TOASTED ROLL
UNBIASED,
THE BIG JAM.
When this affair of those hor-I
rid Engineers first came before the1
public eye, we glanced briefly overf
the letters that were pouring in t
and merely said complacently tox
ourselves-
BOYS WILL BE BOYS-if givenl
only half a chance, but of course,
with all these modern psycholo-
gists working on our young. in ex-
periznental kindergartens and out-.
door play-schools these days, par-;
ents are darned lucky to get back,
in the spring anything even faint-
ly resembling what they sent off
to school in the fall.
. But back to this other matter
which originally involved the En-
gine students and the Lits but has1
managed to bring in the bally old
Lawyers and will probably get
around to the Foresters and the
Dents in due season-we certainly
were mighty glad to hear from
high-minded T. H. G., "woman;
graduate student", and all her
fine ideals in yesterday's Campus
Opinion.. You know, up until this
letter came, we weren't just sure;
whether women graduated from
this school or just plain went and
married out of the class room.
Anyway, here's one that's a grad
and proud of the Lawyers, too.
Not that the Engineers aren't
gentlemen, you understand. Oh
no! Remember that "former" ac-
quaintance of Miss T. G. H.-the
one that had his views printed (and
all very gentlemanly views, too,
you may be sure-each one taken
head on and showing a fine dis-
play of (pearly white teeth gleam-
ing out at you from a ruddy coun-
tenance, bronzed by the sun, cop-
pered by the rain, brassed by the
old Engineering School itself.) You
remember him, all right. Well,
wasn't he an Engineer and a gen-
tleman- I guess so! And the
"highest type" of one too-the kind
that picks up your handkerchief
for the sixth time and still says,
"Pardon me, but did you drop this?
And he was necessarily a gentle-
man else T. G. H. would never have
had him for a friend. That's why
she wanted to express her "appre-
ciation" for him. Nowadays, find-
ing a gentleman is really a great
rarity, as anybody can tell you just
as well as T. G. H.

COURTESY NEEDED
Two evidences of discourtesy on'
the campus have been called to
our attention. Since both are os-
tensibly, mere matters of careless-
ness, it has been thought more fit-
ting to suggest a change rather.
than to attempt more drastic
methods of dealing with offenders.
The first affair concerns the lack
of attention and courtesy shown
by members of the audience to the
visiting lecturers. Whispering and
talking sometimes continues long
after the. lecture has begun, and
some individuals insist on entering
late or leaving early. These of-
fenses are especially bothersome in
the Natural Science auditorium
where the acoustics make talking,
rattling chair-arms, and walking
particularly loud and noticeable.
If there is any probability of an
early departure, it is suggested that
the lecture be not attended or a
seat near the door taken. Whis-
pering, while the speaker is in the
middle of his discourse, is abso-
lutely inexcusable in people of uni-
versity age.F
The other is that of parking in
a manner wasteful of space in the
University parking lots. The driv-
er of each car entering these
grounds is directed by an attend-
ant to a parking place. If these
directions are disobeyed, or are
heeded only partially, the result-
ing loss of room makes it difficult
to accomodate as many cars as
necessary.
This latter point might be ex-
tended, to include parking any-
where near the campus. The large
number of automobiles permitted
the students in the Summer Ses-
sion makes parking more of a
problem at this time of the year
than at any other. City and Uni-
versity regulations should be care-
fully heeded, and as little space
taken up by the parked car as
possible. This is a reasonable re-
quest involving no more effort or
trouble than the present custom.
THE RED MENACE AGAIN '
The furore that is being raised
over the alleged secret activities of
the Soviet bids fair to assume larg-'
er and larger proportions as the'
senate investigation continues. The
same hue and cry has been raised
so often in America by politicians
bent on establishing their cam-
paigns, that it will not be surpris-
ing if the public fails to show im-
mediate interest in the instant af-
fair. However, the disclosures
being made certainly seem to indi-
cate that the Soviet have been pro-
moting some sort of scheme tof
spread Soviet propaganda in this 1
"BURROW UNDERGROUND" I
--ELINOR WYLIE
When Elinor Wylie died suddenly
two years ag, the world lost one
of its great contemporaries. And
yet Mrs. Wylie was not essentially
a modern poet;. nor was her meth-
od of solving the puzzle of life par-
ticularly original. She was a class-
icist in the forms of her poetry, in
her way of living also. She was a
scorner of the ground, shunned
"the polutted flock", hated dem-
ocracy with its rabble, crowding, its
public demonstrations. She had the
snobbishness of . intellectual sup-
eriority-the only kind justifiable.
A philosopher of escape then. Her
way of flight is somewhat suggest-
ive of Shelley's. And it is only a
change in terminology that makes
Shelley's escape to the "heights of
the imagination" different from
Mrs. Wylie's plumbing of the
"depths of the inner conscious-
ness". But Mrs. Wylie was also at-
tracted by the metaphysicians,
Donne and Webster. The orderli-
ness of her retreat shows remin-
escence of their thought.
Mrs. Wylie's fame rests upon
four books of verse and four novels.
She had immediate recognition in
1921 when Nets to Catch the Wind,
a collection of poems, was publish-
ed. In reviewing the book Mr.
Untermeyer (maybe I should lie
and say it was Mr. Brown or Smith
or anything, Loue is so frightful-
ly unpopular these days) Mr. Un-
termeyer said the poems were "the
brilliance of a moonlight corus-
cating on a plain of ice." This is
a very acceptable metaphor. ]
catches with exactitude not only
the essence of these poems, but al-
so the dnes that were to follow.
Moonlight sparkling on ice is aus-
tere and pitiless, it is sifted light-
fine shaded greys, it is impersonal,
masked. Indeed one could hardly
find a better metaphor. Mrs. Wy-
lie was a stern and proud creature.
She was aloof in her consideration
of the world. Like Shilloh she was
an immortal come down from
Olympus to bless mortal lives. She
used human emotions as subject
for her writings but without sym-
pathy. She hid behind general ex-
pressions; her language showed ab-
stract percision. Personalities did
not count, she was interested in
ideas. And in all, like moonlight
on ice, hers is a very unreal pic-
ture. Its impersonality, its deli-
cate shading, its aloofness makes
it thus. The reality of life is in-
dividual, not always is it delicate,
it may be sentimental. In escap-
ing into her inner consciousness,
a into a world ordered to suit her
taste with marvelous walls so thick
that "dead nor living may shake
its strength", she has produced
because of her deliberate effort to
be objective and impersonal, a very
unnatural art product. She is a
glorious romantic like the Shelley
whom she worshipped.
But I have said Mrs. Wylie was
classic in the forms of her poetry.
This is the influence of the meta-
physicians. Though she escaped
the "common hsrd" in her thought
and living, escaped earthly rules
and orders, in the forms that she
expressed herself she was very con-
ventional. She realized perhaps
that though an Olympian she was
writing for "earthly creatures."
Her poems are pregnant with a
wealth of carefully chosen words.
She was an admiramle technician.
The forms are thoughtfully devis-
ed, her metre has a balanced grace.
The sound effects in many cases
are nothing short of marvelous
(for example, the short poem,
"Velvet Shoes", the one beginning
-"Let us walk in the white snow
In a soundless space").
Hers is 'a very unnatural way,
but if gone seriously is most mag-
nificant. If 'the furniture of the
earth is in the path, and you break
it, so much the worse for the
earth. To be proud, to keep com-
mon men at distance. To be un-
touched, to refuse fondling and
gentimentalizing. To live in se-
clusion in an apartment somewhere
on Manhattan as she did, burrow-
ing into her inner self-It is prob-
ably the secret of great poets, the
philosophy she has given us.
-If you would keep your soul
From spotted sight and sound
Live like the velvet mole
Go burrow underground.
In terms of the imagination, the
view is as old as the hills; it is the
same view that she presents mod-
ernly-escape, if you would save
yourself, escape to your inner day.

However, T. G. H. seemed to us
to be a little slighting when she
said. the quarrel was like "children
fighting over ABC blocks."' It was
over this "little wife", Miss T. G.
H.-if you'll stop to reflect, and
we'd advise you to watch out how
you refer to her or you'll be getting
the graduates into this mess, too.
And then you'll have the grads as
well as the Engines and Laws be-
coming "a practical joke", which
won't be news, certainly but which
is best left unsaid.
"And how could we get along
without our lawyers?" We'd like to
try it once, that gang of thieves.
They argued us out of demanding
restitution for paying one of their
laundry' bills last fall, and we
haven't got over it yet.
But, now that both sides have
said about everything possible and
printable, we suggest we take T.
G. H.'s suggestion and all join
hands into one big family and be
friends again. After all, we are all
sons of dear old Michigan, aren't
we, and loyal to the Regents?
Still, if that won't do, and we're
afraid it won't, in the words of our
lengthy Miss T. G. H. "what do'
alumni and friends think" of all,
this? We want your. opinions,
friends (the alumni can't think, of
course; that's why they're alumni).;
Just write us briefly and simply
(we know you will) your opinions
in this matter and we will place'
them directly into our waste-bas-s
ket.
