MUSIC, AND DRAMA
MACBETH
A Review.
"Macbeth" probably has more
complete and immediate power
than any other Shakespearean!
1 tragedy. For it has a simple pat-
tern, a single fiery line. Something
primitive pervading men's minds
has been set forth with wild, pro-
found directness. Theatric conven-
tions of the simplest sort-those of
melodrama-have been used in the
setting forth. They are completely
integrated into the intellectual
pattern of the drama. Each thea-
tric detail subtly defines and in-
tensifies the emotional tone.
It was the merit of last night's
production to have made this so
vividly clear. Unpretentious as it
was-using the bare Elizabethan
platform stage-none of the play's
theatric vitality seemed unrealized
in it. The production particularly

SWEDNESDAY'S"SYMPOSIUM ON
THE WORLD COURT"
To the Editor:
America's entrance into the World
Court may be a vitally important
matter just now in international
diplomatic circles, but the lecture-
symposium, last Wednesday in the
Natural Science auditorium would
never have convinced a person who
had an open mind on the subject
that such a necessity existed. To
begin with, the scheduled speakers
"were unfortunately unable to at-
tend," and the last-minute substi-
tutes wandered far from the sub-
ject at hand. The inefficiencies of
Congress, "lame-duck sessions" and
the oft-repeated aspersions cast
upon the entire student population
for its interest in athletics, received
much more emphasis than the ac-
tual subject of the World Court.
Professor Steiner, substitute num-
ber one, told us that since the sen-
atorial objections to America's join-
ing the court had been eliminated
by a new protocol, it is the moral
duty of the United States to decide
immediately whether or not she
will enter the World Court. He
stated that dilatory tactics on our
part raises the presumption that
the United States Government is
not really interested in preventing
international wars. He went on to
compare the achievements of the'
World Court since its establishment
in 1921 to the achievements of our
federal Supreme Court during the
first ten years of its own existence,
although admitting that this com-
parison was unfair.
Professor Slosson, second substi-
tute, announced that he wished to
speak, not on the World Court, but
on the causes which have thus far
delayed our entrance into this jur-
istic combine. We were then treated
to an adequate excoriation of our
national Congressmen with refer-
ence to America's official expression
on the World Court question. His
concluding remarks advocated the
very dubious expedient of sending
petitions to President Hoover re-
p questing a special session of Con-
gress to decide this issue at once.
A co-ed then prefaced her re-
marks to the assemblage (obvious-
ly made up of people really inter-
ested in the World Court) by flay-
ing the college student's "over-
emphasis" on athletics. She said,
in effect, "Shame on you for at-
tending football and basketball
games and being interested in the
score of your college at interschol-

THE SEAT OF STUDENT
GOVERNMENT'
Student government, never a tre-
niendously powerful factor in col-
lege life, was deftly shown up in,
its pretentious, but vacuous impot-
ency by- recent events following the
liquor raids. As the unpleasantness
surrounding that entire episode in
campus history recedes into the
past, one fact stands out emphati-
cally and unmistakably c 1 e a r:
namely, that the existing organs
of student government were un-]
qualified, as well as unempowered,
to priesent maintain the strictly
student interests involved.
This is not to say that the Sen-
ate committee acted without hear-,
ing student views. In fact, that
committee was most punctilious in
its efforts to make inquiries of stu-
dents. But what is significant is!
the ineffectuality of both the Stu-'
dent council and the Interfrater-
nity council competently to cope
with a situation of extraordinary
proportions. The former precipi-
tated some of its lather into a reso-
lution, stating, in effect, that it
felt the penalities on the houses
were too severe. This was the sum
total of its effort as the self- at-
tested student governing body. The.
Interfraternity body did lit t 1e
more; though a committee has
since been appointed to develop a
closer cooperative system ' among
the houses, leading, in part, to a
greater judiciary power vested -.in
the Interfraternity council.
It is of even more significance,
however, that student opinion and
interests are still sought and rep-
resented, but through entirely dif-
ferent channels than these official-
ly set up for those purposes. For
the most part, student members of
the Senate committee on student
affairs have the only substantial
voice in determining an adminis-
trative attitude toward campus
transgressions.
As pointed out in times past, our
object is not to lament the impot-
ency of the historical and preten-
tious agencies for supporting stu-
dent' interests; but it is acutely
necessary that those agencies, par-
ticularly the Student council, rec-

wins through to° a splendid vision
of fatality. It was surely an inspir-
ed performance.
Miss Hutchinson hardly brought
an equal measure of menace and
Magnificence to her Lady Macbeth.
There was certain lack of technical

their respective roles of the peren-
nial gold digger and the erring re-
porter. Anita Louise as the pulchri-
tudinous daughter screens afore-
said beauty in a manner that augurs
well for future parts. The one song!
