Did you ever stop to think what kind of a worl dthis would be if all the music were to be taken out of it? Just for a moment try to imagine a community without a band, a choir, a chorus, a con cert of any sort—or even a “movie pian ist!” But also try to fancy college life without a glee club, or an orchestra or a band! Do you uike the picture? Of course not. Our own University school of music makes this music that we all love possi ble. Four years ago Dean Ralph II. Ly man came to the University as dean of the school of music when there was hardly a school to be called by that name. This year be leaves us to take work in Pomona college, California. Dr. .T. J. Landsbury, newly elected dean of the school of music, in speaking of Professor Lyman’s work, said, “Too much can not be said in praise of all he has done. Our Work and plans for next year are only possible through the efforts of Dean Lyman." In speaking of a profesor to take Dean Lyman’s place as voice instructor, I>r. Landsbury stated that they were in touch with twenty-five or thirty men. Many who are applying have had a great deal of experience in concert and opera work and some are not only known in this country but have national prominence in the musical world. Dr. Landsbury will leave the first of June to personally meet the applicants under consideration. Dr. Landsbury said. “We want a man to put; on operas, oratorios and one also who is a first class concert singer so that the school of music can be tremendously active.” It is bis plan to reach all the smaller communities in the state as well as the. larger ones in extension work.” When asked concerning the glee club and choral work p'f the University Dr. Landsbury replied that the slogan will be “Music for IOverybody.” In carrying out this idea two more glee clubs will be or ganized to take care of those students who sing and sing well but for whom there is no vacancy in the main glee clubs. The four combined glee clubs then will form the vesper choir. Plans have been made for a series of faculty recitals. Among them will be one by Dr. Dandsbury, a two-piano recital by I)r. Dandsbury and Professor Howard Annett, one by Mr. Annett alone, one by Miss Forbes, Mrs. F. G. G. Thacher and j Mrs. Ambrose Middleton. I HATE MEN ★-—- ■ ■—*-* (By Miss Tottenham) I hate men They get on my nerves. There are the kind who have long noses, Large brown eyes, and a plan of the Universe. They talk glibly of staid companionship between men and women. Afternoons they take girls hiking, And say, “Comrade, I believe in platonic friendships— “Hence I’ll let you cross the plank alone. Evening works a subtle change. Stout hands convey the girls across the harmless stream. Maybe the hand clasps mean friendship— I Put I know the kisses mean more! . i There are the kind who wear tweed suits, And have faces set in the angles of a bull dog’s jaw. They scorn women and disdain hat shops. They say, “The only difference between a young woman and an old one Is that the young are kittens developing into cats.” Then they elope with ballet dancers, While each one of his friends say, “Why Why! he bated women.” But the ballet dancers have to serve port at their meals, To drown the husband’s infatuation for the women in the next flats. Then there are the plodding kind, They are usually Germans, have truck gardens, and save pumpkin seeds. They say, “A woman’s place is in the home!” “Where will she leave the children when she goes to vote'?” Unaware that—she can leave the child ren the same place she docs When she goes to pay herrtaxes! Then there are the kind of men, Who marry women to darn their socks, locate their shirts, Find their cuff buttons under tlio dress er, and save the cleaner’s bill. They are always saying, “Mary dear, didn’t you think to sew a button on?" Ugh! how 1 hate that kind of men.

They are the worst. They write articles on “How a woman can save steps in her kitchen.” Are forever measui.ig the distance be tween table and sink, Sending pamphlets throughout the coun try on “How to be neat though a housewife.” And inventing aprons that slip oa over the head And save time on hooking or buttoning. They are the kind who snatch the color ed playthings out of baby’s hand— Lest baby will absorb some foreign in gredient detrimental to future efficiency. Then when the kitchen is hot and baby cries— They go out to distribute pamphlets! There are those Who are in love with every girl. Who make quite desperate assertions. They say, “The light in your eyes is only excelled by heaven above.” And then they whisper, “I will respect you more if you grant me the priveleges of a lover”— And maybe the girls do. A man like that then goes home to his fraternity brothers And says, “I bat a million in that league!” Then his girl goes home to her fratern ity sisters, ** Who are gathered in the fire's warming blaze, „ind says, “I wondpr if the poor fool thought I meant it?” He did. I hate men. They get on my nerves. Note:—Miss Tottenham is an old maid by virtue of her discrimination.
