don their Festival, one of the four
or five biggest in the country. A
consideration of some of the causes
for their decision might be a good
antidote for the people on this
campus inclined to accept the con-
tinual quality and success of the
l local Festival with brutal calmness
and an acquiescing sigh.
A large deficit was entailed last
year in Springfield because of the
sudden exhorbitant demands made
by the artists-demands made quite
plausible and perfectly natural
when referred to their radio con-
tracts under the auspices of Stan-
dard Oil or Listerine Companies.
The facility with which radio sta-
tions let handfuls of thousand dol-
lar bills flutter'into the fingers of
the big artist for a few minutes of
performance (still incomprehen-
sible to most of us), is making seri-
ous and valuable musical coordina-
tion (such as a Festival represents)
increasingly difficult. And the
Springfield Festival, in a city with
'a population of 200,000, is the first
to show the effects.
Springfield has announced a pos-
sible renewing of its Festival in,
1931 by enlisting the support of
"the Chamber of Commerce, ser-
vice clubs, women's clubs and simi-
f lar organizations which are to
thrash out the problems of pro-
gram building, etc., before next
year"-a deplorable solution to say
the least.
The moral of that story might
be: let Ann Arbor and vicinity be
not too contented with the ap-
parent security of the May Festi-

"BIG BUSINESS" METHODS.
The reorganization of the Uni-
versity administration on the cor-
poration plan with the creation of
two vice-presidencies and the abo-
lition of ,two offices which had out-
lived their usefulness marks what
may develop into an era of pro-
gressive change. The University is
a "big business" in every sense of
the word and must necessarily be
run on the big business plan of
greater specialization.
More than 10,000 students and
property amounting to millions of
dollars must, be administered by
the University, ,a task which is
many times more difficult to per-
form than is the management of
most businesses and which requires
the coordination and cooperation
of a multitude of departments with
widely varying interests.
It is evidently impossible to ex-
pect this huge organization to run
itself. For that reason a large staff'
of technicians is employed to keep
records, carry on correspondence,
and perform the other minutiae of
administration. Upon the presi-
dent and the two new vice-pesi-
dents will devolve the work of di-
rection.
This specialization will greatly
increase the efficiency of the Uni-
versity administration and is high-
ly desirable from every standpoint.
If this program of reorganization
is carried out in regard to other
branches of the University by
changing the curricula to make it
more valuable to the student, the
worth of this policy cannot be
doubted.

GOALS ACHIEVED.
- The banqueters at the Barbour
scholarship committee dinner the
other night heard a story told by
one of the 1929-30 Barbour fellows,
Dr. Me-Ung Ting, Grad., which
gave them all a vivid conception of
the great purpose which has been
adequately assayed by the founda-
tion of the scholarships.
In 1914, Dr. Ting told the adi-
