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 r---- OATED ROLL THESE MOTIE 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. * * t "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." a* s "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." L. C. SMITH The Easy-Running Typewriter 0. D. MORRILL, Dealer L. C. Smith and Corona Teypewriters, Inc. 17 Nickels Arcade Phone 661a 4 .

SMITH, JR. 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. that never wrote for Chimes." * * * 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.
