GREEN PAINT;
“Guess they can’t holler about class spirit any more,”
yelled a wag as he surveyed the senior bench early yesterday
morning with its fresh coat of green.
Verily, green paint seems to be the token of class spirit—
which is all right. If any class senses any spirit in its midst,
let it burst forth with a few daubs of the sacred green. 'Ad
mitting, of course, that green paint is significant of class spirit.
Everyone knows, however, that it really isn’t. What real
ly proved that there was a little class spirit left in the old
school was in the early afternoon when a few frosh were initi
ated into an almost-new use for green dinks. That wfa’s class
spirit. It would he stretching things a little far, however, to
give any class spirit credit for slinging wet paint.
The paint occurrence of yesterday came at a time when it
was sorely needed. But there is no necessity for any more of
it. A much better way is to have interclass competition—more
class rivalry. Class meetings are being held more frequently,
ajpl coming class elections will cause a little more spirit and
unity among the members of each class.
The paint incident need not be regretted. It was a well
intended effort to revive class spirit. And class spirit needs
reviving.
The Emerald is not attempting to start any political talk,
or to Create any false situation in relation to the coming stu
dent elections. What is news is news, however, and when the
campus starts discussing possible candidates, t]he Emerald
ehnnot fall behind iind till claim to be presenting news when
it is news. The time is here when students should begin to
think about whom the leaders of the students should be next
year., Nominations are but two weeks away. It, is not too
early to start thinking.
_•
In many ways it is fortunate that the University will enter
tain our mothers and dedicate the new Woman’s building at
the same time. But in another it is almost unfortunate. While
the mothers and those who helped make the Woman’s build
ing possible are our guests at the same time, great care must
be taken to slight neither group. We want to do all we can
to make the visits of both enjoyable.
I he last issue ol Uemon Punch contained a strongly-worded
plea for a clean backyard for the University, calling attention
to the view of the campus from the railroad track and thir
teenth street. As is usually the case, those to whom the edi
tbYial was addressed, paid little or no attention to the plea.
Isn’t it encouraging, Leinmy?
Of course, you plan on guests for Junior Week-end. But
are you sure they are coming?

SUNDAY TENNIS.
As long as the law of 'Massachusetts
forbade sports on the Sabbath, the Uni
versity could hardly have acted other
wise than close its athletic equipment
on the seventh day. All this has been
changed with the legalizing last year of
Sunday games. The University has rec
ognized this change by keeping the
squash courts open throughout the week,
there being no particular reason for pre
venting a student from exercising on
Sunday simply because he chose to play
squash, rather than indulge in a back
lot baseball game.
Nor can there be any good reason for
preventing tennis players from using the
courts at Jarvis Field on Sunday. Of
all spring sports tennis claims the larg
est following, too large, in fact, for the
equipment, which is by no means nig
gardly. The courts are so crowded dur
ing the week, with so much necessary
waiting in line, that some provision
should be made to satisfy ns far as pos
sible a demand that exceeds the supply.
One step towards this result has al
ready been taken by limiting the hold
ing of courts to one hour. Of even
greater service would be the opening of
Jarvis Field to Sunday players. No
doubt the athletic committee is willing
to do its best for the tenuis enthusiasts,
who are so numerous that any reason
able request, from them demands a bear
ing.—Harvard Crimson.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS—MAYBE!
To The .Editor: If noise is any indi
cation of talent, we’ve got a couple of op
era houses full of geniuses audibly bud
ding in the Music building. 1 use the term
noise in a general sense. However, mu
sicians break the plain hulk noise into
its component squeaks, wobbles, rasps,
and gurgles, camouflaging each with some
euphonic appelation, thus leadiug us to
believe that such squeaks and gurgles
are greatly ot be aplauded. Thus, if a
singer gets a lung full of air and doesn't
know what to do with it. he opens his
mouth widely and lets it out with a
whoop, like most any old plug would do—
in musical parlance that’s "a full round
note.” It is round, no mistake: It goes
’round the "block and comes back on the
gallop.
If a singer gets a frog in his or her
throat and the sound comes out in small,
frazxled pieces, sounding like some bo
vine who had parked a spear of timothy"
in the wrong compartment—that’s “won
1 derful emotional interpretation.” Which
is undoubtdly true, if it’s the emotions
of the bovine being interpreted. If a
singer comes on the stage with too much
cough syrup in his system and gets the
hiccoughs while yodeling his lay and the
notes come out in fluty-hie-hunks of
sound that wander all over the lot—those
■are ‘‘arpeggio notes” or “trills,” or some
thing like that. And if a singer waves his
hands, shakes his head,, gnashes his eye
lids and stamps his teeth to keep from
looking awkward (which he would look if
ho stood still and let the audience survey
lnrr. ensemble —that, my fr>erid, .s • his
trionic ability” or “operatic acting of tell
ing effect.” Oh, she’s a great dodge, this
profession of .iuggling, distintegrnting
sound from its original bulk and reas
sembling it into small fifty cent packages.
And they tell ns that “popular music”
isn’t art.’ Don’t believe it. They’re afrail
that if they sang something written in
less than six flats and a couple of room
ing houses we might catch on to the fact
that everytime they miss a flock of notes
tliey go into a nose dive, flatten out,
soar and take another fling at the same
set of vocal convulsions. And as long
as they miss they can repeat the pro
cess—if they have a “trained pianist.”
In “popular music” there isn’t anything
to do hut make a dash for the next gob
of written sound and catch it desperately
by the tail—which makes an awkward
hiatus.
Poor commerce students across the
way!
“Six thous’n’ two hunner’n thir- six
fr’m debit t’ credit,” he whispers inten
sively.
Do-o-o-o,” shrieks the lady from the
opposite building, who will ultimately agi
tate thousands in the operatic world;
she’s only agitating a few hundred now.
“Sev’n thous’n’ four hunner’n fi’—
credit t’ debit-”
“Do-o-o-o-o.”
“Gosh darn and a couple of hecks,”
mutters the student. “Tour do and my
dough is going to get tangled up here
shortly.” E. J. H.

*-—-----*
To The Editor: “What do you think
about it?” someone asked me after read
ing the statement of President Eliot, of
Harvard, in regard to the manners of the
average collegian. In answer—let me
agree with the president.
It is really a fact that the average
American collegian—man or woman—is
found wanting in the school of real man
ners. I do not believe that President
Eliot is an exponent of the Chesterfield
sehool of stinted grace. He is probably
viewing the question merely from the
viewpoint of the cultured man. His
opinion, however, goes to prove that de
spite many contentions, the west is no
worse than the east. This, however,
does not excuse the westerner.
"Who is to blame? Surely it is unfair
to lay it all at the feet of either sex—
for mere toleration is one farm of ac
ceptance. It does behoove the students
to be more careful. One thing which
college should stand for is culture—cul
ture that extends beyond fncre book
learning and becomes a lesson in actual
life, and in every-day practice.
The students should take the opinion
of President Eliot to heart and attempt
to mend their ways. This does not im
ply returning to the old school of frills
and laces—but merely sane observance
of the ordinary rules of decency and
conduct which are so often, violated—not
through a preconceived desire to scorn
conventionality, but from carelessness—
and what is worse—from ignorance.
