obnoxious acts is far beyond the
class of a whispering campaign or
a few wild howlings of a liberal
press. While there is no safety in
predicting the chances for repeal
ultimately, it is certain that forces
are not operative in the country
which must be reckoned with m
much more summary style than
the apostles of prohibition were
ever able to command.

ART AND THE 'ENSIAN
To the Editor:
It was with deep regret that
many of the class of '31 viewed
the 'Ensian cover this morning. For
my part, I am ashamed L, have my
picture bound in such a cover.
Even if it had been bound in an
old blue notebook with its M, I
wouldn't have been more astound-
ed. That, at least, has some back-
ground to remind me of college
days. I'm not familiar with Indian
picture writing, but such, if that is
what it is, certainly is out of place.
I would also like to know, having
remained sober while on the cam-
pus, what the cock-eyed, crazy-
angled pictures of the columns of
Angell hall and of the old arch
will remind me of forty years from
now. What will my friends think?
Certainly such pictures b e 1 o n g
along with the 'big fish' pictures in
the comic section. i
Our grass stained duck-covered
'Ensian would certainly have looked
fine 'for the January issue of the'
Gargoyle. Truly there are a num-
ber of square pegs trying to fill
round holes! "What excellent Gar- I
goyle material found positions on
the 'Ensian staff!" That is the
summary of a few minutes over-
heard conservation at the display
window.
Now to those who are always
suggesting laws to remedy every
situation, allow me to suggest 'there
ought to be a law' against the
seniors buying "a pig in a poke."
If such a radical change was to
be made in the policy of the cover
design, such a cover should have
been presented to the class for sug-
gestions. If there was as much op-
position to such a cover as there
is now, it could have been changed.
It may not yet be too late! I, for
one, will go on record as desiring
a dignified leather cover, one that
,I could put on display, put in a
, book case or leave onkthe table for
people to see, a book that would
impress good common sensed peo-
ple, but now . . . well, I'm just a
Ssucker who "bit" early.

EMPHASIS WEEK!
Baxter
This week in an effort to bringt
the true natural humor of the
Genus Campus to the fore in our
department, we are headlining con-~
tributions that drift our way, pro-
viding, of cotrse, that they are
more fit to print than what we
have to say which is practically in-
evitable you might say-I wouldn't
think of saying.

CONTRIBUTORS FOR TODAY
Dear Dan:
Something should be done about
the new modernistic 'Ensian cover.
My suggestion is to furnish a bottle
of perfume with each book making
it smell like a pansy too. After all
it is symbolic of the institution if
things continue as they are at pres-
ent.
Last Year's Subscriber.
Dear Old Subsriber:
We modern are very fond of
pansies.

Dear Uncle Daniel:
At last I have found a meritorius
use for coeds. This morning as I was
piffling my way toward a bright
future and a higher education, I
chanced to pause at a corner to
let an automobile pass. My trained
eye fell to the street and there I
espied a beligerent looking puddle
precariously near me. Beside me
stood a few of the inhuman species
with which this article is concern-
ed, their untrained minds all un-
aware of the approaching danger.
Summing up the possibilities of suc-
cessfully warning them and finding
them nil, I did the next best thing
by stepping gracefully behind them,
saving myself a lovely cleaning bill
through the agency of the mere
{nature of coeds exploited, of course,
by my own adroit mentality.
Yours in the Ponds,
Mal A. Forethought.
Dear Mal:
I Hmphph! Don't you realize
that that was discourteous and
rude? Shame on you! Every
coed might be your sister, and
as an indication to the deity
that you are duly thankful that
she isn't, you should comport
yourself with great respect and
thoughfulness towards e a c h
and every one of the dear little
pests and never take advantage
of their little mental lapses.
Uncle Daniel who is very angry.

Dear Dan:
Look what came on the women's
pagetoday! . . . A lovely notice I
guess. It goes like this-
"Tryouts for positions on either
f the staffs f the Gargyle shuld re-
port tomorrow afternoon, further
details of the tryouts meeting on
Friday to appear in the Daily later

Ion in the week."
Lucid, No?
Yours,
WHOOSIL
Dear Whoosh:
Don't you pay any attention
to it. It's just those old funners
on the Gargoyle trying to fool
people again.
Yours,
Dann'l.

THE DECLINE OF THE WEST
The current number of the Mod-
ern Quarterly, a critical journal
published in New York and edited
by V. F. Valverton, contains an
article on contemporary musical
trends entitled "The Western Dance
of Death" by Carl E. Gehring, whose
musical criticism is well known to
Ann Arbor.
From the fundamental position
that Music is "a spiritually-reveal-
ing or key-art' or again that music
is "a subtle index of the spiritual
condition of its spokesmen" Mr.
Gehring broadly examines the mu-
sic of the last half a century and
finds it essentially corroborating
the rather disastrous conclusions
and prophecies about Western cul-
ture made by Oswald Spengler in
his "Decline of the West."
Mr. Gehring finds only decadence
in the European music which is in
the grea.t German tradition and
suggests that the "foci of civiliza-
tion are shifting to other than
western centers, ,to those people
best fitted for the task of rejuvena-
tion"-namely Russian and United
States, countries whose potential
vitality has been presaged by their
music, the rythmic features and
"gaunt strength" of the one music
and the significance of the crystal-
lization into "Jazz" of the Ameri-
can-Negro contribution to the
other. All other contemporary
music is found to be an enfeebled
reflection of a "civilization-become-
unwieldy"- a situation which, it
is predicted, will soon work out its
consequences and "blot out to obli-
vion the West."
The fundamental assumption of
the article (that is, the nature of
the relation between music and so-
ciology which is postulated) and all
the musical judgements are inter-
estingly provocative and make a
highly stimulating discussion.

On T u e s d a y, Wednesday and
Thursday of next week Play Pro-
duction will offer "Mrs. Partridge
Presents" by Mary Kennedy and
Ruth Hawthorne as the third lab-
oratory production of the year. It
will be directed by Harry R. Allen.
Tickets may be obtained free from
two to four any afternoon next
week. Phone orders will not be ac-
cepted.
The year that "Mrs. Partridge
Presents" played in New York, it
was chosen as among the ten best
plays of the season by Burns Man-
tle. It tells the story of the revolt
of two children against a widowed
mother who has planned their ca-
reers for them as actor and artist.
After the failure of her plans, the
son fulfills his ambition to become
an engineer and the daughter gets
married. What happens to the
mother is not stated.
"Mrs. Partridge Presents" is the
first three act play to be attempted
by Play Production this year. Like
the two one act play programs it
is produced for the purpose of sup-
plementing class work with practi-
cal productions of a non-commer-
cial nature.

The same issue of the Modern

D. H. Lawrence's literary contribu-'
tion which has appeared since his
death in an article by Herbert S..
Schwartz, formerly music critic of
The Daily.
Applying an interesting and novel
method of literary criticism which
he calls "a study in Lawrence's own
terms," Mr. Schwartz by examining
Lawrence's important and little-
known books on psycho-analysis
and several of his more important
poems reaches the conclusion: "The
tragic paradox of it all is that, hav-
