Probably every European country neels protection of some kind, but when a nation ostensibly in such straits economically as Italy spends money for excessive protection it as- sumes a rather grotesque position in .the eyes of the world. Just how much of an air fleet is necessary to sus- tain Italy's "position in the Mediter- ranean" is dubious to the casual on- looker, but when rigid economy, to the extent of national suffering is the keynote of an administration it seems rather useless to spend vast sums on an air fleet-especially when there is no imminent war except one that It- aly herself may start. SUMMER SESSION One of the most notable develop- ments in the field of education in re- cent years has been the constant trend toward the use of the summer session by students. Many schools have as many as two-thirds of their winter enrollment in attendance at their summer courses and the oppor- tunity to shorten one's college career and reach a stage of productivity ealier has been widely used by stu- dents. Last summer at Michigan there were over 3,000 students in attend- ance. Large numbers, of them, of 'course, were teachers taking advant- age of the summer period to broaden their training, but an equally large number were regular students of the' University taking advantage of the additional work offered. There are few, if any, college fac- ulties that can approach the one at the University here in the summer, for, in addition to the exceptional scholars specially brought here, the part of the regular faculty remaining is at a far higher level than the aver- age, and the smaller classes add still more to the opportunity for valuable contacts. Still further, the three months of idleness which the summer means for some students, seem to be a dull and uninteresting outlook, there are few, if any, ways in which the time could be better spent than by attend- ing the summer session..

No details were given by the observer. The only persons we can imagine who would be wearing a thing like that at a time like this are some of those athletes who raced their way to victories and straw hats at the Michigan-Illinois track meet. * A * BULLETIN At a late hour last night, the Rolls special investigating committee was unable to confirm the report that a straw hat was seen upon the campus. The investigation is being continued today. THE CONQUEST OF LANE HALL (A Rolls Feature) Fired by the knowledge that anyone expressing a religious preference is a member of the Student's Christian association, we made a bold venture yesterday afternoon. And found there really is a Lane Hall. Lane Hall really wasn't so hard to find, after all. Walking north on State street, as directed, we found it was true that there was no possi- bility of making a mistake. Rolls Investigator Special photo of the Rolls Lane Hall investigation committee, wivho, disguised as a student, ventured into the innermost recesses of the den of the Student Christian association, and proved that it is safe for all students. Standing in front of the building, we thought it seemed oddly familiar. Then we remember we had been there once before, long, long ago. But of course freshmen can't be expected to know an better. Still at the last minute it took a lot of courage to enter. But a little fel- low, a meek looking chap, rushed past us and inside, and after that display of courage we couldn't hesi- tate any longer. * * k Explorer Proceeds Slipping unchallenged past the man at the desk, idly engaged in trying to keep busy at something, we gained the reading room ahd paused for a rest. Not one of those foreign indi- viduals, whom we have heard frequent the place, was in evidence. * * * Although a sign said, "New Books," we couldn't find "Elmer Gantry" nor any other such literature. There were a lot of nice, easy-looking chairs but we thought maybe they were a trap or something so didn't stay very long. * * * No Opposition Encountered The whole building was awfully quiet, and we were afraid that some- one might jump from an ambush and attempt to make us contribute to the Fresh Air fund. But we saw only six people all the time we were there, and they all appeared harmless. * * *0 We searched the building from top to bottom but did not meet any op. position. And it is with the utmost conviction that we are prepared to state that Lane Hall is an absolutely safe place for any student. * * * COMMERCE AND EDUCATION Ann Arbor Kiwanians, attired as newspaper boys, will sell papers on the streets this morning. Unfortunate- ly this is for a worthy cause so it would probably be better to withhold comment. * * * The men who will take part are probably some of those who fondly tell their friends their time is worth a dollar a minute. No doubt the cause would prefer the cash. * * * i CAMPUS OPINION Anonymous communications will be disregarded. The names of commune= cants will, however, be regarded as confidential upon request. i THIS AFTERNOON: The fifth pro- gram of the thirty-fourth annual May Festival at 2:30 o'clock in Hill Audi- I torium. TONIGHIT: The sixth program of the Festval at 5 o'clock in Hill Audi- toriumin. ROSA PONSELLE A Review, By Robert Henderson I remember her first concert-the first after her triumph at the Metro- politan-some four years ago. She had two arias, one from "Forza del Des- tino," the other from "Butterfly," and when they clamored for more she gave them her vaudeville songs. That shocked Ann Arbor. That first time she wore a tight in- decent black velvet gown, and red, red lips and a red feather fan. Last sea- son her gown was a glamorous white crinoline with ropes and ropes of pearls. And last night it was black and red again against glistening black hair and a white full face and wet red lips. Last night Rosa Ponselle furnished the first million dollar thrill of the Festival. Like Barre Hill's frock coat, she had genius that was electric the moment sie swept on the stage- for she is a prima donna now, Donna Maria of the wonderful manner. Her face, her body, her voice all had a radiance and luminosity-so warm and Italian-like a rich squashy kiss -that was living and throbbing every moment before its audience. Her voice always startles one. A voice that goes straight to its mark, hits the ear like a gesture. Its sud- den startling vivacity leaps out at you now and then like a red bird out of the shadows; it cuts like a bright whip across your senses. And finally, there is over everything a feeling for the theatric and a certain droll pungency of intelligence. The poet, the musician, the painter and the saint, all whose lives are possessed with a creative passion for art, draw life to them by their cap- acity for it. In them life is gathered, which in turn is refracted through their tingling personalities back to each one of us in the audience. That is why such artists as Rosa Ponselle and Sophie Tucker-or Ro- land Hayes and Sophie Braslau and Mary Garden and Raquel Meller can say and sing the simplest things in the greatest way. And that is why an artist like Miss Ponselle with such a God-given gift of song can sweep aside the importance of even such a virile work as Host's Choral Sym- phony and an exquisite interpreta- tion by Mr. Stock of Deem Taylor's brittle "Looking Glass" Suite. * * * LEA LUBOSHUTZ A Review, By Robert J. Gessner How can two weak, mortal fin- gers pound into a typewriter a des- cription of the sublime emotion of a virtuoso, of a passion which received the greatest applause ever bestowed upon a May Festival artist in recent years? Mme. Lea Luboshutz is a violin genius. And one always comes to the end of adjectivjes and exclamation points when a criticism of genius is attempted, and yet, after hearing the Bruch Concerto, as it came from the bow of Luboshutz, what else is there to do but restore to superlatives? In the extremely difficult Concerto she stands serene, insuperable, th mis- tress of instrument. The intense warmth of her passion, the glowing heat of her emotion characterizes her masterly style, which in turn gives a beautiful treatment of phrasing. The poise and character of melody in the adagio of the Concerto, the thematicI material of which is a Spanish dance rhythm, are examples of a zealous and impassionate playing. In the second group of solos Mme. Luboshutz rendered popular concert numbers. The Praeludium et Allegro of Pugnani-Kreisler afforded the vio- linist an opportunity to display a bold, vigorous style and a dazzling presen- tation, which graced her playing with a perfect balance between deep emo- tion and fine technique. In Gluck's Melody a daintiness of execution gave evidence of a passion always under control. Mozart's Rondo, with its ex- ceedingly difficult passages, again evi- denced a harmonic balance through a rich and melodic interpretation of brilliant phrases. And Brahms Waltz in A Major was done in a sympathetic understanding, in a womanly interpre- tation. Two encores-Franz Lehar's Frasquita Serenade and the Dancing Doll-were rendered in her character- istic grace and charm. Barre Hill is a rich, powerful bari- tone with exuberant energy. He sang like one inspired and held his audi- -r . HEADQUARTERS FOR PANAMA HATS Hats that are Good Prices that are Right. See us before you buy.

PATRICK ANOTHER AGREEMENT If there is any one thing that the history of European politics should have taught to the 'so-called diplo- mats, it is the fact that ententes are extremely dangerous, and that any struggle for the balance of power leads inevitably to serious conse- quences. In view of this fact it is queer in- deed that certain European nations, disregarding this axiom entirely, in- sist upon involving themselves in en- tangling alliances, complicating the politics of that disturbed continent, and often leading in the end to cata- clysms such as the World War. The latest such inpident is the new agreement between France and Eng- land in which France agrees to sup- port England on her Russian and Chinese policy, together with the at- titude of conciliation toward Italy, England on her part agrees to let France have a free hand in the Rhine- land affairs. The agreement in itself appears to be harmless enough-but all agreements appear that way at first, and if it leads ultimately to an- other great struggle for the balance of power, as it certainly may, it is bound to prove disastrous.( The next logical step that will fol- low from the Franco-British agree- ment is a" Russian-German entente. Then tlere ..will probably ensue a struggle for the support of Italy and another mighty set of alignments such as preceeded the last conflict wi}1 'have been achieved. The only hope that remains for the peace of Europe' if suchja situation arises is that the prestige of the United States, thrown on the side of peace, will be adequate. to stave otf the conflagration. It is to be hoped', of course, that this great pair of alliances will never I develop, and that some common basis of harmony will be attained in Eu- rope. Certainly our nation will be extremely reluctant to enter any war, as it should be, and will never enter any such alliances. If the na- tions of Europe and of the world THERE AND BACK AGAIN To The Editor: The customary procedure for a well- meaning editor to adopt concerning such an outburst as that of the El- derly Freshman in condemnation of my supposed reviews of "The Captive" and "Trelawney of the Wells" would be- to maintain a dignified silence-or at least approximate it. However, the humor of the incident warrants some expression, apd at the same time there are several false impressions of policy that merit correction. In the first place I did not write either the review of "The Captive" or "Trelawney of the Wells" appearing in my column; although this minimizes in the argument, for in the second instance at least I heartily agree with the critic. Merely because Mr. Tyler collected a galaxy of names to play Trelawney is no reason why blind obeisance should be made. As to "The Captive" I can neither agree of disagree with the production (al- though the play itself seems com- mendable) because I have never seen it. The article appearing was written by another person under a by-line of his own name. However, this does not refute his major argument concerning the policy of the column in general. It seems a chronic opinion that campus pro- ductions should be regarded in the same light as the professional ap- pearance of road companies either at the Whitney or Detroit. This is not what I have attempted to do during the past year, since these productions are on an entirely different level. With this standard in mind, however, I have criticized the local dramatic ventures according to the excellence of the play and the cast appearing. Con- cerning "R. U. R." (which I consid- ered excellent except for the epilotue .which is best forgotten) the fact that an entirely masculine cast was play- ing, must be taken into consideration, and precludes all attempt to judge it in the same light of Trelawney. As for The Rockford Players sea- son, while professional in a sense, it was given by the Players at cost for the benefit of The Women's League-, a fact which was recognized in the I FIELD PARTIES Eng ineering Botany Geography 0% - U I- _ A FEW OF THE ESSENTIAL ITEMS ARE: gy II others Mosquito Tents-must be seen to be appreciated.
