed, there may be some needed im- provements. There were many things to ap- plaud. The athletic contests were very successful and were enthusi- astically supported. The Union smoker was a pronounced success. The assembly, Thursday night, brought forth much favorable comment. The general coopera- tion of fraternities and advisors tended to make the works run smoothly. The attitude of the freshmen was fine, only a very few marring the week. Examinations were taken seriously, the new stu- dents took advantage of most of the opportunities offered, and sin- cere efforts were made by the year- lings to do their share. Professor Frayer is already start- ing plans for the week next year. Among other things,' he has a serious problem to face in that of settling the Sunday program matter. Local churches resent the fact that the University plans a special convocation for the stu- dents, and voiced their protests this year, asking that the students be allowed to go where they wished. The University gracefully gave in, but planned a talk on "The Student's Faith" for those who wished to come. Forty at- tended. Some better way will have to be found. Other problems con- front Professor Frayer and the committee. But their second Fresh- man week was a success, and in- deed it glows better in the light that it has had but two years to shapen. Next year's incoming stu- dents will probably find many new and better things to greet them on the threshold of University life. CHEERING SECTION _. _ E ROLLS THAT COLUMN YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR In England two people fell' through a skylight, from which vantage point they had been watching a ball.

Music And Drama i MIMES MORE OR LESS I I Announcements appearing about Opera try-outs suggest that Mimes is again getting under way with the task of providing theater en- tertainment for the Campus. No official announcement regarding plans for" the coming season has been forth coming but if last sea- son's record is any indication there should be a number of interesting bills presented. Mimes .fulfills on this Campus the quite unenviable part of edu- cating movie-minded collegians to the demands and advantages of in- telligent theater going. The ex- tent to Which Mimes carries out this duty is, of course, debatable as various articles appearing in this column will bear witness. But no one would take issue against the statement that Mimes, with assist- ance from Comedy club, is fight- ing a more or less losing battle against the palaces of the flat- drama both locally and in Detroit. Founded in 1912, Mimes was or- ganized entirely of amateurs with the object of producing a student written show for the amusement and encouragement of students and alumni. With the backing of the Union the annual brain child has been exhibited under the more or less camouflaging title of the Opera. It has invariably made money. Not so, invariably it has set precedents. This year's show, shrowded in as much mystery as the new Ford car was once, seems likely to do both. If that happens every politician in the Union will rejoice. Nor will this column weep. But a sentiment has for some time been more or less apparent deploring the fact that the stock company side of Mimes should devote so much time to the production of old hits -and some not such very good hits as 'that-without giving any time at all to the not unreasonable job of providing amateur outlet for student plays. With its facilities Mimes could give splendid produc- tion to a student written play. The play may not exist which can hold a local audience but certainly there is always George M. Cohan to fall back on in case of a dent in the box office, and the assur- ance that Michigan is giving Princeton and Yale a race in the Theater Intime field should more than compensate for the labor in- volved. Of course, Mimes works under a handicap. Without financial en- dowment, fighting the competition of play production courses on the academic side which properly should be transferred to the prac- tical, and without the machinery for co-operation with such play- writing courses as there are in the University, it finds its chief duty in initiating Joe Campus to the the- ater. And a thankless job that is. But with the recent developments on the Rhetoric faculty to assist in the production of student plays, the outlook does seem somewhat more hopeful that Michigan will achieve" some means of completely amateur theatrical expression. The shade of Avery Hopwood would certainly cheer. Well, if we don't pretty soon, we maya pack up and go home. register as well AN EXPLANATION Yesterday morning an editorial appeared in these columns criti- cising.the office. of the dean of students for the policy of entering fraternity property to take num- bers of automobiles operated in violation of the automobile ban. It has been explained since that time that one of the chief rea- sons for this move is 'the fact that several fraternities are sus- pected of having retained cars here for the purpose of rushing during the present week, attempt- ing to evade the ban by late regis- tration on the part of the car owners. The Daily; ,did not mean in any sense to condone the violators of the ban who have thus been escap- ing punishment. This publication believes, as it has continuously be- lieved, that modification of the complete automobile ban' along sane lines can come only if the students display sympathy with rmoderate measures. There was ut- terly no intention of defending either individuals or fraternities which have violated the automo- bile ruling of the Regents on the part of The Daily. FRESHMAN WEEK IN REVIEW There are approximately 100 seats remaining of the total of 1200 in the Cheering Section. The block "M" this year is already the largest in the history of the Un!- versity and Michigan students have made a great gain in insur- ing the perpetuation of the color- ful letter on a scale larger than ever before. But they also have an even greater opportunity in that by continuing to enroll until the full allotment of seats is oc- cupied they will be virtually as- sured of the largest student cheer- ing section in the country. That this may be accomplished arrangements have been made such that any student who has already applied for tickets can by calling at the office of the Board l in Control of Athletics in the Ad- ministration building on Ferry] field have his tickets changed to seats in the cheering section. ' Another reason for enrollment in the cheering section is that only there can a first or second Coolidge paddles a Birch Canoe, says a headline in the world's greatest newspaper. Well, so did Hiawatha, and they both got Minnehahas. This Rae fellow furnishes the silver lining to the black cloud cast by the bemoaned loss of Emery, the student's friend.

A. * * * Prof. William A. Frayer of the history department, to whom many compliments must go for his suc- cessful direction of the past Fresh- man Week, is, on the whole, satis- fied with the way in which the events went and with the excel- lent cooperation shown by upper- classmen, fraternities, and others. He is sure that the 1928 event was far better than the first, in 1927, and that profiting by mistakes, those in the future may come nearer to attaining the degree de- sired by the University. Criticisms are always outspoken, and such is the case with the past week. The new students were in- clined to grumble at the 8 o'clock examinations, the long series of talks, the triteness of the speeches, and other things. Many of these grumblings were justified, but if the incoming students received or saw nothing more in Freshman week than those "hardships," they failedi in finrlinio-the iini1evviinor year student be assured of good seats for all the games this fall. Good seats, and a chance to be of service to Michigan in helping her to establish the largest and most colorful block letter cheering section in the country should in- deed be sufficient reasons for urg- ing any student to enter the sec- tion.

GISH IN THE LEGIT Fascinating Dorothy Gish, cine- mastar of worldwide fame has de- serted the screen for the speaking stage to make her debut as a star at the Shubert Detroit Opera House next Sunday night, Sept. 30. After playing the week in Detroit and one in Pittsburgh MissrGishtakes her new play to Broadway where it is expected she will create a sen- sation. "Young Love," Miss Gish's new play, is awittysophisticated comedy of the revolt of youth written by Samson Raphaelson, the author of "The Jazz Singer." In it Miss Gish has a rare opportunity to display her interesting personality and gleaming through the flesh and blood contacts of the speaking stage and she promises to be even more alluring than in her screen triumphs "Orphans of the Storm" and "Nell Gwyn." Sharing honors with Miss Gish is James Rennie, star of "The Great Gatsby," and "Crime" and her own husband, as leading man. The supporting company has been pick- ed from the best of Broadway ac- tors, the play being staged by George Cukor and presented by Kenneth Macgowan and Sidney Ross. - an U1 I1inshe - I Falls Smartest = ..
