Arabs

"East and West have always met
In the country of my birth as well
as In the country of my adoption,"
Ameen Rlhanl, native Syrian, said
in an address Tuesday morning at
the University monthly convocation
In Memorial hall.
Mr. Rlhanl discussed chiefly the
political and personal ambitions,
idiosyncracies
contributions,
and
personal
magnetism of Arabian
icings, and made several comments
on British treatment of the Arabs.
In Arabia, unlike other kingdoms,
he pointed out, one must see the
king before he sees anyone else. "In
Arabia the king is your host your
bureau of information, the key to
the city and the keeper of the gate,
and to be permitted to know Arabia,
one must first have the sanction of
the king. There are now more than
100 rulers in Arabia, kings, sultans,
emirs, etc," he said.
In commenting on British protection of the Arabs, Dr. Rlhanl
Haled that many of the protectories are a measure of protection for
:he British rather than for the
Arabs, and that the Arabs are paid
ay the British government to pro-'.e- ct
the cities and the British population rather than everting protective measures for the benefit of
the Arabs. "This phase of British
policy In Arabia Is the most objeo-Moand unjust to the Arabs,"
Dr. Rihanl said.
President Frank L. McVey presided at the convocation and Introduced Dr. Rlhanl. Invocation and
benediction were delivered by Dr. T.
C. Ecton, pastor of Calvary Baptist

Responding to a questionnaire
mailed last week by The Kernel,
presidents of 10 social fraternities
on the campus yave cte.ir Indications that the traditional form of
hell week is pnlne out of existence,
and that, in many cases, steps have
already been taken to abolish it.
In all cases but one. where hell
WPek Is being carried on, the house
leaders answered that they recognized the appearnnee that the sentiment was changing from the desire for a period In which pledges
would undergo physical and mental
mistreatment, for a desire for Instructional period.
All but one of the presidents
s'ated that their houses would assist In a general movement to abolish or modify the present system.
From the letters. It was definitely
ascertained that all but one of the
presidents of the 17 lodges are opposed to physical punishment in the
:raining period.
The four queries sent to the
presidents were:
(1.) Does your house believe In or
permit hell we?k in its traditional
form (physical punishment, etc.)?
(2.) Does there seem to you, in
regard to this question, to be growing sentiment for a period of instruction, rather than one of mistreatment, interference with class
work, etc.?
(3.) Are you taking steps to abolish the traditional form; or, (4.) Is
vour group willing to cooperate in
attempts to abolish the custom?
Of the 10 replies thus far received by The Kernel, eight answered
the first question negatively, eight
the second question affirmatively,
eight wrote "yes" after the third
query, and seven stated they would
assist in abolishing It. which was
the fourth question asked.
While several of the presidents
said they still believed in the traditional form. It was apparent from
their replies that they recognized
the urgent need that all Greek-lettsocieties abolish such a form of
hazing.
Ken Raynor, president of the
Delta Chi house, was the only exception to this. In explaining his
stand, he declared that the paddle
is used for discipline? purposes
afonly, and that their
forded pleasure to both actives and
pledges. While in effect this seems
to be a modified usage of the custom, the spirit of the
week still seems to prevail.
As head of the Delta Tau Delta
house, Ike M. Moore said that hell
week was used In a modified form
at his house, but that it was fast
on the wain, and that cooperation
would be forthcoming In movements
to abolish It.
In conversations with several of
the presidents. The Kernel learned
that the majority of fraternities
this year plan to substitute a probation week of Instruction,
and
while some of them stated that a
small amount of paddling would
be done, no "missions or
would be conducted as In the past.

HERE SHALL THE KERNEL ALL
STUDENT RIGHTS MAINTAIN
THIS WAY OUT. HELL WEEK
The streamer headline on page one is
It reveals exactly what The Kernel
has believed for some time: Undergraduate
leaders of social fraternities are against the hell
week of a bygone collegiate era. This applies to
graduate leaders, also.
Along with the gaily decorated Model T Ford,
collegiana
hell week, as a symbol of the
period, has passed out. There is no place for it
in the current collegiate curriculum.
leaders are
It is good to note that Greek-letterealizing that so long as fraternity life is associated with hell week, there is danger that the entire system will follow in the steps of the
rah-ra-

h

T.

About the only excuse advocates of hell week
can offer now is that they "get to know the boys."
By breaking down a freshman until every condition he has come to recognize as civilized and
politic in the scheme of things is stripped from
him, may be one way to learn to know a fellow,
but there are other ways which would be pleas-ante- r
and much more intelligent.
As for the survey made of the fraternity presidents on the campus, while not all the replies
have yet been received, it is plainly to be seen
that a tangible and positive sentiment against
the custom exists, and that the majority of the
presidents are willing to help eliminate it from
the campus.
What this movement now needs is the active
and energetic aid of some central campus group.
The Interfraternity Council is the logical organization to act upon the matter, but it has thus
far proved to be so lethargic and sluggish about
the matter that we would seem to be overly optimistic in hoping that the Council would bring
the question to a head.
The Kernel is always hesitant about asking
the administration to take a hand in affairs
which rightfully should be handled by undergraduate management, but if the hell ueek. problem cannot be worked out by a properly appointed and empowered commission representing fraternities, we feel that it would be no
breach of faith if we did so.
We might advise the administration, and some
fraternity men, also, that the problem of abolishing hell week is a serious one, and that only those
who are earnest in their efforts to irnpioe the
general status of the Greek-lette- r
system, should
attempt in its solution.
German families have been limited on their
use of butter, leaving Hitler the only one who
can still spread it on thick. Boston Transcript.

By ODIS LEE HARRIS
Your writer was fortunate during his graded school
days to take piano lessons for some six years. The one
experience of those six years that stands out like a
sore toe is the time when he received a rap across the
knuckles for trying, vainly but earnestly, to play a
"hot" chorus of the "St. Louis Blues." During that
six years, popular muslo was taboo and the works of
masters were the dish, morning, noon,
the
and night And now after 25 years of existence, a
slowly crystallzed suspicion comes to light, to the effect that music, like all other Ingredients for human
consumption, is likely to contain hash.
Just why music that has a tune to It must necessarily be classed as fit only for the popular masses
remains somewhat of a mystery, and why true musicians must clothe themselves in ralnment of artistic
temperament is a greater one.
The manner in which Bach, Mozart, or any of
masters progressed from note A to
the
note F is their business. And Just how we are to do
the same remains ours. When and why muaic
clasbicism became a criterion of culture is unknown; for art in music becomes little more than
mechanical routine in view of the fact that its
value is judged by Its form of pattern which in turn
must abide by classicism rules.
A performance by any great artist with the exception of vocalist easily establishes the fact that the
genius of the artist Is due mostly to his or her technique, by having mastered Intricate fingering, tongue-in- g,
and the like. Considering that the music is seldom original with most performers, they must then
trust to their technique and interpretation to bear the
,
marks of their genius.
On this basis it follows that a successful rendition
is due mainly to mechanical perfection, and the performer is more of a machine or robot than a personality. The professional horseshoe pitcher who can
throw ringer after ringer without missing must then
be an artist eligible for temperament with the accent
on the first six letters. For his claim of genius, as does
the musician's, depends on the technique and the interpretation with which it is applied. The material,
which each works with, namely music and horseshoes,
Is original with neither.
Good music is the kind of music that pleases the
listener, regardless of whether it is from the classics,
the "horse opera," or the modern swing variety; and
the advocates of either kind have no right to declare
the others as being a musical r
