THE REGENTS FORGET RADIO
Again the Board of Regents has met
and still the University goes radio-
less. Michigan continues to lag be-I
hind the other large universities andc
colleges of the country who have in-1
stalled broadcasting stations as part
of their educational program.!
The radio once considered as a
plaything, as an agent of amusement
and pleasure has gone far beyond that1
stage. It is no longer in its embryonic
stage, but has proved practical and
vital in modern life. It has become
recognized as one of the best means
for disseminating the knowledge and
opinions of men of authority and
power.
Since its inception the radio has
taken its place in the home as the
most important means of offering edu-
cational opportunities, Lectures, con-
certs, and special feature programsj
are heard by the family during the
day and after working hours.
Few of these people have had the
opportunity of obtaining a college or
university education. It is a duty of
the University of Michigan to extend
to these people the privileges which
are to be found in Ann Arbor. TheI
University as a tax supported in-
stitution is obligated to the state and
nation.
Theninitial cost for the installation
of a broadcasting station which will
fill this need would not exceed $25,
000 according to estimates. At the
University of Iowa the dean of the
engineering college is the announcer
and arranges the programs. The up-
keep and operation of this station are
handled by the members of the elec-
trical engineering department of the
college. A system similar to this is
carried out by the other large schools
of the middle west, Ohio, Wisconsin,
Illinois, and Chicago.
The University of Minnesota which
has access to several broadcasting
stations in Minneapolis and St. Paul
installed its own station so that all
University functions might be broad-
cast throughout the country for the
benefit of the tax-payers of the state
and the people of the nation.
It is time that Michigan took her
place alongside the other universities
and installed a radio broadcasting
station to maintain her presitge and
reputation as a leader among educa-;
tional institutions. Instead of 5,000
people listening to a lecture by some
prominent and authoritative speaker
or a concert by some artist of repute,
countless thousands could be benefited
by the means of a broadcasting sta-
tion.
A RUSHING SEASON
-Cornell Daily Sun
Although tlbe general subject of
rushing undoubtedly has not been en-
tirely absent from the student mind
during the past week, today it looms
precariously near, ready to overwhelm
fraternity men and freshmen, alike,
in all its ferocity, on Wednesday. The
anxieties of date making, and the un-
certainties of pledging are to beset
the most placid of undergraduates.
The intensively demanded freshmen,
flattered by their sudden and . pos-
sibly unlooked for popularity, will
soon attain that air of savoir faire,
flavored slightly by baseless conceit,
which has long been a thorn in the
sides of solicitous fraternity men.
Sleep will be forgotten in -the rush of
seeking the more elusive prizes (even
though the rules forbid nocturnal
rushing between certain hours);
books will remain closed until such
time as quota's are completed, and
no more possibilities meet the sophis-
ticated eyes of the rushers; meals will
be taken, not with an idea of nourish-
ment, but solely as a means of judg-
ing the guests, whether they con-
sume delicious bits of fraternity house
fare with knife, or fork, or both.
We find, after these considerations
of the more material side of rushing,
a certain sacrifice on the part of un-
dergraduates, a certain loyalty to-
wards their fraternities. Were it not
for the fact of selfish desires motivat-
ing them, we could, with propriety,
say there is also some generosity
and hospitality involved in the attitude
of fraternities towards freshmen. But
nevertheless, if one overlooks the in-
trigues and cabals that are bound to
spring up under the best of rules be-
tween fraternities, and often between
freshmen, be will find nobleness in
these annual gyrations of old students
around new.
Perhaps one of the most injurious,
features of the present rushing sys-
tem is its effect on those socially for-
tunate freshmen, who, either by rea-
son of past experience, or because of
great self-confidence, are able to com-
mand more than usual attention. Often
they fail to recover from the sudden-
ness of having a vast blanket of pop-
ularity thrown around them during
their first few weeks of college. If the
realization would come that this easily
given blanket will not provide the
warmth during four years that it does
during two weeks freshmen would
emerge unscathed from the ordeal,
and the evils of rushing be reduced
to a minimum.

ONLY PASSABLE
It's a hard job to satisfy everybody
-presidential elections not excepted.
There fare those who aren't going to
vote for either Coolidge -and Dawes,
Davis and Bryan, or LaFollette and
Wheeler; not because they are too
lazy to go to the polls, but because
they can find, in a consideration of1
the policies of the three parties for
which these men stand, nothing for;
which they can enthusiastically sub-
s-ribe. Each of the tickets has its
good points; but each has it bad
points too.
First of all, Coolidge: There is no

j~DRAMA
THE ORGAN RECiTAL
A review, by Sidney Faites.
There never was a concert or re-
cital that started with everyone in
his seat. Yet, the fact that iuch a
thing actually never occured should
afford no excuse for the many who
come trailing into the organ offerings
of Mr. Christian always late. Yester-
day during the playing of the Borow-
ski Sonata, the organist was held up
a sufficient length of time between
each movement to make it seem as if
he were playing four short and sep-
arate numbers instead of four move-
mcnts to the same composition.
Although the second concert of the
organ recital series contained several
bits that were of a high order, yet
for the most part the program was
rather uninteresting and listless. Not
much can be said for the Borowski
number outside of the two middle
movements, the Intermezzo and the
Andante. The first and last portions
were made up for the most part of
"picture" music that was in no man-
ner convincing. Scale passages fol-
lowed by broad sweeping chords, are,
to say the least, exciting, but as to
real musical value there usually is
none. And so is it with this Borowski
composition. The Andante with its
surprising climax is another matter.
Here one feels that there is finer ex-
pression, a deeper, sincerity, and a
greater amount of musical mastery
present.
The "Piece Heroique" which ended
I the recital, shared honors with Bon-
net's "Matin Provencal,'." one of three
pieces from a set called "Poemes
d'Automne," as being the most in--
teresting numberst Cesar Franck in
his characteristic style has filled the
work with vigor and power, and
throughout the whole of it holds the
attention of the listener. The first half
which is toned in minor suggests the
doubt and meditation of the figure
who in the second half announces his
victory to the world in militaristic
fashion toned in major. The suspence
that is so important a part from the
very opening is of a nature that plays
upon the imagination of the audience.
Bonnet's number is the nearest thing
to the modern school that was offered.
Melody in E by Rachmaninoff, and
Elgar's "Salut damour" completed the
program. Like 'most transcriptions
they were not satisfactory, and al-
though Mr. Christian might have aided
in making them more attractive by
more careful playing, yet even so it
is doubtful if they would have reached
to complete satisfaction; transcrip-
tions are such fickle things, they go
well for some instruments and not
so well for others, the organ being
one of the latter class.
]VI. MAIER AGAIN
In connection with his regular
classes, Mr. Maier has instituted every
Tuesday evening what he calls an
Interpretation class for his students.
I It meets at seven-thirty for a hour-
or two hours when he has to double
up on account of his engagements-
and, like everything else such a man
would do, is intensively interesting.
These lecture-recitals, however, are
not limited to Mr. Maier's students
alone, but onen to the general public
upon payment of the necessary office-
fee. The 'oint is that this class is
so unusually, excitingly worth-while
that anyone definitely interested in
music, especially the piano, cannot
afford to let them pass merely
through some misapprehension.
Sometinme the classes will consist
of an informal talk by Mr. Maier, as
on last Tuesday evening, piled with
everything from a minute technical
analysis of some composition to the
several tricks of the trade or a group
of ridiculous anecdotes. At other times
Mrs. Maier will play with him, and
late in November there will be a two
piano recital with Lee Pattison- "mu-
sic so wild that it will make you lose
your way home!" is his promisa.
The next class will meet Wednes-
day evening, October 8-Wednesday,
because of the Whiteman concert
Tuesday-at which both Mr. Reber
Johnson of the New York Symphony,
Mrs. Maier, and himself will play the
Kreutzer Sonata, three Brahm's Inter-
mezzos, and a or the Brahm's Capric-
cio.
In speaking of Paul Whiteman, by
the way, Mr. Maier is more than en-
thusiastic. Ie considers him one of the
great living musical genuises-his
very words-a great conductor, and
quite extraordinary from all angles.
Someone asked him if he would be
willing to have his statements quoted,
and he quickly retorted that any ex-
ageration could be used as coming
from him. He is very evidently one of
the major Whiteman maniacs.

tain kind of tenacity which an able
executive must show. He must have
initiative. This, President Coolidge
has not. It has been shown repeatedly
that his rise in public office has been
the result of a fortuitous series of
happenings. First, the Boston police
strike, in which he made an unbeliev-
able reputation by doing nothing; sec-
ond, the death of President Harding
which thrust him, dazed and not a
little frightened, into the chair of the
chief executive.
His record while in office has not
been particularly encouraging. His
speech at the opening of Congress
last December was received favorably,
throughout the country as his plat-
form. But a comparison, of his aims,
as outlined in this speech, with a list-
ing of the achievements of Congress
at the end of the session last June,j
shows that he failed to put through
a single one of the measures which
he advocated. His defenders say that
