I SKILLED REPAIRING All Makes i- li I, with I 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- 'r is ever privileged to publish the (avual remarks of faculty men, a student paper should have that right Yt the men and women working on the stalf of The Daily are specifically i,'tructed not to in any way use the remarks made in class or lecture rooms without authorization. Surely, then, if a student .paper, which cir- culates for the most part among stu- 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 uorvnce or other causes, take great elight in criticising our colleges, has no such right. Unless faculty men can feel that their class and lecture rooms are their own, closed to the outside world as much as though they were sur- rov.nded by the stone walls of Ox- fc'O, it will be impossible for them to g've their, best to their students,-- they will be under a constant re- traint, and the more versed a maxi is in his subject, to that much greater 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. S S S 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- 1717- Y!1/QUUII/lttTl!//l!//ffl!/,7/1/Ulll!/// I F QUICK SERVICE in CHIROPODIST AND; WP )" e4 ORTIIQPEIIST V 707 N.

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.
