advanced by the Senate. University
officials would be more lenient with a
plan presented by the Interfraternity
council than they would be in devis-
ing their own system.
Sooner or later deferred rushing
will be forced upon the fraternities,1
and no action should be taken by the
Interfraternity council which will
make it impossible for a change to be
made by that organization. Action
should be deferred until plans have1
been presented andduntil these have
been thoroughly discussed. Trial
should be made of some new system
of rushing which will meet the ap-
proval of the University officials and
of the fraternities. At any rate, action
should not be taken afer a mere
week's consideration!
THE CRIMSON SPEAKS
The Harvard Crimson, official news-
paper of Harvard university, has re-
cently brought forth in its editorial
columns a plan "to restore harmony
and balance between sport and
academic work." The Crimson be-,
lieves that the time has come when
constructive steps should be taken to
correct what it believes to be the
maladjustment and disproportion be-
tween football and scholarship. Lack
of space prevents the printing of the
Crimson plan in full, but some of the
major points are as follows:
1. The season will begin when col-
lege opens in the fall and end as it
does at present. Pre-season and
spring football practise will be abol-
ished.
2. All students who wish to play
the game will be assigned to class
teams and receive the best coaching
available.
3. For the first month of college,.
inter-class games, will constitute the
schedule.
4. At the end of that period a var-
sity squad will be formed from the
players who have shown the greatest
ability in the interclass contests.
5. The varsity squad will then play
a series of not more than three inter-
collegiate games, say, with Yale and
two other universities, provided these
institutions will adopt a similar plan.
6. Meanwhile the class teams will
have been reorganized and will con-
tinue their games until the close of
the season. Class team players will
still have the opportunities of pro-
motion to the varsity squad if they
demonstrate sufficient merit.-
Says The Crimson; "It goes without
saying that football conducted in this
manner will not carry the financial
burden of athletics as it now does.
The endowment for athletics will,
therefore be ne'essary. This last
point is vital and inevitable, if foot-
ball is to escape from the evils of
over-emphasis which are now mani-
fest. So long as colleges depend on
gate receipts from football games to
support their entire thetic program,
this fact alone will remain a suffi-
cient excuse for continuing the pres-
ent unsatisfactory system."
The plan as put forth by the Crim-
son has been received by the metro-
olitan press with some skepticism and
suspicion. Nevertheless it is essen-
tially one of the few worthwhile plans
suggested by those who would restore
the game to its proper place in college
life, and therefore, worth honest and
unbiased consideration.

It seems as if you just can't keep
away from musical comedies here this
week. There's one at the Whitney
called "Tambourine" and if you go to
the Maj you see a movie of another
one called "The Follies." Then therej
are the "Follies" which are or werel
in Detroit, and so it goes.

EDITORIALS
Today we feel very serious and
very national. We are on the verge
of discussing some of the problems
which confront the American people
as a whole. We feel that it is ,time
that we rise above such petty things
as local heroes and heroines. So this
morning we shall discuss the question
of tax reduction.
Tax reduction is a very serious
question. The question is beside being
very serious, very complex. For in-
stance, there is not only the question
of whether or not they should reduce
the taxis or not, but who they shall
reduce them on, or off, which ever
way you look at it. Now obviously this
cannot be solved in so many words.
It requires oodles and oodles of
thought. Therefore it will probably
not be settled by the present admin-
istration. So you can't expect us to
settle it either.
The question is whether the
rich or poor should pay the taxis
or whether it should be (both or
neither. In this last case, we
have not been able to determine
just who would pay them .Per-
haps they even wouldn't be paid.
Of course if there weren't any
taxis there would be no point in
having Government officials, be-
cause what would they do or get
when they didn't have taxis.
The more we think about it the
more we realize how complex the
situation becomes, and the more fu-
tile we feel in attempting to discuss
it. Therefore we are not going to
discuss it any further today. The
moral of this editorial is that un-
questionably something should be
done about the tax situation.

"TAMBOURINE"
A review, by Frederic X. Ziv.
The clouds rolled by, and the artifi-
cial moon shone proudly upon "Tam-
bourine," "the biggest and best" of
all Michigan Operas. Not only the
biggest in the number of songs and
cast; but the best in histrionic effects
as a whole. The captain and his
Sonya almost dominate the show,
what with his singing and her danc-
ing. But they do not wholly dominate,
as Mr. Shuter is ever a producer to
lavish talent. Barre Hill carries
superbly the numbers given him;
and Stanley Lewy is not to be denied
stellar dancing honors. But it is on
the choruses that "Tambourine" re-
lies; their dancing and frippery are

"Thanks to"elimination of waste
and other contributing factors,
we can, as a Nation, show one of
the most astonishing transforma-
tions in economic history. While
wages are higher than in 1920,
wholesale prices are lower. We
have thus the highest real wage
in our history. The wage rate
rose in 1924 to 128 per cent above
pre-war level, while the wholesale
price level has dropped from 126
per cent to 50 per cent above pre-
wa'r. Prohibition, together with
the movement for eliminating
waste in industry, are chief fac-
tors for the era of prosperity."-
Secretary Hoover.
WHY RUSH IT THROUGHIT
On Monday the Interfraternity
council will vote as to whether it is
satisfied with the present system of
rushing, or whether it would rather
adopt some new plan. No plan of de-
ferred rushing has been presented to
the council; the vote will be merely
an expression of sentiment regarding
the present system.
It is safe to state that the majority
of the fraternities on the campus feel
that the present system has manyj
faults, but they cannot be expected to
vote for a change unless some new
plan is presented to them which they
feel is more practical.
Sufficient time has not been given
the fraternities to consider the prob-
lem. They are being called on to ex-
press an opinion on a matter which
they have not given sufficient con-
sideration. They must vote with no
definite plans for improved rushing in
view.
Action on deferred rushing should
be withheld until a time when a com-
mittee of the council presents a plan
which might be given a trial at thisr
University. The committee which
was supposed to present such plans,
merely gave a report favoring con-
tinuation of the present system.
In 1918, the University Senate
adopted a report which called for a
revision of the rushing system by the
following year. The report instructed
the fraternities to consider systems
which would make it impossible for a
student to join a fraternity until his

WHAT MANNER OF MAN IS THIS?
To the Editor:
Implications, the subtile meanings
supporting any process of develop-
ment, are the motivating forces by
which ideals are sought. Miss Kuhl-
man, in her contention in the
"Chimes" of Dec. 6th, does not seem
to consider that the child cannot rule
the parent until it can stand alone.
What is a half century of feminine
deviation from masculine dominance,
when contrasted to the incalculable
time of subjection? This general pre-
valence of the "Prussianistic" attitude
toward women, by men, from the
mists of antiquity cannot be over-
thrown in the short period that co-
education has been in vogue. The
caducity of male supremacy will come
about, if at all, by a slow process of
inculcating the necessity of such a
cessation into the none too eager
heads of those who could make it
possible.
Patently, there are women in rela-
tively rare incidents who are more
capable in certain capacities than the
majority of men, but there are more
men able to approach nearer the
apotheosis of these accomplishments
than their gentle competitors. This
condition may be overcome by broader

Now that we have worked that lit-
tle trick out of our system, we feel
much surer of ourselves. We have
been on the verge of it fo'r a long time
and knowing that it would be a very
scurvy stunt, we always persuaded
ourselves not to stoop that low.
But things became so bad that we
felt that the only way to rid our-
selves of that complex was to get in
and have it over with. We apologize.

The King in "Tambourine"
marvelously executed midst settingsj
designed to perfection-reminiscencesf
-of Louis XIV--
Throughout the. performance, the
musical numbers are poured forth un-
sparingly-opening choruses, inciden-
tal dances, patter pieces, love ballads,
and tuxedoed hey-hey jazz, all lead-
ing up to a flourishing finale. Prolific
song writers are noticeable for their
lack of big hits-witness Mr. Rom-
berg-but "Tambourine" '"has "Ro-
many Rose," "The Cameo," and onef
or two love themes that willsbe re-
membered and probably used in
Operas to come,--not an unusual oc-
currence,
The plot, it is true, is neligible-
just enough to fill in from one song
number to another dance--but this it
does admirably. Michigan Operas
never depended on plot, and "Tam-I
bourine" marks no new departure,
but there is no need that it should-
as "Tambourine" has before it what
should be a most successful run-and
what should bring "ahs!" and "ohs!"
from eastern audiences in admiration j
of the exquisite sets; and choruses
unsurpassed in previous Operas.

LOUIS ORAVEURE
A review, by Vincent Wall.
Two distinctive features marked
the Louis Graveure concert as per-
haps the most esoteric of the Choral
Union series-esoteric, that is, to a
certain group who enjoy any andj
every musical banality. Those two
features that were most prominent
were the artist's perfect enunciation
and extraordinary breath control. His
program however was composed of
numbers, some of which were almostj
banal. Among. such favorites were'
"Songs My Mother Taught Me," "Three
Fishers Went Sailing," and finally
Massenet's "Elegie", which' has been
overdone and underdone enough times
to give a distinctly common flavor.
These numbers were given exception- I
ally well and showed an intelligent,
if somewhat conventional interpreta-
tion. His only offerings to an'inte-j
lectual audience were "Vision fugitive"
and "La Cloehe", both of which were
beautifully given, although the en-
thusiastic exuberance of his accom-
panist somewhat detracted from both.
His choice of encores differed little
from the rest of the program, although
in the "Toreador Song" he displayed
a penchant for vocal gymnastics that
was most amazing. He almost doubled
the tempo. Tempus fugit and so does
the Toreador in his hands. "Winter
Storms" of B3ryceson Treharne was
given in a bombastic manner worthy
of Choliapin. Finally "The Trump-,
eter", his concluding number was nice-
ly done, although the forceful accom-
paniment again was almost too no-
ticeable.
A rather peculiar situation was at
times evident: occasionally he pro-
duced two distinct tone qualities, one
delightfully rich and resonant-the1
other a distinctly nasal bellow. But
