Standing
According to those who have
already seen the play, Young
Standing, tall, dignified, with a
powerful voice, makes a calm but
thoroughly human Jefferson Da
vis. V
- Not content with the mere
memorization of the lines in the
play, a drama built around the
president of the Confederacy,
standing delved deeply into the
tragic story of the Civil War and
portrays Jefferson Davis in a
manner that .brought even- the
handful of Confederate soldiers
present to their feet in rever
ence. Standing prefers to stand or

HOWELL TO TEACH
COURSE ON BIBLE
English Professor will Give Course on
"Literary Aspects of Bible"
A new course, "Literary As
pects of the Bible," or English
87, will be given next quarter
by Professor A. C. Howell as the
third new course of the year in
Bible study.
In order to make use of the
excellent materials available in
the Haynes collection, the course
will meet in room 303 of the li
brary, at 9 :30 Monday, Wednes
day, and Friday. It is a regular
constituted course in the curri
culum and is a free elective op
en to juniors and seniors.

And Request for Surrey of

RABB CHOSEN CHAIRMAN
Complications arising out of a
difference of opinion regarding
the limitation of the powers of
the Student Council resulted
yesterday from the appointment
by the council of a committee
to investigate the activities and
status of the Student Co-operative
association, and to clear up
rumors and accusations circulat
ing on the campus.
According to Francis Fairley,
the committee, composed of Stu
art Rabb, chairman, Don Mc
Kee, and John Parker, was ap
pointed after complaints and re
quests on the part of individual
students.
Unanimous
The unanimous resolution of
the Student Council, passed
Tuesday night, was adopted
without notifying either Harper
Barnes or Haywood Weeks, di
rectors of the organization, of
the action.
In an informal session with
Fairley yesterday afternoon, the
directors objected to the investi
gation on the, ground that 'the
council has no right to investi
gate-private -business concerns.
Fairley maintained that in his
opinion the Student Co-opera
tive association is in theory a
student organization and there
fore subject to investigation by
the council as the official gov
erning head of the student body.

Thor Johnson's
Symphony Gives
Varied Program
University of Michigan Little
Symphony Orchestra Gives
Polished Performance
By Ruth Crowell
Thor Johnson and his Uni
versity of Michigan Little Sym
phony orchestra gave one of the
best programs Tuesday night
that the Student Entertainment
series has brought to the cam
pus this year.
The most striking feature of
the orchestra is its response to
its leader and its quality of pro
ducing full and clear tones which
belie the number of players.
Considering the relative sizes of
the Little Symphony and the
Minneapolis Symphony, the
former group secured a much
greater volume and clearness of
tone than the larger orchestra.
Firt Number
In the opening number of the
program, "Overture to the Ope
ra 'Mignon' " by Thomas, the
orchestra showed a variety of
musical interpretations. The first
theme, suggestive of a pastoral
scene, was played with a modu
lated grace and ease with a skill
ful interchange of melody, from
the clarinets to the strings. The
work was brought to a swift
conclusion with the rapid and
stirring passages of the "Polka."
"Symphony No. 2 in D Maj
or," one of Hadyn's monumental
works, was played with a mast
erful conception of the music
