A Review.
By his last splendid encore-the
third movement of Bach's Italian
Concerto-Jose Iturbi had showed
himself splendidly adaptable, with
he one exception of Beethoven, to
all the central phases of piano Lit-
rature: from Bach, through Moz-
art, to Schumann, Chopin, Brahms.
Debussy, Albeniz and the American
spiritual and Blues. That fact alone
.s abundant evidence of an major
Pianistic talent.
The qualities that characterized
his performance of the Mozart A
'Vajor Sonata were perhaps subtly
3resent throughout the recital. He

I plead guilty to holding one of
these despised shingles, and prob-
ably had my share of "stale theor- c
3ms and rotted facts." Fashions of V
other years would suggest that s
probably the best place for anb
aspiring freshman to learn respect t
for his University is on the other a
end of a moving paddle. Such things n
have happened. But in submission '
to the new, enlightened doctrines, I
the Class of '34, will have to be con-
tent with its lot and leave to 8t
o'clocks, Ann Arbor weather and
Waldo Abbot the job of teaching
it sweetness and light. After threes
more years of spoonfeeding, your p
youthful radical may learn that a
proper desire will discover eagert
teachers for itself. Michigan has a
curious habit of rewarding those
who honor her, and of bestowing r
a priceless happinessupon thoseI
who love her. If her degree isI
'meaningless," may the shades ofa
Tappan and Angell have mercy on
the soul of him who thinks so.
Incidentally, The Daily tells usa
of the provinces, that the StudentI
council has banned fraternity par-E
ties on the night of the J-Hop, and
that the usually apologetic inter-I
fraternity council has threatenedX
its non-paying members with social
probation and restriction of rushing
privileges. You might relieve your
less enlightened readers by telling
them that neither body has thef
power to carry out its threats, since
these matters lie within the juris-
diction of the Senat'e committee on
Kudent affGai.s.

Nothing is needed by the parti-
ipant but some bottles of Shino-
Varnisho or whatever the stuff you
ee advertised so much is, and z
bit of savoir-faire. A helpful
hough not necessary, accessory is
a moustache such as the one the
man in the ads has. You enter an3
residence, demand a kettle of boil-
ng water from the lady who greet:
you, and explain what you intend
to demonstrate.
You then put Shino-Varnisho or
the nicest table-top available an(
spread in with neatness and dis-
patch and a rag. Pour water copi-
ously; and if it ruins the wood
laugh.

Night Editor-DAVID M. NICHOL
CRAMMING AGENCIES
Michigan is fortunate in no'
being dominated by a tutoring
school as is the case in many prom-
inent universities in the country
Students at Princeton and Yale, for
example, have access to tutorinE
agencies that are so efficient thai
they have the reputation of "spot
ting" a large majority of the ex-
aminations given during the year
These agencies practically guaran-
tee, for a stipulated sum, to mak.
it possible for a student to pass any
course in which he may need assist
ance.
It is gratifying to note that nc
agency in Ann Arbor has the repu-
tation of having such efficiency
However, if such an agency existec
there can be little doubt but that
hundreds of students at this tim(
of the year would sacrifice thei!
week's allowance for a supply o
canned knowledge.
It should be the effort of every
department in the University to
discourage attempts on the part of
the students to rely on a system
which inevitably results in intellec-
tual laziness. To discourage such
practices, certain departments at
specified times offer review lecture:
which tie up the semester's work.
Others advise students to seek
assistance, at a reasonable length
of time before the finals, from a
reliable faculty member in the de-
partment concerned. This is one of
the best means of obtaining reliable
and efficient preparation for exam-
inations, and is one which is based
on fairness to the student and de-
partment.
There are certain courses on the
campus which offer every advan-
tage to the student who desires to
"cram" and take chances on a final
blue book. These courses are the
ones that offer practically the same
examinations year after year with
very little variation in the subject
matter. Lecture courses having no
GARGOYLE
Why not place the blame for the
Cargoyle rot where it belongs? The
attention of the administration and
he chairman of the committee in
,ontrol of student publications had
een called to the cover page of
,he December number. But what
lid they do about it?
Their attitude seemed to be," it
aas been. printed and a lot of
money has been spent, so we can't
stop its sale and lose all that
:Honey, even though it is sacrili-
;ious."
There was a time when the Gar-
;oyle was a college humor maga- ;
;ine, but because of the degenerate
ninds that have been appointed to
,dit it and because of the lack of
abdominal capacity" of the facul-
,y members of the committee of the
>oard in control of student publi-
:ations, it has become a "cess pool
>f literature and art," as one citizen
;alled it.
There is no room on the campus
or a publication whose nearly
;very joke or cartoon has an ob-
,ious dirty or suggestive meaning,
ven though it "pays." No commer-
Jal magazine would dare publish
he rot the Gargoyle has, except
Tim Jam Gems, and that lot, but
perhaps the Gargoyle has faculty
anction, and so can "get away
with it."

Editorial Comment
COURTESY AND APPLE POLISH
(The Daily Nebraskan.)
The average student is so des-
perately afraid that someone will
accuse him of trying to get a "drag"
with a professdr that he ignores
one of the best opportunities to
educate himself. He denies himself
the profitable pleasure of chatting
with his various instructors for
fear that his profestors and fellow
students will misunderstand his in-
tentions.
Faculty members, as a rule, are
rather human. Some may have
t h e i r glaring eccentricities, but
many are good-hearted souls, anx-
ious to help their individual charges}
along. They have time for personalI
talks with students, but the caut-
ious students are too shy to crossI
the dividing line.{
SCORING
If lady of house laughs too,
points. If you get outside alive, 10
points. If you get outside dead,
penalized 15 points, and start all
over.

We saw "Aw, Nuts" last night,s
and we'd even go so far as to re-r
view it for you, if the column due
east of this point hadn't gotten the
idea first. Several members of the
Rolls and editorial staffs are im-
plicated in the show and there is
also at least one representative of
what we used quaintly to term theI
"business" staff, before the depres-f
sion. That ought to be warning
enough for anyone.r

And while we're about it, here is
another picture of two of the boys
in costume during one of thei
highly dramatic moments over at
the Laboratory theatre.

Christmas being only a few
days away-you've heard about
Christmas, surely there is no
good excuse for not saying
something about it; at least we
can't think of any. Someone
has installed a Christmas tree
in the center of campus. It has
branches and some c o 1o r e d
lights on it. T h e campus
spreads out on all sides of it.
It's all pretty silly, anyway.
* * *
We may be an old softy, but just
the same we can't help getting
pretty much worked up over it all.
Last year, for instance, we worked
up to the third branch from the
top and fell off. People shouldn't
go home for Christmas vacation,
anyway.

But if you do you'll probably get
pretty bored enroute. We under-
stand that there's already a game
in this column, but then, Rolls is
always game to the end.

GAME
Get into bus. Take rear seat
and light cigarette. When bus
-has started, look around and
pick out seat nearer the front
that is empty. Close eyes and
try to find seat.
Lots of interesting complica-
tions can arise in this sport. If
you don't believe it, just try.
Scoring
Sitting in pretty girl's lap, 1'
point. Sitting in fat lady's lap,
mate equipment for Mozart. First of -
ill, a contented, even gracious,.I
sensibility necessary to complete
3ympathy with the Mozartean re-
gnement; and technically, the lucid
articulate style, crisp, cool and im-
,ersonal, employing nuances very
sparingly and avoiding the senti-
mental caress that can become in-
dissociable with a Mozartean phrase
by crystalline molding. From this
,are Mozartean combination of
-recision with insouciant ease came
dlear vivid music, now lyrical, now
delightfully laughing from the keys.
It was an exquisitely spirited per-
formance to open the recital with.
Turning from this cool classic
music to the glow and the musings
>f Schumann's impassioned fancy
-nearly at its best in the Etudes
Symphoniques--Iturbi seemed no
less gifted. however, he is not a
different person. He does not be-
come what Schumann would per-
haps tempt him to: the tempestu-
'us performer sweeping an impres-
,ionable audience by violence and
she whole fund of romantic non-
sense. He is still an exacting artist
using his abundant technique to1
articulate the many felicities of
3chumann 's music. His incisiveness
;till maintained itself. He gave this
nvsic thematic and emotional co-
eerence. It is just possible that his
musical speech is not quite rich
enough, in color and nuance, to
;ive the superb performance of theI
Etudes Symphoniques. He seemed to
be too much the gentleman, emo-
tionally and technically, to possess
;he swank and impetuosity for
many sections. But it was undoubt-
wdly a major performance.
His Chopin, I think, was negligi-
ble. It was good but not striking.
The two Brahms numbers, both of
ahem quite unpianistic and hardly
bearing their meanings on the sur-
face, were perhaps the best test on
;he recital for his musical intelli-
gence. His interpretations brought
meanings to the light in a coher-
ent, articulate whole. The two De-
bussy numbers played during the
evening were surprisingly spirited
and lucid; Mr. Iturbi was very
sensitive to Debussy's vaporous im-
pressionism without abandoning
his intelligence to it which resulted
in very distinguished and original
performances. In the "Navarra" of
his countryman Albeniz, Iturbi was
particularly keen to the music's
rythmic fluidity and its startlingj
color changes.
And then, closing his program
with a warm, if gentlemanly, fam-
iliarity with America's jazz idiom.
It was a bold and delightful stroke
to close an evening that certainly
revealed to Ann Arbor a new genius
among the younger pianists.
