Feasibility OF the Gordon Street

In placing the matter before the

that Street. young Brownsville

Quoted in other sections, and from
his survey had evolved a plar
peculiarly adaptable TO Browns

from q cold, but that he Is still
capable Of putting out a great
orchestra was thoroughly demons
trated. Several new faces were seen
behind the instruments, when
compared TO the other visits, and he
comes nov with an innovation OF
Mexican dances.
Taken as a whole the appearance
sent the audience away with the
sweetness of tinkling stringed ms
truments sounding In their ears
but the program last night lacked
the change from the heavier music
to the lightness OF more popular
selections of both American and
Mexican music as encores which ad-
ded so much TOR the American
audience on his previous trip.
This may have been partly true
because Of q seeming ~reticence 20
respond TO encores. While 1t Is
realized that the American, Mexican,
and American-MeNcan audience
would have kept them there all
night II they had responded as often
as desired, some felt they had a
little more coming. at least from
Maria Romero. soprano, than whom
none better has been heard In the
Valley in many and many a day.
The surprise she gave her
audience when she merely opened
her mouth and proceeded into
vocal gymnastics with both
sweetness and strength, and notes
as clear as a flute, brought those
present up in their seats for more.
But her two selections in one ap-
pearance was all for the evening
and somehow there was a feeling
OF disappointment when tn
audience became fully aware that
her days work was done.
That Torreblanca still has a great
orchestra, though some of the
members exhibited that the stage
is still a bit new to them, none can
argue. The veteran OF many tours
and many stages is too great for
any adverse criticism except that
this time the audience felt there
was not enough Of 1t from the
special artists.
Torreblanca, himself, is a master
leader.

The selling was prompted by re-

ably encouraged by the comparative

MILITARY TRAINING
MAKING ROBOTS OF
STUDENTS, CHARGE

urge that compulsory military train
ing be abolished.
Making military training optional
at De PAW university first brought
attacks from super-patriots on DR..
G.. Bromley Oman, president OF
that institution.
Under the title THE Making of
Robots" the state school publication
said editorially:
Mass production of standard
lied product is all right in industry
where inanimate material is made
into useful articles, but mass pro-
duction of military robots in a state
university is something quite differ
ent.
ut is not in a spirit of opposition
to military preparedness that the
Daily Student takes this position,
although as President Hoover said
recently, this country was never
safer nor in less need of armament.
THAT students and parents OBJ
iect is enough. That individuals
may object on different grounds
some, perhaps, purely pacifists-
makes no difference. The attempt
of the r. o. T. G. department OF
compulsory military training to take
hand in the educational process
has stirred up a bitter controversy
that bids fair to haunt the campus
of Indiana university until the COM
pulsory phase of the military course
is abolished.
Indiana university was created
for educational purposes, and it was
never intended that any part of it
should be converted into a military
camp. Teaching self-reliance and
developing the power of individual
judgment is proper education, but
compulsory military training teaches
almost above everything else blind
obedience to orders.
"Such training might be expect
ed in war time when the safety CT
the nation is endangered, but there
is no war today nor war impending.
The r. O. T. C. department, as a
compulsory unit, has outlived its
usefulness at Indiana university"

TWO CHILDREN ARE
SLAIN FOR LOVE-

her sister, Alma, 8. Betty, 8, the
third sister, probably will die, ply
sicians say.
Il love them so well I can not go
without them" a note found in
Waite's pocket explained.
Manuel Vernal, 38, the children'S
stepfather, told Waite several days
ago of his intention of moving the
family to another house. When
Waite was informed that he was to
be left behind he protested that he
could not bear parting with his
granddaughter, Vernal stated.
AS farewell gesture Of his love,
Waite took the youngsters to a
neighborhod store, where he bought
them bright new dresses. Later the
happy quartet trooped to confec-
tionery stores, where the grand
children were gorged with ice cream
sodas and other CONNECTIONS.
When Waite returned home with
the gleeful trio, the tiny pockets of
their new garments bullying with
candy, he asked his daughter, Mrs.
Julia VernaI, "a, to allow the chill
dren to sleep in his bed.
This will be our last night to-
gether," he pleaded. Mrs. Vernal
consented.
Shortly before midnight, Mrs.
Vernal heard cries of anguish issu-
ing from her fathers room. She
rushed in to find the four in agony
from effects of tn poison.
