WELCOME, IOWA
The University of Michigan
is proud to have Iowa as guests
and as football opponents for
Homecoming today. Although
five years have passed since the
two met ini football, other
sports have kept up the keen
rivalry and the contact. With
the end of the season at hand
and the conditions surround-
ing the meeting especiallyf
tense, the two schools may
look forward to another of the
hard battles' which have be-
como traditional. Homecom-
ing alumni and the student
body may expect a hard game
and feel assured that the uni-
versities will feel a closer bond
at the end of the game. Wel-
come, Hawkeyes!
THE UNDERCLASS SCRAP
The semi-final battle for su-
premacy between the freshmen
and sophomores this morning at
South Ferry field brings forth con-
flicting predictions and wishes in
the hearts of alumni, faculty, and
students. That these class games
which often resemble modified
gang-warfare are beneficial to the
peace of mind of the whole Uni-
versitycannot be disregarded, and
the culmination of suspense over
the winner this morning will be
welcomed.
There is little doubt that the
class of 1932 is one of the "pockiest"
ever to enter the University. Con-
stant complaints have been made
by sophomores and even venerable
juniors and seniors that the latest
crop of hand-picked students has
shown the completest disregard
for Michigan traditions of any in
memory. They have even gloried
in the inability of the sophomores,
their guardians, to do anything
about it.
On the other hand, the soph-
omore class, inflicted with an in-
feriority complex from two succes-
sive defeats last year at the hands
of 1930, has appeared unable to
cope with their traditional op-
ponents. Supposed enforcers of
the traditions of the University
especially in regard to Freshmen,
they have done little.
A sophomore victory this morn- j
paint and will cheer for the under-
dogs. Upperclassmen will stand
aloof and spurn the lower classes.;
The faculty will endeavor to pick
out their students, and be surprised
to see that dumb Smith sitting on
that brilliant Jones. It will be an
enjoyable occasion for everyone
except the losers, and another
famous and treasured Michigan
tradition will have been continued.
Beat 'em up, 1931! Goodluck, 1932!
CABINET MATERIAL !
Serving as advisor to President-
elect Hoover and as representative
of the State department on the
new President's mission of friend-
ship and understanding to Latin-
America, is Henry P. Fletcher,
officially ambassador to Rome, but
also "handy man" for international
service.
Mr. Fletcher is quite capable of
his position. He has had long
residence in various Latin-Ameri-
can countries, has a command of
Spanish, and has made many
friendships for himself and his
country there. He has been promi-
nent in relations between these
countries and the United States,
and has been an outstanding figure
at the last two Pan-American con-
ferences.
Mr. Fletcher's diplomatic service
is not confined to Central-Ameri-
can affairs, however. He has had
experience at many posts through-
out the world. Previously stationed
at Havana, Portugal, and Peking,
he was appointed minister to Chile,
in 1908. Since then he has been
ambassador to that country, to
Mexico, Belguim, and Italy, besides
serving as Under-secretary of the
State.
The fact that immediately after
his election, Mr. Hoover undertook
a "good-will tour" of Central Amer-
ica, means, among other things,
that he believes that a peaceful
settlement of the situation there
is of high Importance to the Uni-
ted States.
Noting the significance of an
immediate Latin-American settle-
ment and the abilities of Mr. Flet-
cher, it would be plausible to
assume that the attendant of Mr.
Hoover will become Secretary of
State in the new President's cabi-
net.
It is three months before the
new cabinet will be announced, but
if the relations of Mr. Hoover and
Mr. Fletcher prove harmonious and
effective on their present voyage
of amity it may be expected'that
the two will continue together, at
the head of the ship of state, as
President and Secretary of State.
EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
Many educational practices fol-
lowed in the schools of the present
day have started from mere guess
work and would probably be un-
able to stand the test of careful in-
vestigation. One institution may
discover an original method for
p resenting a subject and the rest
will follow the same course as a
matter of habit.
The safest and most nearly flaw-
less means of determining a valid
program in education lies in a
series of investigations which will
utilize everything that a large
university can offer. For this pur-
pose two experimental units are to
be built by the University from the
Iappropriation of $1,100,000 made by
the state legislature at its last ses-
sion. One will be for children
from the age of one day to two
years, and the other, for children
from the age of two years until the
time they have completed the first
six years of elementary school.
In the second of these institu-
tions, plans for which are almost
complete now, the research work
will be in the hands of trained,
specialists such as psychologists,
biologists, sociologists; physicians,J
psychiatrists, and others whose
knowledge is intimately connected
with child training.
Great progress in the field of
education is indicated here when
the University has seen fit to con-
struct such a unit not alone for
the purpose of providing children
wittt the best in education, old
and modern, but also for carrying
on experimental research in 'the
most efficient methods and pro-
grams of education. The project
is a worthy one and is deserving of
commendation.

Music And Drama
THE DOLDRUMS IN DETROIT
Theater business in Detroit
seems froi all reports to be going
through a serious spell of the dol-
drums. Patrons are becoming con-
spicous by their absence, and noi-
some by their dullness in respond-
ing. The depression seems gen-
eral. At the Cass, Philip Barry's
very attractive comedy, "Paris
Bound,". played to very poor busi-
ness after the first half of the
first week. "Gang War" attendance,
dropped terribly, and that in spite
of Detroit's obvious craving for the!
melodramatic. "The Grand Street
Follies" are under the additional
handicap of over sophistication.
Detroit classes as a rural commu-;
nity in the type of appeal it re-I
sponds to, and lacks almost entire-
ly the metropolitan flair its size
implies. The Bonstelle, with the
steady patronage of membership,
is more or less breaking even. But
in no case are there figures on
the Hurrah side of the ledger.
Analysis is more or less futile.
Business depression, however, does
not seem to be the answer. The
presidential election has come and
gone and the stock market is still
bullish. Weather, theater weathe,
has been generally good, and no
recent acts of God have occured
to discourage amusements. The
inevitable conclusion, more or less
wrong, is that the new Fox and
Fisher movie palaces have dis-
turbed the balance of an already
movie-mad civic pocketbook-com-
bined, that is, with the vitaphone
novelties of one sort or another
which have packed downtown
houses in spite of very weak film
stories-to confirm even more than
ever the citizenry in their taste for
the flat drama.

THE FLONZALEY STRING
QUARTET
Reviewed by R. Leslie Askren
Appearing for the last time in
Ann Arbor, the Flonzaley String
Quartet played their way success-
fully through a difficult and high-
ly technical program to provide
locale music enthusiasts with one!
of the sincerest artistic efforts in
the Choral Union series so far.
Formed just twenty-five years ago
and credited with the extraordin-
ary record of some 2,000 perform-
ances, this group has long been
the established standard organiza-
tion playing chamber music, and
their performances last night, for
artistic devotion and technical ac-
complishment, splendidly support-
ed their reputation. Of the origi-
nal group, Nicolas Moldavan is the
only newcomer. Their long associ-
ation together was plainly to be
seen in the consistency with which
individual powers were blended
into a well rounded whole, and it
is a tribute to M. Moldavan's sin-
cerity of purpose that he was able
to unite himself with the veteran
players so well as to leave no im-
pression of obtrusive individuality.
An unfortunate handicap which
the Quartet was forced to work
under, was the barren imperson-
ality of Hill auditorium, which is
not at all suited to the intimate
character of chamber music. From
the galleried remoteness of the
hughgshellechoes frequently dis-
turbed some of the more delicate
developments of theme in the Bee-
thoven workwhich initiated the
program, while the richness and
balance of tone seemed frequently
to be unduly scattered through the
body of the hall designed to seat so
large an audience.
These factors inevitably affectedj
the general effect of the program.
The Beethoven number, Quartet in
B flat major, Opus 18, No. 6, was
at best an intricate and highly
technical treatmentof a none too
simple theme. The author pre-
ferred to handle its development
by contrasting arrangements of
the four instruments rather than
to chord them together in a sim-
pler treatment, with the result
that the combinations of tone
were quite blameless. Their tech-
nical grasp of the music was al-
most faultless, and their ensemble
work truly marvelous. Their
tragedy lay in the conditions un-
der which they played.
The Bloch Pastorale, with its
heavier, more unified development
combated these conditions. And
I this was true also of the Schubert
Quartet in G major, Opus 161.
Here the emotional element en-
tered into a certain extent, requir-
ing stronger tone color and more
chording of the instruments. The
