At time when civic minded citi-
zens are seeing the need of the
adaptation of university curricula to
the changing needs of the COM
munity, the news of the release of
DR.. Walter S. Athearn from the
presidency of Butler university is a
shock to many of us who are inter-
ested in the naturalization pro-
gram.
In his brief administration, there
has been a distinct trend in shaping
the content of courses to meet
present-day needs, both of the
youth in the undergraduate school
and Of the adult in the community.
At a time when tremendous social
changes are upon us, the ability to
make such an adaptation is para
mount qualification in the president
of a university. That quality DR..
Athearn possesses. Whatever de-
f1ciencieS may be found by critical
board of trustees can scarcely bal
ance that first qualification.
Because there is such confusion
in all walks of life today We are
writing you to ask that your paper
help the public, interested in Butler
university's future, to understand
the issues at stake.
A shocked public has a right to
understand, if it is expected to
support the institutions of the COM
munity.

Thanks, Mr.. J. L. H., for your
comments of Oct. 26. There is
much to be learned by the general
public in regard to the police and
fire departments and your mention
of employees of Indianapolis living
out of town is one big reason for
the vacant houses.
If any one wishes to verify this,
let him go to the city limits on
any paved highway and see people
leaving town between the hours of
5 and p. m.
Before an applicant is considered
for appointment in either depart
ment he must show that he is
resident of Indianapolis and has
been for three years. After appoint

The Age of Whoopee

A S in the case Of the President,
"A there was a touch of cynicism
in Miss Guinan. I think that both
had some inner inkling that the
party would not last forever. But
neither one wanted to be a killjoy
and spoil a perfectly good jam
boree.
Both remained a little aloof from
the high jinks in which they served
as promoters. Even after the &C
cession Of Hoover. Mr.. Coolidge
played the stock market very mild
ly and Texas never took a drink in
her life.
l knew Texas very well and liked
her enormously, but I must con-
fess that I can not remember any
comment which she ever made upon
the existing social order. When I
ran for congress on the Socialist
ticket Miss Guinan came out as
one of my supporters and made a
speech at one of the rallies. I
doubt that it touched the funda-
mental issues.
w NOAAAA et0Nc NCAC 4AAOl illdll a
little shocked at Guinans name be-
ing coupled with the campaign. It
seemed to me fitting then, and it
still does. If ever there was an
authority on the idle rich and the
wasting of the MASTERS Texas
Guinan was certainly that woman.
Her night clubs did an actual
social service in reducing to an alb
surdity the theory that only the
men Of means are fit to manage the
intricate industrial machinery of
this country. I have seen captains
Of industry and kings Of finance
playing leapfrog across the dance
moor of Guinan's club.
I do not wish to suggest that
Miss Guinan was boring from within
when she managed to illustrate so
wildly the fundamental triviality of
certain rugged individualists.
1t would be great deal less
than accurate to suggest that 1 sat
at a ringside table concealing
Jeremiahlike fury under my fine
ralment. 1 went to all of Miss
Guinan's various establishments
many times and remained late. I
went because 1 had a good time.

COMBINES a little after dawn
~ there would be a small poker
game after the big spenders had
gone home and the place was
closed. In this way managed to
cut down the overhead a little. Con-
trary to popular superstition, Miss
Guinan played poker very badly.
Probably after saying, Hello, suck
er!" through a long evening she
found it restfUl to draw to three
fiushes and inside straights.
doubt very much that Texas
died rich, because anybody engaged
in a profitable racket seems bound
and determined to find some other
in which the money may be put
back into circulation. Texas lost
prodigious sums in the stock mar
ket, although for a short time she,
had a fortune.

IN THE AMERICAN IDIOM

DAUL WHITMAN, in announcing an i'm
- pressive annual prize for new musical
compositions in the modern American idiom,
said:
I'VE have done nothing to assure a future
for American music"
He himself has done much. In his own
words, he has pioneered in the preparation
Of jazz music for the concert hall lin an
effort to give it structure and style lifting
it from the ordinary class of dance hall tunes"
He has tried for years ito put American
music on definite plane-one apart from the
raucous and blatant jazz that characterized
the Tin Pan Alley product of that period"
The contest calls for an orchestral COM
position and is open to musicians, amateur
or professional, 30 years old or under. The
prize is gold medal and a scholarship to
one of five important musical Conservatives
and enough money to live on for a year.
The important thing is that Mr.. White
man restricts the compositions to the mod
ern American idiom. This is of greatest i'm
portance in whatever art. Too many prizes
are designed to send the young Americans off
to Rome or Paris there to break with the live
new artistic growth in this country and to
take on the artistic culture of another civiliza-
ton.
In these times of swift intercommunica-
ton the best in international artistic growth
spreads to this country from other coun-
tries. The young American does not need
to go abroad for it. He will do most for him
self and for art by helping create an indigo
nous American art.
Paul Whiteman knows this from expert
ence and instinct. The prize he offers should
do much to attract national attention to the
great Importance of an American art growing
up out of the American soil.
