T H MICGHIGAN ILY [GAN DAILY I r w^y Perhaps we shall have compulsory physical edu- cation for all classes. Perhaps we shall have rules that will make us sleep eight hours every night. Perhaps we will have mentors to make us brush our teeth morning, noon, and night. Perhaps we will be forbidden to eat between meals. Perhaps the use of tobacco will be banned. One year of physical training at the University is perhaps excusable, as it acquaints the student with the gymnastic equipment of the athletic de- partment. There is no excuse, however, for two years of this work. The Students Still Pick The Wrong Shell .. . fun of it, without the (immense) thrill of ap- pearing in a stadium packed with 60,000 specta- tors. And what will the graduates do who for long have thought that the only way to prove that they are educated men, and to testify to their loyalty to Alma Mater, was to go with all their friends and relatives to cheer madly at the "big game" and to spend a lot of money swelling the "gate"? Perhaps they will apply to the Re- construction Finance Corporation for a loan to help pay off the mortgage on the stadium. As for the athletic undergraduates themselves, they may be forced to give up to study the time and talents that were meant for providing the popu- lace with a great spectacle. Anyhow, they will have new motive to hope and pray for the return of prosperity so that college athletics may be again conducted on a fitting scale of luxury. -New York Times. t .; , t PhoEog rap s LIVE FOREVER l As easy to use as a powder puff.

O'Brien by the state attorney-general's office to arrest out-of- state students and instructors who are operating their cars here under the licenses of their home states another University-town relation becomes complex. Once more the local policemen are placed at the enforcing end of rules which; will prove decidedly objectionable to all Ann Arbor visitors, and to students in particular. The merits of the state law are, in general, not to be questioned. But the wisdom of compelling its application in this unusual instance is doubt- ful. It is gravely unjust that a student who has his car in storage here -during the school year (at $4 a month) and uses it only at the begin- ning and end of vacation periods, should be called upon to buy two licenses. The law exempts business vehicles which are not operated in this state for a period of more than ten days by an owner residing in another state. It would seem, then, that cars of under- graduate owners receive less consideration than commercially operated out-of-state cars. This lack of consideration is more clearly evi- dent when one realizes that the student will use his auto only nine days in the year. Two days, before and after three vacations, two days on the J-Hop week-end, and one day at Thanks- giving, and in most instances the car is being used mainly for transportation home or to return here. The number of hours spent on the streets of Ann Arbor seems far too low to merit the price of second license. Furthermore, the student whose car is owned by' an out-of-state resident will be called upon to produce title certificates, inasmuch as the state law does not apply to him. All of this produces more red tape to entangle unsuspecting drivers. Considering the basis of this legislation we find that the "second license penalty" is inflicted because the out-of-state owner establishes a residence here by his nine-month sojourn. In direct contrast to this line of reasoning, the en- tering student from over the border is charged extra tuition by the University because he is ar out-of-state resident, Nevertheless Chief O'Brien is bound by law to have his eagle-eyed ticket-venders watch the streets when the auto ban is temporarily lifted The well-known game continues and the student is still guessing the wrong shell.

THURSDAY, JAN. 19, 1933 Let The J-HopS tand On Its Own Feet... A TRADITION is a tradition just' as long as it commands the respect of a large number of students. When, however, it loses this respect, it either dies out altogether, as Class Day has, or else, sustained by statutes, becomes a ruling imposed on the students, like the pot wearing tradition. To this latter category, it seems, has been added the J-Hop. In previous years, the Hop committees believed that since their parties were popular they needed no artificial means of infla- tion. Consequently, the no-party ban was never deemed necessary. Last year ,despite frantic lobbying by the committee members, the Student Council- refused to pass the ruling. The members believed that the J-Hop- should stand on its own feet financially. And the affair was a financial success despite the depression. But this year, all but two members of the Council have been argued into voting for the ban, and, as a result, fraternities will not be able to have parties the Friday night of the Hop week-end. The argument that this makes it: economical for fraternity men is easily disposed of. House parties will be held, regardless of the, ruling, but those attending will be practically firced to the additional expense of buying a ticket to the Hop, whether they want to or not, besides paying their own house bills. We feel that the Hop will be a financial suc- cess without any artificial rulings. If it is not; if it cannot stand on its own feet without being propped up by a number of bans, then it is time for the Hop to quit. But why not keep it a student activity sup- ported by those actively interested in attending, instead of foisting more bans and rules upon an already overburdened student body? Compulsory Toothbrushing For Undergraduates ... A MOVEMENT is under way to re- quire sophomores as well as fresh- men to take physical education. Although the sponsors of this program undoubtedly have the student's welfare at heart, we believe that this action would not have the desired end, namely improving the physical fitness of the under- graduate. As in the past with all paternalistic measures, the sponsors of the two-year program are certain that they know what is good for the student better than the student himself does. Perhaps they do, but any sort of compulsory program, in nine cases out of ten, sours the stu-. dent on the whole phase of physical education. The fact that everyone needs a certain amount of exercise is admitted, but it has been our ex- perience that when this is shoved down a per- son's throat, he naturally rebels against it and c ~ ilr i- e ,. at. n e ~c. f laCC (i 1'%1 a a ,a o fl# C_ ** A PROGRAM MADE INTERESTING BY THE ADDED ATTRACTIONS Mary Agnew ...........Dorothy Jordan Chick Brian ............... Eric Linden Mr. Joyce.................Roscoe Ates This is a pretty unconvincing story of a boy reporter on the fictitious New York Star, who ha. misguided- notions of how to acquire fame in his profession. Made from Level's novel "L'Epouvante," it begins as the stock country murder story-rain, thunder, lightning, an old inn with an old inn- keeper, loose shutters-and ends in a courtroom. It is the story of Chick Brian's rise, from a be- ginning as a reporter barely out of the office-boy stage on a cheap tabloid, to notoriety as a hunted criminal who endangers his life for his ideas of fame and fortune. Use of the old stock murder accessories around the Lame Dog Inn stamps the picture as pretty poor at the start. However, it has its good mo- ments. Good shots: the old innkeeper's lantern, part of his apron, and two shuffling feet coming down ;he stairs; his black cat, Susan, sniffing a dead >ody in the inn hall; three police officers giving Thick Brian the ultra-third degree in a glare of ight in Police Headquarters. Extremely silly shots: Brian's and Mary's speeches to the jury at Brian's trial; Brian's line so Mary when trying to keep her away from a :ecently murdered man: "it's different with me; 1 reporter's gotta look at everything-life, death, werything;" his poor reading of poorer lines rhen he is telling Mary of his plans for attaining -ame. The program is one of the best-balanced and nost interesting of the year. even including the eature. The rest of the bill would get three tars. A comedy, "Family Troubles." features lenry Armett, that convulsing Italian fellow, Ind red-headed Mickey, who has grown up from our Gang comedies. This would be better if the ,hugs in it didn't have to be Chinese, which are >ortrayed in the usual unfortunate manner-vi- :ious meins, long fingernails, and daggers. Mickey Mouse is really good, with some of the )est march and syncopated dance music the car- ,oons have put out. "Mickey's Nightmare" is about jO or so little Mickies who play havoc with his .ouse. A more-or-less-comedy attraction set in a 3roadcasting studio gives you a chance to see the 3oswell Sisters, Stoopnagle and Budd, and Kate Smith. Hearst presents the best pictures we've ,een of the recently-burned French ship Atlan- jique, some skiing, and some good ones (this is hard to believe) of the Meglin Kiddies tap- lancing on a transparent floor. _W.

ANN ARBOR WATER To The Editor: I am surprised to read in your columns that Prof. F. N. Menefee objects to the city using river water on what he terms "associated ideaE -one's memory -of what it has been." If thi is true, thousands of Americans in cities where the water supply comes from much more polluted streams than the Huron would be suffering from water psychosis. If his objection was valid, all those who have been through a packing house would become strict vegetarians, and those who have been raised on a farm would refuse to eat pork. Would it not be better to overcome our senti- mental objections and for the sake of the city health and the economy effected for the citizens, find some way to act upon the recommendations of the water commissioners? The special com- mittee headed by Prof. A. H. White which made an exhaustive study of the water problem pointed out that the present supply is on the borderline of danger because of its hardness. The three-fourths of the homes in Ann Arbor which do not have softeners in the basement would gladly forgetI the origin of their water if they could be saved the indignity of bathing in borax and drinking with one tongue in the cheek. When. Professor Menefee admits, as he did in his published interview, that the citizens are un- consciously paying a high tribute to the present system, I am led to believe that he will in time drop his sentiments and climb on board the water wagon.

Dis- patches published in yesterday's Times show how widespread is this dire necessity, and what con- sternation it is. causing among undergraduates and alumni.

By no means-keep it a secret. The resolution wants the western states to secede and leave the eastern states to form a sep- arate country.
