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. 4 ii . -- -- -- UAND DRS THIS ISN'T APRIL FIRST 1fOZART A MAJOR CONCERTO: EITHER Y-, Played by Jasenh Wolfsthal and P EN S A N D Va P E N C I L S All makes and all prices A Red Arrow Place O.

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.

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 it might flood the works. The 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 with me on how they are planning to get the steam shovel out of there? It would certainly be incon- venient to try to build a Law Build- ing with that thing underneath just waiting to stage a nice upheaval at the crucial moment . . . whenever that is.

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.

Main 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 I I, 1C To many Europeans, the plan suggests something very reminis- cent of the century-old Zollverein, This is only natural for the resem- blance is remarkably close in many of the provisions and the nations of Europe have not yet forgotten the powerful force which the first customs union proved in the unifi-I cation of the German nation and the building of a power that was for a time to rival any in Europe. .- .en nn . .... ..,.. ..... ..... 1.1. .in.t i ire so few men on th There is, in addition, the wide- Co]umbia who have t spread fear that the new Austro- being intellectually] German union is only the first of a themselves and with series of t-npe that will lead mi he Faculty of the power of honest with the under- a'SG1.tG-7 vl r5l'L"Pwi LIlUb Will 1tUU 1Li 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- Li :: graduates; the majority of the men SJ who teach here are nothing more - than mental ghouls, feeding vora- ciously on the brains of dead men, bringing forth their carrion before s students who barely realize the co- 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.
