Pypet NIGHT EDITORS two of the prominent campus fra- ternities, at the moment when com- petition was the keenest, took it into their heads to withdraw from the Council, the others would be, forced to do the same in self-de- fense, and the organization would be in the same situation in which it now finds itself. These events on the Columbia campus augur none too-well for the success of the new rushing system which will be installed next year. But, due to the action of some of the more active members of the Council, a remedy has already been proposed. The approval by the Senate Committee of the revised constitution, which entrusts the largest measure of jurisdiction over fraternities to the Council through its judiciary committee, if accom- panied by compulsory jurisdiction over all general fraternities, may straighten out the present difficul- ties. But only several years under the new experiment can reveal its 'faults and good points to the cam- pus, as it did at Columbia. -- --o Travel is very broadening to a tube of tooth paste laid under a pair of heavy shoes in a grip.

Detroit News. Campus Opinion Contributors aresasked to be brief, confining themsehes to less that. 300 words if possible. Anony mou~s com- munications will be disregarded. The names of communicants. will, however, be regarded as confidential, upon re- quest. Letters published should not be construed as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily. In these times of stress when a great economic war is being raged, the student in universities and col- leges like the laborer in the cities has his economic problems to face. And as in the cities, when the worker is being disregarded by the capitalist, so in the University is the student left to struggle through this economic chaos as best he can. An example which the writer be- lieves to be typical in principle came to his attention recently. I IS NOT THURSDAY It seems that a certain amount of invidious comment was aroused by the fact that I made bold to state in my last issue that today is Thursday, I suppose that the trouble all arose becausepeople kept putting ofI the evil time of having to read the Daily until the last possible moment and thus made a liar out of your perspica- cious Uncle Dan. However, here is my apology and I certainly hope you fellows will be good enough to forget all about it. k * * There was a rather nice headline in yesterday's Daily which I think will bear repeating. It goes like this.... MENDELBAUM WINNERS ANNOUNCED BY SADLER ............Which, not unnatur- ally, brings up the question of what they are going to do with their hard-earned Mendelbaums n o w they have the lovely things. * ... It has been some time since we have had a good old expose of the conditions prevalent a- round Newberry Hall. They are practically the same as at the last report except that about three week's worth of dust has seized the golden opportunity of collecting on my seat which has, unaccountably e n o u g h, been unoccupied of late. * * This fact, however, to the best of anyone's judgment has had no ef- fect on the quantity of dust still left in the atmosphere. Neither is there any sign that ay has be- come displaced from its roosting spots around the ceiling. And furthermore I say that. something has got to be done about it! I don't care if the leg- islature is jealous of the fact that at last after untold effort on the part of many many able men the University is becoming capable of turning out more or less educated people who make the aforesaid legislators look silly. Let them go ahead and cut their nasty old Mill Tax! Let them do away with Mills altogether-whoever he is-but let them only remember this- and you too Mr. Administrator- that the Mills of God grind slow and if you aren't slow nobody ever was. If you thing you can get away with browbeating the members of this enlightened and educated gen- eration, you are'barking up the wrong shin, that's all! I have spoken. It isn't the Heat, it's the up- keep. * * * And while we are slightly off the subject of Newberry Auditorium it might be opportune (mind you, I'm not saying that it is-just an idea, that's all) to bring up the sub- ject of what in the world do they think they are doing with that steam-shovel out in Betsy Barbour's side yard? Suggestions as to its probable uses will be welcomed with our very best waste-basket. Send them along in, fellows, I love it! This is infinitely superior to the Pherrets's idea that it is for the Betsy Barbour Bearded Ladies to throw their- old razor blades into. This, I think, is obviously fallaci- ous.-Isn't it? k :Y- STRANGE INTERLUDE The Theatre Guild's production of Eugene O'Neill's strange drama comes to the Whitney Monday night for a one-night stand. There are difficulties in the production of these nine acts which will almost fatally mitigate against any sort of successful amateur performance. So that this may be the last time in some years that "Strange Inter- lude" will be available for local au- diences. A good deal of the hullabaloo about the form and technique of the play-that is, all the ponderous critical maneuvering about the de- sirability of the soul - revealing asides"- has been thrashed over. And then, too, the possibility of really judging the play is no longer smothered by the passionate yearn- ing for a great American play, which caused it to be seized upon so eager- ly four years ago. So it may really be possible Monday night to get a good perspective on O'Neill's at- tempt. Whatever one thinks about it, the story of a trinity of male units of- fering up all their life-food to pro- vide an emotional banquet for the viciously hungry Nina is tremen- dous; and O'Neill's telling of it is characterised by that impressive honesty which has made him Amer- ica's best dramatist. It is a drama one must not only have read but seen. The performance at the Whit- ney Monday night begins at 5:30 sharp with a dinner intermission between 7:40 and 9; then the play [continues from 9 to 11. THE DETROIT STRING QUARTET The Detroit String Quartet, which has been g a i n i n g considerable prominence for its attention to modern chamber music, will present 1the last of the series of programs sponsored by the Chamber Music Society of Ann Arbor. Their pro- gram, originally s c h e d u1e d for March 30 has been changed to March 25 and will be given in the Mendelssohn Theatre. Half of the program will be de- voted to a first Ann Arbor perform- ance of Schonberg's Sextet for two cellos, two violas, and two violins. The Quartet will be assisted in this composition by two other members of the Detroit Symphony Orches- tra. The other numbers on the pro- gram have not yet been announced. s OSSIP GABRILOWITSCH BROWN CRESS Company, Inc. IN VESTMENT SECURITIES Orders executed on alt ex. changes.

The critics who last year treated Mr. Gabrilowitsch with some hos- tility seem to have agreed that this week he was in a brilliant mood. The only dissenter was Pitts San- born who thought the performance of Strauss' "Don Juan" was "par- ticularly explosive, disjointed, ill- balanced." Olin Downes' remarks had con- siderable interest because they seem to contain a good definition of cer- tain of the more characteristic things of Mr. Gabrilowitsch's baton. Mr. Downes owned to "a sneaking pleasure" in "hearing an interpre- tation of a well-known classic work depart from the established tradi- tion." Mr. Gabrilowitsch, it seems, "worked his will with the Haydn London Symphony No. 2 in D major and if this was treason, the classi- cists must make the most of it." . . Mr. Gabrilowitsch was sometimes a little heavy-handed and opaque in orchestral tone when reading this symphony, but he did not fail to give it vitality, freshness, a pleasing waywardness,nandaemotignal sig- nificance. One can question his tendency at times to sentimental- ize: by and large we found this a stimulating and entertaining per- formance of a delicious symphony." "His reading of Straus' Don Juan was only one of the instances where this conductor, interpreting famil- iar music, did so with the fresh approach of one revealing a score for the first time with heart and soul in the business . . . the patches in the piece disappeared; the fierce devouring fire of a tumultuous and intrepid spirit was in the perform- ance." Mr. Gabrilowitsch performed in addition the symphonic poem "Vivi- ane" of Ernest Chausson, the pre- lude to Moussorgsky's "Khovant- china" and Dukas' "Sorcerer's Ap- prentice." Of the last Mr. Downes said: "Mr. Gabrilowitsch was com- pletely in his element, master of his score and his men, exulting in the extravagant abandon, yet sure- ness, of the prancing, glittering or- chestra.
