NIGHT EDITOR: GEORGE VAN VLECK zeA The Regents And Physical Education . . A MONG the innumerable reports that have been submitted to the Board of Regents during its long history, few have been so carefully prepared as the Day re- port of 1926 on physical education requirements. The reason for the amount of attention given this paper by both its authors and readers is the importance that has for many years been at- tached, at Michigan, to physical education. For the same reason, the discontent heard in some quarters today concerning physical' education re- quirements deserves careful consideration. In reviewing this dissatisfaction 'mention must be made of the appointment and work of the Sinai committee in 1932, of the poll last year of women students, and of the general sentiment of men students.. - Originally the power to determine physical edu- cation requirements was vested in the faculties : the various schools and colleges. Following the Day report; it was given by the Regents to the Board in Control of Athletics. In 1932 the Uni- iversity Council appointed a committee, headed by DW.Nathan Sinai, to examine, among other things, the admin istration of the physical education re- uirements under the athletic board. The sinai committee concluded that the Board in Control of Athletics was of necessity so taken up with its financial work in relation to athletic tickets, the stadium, the intramural building, and related matters, that it was forced to slight the matter of undergraduate physical education re- quirements for men and women. The committee therefore recommended that authority be returned to the faculties. This view was buttressed by the argument that physical education for the rank and file of students was part of their school pro- gram, and hence could most effectively be reg- ulated and administered by their respective col- leges. This part of the report is still pending with the Council.I Last year a poll was conducted among women' students on the subject. It was proved that co- eds are overwhelmingly averse to two years of physical education, and that they almost unani- mously favor a grant of credit for one year. Theyj are dissatisfied with present conditions. The men, too, are dissatisfied. Supported by the staff which administers physical education, they believe the University should prove its belief in the advisability of physical education by dignify- ing it with credit. Now the logic of this dissatisfaction points to° the question: Why is nothing done by the dis- satisfied groups? Something, in their opinions, is wrong with existing regulations. Why not peti- tion the Board in Control of Athletics for the desired changes or change? The answer is simple. No one will go to the fact that no one knows who will ultimately be authorized by the Regents to make the change. The way out of this immediate difficulty and the first step toward solution of the larger prob- lem of physical education is simple. Let the Re- gents decide who is to have authority in the mat- ter. Is it to continue with the Board in Control of Athetics? Is it to be lodged with the various fac- ulties? Is it, by any chance, going to a third body or group of bodies? Not until the Regents make this choice will it be possible to tackle the real issue-an issue in- teresting enough to have caused a poll of students and the appointment of a University Council committee. Musical Events CONCERT.OF THE BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Koussevitsky! Master program-builder! With works of Mozart, Stravinsky, and Brahms, has he made a complete symphony concert. Few peo- ple could, with only three numbers achieve a pro- gram of the scope, the artistic value, and the var- iety that Serge Koussevitsky has for this Ann Arbor performance of the Boston Symphony Or- chestra. It begins with "Eine Kleine Nachtmu- sick," a short serenade, consisting of an allegro, romance, minuet and trio, and finale," in G- major, written by Mozart. Stravinsky's "Sacre du Printemps," is next, and to close the program is Brahm's First Symphony in C-minor. The whole is an artistic achievement in itself, for it possesses contrasts, in music-forms and ideals, it has balance, it has a beginning, climax and denouement. It has finesse, made up as it is by good things but few, and it has life and color. In other words it is a representative ex- ample of what a program should be. Incidentally, in the program lies the history of symphonic music, in that the development of particular phases of that music are shown. Per- fect, form in miniature is found in the Mozart Serenade, thematic development in the Brahms, and brilliance and power of orchestral color in the Stravinsky Spring Rites. The Serenade and Symphony have no program, so that their appeal is to the ear through fine melody, familiar har- mony, and direct rhythms. Each gives to its lis- teners passages of tonal beauty easily assimilated. The Stravinsky is programmatic, each part of the Rite it belongs to. But, the element of music, per se, exists in this extremely imaginative work, as it does in the Mozart; for, Stravinsky himself says, "The idea came from the music: the music did not come from the idea. My work is archi- tectonic, not anecdotal: objective, not descrip- tive construction."' Koussevitsky is apparently trying the Euro- pean idea that audiences come to hear the music for the sake of the program. It is to be hoped that the audience Tuesday night will appreciate this, and benefit by the appetizer in the form of Mozart's Serenade. The Serenade is a festive and cheerful selec- tion for the beginning of a program. Scored orig- inally for a string ensemble, it is typical of the chamber music of the 18th century, written to order, this way for a Viennese celebration, and performed by an undetermined number of'players. The serenade, though written in 1787, the same year as his three great symphonies and two operas: "Marriage of Figaro" and "Don Giovan- ni," has the lightness and unclouded nature of Mozart's early style. His vocal training left its mark on his instrumental writing and imparted "that Mozartean, cantabile colouring," of which the second movement is a good example with its delicious little coda-cadence. This "baby" sym- phony, assuredly, has much of the charm of Mo- zart's mature writing. creen Reflections Four stars means extraordinary; three stars definitely recommended; two stars, average; one star, inferior; no stars, stay away from it. AT THE LYDIA MENDELSSOHN THEATRE "BE MINE TONIGHT" SOMETHING UNUSUAL FOR MOVIE FANS FOR MICHEL MAUS IN "MICKEY'S TOUCHDOWN' Ferraro ..................Jan Kiepura Mathilde Pategg...... Magda Schneider Koretsky ..................Sonnie Hale Mayor Pategg........... Edmund Gwenn His Wife.................Athene Seyler Ferraro's Manager ........ Betty Chester For a really enjoyable evening of movie-going, try "Be Mine Tonight," which will remain at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre two more days. And don't forget to be in your seat in time to see the best Mickey Mouse that ever struck town - "Mickey's Touchdown." For once, or possibly it is twice, the Art Ci- nema League, under Jack Seidel, a junior stu- dent in the literary college, has put away its Russian portrayals of men and machines, shelved its weird collection of German fantasies, and has brought along a highly appealing musical come- dy, featuring a Polish tenor, Jan Kiepura, whose ringing voice should prove something of a land- mark in contemporary movie producing. With little or no plot other than the thread connecting a famous European tenor, an inter- national crook, a comic Swiss mayor, his adopted daughter, and several comedians, the Gaumont and Universal men have manufactured a comic fabric that is in many ways superior to Ameri- can films of the same type, granting that in the technical realm of recording and photography there is not always presented the high standard to which American audiences are accustomed. Opposite the handsome Kiepura, who deserts his sharp-voiced feminine manager for a sojourn in the Swiss Alps, we find Sonnie Hale-a British comedian who is a cross between Buster Keaton with a smile and a dash of Edward Everett Hor- ton - and a pleasing German ingenue, Magna Schneider, in the lead feminine role. Miss Schnei- der has little to do other than smile and lend her attractiveness to the Zern setting, but Son- nie Hale is a bulwark of the show. The time- worn complications arising out of mistaken iden- tity are made new and vibrant by this charm- ing English buffoon. In all truth, until the final scenes in which Kiepura sings his way out of a police station dilemma, Hale could well be mistaken by a late-comer for the lead. But it all turns out in well-balanced fashion, with Ed- mund Gwenn as the ridiculously pompous mayor, Athene Seyler as his wife, and Betty Chester as Ferraro's manager all doing their polished best. As for Mr. Mickey Mouse, you will find him in an extremely timely role. It's football, of course, and the antics of Mr. Disney's mouse in ekeing out a 102 to 96 victory over his chesty opponents are a revelation. Mr. Mordaunt Hall, of the New York Times, advanced his belief that "it would be splendid if there were more pictures like "Be Mine To- night." Agreed. And the same to Mickey Mouse. -G.M.W., Jr. AT THE MICHIGAN "TORCH SINGER" Mimi Benton, Sally Trent. .Claudette Colbert Cummings.. . ................. Ricardo Cortez Michael............. . .... David Manners Dora................V.........Lyda Roberti Sally .........................Baby LeRoy The outstanding feature in "Torch Singer" is Claudette Colbert's singing. It's as good, if not better than many of the popular stars of to- day. "Don't Be A Cry Baby," "It's A Long Dark Night," and "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Love" are in her repertoire and the latter is good as a tune and very good as presented by Miss Col- bert. "Torch Singer" isn't as the advertisements sug- gest (few movies are) because there is quite a bit of sobbing, some sincere love (in too many movies), entertaining music, and humorous com- edy; quite a variety, indeed. The sob part of it, in the first scenes, gets on one's nerves a bit, but then the rather merry middle part, the sing- ing and humor, lend a relief so one can settle down again for some more heavy drama arising at the climax. The plot is very simple. Sally Trent is loved by rich man Michael and then he runs off to China. She tries to get along with her friend Dora but Dora loses her job. Poverty stricken she turns to Mother Angelica in a public in- stitution and gives up her baby (by the way she had one) completely and forever. She has 'a voice, however, and works her way up to become the leading torch singer in the big, bad city (one can use that in this column, too). Through a tricky situation she becomes everybody's Aunt Jemina for the Judson Pure Foods broadcast. How she regains her child (played cutely by Baby LeRoy) and also her lover is another story .'. see this amazing drama of a broken heart! Then see it mended before your very eyes! One can also see, for about the first time this season, Andy Clyde in one of his comedies that is supposed to be funny (nertz); Pit whips the Navy and Nick Lukats runs 52 whole yards to beat Indiana for the spirit of Notre Dame in the Paramount News; then Jackies Pearl, Pete Smith, Ed Wynne, Jack Dempsey, Marie Dress- ler, Jean Harlow, and Joan Crawford( Crawfish) appear in a Hollywood Review that has some witty remarks by Wheeler and Woolsey. -R.E.L. 1 I LL I' - BOSTON i ; -Sally Place.
