ghastly creature of the night. He stumbles halt-
ingly across the campus, a picture of utter wear-
ness; climbs the library steps with great effort;
enters the study hall and drops a book listlessly.
upon the long counter. '1
This sad creature is no mere figment of the
imagination. He is a stark reality created by the
tyranny of library rules and he has countless
counterparts. Early last evening, he entered the,
library to read a book required for his sociology or
history course. Shortly after 9, he signed an over-
night slip and took the book to his room. Into
the wee hours of the morning he read to complete
his assignment. But there was to be no rest for
him. Now at 8 o'clock he is forced to return the
book.
Suppose he had not come back until 9? Then he
would have been politely informed that he was in-
debted to the library in the sum of 25 cents (price
not reduced since depression). If unable to pay
because of personal financial condition or bank
holiday, he would receive several nasty notices
and finally his grades would be withheld at the
end of the semester.
There is no apparent reason why library books
should be returned at such an early hour. No one
but a few demented bookworms could want to
read them at that time.
We believe that no book is needed back in the
library before noon, but, if library authorities
cannot mend their rules so radically, it would
surely not be difficult to set a more decent return
hour such as 10 o'clock.

Palmer Christian will present an unusually in-
teresting program this afternoon. The famous "St.
Aran's Fugue" of Bach, which derives its' name
from a thematic resemblance to the old English
hymn tune called "St. Ann," is one of the great!
est organ classics in existence. It will be followed
by the new symphony of the English organist,
Weitz, who has named each of the movements of
this work after the traditional Latin hymn theme
on which ,they were based. This symphony has a
great sweep to its structure that builds up to an
altogether thrilling climax in the last movement.
The Seven Pastels of Karg-Elert may be said to
be the outstanding contribution to organ liter-
ature, by one composer, in the realm of impres-
sionistic writing. The Mirrored Moon which will
be played today is one of the most exquisite ex-
amples of poetic music that has ever been written.
The Franck Choral in A minor has -been called
"absolute idealism set to music." This great work;,
one of the most highly inspired pieces in modern
music, opens with an ;energetic figuration which
later becomes the musical embroidery for the
choral melody and reaches heights of religious
sublimity that could only have been gained by this
idealistic genius.

hELL WEEK DANGERS!
Four years ago University officials placed a ban
on "hell week" at the campus Greek-letter houses.
Such action was taken because school heads be-
lieved the perverted spirit of playfulness and tom-
foolery was outrunning the original aims of hell
week-the instilling of ideals in its.pledges. There
would be little harm, and perhaps much good in a
hell week directed toward this purpose. However,
regardless of the action taken by the University
in an effort to abolish the ancient tradition, the
organizations secretly continue to enjoy their pet
antics throughout a half dozen or more days.
"Hell week" has lived on in many of the houses
largely because several of the members, having
gone through the same torture, humiliation and
brutality themselves, can see no cause for a let-
up. Their antics have been "glamorized" in
hearth-side talk fests.
During the next month, freshmen all over the
campus will be subject to such things as sleeping
in "gunny" sacks, trekking on road trips, carrying1
all kinds of cigarettes and gum, addressing all of,
the upperclassmen as "sir,' and inserting the po-
lite term after every word of conversation, enter-
ing their houses only through windows or back
doors, walking up the stairs backwards, carrying
rotten eggs in their hip-pockets for the entire
week and participating in many nondescript
"games." The jigsaw too has afforded aijple' op-
portunity for more midnight "torture."
Several deaths have been recorded as a result
of objectionable elements of hell week. Either hell
week should be abolished altogether or be carried
on openly in a milder form.

SUGGEST BOOING COURSE
An indispensable trait of Auburn culture, boo-
ing at basketball games, manifests one of thef
finer points of Auburn aesthetics. No game would'
be complete without such a display. No man is an
Auburn man unless he can loose a lusty boo when
the referee is not acting to suit him.
Our suggestion is that a course be taught in the'
art. No freshman is properly equipped for a col-
lege career here unless he is a booer of the first
water. Why not institute a Grand Council of
Boo(e)rs among the upperclassmen and have
them instruct the freshmen at the beginning of=
the year?
Not only does booing exhibit one of the finer
instincts of the Auburn man, but it also displays'
a lofty regard for good manners. The referee must
feel booeyed-up when the mob howls at him. It'
makes him realize the innate good sportsmanship
of the spectators. -Auburn Plainsman'

"When I entered my career as an editor, I was
impressed by finding that my colleagues in the
editorial room, who never thought of teaching me
anything, taught me everything; whereas my pro-
fessors at the university, who were paid to teach
me, had taught me almost nothing. With my
business associates I worked elbow-o-elbow, desk
to desk. With my instructors, I had had no rela-
tionship save in the most formal way. The lecture
system is a process by which the contents of the
professor's notebook are transferred by means of
a fountain pen to the student's notebook, without
having passed through the brain of either. As for
recitation, if anything is to be learned, it is the
student who should question the teacher, not
the teacher the student. Did anybody ever get an
education by being a sponge?"
Thaticonstitutes a rather wholesale indictment
of an educational system, which, with the possible
exception of the seminar, is practically 100 Per-
cent existent here.
Mr. Holt stresses the idea that fact accumula-
tion is impossible under the present educational
regime. Whether the personal "contacts" made on
campus are of sufflicient value to counteract the
impotent lecture-recitation-bluebook regime is
doubtful. No less a personage than President
Alexander G. Ruthven has on more than one oc-
casion emphasized the lasting value of student
friendships, as opposed to the more effervescent
formal learning, which is popularly supposed to
fade away 95 per cent within a few years after
graduation.
The lecture and recitation system subtends an-
other and greater evil, that of note-taking.
Fear of inability to commit to memory a given
recitation assignment, or fear of inability to re-
tain certain facts until examination time by other
means than the fountain pen results in mass
note-taking. And notes are invariably burned or
otherwise destroyed at the end of the semester.
Is that worth our $100 fees?
Those who have made education problems a life
study prophesy great upheavals in the present
"sponge" lecture-recitation system. Perhaps the
editorial room association which Mr. Holt found
so helpful may be made the basis of learning
through contact, rather than a temporary soak-
ing-up.

"ANOTHER LANGUAGE"
ENDS CIVIC SEASON'
By GEORGE SPELVIN
"Another Language' made theatrical history inE
New York by running a solid year in one of the
worst seasons Broadway has known. Now De-
troiters are applauding the show into a second
week with Patricia Collinge and Lester Vail star-,
ring in the last bill of the season at the Bon-
stelle Civic Theatre. It will continue through next
week.
Miss Collinge and Mr. Vail as Stella and Vic
Hallam are the youngest married pair of a
trouble-ridden family. Miss Collinge brings to the
role of the young wife, trying desperately to save
her husband from family despotism, one of the
brightest talents as a comedienne in the theatre.
She was starred with Francis Lederer this fall in
the New York production of "Autumn Crocus,"
was one of the outstanding guest artists of the
Ann Arbor dramatic season last spring, and scored
a brilliant hit with Joseph Schildkraut in the re-
cent Broadway run of "The Affairs of Anatol."
Mr. Vail's return will be good news to the many
friends he won during the first three weeks at
the Civic Theatre this fall. As the youngest of
the four Hallam boys, his role is that of a man
torn between conflicting loyalties, the tyranny of
a despotic mother, and love for his young wife
fighting the family ties. As Mother Hallam, who
rules the destinies of her sons and their wives
with a tyranny of sweet sarcasm and fainting
spells, Helen Ray has another such role as the
dominating mother she played in "Best Years."
Robert Henderson will be Jerry, Stella's nephew
who bears an intense and tender love for his
beautiful aunt. Also in the cast will be Ainsworth
Arnold, Francis Compton, Amy Loomis, Howard
Phillips, Mildred Todd' and Alan Handley.
Editorial Comment
INTENT TO KILL
"If the Mayor dies, Zangara, already under an
80-year sentence for attempted murder, will be
charged with murder, which carries the death
penalty." This sentence, taken from a news des-
patch from Miami, seems, from an ethical view-
point, to strike a definite note of injustice. For
when the crazed assailant of Mr. Roosevelt wildly
fired his pistol, he, by his own admission, had
every intention of murdering the President-elect
