HERSHEY Going To Summer School.. .. S UMMER is the student's time to re- lax and enjoy himself. Yet there is no sense in wasting three months which could be put to excellent advantage. An ideal combination of enjoyment, relaxation, and self-improvement is offered by the University for its Summer Session. Every type of athletics which adds to a sum- mer's enjoyment will be accessible to students. The University Golf Course, always in fine condition, the Intramural swimming pool, handball courts, squash courts, basketball courts, the University tennis courts, and all the University gymnasiums will be available. Students who wish to participate in such sports as tennis, golf, and swimming, will be allowed the use of an automobile. For the first seven weeks of the eight-week session there will be frequent plays given by the Reper- tory Theater, speeches by members of the out- standing faculty, and excursions to various points of interest in this part of the state, such as the Ford Motor plant at Dearborn, the General Motors proving ground at Milford, and Put-in-Bay. Membership of the Union for men students, in the League for women students, and The Michigan Daily will be included in the tuition fee. All the facilities of both- the League and Union will be available. Dances will be given every week-end at the League. Besides many of the University's most eminent teachers, there will be 32 non-resident profes- sors on the faculty. Among the most famous vis- iting educators are Enrico Fermi, professor of the- oretical physics at Royal University of Rome, Italy, George E. Nichols, professor of botany at Yale University and Robert V. Southwell, professor of engineering science at Oxford, England. The well-equipped library of the University will be open all during the Session. Many students who have been forced to neglect their reading dur- ing the regular semesters may wisely opportune themselves by using this opportunity. Almost all the courses given in the regular semes- ters will be offered in the Summer Session. This affords the student the opportunity to make up credits or enroll in some course which is particu- larly interesting to him. Expenses are extremely low in comparison. Tui- tion will be $34. The cost of board will range The SOAP BOX Letters published in this column should not be construed as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily. Anonymous contributions will be disregarded. The names of communicants will, however, be regarded as confidential upon request. Contributors are asked to be brief, the editor reserving the right to condense all letters of over 300 words and to accept or reject letters upon the criteria of general editorial importance and interest to the campus. Pro0 To the Editor: . Although I only see The Michigan Daily infre- quently I am always interested in it and what goes on at the college. I chanced to see your issue of May 29 and was especially interested in the Soap Box department with its splendid letter from a Music Lover. I certainly agree with him (or her) that it is a shame the radio is all cluttered up with trashy music and I can understand just how he felt about hearing Wagner shamed. It seems to me that people ought to have better taste and I for one would like to see something done about it. It would have been bad enough if it had been the music of anyone else but when they desecrate the immortal Wagner that is going too far. I know just how a Music Lover felt because "Carmen" is my favorite opera and I like that kind of better music. Please consider this my vote in favor of a Mu- sical Vigilante Society. I think The Daily is to be congratulated for backing such a fine project, so please accept my thanks for one. --Mrs. James Morlandson. EDITOR'S NOTE: Wagner did not compose "Carmen." The Daily is not backing any movement for a Musical Vigilante's Society and letters to the Editor cannot be construed as expressing editorial opinion. Con To the Editor: This is to add one more lament to the wailing- wall chorus which has no doubt been aroused by your publication of Musical Vigilantes . . . in my opinion the outstanding example of pseudo-artist bombast and inane comment which I have read this year. If the individual who shields himself behind the smug, ineffectual and to-all-appearances-insin- cere title of "Music Lover" establishes himself as an arbiter of musical propriety . . . then I certainly feel qualified in rising to the defense of whatever orchestra he was attempting to describe (with such gentle charm and with what meticulous English!) In the first place, the alleged butchering of Wag- ner's "Liebestod" could not possibly be worse than the spectacle of some of or so-called symphonies attempting to produce what is known as "popular music" . . . . as they do on occasion. Secondly, the idea of popularizing classical music (irrespective of the merits of the idea) is by no means a new one, nor has it been scoffed by all of our truly great artists. I once heard the great Jenny Lind sing a popular adaptation (of that day . . . she was before your time of course) of one of the arias from La Gioconda, and you may take my word for it that it was one of the most beautiful vocal renditions of all time. Pursuing my first idea further, I cannot help wondering what Music Lover would have thought had he heard Martinelli try to sing, in operatic manner, the first three verses of "Swanee River" .. . as I did some 16 years ago in Philadelphia! I can assure you that the much-maligned rendition of "Liebestod" would have profited by comparison, no matter how badly done. I am not as young as I once was, and I am not particularly fond of what you youngsters call, I believe, "hot bands." I am very fond, however, of seeing people mind their own businesses. My sug- gestion to "Music Lover" is that he confine him- self in the future to the more innocuous pleasure of publicly "observing the first robin." I would fur- ther suggest that he throw away his radio. . . and spend just as much time annually as possible sop- ping up the "finer things" so plentifully supplied by our May Festival, the Choral Union series, etc., ad infinitum. In the meanwhile, I shall devote my own talents to organizing a personal protection group to be known as "The Society for the Prevention of Small Boys Roller-Skating past Study Windows.", -E. R. McKinlock, Cornell, '07. Pro To the Editor: Congratulations on publishing the music lover's letter! I intend reading it to my Sunday School class. I think there is so little appreciation of the finer things in this generation. In 57 years following Ann Arbor art events I think the Musical Vigilantes is the most splendid yet! Put me down, for one, as a charter member of the society. -Mrs. Minnie R. Smith. Con To the Editor: It is very amusing to me to see the letter which the Music Lover sent in. He should appreciate that not all people have the same tastes, and to some the music of Wayne King is very enjoyable. What are the dials for on his radio, anyway; if he doesn't like a station he can turn it off. I might remind Music Lover that Mr. King probably makes three times as much a day broad- casting as Music Lover does in a year, which he wouldn't do if he spent all his spare time writing letters to the editor. Let us not forget Alexander Hamilton's famous statement; "life, liberty and the pursuit of hap- piness." That means liberty for people to pursue the type of musical enjoyment they like, to viz., happiness.

Society went on trial before a jury made up of college men and women in New York recently, and was found guilty on six. Guilty of: 1. Inadequate instruction to youth on the choice of a mate. 2. Forcing youth, because of dearth of jobs, to postpone matrimony. 3. Employing workers at low wages. 4. Surrounding youth with hazards to morals, such as obscene literature and gambling devices. 5. Maintaining a harsh attitude toward former convicts. 6. Incomplete use, for recreation, of public buildings. Not guilty of: 1. Providing inadequate facilities for youth agencies. 2. Maintaining inadequate employment service. 3. Allowing racial and national prejudice to interfere with employment. The jury disagreed on the charge: society fails to give adequate sex education to young people. The Minnesota Daily remarks about the trial: "It is a creditable thing for youth to put society on trial, if -it remembers and rectifies those crit- icisms when it takes control. More creditable would be youth's putting itself on the stand. Is it preparing itself in every way possible? Is it mak- ing the most of its opportunities? Does it choose its leadership wisely? Is it forming an intelligent basis for evaluating people and movements? Is it widening the range of its perceptions?" Here is a story coming from the Cornell campus. A student, under the influence of too much liquor, was driving up to a fraternity house. There was large tree right at the curb, and he drove up with drunken ego to park the car, only succeeding in hitting the tree with a resounding thwack, and bouncing back sev- eral feet. Nothing daunted, he drove forward again, only to hit the tree once more. This went on for about ten minutes, damaging the tree and tho front of the car no end, but not fazing our bibulous friend's insistence in the least. But finally he reached the end of his tether. Utterly disgusted, he snapped off the ignition, stepped out of the car. and muttered resignedly to himself, "Sno use. Pm lost in a damn forest." A Washington BYSTANDER I!A I C j for Your Us!E at W4,R UNIVERSITY BOO KSTORE 316 SOUTH STATE I I TR ' i " h ' v , ; Ldm SII By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, May 31. SOME NEW DEAL political aides of high rank do not brush aside lightly the suggestion that a new twist of the long and dramatic affair of "Friend Frank" Roosevelt and "Friend Al" Smith may be ripening for next year. They seem none too sure, privately at least, that Smith could not be induced to head a fusion Conservative ticket and have another try at the presidency. No New Dealer will talk for publication in this vein, of course. The White House probably would step violently on the toes of any who did. Yet, privately, some fellow Democrats who have known him long believe it-possible Smith might listen to fusion candidacy proposals if they came to him strongly enough supported. If so, it will be the first instance anyone can re- call of a Smith "bolt" from party regularity. He may have been perilously near it in '32 after Roosevelt's nomination at Chicago; but in the end he teamed up and did high service in New England, New Jersey and New York for the Roose- velt-Garner ticket. LOOKING BACK over Smith's political career, it is difficult to imagine his being willing to run merely as a stalking-horse candidate, to lure Conservative Democratic votes away from "Friend Frank" next year for the purpose of opening the way to the White House for a regular Republican candidate. The first hurdle the fusionists would probably have to take in an effort to draft the brown derby to their uses would be to convince its wearer of their sincerity and that there was a real chance to elect him. He would not seem to have much to gain otherwise. Al Smith needs no advertising for-private business purposes. Something like a definite split between Eastern and Western Republicans and abandonment by eastern and Western Republicans and abandon- ment by eastern party leaders of all hope of reviv- ing the G.O.P. organization not only for '36 but even for '40, would seem to be a necessary pre- liminary to a real fusion plan to be headed by a Democratic conservative. At a guess, Smith and his intimates are getting more amusement than anything else to date out of the fusion talk. THE BUSINESS of practical politics has not changed very much since 1912, however the cast and the issues may have shifted. In that year and against the dominating personality of n n1-n,- lrr o-,nnc l1 ORarni-iramnn lrar , cf-n focmcmn-.. THE SERVEL GAS REFRIGE ATR EVERYBODY'S talking about the new noisy.
