FOURe THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, SEPT. 19, 1933 - unnummawwww"m 'HE MICHIGAN DAILY Established 1890 you are with Romans you must be as the Romans, and the same thing is true of fraternities and so- rorities. If you don't like to fall in with the . Wis. ,.- f r, , s ? : ' X %'! A'. A,. . a' u plans of the crowd, then you are inevitably against the crowd, and will probably be happier unorganized. To summarize: don't fight shy of fraternities and sororities because you think they will jeop- ardize your academic career or lead you into the ways of Satan. Don't join, on the other hand, if you think you can't afford to, or if you feel you are temperamentally disinclined. But if you like to be with a crowd, if you like a large circle of intimate friends, then don't pass up the golden opportunity for four years of wholesome associa- tion which some fraternity or sorority may offer you.

A Challenge. I T IS A PLEASURE for us to wel- come the class of '37 to Ann Arbor. Ahead of you lie friendship, the joys of social in- tercourse, the stimulation of association with fine minds, the inspiration of leadership, the loneli- ness of thought. The University and all that goes with it are for you to' possess, for you are the reason it is here. In addition to welcome; we offer you a chal- lenge-a challenge to make the most of your opportunities. Four years from now you will graduate. It is yours to determine whether when your Com- mencement comes, you will look back with satis- faction or with remorse upon your Ann Arbor days. We wish you courage, and clear-sightedness, and the generous favor of fortune in all the uni- versity experiences the future holds for you. Michigan Traditions And Freshmen. T IS ONE of the most attractive traits of universities the world over that they have traditions. If the reason were to be searched for the universal affection of alumni for their alma maters, it would probably be found to consist very largely in the friendships begun and knit -close through the observance of old customs. Fraternities, sororities, and similar organiza- tions are built around traditional ceremonies. Scholastic achievement is recognized by tradi- tional rewards. Like every institution old enough to have gained the dignity of maturity, Michigan has her tradi- tions. Some of them are manifested in seeming trivialities, but the fact that alumni heartily en- dorse them proves the real worth of what lies back of them. The first of these with which the class of '37 will come in contact is the wearing of pots. Classes will begin next Monday, and at the same time the men of '37 will assume the badge of their yearling status in the form of a gray top-piece, to be worn on all occasions, social and otherwise, except Sundays. There will be some refractory freshmen, who will hake to be coerced by sophomores, but they will lose the spirit of the tradition. For the pot is the emblem of a freshman, and for him not to wear it is to be disloyal to his class. So band together against the sophomores, if you must, but show them '37 is proud it's '37 by wear- ing your pots. ScreenDRflections Screen 'ie,, AT THE MAJESTIC (Showing Through Tuesday) "THE SILK EXPRESS" "HEROES FOR SALE" The first of the two current feature attractions at the theatre on Maynard Street contains about all of the elements necesary to provide thrills through the medium of the screen. Practically all of the action takes place on a fast-moving silk express train-action which includes a dou- ble murder, an incendiary fire, business intrigue, the popular encephalitis, and a small amount of love interest. And even though the cast includes such experienced players as Neil Hamilton, Sheila Terry, Arthur Byron, Guy Kibbee, Allen Jenkins, Dudley Digges and Robert Barrat the production could hardly be termed outstanding, though it is the better of the two films on display. The second, "Heroes For Sale," which stars Richard Barthelemess and Loretta Young, has one of the weakest plots of the season. Obviously intended as a great moral play, the film left us with the conviction' that some scenario 'writers should be shot for making their characters do such damn-fool things at times. And the moral if we are not mistaken, could well be summed up in the statement, "Look out for yourself-A num- ber one-never plead for the masses when you are well on the way to becoming a member of the capitalistic class." The best acting in the pic- ture is done by Aline MacMahon, famous for the secretary role in 'Five Star Final." (Showing Wednesday Through Friday) "HER BODYGUARD" "SCARLET DAWN" The coming week-end brings to the Majestic Edmund Lowe and Wynne Gibson in "Her Body- guard," film version of a Corey Ford story, which you might have read recently in Collier's. The tale is all about a young lady who has climbed the ladder to musical comedy stardom, learning all the tricks on the way up. At this time her job is to play a millionaire "sugar-daddy" against her producer, The former, feigning to protect her jewels, hires a husky, dead-pan Irishman to serve as her bodyguard and see that she has little or nothing to do with the pro- ducer. Naturally, the bodyguard, played by Ed- mund Lowe, soon begins to steal the center of the picture and as a result-but that's enough, you've read Corey Ford and you might know that he can finish a story decently. Others in the cast include Edward Arnold, Johnny Hines, Marjorie White, Alan Dinehart and Fuzzy Knight. Playing with the above will be the latest film based ' on the Russian Revolution, "Scarlet Dawn," displaying the combined talents of Doug- las Fairbanks, Jr., and Nancy Carroll. The plot concerns a young Russian nobleman who loses his all through the great political upheaval and then concentrates his efforts toward the winning of a handsome young servant girl. The film, we understand, is quite bloody, whatever its other shortcomings. AT THE MICHIGAN (Showing Through Wednesday) "DISGRACED" "MIDNIGHT CLUB" Helen Twelvetrees has the spotlight in the film about the poor little gal who was led astray by Wally Graham, managing editor of the 'Ensian is a nice fellow but a little absent-minded. Last semester Wally elected a two hour political science course with a third hour of credit if he wrote a thesis, which he elected to do. Forgetting all about the thesis in the press of 'Ensian work, he was surprised to find an hour of E among his marks. . * * * Once the smell of printer's ink gets in the blood it can't be escaped, they say.

Yost, the "Grand Old Man of Mithigan," which has been printed annually for many years on the R. O. T. C.'s advertising leaflet for freshman. "I look upon our present system of military training primarily from the standpoint of the boy who re- ceives it. My son, who is now undergoing his second year in a military acddemy, is receiving certain benefits which result from training of this sort, I see the value of thi training reflected in him in many ways. I see Ipve and reverence of this country, her customs and institutions. I see recognition of constituted authority and the re- sultant discipline and self control that go hand in hand with obedience and loyalty. I see broad- ened shoulders and a broadened mind. I see in him the values that spring from co-ordination, co-operation, team-work, precision, accuracy, promptitude." Could this be "Buck" Yost? Or has "Hurry-Up" another son? * * * * After a wave of petty fraternity robberies dur- ing the past Summer Session Bob Miller, former varsity 'swimming team captain, rooming at the Delta Phi house, took two western six-shooters to bed with him, planned to inflict painful injuries on any maurauders. The next night when thieves entered his room, to'ok five dollars from his desk and frisked his clothing, Two Gun Miller slept peacefully through it, awakened next morning to find himself robbed. Last year's J-Hop made a profit, it has recently been announced. With the "Old Maestro" Ben Bernie for the leading band, 750 couples present at $7 a throw, Don Pedro for a second band, elab- orate decorations and a budget totalling nearly $5,000, the intricate accounting system used by Treasurer Robert Saltzsteii>has finally revealed that the profit for the dance was $3. The nsnuioal secretary of the "Lodge" arrived in Ann Arbor last summer to inspect the condi- tion of the local chapter Finding the Chi Psi house unmantled for the u ner he went across the street to the T. D. X. house, asked if he might stay overnight. He was awakened the next morning by the very irate porter who was inform- ing him that he hadn't got no right to stay there. The Thelta Delta Chi House, the astonished man was informed, is reservedfor members of the clan. does things in this picture too besides merely looking like Adrienne Ames. William Harrigan and Ken Murray are in the supporting cast. ' Midnight Club," in which Clive Brook is the leader of a smart crowd.of London jewel thieves, is above the standard oft1.average screen plays seen in Ann Arbor recently. Assisted admirably by George Raft, Helen Vinson and Alison Skip- worth, the suave Mr. Brook gives a very con- vincing performance, in a movie which has been properly produced. The tale calls for a slight stretch of the imagination perhaps, but it is none- theless cleverly done and amusingly presented. (Showing Thursday Through Saturday) "MURDERS IN THE ZOO" "COCKTAIL HOUR" Charlie Ruggles, Lionel Atwill and Kathleen Burke share honors in "Murders In The Zoo," one of the two feature films to be shown at the Mich- igan the latter part of this week. Miss Burke, better known as the "Panther Woman," is the young lady who won Paramount's nation-wide contest in search of a woman who more nearly resembled a panther-or something of the sort. The prize which Miss Burke captured as the win- ner of the contest was a lead part in the film, "Island of Lost Souls." She has been publicized as having the combined exotic characterizations of Marlene Dietrich and Myrna Loy. The film "Murders in the Zoo" concerns, so far as we were able to ascertain, strictly that-murders in the zoo. Bebe Daniels, assisted by Randolph Scott, the University of North Carolina graduate who also plays in "Murders in the Zoo," plays the impor- tant part in "Cocktail Hour," the second week- end feature. The plot is woven about the case of a successful and brilliant young woman who wishes to taste life and all its pleasures without the hampering cardons of matrimony. It's been done before of course, but it should be interesting to note how Miss Daniels goes about it. v WE HOPE.

For the Students by the Students A Religious Education Program Begins 6 p. m. Sunday COME URING the coming week the fra- ternity-sorority question will loom large in the minds of a large number of in- coming freshmen. To organize or not to organize will have.to be answered within a few days, and it is only natural that the rushees-to-be should be giving the matter considerable thought. What are, the advantages of membership in a social fraternity or sorority? In the first place there is the wholesome pleas- ure of enjoying the university experience in in- timate association with one congenial group. Friendship is a big thing; while not denied, surely, to unorganized students, organization cer- tainly is a powerful stimulus to it. In the second place, a study of scholastic aver- ages indicates that membership in a sorority or fraternity tends -to encourage academic effort. It invariably surprises persons in general and par- ents in particular to learn that the scholastic ayerage of organized students is always higher than that of the unorganized. Yet such is the case, as it is revealed in black and white in the statistics compiled each year by the dean's office., Most fraternities enforce freshman study rules and forbid mid-week dissipation. And in acclimat- ing himself to university standards and methods, the erstwhile high school student finds associa- tion with experienced upperclassmen invaluable. Furthermore, membership in a fraternity or so- rority is nine times out of ten a sound social in- vestment. The ability to handle oneself socially is an important art, and much of its technic may be acquired through sorority and fraternity life. And finally, membership in a fraternity or so- rority is undeniably an aid to the student who engages in extra-curricular activities. The days when sororities and fraternities "ran things" are, Allah to be praised, a thing of the past. But brothers -and sisters who know the ropes are still big helps, as well in the four-year process of mak- The First Presbyterian Church Huron and Division Streets Greets Invites Welcomes ALL STUDENTS Dr. Merle H.
