After aonths in the limelight as a cen- er of graft, crime and politics, I- nois has sent the Small-Thomp- on-Crowe machine crashing. hompson still holds forth and still as his America-First slogan, but rowe and Small are definitely out. Lnd so are most of their political llies. Chicago crime, Chicago politics, Ilinos graft, and similar terms ave become as familiar as "Tai- iany and Boss Tweed." Cartoons, .ewspapers, humor publications ave found much satire and much o be deplored in the situation rought about in Illinois by that iachine. It cast a reflection that rill take years to wipe out. The Illinois voters should be roud of the way in which they isregarded party and placed good overnment first. Tried and true iemocrats split ballots and voted or better men on the Republican late. Hoover Republicans voted in everal Democrats who were ap- arently the best suited. Party nes broke, and figures show that ecords were made in the number f split ballots. Without the aid of William Hale hompson, a welll-known patriot- m expert, the Illinois electorate as started well on the trail back a public esteem. Their decisions hould be regarded as a knell, at* ast temporarily, for the combine f Corruption, Crime, and Politics. is a lesson from which many her states and sections may bene- t well. TURNING IN THEIR GRAVES The papers say that Paul White- an and his concert orchestra are play here on November 27. He coming for the Women's League. e will play in Hill auditorium. Is seats go as high as $2.00 each. nd so on. local audiences, that he has. He is a master in his line. The School of Music and other organizations may hold up their hands in holy horror. They probably will. But there are few other organizations or artists that will be as welcome and as enjoyed as Paul Whiteman. RUIN THE FLEET Today, the Varsity team is far from home in an attempt to break a tradition. Michigan has never experienced much luck in winning in the East. Today, with an even chance of beating the Navy, the re- juvenated team will try and break that tradition. If they were required to receive all of the incentive from the sendoff given them at the station Thurs- day afternoon, they will lose by three or four touchdowns. That is a very conservative estimate because very few waved goodbye. But there are several students attending the game and Eastern alumni are ex- pected to swell the ranks. With a cheerleader present, there may be som eincentive for a win, beside the fact that they wish to show that the Illinois win was not luck. A win today would confirm that they have made a successful comeback. In spite of its absence at the sendoff, the entire campus is hop- ing for a win. Few teams will have been watched as closely by radio, gridgraps, and newspaper as this one today. Sink the Navy! And how about meeting that team when it returns Sunday? Campus Opinion Contributors are asked to be brief, confining themselves to less than 300 words it possible. Anonymous com- munications will be disregarded. The names of communicants will, however, be regarded as confidential, upon re- quest. etters published should nut be construed as exressing the editorial opinion of the Daily. SPORTSMANSHIP To the Editor: You are quite right that I mis- quoted you about the "18 years" which should have been "18 hours." Curiously enough, several of my friends misread it too, and asked me who it was that had been 18 years in the department. I am very glad, indeed, that I was wrong. Taking it, as I read it, I was greatly distressed by it. I beg your pardon for the misrepresentation and thank you for calling my attention to the truth. C. H. Van Tyne. NEWSPAPER POLICY To the Editor: I've held in till I'm about to bust, and I'm going to take a few short rib smashers at somebody, even if they don't get in the Campus Opinion Column. Here goes! The night editor of The Daily on election night, pulled one of the most narrow, most assinine (what- ever that is), most prejudiced pieces of journalism that I have had the displeasure of witnessing in many days of newspaper work. I am, at heart a newspaper man, and as such have followed the most glorious game for several years, and as such, hope to con- tinue for several more years. "HOOVER W I N S!""-"Captures New York"-"Crushing Majority in Central States Guarantees Victory." Those were the headlines of The Daily of November 7. That, so far, was good journalism. It was what might be expected, but immediate- ly under this he made The Daily the joke of all jokes, the laughing stock of not only our own campus, but of every school and individual who sees your paper in and out of the state. A three column cut of Al Smith under the caption of "Happy Warrior Vanquished" with "Glorious in Defeat" as the catch, lines under the cut followed by a three column fudge broadcasting the merits of the defeated man- comparing him to Jefferson, Lin- coln and other great men-well, I looked down in a 'buried' hole and found a cut of Hoover in all it's pathetic one column glory, and I nearly busted. It is of no consequence whether' I was a Hoover or Smith man dur- ing the campaign. That is over, and Hoover has been chosen by the people of America to lead for the next four years, so the matter is settled-from that standpoint. The editor, the managing editor, the business manager and every think- ing member of The Daily staff are all ashamed of this breach of the most sacred code to a newspaper man-that of allowing an apparent personal prejudice to sway the 1ATED OLL - CPONTEMPRA4RY CINEMA Professor Jerry Hoag, who has been intimately connected with the University ever since the bigger and better Michigan was in the process of construction, declared yesterday that he was heartily in favor of Professor Van Tyne's stu- dent investigation of the faculty. "I, personally, have nothing to fear," he is quoted as saying, "for my courses in contemporary cinema are among the most popu- lar in the University's curriculm. "Take, for instance, my two eve- ning sections in 163, an advanced course for juniors and seniors with or without 56 hours of credit in the literary college. The two required hour-and-a-half lab per-. iods a week are always so well at- tended that I have had to give up taking roll. "As a matter of fact there have been times when students regularly enrolled in the class have been turned away at the door for want of standing room. I sometimes suspect that fraternity men send freshmen down to occupy their regular seats. "I think that other members of the faculty who are trying to stick around here on the strength of their Scholarship, would do well to come around to my classes once in a while and take a few tips from me. "For instance, iiix un the hu- morous lectures with the serious ones, and just when my students are laughing at one of my peren- nial jokes I slip over some serious, scholarly points about the evils of drink and the power of love. "I am also a disciple of advanced principles in education, and be- lieve in using a good many slides and moton-picture reels. The contention of my school of teach- ing methods that students carry more away from an illustrated class period seems to have been success- fully upheld by my experience.. "Keeping the lights low has other popularizing advantages, too, be- cause it has the effect of emphasiz- ing co-education, which I think is a wonderful thing, and many of my students respond right in the class room to my expositions on the art of making love. This first- hand experience under the tutelage of the world's greatest masters of the art will prove of tremendous value to my students when they get out from under the protecting roof of their alma mater. "Despite the fact that I don't give marks and that my course doesn't count toward a diploma, I find that many University students bolt other courses in order to do extra work with me. On some oc- casions when the collegiate quest for knowledge is raised to its high- est pitch by a Big Ten champion- ship, I have had to seek the co- operation of my friend Thomas O'Brien and his sturdy blue-coats to keep mobs of students from rushing my classrooms. "The only outside reading I re- quire of my students can be ac- complished while walking to class, and for the evening sections it can only be done when illuminated. (The reading has to be illuminated, not the students.) "In common with the rest of thet faculty, I have occasional run-ins with President Little, but I have adopted the personal conference method of settling them instead of writing letters to The Daily. The president threatened to investigate me a couple years agowhen some one got hit by a tear bomb outside my class room, but we straightened out the difficulty amicably. "The President didn't like my charging fifty cents admittance to my classes in an attempt to eke out my miserable pittance from the University, so I agreed not to col- lect anything when enough stu- dents began to look like they weren't going to pay it anyway. "I think the faculty owes Pro- fessor Van Tyne a vote of thanks for putting this student investiga- tion on its feet--in really arousing campus opinion and getting the local instructors behind the plan. Somebody who knows the ropes had to point out to the younger men on the faculty how tremen- dously precarious such an investi- gation would make their jobs, or they might not have taken any in- terest in seeing it go through." LT.T HOROWITZ AND KOLAR The arrival of Vladimir Horo- witz as piano soloist with the De- troit Symphony Orchestra presents one of the most interesting musi- cal diversions which Ann Arbor: may find for itself in the course of a number of years. The rather unfortunate eventu- alities incidental to the Ponselle and Galli-Curci programs, which seemed bent on destroying the School of Music ideal of a series of all-star programs in celebration of their Semi-Centennial, will sure-! ly be redeemed Monday night by the combined efforts of the Detroit organization and Horowitz. The Detroit Symphony has al- ways been a strong favorite with Ann Arbor audiences. And this is said in no fulsome way. Local ap- preciation, no matter how super- latively exuberant, has always been sincere-and properly so. Under the baton of Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the Symphony has been one of the hardest working and most carefully trained in the country. With the veteran Conductor taking a leave of absence this year-still to study music abroad, however-the task of interpretation falls to the shoulders of Victor Kolar. By no means a: neophyte, this pupil has already proven his ability to control and draw music from the men under his baton, and his coming concert will only present him in greater confidence in his powers. Horowitz however, is an unknown quantity-which is not to say that his abilities are unknown. He has drawn almost unanimous critical approval wherever he has appeared. But local audiences have the pleas- ure of anticipating an entirely new thrill in his music, and the extent of that excitement is still problem- atic. Horowitz was born in Kiev, Rus- sia, twenty-three years ago. His father was a mining engineer, his mother was an accomplished musician. It was she who gave him his first lessons, at the age of six. But the role of child prodigy was, fortunately, denied him. His parents put their faith in. sane training, rather than forced devel- opment. At thirteen, he entered the Conservatory to study under Felix Blumenfeld, pupil of Rubin- stein. Four years and he graduated with honors. At Kharkov his uncle, music critic of the town, ar- ranged his Russian debut. It was a decided success. From that, Horowitz toured Russia with im- mense critical praise on all sides, until in 1923 he invaded Europe, again with success, and so came to this country. An evidence of the appreciation, almost idolatry, he claims from the Russians is to be found in his success at Petrograd where, in the season 1922-23, he played 23 con-: certs to completely sold-out houses holding three thousand each night, at a time when the Revolution stricken people were doing without the necessaries of life. R. L.A. * * * "THE LITTLE JOURNEY" Reviewed by R. Leslie Askren Play Production's success with "The Little Journey" leads one to wonder if, after all, it wouldn't be just as well if college students stuck to the light stuff they can do well with capable direction. Such 'a course would certainly not advance the art of the theater, but then- local audiences do not seem to care much about the art of anything anyhow. The result would certain- ly be amusing, and splendid box of- fice, which is by way of being an art in itself. Experimental results of the pro- duction must prove very gratifying to Director Windt. The Crothers opus provides mar velous character parts, and an occasional dramatic scene to test emotional capacities. From the critical point of view, the character results were more satis- fying than the dramatic. Edna Mower's characterization of Grand- ma Bay was the hit of the evening. Occasionally a strict director might have hit her oer the head for breaking up a scene with unneces- sary business, but then, she could put it over. The criterion of suc- cess is success, in the theater, i paradoxically enough. Granddaugh- ter Lily was really splendid as the corn-fed maiden, sister under the skin to Charles Holden, the hick who came to town, and who equal- led her in fidelity of performance, Shirley King has decided talents, Dealer in {- ANTIQUES Upholstering, Furniture Repairing, Refinishing and Remodeling 218 East Huron Street Ann Arbor - - - - - Michigan Phone 3432 --=MMUMMAtIM . e.
