unanimous- that fraternities should not be abol-
ishecd."
The least favorable report acquits fraternities
of the Spectator's "moral delinquency" charge.
Anent the "corrupt politicians" allegations Mr.
Brack writes that the concensus of opinion is that
the political ethics of undergraduates are, in fact,
sometimes almost as questionable as those of their
elders. The world being what it is, he implies,
students may not be acquiring inappropriate ex-
pezience in the political nianipulations they occa-
sionally attempt,
Furtherm&re, according to Mr. Brock, almost
all college authorities are of the opinion that if
fraternities were abolished other student group-
ings would almost immediately take place, which
new groupings would be less satisfactory than
fraternities because, having no alumni, no prop-
c ty, and no history, they would be free of the
incentives to good conduct that these factors at
present furnish.
A striking contrast is afforded in the opposite
methods employed by Mr. Brock and by the Spec-
tator in presenting their respective cases. Mr.
Brock draws from carefully collected facts; the
Spectator sets forth opinions on conditions which,
it believes, exist.
It is as natural as it is satisfying to find that
the Spectator is wrong.

of the pianist's own nation
As to technical passages-trills, arpeggio work,
and pedal cffects-dynamics'that Nwere almost un-
canny in their minute shadings, varying all the
way from pianissimos of ethereal softness, through
perfectly evolved crescendoes, to fortes of strength
and beauty-tones of bell-like clarity and phrases
that equalled the legato of stringed instruments
-one might use up a whole language of words
and never realize the perfection of this Horo-
witz. it is something that can only be expressed
in the performance itself, and in a world of limi-
tations he is the one person who can make pos-
sible his own achievements. Musical criticism is
too often flamboyant with words of little mean-
ing, but in the case of this master pianist, the
praise cannot begin to reach the man.

Union Hlair'ets
The Union is still charging 45 cents for hair-
cuts. Every other shop in town is charging 3
cents. The Union, a student club; is a non-
profit organization and eists solely for the
students. Yet the Union will not meet the town
rate.
False Pro dets
Hinder Constrictive Action
W HEN a difficult situation such as
Monday's arises, there are two ways
to meet it. One is to keep one's head clear, loolk at
the facts intelligently and fearlessly; and decide on
the best course of action in view of all pertinent
circumstances. The other is to give way to excite-
ment and nervous dread, and to listen to and cir-
culate false reports and rumors aggravating the
situation and making constructive action more
difficult for those who are trying to find a way
out.
Both of these attitudes were in evidence on the
campus Monday afternoon. Rumors based on thin
air 'and less chased each other frim lip to lip
faster than anyone could follow them. it was re-
ported that the University was going to close
down immediately, perhaps for years; that the
Legislature favored closing the University; that
spring vacation would be declared immediately;
that students would starve if they did not go
honie; and a thousand other equally foolish and
baseless ideas, which it can do no iood even to re-
peat here.
These rumors were passed around by a few per-
sons who may actually have been frightened and a
great many more for w'hom the wish was father
to the thought. They did nobody any good, and
they did a great deal to increase the strain under
which everybody watched for the next dews from
Washington.
But, meanwhile, the authorities of the Univer-
sity were not idle. It would have been unwise for
them to have leaned back in confidence that
everything would come out all right eventually
without their efforts, but it would have been more
unwise had they given up to the atmosphei'e about
them and made any startling announiceihents as
to University policy under conditions which then
had small chance of ever materializing and now
have much less chance. They did make tentative
plans for coping with any situation which might
arise endangering the welfare of the satdents or
otherwise affecting the University.
The story is not ended yet. The national ban
on the banks has only been loosened, not lifted,
and not even President Roosevelt himself knows
to a certainty what will happen next. But even
less do the ama te 'r prophe s around the campus
know, and it will be to the dvantage of -everuyody
if we take these whispered improbabilities in the
future- with a grain of salt.

MICIGAN SOCA!4IST ADVERTISING
To The Editor:
The article in the Daily this morning about
what they are doing about reducing the cost of
the food at Wisconsin State Univerity is inter-
esting indeed-but the fact still remains that we
are doing better than that right here at Michigan.
Last summer when the Michigan Socialist
House was organized here on the campus-the
chief purpose then and now was to reduce the
csts of living so that anyone might come and
enjoy the university training-and not have to
give up their desire for higher education be-
cause of this finanicial depression. It was decided'
if possible to serve good, wholesome, perfectly
balanced meals at a DOLLAR A WEEK PER
YERSON. With the exception of a week or two.
we have done what we set out to do. The meals
each day are perfectly balanced-the boys have
all they want to eat-no one is sick-and it is
being done at the remarkably low rate. It sounds
incredible but nevertheless it is tru-as anyone
can see by looking over the reports of our food-
buyer. I shall be very happy to help other groups
to plan their meals so that the price of food can
be reduced. It took weeks of studying, planning,
shifting menus and foods so that the combination
of foods made "health, wealth and happiness." We
do not buy our food in wholesale lots. We have
meat once a day and plenty of butter, fruit and
vegetables-no one has been ill, none of the boys
are hungry-and because we have been doing it
for such a long time-it is "old stuff" to us now-
but when I read that article I felt that the cam-
pus ought to realize that we are "making history"
as far as food is ocncerned here at our own uni-
versity.

HOROWITZ GROWN UP-
A MASTER MUSICIAN
Horowitz has grown up. The youth of the
phenomenal technique has become a great man, a
man whose firm and sane maturity as far trans-
cends the astounding virtuoso of the past as the
essential solidity of Brahis outweighs the rapid
brilliance of a Liszt. The technique is now but a
means to an end, the physical medium is just
a way to express his conception of the idea be-
hind the printed notes, and now, instead of being
ensnared' and entangled in the breath-taking
fluencies of his execution, one can almost forget
it for the absolute beauty of his performance.
A perfect technique is but a physical, and con-
sequently a temporal, command, after all-but a
musicianship like his is timeless, reaching beyond
the bonds of matter and emotion into the infinite
heights of great art. Horowitz is a classic among
pianists. There is a little of the serenity of the
ancient Greeks in the perfect control of his play-
ing, and in listening to him one gets something
of the same feeling of self-immolation that their
philosophers meant by the theory of the catharsis.
A criticism of a Horowitz concert seems next to
impossible, and a review can only be a matter of
superlatives. The Bach-Busoni transcription,
memorable for its lovely and serious Adagio' and
the firm, unhurried beauty of its Fugue, was an
unostentatious beginning, characteristic of the
whole performance, and of a program, which was
almost consistently musical rather than pianistic.
Yet, nevertheless, the range of its selections gave
him more than a chance to exhibit his command
of every phase of the art. His Haydn was a rev-
elation in itself. Many pianists have muddled
through Brahms or stormed along in Beethoven,
and got by padsably well, but only a supreme mu-
sician can play Haydn as he does. The thin, abso-
1Me classicism of the Sonata in E flat was like
an etchmig in silver.
Under his fingers. the so often exaggeirated
romanticisms of lrahms were restrained into a
char outline that was exquisitely lyric in the first
Initermezzo, and even the Paganini Variations
were, with these intelligent restrictions, quite mu-
sical. And so it was with the Chopin group. Horo-
witz's siniplicity made the long Barcarolle a work
of quiet beauty; the two Mazurkas were spirited
and lovely music, and the well knowNt Etude in F
was dashing and brilliant with the quick contrasts
and subtle shadings of his very individuil inter-
pretation. The moderns were equally interesting.
The Theatre
A DETROIT FESTIVAL
Sunday evening a successful season of plays
closed at the Bonstelle Civic Theatre in Detroit.
From November to March, for five months, De-
troit saw 19 different productions, interpreted by
such contrasting artists as Blanche Yurka, Violet
Heming, Rollo Peters, Jessie Royce Landis, Fritzi
Scheff, Geoffrey Kerr, Patricia Collinge, Ernest
Cossart, Lester Vail, Edith Barrett and Ernest
Glendinning. In addition there was the dance
recital by Miss Martha Graham-much to the
amazement and confusion of the Detroit critics,
and the enthusiasm of an audience that filled
the theatre to admire her extraordinary person-
ality in the midst of Detroit's financial debacle.
i Out of the list of 19 plays, 14 were presented
in Detroit for the first time, including five of the
plays selected last year as the 10 best plays of the
New York season. The list included works by
Philip Barry, Leslie Howard, John Van Druten,
Frederick Lonsdale, three plays by Bernard Shaw,
plays by James M. Barrie, Shakespeare, and
George du Maurier.
In addition to Martha Graham's recital, their
box-office popularity was as follows:
George du Maurier's "Peter Ibbetson" with
Rollo Peters; Shakespeare's "The Merchant of
Venice" with Blanche Yurka; Barry's "The Ani-
mal Kingdom"; "The Firebrand" with Miss Yur-
ka; Van Druten's "There's; Always Juliet" with
Violet Heming and Geoffrey Kerr; "Murray Hill"
with Raymond Hackett; Saw's "Candida" with
Edith Barrett; and Roseh Franken's "Another
Language" with Patricia Collinge. The other
plays, in order, inciuded "Little Women," "The
Ticket-of-Leave Man" with Fritzi Scheff, "Arms
and the Man," the perennial "Great Catherine,"
"The Twelve-Pound Look," Lonsdale's "The High
Road," "Bridal Wise." "The Man in Possession,"
"Best Years," "Cynara," and "The Devil Passses."
Most important, according to Robert Hender-
son, who has returned to Ann Arbor for a few
days before leaving for New York, the fiveE
months' season at the Bonstelle Theatre proved
the success of the "festival idea" in the theatre.
The system of presenting the outstanding artists
of the American theatre in the most distinguished
plays has become a definite success in Ann Arbor,
The problem was to make this same festival type
of season an equal success in a large metropolitan
city, definitely without a specialized cultured au-
dience,

Date Decided For
Bridge rTLournanient
Chairmen of the bridge tourna-
ments for men and women an-
nounced the dates for the games yes-
terday. The two chairmen are: Mar-
jorie Oostdyk, '35, chairman of the
women's tournament and Allen Mc-
Comos, '35, chairman of the men's
tournament.
The first meeting of the women
will be on Tuesday, March 14 in the
Ethel Fountain Hussey room of the
League, This meeting is for indepen-
dent women alone. As many as wish
may come, according to Miss Oost'-
dyk. The sorority tournament which
will begin on March 16 in the League
will be open to only one team from
each house. Both these tournaments
w-ill be run off under the duplicate
system.
The initial meeting of the inde-
pendent men will be held March 13
in the Union; it is also to be run off
under the duplicate system, The
elimination for the f'aternity men,
which is being conducted on the
straight elimination system.
The winners between the indepen-
dents and fraternity men will play
the winners between the independent
women and scrority women. The final
contests, however, will not be held for
a couple of weeks since the fraternity
men will probably take quite a while
running off the straight elimination
games,. according to McCombs.
Assisting MiSs Oostdyk in her plans
are: Cecelia Melody, '34, Sue Mahler,.

Popular Radio Orchestra
Proves Attraction To
Fresmlinain Class Dance
Ticket sales for the Frosh Frolic,
which will be held in the Union ball-
room on St. Patrick's day, March 17,
with Emerson Gill, Cleveland orches-
tra leader, furnishing the music,
have been continuing steadily, ac-
cording to John C. McCarthy, general
chairman.
Emerson Gill has been a pioneer
among the radio orchestras. Begin-
ning back in 1924 when radio was
looked upon by most people as a mys-
tery of mysteries, when radio tubes
cost $5 and were very hard to get,
and when chain broadcasting was
yet unheard of, Gill has been playing
regularly season after season over
Cleveland stations.
Emerson Gill's orchestra was the
first of the radio orchestras to adopt
a theme song. Back in 1923 Gill
wrote the music to a song called
"Weary," and in 1924 he adopted it
as a signature number and has been
using it ever since.
. Tickets to the Frolic are being
sold by the members of the commit-
tee and at the Hut, the Den, the Par-
rot, and the Union,

Wha ?
Swagger Stits Will Be
New Mode For Spring
Banks may close, work cease, any-
thing may and does happen, but along
comes spring and decrees carefree-
ness in apparel, and a flippant non-
chalant manner - and no depression
can withstand complete indifference.
Take the new swagger suits, for
instance. The full length coats that
close at the throat, and can negli-
gently flop for all the further fasten-
ing they get, are comfortably casual.
The skirts are much straighter in cut
than they have been all season, and
the blouses are in all varieties from
the turtle neck sweater to the plaid
best-like type. To carry out the idea
of comfort and swagger the accessor-
ies should be in harmony; flat heeled
buckskin shoes with flaps and a
crushable hat of durable felt com-
plete the ensemble nicely.
The new cape suits have a lot to do
with the carefreeness of the mode.
These capes, that are in all varieties
of lengths from elbow to full-length,
can be tossed ever so blithely over a
shoulder and have a lot of swank.
