Subcripuon price per year tillered at the post otlice in Cuil ford College, N. C., as second class mail matter. Member of North Carolina Collegi ate Press Association. JAZZ "Brick" .Morse, director of the Uni versity of California glee club during its thirty five years of life, was asked to resign chiefly because he allowed his boys to introduce a few numbers of jazz with their regular classical glee club program. He promptly answered that he did not intend to resign, say ing '"I have given one leg for the varsity team and I am ready to give the other for my glee club."' Evidently the members of his club favored his action for they upheld him in it. Many of our leading musicians who are interested in educating the public to the place where it can really ;p --preciate classical music advocate leav ing off jazz on all programs. This re minds one of the man who was desir ous of being economical and so decided to tr; in his horse to eat nothing but sawdust. The horse died before Ihe end of the training period. In spite of all that has been said against jazz it is becoming a distinc tive form of American musical expres sion. Roger Wolf Kalm, son of the great banker Otto K hn and who is not yet nineteen, is making more money in one year with his jazz, than the President of the United States re reives as compensation for twelve months work as head of the nation. With such examples before us it is no great strain on the im gination to grasp the idea that the United States is paying anywhere from one hundred million to four hundred million dollars a )ear for jazz music. It does not necessarily follow that a glee club should present a program consisting entirely of jazz, but if one wishes to entertain as well as educate the popular mind there must be mixed up with a classical program some se ductive syncopation. Witness the thunderous appl. use accorded to Fritz Kreisler in Greensboro by a quite classical audience when he dropped from the Vieuxtemps concerto (no. 4; in D minor) and played the lighter selections from "The Student Prince'" and "Rose Marie" music that is whistled on every street corner and played by every orchestra. Something typically American in music will perhaps be developed for we are not yet up to the possibilities of this type of musicial expression. While there ..re glaring faults, musi cally. in most of the jazz, it certainly has a hold on the American public. T. Arthur Smith, manager of classical music in Washington says,'' jazz audi ences gradually become educated to better music just as infants learn to crawl and then to walk." There are those who believe that jazz may yet develop into something very much worth while. THE APPLE WAGON It will be remembered that the apple wagon which visited the campus some three years ago gave some of the boys a sample of Old Scotch. Of course he thought that the boys, being college men, would have mnre sense than to drink it. But judging from their play ful action at the supper table, they didn't. The result was that the mules of the apple man were confiscated and lie spent 6 months working for the Stale. He is now back at his old job again—selling apples. "L'honime des poinmes" is very accomodating. Dr. Perisho stepped up to him on the campus Wednes day afternoon and asked, "What are you selling Mr." The reply w. s, •I'm sorry Dr. but 1 haven't a thing today but apples, would you be in interested in a bushel? "No thanks, I have plenty of them down at the house." OUR GLEE CLUB To the individual student and to the college what does a glee club mean? .May we just consider what a club of this kind really is. Of course, when one thinks of the words, "glee club" the thought of a group of singers is first to pass through the mind. But is there not a deeper meaning tli. n that. Stop for a minute and think of the word "glee." it means joyous, cheerful, gaiety, exhilaration, etc. and so a club of this kind must mean one that goes from place to place making people lu.ppy. How much it must mean to that little boy or girl who at tends a country school until he or she reaches an advanced age and thus as a child does not have the opportunity of hearing a big drum, someone run up and down the pi. no real fast with their fingers, a long pipe that by punching something on its sides brings frrtli music that sounds like a bird, a big horn you can blow through and make pretty music, and all these other instruments that are played in unison. My! the many thoughts of marveling winder ill t must pass through that child's head while he listens to these hoys perform. And too, this child lias doubtless never heard a group of boys sing at one time, when some will be singing high, others low, and some ordinary like. Not to the children a'one is this of interest, the farmers who must work hard all day. and who come to the performances are gr. teful for that evening of enjoyment. This does not apply merely to the people of the country, but also to those of the city who have that never-dying love for music. Should a college not be very proud to boast of a club doing this work, It means much to a college to have a group of its students going from place to place making friends with those boys and girls who sit enraptured by the program and at the close exclaim to themselves perhaps, "That is the college I w. lit to go to if they have things like this there." If the history of each college student should he traced back, 1 wonder if there would not be several who came to Guilford because he or she saw the basketball team play a good game somewhere, heard a faculty member give an interesting talk or an account of the work done by the Glee Club. And to those who cannot come it is through organiza tions of this kind that leaves with these people a love for our college and an individual interest in its success. Would it not be advisable for each student to show his or interest in such organizations as these that we send out from the college as our representc lives, and give them all the encourage ment we can? We should feel very proud and thankful for the work our Glee Club is doing. Frances Osborne.

American students—not over twelve or filteen in each group to travel through Europe with students guides, being re ceived as they go by students, univer sity authorities, statesmen, leading minds, distinguished hostesses. They will visit mu-eums, palaces, cathedrals factories, villages; but not as sight-! seers. These journeys are to be for acquaintance with people, their cus toms, and their ide. s. The scenery, I the art, and the historic grandeur of \ Kurope will be seen as the back-drop I against which a living drama is en acted. Although they include features out -i:le the scope of the regulation sight seeing tour, and are more difficult to rrange. the journeys will be less ex pensive. The European student or ganizations are connected in divers ways with their governments and can secure, for the guests, rail reductions visa rebates, etc.; and for the most part lodgings will be available in stu dent buildings. A new thing is hard to measure in words. It overflows one classification and doesn't fill another. So it is with these tours; they are not sightseeing expeditions, but one does see whatever is worth looking at; they are cultural, but one doesn't have to study; they h.ve the serious purpose of fostering relations between American and Euro pean students, but they are carefree vacations. You sail from New York, one of a party of twelve or fourteen students, anil you return eleven or twelve weeks later. For more htan eight weeks you re a guests of the students of Europe. That is why the entire way is not cohered in eight weeks. There are public functions, graced by men of the hour; there are dances and infor mal parties; you climb mountains, ramp through picturesque villages sleep once or twice perhaps under a cottage roof; you flatten your nose ag inst exotic shop windows, idle in cafes, mingle in crowds savour the rich slow life of Europe cities; there are whole days when you are on your own, to browse in museums, poke into shops, or to idle away your time in any one of a thousand profitable ways denied to the tourist who trots through, schedule in one hand. Watch in the other. These circumst. nces. and the fact that no profit is being made in this enterprise, bring the cost of these trips so close to living expenses for the same period in America, that al most any student can afford to do. j Naturally, however, only those who I realize the splendid opportunities offered in these journeys can be re garded as desirable members of a party. There is plenty of opportunity to go aboard for mere sightseeing. The colleges are flooded with offers of Student Tours by more or less frankly commercial agancies, and it is | always better to travel than to stay home, even if one goes as a herd tourist. But the C. I. E. tours are especially intended for those who realize what the personal contact with the rising generation of other countries ( may do towards broadening one's .vision, for a deeper understanding of other nations, and consequently for international good-will and world peace. Because of this non-commercial attitude and for their great cultural and educational value, these journeys .re heartily endorsed by the leading educators of this country. An Ameri can advisory committees, under the chairmanship of of Dr. Stephen P. Duggan, Director of the Institute of International Education and includ ing among others a dozen of the most eminent university and college presi dents. is directing the policies of the work here. It is only natural, there fore, that the . uthorities of Guilford College have expressed their sympa thy with this work and give it the full support of their encouragement and prestige. At this institution, students inter ested in the C. I E. Tours may obtain .'further information from either Joseph Cox or Byron Haworth.
