STOCK PLA YS MASON'S SECONDSYMPHONY; UNIVERSITY GROUPOFFERS STANDARD'PROGRAMNew Orchestra Starts onCareer; Full HouseApplauds WorkLast night at Mandel hall the newmusic department of the Universitylaunched on its public career before :a large audience. The occasion was 'the first concert of the first orches- *tra ever to bear the name of tl^i iUniversity, to be conducted by aprofes.«or of music in the University, :and to be made up of students of the jschool. As such it was a promise Iand a forecast and a projection, morethan a thing finished and completed, jand its promise was most brilliant |and gratifying. |It was brilliant and gratifying for Itwo reasons—first, because the Uni¬versity has secured the right manfor the professor’s and conductor’sjob, and second because the historyof the rehearsals behind this concertshows that some students of the ■University of Chicago love music, andare willing to work hard and longand well to prepare a respectableperformance of a respectable pro¬gram of symphonic works. The or¬chestra played into Bricken’s hand,and so his lively interpretationscame through to the audience. Only ;a well trained group of players can !so uniformly mirror the conductor’s ‘intention, for a scratch amateur or- jchestra cannot become its leader’sinstrument, no matter with whatpassionate gestures he waves hisstick.

FRANKENSTEINFrederick Stock’s program atMandel Hall yesterday afternoon leftthe path of the tried and true re¬pertory for a long and somewhatproblematical half hour. The de¬gression consisted of Daniel Greg¬ory Mason’s second symphony,which received its first performanceat the hands of Mr. Stock at Orches¬tra hall about a month ago. A fewdays after this first performanceProefssor Mason delivered a lectureon this campus in which he revealedthe strength and the weakness ofDaniel Gregory Mason. The an¬nounced subject of that lecture was“The Symphony in Modern Music.”The musical examples played by theprofessor on that occasion weredrawn from the works of Beethoven,(died 1827) Schumann, (died 1857)Franck, (died 1890) and DanielGregory Mason.Perhaps the final commentary onMason’s music is the fact that thecomposer, although he possesses nodegree higher than that of Masterof Arts, is universally called “Doc¬tor.” At any rate his .second Sym¬phony reminds me of a story th|at(that used to be whispered aroundthe concert halls of New' York aboutquite another American composer.’Fhe story was to the effect that amusician living in Paris with his(Continued on page 3)PRESENT PAGEANTIN CHAPE SUNDAY REIEF FUNDS FINDJOBSFOR STUDENTSCampus Organizations Give Kennan Fills Full and Part-Christmas Play Time Positions“.4 Mystery for Christmas,” done 'in the medieval manner and combin¬ing the talent of the University choir,Dramatic association.

She resented this and thesalesman was much taken aback.” It turned out that this girlwas the identical twin of a girl with whom the salesman wasfamiliar.Assitant professor Fred Millett, in his course on Englishdrama, was discussing Shakespeare’s play, A MidsummerNight's Dream and his mastery of the fanciful, etheral vein.“However,” he commented, “the effect is ruined by the sightof oversize ladies lumbering about in cheese cloth.” Mirror Candidates!

QUADRANGLE CLUB SERVESAS RENDEZVOUS FOR FACULTYSMOKING IN COBB AGAINA vigorous campaign to scotch smoking in theI classrooms and halls of Cobb is conducted period-I ically by the University, without more than tem¬porary success. Last spring, the campaign thenj conducted resulted in the erection of the present! handsome signs to be observed on each floor, ;and in a noticeable decrease in the smoking itself;I this fall, disregard of the signs and student smok-I ing in the halls has been on the increase.The facts are these: Cobb hall, the oldest build¬ing on the campus, is notoriously not fireproof,and there is a certain danger attached to smokingin its rooms and halls. Smoking there also re¬sults, on account of the great number of studentswho have classes there, in the halls being perpetu-! ally littered with matches, ashes, and cigarettebutts. From a practical and an esthetic point ofI view, the habit of smoking in Cobb is to be de-; plored.—L. N. R., Jr.Wednesday, December 16, 1931OPPORTUNITYCarl Sandburg’s appearance at the University 'this evening on the lecture program of the Wil¬liam Vaughn Moody foundation reminds forciblythose who care to think about it of th'e tremend- |ously important cultural opportunities the Univer¬sity offers students, without charge. Many havedrawn for themselves the conclusion, startling tothemselves, that it is possible to get the equivalentof a college education without the necessity ofpaying any tuition, merely by a diligent improve¬ment of the privileges offered here free of charge, jtogether with a nominal amount of careful and ^well-chosen reading.Present business conditions have, of course, ]affected the University; one direct result has beena lessening in the number of such free publiclectures, but Today on the Quadrangles ” stilllists from four to ten lectures, concerts, readings,or meeting of departmental clubs and societiesdaily. Every undergraduate, on the average, isinterested to some extent in at least one of theseactivities each day; yet the surprising intellectualmyopia of the average undergraduate—which willslowly disappear, we hope, following the advent >of the new plan—is such that attendance at these 'affairs is small. !

The visitors’s bookon the table in this room is filledjwith the signatures of notables whohave stayed in this special suitewhile visiting or lecturing on thecampus. A Belgian ambassador,many foreign scholars, the Univer¬sity preachers who come to the cam¬pus each week-end, and many othershave placed their names in this lit¬tle book.Dances are frequently held at theclub, and within a few days the great event of the year-^—the Christ¬mas Revels—will be staged on twoevenings.

We are told of the Chaosclub—composed of full professorswho meet whenever a noted author¬ity on some subject is visiting o$ithe campus. And there is the Xclub of younger faculty men—theymeet once a week and discuss eachother’s research work.Perhaps this is the outstandingcharacteristic of the Quadrangleclub—this atmosphere of mutual, in¬tellectual give and take. Here, theprofessor from the Sociology depart¬ment learns of the Law school’s in¬terpretation of a new problem; herethe Physical scientist lunches andchats with the theologian. It wasPresident Harper’s belief that sucha club would bring his faculty mem¬bers out of their isolated depart¬ments and into an atmosphere ofrelaxation and play, placing them to¬gether and under each other’s influ¬ence.

A case in point is the recent ■symposium on “Professors at Bay.’’ After it hadreceived a good deal of publicity in The DailyMaroon, the symposium was literally mobbed bystudents, members of the faculty, and membersof the University community. Mandel hall wascompletely filled, and a couple of hundred peoplepaid a quarter each to hear the talks over a publicaddress system hurriedly arranged in one of thelounges of the Reynolds club. The affair, ofcourse, was held for the benefit of the StudentRelief fund, and it is possible that a number ofpeople were attracted solely by the charity angle.W’e believe, however, that the great majority ofthose in attendance last week came because they Iwere genuinely sure that they were going to enjoythe affair.Perhaps the whole situation is just another cor- jollary of the old theorem that people display little \respect for what they get free. Fourteen hundred |men and women were glad to pay twenty-five |cents each to hear the symposium; Monday the 'President’s office complained that free tickets for ;Mr. Sandburg’s Moody Foundation lecture were igoing slowly. The two affairs are probably some- Iwhat comparable in cultural and entertainmentvalue.

DECEMBER 16, 1931 Page 7*hreeCampus OrchestraHeard by CapacityAudience in Mandel(Continued from page 1)of Chicago Symphony orchestra onepraises its conductor, and in prais-^ing the conductor includes the play¬ers.One was much pleased to see inattendance at the concert a num¬ber of the University’s executives.One wishes that these executivesmight be present at a rehearsal ofthe orchestra some Tuesday or Fri¬day night. For one finds amongacademic leaders generally a feelinghow’ever vague and unformulated,that the performance of music ismerely a manual exercise no moreworthy inclusion in a .University’sscheme of things than horseshoeingor playing quoits. The status ofmusical performance as mental exer¬cise depends pretty much upon themusic performed. Attendance at arehearsal and some attempt at part¬icipation might show that the intel-letual effort required for playing(playing, not attempting) Beeth¬oven or Schubert or Debussy is nota bit less than the intellectual ef¬fort required for listing all the San¬skrit adverbs ending in “X” in agiven manuscript. When academicleaders realize this the effect uponthe position of music in in.stitutionsdevoted to the things of the min^lwill be prodigious.\ special arrangement, “The Chi¬cago Overture”, by Williarn Carrollwas played by the orchestra. It iscomposed around the theme of threeChicago songs, and dedicated to.4mos .\lon7.0 Stagg.The concert of the University ofrhicago Symphony orchestra dem¬onstrated quite clearly that a manwho can accomplish as a musicianand not as a mere talker and the-orizer has come to this campus, andthat students who can accomplish asmusicians can be found to workwith him. .And so as a foreast andpromise the occasion was a gireatone.SELECT FRESHMANEXECUTIVE COUNCILFOR SOCIAL EVENTS(Continued from page 1)activities, and yet provides for a def¬inite group of representative menand women who will plan a consist¬ent and unified program of socialevents for the entire Freshmanclass.At the present time, plans for aformal dance to be held the first orsecond week in February, are beingformulated by the council.

TheGrandstandAthletebyHERBERT JOSEPH JR.I My, my, but the “resignations” in^ athletic departments are comingI thick and fa.st. Ingwersen was the' first. No real reasons were given: for his leaving, but, since footbaljthas not been so rosy at Iowa from1 the time when they were booted outthat the dear old alumni out thatas to how come. We understand! of the onference. we have few doubtsI way were quite busy making noises,I and also doing things 'that don’t' make much noise.i And Chick Meehan of N. Y. U.' steppout out, whether under pres-, sure or not, we don’t know. Just be-1 fore the announcement, the N. Y.■ U. Daily News came out with a bigattack on Meehan and the attendantevils of his administration of foot¬ball. The effect of this is question¬able.Mr. Meehan issued a statementyesterday which is of more than us-I ual interest. The Associated Pressj dispatclT'is as follows “I’m through' with the big gates and high pressureI football. I have no coaching plansI and the only thing I would acceptalong that line is a part-time positionwhere the fun of the game alone wasimportant.” •* (Now, note this) “I’m tired ofdriving boys, cajoling them, berat¬ing them, driving them to win, onlyto see them crack through tirednesslate in the season. The grief ini that kind of football is too great.”\Now’ there we have something, ehwhat? We don’t hear such state¬ments from those who are directlyconcerned in thq creating of suchconditions. F'or the N. Y. U. caseis different from all others in thatthey have come out and admittedeverything. We a.ssume it’s every¬thing because there couldn’t be manymore such evil grid practices. Theyhave had a nice taste of “big tim^efootball” there, and don’t seem tohave liked it. Very intere.sting, in¬deed, say we.* >•' * 'll <i>Wisconsin is having quite a timewith its me.ss. The latest is the res¬ignation of Director of AthleticsLittle. He is supposed to be in fav¬or of the retention of Thistlewaiteas coach. How safe Mr. Thistle-waite’s job is at present, we wouldaction of the athletic council is sub¬ject to the approval of he faculty^.And the faculty has recently madea resolution directing the athleticcouncil to take into account CoachThistlewaite’s status of a full pro¬fessor, who aennot be fired withoutproof of “gross inefficiency”. So hemay stay.EVENING SWIM PETITIONI do favor an evening recreationaldo not I Second Symphony of |I Daniel Mason PlayedI By Stock OrchestraI (Continued from page 1)lawfully wedded wife was called jj back to New York at a time wh|e|n 'his wife was sick in a hospital. The ^pair arranged a wireless and cablecode whereby the women could keep |i the husband informed of her prog- ij ress. The name “Bach” meant; “getting along splendidly” the name 1: “Verdi” meant “getting along pret- ;I ty well,” while the name of the' American composer, who here shallbe nameless, meant “discouraging. II but not dangerous.” 'Mason’s symphony was proceeded 'by the Bach B Minor suite for solo >I flute and orchestra. The writer of jj these lines always derives a peculiar '' sensation from listening to a flute ji well played—a feeling that the sil- jI ver tube is itself alive and singing, |I and that the duty of the player is |1 simply to hold it down and keep it jj under control. Mr. Ernest Liegl, •first flutist of the Chicago Sym- 11 phony, being as fine an artist as one {j will find in or out of any orchestra, |; succeeds in giving the impression |; trained beforehand, so that he, the||I player, need only hold it and let it ii go its own joyous way.The concert opened with GeorgShumann’s “Liebesfruehling” over¬ture and closed with a suite from’Glazunoff’s “Ruses d’Amour.” It israther a pity that Glazunog is knownin this country through these ele¬gant, superficial ballets almost ex¬clusively. He has written about adozen symphonies none of whichcould be quite as boring as Mason’ssecond and at least some of which,must be a great deal more interest¬ing.ORGANIZATIONS TOPRESENT PAGEANTIN CHAPEL SUNDAY(Continued from page 1)University choir and from the jDramatic association, include thefollow’ing students: Maude Bous- ;lough, 'Virginia Holton, Alice de 'Mauriac, Dorothy Dunaway, Louise IBolsinger, Elaine Hoeglund, Mar- igaret Fiske, Harriet Ann Trinkle. jJeannette Goldfield, Sylvia Sider,and Eloise Moore, angels; Milton !Howard, Archie Winning, Nicholas jBirkhoff, Edward McCloud, andI Philip Grathvol, shepherds.Larry Goodnow, Jack Verdier and |George Drew w’ill sing the roles of |the three kings, and Thor Hagberg ,that of Gabriel.
