One of the questions confront- ing university authorities today is the choice between professors who conduct research work while hold- ing teaching positions, and profes- sors who devote all of their time to the teaching profession. Judging from the number of pro- fessors on the Michigan campus who are spending many hours each week in research work, the Univer- sity does not altogether agree with views held at the University of Chicago where it is claimed pro- fessors should devote the bulk of their time to teaching, that they should be given salaries adequate enough to make up for any income the professor might realize from outside work, and that the man who engages in serious research work often considers his classes and students as an added nuisance. There can be no doubt that a majority of the professors here are doing work that will prove of value to mankind in general, but it must be said that many of them consid- er their students and classes of minor importance. This might also be said of certain professors who spend much of their time writing books, and as a result are unable to grade the papers of their stu- dents and hold adequate consulta- tions. The University in picking such men for the faculty should not overlook that the students need active attention from the instruc- tors and that contact with men who are interested in their views and ambitions will be of great value in the world to them in later years. It can be said that the professor is primarily interested in research work in certain cases may encour- age a limited number of students to become experts in a certain field but generally this is to ignore the majority of students who are not looking for specialization but gen- eralization, particularly in the lit- erary college. A professor, who should be paid for teaching Michigan men, should the first attempt to force a specialc session of the recently elected Con- gress. The obstacles came in the form of an attempt to keep Senator James J. Davis, former Secretary of Labor, from the seat in the Senate which he won in the last elections. The charges, the time-worn alle- gation that too much money had been spent in securing the election, were set up as the bait, so often successful in the past, by SenatorI Nye, of North Dakota, demanding that the oath of office be withheld.3 But the tempting morsel was turned aside and the motion was promptly defeated by a two to one vote. Senator Davis received even the support of the steering committee of the Democrats who refused Senator Nye's demands "because the special committee may request further time to investigate the charges." The whole country desires that Congressional proceedure should be free from the unnecessary hind- rance of special sessions. This is true in times of prosperity for the public fears a decline in industry and trade. It is even more true at the present time when the country is in the throes of one of the worst business depressions in the recent history of the United States. It is highly gratifying, therefore, to see the prompt manner with which the first obstruction was met and swept out of the way. Their speed in this action is a good baro- meter of the determination of the Congress to complete their task on schedule. There's little doubt about it; President Hoover's new fund for the unemployed, will at least serve to keep hosts of sub-sub-treasurers and sub-sub-sub-secretaries busy. Zeta PhitEta,bin challenging Alpha Nu to debate on whether co-eds behave like human beings, would seem to admit that women have some Gou on the matter. President Hoover says rigid eco- nomy is necessary to avoid increase in taxes. Apparently, he is getting in practice to take over Mr. Cool- idge's platitude column. Representative Lea, Dry leader, contends that the liquor question will still exist a thousand years from now. The prohibitionists, it seems, are beginning to worry about the solution 900 years too soon. 0 DAISIES WON'T Everyone is asking where Dan Baxter is. He has gone off into another orgy of abandon. I know, where he is but I won't tell where he is. Nobody who knows where he is will tell where he is. Perhaps nobody knows where he is. Where is he? Nothing has been done about Newberry Auditorium yet and I certainly am surprised. Per- haps, if it were thoroughly renovated it might take on a certain degree of dignity, but that wouldn't help its qualities of ventilation a bit, nor they heating system either. You can heat all of that building some of the time and you can heat all of the building some of the time but you can't heat some of the building all of the time. Some day I am going to burst in on my ten o'clock lecture via the fire escape that comes up from the ground to the door that opens onto the proscen- ium. MUCC AND DAAj MUSICAL ART QIAlTET, A ieyiew. No quartet that has appeared in Ann Arbor in some time so consis- tently discovered and maintained ideal chamber music "qunaities" as did the Musical Art Quartet of Nw York in a splendid proaram last evening. In their performanc chamber music regained its ci- teenth century connotations. Thir! approach to the music was modest and refined. There was no striving for an aggressive brilliance, a per- sonal vigor or power. Only the l mildness and cahn spontaneity of sympathy with the music: sym- pathy so complete as to need no insistence to become apparent. The result was a fine tenor of intimacy to the whole evening. That the au- dience clearly felt this was indicat- ed, I think, by the locally uncus- tomary practice of refraining from applause between movements. The musical things that. happen- ed entirely justified this aristocra- tic refinement. The early Beetho- ven quartet was read very lucidly; very sensitively: the music's de- mands calmly, fastidiously satis- } fled.

"Liquor is more expensive and not always so reliable, but while you can still get it, why object, why bother?" That, in brief, has been the substance of public apathy toward Prohibition. During our lush' years of prosperity, the economicI consequences were ignored. In the present cycle of depression, how- ever, consumer and manufacturer alike are beginning to resent the throwing of vast sums into the never-sated maw of Enforcement and of the loss of government reve- nue. From the records of 1914 it is shown that the return of light wines and beer would net the gov- ernment an annual internal reve- nue of over 150 million dollars. In addition, the amount spent yearly on enforcement would go to the credit side of the ledger. In view of the admitted probability of a' deficit in federal receipts, this is no trivial consideration. From the standpoint of capital and labor, the 1914 Federal Census of Manufacturers indicates that over one billion dollars would be involved in the re-establishing of the brewing and vinting industries, and the number of laborers em- ployed in building, trucking, manu- facturing and bottling, considered together with their dependents, would involve a total of about two million persons. The legalizing of beverages of low alcoholic content would also do much to relieve the tribulations of the Middle West. In 1913, when prices were low, the actual farm value of grain and hops purchased by brewers was over 87 million dollars, and it was computed that the average barrel of beer yielded the farmer $133.98. To the interest of mine share-holders and work- ars, the United States Fuel Admin- istration estimated that in 1917, brewers used two million tons of goal.

Who cares, anyway,' what our pedants think of one an- other? Whenever I hear one of my professors start in on "one of my colleagues" I fold up and slumber. I wonder if that is what I'm ex- pected to do? Who says whimsies won't sell! From the size of the crowd that went to Lydia Mendels- sohn Tuesday night to see "Alice in Wonderland" one might think that the American citizenry is going three paces east or something. Maybe the major interest was in the mor- bid mechanics of the perform- ance. Personally I found quite a bit of charm and amusement in it, even if they did mess the story up considerably. Last year the B & G- boys went to a lot of trouble to plant bushes and shrubs all around that little vacant lot in back of Angell Hall between the Romance Language Building and University Hall. The presumable object was the exclu- sion of ordinary pedestrians from the joys of walking across the grass, though more adventuresome stud- ents pushed through the bushes and made the usual trip as before. The B & G boys will have to get Those who had one of the most thrilling musical experiences in their lives from the boy Ricers sensitive performance of Beethov- en's violin concerto in the last May Festival may be interested in his recent activity. It seems that the now 10 year old lad has been dogged for the last few months by lawyers and detectives, has been subjected to all sorts of petty annoyances and cavillings and dragged into courts and the offices of mayors to have decisions made about him. Despite these complica- tions that would probably shatter the temperament of a mature art- ist, the boy stepped to a large .stage Monday night and played the Beethoven violin concerto for a. large New York audience, with his teacher Louis Persinger leading the orchestra accompaniment. The performance seems to have amazed the not easily Inflamrahle New York critics. Olin Downes in particular wrote the following com- ments in the New York Times: "There can hardly be a ciestion now that the young Ricci is a boy player of genius . . . That he wiil be a better and better player as he grows older can be safely prog- nosticated' beeau;e o the very sound artistic qualities of his pre- sent approach to music . . .At all times the youthful violinist was master of himself and the situation.
