THE MICHIGAI DAILY [IIGAN DAILY . .^' argue against its flagrant injustice. If a speaker, for instance, maligned the character and reputa- tion of a person, and a newspaper, mindful of the libel and slander laws, softened his words in , reporting them, the paper could under Repre- a entative Grajewski's bill be fined and not thanked for its trouble. Fortunately, no one is considering the proposed measure very seriously. Whatever significance is being attached to it is owing to its demonstration, n the words of the Adrian Daily Telegram, of the "extreme depths to which the mental incom- petence of one honored by election to a state legislature can descend."' ' . -' , Musical Events LOUIS FINK--VIOLINTST- Some earnest seeker of knowledge once asked which was the hardest musical instrument-the piano or the violin. The answer was, "The piano -because you play it with both hands." It would have been so nice if the violin had been a one- handed instrument last night. Mr. Fink has a very creditable bowing arm. His spicattos "spic" and his legato passages were made smooth and flowing by a wise use of his flexible wrist. Mr. Fink un- doubtedly feels his music. His tone was particu- larly effective on the higher positions on the "g" string. One felt that he sensed the dramatic qual- ities lying behind the note-decorated staff. But, since the thin dark beginning of man's unre- corded time it has been given only to a few-a chosen and accursed few-to express them. -Kathleen Murphy TYPEWRITERS - PORTABLE DINE ON MOTHER'S DAY AT New, Seoond.Ha d, Rebilt, amith-Corona, Noiseless, Under ioyl, RaningoThh ar hstn *jtra - 314 S. tate St., Ann Arbor.

FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1933 Co-Operate With The Fraternity COmnittee . T HE ARRIVAL of a fact-finding committee to investigate the fra- ternity situation here shows how serious condi- tions are considered by those who are aware of them. Dean Joseph A. Bursley and other men who are in touch with the fraternities predicted last fall that as many as twelve houses will be forced off the campus before school opens next September. Malcolm C. Sewell, head of the committee which was appointed at a convention of secretaries of national fraternities and college deans, stated at the Interfraternity Council meeting Wednesday night that there is room for approximately 41 houses on the campus. . . The comlittee is now carrying on an investiga- tion with the hope of finding a way to combine some of the weaker houses or eliminate those for which there is no hope of success. Their work can only be successful if the various houses will supply them with the necessary information which they are after. It is to the benefit of all houses to co-operate with them in every way possible, for this committee will be in a position to make recommendations after the completion of their in- vestigation which should prove to be extremely valuable to the various houses next year. Let Us Be Generous Tonight. . R EMEMBER the Good-Will Fund tonight, The managements of the Michigan and Ma- jestic theatres have displayed the same mag- nanimity that they have shown in past .years by setting aside two hours tonight for the presenta- tion of a "free show." However, this year the students attending the show will be asked to con- tribute a small sum to the Student Good-Will Fund. The effects of depression have changed the local situation from anything like what it has been in any other years. Many students are suf- fering acutely from the effects of the economic distress. Those attending the show tonight will be asked to be magnanimous .in return. They will be asked to give something as well as having sonething given to them. A generous attitude on the part of the students will be expected. Grajewski Introduces An Absurd Bill.. . i 4..

AT THIE MICHIGAN "A BEDTIME STORY" *THE CHEVALIER PERSONALITY BECOMES A LITTLE TEDIOUS Maurice Chevalier's smile and effervescent per- sonality were engaging in his first few pictures, but unless he starts to do something besides smile and sing poor songs he is going to lose his fol- lowing. This picture follows the regular Chevalier rou- tine of Maurice Chevalier and a lot of beautiful girls for him to make love to. The new element in this picture, which the producers no doubt hoped would save .it, is an abandoned baby-one year old-which he finds in his car and takes home with him. Helen Twelvetrees does well in the show and there is one good song "In the Spring in the Park in Paree." The rest of the songs, however, depend' on the Chevalier personality to put them across and it is insufficient. The formula will have to be changed if the producers hope to continue to draw capacity crowds to see that famous lower lip. --- - - - -- ---* Campus Opinion Letters published in this column should not be construed as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily.

To the Editor: It will, I think, be agreed by those who listened to the first open-air band concert of the season that the programme was excellent; but it must be agreed, too, that the presence of hordes of bar- barian skaters marred the evening's entertain- ment. Could it not be assured at future concerts that those who wish to exercise to music be re- quired to skate on paths furthest from the library, that those who wish to show off their skill in public go down Main Street, and those who are merely young and irresponsible be kept at home? * -, -- - - - - -- -- - - - '-- "C,' Editorial Comment Mi - PRINTED LECTURE NOTES- The question of printed lecture notes has been raised again in the columns of the Daily Prince- tonian. Clearly the outstanding argument in fa- vor of the plan is that it would free students from the distracting task of writing notes while the lec- turer was speaking and thus allow them to pay keener attention to the professor's ideas. Numerous objections to the proposal have, of I course, been suggested and some of them are rea- sonable. One of these-the matter of expense- is insignificant. A second-that often a professor does not know far enough in advance what he is going to say in his talks-would be a real obstacle in only a limited number of courses. The argu- ment that note-taking should be retained for its value in providing mental discipline has some validity, but it appears to be principally an ob- jection raised by those who oppose the change for other reasons. Another point-that students would use printed notes as an excuse for not concentrating on the lectures-merely emphasizes the fact that the system would have to be ad- ministered with discretion; certainly the pub- lished notes should not be so complete as to con- stitute complete digests of the year's work. It is to be expected that the change would bring with it some disadvantages, but if they were out- weighed by its benefits, the system would be jus- tified. Experimentation would give new light upon this point. Certainly the aims of the printed lec- tures notes proposal are in keeping with the pres- ent trend toward maturity in education. The only question is: are we mature enough to employ the plan profitably? -Yale Daily News 77---- 1 1I Complete Lunches at 25c. . Dinners 35c - 50c SPECIALS from 15c to 30c Also a la carte.

The Theatre "MURRAY IIILL" AT LYDIA MENDELSSOHN By GEORGE SPELVIN Once before we saw "Murray Hill," and while we at all times have been willing to admit that Leslie Howard, its author, succeeded in fabricat- ing an outstandingly robust and rollicking farce, we have also had a sort of bad taste in the mouth about the thing. That is probably because "Mur- i ray Hill" depends for a large part of its humor on the antics of a peculiarly plastered gentleman in tails and because of the unfortunate fact that very few comics do their drunk scenes well. And so we went to Lydia Mendelssohn last night just a little worried about the whole busi- ness. Obviously there can be nothing worse than a student actor doing a drunk part badly. No such deplorable condition, however, arose last night. Clearly two things had happened. In the first plye, Ainsworth Arnold, of the Dramatic Festival company and director of "Murray Hill" for Comedy Club, had worked hard and well; in the second, Hobert Skidmore, who first at- tracted our attention with a ludicrous bit in "Three Times the Hour," took that direction and applied it intelligently to his amazing bent for comedy. And, since a production of "Murray Hill" will be a hit or a flop depending almost entirely upon the drunk scenes of the character Worth- ington Smythe, last night's performance went over. Of course there were contributing factors. The fact that among them was Billee Johnson doesn't change the fact that they were merely contribut- ing factors a bit. Miss Johnson, as Elizabeth Tweedle, kept up what has almost become a tra- dition-in these parts. If you want to know how we liked her, go to the files and read all the nice things we've said about her in the past. Robert Hogg, with the responsibility of holding up another dashing young juvenile part, gave what was no doubt his best performance to date last night-if he doesn't look out he'll be an hon- est-to-gosh actor yet. Not to make particular mention of Comedy Club's set and costumes for this show would be gross negligence indeed. The outmoded garb of the ladies was a triumph of costuming in itself, while the set was the essence of old-fashioned dignity. Town Points There is only one eating place located on the west side of Division St., boundary line of the beer ban zone. The Indian influence in Ann Arbor history is shown in the names of some of the streets: Hu- ron, Washtenaw, Onondaga, Seneca, Awixa, In- dianola, Pontiac, Pottawatamie. The Pottawa- tamie trail is more commonly known as the River Road. The famous streets of other cities are repre- sented in the names of Ann Arbor thoroughfares. There is State St., Broadway, Wall Street, Wil- liam St. (Wilhelnstrasse), Michigan Avenue.

Figures compiled by Dr. John C. Phillips of Harvard University shows the number of children per graduate for the period covering the last fifty years for this university to be 1.54. Similar studies conducted among Vassar, Smith, and Mt. Holyoke graduates indicate a like condition for these women's colleges. To perpetuate any group of people a birth rate of at least 3. is necessary. The obvious eventuality seems to be racial suicide for the superior group of the American population. All things considered, the records compiled by reliable authorities indicate that college women are physically as sound as others, and are equally able to bear childern. There is no evidence that the intellectual women who do not marry are the disgenic type, the kind who would not make good mothers, as some would have us believe. On' the contrary, observations seem to prove that those who combine keen intellects with an equable temperament make the best mothers. The main obstacles to increased child-bearing among this group are the preferences for careers over family life, and the belief in the necessity of --By Karl Seiffert--- The anthem of the 250,000 unemployed recent- ly transferred from the welfare lists to the refor- estation army will probably be "Farewell to Alms." *~ * * According to statistics, there are approximately 5,000,000 illiterate adults in the United States.
