XLIII No. 167 ANN' ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1933 Editorials End Of A Student Council PRICE FIVE CENTS Oratorio Features Concert Thrilling Performance Of 'Belshazzar's Feast' Is Heard At May Festival Artistry Of Heifetz Highly Appreciated Stuecckgold, Bampton, And Young People's Chorus To Be Heard Today The second concert of the May Festival came to a close last night with a thrilling performance of the much heralded "Beshazzar's Feast" and the artistry of Jascha Heifetz in violin solos with the Chicago Sym- phony Orchestra. The capacity of the auditorium was nearly taxed by the large num- ber of music patrons. All seats were taken with the exception of the top- most ones in the second balcony. Chase Baromeo, an old favorite of May Festival audiences,sang the bass solo role of the oratorio with the chorus parts performed by the University Choral Union accompa- nied by the Chicago Symphony Or- chestra. Earl V. Moore, University musical director, conducted the chorus and orchestra. Palmer Chris- tion, University organist, and Mabel Rhead, pianist of the School of Music, also assisted in the perform- ance. The oratorio, composed by William Walton and played for the first time in England in 1931, has only been presented two or three times in the United States within the last few weeks. It describes the slavery of the Jews in Babylon, the handwriting on the wall, and the deliverance of the children of Israel. In addition to the Oratorio, Baro- meo sang the aria, "Confutatis Male- dictis" by Verdi. Heifetz Responds to Encore Following the intermission, Heifetz played the "Concerto for Violin, D major, Op. 77 by Brahms. He also obliged an enthusiastic audience with "1Havanaise" by Saint-Saens. Grete Stueckgold, soprano star of the Metropolitan Opera Company, will be the main attraction in to- day's concerts, singing in an all- Wagner program in commemoration of the famous composer's death 50 years ago. All numbers at the eve- ning's concert, including the pres- entations of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, will be from Wagner's works. Madame Stueckgold was born in England of German parents and has spent nearly of her life on the con- tinent. She made her operatic debut in Berlin,man Mozart's "Cosi fan Tutti," and has toured Germany, Austria, Italy, Holland, and other countries as a recitalist and has sung as soloist under the baton of the fin- est orchestra conductors of Europe. She was chosen as soloist on to- night's Wagnerian commemorative program because of her outstanding artistry in presenting Wagner's greatest works. Her beautiful sus- tained tones in the aria, "Eliza- beth's Prayer to the Virgin," from "Tannhauser" and other Wagnerian selections have received acclaim at her every appearance. Bampton to Sing in Afternoon Rose pampton, contralto, and the Young People's Festival Chorus will share honors in this afternoon's con- cert beginning at 2:30 p. m. in Hill auditorium. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra will also play, accompani- ment. Rose Bampton is one of the younger Metropolitan stars and has, attracted a great deal of attention during the past few seasons. In 1929 she came into national prominence through her solo work with the Phil- adelphia Symphony Orchestra. At the afternoon concert she will sing the aria, "Il est Doux, Il est Bon" from "Herodiade" by Massanet. The Young People's Chorus is com- posed of .300 school children under the direction of Juva Higbee, director of public school music. In addition to the cantata, "Spring Rapture," the children's chorus will sing a group of songs, "Serenade" by Tosti; "County Gardens," by Grain- ger; and "The Little Dust Man," by Brahms.

Find Corpse At Roadside Near Detroit Youth Was Shot Through Head; May BeUniversity Student, Officers Think Suit Bought Here, Trademark Shows Clues Indicate Possibility Of Murder, But Officers Hold Suicide Theory The unidentified body of a young man whom sheriff's officers believe may be a student at the University was found shot through the head by a .32 calibre bullet in a woods near the Michigan Avenue Road just over the Wayne County line about 6 p. m. yesterday. Early this morning the clues to identification included a retailer's mark of Masten and Chase, Ann Ar- bor clothiers, on the dead man's gray coat, and the monogram "R" on a white gold signet ring and two plain white linen handkerchiefs. He wore no topcoat or hat. The mannwas about five nineand one-half inches tall and had curly brown hair, a light black mustache, and light blue eyes. He was between 24 and 28 years of age, it is thought. Two shots had been fired from a gun found near the body, but only one bullet was recovered by Wayne County sheriff's officers. A theory of suicide is nevertheless entertained. New Council Plans To Be Drafted Soon Plans for organizing a new form of student government to replace the defunct Student Council were under- way yesterday as Joseph A. Bursley, dean of students, announced that he would appoint a committee of lead- ing seniors to draft a new system. The dean was in conference with many of the campus leaders today, and stated that he would make known the personnel of the commit- tee tomorrow. "There will probably be seven members on the committee," Mr. Bursley said, "and they will be sen- iors so that they may have no sel- fish interest in the type of govern- ment that is set up." The Student Council became a. dead letter Wednesday night when all the candidates refused on the eve of the election to run for office or to accept the position if elected.

From 3.2 Beer $9,139,687 Is Revenue Government Received During April WASHINGTON, May 18. - (A) - Legalized beer added $9,139,687 to the government's revenue in April when nearly every other important form of taxation showed decreases from the previous month. Collections from the $5 a barrel tax on beer brought the government $8,269,052 while the license fees of retail and wholesale dealers in the 3.2 beverage added $869,811 and the; tax on 3.2 wine beverage amounted 'to $824. While the tax on beer was only for 23 days after it became legal, if the salescontinued at the same rate the collections in a year would amount to only about $135,000,000 and under some estimates of how much revenue the government would receive from this source. Michigan's contribution to the na- tional treasury of revenue from sale of beer during April was only $1,- 522.89, as a result of delay in enact- ing the state's beer law. Of Michi- gan's contribution, $831.98 was from detail dealers at the rate of $20 per year and $720.91 from wholesale dealers at $50 per year. RESIDENCES ROBBED Two nurses residences, one at 1130 East Huron St. and the other at 200 Forest Ave., were robbed Wednesday, police report. 3.2 License Refusal . Launches A Lawsuit GRAND RAPIDS, May 18.-(W) -Archie H. Crampton, restaurant proprietor, today filed suit in Cir- cuit Court seeking to compel the City Council of Grandville toap- prove his application for a license to sell beer. The council recently refused to grant him a license, and Cramp- ton's suit quotes a ruling by the attorney general's office that local legislative bodies must have a valid reason for refusal to issue a license. Seven commissioners and City Clerk Fred Taylor are named defendants. General Wilson Reviews Local Reserve Corps Drill Prizes Are Given To Winning Units; Changes, Made In Examinations Maj.-Gen. Guy Wilson, command- ing officer of the Michigan National Guard and aide to Gov. William A. Comstock, reviewed the University, Reserve Officers Trainin Corps at a ceremony held yesterday afternoon on South Ferry Field. Decorations fom proficiency in the various fields of R. O. T. C. training were presented at this time by Gen- eral Wilson. Besides awards to the captain of the winning company, the lieutenant commanding the winning platoon, the winning squad, and the best-drilled freshmen, a gold medal was presented to Frederick S. Kohl, '34E, as the most efficient junior in the battalion. It was given by the Ann Arbor chapter of the Officers Reserve Corps. After the battalion had passed in review before the visiting officers General Wilson made a brief address in which he stressed the value of military training, stating that he felt it was an asset to any man and that he would later realize more than now its values. General Wilson stated that the students are fulfilling their obligations by insuring that they will be mentally, physically, and spirit- ually valuable to humanity. At the same time Maj. Basil D. Edwards, commandant of the Uni- versity corps, announced that all classes in the department will be dismissed today, Monday, and Tues- day, and that final examinations will be held May 22, 23, instead of May1 25 as was originally scheduled. The complete schedule will be ready by 10 a m. today, he added, and stu- dents were asked to come to R. O.1 T. C. headquarters after that time to arrange their hours for the ex- aminations. This radical change in the plans of the department was occasioned' by the possibility that all officers stationed here may be detailed for duty in other parts beforehthe or- iginal date. In the event that they are not classes will continue as usual after the examinations, Major Ed- wards said. Delegates To Resume Talks At Conference GENEVA, May 18.-(P)-Delegates of the leading nations hastened to return to Geneva tonight for the hopeful resumption tomorrow of ef- forts to break the disarmament dead- lock in the light of pronouncements by President Roosevelt and Chan- cellor Hitler of Germany. The bold initiative of the American President in appealing directly to the heads of states for immediate action to secure political peace and open the way for economic recovery is wel- comed here as opening the door to possible agreement for a genuine re- duction of fighting weapons. Plan Requiring Houses To National Secretaries' Report Are Passed By Big Margin Appoint Committee To Set Up Agency Budget, Semiannual Audit, Monthly Statement To Feature New System The Interfraternity Council last night started a movement to "strengthen the fraternity system on the Michigan campus," in the wrds of Bethel B. Kelley, '34, president, when it adopted by an almost unani- mous vote the five provisions of the report submitted last week by the committee of national fraternity sec- retaries. An amendment to the motion created a committee of three mem- bers to set up a central agency," which would act as a clearing-house. for the reports to be submitted. Although the report of the na- tional secretaries suggested that the office of the dean of students was the "logical clearing-house" for such reports, Joseph A. Bursley, dean of students, told the delegates that he would not undertake to manage the reports unless he was requested to do so by the Interfraternity Council and the Alumni Interfraternity Con- ference. Set Up Requirements The five requirements to which fraternities must now conform are as follows: (1) An acceptable audit of chap- ter accounts must be sub- mitted at the close of each semester. -(2) A monthly financial state- , ment must be submitted. (3) An operating budget must be prepared and submitted at the beginning of each se- mester. (4) An adult financial adviser must be appointed, who shall reside in Ann Arbor or vi- cinity and who is not an undergraduate. (5) At least 60 per cent of the members of each house must have a scholastic standing equal to that required for graduation. Explaining how the plan would work if passed, Joseph A. Bursley stated, before the vote was taken, that the "central agency" would refer the reports to the adult adviser in case the expenditures should exceed the budget which was submitted. Referred to Committee If no satisfactory action was taken by the adviser, the matter would be referred to the judiciary committee of the Interfraternity Council, composed of five students, three faculty mem- bers, and three non-faculty alumni, all to be members of fraternities rep- resented at Michigan, he said. The judiciary committee will then take the matter up with the national headquarters of the fraternity, recommending, if necessary, that the charter of the local chapter be with- drawn, according to the dean. Mr. Bursley said afterwards that the national fraternity secretaries had assured him that the national headquarters of houses so warned would make further action unneces- sary by the local authorities. Some Must Fail "A certain number of fraternities on every campus in the country must fade out of the picture," Mr. Bursley said, recommending that the council present a resolution to all national headquarters of Michigan fraterni- ties asking that they release any members so desiring from their fra- ternal obligations in case a local chapter should have to close its doors. No action was taken on the suggestion. The Council passed a resolution asking that the University adminis- tration extend to fratprnities the "same courtesy extended to land- ladies and tradesmen in the matter of withdrawing scholastic credits of members who have not paid their bills at the house." A committee was appointed to consult the dean on the matter. The University administration does International Advocated At Student World Peace By Pacifists Conference Growth Of Summer Sessions Discussed By Dean E. H. Kraus Forty years ago the only activities on the campus during the summer months were making repairs to buildings and cutting the lawn, while last year 4,000 students attended the Summer Session here. Such has been the phenomenal growth of "these ex- periment stations of higher educa- tion," says Dean Edward H. Kraus of the Summer Session in a supple- mentary bulletin just issued. The summer of 1893 proved to be the last period in the University's history that could be dismissed with no further comment than that the "lives of all students and teachers had been preserved." The next year the new experiment was launched versity offered courses. Students came from the 48 states of the Union, the District of Columbia, and 29 for- eign countries to attend. This development of the last 40 years has occurred at all educational institutions, both private and state, in all parts of the country, the an- nouncement says. In recent years about 400,000 have attended sum- mer sessions in the United States. Teachers are coming mdre and more to predominate among summer students. At the University here they made up 60 per cent of the total enrollment last summer, and were especially numerous in some schools and departments. A program celebrating Interna- tional Good Will Day, sponsored by the Tolstoy League, The War Resis- ters League, and The Student Chris- tian Association, was presented yes- terday in Natural Science Auditor- ium. Three Professors, a minister, an undergraduate student, and a gradu- ate student each gave ten minute speeches expressing his views on world peace and international good will. The first speaker, Prof. Roy W. Sellars of the philosophy department, stated that war was caused by inter- national anarchy. "The real causes of war are not overt reasons but con- duct arising from social conditions and lack of rules," Professor Sellars said. Prof. Bennett Weaver of the Eng- lish department gave three methods for the suppressing of war and the engendering of international good will. They were: first, Be intelligent, not passionately pacifistic; second, Learn to dig out facts and appraise them in terms of their meaning;
