L. irn rdy ersity, and who has been reading certain nvspapers the past few 'daysf would imagine that the student body I as well as the alumni were greatly agitated about the kind of opera the LUion is producing.' "Union Opera Stirs Campus", says one headline, while another reads "Students and Pacul*~y Split Over Leg Show".A few scattered alumni make' a few comments to the effect that they would like to see more "virility" in the show, and profess to be shocked by some, of the advertising matter sent out. 7'the feeble efforts of some news- papers to try to work up a con trover- sy is ludicrous and fairly simple mind- ed, The Senate Committee on Stu- dent Affairs frowned on the sub-title, but'did not mention a wod about the character ' of the show. TWhat i, ab- solutely the only action thathas been taken officially. The vast numbers of students and alumni fail to get at all excited about the untter. They continue buying tickets to the show, and indications are that the opera this year will play to record breaking ,attendances. The lower floor and box seats of the 'Metropolitan opera house in New York have been sold out three weeks before the show -is scheduled to play there. The Unioni opera s as'clean a show as is produced anywhere and it is a credit 'to the. University. One of its greatest comedy appeals: lA its men tatking "gils" prts.

But the v6ast majoirity of broad minded nor- mal. people keep on commending the show and filling Its thousands of seats. The plot cannot always be local, for [no good local plots have been written in several years. Furthermore, In or- der to carry an appeal to thousands of ticket buyers in the ,larger cities where the show plays, =material of general interest must be used. Alum- ni .get quite a trill out of the mention of "Joe's" or "The Orient" and the local atmosphere, but the names mean' little to others, Consequently a hap- py medium mst e struck.

'Princeton men are justified in a feeling of the sort, bt it may be' doubted if the theciry will' 'win convrerts at New Haven this year. Next year is another ,matter. Yet Abere s a good-dal in Dr. .,Pa ton's theory. For large numbers of' students -and alumni 'in most of the colleges in the tnted States - last °Saturday 'was;' temporarly, tne ''endj of the wrld, ad nothing worth balk " I ing- 4bout' will happen; before next 111 September. A good. par ; of the n- tervening period will be spent in thinking about the next football -sea- son, except in those parts of the coun- itry where basketball in it turn is an epidemic frm of insanity. Dr. Paton likes football, but 'he thinks that on the present scale it has become a great industry beyond the powers of i the undergraduates who should na- turally handle It, and that it must iu- f evitably fall into the hands of older' men who use the undergraduate more or less as tools~ of the trade. That 'Is an objecton~of some force, but Dr. Paton seems to ,subordnate it to the 'Imore serious complaint that football .permanently warps the judgment oft the average college man, I' For four impressionable years, the student is taught~ that glory or shme, eternal.disgrace. or dazzling triumph, depends9 on what 'happens on :the suc- cessive Saturydays of Autumn, and par-; ticuliarly1o'n the last Saturday before' Thanksgiving. nless .le is lucky, he [inds ift "impossible to readjust his thpught ,processes" after he has left l college, and remains permanently "at the football level". This needs no ar-. gument In view of the notorious fact that alumni are more responsible for . excesses of the athletic spirit thanE are undergraduates. What are we going'to do about it?
