Chairmen
Now Chosen
By Petition
The procedure for selecting
Homecoming general co-chairmen
has been changed, Todd Fay, '62,
Michigan Union executive vice-
president said yesterday.
Under the new selection system
both men and women chairmen
will be appointed by a board of
representatives of the Union and
Michigan League. Formerly the
Union and League each chose its
own chairman.
Application forms may be ob-
tained in the Union or League stu-
dent offices and must be returned
to the Union offices by Friday
afternoon. Interviews for the posi-
tions will be held from 3-6 p.m.,
April 24.
Petitions will be limited to five
pages and four copies must be
submitted. Petitions should in-
clude the applicant's conception
of the position, problem areas, the
means for fulfilling the purposes
of Homecoming and the person's
qualifications.
The new system is being tried in
order to increase coordination oe-
tween chairman and committee
heads by appointing both chair-
men at one time, Fay said.

Mosse Traces Romanticism

,%;__

By LINDA REISTMAN
"New Romanticism, an intel-
lectual movement of the early 20th
century shows how Germany was
later able to accept a 'hodge-
podge' of irrational political
ideas," Prof. George Mosse, of the
University of Wisconsin history
department, said yesterday.
Discussing the "Intellectual Or-
igins of National Socialism in Ger-
many," Prof. Mosse described the
New Romantic movement and its
merger with "The Cosmic Spirit"
to lay the intellectual foundations
of the Third Reich.
"The 1890's found Europe pre-
occupied with thesdiscovery of the
unconscious. This attitude took
deeper root in Germany than any-
where else, finally institutional-
izing into a social-intellectual
theory as in no other European
country.
World Views
New Romanticism meant that
the world must be viewed as a
whole, but could only be done so
intuitively. Therefore, the intel-
lectual had to recapture the ir-
rational, Prof. Mosse explained.
Revolt against industry and the
capitalistic society was sorely
needed, and this became an at-
tack on industrial capitalism and
a nostalgia for the old society.
"Any opposing spirit needed to
be revolutionary, and this one was
so because it was so conservative,"
he said. German statesman Wal-

ter Rathenau called for "the es-
tablishment of the kingdom of the
soul, and a pristine re-organiza-
tion of German values."
Prof. Mosse, a native of Ger-
many, went on to explain the
emergence of another important
philosophical idea, that of the
cosmic spirit or "volk."
New Religion
A new nationalized religion
emerged banding the German an-
cestry and a pride in the soil, Prof.
Mosse said. "The key to national
renewal lay in the past, not in
the future."
These ideas gathered new
strength at the end of the 19th

Mosse noted. "Young people be-
came the testing ground in the
experiment of these new ideas.
Youth Excursions
"The youth participated in many
outdoor excursions which became
the symbols of revolt. The natural
landscape had an effect on them,
becoming a determinant charac-
teristic and experience of the hu-
man soul.
Americans cannot understand
the naturalistic scene taken as
such a philsophical idea," the
Prof. explained.
"1913 saw an organized meeting
of German youth symbollically on
the Anniversary of Leipsig, the
freeing of the Germans from
Napoleon.
It was important because it re-
defined politics. The youth re-
jected politics as the reconciling
of interests, feeling that there
should be no interests to recon-
cile."
"However, the schools became
the single most important means
of preaching this world view."
