Ed Michaels, Jr. Sunday, November 16, 1930 Sauce For The Goose ! f The plea made recently by President L. H. Powell, of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, for protection of railroads against motor bus competition seems at first glance to be merely the ap peal of last resort of an indus try which has beeome unable to compete successfully in the field of open business rivalry. But upon closer analysis it will be seen that sound principles and reasons underlie the proposal. It amounts, not to a request for added protection, but to a per fectly justifiable demand for justice and equality in govern ment regulation of utilities. Since, the formation of the In terstate Commerce Commission, coercion and limitation practi cally without limit has been im posed upon the long-suffering railroads. Allowed to make only a certain per cent on investment, they have nevertheless borne the brunt of taxation wherever legislative authorities have been able to assert jurisdiction over them. In addition, millions find employment on railroads of the country, no small item in such times as the present. Bus lines, on the other hand, very few of which are, compara tively speaking, interstate in scope, have little legal discipline with which to deal. In addition to bearing little of the com munity burden of taxation, they are able quite conveniently to utilize roads built by the use of public finances. An insignifi cant proportion of tile popula tion is employed in motor trans portation. ' In the words of llr. Powell, since no method of transporta tion has been discovered which; can supplant our railroads in! their entirety, we are brought face to face with the question of what shall be done with the competition which is so serious ly threatening their destiny. Our federal government, dealing with the problem of competition between railroads, has, in the transportation act, declared that no new line can be constructed without the consent and approv al of the Interstate Commerce Commission.'. "Why should not this same principle be applied in dealing with motor competition with our railroads and a policy fixed by law that will , prevent such competition where the ser vice then required by the rail road will be reasonably ade quate or where the traffic is in sufficient to support both types of transportation?" Competition is admittedly the life of trade so far as it is prac ticable. But where it becomes advisable to regulate the func tioning-of one type of industry, all divisions of that category should, in the interests of equity and to afford parity of opportun- u , . . x , strictions. J". M. L. 1 Weep Not! A prevalent complaint both here and on other campi is that college organizations are impeded in their progress by the yearly graduation of sea soned members. Upon the de parture of such persons from any club or fraternity there is the feeling among the . remain der of the group that the or ganization is apt to go on the rocks. Such a fear is altogether logical and feasible in theory, but it is contrary to actual find ings. The departure of old members is a serious drawback to any or ganization, no doubt; but the constant influx of new workers is an advantage sufficiently potent to more than offset re sultant obstacles. Constant I change of old members brings "new blood" into our clubs and prevents them from becoming stale and stagnant. With new members come new ideas; with new ideas comes progress. The group which is forced to operate on one set of principles for any considerable time is very unfor tunate, and is apt to make few forward-looking movements. The new element tends to be critical of the status of the organization and to be heartily in favor of eliminating all that is obsolete and worthless. It is the very unconstancy of the membership of collegiate organizations which makes them durable and pro gressive. There are so many organiza tions on this campus that nearly every student is claimed by one 1 1 r-i 1 a or more 01 tnem. niacn 01 us remembers the uneasiness that accompanied his first moments as a fraternity man, a Di or Phi member, a member of the debate squad, or what not. The old members eyed us closely, expect ing us to say foolish and amus ing things. They seemed to be astonished that we didn't "know the ropes" just as they did. But m the course of a few years these veterans depart into the highways of the serious ousi- ness of life, leaving the one-time neophytes in the position of prominence. It is this factor which accounts for the consum ing interest which college stu dents are seen to take in their organizations. The secret lies in the fact that there is always room for advancement in posi tionalways the coming oppor tunity to express new ideas and to put new schemes through the ordeal of experimentation. The spark and spirit so characteristic of pioneering is kept ever alive in college organizations by the constant influx of new members THE DAILY The Musical University By Wex Malone ' An enthusiastic and apprecia-t tive audience filled the auditori-1 um of the New Music building Friday night to hear Edward Eigenschenk in the dedication concert of the new Renter organ. The program opened with the Grand Choeur Dialogue by Gig out. Unfortunate difficulties with the instrument made it ne cessary to shift a double burden on the great organ, which un avoidably curtailed somewhat the effectiveness of the number. Eignschenk, however, extri cated himself beautifully from the difficulty by an astonishing manipulation of the voicing and expression of the great organ, so that the handicap was not seriously feli. The real program began with Scherzo from the Fourth Sym phony by Widor. The music varied in intensity from soft wood wind passages to the im pressive thunder of the full or- f n, and gavean opportunity Lr ule the registrational possibilities of the new instrument. The mus- Ui V.lu.uf "f " sources 01 ootn organ anu piay er. Eigenschenk's execution' of the difficult staccato passages, while unexceptionable, were . hardly to be compared with the astounding agility he later dis played in the Etude Symphonic and the Finale from Widor's Second Symphony. The Finale from Widor's Fourth Symphony concluded the first part of the program. This was executed in the grand man ner, and the blast of the full or gan was unrestrained through out the entire selection. In Fantasie and Fugue, by Bach, the organist hit his full stride. Here is the old master as we like to know him. Agility of execution and preciseness of tone distinguished Eigen schenck's interpretation. Bach demands conservatism, and he was played conservatively. Color pervaded the third part of the program. Canyon Walls introduced the modern motif with a liberal supply of delayed harmonies and whole-tone modu lations. Here is your American registration sensitively done. This number demands approval. Schumann's Sketch and Sera phic Chant by Moline constitut ed the weakest part of the pro gram. Schumann's melody, beautiful in its simplicity, was sophisticated by over complicat ed voicing. Perhaps your re viewer betrays his ignorance in submitting that Seraphic Chant at times was positively incom prehensible. The redeeming feature is an effective use of the echo organ and the Vox Humana in the introductory and closing passages. Divertissement more than dis pells any unpleasant taste left by its predecessors. Here is real brilliance and a display of excellent technique. The gener ous applause brought by this number acclaimed it as one of the high spots of the evening. Reverie and Toccata furnish ed the great contrast of the pro gram. Reverie was unaffectedly executed, although the obligato was a trifle sharp at times. The Toccato was superbly done. The fourth part of the pro gram again presents Bach to the audience with the chorale, In Thee is Gladness. This is the only touch of the liturgical in the entire program. Again the organist demonstrated a close familiarity with polyphonic music to an audience who show ed that they could appreciate it. who bring with them new talent, new ideas, and new methods. Wherefore, then, do we weep .when the senior bids us good- bye to "shape his old course inl a country new ?" It is sad, but 1 profitable. JVC. W. TAR HEEL The three selections following, Scherzo, from the Second Sym- phony of yierne, Clouds, by Cie ga, and Song of the Basket Wea ver, by Russell, all afforded a de lightful change to the modern and more imaginative mood. Clouds deserves special com ment. The tone poem style pre dominated, affording another opportunity for an effective dis play of the registration possi bilities of the new instrument. Eigenschenk concluded the program with Etude Symphonic by Bossi. The Etude was marked by an exchange of brilliant pas sages between the Great Organ and the Pedals. The organist's use of the latter was especially effective. The stupendous volume of the full organ was again heard as the number drew to a close, and it finished in the grand style. Applause brought Eigenschenk back to the con sole. His encore was the Finale from the Second Symphony by Widor. Although it cannot be said that the program was flawless, or that the choice of selections was unimpeachable, still the con cert will remain with us all as a memory of a most delightful evening of music. Throughout the program - Eigenschenk dis played a conciseness of touch, evident in both the legato and staccato passages, coupled with an undisputed brilliance! throughout. An organ is limited only by the concepts of its mas ter, and Eigenschenk played with imagination. This is the great est and rarest attribute of an or ganist. It was not without sin cerity that we all said, "Those who live in the presence of Music, such as this instrument can give forth, will grow in nobie emotions." Father Petro Kilekwa, a prom inent London clergyman, was once a slave on an Arab ship. His name now appears among the lists of the most elite Londoners. wo AMOS W AMDY MONDAY TUESDAY ONLY yT-t X IRENE RICH SUE CAROL fl IUU Paramount Sound News jP3T j --i a t a. tr j in . .

But alas not long vere peace and tranquility to be our appointed lot. Before we could find a seat in the congest ed array of individual, a co-ed met the level of our then stunted gaze. ; Judging from the bristle, like erectness of her hair and the rebellious curl of her lip, e knew that all was not well, that she had something to say. "Jir W.", quoth the "evish" creature in a manner far from gentle, "do you really believe every, thing that you put in your column?" .Our only answers to grow faint. Our sense of truth has been dealt such a blow that we are no longer able to discriminate between falsehood and fact. Every paper that we have seen for the last week stated, "Graham under knife." Now we a! have learned that he is not to undergo the proposed operation. Perhaps, he grew tired of the terrible sight of a knife hanging over his existence, and decided that he knew enough about the cutting business from observa tion.
