But the bigoted attitude of certain mesmbers of the city council has apparently sent the stui~dents out to places as bad as those which they frequented during the days of prohibition. A fight occurred at the place mentioned above the other night in which at least 10 students participated. The proprietor of the place fired at the students with a shotgun and some one might have been killed or injured. One could not conceive of such an event occur- ring in the Union or the Tavern or the College Inn. That is why The Daily believes, with the Citizens' Committee, that the present vicious 'East of Division' charter, amendment should be repealed. Let us bring beer back o' a respectable level. Let us keep students out of dives. Sign the repeal petitions if you are a registered voter of the city. -- - -- - - - -.'

AnnHarding Dan.............. ......OClive Brook Mr. Lawerance ............. Otto-Kruger Deedy ...... ...... .......Dnick Moore Ann Harding's grand ability to act is portrayed in this more or less grand picture that involves a fine cast doing some more grand acting to make it of the higher type of drama. The Harding ability to take the many types of roles that are thrust upon her is revealed in "Gallant Lady" and her human appeal in this. picture is bound to arouse your interest and sympathy. Sally Wyndham has a child by an Atlantic ocean flyer, who is killed while taking off for Bagdad, and the problem of giving up her child to a wealthy Mr. Lawerance and wife is made easy by the kind assistance of Dan, a like- able character, ex-convict, ox-doctor, whose help- ing hand wins her friendship. Interior decora- tion offers Sally a new lease on life and she be- comes a success at it. Then a trip to, Italy, on which she meets a charming Count, comes to a bit of happiness in that she spends her return, trip entertaining her son Dcedy, without his knowledge of her identity, and learns that his father is about to marry a rather hard sort of woman. A big scene. in which Sally and this woman makes it clear to her that her son can't live with such a woman and she decides to marry Mr. Lawerance. The finish is done with a light touch that is bound to please and convince one that it wasn't all for naught after all. You will enjoy; Sally and Deedy's antics while fishing, playing fireman, having general fun; the character of P3an done in a first class manner by Clive Brook; the sets in almostevery scene which are done well in every detail; Dan's conversation. with Miss Sherwood while getting Sally her job; the fine photography taken in the park scenes. Best shot; Sally and Deedy fishing. The added features have come up a bit as Paul Terry's "Three Bears" and the Two Black' Crows' last picture are both humorous. . .. that is from the usual run of humor in the theatre. -R. E. L.

Sowerby Mr. Christian and Mr. Brinkman To the Editor: This letter, sir, is conventionally addressed to you, but I hope that in it I may speak directly. and personally to as many students as possible. Young men, I have observed your academic be- havior for years, and I find that you are alto- gether too ready to believe what you hear. Par- ticularly you are too ready to believe what you wish were true, and to believe such things as are discreditable about your teachers. Let me illustrate. Having failed in a certain course, after he had done about half the required work very well and had not done the other half at all, a student told his teacher that he had understood that only the laboratory reports - the part he had done - counted in determining grades. The facts were that both parts counted, and always had. Another boy devoted three and a half pages of his final blue book to the first question, which could and should have been an- swered on half a page, and then had so little time for the last three that all he wrote on them did not fill one page. He said, being asked about this unfortunate distribution, that his English teacher had told him that one should write all he could on any examination question. The Eng- lish teacher had no right to speak thus on exam- inations in subjects not his own, if indeed he did so, and the boy, if he actually heard that statement, should not have believed it. I said in class today that if one should get an average of 95 he would be pretty sure to get A. A boy immediately asked why the requirement for A was so high. I had not said that 95 was required for A, and in fact it is not. A great many students seem to believe that the class average is a safe grade. This is a dan- gerous delusion. A boy told me not long ago that he understood that the girls were always given good marks because it did not matter if they passed courses about which they knew nothing, while for boys it was unfair to let them get into a life work for which they were unfitted or un- p-repared. So far as my experience goes, no such double standard exists. I received once a very touching letter from a student's mother. Her boy had told her, she said, that I regularly failed half my class. She pleaded for mercy. The facts are that I never failed so much as one-quarter of any class, and seldom have I failed one-eighth. But students like to believe that teachers do arbitrary and unreasonable things. A great field for false and harmful beliefs is the quality an content of courses. An otherwise intelligent boy will act upon tips and "dope" about a course given him by people who do not know enough about the course to get a passing grade. Believe me, those who get E in a course know little about it, and their opinions are untrustworthy. I al- ways announce and almost always keep consulta- tion hours. Very few people come with ques- tions about the subject, but I frequently hear of students getting help from other students - help which frequently proves rather a hindrance. I wish to recommend an analytical scepticism in the face of casual opinion. Particularly I recommend, young men, that, if you want infor- nmation, you go to headquarters to get it. Do not accept as fact vagrant and irresponsible rumor, no, not even if it is derogatory to your teachers. Confidence in such unreliable counsel is extra hazardous. W. W.

SN its injdignation at th.e in-hunan treatment acrded German Jews the Hitler government, the world is apt to Srlook the almost as harsh lot of German Cath- ics. George N. Shuster, writing in a recent sue of "The Commonweal," paints a picture of ieir- distress that dispels any fond hope that azi religious persecution might at least be con- ned in one direction. Mr. Shuster writes from monts of first hand iservation; his authority i$ vouched for by the titors of the publication in -which his article )pears. We learn from him that all public servants who bscribed before 1933 to the German Catholic sace Movement have been anathematized, po- ically, socially, and even economically, by the iw administration, for "to have been a pacifist a clear title to an economic death sentence" the hands of the new government. According to Mr. Shuster, priests are closely re- ricted in their sermon material; to preach criti- ily on a subject of a remotely political nature, 'en when political action has infringed church ghts, is to be incarcerated in a concentration' imp. Over a hundred Catholic clergymen havel en jailed to date -- and, as we might expect; ider the Hitler government, there has been only ie trial. Most serious from the point of view .of Catholi- sm and most intolerable from the point of view: the American reared in the tradition of free-± >m of religion and religious education is the; 'actical threat offered by the German govern-, ent to the educational program of the Catholic id also of other churches. Every young German virtually forced to join an official Nazi "politi- l education" group. Many of these groups op- fly oppose all churches, and many of them' quire attendance at a time that forces mem-, rs to miss church seryices. Mr. Shuster reports that as a result particu- rly of these obstacles to ,Catholic education, irnest Catholic parents have said bitterly to im that they wish "their children had never ten born."; It is not in this way that Germany will restore' erself in the respect of the world.

In f at, if you'rehavinga ny TIHE Faculty Concert today will be devoted to works for -organ and piano by two exponents of modern music: Cesar Franck and Leo Sower- by and played by Palmer Christian and Joseph Brinkman. The Belgians and French both claim ownership of Franck who, although greatly un- appreciated during his lifetime when he was pro- fessor of organ at the Paris conservatory, is now known to have definitely influenced modern har- mony and melody. Leo Sowerby, a contemporary' of our own day, is not only American but be-{ longs more explicitly to Michigan, having been born in Grand Rapids. Dr. Sowerby's "Mediaeval Poem for Organ and Piano," which brings the two artists in collabo- ration, will undoubtedly be the most interesting number on the program from the point of view of the layman. It is based on a hymn from the Liturgy of St. James and the composer has at- tempted to transpose into music the heavenly, vision imagined by the devout saint. Near the end of the piece the unembellished choral appears in the organ score and it is to be noted that the entire tone poem is a rhapsody built around this theme which, though Gregorian perhaps in style, strictly belongs to Dr. Sowerby. Ann Arbor audiences know Mr. Christian and Mr. Brinkman, each as a soloist of the finest type; it will be interesting to find how effective is their playing in the unusual ensemble of piano and organ.
