SLOSS SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1930. Obviously President Hutchins has in mind nothing mote or less than the "University college," which has just been indefinitely postponed at Michigan. We believe that his es- pousal of the project is a further proof of his clear thinking along pedagogical lines and of his ad- ministrative vigor. It seems to : augur an administration refresh- ingly free from the grooved and hidebound traditions of an out- grown past and capable of making distinctive contributions to the sci- ence of higher education. Especially we wish him success in the development of what he terms the "collegiate division," for if it proves efficacious in eradicat- ing the shortcomings of the literary college at Chicago, it will stimulate similar reorganization here. Our faculty seems temporarily bedevil- led by a conservatism that has killed progress through its intent- ness on resisting change, and blind- ed itself to the bad in its palpitat- ing anxiety to preserve the good. In this condition Michigan has lost the power of creating such a brain- child as the University college full- fledged, and must copy from abroad. STILL A PUZZLE. Eight of the twelve months now completed by the Hoover regime have been spent by the Senate in debating the tariff bill, and the ultimate result is still as much a puzzle as ever. The eight months have served only to expose a lack of political leadership over the up- per house. The tariff measure was intended by the administration to aid only he' farmers, but the House and Senate finance committees boosted all the rates. However, in the Sen- ate proper the bill was seized upon by the coalition of Democrats and Republican insurgents and, inde- pendents for a general downward revision that is now in progress. The coalition is held together by common enemies: Hoover and high tariff, all of which is exceedingly paradoxical since Hoover himself does not want high tariff. Thus the coalition is saving him from the dilemma of having either to offend the high-protection wing of his party by vetoing a high-tariff bill or to refute his campaign promise of limited tariff revision. Hoover may not have the oppor- tunity to accept the coalition mea- sure, however, for the Democrats, not wishing to aid him, may turn and defeat the bill, or else, and this is more likely, n the House-Senate committee conference the solidity o f the House delegation may force the rates up again. Yet the pos- sibility of a relatively low-tariff bill's passing both the Congress and the President is large enough to cause worry among the Old Guard Republicans, who built the party out of "protecting" American in- dustries (though they are the most advanced and stable in the world) and collecting campaign funds. If the party is to retain its potency it must continue to "protect" indus- try, so the Hoover decision on the tariff matter is quite significant. Hoover's choice here, as on other matters, will not be based on party interests but on what he himself thinks best. That is his nature, but the result is the antagonizing of all groups in the Senate, but one. That one is the collection of 30-odd Senators who believe only in echoing the White House and who have but slight power. The President must unify enough groups to form a majority before he can have his projects enacted. but he was never a strictly party man and so cannot be a real party leader. His supporters believe that the approaching Congressional elections will benefit him by re- turning men more acquiscent to his views, but history shows that in elections Republican Congress- men usually unite and bamboozle !he country into 'sending them back. Thereupon they split again unless some political leader arises. Hoover niust either drop some of his ideals in favor of party unity or else continue to find his way blocked by the stampeding of an- tagonized groups in the Senate. - -o And now that spring is about here, we note the first double play of the season-Tardieu to Chau- temps to Tardieu. MUMPS AND M4EASLES. nm If the rumored epidemic of mumps and measls continues to rage through. the cast of the Junior Girls' play it won't be long before "State Street" will have to be called "The Alley," with an all-star solo- ist. * * * And before I get off the subject state that V-- B. W-, local director, has at last decided to in- feet Play Production with Shake- speare-or perhaps it's the other way around. According to all re- ports Director W had a pretty awful time trying to decide what to do, but finally made up his mind to do "The Merchant of Romeo and Juliet." * * * The Rolls Photograph Pherret was on the job constantly through- out the ordeal and got this unusual snapshot just two minutes before the final decision. * *\* Photograph Pherret, by the way, is the correct name for the Rolls Pictorial Service representative. Yesterday he was called the .Photo- graph Pherrit, and a proof reader tried to make it "Ferret." Maybe we'll get it right some day. * * * I have, as I hinted, discovered the identity of the lady who lost the close-fitting hat. She was the winner of Ann Arbor's Popularity contest held last August and the hat was one of the many prizes she received. I find that it was not raspberry in color but black and shaped, sewed and pasted to order just for her. And cost tuh-WENTY five BUCKS! * * * An observer tells me she was seen peeking in the rubbish box in front of the Union yesterday, hop- ing that the hat might be reposing there. Too bad I didn't see her in time to tell her I saw nothing of it while searching for United Cigar coupons early yesterday morning. * * * There is no spy system on campus, states a letter in CAMPUS OPIN- ION. In that case I am very much 1 grieved that such an accusation was made. It must have been a lit- tle bird that caused all the trouble. Nasty old birdie. * * * The advance notices of the Pen- ny Carnival seem to indicate a swell time for all those who are pennywise. Among other things it seems you'll be able to get a mani- cure for a cent. The story did not say, however, whether the entire manicure would be a cent or whether it would be charged for on the digit system, in which case it would cost a dime and ruin the budget I've worked out. * * * The admission fee will be a cent, so you'd better take an extra nickel along to preclude any chance of getting into a financial jam. *.'j THAT'S GOOD. Dear Joe: I stood on the Library seal for one minute this morning 'and during that time not a soul stepped on it. Isn't that encourag- ing ? Arelius Zip. * * * Music And Drama TONIGHT: In the Mendelssohn Theatre, beginning promptly ati 8:15, Play Production's last per- formance of The Showoff by Gearge Kelly. THE SHOWOFF. A Review by William J. Gorman "The great American comedy" bumps along pleasantly enough with itsfive-minute alternations of drama and vaudeville to its amaz- ingly preposterous ending. Kelly's rather cautious ear for certain speech cliches in his two main cre- ations gains him the intellectual confidence of his audience early in the play. Everyone then assumes, (with the remarkable susceptibil- ity induced by the heat of the playhouse) that Kelly is a great: observer, a real student of human nature. The result is continuous laughter, too enthusiastic and cer- tainly uncritical. But there is no fighting a play that has made the stock route for five years and sur- vived two movies. It has won its battles: thousands of people will testify: but it's so amusing. But one would like to insist that it is not the type of victor Play Pro- duction, however horrible its finan- cial misery, should be presenting. It is presented quite well though. Harry Allen, as Aubrey Piper, thrusting his blatant mediocrity on long-suffering relatives, dotting every five words with a raucous, barber-shop laugh, is quite success- ful. He has pushed himself into the part, with its demand as to body poses, loud unpleasannt voice, and brave, dominating stage presence quite cOmpletely. He also manages to shade the bombastic bumptious- Iness with the proper degree of pa- thos: pathos that God should have granted him as a character such reverberating incapacity. Mildred Todd, however, just about sweeps the show. She has an extremely intelligent (or it may be intuitive) capacity for activity, for doing things on the stage, for moving. She is mature in this play. There is never a dangling hand, groping vaguely for someth- ing natural to do. She has a whole body in the show. To all appear- ance she is completely absorbed. in the part. Her vocal reading of the long script the part of Mrs. Fisher gives her is almost invariably suc- cessful too. She is really grand as the aged woman who has a per- verse, unsentimental backdoor way of being the tender mother, and a unswerving solution for all life's problems. There may be an objec- tion that Miss Todd burlesques the part. Of course, she does. But the objection hardly holds, for the part is obviously over-written, consist- ing of nothing but a long string of variations on: "Every sweater I start I swear will be the last one" and "I knew it, that rattlebrain could never, etc.' Miss Todd has had in the past rather a marked tendency in all her character work to- punh it off into burlesque be- cause :desiring to realize all the amusement possibilities of the parts. Here it was exactly the thing t do and the role is one of the best things done on the cam- pus this year. Dora Vandenburg is quite ade- quate as Clare, who smooths all the tangles of Piper's prevarications, and cl ngs to her bitter tragedy of an unloved wife. Helen Workman's woi-k is still unsatisfactory becausej - she gains expression in her voice not by nuances of quality but solelyI by quantity. ---o THE MUSIC MASTER. Beginning next Tuesday night, the Detroit Civic Theatre is reviv- ing the old Belasco success built around the life of Anton von Bu- low, with the title role being taken by Walter 'Sherwin, The kindly German musician was quite thel favorite of the older playgoer; his reception by a younger generation hardly familiar or sympathetic with the unostentatious, sentimen- tal gaiety of the older Bohemian life will be more questionable. The play is an episodic chopping of the life of Von Bulow: his strug- gle to keep his musical ideals even when Bricklayer's Union calls a sympathetic strike of the Musici-' an's Union because a certain mu- sic-hall is to be built with non-un- ion bricks: his sentimental delight in the humorous love-affair of Poons, the young German violinist quite completely in love with the, TYPEWRIT.ERS RI1BBONS SU PPLIES for all makes of Typewriters.

His objec tions are chiefly to the emphasis on hoirs credit instead of mental capacity, and to the lock-step sys- tem of instruction whereby the bright and dull are both carried along in the same classroom. It will be noticed that these are substan- tially the objections voiced by The Daily to Michigan's literary col- lege. President Hutchins also recog- nizes the fundamental pedagogical axiom that a student learns more from solving an academic problem on his own initiative than from constant classroom goading, and he emphasizesathe corollary of this axiom, that a student will find keener stimulation in a thorough investigation of one subject than in the acquisition of a lot of smat- tering knowledge. As soon as a freshman or sophomore has' dem- onstrated his right to advancement by his "reaction to the university's opportunities and his own quali- fications for advanced work," Pres- ident Hutchins believes "he should begin the study of some division of knowledge of particular interest to him and with which he is qualified to deal." In his special field the student should have a minimum of instruction and put forth a maximum of independent effort. Most interesting in view of the local situation is the way in which President Hutchins proposes to ac- complish these several desiderata. He would split Chicago university into three divisions: the collegiate for general orientation, the univer- sity division for specalized work, and the graduate school for sub- stantially its present purpose. The business of the first division would be to start the student on his edu- cation chiefly by giving him en FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH On East Huron, west of State Rev. R.
