While we have no especial quarrel with the personnel of this committee, inas- much as it derives its powers from the Interfraternity council and it. represents a heterogeneity of in- terests, a satisfactory vote to indict a house or a freshman for infrac- tion of the rules would be extreme- ly difficult under very, easy circum- stances. Furthermore, the range of penalties which t h e committee could inflict upon recalcitrant freshmen is limited and entirely unofficial. The same is partially true of penalties for houses, though by the nature of the exactions, such as social probation, the mor- al weight of some official support by the administration is obtained. We doubt, therefore, the potency and the ability of the judiciary committee under the present ar- rangement, despite the fact that they are especially charged with enforcement, either to impose pen- alties compelling the respect of freshmen, upon whom the bulk of responsibility for enforcement of the plan must fall, or to obtain an assured vote in favor of inflicting a penalty upon any infracting house. But the basic factor in opposition to a successful operation of the project is the lack of an enterpris- ing co-operative spirit among the houses. If the Interfraternity coun- cil represented a concerted opinion of the majority of fraternities, if that body was a source of effective and potent influence, if it had a reputation for any achievement or efficient and earnest action, we would be compelled to alter our esti- mate of this project's enforcibility at the hands of the judiciary com- mittee, the abilities and destiny of which are almost indistinguishably bound up with the Interfraternity representation. An examination of the "support" of the plan by the fraternities and their lack of in- terest in it reveals how listless and undependable t h e i r cooperative backing would be. This year's of- ficers were elected with special powers to bring before the council a deferred rushing plan because they were deemed the only ones who would be sufficiently aggres- sive in dealing with the measure. Last Monday's vote was taken with a bare quorum present; roughly three-quarters of one-half of the houses represented in the council voted in favor of the project. At no time has deferred rushing a- roused any other emotion or atten- tion from that body than an oblig- ing and resigned acceptance of the inevitable trend of events. In the light of such circumstan- ces, we take our hat off to the group of men who blithely hope that they can so enforce this legis- lation as to place every freshman in the right fraternity with a min- imum of hard feelings. We admire their courage in accepting the onus of all the police work, the prosecut- ing, the penalizing and especially the disappointments d arnc, Ann Arbor is once more Ann Ar- bor, if you catch my meaning. When I looked out last night and say all the lovely sleet, snow, slush, and such I nearly cried for joy. The old place is comng back. * * * It is rumored (and I am the Rumorer-in-chief, so you can see that it is authentic to the last degree) that in the last column of, the Inlander's story "Illegitimate" there is the prize typo of the cen- tury. I am inclined to look upon this as a cheap method of popular- izing the Inlander, but in this case it certainly makes the issue worth buying. * * * AWFUL! Yes, siree, - awful. That's what a pal of mine from Min- nesota said when I took him up to see Newberry Auditorium the other day. He said that he now felt different about our winning the football game from them because we needed some sort of compensation for attending a school that Was capable of leav- ing anything on their campus in such condition. He said it wasn't any wonder that the coeds looked so-oh well, we needn't go into that, but that's what he said anyway, and you can't go blaming me for what he said when he was the one that said it.

Mr. Gabrilowitsch last night con- tinued his habit of granting Ann Arbor cautious, notgparticuarly inspired, concerts: the programs very conventionally constructed, very competently rendered. One's thinking about him and his orches- tra almost tends to stop there. This is unfortunate; because, of course, he is a great musician at times. The repetition of the Rachman- inoff Symphony in E Minor, which was the only large symphonic work in the last May Festival, was par- ticularly unforunate. The impres- sario's rationale of these things is beyond me. Rachmaninoff is a competent re-writer of the Rus- sian School, he is something of a hangover. To a considerable extent he reminisces about the emotions that the Russians (particularly Tchaikovsky since Rachmaninoff is more the cosmopolitan than the nationalist) expressed. His music, then, tends to lack the hysteria of Tchaikovsky, being more ordered, more perspicuous. But it also lacks the genuineness and the passionate sincerity of Tchaikovsky, being very often ponderous, labored, slow of statement. One in particular notes the elegant sentimentality of the elegiac slow movement, the very conscious lyricism of it. Then, too, the very obvious borrowing of structure for his last movement from Tchaikovsky's last movement in the Fourth Symphony. Withal, Rachmaninoff is a smooth writer of pleasant music. My only point is that one hardly cares to have a contemporary work in an old idiom repeated in two successive sym-- phony concerts when Ann Arbor only hears three full symphony concerts a year. The tendency is perhaps to stay away. Mr. Gabrilowitsch gave the sym- phony a very lucid, lyrical read- ing. The orchestra, undoubtedly bc cause of the- insistent demandsI made of them to play the "Musco- vites," are sensitive to the idiom: the eccentric ilogic, the quick sw,lls, etc. The second haf of the progra was short. Vaghan - Williams' "Norfolk Rhapsody" is an effective piece of atmospheric music, very subtly scored. The deftness with which Gabrilowitsch produced and blended the colors in this work shows a progress in the efliciency of the orchestra he is slowly build- ing. The Casella orchestration of Balakirev's great stumbling block for pianistic virtuosos one may or may not like. It closes a conven- tional program plausibly. THE MUSICAL ART QUARTET No chamber music ensemble in recent years has become so firmly established within such a brief space of time as has the Musical Art Quartet, which comes to the Mendelssohn Theatre the night of December 3, in the second concert in the series sponsored by the Chamber Music Society. The per- sonnel of the quartet again shows the extraordinary persistence of the old Kneisel Quartet as an influence in American Chamber Music. Sas- cha Jacobsen, the first violinist, began his studies in the famous class of the late Leopold Auer at Petrograd; but coming to America he studied under Franz Keise Paul Bernard, second vioinist, and Louis Kaufman, the viola player, were also students of Kneisel. Miss Marie Roemaet-Rosanoff is a stud- ent of Pablo Casals. The quartet, beginning soundly in the classics, later establishect a reputation as interpreters of mod- ern chamber music and are now one of the most popular ensembles in the country. Samuel Chotzinoff, of the World, even went so far as to remark that: "The best way to enjoy chamber music is to partied- pate in playing it. Failing that, the next best thing is to hear it played by the Musical Art Quartet. Mr. Felix M. Warburg, famous collector, two seasons ago presented the quartet with four Stradivarii. The program announced for the local concert follows: I.

SOUTH STATE STREET PHONE 3814 Night Editor-JOHN D. REINDE] THE DEFERRED RUSHING PROPOSAL-1. When the deferred pledging pro- posal was first introduced upon the campus last year by the dean's office, acting through the Senati committee on student affairs, The Daily opposed the plan both in principle and intention as being inimical to the best relations be- tween houses and freshmen. Nov we are confronted by the Interfra. ternity council bearing a plan o deferred rushing limiting the time and places at which freshman rushees may be approached by a fraternity, the length of timea freshman may be inside a frater- nity house, the number of meal he may eat there, the conditions under which bids may be offered and the penalties to be inflicted upon any liouse or any freshman that violates the code. Leaving aside any discussion of the principle and motives back of deferred rushing at Michigan, the immediate issue at hand is the en- forcibility of the plan as incorpor- ated into the constitution and by- laws of the Interfraternity council After the Senate committee had passed its ruling which stated in effect that freshmen could not be pledged until the second semester and could not be initiated until their scholarship had attained a certain standard, the dean's office directed its energies toward evolv- ing a plan of rushing which would contain the mechanics for elimin- ating evils in the old cut-throat system. A committee of students working under this supervision drew up a proposal which embod-I ied the rudiments of the one finally adopted by t h e Interfraternity body. It provided for open houses during an orientation period near the close of the first semester, a regulated and limited number of dates, and an impersonal machine operated by the dean's office to de- termine which 'freshmen could be pledged by which houses.
