EMOVE A RECENT PREJUDICE Is understood that negotiations r now pending to introduce the tudy of the German language into te curriculum of the University gh school. As a model high school, established by the Univer- sity to give other secondary schOols throughout the state an example upon which to base their administration and curricula, it is high time that it. includes this im- portant language among those sub- jects taught. Since the close of the World War 12 years ago, all the better high schools of the country and state have reinstated German in their courses. The high schools of Grand Rapids were the most re- cent converts among the larger high schools of Michigan. Aside from the utilitarian pur- poses of studying German for con- versation, or to work off the pre- requisite for higher academic 'de- grees, are the commercial and dip- lomatic objects. Germany is once again forging ahead in the welter, of the world's affairs and so it will have attained the position that it held before the Great War. It will; be ; indispensable to all business' men who look to foreign marts. And by no, means the least con-. Sideration is the fact that once again the language of Heine, Schil-. ler, Lessing, and Goethe will have been made available to the cul-. tural advantage the youngest gen- eration, HUMANITARIAN SCIENCE. One manifestation of Dr. Rob- ert A. Millikan's credo for modern science, contained in the maxim that science can justify itself only1 insofar as it aids in the general welfare of the world, is the recent, decision of the Regents to cooper- ate with the National Research council and a group of other uni- versities in their search for harm- less substitutes for the terrible medicinal qualities of a narcotic but it would lack those vicious increments which force men and women into pitiful fights with themselves. The successful ameli- oration of this social ailment would be an inestimable factor in the scientific efforts of the modern world to make itself a better place in which to live.

Broke in the golf season with a bang yesterday. I shot a 58-no; never mind the brick. I wouldn't spring such an old gag. It was for nine holes. * *~ * A lady in front of me took nine l putts. Then she put the ball down: where it had landed and took a practice shot, holing out in one. "Oh, dear," she said to her com-1 panion, "can't I use that one? It's so much better." * * * The girls rode past the course on horseback. It ought to be pro- hibited. It's an artificial method of locomotion. A horse may be a liv- ing animal but like an automobile it has no soul. If you don't believe me, try riding one. * * * One of the riders was tearing along at a fearful rate. The other one lookedas though she wished she were home too. I was surprised to hear a lot of profanity on the course. I didn't know that the modern dramatists had taken up golf so generally.

NEW VICTOR REORDS. RAVEL Bolero: by Serg Kous- sevitsky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra: with Gymnopedie by' Erik Satie on the extra side: Rec- ords No. 7251 and 7252. Because he has been vigorously1 sponsoring Ravel's excitingly mon- otonous work all season, playing it twice in Boston and twice in New York, Koussevitsky was chosen to j do the recording for Victor. It is! a safe assumption too that he plays it more interestingly than any other orchestra in the country. The work requires superb solo in- struments in the wind section - a qualification which the Boston or- chestra has notably filled for some years. Koussevitsky manages the slow, cumulative evolution into the tre- mendous sonority of the last record with sublety, cleverly suggesting at BIG MAY SALEl 20% DISCOUNT ON FRATERNITY JEWELRY Burr, Patterson & Auld 603 Church Wi. ....................

The Re-, Headline in Sunday's Daily: "De-C gents are either (1) misinformed, ferred Rushing to be Discontinu- or (2) motivated in their action by ed." Now if it had said "Deferred private interests or influenced in a Rushing to be Ignored" -- that manner entirely unworthy of the would have been news. high position of trust they occupy. 1 * : Before going further it is best to have it understood on statement of high authority that the matter was submitted to the Regents rather as a matter of courtesy than as one of right. This being the case, they were not justified in tak- ing the arbitrary action that they did in the absence of grave abuse or utterly mistaken policy on the part of those instigating the inno- vation. We do not believe that either of these factors exist. The' matter has been thoroughly and carefully gone into by a committee the competency of which no one can question. Much time has been! spent in research, planning and in- vestigation. The proposition is in no way hastily conceived or ill considered. Michigan is the only state university in the Big Ten without a cooperative bookstore ofI some sort. These various stores are shown to be for the most part con- ducted efficiently and at a sub- stantial saving to students. _ Certainly living expenses are .high enough in Ann Arbor (among the highest in the United States4 some statistics show), and any worthy, tried and sound project .which will lower student expenses is to be commended and encourag- ed rather than stamped out with a gesture. That the proposed bookstore con- travenes an element of policy is shown by the fact that the Union conducts a barber shop, a billiard room, a bowling alley, a candy counter, soda fountain, cafeterial and dining room, all of which may be said to enter somewhat into competition with local merchants.{ Why then, we ask, the discrimina- tion in, this particular instance? It is known that a leading local book merchant was in conference with a power at the Union less than 15, minutes after the initial committeel .had approved of this project. What he did after that is a matter of1 conjecture. Suffice it then when an individual or group of individuals attempt to make his or their inter- ests paramount to those of 10,000 students, someone is riding for a fall! If it is the attitude of 'the Re- gents that the University exists for the benefit of the local merchants. then the Regents are mistaken. In this particular instance, student opinion -is rising on all sides and will ultimately force a fair decision. It is to be hoped that such will be accomplished with minimum fric- tion to all concerned, but let it be clearly understood that the stu- dents resent the implication of Another headline: "Fewer Con- flicts Seen in Progress for Examin- ation." Tsk, tsk! Too bad. In the rest of the head it says that the political science examination will{ be held because of an error. My, my; I think I'll take that course next year, just in the hope that there will be no more mistakes. * * * The Michigan advertises a show with a million laughs. Counting a half minute for each laugh that would take about 8,333 minutes or approximately one year. Let's go, Sandy. That show would man a life time. last an English- X.

Rolls column and when the astutel editors read it, they'll die of shame. Thereis a rumor afloat that the Paris and the Greene Cleaners are about to merge. How appropriatel Paris-Greene would be for this time of year. * * * Speaking about this time of year, I've noticed that certain students in the Music School are brushing up on a few of the recent song hits, notably "My Fate is in Your Hands" and "Oh, How Was I to Know?" No doubt they are getting ready for finals. The 'Ensian is scheduled to ap- pear tomorrow and we'll be able to try our cuss words on the photogra- phers who made our pictures look so bad. (I was going to use a more satisfying word but I don't know whether you spell it with an S or a Z.) * * * Well, there's one consolation for hot weather-it makes the arbore- tum a pleasant place. The arbore- tum-for those who haven't heard of it-is a splendid place to study (astronomy). Of course, it's awful dark there, so watch those future shadows if you want to be lucky.j Another advertisement t h a t seems to be going the rounds is the one that says, "Get More Drive Out of That God Golf Gas." I sup- pose that means less slice to the orange disk. early moments the sonorous possi- bilities of the subject. The actual recording' manages to project the intricate instrumentation with sur- prising clarity, suggesting that al- most nothing is impossible to re- cord now. The Chicago Symphony is play- ing Bolero on the Fourth program of the estival. Written in 1928 for the dancer Ida Rubinstein and performed ;by her in Paris,. the work :has, been variously consider- ed by critics to be everything from an extremely amusing bon mot to the epic o m of dullness. Ravel's ! previous experiments with Spanish music have been frequent, notably among them the Rhapsodie Espag- nole. Indeed most of the compos- ers of the French and Russian school1&av& flirted with the colors and rhythms Spain affords. This time, writing for a dancer, IRavel has-done carefully what has lwayshas dnedone romantically, diffusely. Paradoxically enough, the Bolero might be celled a study in monotonyi 'Whih Ravel has managed to exploit and exhaust his considerable talent for orches- tration. Choosing.a simple, ordin- ary, unornate bolero, and placing it over an intricate fascinating rhythmic figure, Ravel merely re- peats this snall section again and again with' slight variation in in- strumentation and a gradual grow- ing into sonoroty. By. sheer force of repetition, this music creates the illusion of inevitability-of music we all must have heard in a pre- vious life{miniSpain. It is a clever piece of music, if nothing more. BEETHOVEN: S o n a t a in. A (Kreutzer), Op. 47: played by Al- fred Cortot and Jacques Thibaud: Victor Masterpiece Series No. 72. This set, a foreign importation, is distinctly a valuable duplication -that is, an immense improvement over the recording of the Kreutzer Sonata done years ago for Victor by Isolde Menges and Arthur De- Greef. eAneindication of the talent need- ed for performance of this work might be gained from Beethoven's own words about it: "It is written in a very concertante style, as if it were a concerto." Cortot and Thi- baud, by inference, would seem to meet the demands; they are both solo artists of considerable dis- tinctions and in addition have been intimately associated for years. They have equal powers and mutual sensitiveness. The result is a fine interpretation. They have fine feeling for the healthy vigour and self-assertiveness of the early Beethoven attitudes; but by re- straint they manage to minimize the virtuosic appeal. Cortot's years of Chopin-playing has given him the pianistic wisdom that makes his instrument as sensitive as Thi- baud's violin: Miscellaneous Records: Vladimir Horowitz, by now something of a legend, makes a small record (no. 1455) of the Doh- nanyi Cappricio in F Minor, which he played in his program here as an encore. He doesn't worry about the musical values of this small piece, definitely making it an at- tractive show-piece; the result is an astounding fusion of brilliance and perfect clarity.
