Clements retires from the governing board of the University this year as a result of last Mon- day's State election, the institution will lose the active services of a man who has contributed ines-. timably to the fostering of true University ideals. Aside from his contributions toward the planning of the mere physical plant of the University, his foresight in detecting future intellectual needs has been of most noteworthy character. As a dominant member of the Committee of Five which planned the design and arrangement of the buildings erected on the campus during the era of expansion of the first part of the last decade, and as the Regent who supervised their construction, the evidence of his work is apparent on all sides. This, however, has been but a part of his accomplishment for the University. His gift of the library on South University Ave- nue-the Wliliam L. Clements Library-indicates a vision which is rare among the benefactors of any university in the land. His gift of many thou- sands of rare and now unprocurable books in American history represents the surrender of the personal possessions nearest ;his heart. The col- lection was made up, and continues to be made up, with consummate skill in the realm of both the mind and the feeling. It is constantly con- sulted by world experts and -has already taken its place as one of the leading reasons for which our University is so genuinely outstanding and de- servedly famous. Regent Clements will, of course, retain his po- sition as the controlling voice on the governing board of the Clements library. His discriminating taste and scholarship are needed, and will con- tinue to be needed, in expanding the library's col- lections. His loss to the rest of the University will be severely felt by the University Library, he :having for many years been chairman of the Regents General Library Committee. What he has done for -his University is now too great a work to be affected by personal considera- tions. Generations of Regents, presidents, facul- ties, and bodies of students may come and go, but the unique institution which he has placed in Ann Arbor will endure. Musical Events WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S VARSITY BAND CONCERT on a concert tour. If it has not doge so before, the band has proved in the last two concerts that it is a concert organization of the highest caliber and as such, we believe, would prove not only a source of pride to Michigan groups in other cities, but a distinct advertising medium for the Uni- versity. In the high schools of this and other states are numerous young musicians who could easily be induced to come to Michigan to prepare for a musical career if they only knew the ad- vantages offered them here and the quality of Michigan's musical organizations. If enough ofs them come the University would be able to offer scholarships for musicians and participants in University musical events are not paid nor do they even receive credit or any special dispensation. The cr.ying need in the Varsity Band and the University Symphony is for soloists-oboes, clar- inets, trumpets, bassoons, flutes-who would stand out above the others and still be able to work in with the rest of the organizations. When the Michigan Band has proved, as it has now, that it is an even better concert organization than a field unit-golden as is its reputation in that line-it is high time that the University recognize its value as an advertising medium.-W. S. W. Town Points By FRANCIS WAGNER The city franchise with the D.U.R. specified .that no freight cars were to be run through the city during the day. One night, five years ago, a runaway car thundered down W. Huron Street! and crashed into the Farmers' and Mechanics' bank, demolishing the building. Before the advent of the present bus system, Ann Arbor had a city street car line which ran from the Michigan Central depot, through the main Street business section and up William Street to the campus. At State Street, the line divided, one section going up North University and the other down State Street south. The two sections met at the car barn located on Lin- coln Avenue.

Hell's Bells. FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1933C Perry Discusses Bill Number 10 Y ESTERDAY, we urged students and parents of students who are resi- dents of Michigan to write to their State Repre- sentatives as soon as possible and urge them to reject House Bill Number 10, which comes up for a vote on April 11. As has been pointed out, the passage of this measure, which would cut the University's appropriation, would seriously cripple this institution. Bill Number 10 has received a great deal of un- favorable publicity throughout the state. Stuart H. Perry, writing in the Adrian Telegram, sums up the effects of the bill as follows: "In the whoopee years various absurdities were' committed in the name of progress, uplift, public' service and other fine sounding ideals. Now there' is danger that absurdities may be committed in the name of economy. We used to pooh-pooh; economy. Later we began to admit that there might be something to it after all. Then we all began to practice it with a vengeance. And finally it has been so deified by some politicians that they seem willing to sacrifice anything upon its altar, losing all sense of proportion and proper' consideration of the future.+ "A glaring example is House Bill Number 10 at Lansing which would wreck the University of Michigan and the Michigan State College. "It would have a similar effect on both insti- tutions, but let us look first at the case of the University because it is the larger and because it would suffer the more severely of the two. "Under the old mill tAx of six-tenths of a mill, operative for many years, the University in 1931 would have received somewhat. more than five million dollars, but the legislature limited its re- ceipts to $4,920,000. In the special session of 19321 the limit was reduced to $4,182,000, the rest ofI the mill tax being diverted to other purposes. House Bill Number 10 would reduce the tax from six-tenths of a mill to three-tenths with the pro- viso that the University should not receive more than TWO millions-a cut of more than fifty per cent. "And that is not all, because the bill contains a joker in the form of another proviso that even that reduced sum shall be turned over to the University only "in the proportion" that other state taxes are paid. That means that if 25 per cent of taxes are delinquent the University will get only $1,500,000; if only 50 per cent of the taxes should be collected in the caming fiscal year the University would have only one million dollars-a cut of 75 per cent.l "It is not too much to say that higher education in Michigan is at a crisis. That crisis is especially acute in the case of the University, be'cause there is where the threatened cut would be greatest and its effects most ruinous. To think of it merely as a case where an institution wants a lot of money is ver.y short-sighted. It is not the University's affair but Michigan's, for its relations to the life of the state are profound and vital. "It is the apex of the state's educational sys- tem. "It is the only institution furnishing higher education in all forms and to the fullest extent. "It establishes standards for all high schools Campus Opinion Letters published in this column should not be construed as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily.

KHALAF To The Editor: Mr. Khalaf's article in The Daily for Tuesday, April 4, is a fine estimate of the Spring Parley, but his major criticism has no validity nor ap- plication to the discussion. I would suggest that Mr. Khalaf take Economics 197, the first semes- ter of next year. In this course about 12 weeks of the semester are devoted to various forms of socialistic and communistic theories. Also, if Mr. Your Own Chap Record. Preposterous People No. 5 "Ugh, Gargoyle -- cesspool of Literatiire The Vice in the Old Village Choir. After our enthusiasm over the first 1933 con- cert of the Varsity Band, given several weeks ago, to say that Wednesday night's concert was even better might seem extravagant, but .-it is no more than a plain statement of fact. ,The band per- formed Wednesday night with a professional fin- ish that far outshone the previous performance, which, while brilliant, was spotty. The concert, particularly as regards the com- paratively unknown Borghi concerto, certainly bore out the assertion of Professor Falcone and his brother Leonard: that a military band can be a. great concert organization and that it can be made to perform concert music as brilliantly as any stringed orchestra. The Borghi piano con- certo was unquestionably the high spot of the evening, and -the band accompaniment to Profes- sor Brinkman's brilliant solo performance proved beyond doubt that Leonard Falcone-the arranger -knew what he was talking about when he said that a military .band scan perform such light, Mozart-like "chamber music" in as finished a manner as any other aggregation. So well did the concerto take with the already-enthusiastic audi- ence that Professor Brinkman was forced to take four bows and repeat the remarkable finale to the# concerto. Professor Brinkman ;himself .was elated; with the. results of the band-piano combination and, we are told, expressed to Professor Falcone the hope that it might be successfully repeated another time. Certainly Ann Arbor music lovers would regard such a repetition with pleasure. Wednesday night the band was much more under Professor Falcone's control than previously. --whatever the causes-and it was with distinct gratification that we heard the excellent modula- tion and following of tempo in the concerto. This was the first time that the Borghi opus had ever been played indoors to a band accompaniment, and there is little doubt but that its results were highly gratifying to those interested in the experi- ment. Though it should be better known because of its innate delicacy and grace, the concerto was ob- viously new to Wednesday night's audience, and undoubtedly most of the listeners were unaware that at least two minutes;of the brilliant three- minute cadenza on the piano were of Professor Brinkman's own composition, based on the orig- inal melody. That this addition to the original work but heightened its effectiveness is a tribute to Professor Brinkman's ingenuity. Too many conductors begin their programs with numbers that are merely "openers," but Professor I Falcone has the good sense to make the first number one of the important ones, and the per- formance of the overture to "The Marriage of Figaro" was definitely satisfactory. No profes- sional aggregation could have done better with the movement from the Unfinished Symphony, we believe; and we are not alone in that belief, for music authorities gave the band unstinted praise for its polished performance of the great Schu- bert work. Debussy's "Claire de Lune," difficult for even a light stringed unit because of its natural thinness and grace, was excellent. There was not a trace of "heaviness" or lagging in the entire rendition. Khalaf has further interest, let him take Eco- nomics 298. Philosophy 141 might harmonize well with this program, should Mr. Khalaf be as inter- ested in the subject as he says that he is. -E. R. Shaw, Grad. TIE WORLD WAR The following passage is by Colonel Picot, a Frenchman: "In the frightful war all of us have lost. We have been vanquished by hatred and by the spirit of evil; and now it is to youth, and especially to the youth of universities and schools of the world, that we must turn for our vindica- tion. May it work with us for Peace, and for Peace through Peace." M.

When the seed arrived he planted it. When the plants came through the ground they proved to be broccoli. Wilson knew nothing about broccoli, but he let the crop reach maturity, and then discovered that an Italian vegetable firm was willing to pay a good price for his crop. In fact, he has profited more from the seed than he did from his orange crop.-News Item. I say it's spinach and I say to hell with it. * * * SLY WINK DEPT.
