THE WEEKLY
Next year will see the advent of a
new newspaper to the campus. The
Michigan Weekly, it is hoped will ful-
fill a need that has been felt for some
time, the need for a weekly compre-
hensive review of University news.
The Daily in itself offers not only .a
great deal more than University news
but also provides some news that
would interest only those who are in
the University or are connected with
it. The families of students who
have heard so very little real news
concerning campus doings up to the
present will be afforded the chance
they have been seeking.
The paper will furnish the most
possible news for the least possible
cost. The cost of production is being
cut down by means of using stories
,which were printed in The Daily dur-
ing the week before publication. All
costs of sending, changes which have
to be made in stories, and other mis-
cellaneous contributions to the over-
head, will have to be paid from the
subscription price.
If the students fall down in sup-
porting the paper, it will not fulfill
its purpose. The life of the new pa-
per depends on the students. And
the value of the paper to the Univer-
sity campus will bring a return with
interest to the student's support of it.
THE VICTIM
In 1926, just before the closing of
the session of Congress, the tax
quotas foil the year had not yet been
arrived at. When all of the taxes had
been adjusted according to the wishes
and beliefs of the members present
there yet remained a deficit under
what the House insisted must be
raised. The time was drawing near
to a close and to meet with the ob-
jections of the House, and raise the
amount that was set by the budget,
the deficit was filled by raising the
tax of corporations to thirteen and
one-half per cent on returns.
The arrangement was, to say the
least, hurried and unfair, and it has
during the past year thrown a great
burden on the corporations. That any
one department of taxable activities
should bear the burden because of
the fact that it is the largest activity
is to penalize progress and activity
and place a premium on size instead
of on earning power. Many of the
large corporations and most of the
smaller ones have suffered from the
arrangement and all of them have been
prevented from expanding in a way
that the demands of industry de-
manded.
It should be the first care of the
tax experts of the administration
that the taxes are adjusted so that
the amounts are raised and yet so
that no single activity is bearing an
unreasonable burden. And of all the
activities which we cannot afford to
-hamper by unwise taxation, industry
is the foremost. Our whole success
has been built upon the expansion
of our trade and any move which
hampers the enlargement and the free
operation of this trade strikes at the
very heart of the future greatness of
the country. The taxes should be ad-
justed at once, and the burden more
equally distributed among all branches
of activity.
The United States entered the eco-
nomic conference with the idea of bet-
tering international conditions and
relations of that nature. The dele-
gates, however, seem to have been
forced to spend much of their time
defending the policies of this coun-
try
i
such as the amazingly good team work
of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
and its conductor in the glorious Sev-
enth Symphony of Beethoven, the Schu-
man n Symphony, the Deems Taylor
work, and so much else that they did?,
These works with the work of the!
Choral Union in the Beethoven Mass,
the Iolst music, and last but by no
means least, that excellently played
extract from Bach's Concerto for
strings and three pianos, provided a
real inspiration for most of us. StillI
soloists have their place and I felt
that Sophie Braslau's was the best l
all-around performance; in spite of
the limitations of the concert hall-
of space and atmosphere-her inter-.
pretation of the devil-may-care gypsy
Carmen was a good piece of art.
Concerning Hoist's Choral Sym-
phony a local critic has tried to de-
tract from, the English origin of this
writer's work. It is true that all great
art is cosmopolitan, but it generally
shows evidence of national thought'
and effort. Holst is perhaps the lead-
ing representative of what English
music is doing. He, Vaughn Wil-
liams, and Walford Davies are three
of o u r modern pioneers, of West1
County birth but who have workedj
mostly in London. Mr. Earl Moore
has indicated how Holst has restatedj
in modern terms the fundamental
principles of vocal part writing of
the Golden Age of Vocal Music in
England: music that was well illus-
trated by the Madrigals sung by the
'English Singers' here last Fall. The
modification to meet present day tech-
nique is, I suppose, the cosmopolitan
imprint.' I believe one of the funda-
mental principles of vocal music,
which these pioneers are striving
after, is the closer sympathy of musi-l
cal expression with the underlying
poetic expression; not only by general
melodic excursion and feeling but in
the more intimate coordination of word
and phrase structure with the move-
ments and rhythm of the melody. The
rigid confinement of music and poetry
by so many bars of equal measure
gives way to a delightful freedom
which like escape to an imprisoned
animal is bound to be strange at first:
it later becomes of absorbing interest
however and allows a much fuller self-
expression. I wish that it could have
been possible to have heard the "Ode
on a Grecian Urn" repeated. Perhaps
a May Festival is not the place to do

STARS
Complete, positive and thorough en-
nui was expressed yesterday by
"Daisy" Denton, ex-Michigan student,
in an inclusive interview with vari-
ous members of the Rolls staff, in re-
gard to his prospects in the moving
picture industry.

"I really .can't say that I expected
them to choose me," declared the star
who so rapidly rose to fame. "I didn't
think they would show that much
judgment."

"Yes, I accepted the offer imme-
diately," continued the precocious
performer. "I had already selected
that particular company, so that was
all. there was to it. I was a trifle sur-
prised that they did not act more
promptly, but decided I would over-
look that as they have really attempt-
ed to be so magnanimous."
The report that he was to take a
juvenile part in his first picture was
emphatically denied. "I have decid-
ed," Daisy declared, "that tragedy
would be my proper field. It gives
so much more opportunity for real
acting."

CHEERING SECTION
Last fall, by instigation of the Stu-
dent Council, Michigan's first official
cheering section was inaugurated at
the football games. The experiment,
consideringa the handicap of the first
year, was a success to a large degree.
More than 1,000 students took per-
manent'seats in the section for the
home games.
Next fall Michigan will open the
season in her magnificent new stad-
ium. Nothing could be more fitting
to the spirit which that stadium rep-
resents than an, immense cheering
section to concentrate the cheering
for the members of both teams. There
are two possible courses in the es-
nhihatAf thccrin "Ad b th
so high that it seems almost beyond'
the powers of endurance of the so-
pranos and tenors. The solo quar-
tette did not give a well-balanced per-
formance. Realizing, however, human
limitations, the work was amazingly
well done: Vincent d'Indy, quoted in
the program notes, remarks how
Beethoven in the Sanctus has raised
silence into sublimity. Concerning
silence it does seem a pity that great
music should not more often be re-
warded by thisrather than by clap-
ping: one of the greatest moments of
the festival was spoiled by such a
intrusion.
During the series of concerts there
was a fair sprinkling of "program
music," the most pleasing of which
was Deems Taylor's delightful "Look-
ing Glass" suite. It was interesting
to note that ripple of mirth that
greeted the death of the Jabberwock
and to realize how many people sit
through so much of Beethoven's hu-
mor with tense solemn faces. It is
true that he is a little more subtle
though none the less amusing.
I would like to close these rambling
remarks by paying some tribute to
the colossal amount of work that Mr.
Earl Moore must have put into mak-
ing the Festival the success that it,
was, and to say how much much we
enjoyed the unassuming effectiveness
of his control of the works that he
conducted.

Numerous advantages are promised
for the students taking out subscrip-
tions to send home. A special advant-
age will be had by those whose par-
ents read the Detroit papers.
To prove that there really is culture
at the University, a music and drama
section will be included. However,
Rolls will also be there, for the bene-
fit of the remaining majority of the
Ireaders.:
* * *. ..
Writeups of the lectures by visiting
celebrities and authorities as well as
by the local notables will be reprint-
ed. Attendance at these can be
claimed-as an excuse for not study-
ing for the regular courses.
All riots will be covered by Rollsj
special correspondent. Only the truth
will be printed-as we see it.
Unfortunately, no advertising will
be printed. That would be good to
show the folks back home how much
we really have to pay for things
here.
PUNS, such as "The Weakly," are
entirely out of order, according to
the management.j
