the library difficult for faculty,
that it would be inconvenient to
have the library and classrooms in
separate buildings, and that num-
erous ' physical characteristics of
the proposed building were imprac-
tical and stumbling blocks in the
program of expansion previously
decided upon by the faculty, the
president augmented his reasons
for opposing the acceptance of the
gift by accepting and supporting
the views of one of his faculties.
This example discloses a mani-
fest divergence in the policy of
the Regents and that of the
faculties. It is not to be denied
that the Regents are a most in-
tegral and excellent agency in
Michigan's corporate organization.
Ours is not a brief against the
attitude of the Regents as a non-
political body responsible to the
state for the spending of its money.
But we do hold that the obvious
good of having the chief adminis-
trative influence exerted by those
in closest association with the Uni-
versity itself should be realized
more fully. With President Ruth-
ven's initial committment and the
painful examples of the past as
impetus, the faculties, it is our
hope, will undertake a progressive
policy of initiative and responsi-
bility in dealing with dormant
changes of teaching and adminis-
trative methods.

To the Editor:
Football season being in our
midst, squawks about tickets are of
course in order. I write to you, not
because I have any complaint to
make myself, but because I should
like the solution of a mystery. Can
you, or any of the readers of the
Michigan Daily, tell me what be-
comes of the 50,000 tickets for seats
situated between the boal posts.
Were I a Philo Vance, Sherlock
Holmes or Chief O'Brien I should
not seek your aid; but because I
am not, recourse to the columns of
your paper seems the only remedy
possible.
Having made some little study of
the situation let me give you a few
facts that may be of aid to you in
solving the mystery heretofore
mentioned.
Only 15,000 alumni of the Uni-
versity of Michigan live within a
radius that makes it possible for
them to attend any of the games.
Eight thousand studentshpurchase
on an average one ticket with every
free ticket allowed them by the
eUniversity. My mathematical cal-
culations show that allowing two
tickets to each alumnus capable of
coming to the games and two
tickets to every student on the
campus, a total of approximately
50,000 tickets would thus be used.
And now the mystery deepens.
In my four years on the campus I
have never been able to get seats,
except behind the goal posts.
Of course I would not blame Mr.
Tillotson for this; such a thought
is preposterous. He only has charge
of the ticket distribution and why
should a student who has only been
on this campus four years receive
anything but tickets behind the
goal posts. To begin with, students
are the surest customers Mr. Tillot-
son has. The price of their coupon
book is paid with their tuition and
whether the team is good or bad
the students must follow its for-
tunes.
With a business acumen that is
remarkable, Mr. Tillotson sees'to it
that fifty, forty and thirty yard
line seats are sold for the big games
to various people; but you can de-
pend upon it that none of these
people happen to be students ex-
cept in the cheering section.
Fifty yard line tickets can always
be purchased on days before big
games at the Detroit Athletic club
or any of the large Detroit hotels,
but not one is obtainable before the
games at the ticket offices.
Far be it from me to accuse Mr.
Tillotson or any member of the
athletic department of discrimin-
ation against students, who only
'happen to be the life, the prop and
the main support of University life
and athletics. This letter is not
written in a spirit of ill-feeling or
anger because the writer has re-
ceived tickets back of the goal
posts. Four years of such treatment
have served to deaden any resent-
ment that I have.

CHEERS
FOR ELMER
Well folks, we absolutely main-
tain all those nasty things we said
about Dan were true. In fact, we
remember when he once broke the
record for the mile run. He was
pulling out all the choke rods ont
the old Fords when one owner[
espied him. (Say it isn't so, Dan.{

Night Editor-DAVID M. NICHOL
RESPONSIBLE LFACULTIES.
Writing trenchantly and some-
what eloquently in the current
issue of the Nation, Mr. J. F. Kirk-
patrick calls attention to the ex-
cellent results achieved by vesting
tremendous administrative respon-
sibility in the.Faculty Trust of An-
tioch college. He points out that
the faculty, as well as the student
body, shares with the president the
wide authority allowed by the board
of trustees. The actual manage-.
ment of the college is in the hands
of the administrative council, made
up wholly of faculty members and
college officials, who determine
salaries, departmental budgets, and
all college policies. The faculty is
further empowered, by the crea-
tion of a trust under the laws of
Ohio, to handle the administration
of gifts. These powers are extended
to the faculty and students in the
belief that those people most
closely associated with the college
should be intrusted with its gov-
ernment.
Michigan is already committed
to an extension of faculty control
in administrative matters. As one
of the policies set forth in Presi-
dent Ruthven's innauguration mes-
sage, it was stated that progress in
administrative and teaching meth-
ods would be the result of faculty
views. But when the question of
acceptance and disposition of gifts
totthe University by the faculty is
considered, great bitterness and
heat is naturally generated over
the issue.
This matter has been most acute
at Michigan in times past. The im-
mediate events surrounding Presi-
dent Little's resignation are to the
point. While Dr. Little's very direct,
often brusque and tactless, manner
of dealing with the teaching staff
sometimes antagonized its mem-
bers, his opinions were greatly in-
fluenced by theirs. It had been
generally understood that President
Little ran amuck of the Regents
when he disapproved of W. W.
Dear Elmer:
I think it was a dirty trick,
taking credit for my poem.
Here is another good one.
Dick Rover.
* * *
There, we told you we didn't
write that trash. Another good one?
Well, please cut this dribble shorter
next time, Dick.
A co-ed tripped across the floor, (1)
I saw her heading toward the door.
In gallant style I beat my way
And got there first so I could say
"Young Lady, I am after you,
If you will please just pass on
through."
I followed up my pretty lead, (2)
And asked her if she'd not con-
cede
To see a show with me sometime-
Her wishes didn't jibe 'with mine.
She told me flatly what she
thought (3)
Of people who were never taught
That introductions of this kind
Were not so very hard to find.
I pondered over this a while-
It didn't seem the co-ed style.
Then all at once I saw the light,
I failed to keep my pot from sight.
. * * *
Now, D i c k me lad, we are
ashamed of you. This ought to.
teach you the Truth About Co-Eds.
May we point out several fallacies?
(1) Good work on tripping her.
(2) Are co-eds pretty? No. (3) Do
they think? If so, what with? No
to both questions. Leave 'em alone,
Richard.
Dear Elmer:
Tsch, tsch, Elmer, a Harvard
man would know what 'lieu'
means, and I distinctly remem-
ber using it in my billet-doux
(pronounced Bill you mustn't)
of Friday.
And say, I haven't seen your
library seal yet, but how about
teaching it to balance a dic-
tionary on its nose, and then I
think people would stay off its
toes. Poor thing.
L.
Dear 'Ell:
We're sorry, but we were sending
that paper down to Purdue, and
thought they might not understand
it. As for that atrocious pun of
yours - fie on you. Shame, and
double shame.
Elmer.
Which brings us up to the main
subject. Among those caught by the
rolls pherret yesterday stepping on
the library seal were Prexy, Dean
Bursley, Librarian Bishop, and
DAN BAXTER. Among the reasons
they gave were the following:
Broken leg; saves time to cross the
seal; to keep the rolls pherret busy.
Here Comes DAN now, I'd better
tear.
Yours ELMER.
* * *
I should hope to kiss a pig, you'd
better tear. Next time I catch that
Lowbrow around my column, I'll
take his Asst. Editorship away from
him so fast it'll burn his hands.
Hear me swear, my public, never
again will you be cursed with one
of his effusions.
That's a promise of
DAN BAXTER.
Whose word is ever as good as
a gilt-edged bond egad!
TWO HOOTS
FOR DAN
AND ELMER
They forgot to fill the column,
so we've taken the liberty of open-
ing Dan's mail.
Well, it seems' Aunt Katie's teeth
are troubling her again, and Cousin
George-but you know how Cousin
George is. Moreover, we found the
following gem:
Dear Dan:

OSSIP GABRILOWITSCH
A Review.
Tuesday night in Orchestra Hall,
Ossip Gabillowitsch, appearing un-
der the auspices of the Twentieth
Century Club, gave one of his very
infrequent piano recitals. Mr. Ga-
brilowitsch being the most dis-
tinguished m u s i c a 1 personage
within the available radius, it was
an event of some significance. .
The recital was very interesting
for its illuminations of Mr. Ga-
brilowitsch's qualities in his more;
familiar role of conductor. The
correspondence of musical inten-
tions in both roles is really re-
markable. It convinces one, if con-
vincing was needed, of his integrity
and self-awareness as an artist. For
some reason or other, these inten-
tions are very often only indicated
in orchestral performances. They
are magnificently realized at the
keyboard. With the heightened
s e n s e therein gained of Mr.
Gabrilowitsch's attitudes toward
music, one can be a more intelli-
gent listener at his orchestral per-
formances.
Certain qualities persisted Tues-
day night through Bach's Chroma-
tic Fantasy and Fugue, Beethoven's
C Minor Sonato Opus 10, Schu-
mann Fantasy Opus 17, some fami-
liar Chopin-an excellent program
suggesting a lecture recital on the
history of pianistic techniques.
Throughout there was sanity and
nobility of manner. Gabrilowitsch
is anything but a hirsute thunderer,
impressing by overwhelming. He is
rather too sane for that. He
achieves results by fine symmetry
rather than by tumult and impet-
uosity. He is composed, contriving:
an intellectual.
Yet he is a very poetic pianist.
He makes considerable use of ru-
bato and has a consistent, singing
tone. But the music never gets out
of hand because of his fine struc-
tural foresight. One note goes to
the other, with a clarity of move-
ment that means control. Thus he
is a pianist who realizes all the
impulses which classic and roman-
tic music suggest without abandon-
ing himself to them. This classic
continuance makes his most ques-
tionable phrasing seem convincing.
The outstanding interpretation
Tuesday night was that of the
Bach Chromatic Fantasy. is ap
proach to this massive harmonic
structure was deliberately contriv-
ing. He refused the rapid tempo
which makes it a virtuoso's piece,
vivid and sensational. (Dalies
Frantz has played it here this way).
His interest lay in clarifying that
intricate, text. His approach was
entirely intellectual and one's ex-
perience was largely of Bach the
architect. But surprisingly there
were many moments of lyricism at
this retarded pace. Only a mature
pianist could play this music so
firmly and calm' y.
Similarly, awareness of structure
and good taste made his Chopin
virile, without preventing him from
realizing the variety of impulses
there, with a mastery of tone color
and nuances of phrasing.
This basic sanity and nobility of
manner, which makes Gabrilo-
witsch an authoritative, incorrupt-
ible musician, undoubtedly explains
his avoidance of contemporary
music. He perhaps feels that the
hyper-emotionalism and distorted
structure so frequent in contem-
porary music are negations of his
fundamental gifts of temperament
and technique. Therefore, he sin-
cerely avoids modern music. This
conservatism-while still a limita-
tion, I think-is understandable in
the light of the perfection he at-
tains by it at the keyboard.

OLYMPIA
A Pre-view.
With that facility in the theatre
which has made him one of the
most wily and successful of- con-
temporary craftsmen - dramatists,
Molnar in "Olympia" has made a
familiar romantic theme the basis
for ingenious situations.
The regal family is dreading a
a scandal. It seems that when a
dashing captain in the Imperial
Hungarian Hussars too convinc-
ingly touches the imperial blood
pressure of Olympia the princess,
she is forced to haughtily dismiss
hin with that dreadful epithet
"peasant." The captain's humble
blood boils. He plans revenge. The
rumor comes from somewhere that
he is an internationally-known
