Last May the Big Ten faculty committee found Iowa guilty of proselytin~g athletes in violation of Conference rules; and suspended athletic relations with that insti- tution for one year commencing in January, 1930. Last Saturday, with three weeks remaining before the sentence was to go into effect, Iowa asked that the previously adjudged punishment be cancelled on the ground that the school had cleaned house i the interim. After four- teen ;hours. of consideration of the case, the faculty governing body refused reinstatement to the erring member because the degree of re- form, was deemed insufficient. With the latter decision the com- mittee is standing on the same solid, ground as last spring. By its action the board has said, in effect, that "We have4 adopted principles of pure athletics in the form of certain rules. Unless these ideas are to be. considered trivial and un- worthy- of serious enforcement, and this board dedicated to impractical idealism, the regulations must be obeyed. If one institution shows pronounced tendency to. violate them, W ve will suspend it until it shows by its behavior that it would rather belong to the amatetir ath- letic union known as the Western Conference that to a "professionalj circuit." If reinstatement had beeii refus- ed, granting Iowa had cleaned house, it might be argued that the' failure to lift the sentence was too harsh; 'that where the purpose of the punishment had been accom- plished, it was not necessary to go as far as the criminal courts, which hold repentance between crime and punishment to be no excuse. But 'in the case of Iowa there is no need for this more highly intel- lectual treatment. That institution, the board decided after' considering able to read the papers for a week, without finding anly mention of Charles A. Lindbergh.k o0 As the problem of, Christmas presents nears, the pressing need for the average American is an in- ventor who can design a refill for{ emptied pocketbooks. -~0 Ripley says a telegram has been sent around the world in eight minutes.

To The Editor: For many years the musical criti- cism of the Michigan Daily has ,been a public nuisance; this year it has become more than some of us can tolerate in silence. Concern- ing the astonishing review of the admirable Lener Quartet concert flast week it should be obvious that the qualities of this Quartet are ex- actly opposite to those described Iby your critic. Not only is it not a group of virtuosi impelled to "ex- hibitionism" by youth and egotism;- not only" does it not lack finesse, 1fluency and sympathetic under- standing, but on the contrary it is by subtlety, fluency, and a pecu- liar liquid sweetness that it is mrost distinguished. [ In his criticism of the music it- self the writer showed even more remarkable ineptitutde. Ilis Con- mason the Mozart Quartet -might perhaps have been accepted -if re- written so as to become intelligible,; But to compare the fist move-1 iment of the Schubert Quart et --- a work of superb design and passiD n- ate force -- with a grandmother's veil and rosebuds is a mecre irrbe- cility. Had th-e critis ever heard they quartet before?; No one denies to any single per- son the right to hold untutored and wrong-headed opinions; we1 IYour derned old climate can't be beat, j Michigan, my Michigan.
