THE RECEPTION The reception held tonight for1 the Summer Session students and faculty is a manifestation of one of those pleasant little community entertainments that are practicable only in an institution with an en- rollment similar to that of this summer's session. Too often and too unavoidable is the situation wherein there is an austere bar- rier between pupil and professor, due to the unfortunate circum-1 stance of mass production in edu- cation, i.e., our heavily populated universities. In the Summer Ses- sion, however, an entirely differ- ent spirit rules. The student pop- ulation is relatively small and pro- fessors may meet their studentsy socially as well as academically. The Summer Session function to- night is one of those levellers that' tend to reduce unfortunate bar- riers to a full and complete under- standing of professor by pupil and pupil by professor. In addition to that it is more. It is a mixer for the student body themselves. It serves as a medium for forming new acquaintances among a group who, for thermost part, are strange to each other. And so the reception tonight in1 the League building should be ap- preciated as not only the means of a single evening's entertainment,' but also as holding potentialities' for future friendships and contacts. 0 CONSERVATION Convictions resulting from viola- tions of the conservation laws in Michigan during the month of May numbered 273, and the total fines and costs amounted to $6,070.75 ac- cording to the latest report of the' department of conservation. These! figures are gratifying in the ex-: treme for they indicate that the protection of the wild life in the state has been complete and effi- cient. The arrests and convictions were for offenses ranging from hunting deer without a license to taking undersized fish.9 Michigan is one of the states of the union possessing a very large area of game country. The north-k ern peninsula is almost virgin country with its woodlands and for-1 ests full of deer, beavers, and gamebirds, and its streams heavily1 stocked with fish. The vastness] of this wilderness, and the small have done exceptionally meritori- ous. It is indeed a sad reflection on human character that so many of our citizens violate the laws which have been laid down to protect the game, and to preserve in its origi- nal condition the unpopulated sec- tion of the state. When it is real-' ized that observation of these laws by everyone will result in so many benefits, in a greater abundance1 of fish and game, in the maintain- ing of a beautiful vacation ground, and in the preservation of primi- tive America, the action of these violators shows poor sportsman- ship and a boorish disregard for the interestsdofgtheir fellow men. The highest degree of punishment which can be legally given them is no more than deserved. It should be realized by sports- men and vacationists that it is to their own advantage to obey the conservation laws. The urge to hunt, trap, or fish should be reg- ulated by the rules governing such matters. After all, American wild life is certainly fated to disappear in time, and it will not better mat- ters to hasten the day by reckless- ly destroying the little that re- mains. 0 A Newark man was arrested re- cently for operating an automo- bile while under the influence of snuff.

Gorman .St. John Hankin's comedy is in the great English tradition which makes of comedy a weapon of the intellect for theannouncement of an idea or for an attack on senti- ment. Lest this seem too great an insult to the many good comedies in tihs tradition, it should be im- mediately explained that in the case of "The Cassilis Engagement," the intellect is somewhat thin, the idea not At all new or important, the presentation of it weak and only mildly amusing. A wise little lady of family, whose adolescent son has nursed a naive,.little pas- sion for a pretty cockney gold- digger to the point of getting him- self engaged to her, recognizes the futility of opposing such ideal love and puts into practice a plan of killing it by kindness.

"Streets are for automobiles," they said, "and sidewalks are for pedestrians; but why should the two be to- gether?" They found no good rea- son but many reasons for separat- ing the two as far as possible. So in Radburn they moved the sidewalks to the rear of the houses, to the far side from the motor car street. Maybe this will result in the perking up of both sides of the houses so that there will be no front and back. At any rate it is ing with technical absorption and the eager attention and applause which the audience gave her two short appearances was ample rec- ognition of its merit. Mildred Todd was quite too conscious of her vul- garity to be convincingly vulgar; she could not conceal from the audience all of the strain of her effort to mold herself to the part. Miss King did not dominate the scene as she should have; in her hands the part was a bit too stiff and uninteresting and became con- sequeritly a minor part.
