FAUX PAS, MUMBER 2.'
Nearly everyone on the campus
agrees that the University band is an
institution which is deserving of sur-
port of a definite character. Students
and most of the faculty feel that this
organization contributes a distinct ser-
vice to the University. and as such
should be rewarded. Various plans
have been suggested, the most prac-
tical of which is a scheme by which
a small fee would be added to the
tuition for the support of its activities.
This can only come through the action
of the Board of Regents, and will re-
quire the combined effort of the stu-
dent body, the faculty, and the admin-
istration.
In view of this situation the recent
performances of the band become a
matter for criticism. The organization
can hardly hope to ,gain the whole-
hearted support of the various fac-
tions involved unless it more credit-
ably represents the University. As a
musical organization it is a success-
quite a remarkable success in view
of the fact that its personnel is con-
stantly changing. For this a proper
promotion of praise is due its mem-

bers and director.
In matters of band etiquette and in
general manauvers, however, the Var-
sity fails miserably. This was dis-
played at Illinois. The Illini band
produced inferior music, but its ap-
pearance so far surpassed that of
Michigan's that the effect was almost
ludicrous. Of course, their organiza-
tion is a part of the R. O. T. C. and as

ituation which caused so much dis-
ruption and hard feeling at Michigan{
several years ago when the plans for
campus' expansion revealed the pro-
posed demolition of Universi'y hall.
Michigan alumni and students were,
aroused even as Yale is now perturbed
that the most beautiful and traditional
portion of the campus should be
spoiled for the future. At Michigan,
the desecration, if one can call it
such, has taken place, The new Lit-
erary building has loomed its stony
majesty in front of the ugly but pic-
turesque "U hall," and the once beau-
tiful front elevation of the campus'
is now being relandscaped quite suc-
cessfully. No one can doubt that the
new structure is more beautiful ever.
in its present unfinished stage than
are University hall, Mason hall, and
the South wing which it is to re-
place. Its practicability in the matter
of ventilation and light has also been
proved. The fact remains, however,
that something of atmosphere, some,
thing of traditionary signifeance has
.been lost with Michigan's modern re-
liovation. When University hall passes,

unauthorized statemehts detract, they
should realize, from the force and
strength of an article.
"Above all.we shall strike at inanity,
insincerity, and secular dogmatism,"
we are told by our budding critics.
Then they proceed to strike, in one or
two instances. But strangely, they
have not had the courage to accuse
any of their doubtless cowering vic-
tims of insincerity, or (synonomous)
hypocrisy. Neither do they quite dare
to suggest inanity. Perhaps they
found the dictionary definition to be
"void of sense or intelligence, empty
of mind, silly." At any rate they have
shown that they are not themselves
quite sufficiently inane to make such
accusations against the Cloth of Ann
Arbor. And then, there is the matter,
of dogmas. I suppose that here they'
would not have hesitated to harangue
at great length, but still they bring
no definite charge. Obviously, they
found no dogmatism.,


the last vestige of structual tradition
will have passed-no buildings in the
original group will remain.
In this, of course, the high price ofI
real estate has been involved. At least
at Michigan that was the principal
consideration. Material expansion was
necessary to intellectual progress;
University hall a structure ill-adapt-
ed to modern education and in addi-
tign a distinct fire hazard; and the
land upon which it is standing end the
immediate front elevation was needed
if money was to be spent for build-
ing and not for land. At Yale the sit-
iuaton is probably different, but the,
basis is the same.
The tendency for expansion is re-
flected in practically all American col-
leges and universities. It has been
made necessary by the increasing de-
mands of mass education. Each insti-
tution has to choose between the
shackles of tradition and modernity,
between old, picturesque, and usele's
structures and brazenl new and use-'
ful buildings. Yale is fortunate in
having sufficient funds to carry out
an architectural ideal, and harmonic
plan. Michigan is only able to do this
in the 'are cases when state funds are
not used. Except for the new literary
building, economy, not beauty, has
been the slogan, in state appropriation
The result is the present hodge-1
podge of classic, Gothic, and factory
architecture.
Almuni of both institutions natur-1
ally resent changes in the campus
they loved. Perhaps we are wrong,
perhaps Ainericap universities should,
cling to the trad~tion of European in-
stitution of higher learning. There is
an encouraging aspect of the situation.,

a straightforward, dignified manner,
they, would doubtless contain some
what worth while. But attempted
cleverness, degenerated into disre-
spect, is' little more than amusing,
save in those instances where it dis-
gusts.
The discussion of Mr. Sayles and
his sermon, by A. B., is cleverly writ-
ten. His views upon Dr. Anderson's
work also offer something of interest.
Sandwiched in between, however, the.
discussion nominally in praise of Mr:
Jump, is of the type that disgusts. It
is the sort of thing that gives indis-
putable evidence of the immaturity of
the writer. Mr. Jump himself, recent-
ly, gave us a definition of sophomores
"wise fools." Obviously A. B. was no
long since a sophomore.
N. S. in his writing has not the
cleverness that his associate promises.
His are simply discussions. neither
clever, nor particularly readable. ;He,
too, seems to think cleverness and dis-
respect are synonomous, speaking as
lhe does of "this man Lewis."
Such are the objections which are
offered to the Church Review, of the
last Chimes. They constitute my rea-
sons for the suggestion" that the re-
view be either discontinued or that its
nature be changed.
A thought is submitted in conclusion
that will doubtless be new to the.
writers of the review-: Respect in
criticism is conducive to effectiveness
as well as authorial self-respect.
Neither of these things have been
achieved, I am sure, by the A. B.,
N. S. combination.

THIS IS THE GAME
To the Editor:

The plays occasionally conic to Ann
Arbor. Why will not Ann Arbor go to
the plays. "Meet the Wife," which
was shown last night at th'e Whitney,
was worthy of the attention of the
best and the least of us. The lines
were unusual, just enough to be
pleasing, though they failed to effec-
tively surprise, on the whole. Hilar-
ious laughs were not called for, but
smiles wereforever in order. It is not
necessary to be haughty and proud,
boresome and brainy, to enjoy "Meet
the Wife;" nor is it necessary to be
imbecilic and hysterical to enjoy the
repartee.
In every tight situation, upon every
occasion where energy, enthusiasm,
and saving smiles were needed, ANP-
gusta Boylston appeared with her
silly giggle to be funny. By the bye,
Boylston is surely a stage name. Was
ever one of God's creatures endowed
with such by nature? Her acting was
perfect technically, and interspersed
with no little degree of talent.
Helen West, as Doris Bellamy, the
boarding school girl, was completely
original, in that the characteristics of
the customary flapper were not as-
cribed to her. It is something to re-
vise our opinions,-if they are not al-
ready revised-of boarding schools, of
flappers, ,nd of American play-
wrights..
Now and then just a shade of su-
gestion of the not nice crept in. only
enough that the kind hearted old1, -
dies need not notice if they so0 (0-
sired; enough that young girls with
gentleman escorts need not blus;
enough that the young geki~temcn
themselves could hide their laughs
in their sleeves. But they didn't.
Two acts would have quite sufficed.
it seems. The plot did not require the
length granted unto it to resolve it-
self into a satisfactory ending. The
wit, though witty, and the acting,
though done well, dragged a bit after
ect two. Too little of the dramatic,
entirely devoid of the startling, there
was nothing except a plot verging on
thinness to keep the audience awake
after the curtain fell a second time.
A1' E1YHAIGH
A review, by Robert Henderson.
A legend has begun to grov about
Mr. Haigh; synonomous, with his
name the criticism is invariably ad-
vanced that he is t'echnically ,perfect.
Like that: he is technically perfect;
and there is a shrug of the shoulders,
dismissing him. The whole attitude is
always that such a virtue is a major
fault, and all this, of course, is ridic-
ulous.
Andrew Haigh does play with an as-
tonishing mechanical accuracy, but it
quaint rococco design: Vienna cen-
turies ago all gathered in a ball-room,
in a few measured bars, with brilliant
crystal chandelliers dripping wax
everywhere in little strings. It was de-
lightful.
His most satisfying effects, how-
ever, were obtained in his second en-
core at the close of the program, the
Dohnanyi Capriccio in F minor. Here,
rythmically and melodically, he fairly
carried his audience away. Ther was
a verve and enthusiasm about his
whole attitude that for the first time
that afternoon genuinely thrilled his
house,
And this is in itself almost a
phenomenon. If a screen were to be
placed around him, his listeners
would be all but enchanted; before
them, he appears wooden, cold and
uninteresting. There is an atmospher,
of stiff aloofness about him a pose
that as much as dares his audienc,
to like his playing. When he ends his
pieces, there is no toss of the head,
no gesture that commands applause:
the audience is timid over it, and Ir-
ritated.
Frankly, it amounts to this: Mr.

Haigh lacks temperament, all sem-
blance of that quality which over-
blances a man's career to fame or ob-
scurity. If Mr. Haigh is wise, he will
cultivate all those little, foolish, ob-
vious tricks that make or break an
artist: he will learn how to bow, how
to is surely to his credit. More than
this, he adds to his work a very real
interpretive sense. In his program,
Sunday afternoon in Hill auditorium,
this was especially marked in the
Debussy Reflets dans 1 'Eau, the con-
trasting softly lyric Sonetto del
Patrarca and the grandoise 15th Hun-I
garian Rhapsodie of Liszt, and the
Schumann Papillons.
In the Papillons, especially, he
brought to the piece a certain episodic
stacatto brittleness. Even in the fortes
passages one sensed little figures hop-
ping, bobbing, flirting up and down.
The entire interpretation was preg-
nant with a smile, how to comb his


When there comes to me an image
Of a lively football scrimmage,
Though it takes me far beyond my
native gate,
There's a keen magnetic pressure
Brought to bear upon my vesture
That accelerates my passage down
South State.
Yet in all my calculation
There's no law in operation
That assists me toward the campus
for a class.
And I've found that gravitation
Can't direct preambulation
If the portals of U. Hall I ought to
pass.
Oh, I know some force primeval
Is at work for man's upheaval
So necessity and wish can't correlate
I For .something has the function
Of preventing such a junction
If the roll-call starts a little afte
