Among all good journalists there
exists a code of ethics, the existence
of which is one of the reasons ad-
'va-ced for the, classification of
journalism as a profession. This code
of ethics is a' wide and varient thing,
-ndf°Jmay; pcr haps, be said to rest
mainly upon confidence.
During the past week the campus
has witnessed two outstanding
breaches of newspaper ethics in re
gard to the University on the part of
Da'roit nqgpqpers. Both were due
to the violation of confidence, the re-
porter's noiAtiable asset. But
while the first case, in which a sin-
gle individual directly, and the entire
University indirectly, was made to
suffer, was bad, the second case was
by far the most dishonorable infrac-
tion.
This second case involved the quo-
tation, without permission, of a re-
mark made by a professor in his
classroom, made in a humorous man-
nor, by 'the way, and the addition to
that remark of the reporter's own
thoughts on the subject. If any pa-

dnts and alumni who are able to
understand the conditions, is not
privileged to publish such statements,
a metropolitan paper, which reaches
hordes of people who, because 01

elight in criticising our colleges, has
no such right.

IF ALL PEOPLE HAD WINDOWS
IN THEIR HOUSES LIKE THESE
At a conference held yesterday
afternoon final arrangements were
completed to transfer the annual
Spring production of Comedy Club
from the Whitney theatre to the I
Mimes theatre. George Bernard"
Shaw's four-act farce, "You Never
Can Tell," has been the play selected,
and as in the past the performances
will be directed by >rof. J. Raleigh
Nelson of the Engineering Englih de-
partment. The dates have been fied
as Tuesday, Wednesday andl Thurs-I
day, April 27, 28 and 29, and the cast
will be placed in rehearsal immedi-
ately.
This decision, following the uin-
usual success of "Great Catherine,"
indicates a spirit of co-operation that
virtually effects a common union; and
while each organization will main-
tain its identity and individuality, the
productions can now be adequate
housed and presented at popular
prices. Such a step means that with
the exception of the Junior Girls' play
and the Play Production course, both
of which were prevented by previous
contracts, all campus performances
during the semester will be. given in
the Mimes theatre.
The Mimes theatre, therefore, pend-
ing the day when a legitimate Cam-
pus theater will be built, practically
becomes a substitute. It is a beauti-
ful auditorium with a seating capa-
city of five hundred and splendid
acoustic properties, luxurious furnish-
ings and a completely equipped stage.
The playhouse has just been redec-
orated, and within the last few days
an entire set of x-ray border lights
equipped with dimmers have been in-
stalled for the performances of "Beg-
garman."
The entire activity and popularity
of student productions on the campus
this year is largely the result of this
centralization. The old regime of a
few "social" plays, with a patron's
list and a prohibitive admission, has
gone to the limbo of far-off, forgotten
things. This year the performances
are drawing standing-room houses of
student audiences. Dramatics have
never been so finished and healthy.

MARION 'TALLEY
In the wake of the plethora of
heart-throb publicity that would have
dwarfed the performance of the most
gifted soprano in the world, Olin
Downes, music critic on the New
York Times, has this rational criti-
cism to offer on Marion Talley's de-
but at the Metropolitan Opera House
in "Rigoletto":
"Miss Talley has a voice of uncom-
monly fresh and lovely quality, one:
unusually even in the lower and mid-
die registers and of ample range and
flexibility in the upper part for the
coloratura 'repertory-a voice, in
short, of which a really admirable
and accomplished coloratura singer
can be made.
"The second item, of equal import-
ance, is that Miss Talley precipitated
at the age of 19, and with virtually
no previous experience, upon one of
the most famous operatic stages in
the world, has not at present the art-
istic knowledge to make most of her
gifts. The vocal tone last night had
at times a paleness, a lack of color
and carrying power consequent upon
insufficient breath support. Such a
condition is explicable on the grounds
of nervousness and inexperience of
a big stage ,but also on those of in-
sufficient preparation. The voice,
however, is well placed and has no
bad habits or distortions, such as
often occur with young singers.
"It need hardly be added that on
each and every possible occasion
whatever Miss Talley did was ap-

CLEAN THOSE WALKS !! !
To the Editor:
One of the things about which ourF
University authorities can not be
proud is the general condition of the
steps of the Library in the winter.
Just about every year from December
to March, the Library steps are either
a mass of snow and ice through
which students plough their way or
else a sea of slush and mush, which
the men and women are forced to
negotiate to get into the building. I
don't know where the Building and
Grounds men are supposed to be, but'
they obviously stay away from the
Library. I am sure that the majority
