Experts Vs.
Popular ' Apathy.
D ESPITE THE FACT that Ann Arbor
citizens are unanimously agreed
that they want an improved water supply, the pos-
sibility ofdany change in our present system seems
to be sadly remote.
There are two principal obstacles to any plan
of improvement.
First, the manner of financing a plant for either
improving the water from the present source or,for
utilizing water from the Huron, is not altogether
clear. Funds for such a venture must come from
the issuance of .either a public obligations bond
or a revenue bond. Ann Arbor has already ful-
filled its quota of public obligations bond issues,
and the legality of a revenue bond isue is now
being questioned before the State Supreme Court,
where the city is striving to obtain legal sanction
to the Sewage Disposal Plant revenue bond.
Thus there exists considerable doubt whether
the city could finance the measure.
The second obstacle is the people themselves.
The Council, cognizant of the fact that many of
their constituency hold rather strong views on the
subject, would hesitate to take it upon themselves
to decide upon the manner of the improvement
of the supply. It is likely that the matter will have
to be decided at the polls, and, even more certain
that the vote would be such that -it would make
any action impossible; for there are many among
the laity who are strongly prejudiced each way..
It should not be necessary for the people to
decide upon the manner by which the imrove-
ment should be accomplished; it should suffice
that they express their desire for some improve-
ment, and that technical experts, hired by the
city, should on the basis of their experience decide
the question of what manner is most desirable.
Although the advice of technical experts has
not been unanimous, we feel that the report of
the Board of Water Commissioners of .last year
covered the salient features of the issue so well,
that we offer selections from it for further con-
sideration.
The report was issued at the conclusion of. a
meeting which was called for the purpose of "dis-
cussing the water problem of the City with the
idea in mind of arriving at the logical solution
of the water question for all time. "Upon discussion
of the matter, it appeared to be the unanimous
opinion of all those present that a..softening and
filtration plant with the Huron River as the source
of supply was the solution of the problem.
The essential points of the report, concisely sum-
marized, are as follows:
"1. The continued use of the existing sources
ri' Yrn 1nw rn...... r.ncrJn. nrrr. . .rn . n - ~i
Both the financial injury and the public criti-
cism could be eliminated by a properly treated
supply.,
"2. The correction of this condition through
the softening of well water solely leads to an
indeterminate expense of large proportions.
The initial investment required is likely to
amount to at least $500,000, with more to
follow as the water demand increases. There
would seem to be no possibility, either now or
in the early future, of securing the necessary
funds to carry out a softened-well-water
project.
"3. The Huron River at the Barton Dam
offers the only known adequate and satisfac-.
tory source of supply which may be filtered and
softened at a reasonable and determinate cost,
estimates for this Board indicate: (a) That a
river project can be carried out, under existing
conditions, for a capital outlay of not to
exceed $335,000, including plants and mains
and, (b) That the increase in annual operating
costs to the Department, exclusive of Fixed
Charges, should not exceed $30,000; that there
is available from department funds $125,000,
and that, therefore, $210,000 additional would
be required. (c) That this additional burden
may be asumed by the department without any
increase in existing rates.
"4. The Montgomery and Barton Wells could
be utilized in connection with the proposed
plant, with no additional capital outlay in the
case of the Barton . . . but with an additional
investment in the case of the Montgomery
well of about $45,000. The added operating
costs would depend upon the amount of exist-
ing wells, but a summer use only of well water,
to improve temperatures could be carried out
without increasing rates.
"Recommendations:
"In view of the above your Board of Water
Commissioners unanimously recommend the
adoption at thi time of a plan to filter and
soften Huron River water, as the major source
of the City's supply, and for the following
reasons:
(a) It will afford a permanent and satisfac-
tory solution to the City's water problem and
at a reasonable and definite cost,
(b) The savings to the water consumers
would amount to the capital investment in not
over five years.
(c) The construction at this time of reduced
prices and unemployment is particularly de-
sirable , .
The motion was defeated in the Council, 12-1,
because of uncertain sentiments of the people, and
the matter has been dropped since.
Thus this very sensible analysis of our water
problem, along with about six others of the same
character, have been ignored despite our needs.
Dirge For
The Counci l:.. .
HE PROPOSAL for a dissolution of
the Undergraduate Council made
Thursday by the president of that body and gen-
erally assented to by other members of the organi-
zation comes as a natural result of the Council's
condition throughout the year. It is simply the
case of a very sick man dying. The death bed
struggles are made humiliatingly conspicuous by
the absence of mourners.
The truth is that student government at Mich-
igan doesn't exist. The Undergraduate Council
has no genuine power of its own. Every move that
it makes may be vetoed by higher administrative
bodies. This is true, too, of the Interfraternity
Council. It takes its orders from the Judiciary Com-
mittee. There is an attempt to pretend, of course,
that the University has student government, and
that this government is a wise and beautiful thing,
for it is the voice of the people, which, in turn, is
the voice of God. But, as long as the authority does
not really rest with the student representatives,
they cannot do a thing. They can just talk, aim-
lessly, futilely, like little children endeavoring des-
perately to convince themselves of their own
importance. They are simply puppets. They are
allowed to play parliament as long as they don't
hurt anyone.
The members of the Undergraduate Council were
rather aware of this situation all year. That was
the reason why so few of them appeared at meet-
ings. After all, as long as a meeting is meaning-
less, why go? The Council members have at last
given up the ghost. There is no longer need to
pretend that the Council is a student self-govern-
ment body. Now that the members are about to pick
up their packages and depart (amid a complete
silence), the University can look forward, quite
possibly, to a year in which the entire farce of
student government will happily be forgotten.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON CONCERT
In Review
YOUTH HAS BEEN SERVED. There was sixteen
year old Guila Bustabo, strong, sure violinist,
there was the Children's Chorus, highly-trained,
and there was the Stanley Chorus, a very young
organization, under the leadership of Margaret
Martindale, senior in the School of Music. Bustabo,
with her whizzing technique, and the young peo-
ple's chorus, with their secure training, were ex-
pected to give a good performance. Bustabo's was
fortunately more than technique. Miss Martindale
had the rare chance of conducting the principals
of the orchestra.
"In all fairness to Miss Martindale, it should
have been decided to let her direct the chorus, for
she had. done all the work and done it well," said
Eric DeLamarter yesterday afternoon, "but, the
decision,. was based on more than that, for young
Miss Martindale has leadership, plus a scholar-
ship that every conductor must have who satisfies
a musician. She has a clear beat, and, this after-
noon had full command of every situation."
DeLamarter's conducting of the Bach Concerto,
and the merry little spring symphony of Milhaud
with a chamber orchestra, makes apparent the
musicianship that is his.
FRIDAY NIGHT CONCERT
In Review
THUS FAR, the Festival has had no concert
equal to the thoroughly drilled performance
that was given last night. The Brahms Fourth
Symphony held all the elements that went into
the other sections of the program. Stock was in a
beneficent mood; his reading endowed the sym-
phony with drama in the first movement, with
song in the second, with puckish humour in the
third, and masculinity in the fourth, with its res-
onant brasses. Nouns indicate nothing, perhaps, for
the spirit, the power and the glory of the Brahms
was new. There was a richness and emotional
texture in the sound that cannot be transmitted to
those who were not there. The opening brilliance
of the Moussorgsky "Night on a Bare Mountain,"
moreover, gave a precedence to the enthusiastic
performance that went on throughout the evening.
Expecting to hear something ghoulish, or grotesque,
I heard a descriptive piece concerning spirits of
darkness that a Berlioz would have scorned. The
"Sailor's Dance," jovial and high spirited, Stock
repeated at a "slower tempo, ladies and gentle-
men" -in one section.
"Voi che sapete" won complete submission to
Lucrezia Bori. She sang it as Mozart, with all
grace and delicacy. With an entirely different kind
of voice than Ponselle's, with different tempera-
ment, Bori fits the concert stage perfectly. She is
(studiedly) artless, creating ,for us finesse and
beauty. Her manner with her student admirers, her
inclusion of Mrs. Rhead in her applause, her fem-
ininity, add to her fascination as one of the fine
singers of the world. Her accompaniment by the
orchestra, guided by Stock, enhanced her lovely
voice. We would like to know what she said to
Stock when she shook his hands so happily.
With a packed house, with such a performance,
there is every reason to be thankful that the Fes-
tival has continued in spite of obstacles.

SOULPTURE EXHIBIT AT LEAGUE
THE EXHIBITION of twenty-four subjects in
plaster and the original clay by Professor
Auard Fairbanks and his pupils is testimony of
their skill in the use of that medium. The exhibi-
tion is showing on the second floor of the Mich-
igan League.
Of the three done .by Professor Fairbanks him-
self, the most outstanding is "Dawn and Morn-
ing Glories." Dawn as a majestic goddess has a
halo of gold over her head, three human figures
and morning glories at her feet.- Lovely hues of
blue, red and blue violets, and pale yellow express
dawn. The tall slender figure is inspiringly effec-
tive.
Another beautiful figure is a bronze-finished
model of "Agriculture": a man of rugged strength
and masculine beauty in a determined pose hold-
isg some earth in his hand.
There is a group of small pixie-like creatures
which are truly decorative; and a group of larger
figures portraying. "Satyr," "Sacrifice," "Study,"
"Improvement." The curves of the body laudably
depict the mood expressed in the title.
Some unusually fine things of Helen V. Bailey's
are on exhibit.

What a difference a few thousand miles make
even in this evil called an examination. But an
evil can be lessened, and here's how it's done over
at Oxford. First, all the students who are taking
the examination light their pipes and sit around
discussing the subject for about three-quarters of
an hour. Then they start to write, but if one hap-
pens to get stuck, and Rhodes Scholars get stuck
now and then you know, he asks his neighbor who
probably knows something the inquirer doesn't. All
that is expected merely because the professors at
that distinguished place of learning don't expect
one to write on a subject they know nothing about.
Simple isn't it?

Here is an excerpt from a freshman's essay
at Georgia Tech on "Co-eds": "I'm awfully
glad there are no co-eds at Georgia Tech be-
cause they are so dangerous when wild, and
they are tantalizing when they are not wild."
Most co-eds are wild. They have big brown
eyes like a cow or some other color. In fact they
are beautiful all over usually as far as I know.
They do not wear many clothes, and I think
that would keep boys from studying if they
walked by too much. They must be mean or
else they do not know they have this effect on
the boys."
mechanical and resemble architectural drawings.
A mural, "Sketch for Michigan Industrial," by
Bennett, is an accurate representation of, fac-
tory life, yet color and pattern subserve a common
purpose.
Professor Jean Paul Slusser of the College of
Architecture has two splendid studies exhibited,
"Composition" and "Old Houses." Professor Slus-
ser's technique shows a thorough knowledge of his
medium. His style is free, bold, and totally mas-
culine.
