BICYCLE MENAGERIE--Confusion seems to be the best description of the impression of bikes at the
University. Especially confused are the pedestrians and automobile drivers who contend with the
bicycle riders.

In one such case, a student own-

ed that "it had been once, but I
lost the key."
Then, when asked by the police
how much the mising bicycle was
worth, he replied, "it cost me five
dollars. This," he said, "was the
end of the conversation."
The student remarked that,
"after all," it really didn't matter.,
"was intending to fix the flat
tire, paint the bike black with
gold trim, and then sell it for fif-.
teen dollars.
Ten Dollar Profit
"That would make a profit of
ten dollars and on one year's use,"
he added.
Not all students are so fortu-
nate in finding inexpensive bicy-
cles, however. Some own expen-
sive models which are also sub-
ject to theft.
Despite all this, there are over
16,000 bicycles in Ann Arbor, ac-
cording to estimates by the Ann
Arbor police, with the majority
of those owned and operated by
University students.

To Hold Meeting
The University Young Demo-
cratic Club will sponsor a "get'
acquainted" coffee hour tomorrow

other interested students are in-

officers and talk over plans for the
coming year.

When she passed Central High
School on her way to school she
was called "nigger." She said this
name calling had been happening
to her and her friends with in-
creasing frequency lately.
Most Negroes, she said, hold
Governor Orval Faubus to blame
for the crisis but are proud of
Mayor Mann and the school board.
1,200 Attend
In Central High School many
pupils stayed out of school yester-
day. Only about 1,200 of the 2,000
enrollment showed up.
Some students explained that
this was partly due to parental
pressure against having their chil-
dren go to school with 'niggers,"
and partly from fear that violence
might break out.
The consensus seems to be that
white girls are the most extreme
in their attitudes towards Integra-

Two Operettas
Gilbert & Sullivan Society will
present its 11th year of operettas
with two productions, "Trial by
Jury" and "The Sorcerer."
The two operettas are sched-
uled to be performed Nov. 21, 22,
and 23 at the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre, beginning at 8 p.m.
"Trial by Jury" is a tale of a
breach of promise in a marriage
suit which results in true Gilber-
tian fashion.
A love potion administered to
an entire village and the mis-
matches which result is the theme
of "The Sorcerer."
Union Parley Off
The proposed Union Parley has
been cancelled, Lou Susman, '59,
Chairman of the Union's Academic
Services committee, announced
yesterday.
Originally scheduled as, a two
day debate of a political nature,
the 'parley was cancelled because
of the similar nature of part of
this year's lecture series.

'em" if she got the chance.
Another said she guessed they
had "a right to be there Just so
they don't bother me." When ask-
ed what "bothered" meant, she
said, "I don't want them showing
up at high school dances or foot-
ball games."

Tom Farmer, 17 years old, said
if he ever saw "three, or four white
fellows jump a nigger, I'd help
