Wise failed to grant a closed period for the purpose of class assemblies; the other two ways of awakening in- terest have had their trial and have failed. There remains only an appeal to the students of the University at' large. It is their concern,. not the council's or The Daily's. If it is the desire of the student body to elimi- nate petty politics, let it turn out and exercise its privilege. OUR ANTIQUATED ORGAN While the organ in Hill auditorium, which was built for original use at the World's Columbian exposition at Chi- cago in 1893, still has the finest of tonal qualities, its antiquated mech- anism is in a condition which is a constant sourse of irritation to listen-; ers and players alike. It is just at such events as the convocation occasioned last week by the opening of the Uni- versity, at organ recitals, and' in im- pressive University services, that the organ chooses to display its antiquity. Even the frequent visits of repair men can be no guarantee that mechanical troubles will not recur on important occasions. The installation of a new mechan- ical system would create an organ as fine in every way as the original in- strument which was made 30 years ago. However, in recent years there have been -vast improvements and developments in the variety and ef- fectiveness of tone-coloring as applied to the organs of this kind. So that while, tonally, the materials of the pipes in the University organ are good, having been declared in a re- cent examination by a competent or- T ASYED law4wow 1 YOU WILL CR!OLLQ N r 1i MUSIC AND DRAMA I -III A it.

He advised the yearlings to forget them- selves and to strive better to serve the University while they are here. "You have probably seen the word 'Service' on a lot of letter-heads and advertisements," said the speaker, "but at Michigan you will find out what the word really means. In two or three years it will mean a great deal more to you than it possibly can now." Hayden emphasized the fact that the Frosh bibles published 'by the Stu- dents' Christian association were in- tended to help the yearlings form an early conception of the Michigan ideal of Service. There are only a few of these left, he pointed out, but these will be sold at Lane Hall for thirty cents (to cover cost of packing, mail- ing, etc.) until they are gone. * * * The Alumnus: Lots of pep was evident at the all'- Fresh assembly held September 29 in the Union-the first get-together the new men have had this year as a class. The meeting was part of the new pro- gram that is being put on by the Underclass Department of the Union, of which "Bill" Diener, '26, is chair- man. "Bill" plans to get all the fellows together early in the year in small THE ORGAN RECITAL The second program in the Organ Recital series given by Palmer Chris- tian, University organist, will be pre- sented this afternoon at 4:15 o'clock in Hill auditorium. The general pub- lic is cordially invited to attend these recitals. The following program of modern Russian and French composers will be offered: Sonata in D minor, no. 3.. Borowski. Melody in E ......Rachmaninoff. Matin Provencal .......... Bonnet. Salut d'amour .............. Elgar. Piece Heroique ..............Frank. THE PLAY PRODUCTION PLAYS Professor Hollister has selected as the second number of his Play Pro- duction course Joseph C. Lincoln's popular rape Cod story, "Shavings," dramatized by Marion Short and Philip Phelps. The play is of the light- est sort, and scored a pronounced suc- cess on Broadway several years ago with Harry Beresford in the title role. Edward Gibson will take the leading part, while other members of the cast will include Phyliss Turnbull, Val- entine Davies, Albert Wagner, and Robert Henderson. * * * IN DETROIT .o S 12 19 26 O C T 0 B E R, M T W 6 7 8 13 14 15 . 20 21 22 27 28 29 1924 T 2 9 1 16 23 30 F 3 10 17 24 3i 24i PO" on' Borrow-Subscribe Today. . .1..w..r ..... ;.; ...

Wb i hiw attitude is of course to- i;Y ontounded in fact it represents at'least a healthy interest in the elec- tions which is seldom apparent among students at Michigan. Every year a minority of each class in the literary college elects its officers. Usually there is a combination of fraternity men and women or independents to twing the election for certain candi- dates, but those who supervise the elections can in no way be held re- sponsible for this. A friend of every candidate is requested to be on hand during the count of the votes, the councilmen simply acting as com- puters. The fact that certain groups of men and women are able to swing the elections, however, constitutes a ser- ions menace to the success of the work of the men in charge. Adequate publicity is always given to the elec- tions, but it is seldom that more than a fifth of the class is on hand. It is no wonder that origanization is suc- cessful-it deserves to be. If certain figures among the students take enough interest in the elections to work for candidates they should at- tain success. The apathetic attitude of the majority of those concerned in tho elections foreordains the pros- perity of the campus political schemes. Various plans have been tried to stir up a heathly attention to this important matter. One year the coun- cil passed a regulation requiring thatI there be a majority of the class pres- ent at the meeting before the busi- ness could be transacted.
