This conference, which has been heldI

600, the indications are that it will
be still larger.this year.

Do mice sing?
This is not a catch examination
question from freshmen zoology, nor
even a subject of investigation, for
mice do sing---and what is more the
University, in the laboratory of Prof.
Lee 17. Dice, possesses some of the
operatic little beasts.
Of course not every mouse sings,
and even in the most exclusive fam-
ilies of inging mice, only a few
reach vof.al hrIghts. It was a very
plain little mouse in Detroit, never-
theless, which originated the strain,
and since his descendants have been
reared in the laboratories here, large
numbers of them have exhibited
musical tendencies.
Abcut three years ago a man by
the name of Clark, in Detroit, -sought
to exterminate a certain mouse which
POSTPONES ELCTION

had been troubling his environs.
When about to commit the deadly act
he was attracted by a queer clear
muscial note, and discovering that
there were no canaries in the room
decided that it. must be his mouse.
(The singing is somewhat similar toI
that of a bird-being clear and not at
all squeaky.)
Later the mouse was sent to the
university here to be inve'stigated, and
though it refused to sing when con-
fined in a cage in President Little's
living room, its concerts were fre-
quent and entertaining in more ordin-
ary surroundings. At the ripe old age
of 18 months the musical mouse
passrd away, not, however, without
leaving some 1,800 descendants for
subsequent investigation (mice, it
seems, have a penchant for large
familites.)
Of these descendants, not all sing,
but by careful pruning Professor Dice
hopes to develop a strain in which all
members will be vocal artists. Thus
far his investigations have not gone
far enough to determine what success

WARBECKEDISCUSSES~
CROCES PHILOSOPHY
-AuthorityOn Aesthetics Speaks O
Relationship Of Arts And 1
Everyday Life '
MAN IS POTENTIAL ARTIST
"Benedetto Croce has a versatility
equal to the greatest figures of the
' Renaissance," declared Dr. John M.
Warbecke in a university lecture yes-
terday evening in the Natural Science
auditoriutm.
Professor Warbecke, who spoke on
the subject of "Benedetto Croce, In-
terpreter of Art," emphasized the fact
that Art is closely related to every-
day life. According to the speaker,'
one of Croce's fundamental principles,
has been his insistence upon the inti-l
mate correlation of aesthetics and
materalistic life.
The typical man, Dr. Warbecke in-
sisted, believes that aesthetics has
something to do with Oscar Wilde at
a pink tea of a long-haired pianist
playing in a dimly lighted room. He1
added that Plato himself failed toi
realize the importance of the aesthetici
apprecati-on of true art.
In contrast to Plato, the speaker
pointed out that Keats had lacked an
undertanding of the importance of thei
imore material philosophy; but, al-j
though Keats had derided philosophy
and Plato aesthetics, both had used
he things they had falied to appre-
dlate in their works. "One's likings in1
the art-sshow one's fundamental char-~
acter," D~r. Warbecke declared. It
Returning to Croce's philosophy,
Professor Warbecke stated that Croce
had used the analytical method in his
treatment. "He has answered the an-1
cient question as to whether Art is
immitation by saying that it is intui-
tion," Dr. Warbecke said. "The argu-
nent that art is realism is false," he
continued. In support of this conten-
tion he used the illustration of im-'
mitating sounds on a piano. "There
is something lacking in this type of
playing," he said.
"We must distinguish action from
knowledge," Dr. Warbecke continued.
"Intuition has a relation to- know-
ledge, but intuition does not rise to
the distinctions of truth and falsity,"
he added.
Professor Warbecke concluded hi's
lecture by emphasizing the fact that
!it is impossible -to have an artistic
image in your consciousness and not
be able to express it. Thus, accord-
ing to the speaker Croce bridges the
gap between the -immortal artists such
as Dante and the average man in the
street. Both are potential artists,"
he said.

VARSIIY REIAINS IN FIRST
DIVISION BY VIRTUE
OF VICTORY
CHICAGO DEFENSE STRONG
HIatrigan Returns To Old-Time Form
When Inserted In Lineup
. In Second Half
(By Herbert Vedder)
Alternating between dull ragged
ness and occasional brilliance, Mich-
igan's Wolverines displayed enough
to win a close and rather humorous
game of basketball from the close-
guarding Maroons last night in Yost
Fieldl house, thereby reimaining in
the first division. By taking the
short end of the 26-23 score, Chica-
go lost its :opportunity of dislodging
the Wolverines from fifth place in
the standings.
No generalizations can well be ap-
plied to last night's squabble which
at times was exceedingly rough as
attested by the fact that Chicago and
Michigan each lost a man on fouls.
Scoring, such as there was, was rath-
er well divided, Rose leading the
Wolverines with seven points while
Farwell and Gist each snared as
many four Chicago.
Chicago Cuts Lead
After watching Michigan fritter
away a lead of 19-13 acquired be-
fore the second period was half gone
until the Maroons were within two
points of the Wolverines, the crowd
came .to life with cries for Capt.
Frank Harrigan who had been kept
on the bench after his showing
against Purdue. Coach Veenker ac-
ceded and Harrigan proceeded to put
up his most brilliant performance on
the local court this year, seeming to
recover much of his last year's skill
and 'floor work.
A moment later Gawne sank one
of two free throws but Kaplan broke
into the scoring column with a bas-
ket which put Chicago within a lone
point of the lead. Orwig returned to
the game in Gawne's place and made
a basket pronto, thanks to fine
breaking on his and Harrigan's Part.
Gist retaliated for Chicago making
the score 22-21, but the Wolverines
were driving now with Harrigan and
Orwig leadiing the way. Each made a
basket good, giving Michigan a five
point lead. Cooper, last Maroon sub-
stitute, reduced this by two and the
game ended shortly after.
Guards Are Strong
With McDonough and Hoerger do-
ing some fine guarding for the Ma-
roons, Bennie ' Oosterbaan's high
point aspirations were given a
decided setback, one basket each half
being the total of his scoring effec-
tiveness. Rose, who started in Harri-
gan's place, turned in a rather good
floor exhibition, being the Wolverines'
"Big Bertha" durin'g the first half
when he made all of his seven points.
