Tilley Reporters A NEW RADIO STATION "Michigan Night," broadcast weekly by station WCX-WJR, has I now become a regular educational feature of the University. For the past three years an old room in University, hall, entirely unfitted' for broadcasting purposes, has' been used. The University has at last seen the necessity for improv- ing transmitting conditions and has appropriated a sum sufficient to remodel Morris hall to contain a modern studio, acoustically per- fect for broadcasting. This step indicates that the Uni- versity has recognized the educa- tional importance of its radio pro- grams. Regularly on Thursday nights persons in Detroit, in New York, and even some as far west as the Rocky mountains have the Opportunity to hear instructive, and at the same time, entertaining lectures by many outstanding men in each of the branches of educa- tion. Besides this, musical selec- tions played by various campus musical organizations are alterna- ted with the speeches, thus provid- ing enjoyable variety. In addition, the move marks a distinct advance in the furthering of interest in education, and at the same time provides facilities for broadcasting comparable with those of any university station in the country. T ASEDROLL A DOLLAR'S WORTH OF MUSTARD We've just completed an exhaust- ing survey of the new directory and we've come to the conclusion that the contents are worth at least a dollar. * * * For instance, the book contains two Appleyards and a Brewer. The latter is no doubt responsible for Gin and Beer. Or maybe Ginman and Wineman have something to do with it. * * * . Anyway, the federal men will be relieved to learn that there's a Sober in the insidious little publication to make up for them. Other appetizing bits in the way of freshmen are Sturgeon and Fishkin, who ought to be related if they're not. ., * * * Then there's Gimmy and Wunsch, and if you're not too hard to please we might put them together and say Wunsch Gimmy? 7t.

[n the first place, students will port on the younger members of e faculty, excluding the obvious jection which immediately rises at the snap judgments of a few idents could alter the relations! the 'administration with faculty embers who have served the Uni- rsity long and well. Rather the investigation is di- cted at instructors in an effort to ovide the administration with ta on their ability to form per- nal contacts with students and eir extra-classroom interests, nether student activities or re- arch. This latter phase of the vestigation will aid in selecting r next fall a University College culty of men who prefer work th student personalities to re-' ndite problems of literary and ientific investigation. At present, also; the feeblest of oilities exist for informing the ministration of the various ex- llencies and shortcomings of an structor's class room work. It for instance, considered unethi- L for a department head or a full >fessor to visit classes conduct- by instructors and form opin- e of the work being done. Pro- tions to professorships thus ne largely as the result of guess- rk, aided somewhat by hearsay d'rumor retailed by students. One result of the investigation uld be to make student gossip. out instructors official and ra- nal. Instead of depending on ance 'to carry it to the ears of thorities, the plan will provide an icial. channel through which thenticated rumors can prompt- find' their way to the highest thorities. It is also obvious that nscientious investigators, to be ected with care by members of e Student council, will not give rrency in their reports to un- asidered statements.reither in dse or in derogation of any in- uctor.

Our commercial aviation is at least on a par with that of Europe, and in the field of motor construction1 we have forged far into the lead. But there is one branch of avia- tion, recognized in Europe to be of paramount importance, in which the United States has done almost nothing since the memorable be- ginnings of the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk. That branch of avia- tion is gliding. In Germany especially the art of gliding has spread everywhere+ as a sport, as a training school for pilots, and as an experimental lab-1 oratory in which to develop techni- cal data.+ Through the influence and ac- tivity of such moving spirits in American aviation as Edward S. Evans of Detroit, gliding is now penetrating this country, and is making its first bid for such popu- larity here as it already enjoys in Germany.1 Michigan should be especially proud that her students are taking the lead in establishing the sport in this country. The future of aviation in America may be said to rest in large measure on a broad and comprehensive development of gliding throughout the country. HOW ILLINOIS FEELS (From the Daily Illini of Oct. 28) Yesterday's game was one of the most exciting we have witnessed ! in some time. That is it was excit- ing for both sides in the last five minutes of play. During the earl- ier periods, it seemed like it was going to be a one-sided contest with the Illini scoring at will. We are happy that the Ilinin have tucked away another victory -another leg on the second suc- cessive Conference championship. But we want that championship! Saturday's performances were somewhat of a repetition of last week's-the team fought like an organized machine during the first part of the game while the student body cheered. Then when the game got under way and everything seemed to be tucked away in our pocket, everybody-ourselves in- cluded--sat back and decided to watch the mechanical process of a football game. Again we are reminded of Coach Zuppke's declaration at the pep meeting the night before the In- diana game-that Illinois students in the past have not wanted two successive championships and we wonder just how right Zup is. There was no spirit on the part of students in the second half until Illinois seemed to be in danger. Illinois students seem to feel that we have another Conference cham- pionship. WE DO NOT! We still have three games to play. Some persons have triedto make out that two of these games will be easy. Ask Zup. He'll tell you1 that they will be far from easy., Ohio is admittedly our greatest rival for Big Ten honors. But what abouthMichigan and Chicago? Both teams would like to do nothing better than stop Illinois. They do not have as good teams, but a team that has spirit behind it is far more likely to be victorious than one without such support. The Conference championship is still in doubt. It rests on the student body of the University of Illinois to determine whether that crown shall come to the Illini. As for our team, we wish to con-+ gratulate them. They put up a noble fight: they held when theyI * * * And if that falls flat, we'll put Mr. Kitch and Mr. Ku together and say Kitch Ku-but the trouble is, Ku is not a freshman. Listed as coming from Chicago is a frosh named Daniel Boone. In the old pioneer days Daniel Boone blazed a way through the west and made a name for himself. * * * But if this fresh were to buy a machine gun and blaze away through Chicago he wouldn't even be noticed. * * * One student is listed as belong- ing to the, class of '3. The editors claim that most of the errors that creep into the directory are due to the illegibility of the students' card, but perhaps this isn't an error. * * * Maybe- this student preferred to be indefinite. * * * Or maybe he stood in front of the Union desk so long, wait- ing to register, that he forgot what class he did belong to. * * * Anyway, to be technical, errors don't creep =into the directory; somebody puts them there. * * * We wonder, then, if Mr. Ak- ram's first name really is Aziz, or whether it isn't wrong as is. * * * Guess we'll leave it Aziz and give the editors the benefit of the doubt, although they don't deserve any benefits for choosing the nauseat- ing color scheme that adorns the covers. * * * The new directory looks well only when placed beside a hot dog; and after all, one can't keep hot dogs in a bookcase or a telephone booth. * * * We mustn't forget Miss Laugh because it suggests a joke that screams at you right below the next three stars. * * * First Guy: Mike, may I present Miss Laugh? Mike: Glad to meetcha, Miss Gaff. First Guy (in a hoarse whis-. per) Laugh, clown, Laugh! * * * (Space in which to compose your- self). * * * Ted Rickard is to be found in the vicinity of Page two hundred and something. X marks the differ- ence between this frosh and the fight promoter. * * * Getting statistical, the freshman Smiths beat the freshman Jones, 18 to 6. * * * Which brings us down to the bot- tom of the column where there's a white space that has to be filled up somehow. A last hurried glance through the volume reveals Miss Inch, who will fill up the space nicely. * * * Now there's just room enough to remark that -if Miss Inch and thirty-five of her relatives were to stand out in front of Betsy Barbour we could -say that there 'were 36 Inch's in a yard. Should she wait for the choice of her heart. whom they I Music And Drama TONIGHT: Comedy Club present their revival of Sar- dou's "Diplomacy" in the Mimes theater, beginning at 8:15 o'clock. * * * CHAMBER MUSIC Locally there is an organization known as Matinee Musicale. Odd-! ly enough, the name signifies noth- ing of the nature of the society ex- cept that it has something to do with music, andthat in the after- noon. The truth of the matter is that Matinee Musicale is an organ- ization made up in large part of the wives of faculty members, with the purpose of cultivating an in- terest in chamber music. It might more properly be called Soiree Mu- sicale, for the concerts are given in the evening in Mimes theater rath- er than the afternoon, as the title! suggests. It has been the custom to schedule a series of four con-' certs, beginning late in the Fall and running through February, and to present the visiting artists in! Mimes theater-which is very well suited to the purposes of the iti- mate type of music presented-to an audience made up only of those who have supported the organiza- tion to the extent of purchasing tickets for the whole series. The very general public which would create a demand for single admis- sion tickets is not permitted to at- tend. And this, perhaps, may ac- count for the fact that Musicale Matinee audiences are invariably more discriminating, of perhaps better, more critically appreciative, of the programs than is any other collection of people in the city. Of course, chamber music de- mands that sort of audition. Lack- ing the attention demanding ef- fects possible with the symphony orchestra, or the personal exploit- ation of the composer with his hearers. It also is the severest test-because of its simplicity- both for the composer and the musician. Of the composer it de- mands complete technical grasp of the field as well as genius of con- ception; of the artist it demands submergence of individuality in the unity of the whole, as well as per- fect command of his individual in- strument, and of the audience it requires a musical intelligence that postulates an awareness of musical problems a little more profound than some of the acrobatics which have occasionally been offered from the Hill auditorium stage. Scep- ticism in regard to the existence of such critical intelligence is more encouragingly belied in Mimes than anywhere else on the Campus. The calibre of the musicians en- gaged by Matinee Musicale is also an encouraging factor. Artists with more often greater European reputations than American-as was the case last year with the Elshuco Trio-their names have not become so much a byword for musical per- fection that they cannot give their whole selves to the musical de- mands of their program-as was the case with the recent Galli-Cur- ci fiasco. Artistic preeminence does not invariably guarantee sin- cerity of effort. Last year's series was made up of programs offered by the Persinger String Quartet, one of the leading organizations of the Pacific Coast, by the Elshuco Trio, by the De- troit Chamber Music Society, and by the New York String Quartet. This year the series is opened by a combined concert by Le Orstein and the Hartmann String Quartet November 6. Then comes the Jack Gordon String Quartet from Chi- cago to appear the evening of De- cember 12. This will be followed by the Pro Arte quartet from Belguim who will occupy the evening of February 5. And the final date of March 19 will be taken over by the Malkin Trio from New York. R. L. A. * * * POSTSCRIPTS "Diplomacy" was written in the period when what William Archer calls rhetorical "virtuosity" was still in the vogue. Evidence of this can be found in the unusual length of some of the emotional speeches. The purpose here was to provide the actor with resounding vehicle for his beautiful voice. The tradi- tion of clipped speech which holds the stage today rather destroys what was once a beautiful theatric- al effect. The inclusion of such extraneous characters as Algy Fairfax, and his acid tongued mother is an anach- ronism when considered from the point of view of unity and com- pactness which dominates drama- tic writing today. But the Scribean i school was not so severe. The silly- ass, Algy, is a fascinating charac- ter when written-in the way Sar- dou can write. Why then bother about dramatic unity? Such an inclusion is also an in- I dication of the point of view from'I which the play was written. The lines alone are not the essential "Can't go to the game efloor is waxed. Can't dance well when our back's been taxed. Let's have the darn steward use our wealth To buy some Spangles and save our health." "Give the pledges a break!" Spangles are sparkling crys- tal flakes which can be sprinkled on any floor to give a smooth finish for dancing. Easily applied. No waxing, no polishing. Just sprinkle them on. Presto the job is done! Get some now for the next dance. On sale at Calkins-Fletcher Drug Co. 20 MULE TEAM SIDA 6 ~rf You will always be pleased with the style and service of Kinney Shoes.
