demands such as those of the Brit-
ish and French foreign ministers
are firebrands to augment the ever-
glowing spark of suspicion. With
the possibility of preventing an in-
ternational crisis and of redeeming
Germany in the eyes of the nations
of Europe, there can be little choice
for the German foreign office un-
less the agreement cannot be made
public. In that case, the agreement
itself should be foregone, at least
until satisfactory arrangements can
be made for it.

Each year about this time the
campus and especially the frater-
nity houses are swamped with ped-
dlers, magazine salesmen, wood-
carving experts, and men who bar-
gain for old clothes. These individ-
uals find fraternity men an easy
mark for their "bargain rackets,"
for no place on the campus can a
group of individuals be found which
so rapidly yields to temptation.
Fraternity men are by no means
guillible, but they simply lack sales
resistence. There is always that
desire to sell something without
regard for its worth, and a dollar
means nothing when they can learn
a new card trick although the
chances are two to one that they
will not remember it over a week.
Many of the men who make these
professional v i s i t s to fraternity
houses are desirable, although the
majority are nothing less than a
nuisance. From such a varied
group there is always a number
easily tempted to make petty thefts.
These men should not be confused,
however, with ligitimate business
men who are of genuine conveni-
ence to the students. It would not
be an altogether bad idea, to de-
mand that salesmen and the like be
required to show a recognition card,
issued by an organization such as
the Interfraternity council, before
permitting them to enter the fra-
ternity houses.
The campaign has resumed in the
East against cities along the coast
who cast their bread upon the
waters, along with their egg-shells,
watermelon rinds and so forth.-

This may sound to some like a
pretty general statement, but I feel
fairly safe in stating that this isn't
April first because it rarely occurs
twice in one week. It might have
been better if I had just said "To-
day is probably not April First, but
now I have made my statement I'll
stay by it until the last grasp.
ELMER tells me that spring
is really here. One of our fair
sisters told him today that she

They must be fine fellows in-

right out and say anything
about anybody, criticise fear-

hold positions on campus and
won't do the same. Bravery, I
calls it.

But the fine fellows don't ever
sign their names. It must be that
they are too modest to want people
to know who the real public bene-

I'll bet that nobody knew that
they had found a lovely cistern
over whre they're excavating
for the lovely Law Buildin.
They had to wait until every-
body had quit work before they
could tear it up on account of

cistern, which used to be under
the old D. K. E. House, had been
forgotten fcr years.
And speaking of that excavation
business, would anyone like to bet

to get the steam shovel out of

I hope these quotations will not
be mistaken as an attempt at read-
ing program into music. It is not
my purpose and I am certain not
their desire. However, if one has a
feeling for "Ariel, an airy spirit"
one will delight in this Mozart con-
certo. To be able to be aware of, to
conceive of the Ariel, who executes
such an apparently incongruous
thing as a sea wreck, an eager,
complete joy-in-the-process con-
juring of bogey-men and sprites,
and startles, "now on the beak, now
in the waist, the deck, in every
cabin, I flamed amazement," or of
Ariel, "which art but air," sensing
tenderness for "the good old Lord
Gonzalo. His tears run down his
beard, like winter's drops from
eaves of reed," is to have a clear
psychologic insight into this Mo-
zart. It is unfortunate that Shake-
speare hadn't beenna music critic,
at a later age, if only for the pur-
pise of giving us a knowledge of
the unique quality of Mozart's gen-
ius, a verbalization of the particular
nature of his music.
I And certainly this concerto would
make ideal material for any study
of the early and, if I may add, the
essential Mozart. It achieves a
greater unsubtlety of effect and
joy-in-the-process than that nearly
equally delightful "G maor piano
Concerto" played by Dohnanyi. It
is more directly spontaneous. One
may say that this is merely a dif-
ference in the quality of the solo
instrument; that the violin is mere-
ly a more pliant and intimate in-
strument for the performer, and
has little to do with the presenta-
tion of the musical idea. But in the
same breath one would answer,
that because of- this phiancv it he-!

THE NEW "ZOLLVEREIN"
The public announcement a short
time ago of plans for the proposedj
Austro-German customs union has
thrown the whole of Europe into
a state of political turmoil. While,'
on the surface, much of the discus-
sion and argument seems to center
about the right of the League of
Nations by the protocol of 1922 to
investigate the provisions under
which the agreement will be made,
it is probably that the real troublel
is much more deeply graven intoa
the very political structure of thel
Continent.
MEN THINKING
(The Columbia Spectator)
If there is anything in this small
collegiate sphere of ours that leaves
us with the feeling that all is right
with the world and that, after all,
things are not half so bad as they
might be, it is the presence of a
few men on the University Faculty
who are what Ralph Waldo Emer-
son called "men thinking." To hear
one of these thinking men lecture
is a privilege that few are given, for
there are but a handful of instruc-
tors in these times who have grown
in their minds sufficiently to inter-
est the college undergraduate. Too
many instructors there are who
merely serve as mouthpieces for
the thoughts of others, who con-
tinually voice the aspirations of
better men and who regurgitate the
ideals of dead ages. The number of
those who comune with their own
spirits in the sessions of silent
thought is .pitifully small.
It is a regrettable fact that there

This is only natural for the resem-

the powerful force which the first

the building of a power that was
for a time to rival any in Europe.

the near future to a union of a
more political nature and to th
eventual absorption of the dimin-
ished Austrian nation by the Ger-
man government. Any fears of thzi
nature are sufficient to send many
of the Continental leaders scurry-
ing to the cover of their post-War
balance-of-power theories and a-
greements and to urgently request
that the League of Nations, pseudo-
policeman of Europe, should inves-
tigate the entire provisions of the
proposed union.
The opposition of this variety
has come particularly from the
French and British foreign offices
in the persons of Aristide Briand
and Arthur Henderson. Both of
these men have sharply defined
their position and have demanded
that the League should supervise
the agreement. To their demands,
.the German foreign office has re--
mained adamantine. Julius Curtius
has even called a special session of
the Reich in which he defended his
attitude and, although he careful-

lossal shamelessness of the decep-
tion that is being carried on. The
number of those instructors who
are stimulators of thought can be
counted on the fingers of both
hands.
If there were any honesty in most
' of the instructors of Columbia Col-
lege they would have the common
decency to do what writers do when
they quote the thoughts of other
persons. They woud prefix their
statements with courtesy lines. If
this method were carried out there
would appear placards on each door
in Hamilton Hall.
