ELLIS BALL Vote "Yes" For East Side.Beer . . . 'f HE most controversial question that has arisen with the return of beer to Ann Arbor will be settled tomorrow. Whether or not the city should be divided by a line extend- ing from one end of the city to the other, on one side of which beer may be sold, and on the other may not, has been a subject of recurrent debate. Since long before the era of prohibition, Division Street has divided the city into East and West sides. On the West Side, beer has been permitted. On the East Side, however, beer has been pro- hibited from sale for consumption on the premises. Those who have favored the retention of the dividing line contend that the availability of beer in the campus area will be an undesirable influence on students, Those who favor the elimination of the line point out that such an attitude is exag- gerated paternalism, A survey of the prominent campuses of the country conducted by The Daily has revealed that no such effects have resulted anywhere as the opponents of the amendment have feared. After many months of agitation, the proponents of the amendment circulated petitions which, although ruled illegal on a technicality, revealed a strong sentiment for it. The council, in the face of such evidence, drew up the amendment to the charter to revoke the division line to submit to the people. It behooves the citizens of Ann Arbor to express themselves on this matter at the polls tomorrow. The council, the students, and every resident of the city await with interest the decision of the elec- torate. The question, as stated on the ballot, is cap- tioned, "Proposed Amendment of Section.88, Third Paragraph, of the Charter." It is merely a repeti- tion of the measure as it stands, omitting the sentence that refers to the dividing line. This means that if you desire to se the Division Street line eliminated, simply vote "Yes." The Daily firmly and honestly believes that a Yes vote is the right vote. Repubblcans Betray Themselves.., E FFORTS of republican publicists to make the Grand Old Party appear as the bulwark of sound money and old-fashioned American principles around which the people, to March 19, 1933; and ti also returns five per cent of their 15 per cent pay cut to government officials and employees. The bill adds $228,000,000 to the regular budget. It is an expense which neither the president nor his advisers believe advisable or warranted. Here, then, was an issue upon which the repub- licans could take a strong stand for sound finance and a balanced budget. They could come to the aid of that portion of the Democratic Party which indicated its willingness to stand by the President. They could vote to sustain the presidential veto. What actually happened? The republicans in the Senate, voting as one solid group, cast 30 votes for overriding the veto; the republicans in the House voted 97 for overriding and only two for sustaining. The conclusion is obvious enough: the Republi- can Party's high and holy howls bout sound finance, including those of the pious Simeon Fess himself, are pure political claptrap, and the party, given the opportunity, is as hell-bent for the veterans' vote as a southern church deacon for his bottle. Musical Events IS FACULTY RECITAL THIS AFTERNOON Overture to Russian Easter" ................ Rimsy-Korsakov Prelude to "Parsifal"...............Wagner University Symphony Orchestra Concerto in B-flat minor for piano and orchestra .................. Tschaikovsky Allegro non troppo e maestoso Allegro con spirito Andantino semplice Allegro con fuoco Mabel Ross Rhead and the orchestra The orchestra is under the direction of Earl V. Moore. THE mood of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Russian Eas- ter" is one not usually associated with the season. It is bizarre, itense, even pagan. In direct contrast to this is the "Prelude" to Parsifal, act one, which opens with a tranquility and dignity, rises to a climax, and returns, in the concert piece, to the original mood. Mrs. Rhead will bring the necessary intellectual and emotional approach to the performance of the Tschaikovsky Concerto, with its interesting and powerful contrasts. -W, P. BAND CONCERT TOMORROW NIGHT The Falcone brothers will share the honors on tomorrow night's band program, with Joseph Brinkman, pianist. Leonard Falcone will direct the premiere of Nicholas Falcone's arrangement of the Liszt "Hungarian Rhapsody" for piano and band, with Mr. Brinkman at the piano. Last spring the latter performed Leonard Falcone's arrangement of the Borghi Concerto in D with the band, Nicholas Falcone conducting. Other transcriptions from orchestral music will com- plete the program. VIOLINIST'S GRADUATION RECITAL Elizabeth Allsop Leslie, of Providence, Rhode Island, will appear in her graduation recital, Tuesday evening, in the Choral Union Auditorium at 8:15 p.m. Raymond Kondratowicz will act as her accompanist. ~+ S Caempus Opinion A -SA Letters published in this column should not be con- strued as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily. Anonymous communications will be disregarded. The names of communicants will, however, be re- garded as confidential upon request. Contributors are asked to be brief, confining themselves to less than 300 words if possible. BEER ENTHUSIASTS ACT IN BAD FAITH To the Editor: I want to protest against the complete mis- interpretation of at least one ministerial inter- view. I am not in favor of dispensing beer in the Union or at any place where students are accus- tomed to eat. I am not in favor of revising the city charter but in favor of further zoning ordi- nances which would restrict beer gardens to a downtown business area where they could be easily policed and supervised and so not discrimi- nate in favor of any residential area. I thought I made myself perfectly clear on both of these questions as well as the basis of my opinion. In the current beer column of March 31 I am com- pletely misinterpreted in the interest of the Daily's position on these questions. --Alfred Lee Klaer ROOSEVELT IS NOT A SOCIALIST To the Editor: It seems difficult to reconcile the apparent con- tradiction between your editorial point of view in "Mr. Farley and his Racket" that President Roose- velt has had a "constructive Socialist Program" and the declaration of faith in capitalism made by Secretary Perkins, reputedly one of the most liberal members of the cabinet. Unless the sordid interpretation of "good politician" as given in the editorial is to be stretched to cover Madame Sec- retary, this contradiction remains insoluble. Another possibility is the loose and incorrect understanding and use of "socialism" in your editorial. If Roosevelt has no socialist program the contradiction disappears and with it one can can restore both to President Roosevelt and to Secretary Perkins not only honesty and integrity of statement but also consistency and understand- ing of Socialism. Perhaps the editorial has fallen into the vulgar and common error of supposing that any hu- manitarian reformistic attempt to redistribute in- Screen Reflections AT THE MAJESTIC Plus "GEORGE WHITE'S SCANDALS" Stew ........................Cliff Edwards Kitty ...........................Alice Faye Happy .................... Jimmy Durante Jimmy .......................Rudy Vallee Created, conceived, directed by George White In spite of the lavishness of the settings and the galaxy of star names secured for "George White's Scandals," the film on the whole is rather dull and disappointing to anyone who has seen other screen musical extravaganzas, and to those who happen to have seen any of the "Scandals" on the stage. It is only fair to Mr. White to give him credit for his hard work and obviouseattempt to make this a hit film, but he seems not to have realized yet that the movies are a medium en- tirely different from the stage. While the former benefits greatly from the latter's experience, a too orthodox transposition of the material from one to the other almost inevitably retards the success of the film. Granted that there are episodes in the film which, when taken as units, make for excellent comedy, the pace or progression of the film viewed as an integrated whole is too slow, too stereo- typed, too mechanical, and too uninspired. Per- haps this reviewer did not enter into the spirit of the thing and, expecting it to live up to the praise given to it in other papers, looked for too much. This is truly possible, but don't take his word for it. Go and see for yourselves. The outline-story - for the story is really nothing but an outline - acquaints us with the stock characters of the movies: the beautiful leading lady, Miss Faye; the blue-eyed hero, Mr. Vallee; the chief comic, Mr. Durante; the juven- iles, Miss Dunbar and Cliff Edwards; and the menace, Miss Ames. There is no attempt at characterization. George White takes the role of himself. Jimmy goes ga-ga over a wealthy tobacco manufacturer's daughter, leaving Kitty broken- hearted. Mr. White reveals to him that she is only a publicity seeker who has tied up with other celebrities in the past. Jimmy sees the light, goes back to Kitty and everybody is happy and can go home and sleep it off. I'll wager .at least 10 highly priced scenario writers lay awake nights thinking this one up. Rudy Vallee is no more than a puppet. It is surprising how he can actually go through approx- imately seven and a half reels of film without registering at least the more common emotions. In my opinion, it is Cliff Edwards who steals the show with his burlesquing of Henry Laughton's characterization in "Henry the Eighth." Jimmy Durante is as usual funny, but not enough to rave about. The real revelation of the film was the position it wisely gave to Alice Faye. Here is a new young actress that can sing, dance - I beg our pardon - shake those hips, and act. When- ever she and Rudy Vallee appear together for a shot, he fades into obscurity as this young lady's personality charms and brightens up the expiring audience's faces. The film has some good musical numbers, especially a novelty called "You Nasty Man." As sung and wiggled by Miss Faye, every- one is sure to like it. -J. C. S. Collegiate Observer By BUD BERNARD A professor at Creighton University gave his classes a few hints on how to crib. He said by far the most ingenious method he ever saw was the Harvard Roll. The crib notes were typed in a roll and enclosed in a watch case so that the stem would wind the roll. The professor noticed one time that a student was looking at his watch rather frequently and winding it more frequently than seemed necessary, and at last he asked to look at the watch. The watch was harmless, but later they learned that the clever student was just clever enough to come prepared for such an emergency with two watches. * * * One of the less intelligent co-eds in Political Science at Ohio State University wanted to know if the Congressional Record was the record held by the most long-winded con- gressman. * * * Marriage is the most crowded profession in the world and the least prepared for, said a recent speaker at Miami College. If there were more preparation for it the results wouldn't be so crowded, we think. We agree with the V.P.I. Skipper that a smart girl is one who can make her com- plexion taste as good as it looks. * * * The John Hopkins News Letter tells the story of a pre-med student at Boston University who dropped biology because of incompatability. The first day the professor cut up an apple, and when finished told the class to eat the apple; the second day he cut up a watermelon and they ate that; the third day the professor brought in a cat. Add this to your list of similies: As con- ceited as a senior who works a cross word puzzle in ink. * * * Students at Bucknell are agitating to get a trained nurse in the book stores to administer smelling salts when prices are quoted. controlled, and does not provide a substantially equal income to the workers in these fields.
