THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1930 PARKER'S REJECTION It was a close call for liberalism when the Senate rejected by two vote Judge Parker. Every member of the Senate voted, something that rarely happens and that shows the tremendous interest felt in the issues. The fight on Parker, following the fight on Hughes, gives encouragement to people all over the country who wish to see minorities once more in a position to be respected. Seminars Allen and Copper of Kansas both deserve credit, whether mistaken or right, for making their views on the nomination clear to the country. Allen, indeed, was more than the "alphabetical leader" of the fight for Parker. Let us hope President Hoover will realize that the Supreme Court's basis demands liberal representation. So far his appointees, both judicial and diplomatic, have represented one class—the business man. Our system of government needs all sides to be given a voice. Two Farmers injured in Warm Battle over Party Telephone Line—headline. We've heard of some pretty serious rows over the telephone, but never before of actual injuries. LONG LIVE THE KING! Westerday King George V. finished the twentieth year of his reign, and all England recognized the anniversary with great rejoicing. Today we Americans, with our customary freedom of speech, are commenting upon the affair. Our opinions are divided into two general representative classes of reaction: the one is that of derision for such an outworn institution as a monarchy, with all its pomp and mock-splendor; the other, that of awe with which even some Americans view the ancient prerogatives of royalty. Nearly all of us have some idea of the limitations that are now placed upon the British king. The deriders accept the fact for all that it implies. The worshippers of royal aristocracy on the other hand, disregard the political respect of the thing and look at the institution from the viewpoint of the king's social prominence. And both classes thus lose sight of the real importance of the British Crown and its raison d'tre. The true value of the monarchical institution lies in the fact that British subjects are so steeped in the customs of royalty that their respect for the King amounts to the same thing as their love for their native land. Thus, in spite of modern reduction of the King's powers, which formerly were so vast, still it is the King personally who represents their government to the British people. The King is a bond between people and parliament, and paradoxically enough, it is this very state of affairs that makes it possible for Great Britain to have one of the most nearly democratic governments in the world. "THOSE TERRIBLE MODERNISTS!" University men and women of today usually pride themselves on the fact that they have at this stage discarded all of the old-fashioned ideas in which they were reared. Most of us would resent the implication that w not far enough advanced beyond old-fashion to adjust ourselves to any kind of modern attitude. Nevertheless, it is probably safe to wager that not one in ten of those who heard Ime Weishaus—or as the artist himself writes: imre weishaus—play his ultra-modern program yesterday could concisely approve of such music. The ultra-modern composers of today are accused by indent writers of attempting to make music a confusion of hardness, illness and clatter. But were not Buch, Beethoven, Brahms, Wagner, and the rest of our present music-gods subjected, in their lifetimes, to similar popular criticism? A new kind of sound has entered our music. Combinations of notes never used before are now thought to be justifiable by many composers and are employed to build up a new genre of music. Because our ears are not attuned to these new sounds, and because our senses are not adjusted to the new, complicated rhythms, we condemn them as uglY and greedy them either with derivate laughter or with vexation. It remains to be seen, however, whether the music which we call ultra-modern will, during following generations, be considered as wonder- ful as we now think the compositions of that daring modernist of the 19th century. Richard Wagner. They tell you that rain puts new life into everything, and, after seeing students and instructors scurrying over the campus in a downpour, we believe it. CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION Another case in the ever-growing series of faecal citizenship-rejection-for-refusal-to-bear-arms cases has just been decided in New York. Mirie Marie Blun, a Canadian who urried American soldiers in the war, has been refused citizenship because he is not required to bear arms for the United States. Thomas Jefferson would turn over in his grave could he see today to what lengths die-hard and biased judges go in order to be foolish. Do we demand our naturalized citizens what we have never compelled our muggers to do? Commissioners, objects have ever been exempt from actual service, with at least the alternative of going to jail. In signing the Kellogg pact, America decided that war is illegal. Miss Bland, a convert to that doctrine, has been denied citizenship because she takes the pact seriously and refuses to bear arms. Under what provision should we have our various judges so construct the intentions of our country's founders? At The Concert If the School of Fine Arts continues the practice of having a composite program of different groups during class, we suggest that it be called "Busy Class." This opportunity for a person who does not have time to attend the separate concerts of the organizations, to obtain the their accomplishments in one evening. By John W. Shively There was more certainity in the movement of the Viustempia "Gonçalves" to Minser. Dorothy Kuesterlein and the orchestra performed brilliantly at the max of the evening. Miss Kuesterlein performed brilliantly and the orchestra under the direction of her brother, Dr. Minser. It is probably not the best work of the organizations, but it is representative of our own group, in some sense pitch of expectancy as they are in their own programs, and we are rather surprised to learn that a few years ago we heard from a professor of sufficient importance to attend. We learned that the absence of a trumpet which was responsible for the organ's brass section in the orchestra in "Finland," by Sibellius. It was not a great hack to the person unfamiliar with the instrument, and we have despite these few uncertainties. But it must have been disconcerting to expecting the important passages. We have never understood why a women's club club can get more response than a women's organization, and more artistically. That is exactly what happened last night. The women's organization presented its work in the blending of voices and inter-last night, even though a couple of voices were not properly restrained all the discrimination in its favor.

Each of the players played with good tone and the phrasing was properly colored. By Lela May Ensign Some time ago Irew Weishan, Hungarian exponent of ultrafamiliar music who played on the Hill yesterday, wrote an essay in which heSchool children and asked them for criticisms. One reply was 'I don't like it. I hope you never play again here.' But the listeners yesterday did not feel that way, although many selections were indeed beyond their sympathies. So the listeners two curtain calls, as the listeners indicated that they would have liked more. The first number, two short selections, were more difficult to test and contrast. If one enjoy the anonymity, the rush, the noise and discords of a modern city, surely that one piece encended unrest. The next three numbers by Bartok including a ballet and some Hungarian music, which power this school of music. The effects produced with a few notes, and the colorful contrasts were outstretched in these works, to the accuracy of a scientist pouring over his test tubes to be sure to use always the proper amount of every element from the sample. In the Hunanian舞 the rhythm was marked compared to the other selections but it has no particular characteristic in passing. The rhythm in the other selections amounted to what seemed unenhanced cadences so far as the lay When these Barkot numbers were over, which was hard to tell, he played one of his own compositions. What else did he wear? He weared frequently, for there was no indication that a number was finished other than a short pause and a short wristband. He most often as soon as not started up at the wrong place. Now and then a piece would end so durely unexpectedly that it was difficult to recall in the audience caught up by surprise. Mr. Weiwashua's own compositions were perhaps the hardest to understand, but Mr. Weiwashua insisted and executed dissonances were enough to produce a headache in the musically untrained, but Mr. Weiwashua insisted it was so dissonant or dissonance, they really were not at all. Then he told the following story that in 1829 a group of musicians played hour was such a speed that it was a physical human detritum, but today 80 miles in common is quick. This skill was plumed on the 20 mile speed of 1920.
