MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1927 AN ARC LIGHT FOR A HALO A few years ago Bruce Burton might have said of George Washington, as he said of Jesus, that he is the man nobody knows. It is only in recent years that realists have made an unbiased study of our nation's first president. Myth and legend have worked tirelessly for a century and a half to make a saint of the Father of his Country. There have been many tales representing him to be a man of indomitable courage, perseverance leadership, and sterling character; there has been more which made him almost godlike. Outstanding among these are such stories of the marvelous infant as that of the cherry tree and the hatchet. Recently Rupert Hughes, W. E. Woodward and others have written biographies very upsetting to the mythical conception of Washington. Ugly biographies in some respect they are, too. They show him up as far more of a human being than a saint. They have aroused a storm of protest; indeed their authenticity is not altogether undisputed. They need not be unqualifiedly accepted; certainly they should not be accepted without careful scrutiny. But they may make us more honest concerning the lives of our national heroes. Although our first president had a few weakness, he also possessed admirable qualities. It is well to examine the available facts rationally, and to judge the man without prejudice. Without overlooking his faults, one can admire him for what he achieved. Nothing is lost by facing the truth squarely, particularly when no much of the truth is matter for pride. MEN'S INTRAMURAL Is the main purpose of men's intramural athletics to facilitate the means for having every man in the University participate in his favorite sport? Or is intramural a necessary evil demanded by the students—an evil that the athletic department has recognized by permitting one of its varsity teams to direct as a more sideline to his other duties? Results of the present intramural season show that organizing and directing competitive play for more than two thousand students is too great a responsibility for one man. If not that, the director has been negligent in his work. These mistakes reveal a lack of adequate planning: (1) Out of 10 intramural events, only three were completed by the end of the first semester. Regular and consistent, not spasmatic, intervals for physical exercise is what the students need. (2) Contents are not scheduled long enough ahead of time. The complete schedule should be made public before the sport itself begins. (3) More than a hundred handball contestants were rushed through their first round contests in one week; and although only half as many contests are played each succeeding week, a full week is given to each round. (4) The number of points scored by each team in the swimming meet and the method of scoring has been kept a secret. (5) Scoring of points in many events is retrospective on the part of the director. In many cases, it is logical and non-proportionate. For instance, many times as many points are awarded for handball as for track and field meets. (6) The entries submitted by organizations for the fall track meet are the only ones eligible for the spring meet, although many men have left school and others have entered. (7) No trophies have been awarded. (7) No trophies have been awarded or exhibited this year. (6) The intramural managers' association has not been called together or a single meeting this year. To eliminate the difficulty we offer this suggestion: Why cannot the athletic department create a part-time job for two or more varsity athletes by permitting them to manage and reference the intramural sports? Perhaps, then, intramural might be elevated to the position that it should old in University life. At the Concert By John Brownly Each all-musical veepers is an improvement on its predecessors. Yesterday there was not only a good balance between the instrumental and vocal numbers, but the latter were on the loose. It is arbitrary, of course, to compare the vocal and instrumental numbers, because the ensemble accompaniments helped make the former effective. "G Divine Redeemer" was one of the most beautiful numbers of the program, Ms. Montierff has a deep full tone, and sings with a depth of emotionality. The song was enhanced by the effectiveness of the accompanying ensemble. The vocal trio was not as interesting as the contralto solo, but it was on account of the difference in the numbers. Mrs. Sutherlin, Mr. Downing and Mr. Chrity sang effectively, the tenor evidently was still suffering to some degree from throat trouble. The instrumental ensembles were on the same plane that has been established in previous veepers. Miriam Cox again gave the program an audience start. In this instance it might be termed as a triumphal entry into an hour of music. The string trio was a beautiful meditation. Gulmun's band, the artist played by Mr. Swarthwalt, is Mr. Green. The balance between the piano and organ was well maintained throughout. It was a pleasure to hear again the "Largo" from Buch's concert for two violins. There is a feeling of happi- impart in his.continuous music. The string quartet played better yesterday than it has this year. The different parts seemed to blend better to make an effect of unity, and there was throughout the number a careful blending and use of crescendo and decrescendo in playing, feeling which the master of cromatic music inspired in this quartet. That the vepers are popular may be proved by the crowd which filled the downstairs and part of the balcony to present the program yesterday afternoon. Come in and look over me new.
