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.

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. Kenneth G. Patrick, '29. 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. e .., e ' 4 .

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." Alumnus. >--o 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. * * * . t * * * Reading from left to right, Elme and Dan. * The M.

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. * * S 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. W. J.G. 0 FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH Cor. S. State and E.
