Miss Graham is dancing tol~lght and tomrrow in the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre on herway to Mexico City as holder of the Gug- genheim Fellowship. All of the dances mentioned by Mr.4 Martin are included in Miss Graham's Ann Arbor program.) Martha Graham has never danced more briliant- ly than she has in her New York recitals this winter in New York. Without compromising her standards in the smallest degree, success has come her way in the form of capacity houses and cheering audi- ences. The public is with her at last, and far from being an achievement to be sneezed at, it has pecu- liarly released something within her. She no longer dances before her audiences-as she used to say- "with a. whip in her hand." They are now her enthusiastic adnirers, and she, in tarn, is unearthing depths in her art never before plumbed. She has scored tifree fery great and significant achievements this winter in the final formation of the "Primitive Mysteries" cycle, in her new cycle "Ceremonials," and in her stark dance of tragedy "Dithyrambic." The "Primitive Mysteries" cycle is a composition which must be ranked among the choreographic masterpieces of the modern dance movement. Its simplicity of form and its evocation of the childlike religious elevation of a primitive people never falter for a moment. Miss Graham's performance, consid- ered apart .from the excellences of her composition, is one of warmth and graciousness. In her emotional blossoming Miss Graham's tech- nique bears the mark of great change. She has built her physical system upon the basis of percussive movement-a stroke of muscular effort and its con- sequent vibrations of recovery. In her earlier and more defensive compositions it was the stroke which assumed the chief importance, while the aftertones were allowed to take care of themselves. Now, without having violated in the least the cannons of the method, she has found the secret of striking without clangor, like the stroke of those mellow gongs of the Orient which begin their vibrations as if without an\ initial piercussion. "Dithyrambic" is the ancient dance ritual on which the Greek tragedies are founded and from which they sprang. From some points of view, it is actually the outstanding item of her programs, though it is far less elaborate than her dance cycles. Frankly, a difficult composition for an audience to grasp at first sight, it never fails, nevertheless to evoke an enormous response. Its emotional -impact is irresista,ble, even though the fine points of its intricate design may escape observation., At every 'reseeing one is impressed more deeply with the magnitude of this composition, not to speak of its masterly performance, and with the strange hard beauty of the music, Aaron Copeland's "Piano Variations," to which it is danced. Louis Horst, as in all of'Miss Graham's work, contributes substan- tially to its success by his playing of it. RecentlyI was talking, with La Argentina in a suite aboard ship, just befor s e sailed this spring. In offering .congratulations to Martha Graham on the receipt of the first Guggenheim Fellowship ever to be given -to a dancer she added her enthusiasm for thepurpose to which the award was to be put. America,,she feels, has a great dance of its own yet to be developed; it also has dancers capable in every day of "developing it from native material. Mme: Argentina bases her own art entirely on the foundationsof the dance which' grew out of the soil of Spain.' She does not present these folk dances on the concert platform (nor does Miss Graham), but the highly personal creations which she does present there derive directly and consciously from them. She argued that the American dance must be built up by the 'same processes-a recognition of the valid- ity of the dance impulses which are an exudation from the land itself; the absorption of these impulses by the artist; and his utilization of them consciously in terms'of his individual inspiration. She cited the Indian and the Negro as examples of what had already been produced on our continent. She also held that the distinctive basis of the Amer- ican dance, 'like that of the Spanish, was that of its rhythm. If one had rot known differently, it might have been supposed that Mine. Argentina had listened to Miss Graham's lectures and read her articles on the subject, fo rallowing the natural differences in tem- perament of the two dancers, their views were seen to be identical. The following program will be given by students of Matha-Merkle Lyon, of the faculty of the School of Music, Thursday evening, June 2, at 8:15 in Room 305 of the School of Music. They will be assisted by Helen Elizabeth Gray, pupil of Nora Crane Hunt, with Jane Law. as accompanist.

Making Up Time. 4 EW students, while contemplating the more or less improfitable horizon appearing as sum- mer vacation, realize the possibilities of summer session at te University. While graduate students, have always availed themselves of the facilities offered during this. session, undergraduates have not taken advantage of the opportunities 'to the extent that they might have. Students attending the summer session have in many ways access to' fields not open during the regular school year. Professors who are prominent in their subjects at other universities give courses during the shorter term and thus open the way to a nrew interchange of ideas and thought. .Courses may be completed in shorter time and many stu- dents use the credits accumulated at this time to coast on later. rIn addition to courses'given in Ann Arbor, additional instruction is offered in summer camps in geology, 'geography, biology, engineering and forestry. Recreational facilities are opened wider to the student by a partial relaxation of' the auto ban for such purposes, while many trips to outside places of interest are open to all students. Summer 'school will be worth attending this year more than ever. With short time employ- ment; such as most undergraduates hope to obtain during the summer months, at a very low point, the amount necessary for expenditures in the edu- cational field constitutes an excellent investment. With many graduates returning to school next year because of lack of employment, the student is brought to the realization that too much educa- tion can never be harnfil. Why spend the suimy mer doing nothing when the time can be utilized very profitably in Ann Arbor? .1______________________ Mock Junior Elections. By Barton, Kane Considerable excitement has been aroused by a certain gentlema who spends the noon hour in the heat tunne] that runs underneath the campus and looks up through the grating near the Engineering arch at passing students. Recently two male students discovered his game; went to get a bucket of water; returned and found that the man had disappeared. Another article from the Health Service. Two students, one of whom is John William Thomas, escaped' from their beds on the second floor and went to the second show at the Majestic theatre the other night. Nurses were waiting for the culprits when they Teturned, They explain- ed that if the, boys had asked per- mission they would have let them go to the movies and would have prepared something for them to eat when they returned. * * * Paul Showers, last year's editor of Gargoyle was in town yesterday. At about 2 o'clock at night Funny- man Showei'sdecided to go calling; went to see all his .old friends; roused them out of bed; asked them how studies were going. * * * Marjorie Western, B o s w e 11 of Marion Shepard campus bad girl, passed the Pharmacology building last week; heard dogs within bark- ing; called a custodian and asked for an explanation; discovered that the animals were being used for ex- periments; became very a n g r y when custodian refused to free dogs; told him, that he was a eruel man. * * e Martha Graham, dancer appear- ing at the Lydia Mendelssohn thea- tre, was interviewed yesterday while she was getting a shampoo and a manicure at the League Beauty shop. Brackley Shaw, the inter- viewer, took few notes; said he felt silly; stated that he' was as out of place in the beauty shop as he would have been in a ladies Tur- kish bath. Peggy Duggan, Sorosis freshman, and Pep Bursley, Sigma Phi back- slapper,e decided to play "Romeo and Juliet" on the steps of Hill au- ditorium a few nights ago. Politi- cian Bursley forgot the lines of Ro- meo; said he would rather play "Othello"; chased Collegiate Soro- sis Duggan about the steps. Miss Duggan slipped; fell down; hit every step;' ' decided to stop playing. * * * Blethel Kelly, sophomore at the Delta Kapp4 Epsilon house, is a tryout for the presidency of the In- terfraternity Council. Fraternity Man Kelly yesterday called the of- rice of the dean of students; in- formed Miss Snyder, secretary to Uncle Joe, that in case Mr. Bursley didn't know it, the Judiciary com- mittee of the Council was going to meet in his office that night. Sec- retary Snyder, ever cautious, asked if Dean Bursley knew about the meeting; informed Kelly that the dean could not attend. The meeting was postponed. * * Stories of injustices at Mosher- Jordan keep on piling up in my desk. Peggy Duggan had an out of town guest stay with her in Jordan hall. The guest went out with Wil- lian. Nichol, of the Delta Tau Delta house, and was ,0 minutes late. She and Nichols were strolling about the terrace and didn't know about the time ruling. Miss Duggan has to make (up time for it this week- end and Ishe is angry about it. * * * The seniors held their mock elec- tions today. At this time ' wish to nominate the following for next year. Most Attractive Girl, Mary Phil- lips. Most Popular Girl, Margaret 0'- Brien. Smoothest Politician, Joseph Zias. Best Appearing Man, Benjamin MeFate. Most Effective Brunette, Ann Ver- ner.

Co-eds Choice, Roderick Cox. .egisla t ive .eadership Appears / )NE of the most dramatic incidents in the poli- tical history of the United States during the st decade took place Tuesday when President .oover personally appeared before the Senate hich had been holding up the revenue bill. By; ghtfall the budget was balanced. The opposition has been complaining for some onths of lack of leadership in the addministration,I id has not been able to contribute Much towards alancing the budget itself. This latest move could certainly prove to the country that it is >t lacking in the leadership it needs in times like ese. Some of the methods for raising the revenue ay not be popular in certain quarters. But when i elected Congress spends the rublic monies and en stalls on obtaining the money with which to ake such expenditures, it is high time for drastic tion. President Hoover's action finally brought the calcitrant Senate to balance the budget. The gour and .tact with which he,handled the situa- ®n shows the country that it has the necessary adership for these times. y1 I mr ne ft (r, 1. ' a"-'- I mv A n 9 a wa, I I 1i,
