But the evidence that Michigan seniors, soon to graduate, are not yet able to conduct themselves I as mature adults, that they still think an alcoholic perversion of Swingout is smart would be very dis- appointing. Swingout will get its final trial next week. Let's hope that what it symbolizes in the life of Michigan seniors will be borne out by their1 conduct at the ceremony.

That is probably rather to the surprise of many of your readers who have been doing nothing but reading exposes of this particular racket in the newspapers for the past year and seeing numerous movies exposing the same racket. nThere may be some question about how late a ma can write about a subject and have his survey rate as an 'expose' but I am afraid that in this case MCarlso stoolate. It is also a mystery to me why the numbers racket should be looked upon as such a terrible thing. After all it affords amusement to its play- ers at a very low cost You can bet on the numbers all week for what it costs you to attend one movie and the return is usually as gratifying, even if it ! is nothing at all. '. It will probably shock supporters of public morals to hear that an employee of that horrible Mr. Hearst, who is so conveniently blamed for every- i thing, was one of the first to investigate the numbers game. -212 The Conning TowerJ Dark Horse Note The Hon. Marion A. Zioncheck's Our candidate for the nation's prex. How many hours is it legal to park a car on the streets and avenues of New York? We have given rup the crusade against the newspaper stands that clutter up sidewalks adjacent to subway entrances. Newspapers, we have a sinking feeling, don't want to antagonize anybody who sells copies of news- papers. Well, they print stories about traffic jams and motor accidents. Why don't they take up the subject of all-day parking? Why is virtually every street in New York narrowed by the width of two cars? Is it thought that the motor car companies are in league with the police who fail to arrestj violators? Is it the merchants of the city and the motor manufacturers who want this all-day park- ing? If we owned a newspaper --for that hypo- thetical pre-bankruptcy edition - we'd get a pho- tographer to get a picture of any street-West 40th or West 41st would do - at 11 a.m. At 4 p.m. we'd get another picture, just to see how many of the same cars hadn't budged.

Zarathustra. . 7HEN ZARATHUSTRA went one day upon the campus he was amazed to see many men building a tower and he spoke to one of the men and asked him: "Why do you build this tower?" And the workman answered: "I do not know." Then Zarathustra turned to one who was not a workman, but who carried his worldly belong- ings on his shoulder and said: "Who are you and where are you going?" "I was a professor here," answered he who was not a working man, "but I am leaving because I can make more money elsewhere." "You I advise to be a tower," said Zarathustra. Next Zarathustra spied a man who was carrying many books on his back and said to him: "What books are these that you carry on your back?" "They are books I have written," answered the bookish one. "Ah," said Zarathustra, "Then you are a pro- fessor." "No," replied he with the books, "I am an in- structor, although I have been here for 15 years, have written 10 books, and have always thought for myself." "You I advise to stop thinking for yourself and to begin saying 'yes'," said Zarathustra. When Zarathustra turned around he saw one who was a student and the student was saying, "I hate Nazis because they hate Jews." "Must I then hate you because you hate Nazis?" asked Zarathustra. A student who was very downcast passed by and Zarathustra asked: "Why are you so sad?" "I have received a grade of D in an examina- tion," answered he with the long puss. "I do not understand grade's and examination," said Zarathustra, "are they sensible?" "No," replied the student, "but they are very important." "I am afraid I do not know the answer to that one," said Zarathustra. It was now ten o'clock in the morning and Zara- thustra met a student who was in a great hurry and said to him, "Why do you hurry so?" "I am going over to that restaurant," replied the hurried one. "Do you go to the restaurant because you are hungry?" asked Zarathustra. "No," said the student, "I go to the restaurant because all the other people go there at ten o'clock; not because I am hungry." "Is that a good reason for going to a restaurant?" asked Zarathustra. But the student had hurried out of earshot. Then did Zarathustra shake his head and once more he climbed the mountain and went back to his cave and his animals. He mused for many moons upon that which he had seen and heard 1 the campus and finally said, "that is the last place on earth that we shall find the Superman." Thus spake Zarathustra.

Great preparations were going on at a small road- side inn on the outskirts of Cadiz. One of Cadiz's prominent sons was coming that day to celebrate his grandparents' wedding anniversary of 1835. Of those born in Cadiz, a great many think of Clark Gable, General Custer, and John Bingham. But to us of either Hunter blood or in-laws by the grace of God we were journeying to Cadiz from our many villages and towns to see once again our famous family hero Percy Hammond. And soon we were one of an admiring circle about him. It is always said that a man is not a hero t o his family, but this was not true of Percy. How he laughed when we told him that we had a Percy Hammond Club in Ohio, composed of admiring cousins! My husband, Robbins Hunter, could tell of the old blue clay swimming hole and Percy's collar, many inches higher than Newark, Ohio, haberdashers could boast. And of how they hung it on a convenient twig while the two cousins and Pop Hart threw water on each other. The early memories were talked over of Percy and Grandfather Hunter playing checkers, and when Percy won the old gentleman always threw checkers and board at Percy's head . . . Finally we called "Goodby until next year" and waved what proved to be our last farewell to Floss and Percy Hammond. As we turned toward the setting sun they were the last figures we saw, and the one hundredth anniversary of the marriage of Joseph and Letitia Hunter had come to an end. KATHERINE B.

Lichtenwanger Te 57th annual May Festival was brought to a close last evening with a devoutly thrilling and near perfect performance of Verdi's Manzoni Re- quiem, conducted by Dr. E. V. Moore. Of technical weaknesses there were a few, to be sure -- the chorus inevit- ably dragged a bit in the difficult fugue of the "Sanctus" and in the final chorus of the "Libera me," the sopranos frequently overbalanced the other voices, the basses sang the "Rex tremendae" in the "Dies irae" rather weakly and with poor phras- ing, and one overripe voice in the latter section protruded itself un- pleasantly at intervals. But such details appear inconsequential beside the exalted beauty and spiritual no- bility of the work and the way in which it was performed as a whole. Especially outstanding were the "Dies irae," stern and barbaric in its pro- phecy of the wrath to come, and the tender, appealing "Agnus Dei." In the latter, the blend between soloists, chorus, and orchestra produced an inspiring effect. As to the soloists themselves, it would be difficult to select one as outstanding, but Mar- tinelli's glorious voice and genuinely emotional interpretation were at their height in the "Ingemisco" of the "Dies irae" and the first part of the "Domine Jesu." The ensemble passages for the soloists were on the whole not done quite so well as the solos, but this was obviously because of the lack of adequate rehearsal. It is difficult to close without mentioning the part played by the Philadelphia Orchestra, not only in last night's performance but throughout the entire Festival. Tired and travel-,worn after their long tour, they nevertheless gave their best, not only for their own pro- grams, but in their accompaniments of the three choral works, the first two of which were entirely unknown to them. In attitude and discipline, as well as playing ability, they far exceed the orchestra of last year. May they come again, even at the expense of a traffic moratorium in the neighborhood of Hill Auditorium! By MARY JANE CLARK Surely in all the history of the art of music there has been no "first" symphony to equal that of Brahms' in display of vitality and maturity. In depth and meaning it is gigantic, and continues to outgrow and out- wit the foolish man who, in his analysis, attempts to affix a pro- gram. It is an interesting fact that the Brahms C Minor Symphony was never really known and enjoyed among the popular symphonies until the Philadelphia Orchestra, which played it last night in Hill Auditor- ium, made the first successful elec- trical recording in 1926, and this work proved to be the most satis- A Psychologist Retires ) LD AGE has taken its toll, and the famous re- searches of Dr. Sigmund Freud in psycho- analysis are over. On passing his eightieth birth- day Wednesday, the prophet of the subconscious said: "What I had to tell the world I have told. I place the last period after my work." Doubtless Freud is at last affected by the disil- lusionment of old age. Health permits him to receive but few visitors and patients, and these in the presence of his daughter, whom he considers his successor. His recent books have not been successful and have not satisfied his hopes for them since "The Psychoanalytic Encyclopedia." "What I have writ- ten later could -have been eliminated without loss," he says. "It could also have been produced by others. I wrote with an open heart and received NoiLceS SUNDAY. MAY 17, 1936 VOL.
