The theorist is not monopolizing the college faculty today.

Compliments and recognitions such as this may be regarded- as a barome- tric indication of the character of the nation's educational leaders. 1EDLTORTAL C0NS1STENVY Last fall the Wisconsin Daily Car-I dinal vehemently attacked prohibition through its editorial columns, point- ing in no uncertain terms to the1 (eprIvation of personal liberty which is briought about by the dry amend- ment, and urging abolition of the la)#. Despising consistency, the Daily Cardinal is now engaged in a stren-1 uous editorial campaign which advo- cates doing away with all student automobiles at Wisconsin. The per-1 sonal rights element is not considered i the more recent issue, but the Daily Cardinal believes that the stu-1 dent car is endangering the morale, as well as the physical welfare, of the university's student body. Leaving aside the arguments pro and con concerning the student auto-t mobile and prohibition questions, it( behooves any newspaper to attemptr consistency, at least, in its trend of editorial thought,. - '1H HIH AANDI MiGhTY JUDGE The American Legion, otherwise worthy and honorable organization, has taken upon itself in recent years the task of trying to dictate what should be talked about and taught in/ public educational institutions, ele- mentary and advanced. NumerousI Legion post members, whose "virile and vigorous patriotism" has been al- lowed to supersede their better judg-- ment, have made themselves nuisances in frequent attempts to determine what shall be taught in the schools and to suppress various liberal orc "Communistic" organizations.C The case at West Chester, Pennsyl- vania, where the Bernard F. Schlegelt post of the Legion attempted to oust, two instructors of the West Chester Normal school and force the disband- ing of a liberal club sponsored by them due to its alleged radical ten-1 dencies is not exceptional. It is typi- cal- of this deplorable practice. ,c r PASTED, LL"' w 77 THE POOR L_1( i)1'1ERS t t M uAllc and Drama } I BUSINESS STAFF Telephone 21214 BUSINESS MANAGER PAUL W.

Publishers of "Etude Music Magazine, Philadelphi Pa. February the Ninth, 197. Mr. Chares A. Sink, University School of Music, Ann Arbor, Michigan- i Dear Mr. Sink There is a thrill that comes with the presentation of such a magnificent musical festival as you have organized that can only be accounted for through an..u nderstanding of the history of our race. We here in America are a marvelous conglomerate of many races and nations. In our early days the inhibitions of the Puritans and the Quakers suppressed for almost a century the natural instinct of man to 'come together in great musical festival,. Yet deep down in our consciousness as one of, the most precious legacies from the past, was this wonderful- uipulse to worship at the altar of music. Whether our blood is Latin, Anglo-Saxon or Slav, there is within us all something which we have inherited that makes such a music festival as you have planned a soul satisfying event not to be compared with anything that we know. The presence of a great chorus, a wonderful orchestra and no less than a dozen of the world's foremost artists, all gathering in person are suire to make this festival a remarkable occasion. Every ticket sold will be in fact the purchase of an opportunity ,to take part in one of the great events in a human life, because after all the members of the audiences are just as much participants as are those who are upon the rostrum. Great musical festivals are civilization builders and I extend my heartiest congratulations to Mr. Earl V. Moore, to yourself and to all those who have organized this splendid occasiorn. I only regret I will be out of the country and cannot make it posible to attend in person. Prof. Waldo Abbot of the rhetoric de- partment, authority on cheese, oil, qnd co-ed grades, has given the fol- I lowing statement to Rolls: "Rock- ford,' he says, "The name of a town in Illinois, is a vulgar Americaniza- tion of 'the much more aesthetic term Roquefort,' which is correct. The name is derived from a famous Irish chemist and gas expert who invented "For Favors, Be a Committeeman." * * * DIRECT RADIO CONTACT The Hobbs' expedition will be in con- stant touch with the University by radio, according to announcements. Al special station here will enable Hobbs to continue talking to local audiences about the expedition.
