THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 23, 1936 MUSIC MINORS The symphony concert was over. The sweet young thing and her boy friend sighed with relief. The girl, however, decided she must show her artistic appreciation. Criticism is in order. "Oh," said she, "w wasn't that last piece mode-e-n?" "Yeah," the boy remarked skeptically, "but I d'just as soon hear om' play the Tiger Rag." Such is the sad state of musical understanding on this campus. Most of the student body, after learning how to crib, cram, and crack a book, will leave the Alma Mater thinking that a piceolo is one of Heiz' fifty-seven varieties. The statement of Theodore Thomas that "Popular music is familiar music" explains the student attitude. They can listen to Harlem's latest mistakes blasting every night in the week by merely turning the dial. Frequently they have the opportunity to wrestle to the noises of "Big Dog" and his menagerie. But when can they hear a symphony? In person, only twice a year; on the radio, at the moments they are most likely to be tripping a heavy fantastic elsewhere. Yearly we spend money to send the band on trips and to give it uniforms as loud as its playing. Our symphony orchestra, however, has had little encouragement. It does not even take itself seriously. It had played none of its numbers on the last program completely through before the concert itself. It is about time that students quit listening only to music that goes round and round. What we smugly call a "liberal" education is hardly complete without some comprehension of the emotional and intellectual vitality contained in notes well played. A good many skilled instrumentalists other than saxophone players lurk on the bypasses of this campus. If they were encouraged by school credits and financial backing to give successive concerts, the educational standards of this institution would grow with the appreciation of the audiences. I believe that a true appreciation of the proper classifications of men will change our war on crime from the sporting event it now is, like the annual fox hunt with all its ballyhoo. — Judge Henry S. Sweeney, Detroit. Peace in itself is not an ideal. It is a state which results from the achievement of ideals of the rule of reason, justice, and law within and among nations—Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang, archbishop of Canterbury. BATTLESHIP OR SEASLED? With the battle fleets of England and France drawn up in the Mediterranean awaiting the outcome of the League of Nation's council meeting Monday, much speculation is cast as to which should prove the more effective, the battleship or the Italian sea-ships, in case of an outbreak. For many years, many "old salts" seem to believe that the glorious days of the battleship as a prime marine vessel are over. In the January issue of the Reader's Digest, an article condensed from Review of Reviews by Richard Barry entitled "Can Britannia Rule the Waves" throws added light on the new maritime weapons that compose the Italian navy. With only several battleships, Italy has built in large numbers some "more modern" implementations of warfare, 3,000 airplanes, 100 submarines, and the most novel item, 300 sea-sleeds. These sea-sleds, or MAS, as the Italians call them, are similar to a large speed boat, are capable of 60 knots, and are manned by three picked volunteer officers, it being considered quite an honor to serve on one of them. Each MAS carrier two torpedoes which can be discharged while the boat is going at top speed. Like most high powered boats, they require skillful handling, a single lucky riffle shot would probably destroy one, but at the same time one of its torpedoes would do great damage to any super-dreadnought. As an example of the efficiency of the MAS, two of them sometime last October skimmed daintily across the bow of one of Britain's "seahogs" going south. A little later, the same two MAS crossed the battleship's stern going north. The officers thought little of the incident until a radio message from Rome informed them that the MAS just seen had crossed the Mediterranean from Sicily to Africa and back again to Sicily in the time the battleship had required to move 40 knots. As yet the supremacy of the battleship or the sea-sail has not been tested, and it is hoped that it never shall be, but nevertheless, it is important that Italy has built up a fleet of speedy MAS at much less the cost of one superdreadnought. In case of an outbreak on the Mediterranean, it is certain that Italian planes, submarines, and MAS will throw new light on sea-warfare.

THIS MINORITY OPINION Mr. Justice Stone twisted around in his scent, and blinking slightly started to read in an angry tone the minority opinion in the Hoosac Mills case involving the constitutionality of the AAA. " . . . Courts are concerned only with the power to enact statutes, not with their wisdom . . . As the present depressed state of agriculture is nation-wide in its extent and effects, there is no basis for saying that the expenditure of public money in aid of farmers is not within the specifically granted power of Congress to levy taxes to provide for the . . . 'general welfare'. The tax is unlike the penalties which were held invalid in the Child Labor tax case (cites some other cases) . . . because they were themselves the instruments of regulation by virtue of their coercive effect on matters left to the control of the States. "Here regulation, if any there be, is accomplished not by the tax but by the method by which its proceeds are expended, and would equally be accomplished by any like use of public funds, regardless of their source." Justice Stone raised his voice: "The Constitution requires that public funds shall be given for ... the promotion of the general welfare. Their expenditure usually involves payment on terms which will insure use by the selected recipients within the limits of the constitutional purpose. The power of Congress to spend is inseparable from the power of Congress to persuade." The invalidation of the AAA hinged around the argument that the money derived from the processing tax was used, because it was given as a bounty, to coerce farmers to curtail acreage. As Justice Stone pointed out, the Supreme Court should judge not, the general wisdom of the act, but whether Congress had the power to enact it. The minority pointed out that the tax itself was not coercive, but that the use made of the proceeds was. The Supreme Court had only the power to judge whether the tax itself was coercive. The use of the receipts (wisdom of the act) was not properly its legal concern. He also pointed out the obvious fact that the taxing and allotting power which Congress has, carries with it the promise of persuasion. Citing the Morrill Act for which the people were taxed and by which states establishing agricultural schools were indemnified, he showed the coercive power of the allotting function. The AAA comes under the general welfare clause of the constitution. Certainly the expenditure of public money to help the farmers is a valid interpretation of this clause. The power to tax and to spend includes the power to relieve a nationwide malaljustment. The King of Italy is a more pathetic figure than the United States Vice President. He even can't take a trip around the world and get his name in the paper for wearing cotton socks. The Cincinnati Enquirer.

JANUARY 23,1936 EVERYONE IS WITTY AND GAY IN LAND OF GENTLE PAGANS No One Grows Old and It Is Always Christmas or Summer By Elizabeth Allderdice, c.38 There is a land where all the world is merry, and cause and effect cause he power; where vice is always innocent and never ugly; where everyone is wity, or if not that, then very gay; when drunk become inspired. Then, as they are in artistry, and those who are old already are endowed with an immortal spirit of youth. To be a true citizen of this land, one must starve now and then, but when they lack food, like the saints of old, they chance on a raven to bring him food and garnish aux pommes, or perhaps, are mindfully assisted to a dinner by a banon. It is usually Christmas in this place, and when ? is not Christmas, it is summer.

He says that the library is filled with chap and shoddy volumes and he finds himself degraded every time he enters the building. Instead of serving him up cultural books they feed him trash. (They all seemed to thrive on it.) The editorial columns make a plea for the Men's Student Council to handle student funds—It seems that the school authorities by not turning over the school money to the student have fixed it so there won't be a student union. (It's a good thing they care.) The students' cultures would be about ten feet deep on the campus, instead of just being littered.) Students on the campus have made only a mengre response to the appeals of the authorities for food and clothing or the French and Belgians—(Either he student needed the clothing himself or perhaps the American girl hated Paris) but France made dress sck where it came in, and be considered provincial.)

Reward: Two students are offering $25 to the person who will find out who stole a pair of rubbers from the library. They also want to know who took a tequila from Prairie Hall. (As long as you were in their reward, I'd appreciate everything in their reward, I'd encourage finding out who took the handle from the apper on my sweater.)

These girls are young and innocent as pretty—a young child, as innocent as pretty—a young adult, as innocent, different from ours, unusual. Then, too, they are refined; one is glad to know that these gentle little pagas are refined. It must be an essential trait for the people who write about the place always make a point of this. The name of this country is Boholem. When anyone comes back from there, he always writes a book about it. That story will help you to know about the society and the city. There was once a big hurry man with a personality who made a creed of irregularity. He was as punctual to his irregularities as a New England farmer is to his dinner at twelve, and it was he, Mugger, who founded Bohlemia as surely as George Washington was Father of our country. There are some of his invented it. It was he who turned into a philanthropist, who made debach respectable, he埋伏 rebelled and was the first to put decency on the douner's stool. Before Muger's day, december had been an occasion politely ignored, but it was one of his laws that all Bohemians should mute a point of saluting decency with a thumb to the nose. Then he made some noise and said the last original word — possibly be said on the subject. A parcel of students playing praks and older men aping youth's license have been lovingly observed by pathetic foreigners. They went home and wrote this. So this Bohemian, which they fancied they dressed up in, have the old stories dressed up in a variety of forms. Now it is called "The Latin Quarter," and if a girl happens to be the author, the name of the book may be "Bilges." Black cats stalk through the pages and wicked little girls dance affuringly through the books. In each book one Join Our RENTAL LIBRARY 15c for 5 days THE BOOK NOOK 1021 Mass.

In Bohoven, there is no趴, there is no pain, there is no death. Bohémia was a kingdom that has existed more between the covers of books than anywhere else. It was not a very interesting world, except in descriptions of some popular conventions. Even the proud women of the name have to rush out and now again for a refreshing breath of respectability. One can be respecta- tious in many original ways, but Bohémia has developed a way of expressing in these ways, one cannot be sure that he is a Bohémian.

They go on a quest for Bohemia. They knock and the doors of thousands of great hotels open to them, who are invited to department stores reeling poetry. Youth hates defeat, so he calls what he has found "Bohemia." There is something end about it all—the search of a gay and lawless country. It is the old school for the ideal of youth and grace.
