EDITORIAL COMMENTr I 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. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1924 Night Editor-GEORGE W. DAVIS 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 ht that the Republican party con-k tas he presRnt time. the greatest nuui1er rf reill first rate men. There i u s jr i: s-tnce.

Thrift nnnoc from thn Tarv aiil o P Nin music AND 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. II I " ' -o' * ~naa. kaA.t.aaaaae -~.- Melodrama by Andre De Lorde, an "A Matter of Husbands'' by Fere Molnar.

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 hp wa hrdened with nnadre tive and occasionally very disturbing kind of applause. In short, they threat- en to quit unless some way is found of making the audience curb its en- thusiasm. Which do the students prefer, sweet harmony and rhythmic melodies ren- dered by the new augmented orches- tra, or the old type of movie music, than which, in all frankness, there is nothing more dull, drab, and tuneless?
