By Barton Kae Maria Abbot, Alpha Phi freshman and daughter of Waldo, is the girl who has just missed you several tilhes with her tannish De Soto roadster. Maria, who calls herself Mahree, had a cutout on her auto- mobile last year and after missing you would use this instrument as a parting gesture. Finally people complained and the police took the cutout away. Incidentally here is a warning to people who have heretofore climbed high trees when they saw-Maria ap- proaching in her De Soto. She turn- ed it in yesterday for a nice brand new Plymouth roadster. It is tan and it has shiny red wheels. It is faster and has better brakes than the old car so pedestrians will have to be just a little more careful. Last week, Maria went into the Hut, sat down with a certain young man, danced, but did not eat. When the young man paid his bill he was charged 25 cents extra. Mike Fin- gerle was consulted. High school girls often dance in the afternoon, he said, but do not buy. The waiter evidently thought that Maria was one of these. The young man got his quarter back, and Miss Abbot drove away in her tan roadster. * * * Dr. Margaret Bell, of the Health Service, has gone Hollywood. Yes- terday a photographer with a mo- tion picture camera turned the Health Service upside-down so that Dr. Bell would have a film t show when she lectures. Several students, probably wait- ing in line to obtain excuses from classes, were shanghaied to act in the picture. They were photograph- ed entering the building, securing their cards from the main desk, and sitting in the-aiting room. Dr. Bell had all of the doctors flash their lights with alarming rapidity and the actors reported to the var- ious rooms. The efficiency of the Health Service has been tried and found not wanting-in the movies. * * * In spite of a remark made in The Daily a, fe day ago about the baby cairiage in front of 1Mosher hall, the carriage is still there. I saw it Thursday, empty but care- fully lined with blue-blankets and fluffy pillows. Dean Alice Lloyd, what do you think of that? The Sigma Chi house, particular- ly noted for its Harry Begley, Wil- liam Elliot, James North, and the Spoils System, has inaugurated a new form of.hell week. Last year, they forced their pledges to march about the house shouting "3 o'clock and all is well" every 15 minutes. (Of course, if it was 4 o'clock, they called "4 o'clock and all is well.") As a result, the pledges got very lit- tle sleep and the neighbors also got very little sleep. The police finally stepped in and put a stop to the whole affair. The Sigma Chi hell week now consists of masquerade parties and frequent encounters with Old Betsy, the house paddle. * * * Dr W. D. Henderson, director of the University extension bureau, whatever that is, told a group of senior engineers the other day that, if the plight of some fraternities is as serious as The Daily says, they should not worry so much about deferred rushing rules but should kill some of their oversized dogs for food. At my house, we've done that al- ready, Dr. Henqerson. What would you do if you were leaving on a train for New York and someone handed you a box containing a white rabbit, which factyou didn't know until after the train had started? This was the predicament in which John Smiley Marshall, of Rolls oolumn fame, found himself recently. Although there may or may not be train rules against car- ryiig pets on trains, he took the rabbit all the way to New York and back again, and it is now thriving over at the Ielta Phi house on car- rots and dry toast. Originally chris- tened George, it is now more cor- rectly called Georgeina. * * * The Union is still as careful as ever. A young lady called up last If ' write, we have it.

"HE new fraternity plan, which would defer rushing during Orientation week and pledging during the first two weeks of the fall term, has completed the first circuit of its three-lap mara- thon. Proposed three weeks ago, the plan was passed by a unanimous vote'of the Interfraternity Council last week and passed a second time, again unani- mously, last Wednesday night. Under Article X of the rushing rules, the new plan has only to be approved by the Senate Com- mittee on Student,-Affbirs to become a part of the Interfraternity Council constitution and to go into effect next fall. It would seem that the marathon is almost over, but there are obstacles yet to over- tome. Dean Joseph A. Bursley has indicated that the Interfraternity Council's decision may not carry much weight with the Senate Committee, unless it is first approved by the Judiciary com- mittee of the Council and indorsed by a group of alumni who are working on a relief plan of their own. Since the financial stability of fraternities de- pends upon this plan's going into effect next year, the three bodies should meet as soon as possible to act upon the measure. According to Edwin T. Turner, president of the Council, the alumni group will convene next Tuesday. The alumni could be of real assistance to the fraternities by accepting the plan without inserting any technical revisions, since a single amendment would make it necessary for the Coun- cil to act upon the entire proposal again. Turner is empowered to call a special meeting of the Judiciary committee at any time. If he is, as he said in his platform for election to the office, strongly in favor of the revision, he will secure immediate action of the committee. The commit- tee, if really representative of the fraternities, which have expressed unanimous approval -of the plan, will not throw a wrench into the machinery which has been set in operation after months of trial which have proved the failure of the present system. Regardless, however, of the action taken by the alumni and the Judiciary committee, the decision rests with' the Senate Committee. The, Senate Committee may be convened by Dean Bursley at any time he deems the' business under consider- ation to be sufficiently important. Obviously, the fipancial crisis facing the fraternities is sufficiently important, and Dean Bursley has indicated that he will not pigeon-hole the measure. The Senate Committee has shown its willing- ness to co-operate with the fraternities and the Council by passing several relief measures this spring. We are confident that the Committee wil be as liberal in considering the new rushing plan, upon which may rest the fate of many fraternities. ART . I AUSTRALIAN PAINTING by Donald F. Blankertz An exhibition of modern Austrian paintings, the last exhibit to be given this season under the auspices of the College Art association, is open daily to the public in the west gallery of Alumni Memorial hall1 and will continue to be shown until May 30. It is an interesting collection of 70 oils, water-colors, and drawings and prints, the works of modern Austrian artists. The general impression of these paintings is one of vigor and color. They have not the technical skill of French painting nor the freedom of manner that is associated with contemporary American art, but they reveal a true and sincere originality of feeling and spirit. Egon Schiele, who died in 1918 at the age of 28 is often spoken of as the innovator of a new movement in Austria. "The Girl and the Hat" is done in his decorative style with'an elaboration of detail. A later work, "Three Girls," shows an independence of ex- pression and a strong composition. Josef Dobrowsky, an important artist of the "Se- cession" group which dominated Austrian' art earlier' in the century, has several landscapes presenting views of little towns and the life of the people. A rival group, the "Hagenbund" group, is represented by its leader, Carry Hauser, whose portrait "Miss Universe" and "Couple on a Balcony" show a definite stylization and skill in execution and composition. In recent years these powerful groups have been waning and certain independent artists have become prominent. Among them are Felix Albrecht Harta whose canvas "Bolino" shows his remarkable style, Anton Kolig, whose works are fine both in color and composition, and Victor Tischler whose work, "Mother and Child," folows the French tradition. Bockl and Egger are seemingly disciples of Oskar Kokoschka, the greatest of living Austrian artists working in the plastic style. LOAN EXHIBIT by Helen B. Hall The etchings and lithographs which are being exhibited in the North Gallery of Alumni Memorial Hall are from the extensive and valuable private collection of Dr. and Mrs. Walter R. Parker of Grosse Pointe. The generosity of Dr. and Mrs. Parker in loaning these fine prints is appreciated by their many friends, and the exhibit provides a splendid op}or- tunity for patrons of the May Festival to see these beautiful examples of the graphic arts. The prints will be on view until May 30. Four exquisite lithographs by Ingres are especially delightful. These are portrait studies, figures drawn almost in outline yet beautifully modelled, represent- ing the delicacy of line and the distinction which this great French artist attains in his works. i I I I ge 4&w&~1(~2~M CO~N Iv. ,iitmc CI MUSIC *and DRAMA I 4j j SECOND FESTIVAL CONCERT A Review
