Schemm Sherwood Upton Marie Wellstead Yeagley WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1928 Night Editor-GEORGE C. TILLEY THE BURTON CAMPANILE Following the appointment of an organization committee, plans for securing the funds necessary to purchase the carillons for the Bur- ton Memorial Campanile are ex- pected to go forward rapidly during the next few weeks. The organiza- tion committee was named from members of the classes '21 to '28, inclusive. These are the classes which were members of the Uni- versity during some portion of the time that Marion LeRoy Burton was president. The Burton memor- ial proper is to be erected by the University of Michigan club of Ann Arbor, Fifty-three bells, costing between sixty and eighty thousand dollars, will compose the carillon. As an inducement to other classes to par- ticipate in the campaign for funds, recognition will be given to all in suitable inscriptions which will be cast on each bell. The Burton Memorial Campanile has as its purpose the erecting of a fitting tribute upon the campus to the man who in four short but difficult years as president of the University was responsible for an extended and comprehensive build- ing program to say nothing of sig- nificant accomplishments in the field of his administrative and academic duties. The fine spirit in which the var- ious groups have made plans to assist in the realization of this memorial is indeed worthy of rec- ognition. It is unfortunate, of course, that three and a half years should have passed since Dr. Bur- ton's death with the plan still little more than definitely formulated. As now outlined, however, the project is an excellent one. The present chimes and the building which houses them are at best un- sightly and need to be replaced. A new building will lend an air of distinction to the campus that would be a credit to any University. That it can be recognized as a memorial to one of Michigan's most outstanding presidents is especially to be commended. 1 C' mai { Mrirn Daily concerning the so-called spy system over the instructors of the University, and I feel called upon to express myself. The professor's main thesis, as I understand it, is that such a system would not be countenanced long by good instruc- tors and, he says, in this connec- tion, that the University would be deprived of all the young men who were "above the high school peda- gouge type-the kind, to use your editorial phrase, 'who prefer work with student personalities to recon- dite problems of literary and sci- entific investigation.'" Just what Professor Van Tyne had in mind when he visions the high school pedagouge type, I do not know, but I am afraid that his opinion of the high school teacher is not so com- plimentary as my old uncle's opin- ion of the college teacher. This uncle was a confectioner. One day he was using language, more ex- pressive than elegant, in condem- nation of one of his workmen. His sister remonstrated with him, and suggested that he hire better men. He looked at her disgustedly and exclaimed, "H--! sister, I can't hire a college professor to pound ice." Perhaps the movement on the part of the student to check up on the faculty has been given im- petus by the fact that they see in their instructors in the University, a sharp contrast to their former high school teachers who not only could develop friendly relations with their pupils, but could also work their students hard, and did feel a responsibility in fitting them for the big game-of life. Knowing boys and girls of college age, I merely hazard this explanation, however. But to get to the main point, much can be said in support of the idea that a. great many students hold but feel diffident about ex- pressing, that there is great room for improvement in the personnel of the teaching staff of the Uni- versity, especially among those who have not yet "arrived." I do not think that the students have pro- posed their scheme just to give themselves the opportunity to "knock" their instructors. The re- port of these students, as I under- stand it, would be only an expres- sion of student opinion, and would not, in any way, be placing any obligation on the head of a depart- ment either to retain or to dismiss an instructor. Some of us think that the head of a departmnent might actually welcome a little more light and a little less hearsay on the question of how well a teacher is "getting things across" to his students-from the students themselves. The plan would not be in the nature of a referendum. The mob would not, be voting, but rather a picked group of serious minded upper class students, who, after all the asperions cast upon them by us, their elders, are about the hardest group of people in the world to fool. I have talked with numbers of college freshmen and sophomores, over a period of ten years, when they have come back to talk over their campus problems, and with scarcely a single exception they have complained of the lack of teaching they have received in one or more of their courses in the Uni- versity. They are not stupid, and they unerringly condemn the young instructor who tries to cover up his lack of preparation, or knowledge, or of experience, either by the assignment of impossible tasks, or by a system of grading that pre- cludes any mark higher than a "C,"' or even what they call "hot-airing." Professor Van Tyne may be en- tirely right in declaring that the instructors' resentment to such ac- tion will defeat the purpose of the scheme, but many of us are with the students in thinking that some searching reform that looks to- ward the improvement of the in- struction in at least the first years of the University is necessary.

A High School Teacher. * * * AN EXPLANATION To the Editor: We wish to announce to our public, lest they think otherwise as a result of reading yesterday morning's column, that Rolls is all for Smith. The poem which ap- peared yesterday came from our hands chaste and untainted with the vile interspersions of "Hoover for President" lines. Some over- zealous Hoover enthusiasts inserted the lines and the captions over the ROLLS .THE GREAT ALFRED When American balloted yesterday To choose between Hoover and Smith, We hope they showed enough good sense To explode the Republican myth. * * ,* For good Republicans think, you know, That God, with infinite charity, Moved on the earth and made their machine To consecrate prosperity. And pot-bellied barons of bigger business, Bloated with fortunes gigantic, Squeezed on their graft by Democracy Shout that we're gripped by a panic. REPUBLICANS CONTINUE' SEARCH FOR HOOVER Music And Drama PLAY PRODUCTION EXPERIMENTS Play Production's announcement of Rachel Crothers' "The Little Journey" should be accompanied by a notice to the general effect that this play is in the nature of a lab- oratory experiment. It represents! Director Windt's quest through the enrollment of his classes to dis- cover and identify the types of dra-, matic ability to be found there, and the mounting of the play is evi- dence of the ability of students in= the technical classes when work-' ing under the handicaps of depart-: mental poverty. One of the immediate features of the production is the immense improvement in the general ap- pearance of University Hall Audi-j torium. Once God's gift to the world of Victorian forensics, it isI at present one of those ghastly ana- chronisms whiph survive as mem- orials to State Legislatures and such things. But the improve- ments, although of a typically stagey character, are an immense improvement, and with the already promised -accessories of incident-' music and floral decorations should provide quite a pleasant surround- ing for the Thursday and Friday night performances.

A. * * * "PARIS BOUND" Beginning Sunday night of next week the Cass Theater offers Philip Barry's New York success "Paris Bound." Madge Kennedy will head the or- iginal New York cast which Arthur Hopkins is sending, and the talents, of this diminutive star should make the Barry piece of highly moral fooling very entertaining for Detroit audiences. The story revolves about the love of a young married couple. Life goes on the rocks when "hubby" becomes indis- creet, and the poor little wife goes into great emotional excitement. The only difficulty is that the tra- vail of soul which the wife suffers leads her, more or less in pursuit of an antidote while on her way to Paris divorce courts, to succumb to a similar peccadillo-ergo, she really can't blame poor Jim. Men seem to have been born unfaithful anyhow. Out of this theme Philip Barry, who is remembered locally for the production of his Harvard Prize Play, "You And I," has woven a very bright little comedy of situa- tion and character, carried along speedily and brilliantly by his power for writing amusing dia- logue. The New York success of the play needs no reiteration here. The Music Box Theater housed it, and Arthur Hopkins' production is as sympathetic and understanding as a producer whose success this year is measured by "Machinal" can be. The supporting cast for Miss Kennedy includes Donn Cook, Ed- ward Fielding, Herbert Yost and and others of distinction. R. L. A. HARTMANN-SCIONTI CONCERT Reviewed by R.

And Hoover, pudgy, sleek, Under the auspices of Matinee Musicale The Hartmann Quartet, assisted by Silvio Scionti at the piano, played their way through a program of varied difficulty com-; prising Beethoven's Quartet in B Flat Major, Opus 18, the Debussy Quartet in G Minor, Opus 10, and Schumann's Quintet in E Flat Major, Opus 44 to provide an evening of very interesting and at times very finished chamber music. The Beethoven selection offered - considerable difficulty to the play- ers who found it hard to warm up into a realization of the demands of the score until, in the Adagio and final Allegretto movements, the capabilities of Beditzky on the 'cello asserted themselves to pro- vide a well rounded finale. In the Debussy number, where the demands for tone color and rhythmic interpretation were in- sistent the quartet as a whole dis- tinguished itself, with the minor exception of Mr. Hartmann him-! self, although the second movement with a broken pizzicatohrhythmI proved too much for the entire group. Hartmann's difficulty seemed to be with a general disin- terestedness. His tone was notably weak except in solo passages which forced him to more determined ef- E I, jil1 1 LECT ION RETURNS YOU MAY OBTAIN THE ELECTION RESULTS FROM YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER HERE, NEWS- PAPERS FROM COAST TO COAST, MORE THAN FORTY OTHER CITIE AND FROM "S.
