Like certain political issues in national affairs, this is a campus weed which springs up, is cut, and grows again. The last cut was two years ago, when many logical and il- logical arguments were advianced on both sides. The women claimed that because the Council was called a Stu- dent council, and supposed to repre- sent them as a part of such a body, they should not be denied the right of expressing their opinion by the use of the ballot. The opposition met this argument with three major points: (1) The functions of the Student council in no way affect the women of the University. (2) The women would not know the qualifications of the men running for office. (3) The women might be influenced by the un- important but personal qualificiations of the men. (1) That the Council does not or could not effect the. women is not true. According to its constitution, the objects for which it is founded are: (a) To interpret and maintain Michigan's traditions and customs. (b) To exercise general supervision over student activities, organizations, traditions, customs, conduct. (c) To do the aforesaid all for the good of Michigan. Surely Michigan women have shown interest in maintaining land support- ing Michigan traditions. The Council schedules pep-meetings on all occa- sions, and such meetings often conflict with all-campus functions of the women scheduled previously. If the Council is to have general supervision over such affairs of which women are a part, it is also for the "good of Michigan" to give the women a vote. It is true that the women are not interested in the disciplinary func- tions of the Council, for the judiciary council of the League has charge of such, but this is only a part of the Council's work. (2) Would the women voters know the qualifications of the men? It is probably true that all women voting Would not know the qualifications of the men, and it is equally true that all ,nen. voting would not know them. TYocal and national elections show that women do as intelligent voting as men: In any election about one-third of the eligible voters participate. This is especially true on the Michigan campus. The men who vote are in- terested either because they are back- ing their "machine," or because they are primarily interested in the campus rand its politics. All of this cannot be said of the women for there are a few well-oiled political ma- chines. The women interested in vot- ing are those intimately connected with campus problems and organiza- tions. These are the women who could judge by a man's record (which they would know), whether he is qualified. The non-interested woman would not vote anyway, and those vot- ing would be capable of judging a man by his past record and vote for him accordingly. Is there anything to fear when intelligent and interested voters indicate their decisions? The only thing possible is that it would destroy the machine which did not put up the best candidates. (3) The last argument implies that a councilman would secure a woman's vote because she' knew him to be a good dancer, dater, well-dressed, and collegiate. In the first place, this kind of a woman (like her opposite inl men) is not interested in voting for anything. She probably cares little, if at all, whether women can or can- not vote for councilmen. Politics of THIS AFTERNOON: The Organ Recital in Hill auditorium at 4:15 0'clock. TONIGHT: Comedy Club presents Bernard Shaw's "Great Catherine" in the Mimes theatre at 8:30 o'clock. * * * "GREAT CATHERINE" A review, by Robert Mansfield. First of all, it was cold in the thea- tre. And then someone left the stage door open and a chilly blast swept the audience-but not so the play. Nor need I discuss the play itself, for Shaw is Shaw-an' tha' Shawl there ish to it, as Patiomkin might say. The acting of the two leading char- acters-Amy Loomis and Robert Hen- derson-lacked nothing of the profes- sional., Their stage presence was superb, and the interpretation mostj polished. Miss Loomis made a per- fect Catherine as she paced the stage# in bare feet or coyly accepted some wholly unsubtle compliment. The murmured German phrases or vehe- ment expletives rolled or crackled from her tongue with truly natural flavor. Patiomkin was drunk. Also he was a diplomat, and a player on a stage within a stage. Be it said that he was so convincingly drunk that Y 3 c .I i t c t r f I7 I, i 4 7 i] j s I 1 I Ri I 1 , l' t i MUSIC AND DRAMA PADEREWSKI A review, bytRobert Hamilton. It is not often that musicians whol have appeared in public for forty years play with the vitality and the consuming enthusilasm exhibited by Ignace Jan Paderewski who returned to Detroit in triumph Monday night, offering an all-Chopin program. Everything combined to make it a typical "Paderewski evening": a vast throng which filled every inch of space in the dimly lighted and insuf- ferably hot hall, Mr. Paderewski's late arrival and biate departure, his prodi- gality in the matter of encores, a tre- mendous ovation, and some incom- parably beautiful playing. It would be idle to deny that Mr. Paderewski's- performance revealed many faults. The F minor Fantasie with which he elected to introduce, himself, was full of technical blund- ers, unmusical hammering at the in- strument and, in general, conveyed an impression of perturbation and weari- ness. The four preludes which fol- lowed were only slightly better, dis- figured by many false notes and occa- sionally blurred, foggy effects. Only in the. sublime B flat minor sonata did Mr. Paderewski first strike the mood of lofty inspiration and pianis-1 tic brilliance with which the concert i ended, and not until then did he make it wholly clear why he is still ranked, foremost among living masters of the pianoforte. He rose nobly to the demands ofI this powerful work, his utterance mianifestly the expression of an ex- alted mood. Technically the perform- ance was of a high order, while his tone was of haunting loveliness. But the climax of the recital came during the last half hour with interpretations of the C sharp minor scherzo, the F sharp minor mazurka and three waltzes. On these, he lavished all his fabulous riches in poetic feeling, tonal enchantment and heroic power so that the memory of them still evokes a thrill. At its worst, Mr. Paderewski's playing is never dull, cheap or unintelligent; at its best, it attains an amplitude and an Olympian splendor unmatched since the prime of Anton Rubinstein.

WARMER WAITING, SStanding in line in the snow, when the thermometer is hovering near zero, is none too pleasant, and when unnecessary, is extremely disagree- able. Under the present ruling of the Athletic association, which closes the YeAt field house to the public until 7! o'clock on the nights of MichiganI basketball games, thousands of Michi- gan students who desire to see their team in, action, and who are willing; to wait in order to obtain good seats, are forced to stand in what is opti- mistically called a line, formed out- side the doors of the field house. What the objections are to opening the doors at an earlier hour and per- nitting students to wait for the open- ing whistle while setated within the heated interior, is not known to The Daily. The policy of the association, "first come, first served," at basket- ball games, would be improved by an earlier opening hour, as many of those who have ibeld- their- places in line the longest are shoved aside Awhen the doors are open or passed in the mad rush for seats that results. :Michigan students are willing to -ait to see, the Wolverine five play its home games, 'but they dislike wiaiting in ill-formed lines down the sidewalk of State street in zero weather. The Yost field house should be opened to the public at, 6:30 o'clock or even earlier on nights when the basketball team plays at home.

His comedy was uproariously funny even while his acting struck home most forcibly in its excellence. No one could imagine a more splendid boor. Belinda Treherne is dead-long live Patiom- kin. While it must be said that the wholly professional work of Miss Loomis and Mr. Henderson was not paralleled by the rest of the cast, that statement is in no way derogatory to their work. Comedy club is to be con- gratulated on the manner in which its members presented their parts. Phil-! lis Loughton, filling the part of Clairej in place of Mary Lou Miller, made a 1 charming flouted fiance. Valentine Davies as Edstaston responded nobly to the tickling toe of the Empress- all the parts were conducted in a manner fitting the play and the time. One feels grateful for the time and 1 energy spent in perfecting the details of direction, costuming and stage management. The atmosphere was that which history tells us existed in Ctherine's court-royal pomposity struggling to maintain existence un-' der the less pompous frown of the ruler. The spirit in which Shaw un- doubtedly wrote the play seemed in- stilled in every character-and most particularly in the Empress. And having mentioned her again, I must return to Miss Loomis and her unaffected sense of humor. She en- tirely forgot that there was an audi- ence beyond the footlights and seemed to enjoy herself hugely throughout' the performance. The little aside laughs at the maudlin Patiomkin were quite spontaneous (as well they might have been), and her peculiar delight in the novel torture devised for Edsta-1 ston held no artificial tone. It is farce, pure and simple-writ- ten as a farce and played as one. Of burlesque there is a plenty, but if af recent account of court life under Catherine by Avrahm Yarmohinsky isj to be credited, much of what appearsI to be burlesque is cold reality. Having so thoroughly enjoyed the' performance, I cannot refrain from passing on the curtain announcement that "Great Catherine" will be pre- sented for a third time at 8:30 o'clock Friday night. If this be advertising, make the most of it. * s * THE ORGAN RECITAL Palmer Christian, University or- ganist, will present the following Or-! gan Recital this afternoon in Hill auditorium iat four-fifteen o'clock: Allegro maestoso, (Sonata in G) .......................
