"Red" Grange can be defeated, has been defeated, and will be defeated again! IIARDLY APPRECIATED For the forty-seventh time the University School of Music is pre-j senting two concerts series, but this time with a slight-but marked- change of policy. Heretofore emphasis seems to have been placed on the Choral Union series, in which the more important artists were scheduled, with orches- tral programs comprising the greater, number of concerts on the Extra! Concert series. As a result, the for-1 mer series seemed to carry the label of the two "best," while its sister series was somewhat neglected. Any such label this year would be too discriminating. John McCormack graces the Choral Union series but no less a personage than Madame Schumann-Heink, perhaps the most loved of the world's contraltos, will appear on the Extra Concert series. The rest of the recitals on both lists surely hold something for mu- sic-lovers. Their excellency can scarcely be questioned. When such an organization as the Detroit Symphony Orchestra can en- tertain and be appreciated by hun- dreds of thousands of Detroiters for the greater portion of a summer it is indeed time for the supposedly "educated" to take advantage of some of the truly unforgettable things of- fered here.

SI0OJ IT When the freshman throws his lit- tle gray pot into the fire on Cap Night, he ,I.said to cast -aside the playful pranks and irresponsibility that so often characterize first year men, and to assume that dignity which is supposed to- accmpany higher education. t freshmen do throw away their childish habits with their pots, but every year there are those who do not, and who return to Ann Arbor to exercise them under the cover of sophomore hood. This year has been no exception; here and there are second year men who think that they must go out of their way to prove to the world that they are no longer freshmen, that they have assumed the cares,. re- sponsibilities,-and privileges, of sophomorehood. Among the methods by which these people attempt to achieve this end are boisterous conduct in the campus theatres and the public hazing of freslfimen. The conduct of certain loudrnaouthed students in the the- atrefpr thppast iweek h been any- thing butflecent. These men seem to be under the impression that college mel are expe%d to cast aside every seinblance of gentlemanliness as soon as they arrive on the campus. In regard to the hazing which has been carried on on the campus, and public streets tring the past few days, there is mre that could be said, but less that sbluld be. Undoubtedly hazing is fast becoming a lost art, and perhaps there is reason to regret the passing of certain types of haz- ing, but no eyes will ever be dimmed xy the p Assage of the nasty, degrad- ing sort of hazing that some of our AT p arer students indulge in annually. Most of us are proud of our univer- ' sity, and feel that everything about it can stand the strain of public scrutiny, but such petty things as have occurred during this ,first week pan surely have no other effect than 5o cheapen the University. HEY'LJL SEE " PK T IS YEAR Classes have hardly started, but it t is not too early to say a word abUt hose non-scholastic classes that ave been conducted on the campus 'er the past two weeks, classes in hich the students work harder, ,uch harder, both mentally and ph- 4 sically, than does the average stu- dent. These classes are those which are held daily on Ferry field under the direction of Coach Yost and his assIlI istts INTELLECTUAL SNOBBERY IN A STATE UNIVERSITYI The eyes of the multitude have been directed toward the clash of state educational figures on the ques- tion of what students shall be grant- ed entrance to the University of Michigan. It appears, if one be permitted to judge from newspaper reports, that Dr. Little, our Presidenj, favors a rigid policy of selection,-that he seeks to eliminate the more backward and mediocre students and to induce thereby the more rapid advancement of the mental alert group. Dean MacKenzie of the City of De- troit College, and C. H. Sleeper, Dean of the Commerce School of the Uni- versity of Detroit, believes that such a course would work an injustice on the average students who, while not having scintillating intellects, could derive much from the University training and environment. Dean MacKenzie feels also that a true se- lection of the capable students from the dullards would be highly imprac- tical. Choosing prospective collegians In accordance to grades received in high school, the only available method, would defeat the purpose, in many instances of the whole movement in that the "plodders" and bookworms, not the highest type, would flock in, while seemingly backward high school students whose slugginess was due merely to belated development and who might eventually bloom into leaders would be excluded. Both of the above authorities would substitute for the "appraisal plan" changes in class organization and in- creased competence among the in- structors. But the observation that in my mind bobs up immediately is that even granted it would accelerate a minority's progress, granted that the plan is entirely laudable in that it might work for the greatest good in the long run-assumptions, of course, not proved-it is wholly incompatible with the spirit of democracy on which state education is based. The ethics of the proposed movement in a re- public such as we constitute would be of a dubious nature. We would set up an intellectual aristocracy which, though excellent for the Intel- lectual aristocrats, would be potently out of place in this country. The problem is not only one of in- justie to a few, it involves the whole idea of democracy. Could such an element of educational favoritism enter into a tax-supported school? State education must essentially be as democratic as possible. Its pur- pose is the dissemination of knowl- edge to the people at large. Even now the college or university is actually the most aristocratic in- stitution of its time in America. Can we, in the face of our diametrically opposed pretentions, logically and consistently increase that element OASTED ROLL PIANO PIANO PIANO Before we forget it, a friend of ours asked us to put a little ad in the pa- per for him about a piano. We got here after closing time and our con- science forces us to put it here, al- though we realize full well that this is no place for such matter. Let's have it understood right now, more- over that we will under no circum- stances do this again for anybody. There is another column in this paper which takes care of that. Anyway this fellow wants a piano, for some reason which he did not disclose. Maybe he has an enemy in the next flat, or maybe he just wants to an- noy it for his own amusement, never- theless he wants it. But please don't send in any of your old pianos by mail, we can't have them cluttering up the office; it's bad enough already. Just tell us about It and we'll send the boy around. w* + This West Side Henry and his "Daisy" song started our memory working. We just thought of lots of good old Songs. Remember the "Lime Juice song? "Lime Juice Wild About Harry" and the Humphrey classic-you know-"Humphrey Ever Blowing Bubbles" and Oh, there are lots more! Lady T. suggests the "Mice' song. Gee! that's easy "Mice weety Turned Me Down" and so on- * * * TREVELYAN used no less than two sheets of the finest copy paper to get the following off his chest: Hotsy Totsy Tweedle Dee Dum Sister thinks an Oboe Is worse than a bum. * * * DISCUSSION It may be a shock to the more habitual readers of this department to find here a thought which has even a suggestion of the serious, but we have our serious moments, too, and so after most humbly begging your collective pardons, we wish to pre- sent a bit for discussion. The details escape us, but we be- lieve that during the summer some time a vocalist appeared at a local theatre, who apparently? did not meet with the entire approval of the audi- ence; and being a group of students they made no secret of the fact that the singer aroused their mirth. We believe that the expression was very nearly unanimous. After -one or two solos the performer stopped and pro- ceeded to lecture the audience In the best grade school'style on their gen- eral discourtesy and lack of thought- fulness. Of course the audience con- tained itself thereafter and the per- formance continued. But a question of ethics was thereby brought up. It seems to us decidely poor taste on the part of an audience to cause such an outburst, but it is, in our opinion, an infinitely greater lapse on the part of the singer. After all the audience has paid for its amusement and has the moral right to enjoy itself in anyway it chooses. The artist had, it would seem, very little ground to stand on. He was being paid to entertain and if he could not do so, he should have been prepared to take the consequences. The audience owed him nothing ex- cept its attention which it gave him, and if he could not arouse anything but mirth he should have either quit the business or improved his voice. At any rate he had no right to as- sume that the listeners were at fault because they expressed the mirth which he aroused. We realize that this opinion will meet with much disproval, which we lope will be mailed to us. There is another side, of course, and we should like to hear from it. Again we apologize, and again we beg your pardon. * * * Some gentleman who hides behind the name UNANLIIOUS wrote us to say: "It required no particular ac- umen to see how manifest it was, when you referred to having blown all your friends to Convocation, that the motive power was a gust of that balloon juice which so permeates your literature." * * * Now that's what we call consumate nerve! * * * The Right Reverend Herbert A. Jump, Pastor of the local church on the Corner, is carrying things just about as far as possible again. At eight o'clock tonight, when all good boys-ad girls should be in bed, he will hold a "Knicker Kut Up." There's -no telling what these mod- ernists will do next- s "THE GOLD RUSH" It was hardly more than a year and a half ago that Charlie Chaplin-his name has now even reached the dig- nity of Mr. Charles-was discovered by the New York intellectuals through such men as Gilbert Seldes, Stark Young and Kenneth MacGowan, who in. turn focused the .fiashlight ofI their talent towards his genius. For the majority of them it was' but an- other respite in their inevitable at- mosphere of the weary yawn, and during a brief six months it became as much the fashion to regard this erstwhile pie-slinger in the light of an Artist as it now is to rhapsidize over the muscle dances of Clara Smith. As a matter of actual fact, Charlie Chaplin is a very great artist, wheth- er the several Ven Vechtens recognize it or no-Max Reinhardt, in fact, has l called him the most perfect panto- mimic genius in the world today, and even asked for, his services in his coming American production this winter. By every nuance of technique he stands as the incomparable master of burlesque, that art, out of the eight, most difficult of all to master. In his latest picture, "The GCld Rush," to be shown shortly at a local theatre, he does the subtlest work of his career. There are so many fine, delicious shadings to his scen's that one has to see the picture three, four or even five times to really appreciate all the nice points he hides beneath his surface situations. With "Thej Last Laugh," it is the only picture I ever wanted to applaud at the final fade-out. You have heard, of course, about many of the more famous scenes- the fight in the bar-room, the New Year's banquet, the cabin on the edge of the cliff, and above all the Oceana Roll! In this scene, with a pair of forks and biscuits, he reaches, I be- lieve; what mfst be the heights of pantomimic satire. And even the pure sentiment introduced for the sake of the conventional sob 'behind the, smile is sincere anl effective.] After all, the theatre is little more } than a bundle of emotions and cer- tainly "Auld Lang Syne"- is as legiti- mate a trick a Sara,,, Beruardt'. tear-strained contralto or Bernrd Shaw's slapstick sermons.

L;El 7 " H 1, E R Walter Damrosch Mengelberg, according to the le- gend, is very npch of a frenzied art- ist when he conducts, waving his arms furiously, tossing his head, swinging his torso and even ,for climaxes stamping his feet. Kousse- vitsky is more subtle in contrast, making a studied use of graceful rhythmic gestures 'with his hands, while Leopold Stokowski is even more reserved, content to be digni- fled and merely exploit his profile that makes him a matinee idol at his Philadelphia box-office, Walter Damrosch, however, who as conductor of the New York Symphony orchestra is to open the Choral Series this year, Thursday evening, October 15, has grown quite beyond pure phy- sical extravagances and gains the necessary sympathetic attitude of his audience through an informal ohd~iqe position on his stand. Occ&sIonaly 'he turns and chats with, his f'ron row, his wrath that is so terrible'thiring a rehearsal turning to a charming con- descension for the actual concert. Despite the thumbed and worn-dijt phrase, he is our grand old man in music, a studious, careful artist, a gentleman and a genius. * * * "LADY, BE p001)" There is opening Sunday night at the New Detroit theatre, Detroit, a JACKE.
