other pursuits, it is needless to force
them to endure hours of infantry drill.
The University of Michigan has aI
military training school, which, al-
though small, has the reputation of
being unusually efficient. Its aboli-
tion would be a great loss, but mak-
ing membership in it compulsoryj
would be a great mistake, and would
find scant favor on the campus.
It is doubtful whether carrying a
gun three hours a week in the type
of drill offered by most R. O. T. C.
units would tend to make America!
very militaristic. That is not the!
main objection-military training is
not essential in the process of turn-
ing out good citizens, and that is the
purpose of Michigan State college.
Compulsory military training is
still insisted upon at the University
of Illinois and elsewhere, but opinion
in its favor is gradually decreasing.,
Michigan State would make no mis-
take in making membership in its
military unit elective.
CORDIALLY INVITED--BY LAW
Police reporters seem to be mutual-
ly agreed in placing the blame for the
most recent "crime wave" on the.
alien gunmen, in itself a more or less
undefined term. At any rate, their
insistent remarks havd at least led to
publicity to the effect that "the bor-
der partols are being tightened up."
And while the Immigration depart-
ment is attempting to build unpene-
trable barriers along the Canadian
and Mexican borders, observers have
quietly remarked that some 20,000
foreign seamen, mostly of a class
barred under the immigration laws,
are peacefully entering the country
through the port of New York every
year. The responsibility for this con-f
dition has been placed on the La
Follette act, under the terms of which
crews are premitted to leave their
vessels in American ports to seek
other berths,-during which period
the Immigration department has ab-
solutely no check on them, they may
stay in the country, and the officials
have no way of preventing it.
Thus, while one branch of our gov-
ernment is placing heavily armedI
guards in the path of the smuggled,
alien, other foreigners who chose an
easier and more renumerative method,
of transportation from their native
lands enter the country unmolested
under the provisions laid down byi
another governmental division.
There are dozens of sayings which
have as their basis the idea that "co-
operation is the keynote of success."
There must be some justification for
those statements; there must be some
justification fgr the statement that "A
house divided among itself cannot
stand."
Carrier pigeons are to be used in
the ice delivery business out in Cali-
formnia. Not that California pigeons
are so much stronger than ordinary
and - legs suggestive of... . the purest
merriment (for to the pure all is pure).
IThe old school dressed their person-
ages in funny costumes. You obtain
jocular effects with the nude figure
and dainty undress-all in the best
style of academic economy of means.
I, for one, highly appreciate the re-
serve with which the subject is treat-
ed and how successfully you refrainedi
from what a loose imagination might
have devised in a subject that his-
torical documents and ascertained
facts imposed upon you.
It was not for you to dissociate
.ethics from the fine arts. You duly
thought it your duty to redress the
too widely spread prejudice that there
is no home-life in France. Your ex-
act knowledge of the manners of that
country and your relish for its refined
civilization prompted you to introduce
a moral purport in your picture.
French girls, French fiancees and
French wives (if I interpret rightly
your allegoric intentions) will be
grateful to you for glorifying them in
the eyes of the world. You very aptly
expressed, by discreet allusions, yourf
appreciation of the solidarity of gen-
erations in France and of the French
reverence for children.
Your esteemed magazine, we trust,
has some circulation on the other side
of the Atlantic. I shall not fail to
forward a few copies to my friends in
France, so that they should not re-
main ignorant of the Gargoyle's wit
and tact, as well as the Gargoyle's
respect for truth, in your happiest
moments of thoughtful humor.
Your "number is a noticeable con-
tribution to the new spirit of friendly
feelings and friendly relations with
European countries and I want you
to get full credit for it abroad. It
will be but a small tribute of my sin-
cere admiration.
Yours truly,

ARE FRESHMEN ABUSEDI
To the Editor:
The - time has come for Michigan
students to recognize a problem,
which on the surface may not seem.
to be very serious, but which never-
theless must be dealt with if properj
jooperation of classes is to be main-
twined. It is that of recognizingj
freshman as individuals on a basis of,
freedom if not even equality.
A freshman enters the university
as a student, not as a victim for the
persecution and contempt of that ele-!
ment of the student body whose acti-!
vities are not important enough to fill
their leisure hours, but unfortunately:
that element does not consider it so.l
It is unfortunate that the University
should have such people present (they
contribute little to the sum total of
human knowledge and little or noth-
ing to the 'reputation, of the school,
either while undergraduates or after-1
wards). but they are here- and the I

THE ST. OLAF CHOIR
A review, by Charles Dearing.
Melius Christiansen, director of the
St. Olaf Lutheran choir, is an impos-'
ing personality, impressive not alone
in appearance but in manner, entirely
adequate to the spirit of such a pro-
gram as his.
The numbers consisted chiefly of
sixteenth and seventeenth century(
compositions characterized by Schu-
mann and Bach. The one weak spot
in the program was the choppy and
bedlam-like number, "Sing Ye to the
Lord," fortunately used as the open-
ing piece. This was followed by
"Misericordias Domini," a marvel for
tone blending and decisive execution.
An effective trick, an echo in the
form of two concealed sopranos, used
in order to heighten the mystic effect'
of "Benedictus qui venit," succeeded
completely. "Put up the Sword" by
Christiansen, was beautiful for the
cello-like tones of the bass section,
harmonized with parts, perfect for
control and balance. , Christiansen's
complete mastery of choral conduct-
ing, as well as of composition, was'
evidenced by "electric" attacks, per- l
fect, phrasing, and by nicely guaged
crescendo and diminuendo.!
Then as if to break the spell of the
intense, almost oppressive spirit of
the preceding number, "O Sacred
Head," there came an anthem of
ethereal joy, "Deck Thyself, M-ly Soul,
With Gladness."
Not to be a "mar-feast," but therei
was one "flat" soprano voice which f
quite distressingly insisted on assert-,
ing itself occasionally,-unfortunate
but easily disregarded.
Sacred themes set to the music of
Schumann and Bach are inherentlyI
inspiring; when reproduced by hu-
man voices they are sublime. The
performance of the St. Olaf choir was
unique--vestments, solos and cho-
ruses unaccompanied, and truly mar-
velous 'reproductions. Last night's
appearance was its first in Ann Arbor
--may it not be the last.

ANOTHER )IONARCHY?
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicolaevitch,
uncle of the late Czar Nicholas II, of'
Russia, has been chosen unanimously
to "lead the monarchist body now
meeting in Paris. In the message that
announced to the Grand Duke the
unity of the party, the congress ex-
pressed itself . as "sharing the patri-
otic hopes within and without Rus-
sia.' -
If this is true, and if Nicholas isj
the proper man, the overthrow of the
Soviet government is more than half
completed. Perhaps without the
shedding of one drop of blood, the
1hing can be accomplished. Monarch-
ist claims that no attempt will be
made to force the issue down the
throats of the Russian people would
seem to indicate that a peaceful
method offers possibilities. Circum-
stances attendant upon the establish-
anent of the present form of rule in
Russia abnormally increased the fea-
sibility of the use of force and strong!
leadership. This fact alone may prove
to be a strong point in their favor.
Long established tradition is another
power not to be reckoned with too
lightly.
While the condition of the Russian
people -does not make the setting up
Of a form of democratic government
impossible, smtph -a turn of events
would quite likely prove unfortunate.-
Two courses ari'then open: the pres-
ent governmental organization, or aE
moderately limited monarchy. The
stability of thetiSoviet regime is not
so sure as to make the task of the
monarchist congress hopeless.

"THE SKIN GAME"
A review, by Marian Welles. A
John Galsworthy, with his usual
Olympian impartiality and impersonal ,
objectivity, has given us in "The Skin MAN g i
Game" another play with a too evenly M NN
balanced cast. Each character is I
matched with another,-even the I
strangers come in pairs-and the ef-
feet of the whole is sameness and a G ood H ats -
monotony that reminds us of the say-
