Meyer Marion Daniels H. W. Rosenblum t WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER '3, 1926 Night Editor-JO H. CHAMBERLIN remembered to be the unusual rather than the usual. Such things, although they are rare at this University, are happening the entire world over. It must not be thought that a University is an excep- tional place. It is not possible to make a "Utopia" out of an institution drawing its members from every walk of life. "A student runs no more dan- ger of becoming morally corrupt than he would were he to remain in his home town, in fact, the mental de- velopmentwhich he gets should make him better able to meet the tempta- tions of life. There is no cause for alarm at the much-talked-of student immorality, nor is there reason for condemning co-education as a contributing cause. The system may said to still be in its experimental stages, but so far, the experiment may well be said to be a success. "SPECIALIZED" CHEERING The chief criticism of intercollegiate football for years has been that while 22 men do all the work, the thousands contribute nothing more that a little vocal exercise. And now, judging from the attitude at the Michigan State game, even that small bit 14 to be dele- gated to a specific group of approxi- mately 900 students, while the rest of the crowd behaves after the fashion of the mythical gentlemen in the geieral store-they "sit and think." This attitude defeats the whole pur- pose for which the special section at Ferry field was established and makes worse than worthless all the work the Student council has done to make the idea a reality. The purpose of a cheering section is first, to act as a nucleus for a larger organization, composed of every Michigan man and woman in the stands, for general cheering, and, second, to furnish short, rapid cheers for individual players or special plays, when there is not sliffi- cient time to get the, whole crowd into vocal action. The men in the section last Satur- day filled their part, of the program with an enthusiasm that fully justified the belief of the students who origi- nated the plan, that such a section would help Michigan's cheering. But the rest of the spectators were either overcome by admiration of the section, or else struck dumb by the score, for they maintained a silence that ever touchdowns could not disturb. This situation was partly caused by the fact that oinly two cheerleaders were on the field. This Saturday there will be five, and there-will be no ex- cuse for a lack of response on the part of those not in the section. All the real exercise is performed by the men on the field; the multitude should at least contribute a little vocal ex- ercise to the afternoon's performance. with, and that is the inveterate law governing dictatorships. No civilized nation has ever stood this type of gov- ernment long. Mussolini is entering his fifth year. Ominous rumblings, now suppressed become more insistent day by day. Sometimes it is a socialist editor; sometimes an attempted as- sassination; sometime the tide will be- come overwhelming, and Fascism, sup- ported by its blind oaths and over- bearing arrogance, will go the way of all dictatorships in the past; and the black shirt will become a memory. REHABILITATION Although it is now almost eight years since the World war, the re- habilitation of the war torn areas of France is still going on. Buildings are being reconstructed, roads re- built, and land restored to cultivation. This reconstruction, which is being carried on by the French government, started soon after the Armistice, but there is yet about a third of the work to be done. About three years will see the task finished and the devas- tated areas will appear much as they did in 1914. The Department of Commerce of the French government reports that to date about $3,500,000,000 has been paid out to war sufferers, 541,484 buildings have been reconstructed, 30,000 miles of roads have been re- built, 1,500 miles of railway track re- laid, 4,500,000 acres of land restored to cultivation, and 9,615 schools re- built. The bulk of the work has now been completed though considerable remains unfinished. It will be impossible to completely restore the beauty of the northern de- vastated areas or those of Alsace Lor- raine. It will take time to grow trees, fors nature to repaint war scarred landscapes, and citizens to reconstruct their buildings. Yet the work is going on. Three years should see it finished.

Written by a senior, who has witnessed University life foi three years, there is little doubt thai there is some justification for the ih arges._ Two bad effects which co-education nas on the University seem, in the opinion of the writer of the communi- tation, to warrant its extermination 1 'r t is mentioned the impracticability and difficulty of dealing with men and m en in the same classroom. The th'ory that women mature much earIlier than men is somewhat explod- -d, in so far as college students are conrs---d, and were it entirely true, i. could not be fairly applied to the 'araied dl.room. Those who are n ' au or intelligent are ad- :nced ;un thoe who are unable to m;k' tIt grag. who are below the u age fail and enter classes with i 'v1w'o are their equals intellect- ually. Also, college men and women are of sufficient maturity, or should be, to diifnss any matter whatsoever in the elass room, Heredity and subjects talling with delicate matters such as lif( and sex can be discussed in class with perfect freedom, because college students regard such matters from an adult standpoint. If the men and women should be trained separately, if they are not capable of taking the same subjects in college, the same argument would hold true in regard, to our whole civilization. Men and women should live in separate coun- tries; they should not communicate with each other-oceans should keep them segregated. University life is merely a minimiz- ed cross-section of the life of the world, and what applies to one should be applicable to the other. Grade schools do-not find it necessary to seg- regate males and females; should it be necessary when the same individ- uals become more mature and able to make decisions for themselves? At irregular intervals there culmi- nates a mass of dangerous evidence showing that student morality is low, that there is little regard for the proper relations between sexes, that men and women students hold riotous liquor' parties, that wild orgies are being held or have been held. Such FASCISM "I swear to follow without discus- sion the orders pf the leaders of Fascismo, serving with all my fac- ulties, even with blood, if necessary, the cause of the Fascist revolution." Such is the oath of the Fascist, to follow blindly, without reasoning or without daring protest if he does rea- son, the dictates of the leader of the party. The blind allegiance of the illiterate mercenary in the Middle Ages becomes supreme intelligence and Decatur's sublime error when he pronounced "My country, right or wrong" becomes profound thought ber side the utter resignation of this oath. To follow a dictator, without even the power to choose that dictator, is the high state of democratic government which one of the great nations, of t': earth has reached, after spending five years and millions in dollars and men' to make the world safe for democracy,a as we were told. At times, perhaps, dictator is a wisee policy for a government. In times of' great national emergency when quick< and decisive action is necessary, then there is no excuse. To perpetratet such a form of government, however,t by means of oath, upon a people which is thereby bound for life to its1 policy, is not only retrogression, it is positive danger, and a challenge tor democracy the world over.N In a little over two weeks the Fas-v cist party in Italy will celebrate thea anniversary of its march on Rome,o and thousands more will take the oatht 'which has already become a menace to civilization. Mussolini will official- ly take over the militia on that date, h another step toward militarism for aa government which has already assum- 1 ed an arrogant and aggressive for-n eign policy and an attitude of haughty superiority at home. e The danger is very apparent. There, h in southern Europe, is a nation or- v ganized plainly on lines of militarism a and a ruler who holds office by force. i Already France has changed its cen- i ter for mohilizatiAn frm-i +.R in-a 1 n CAMPUS OPINION Anonymous communications 'will be disregarded. The names of communi- cants will, however, be regarded as confidential upon request. AN ALARMIST'S VIEWPOINT To the Editor: Visitors on the campus, namely Al- bert Parker Fitch and his Highness the Bishop of London have revived a question of discussion which has re- cently 'been ignored, namely co-edu- cation. Co-education as a theory has been-accepted on this campus either as a necessary evil or an advantage. 'OU iIstitution. Upholders of both theories have been dormant, satisfied and complacent on the subject, and although we do have co-education on this campus now there is no reason why it should continue ad infinitum if it is proved detrimental to the best interests of the University and the students enrolled here. The presence of men and women in the same college increases the prob lem of education in two fundamental ways. First, in the class room: the fact that women mature mentally at an earlier age than men, that they can do superior work to men in classes of the same age, makes the actual teach- ing work of the professor much hard- er and he never can obtain as good results. The treatment that appeals to women does not appeal to men. The second and greater evil of co- education comes in the social life of the student. The constant proximity of the men and women students dou- bles the complexity of the social life. Whenever members of both sexes mingle with each other, a moral ques- tion always arises, and the more they are together, the more serious be- comes that moral question. From ob- servation at Michigan and other col- leges, it seems to me that student morals here have reached a pretty low ebb and that whether co-education is to blame or not, at least it should be carefully investigated. Being a state university and admit- ting women, this school naturally at- tracts all types of women and men. There are the good and the bad among both sexes, but the very fact that the organization of this institution per- mits them to be together brings the worst type of men in contact with the worst type of women with the inevit- able result-student immorality. Any- one who has attended fraternity par- ties on this campus will realize that Michigan is no exception. I realize that no critic of society has the right to be entirely destructive and so as the alternative of co-educa- tion I would suggest an older but more successful method-segregation in institutions of high learning. The eastern colleges, such as Wellesley or Mount Holyoke for women and Har- vard or Dartmouth for men provide a much fuller life for their students ndependent of each other. Especially, n the case of women students is this noticpablp. Wh A on m nr - --n GOTTA KEEP THE SHOW CLEAN Last year the American stage was flooded with a wave of realism-even to the extent of surpassing the nat- uralism of Zola and De Maupassant, so the critics thought. The Pulitzer Prize was awarded to "They Knew What They Wanted", which even the liberal minded Jessie Bonstelle thought was a shocker; and more, a noisy majority thought that "What Price Glory" the Anderson-Stallings war comedy which was infinitely worse, should have received this award. The Eugene O'Neill "Desire Under the Elms" played to capacity houses in a middle west tour and laid Iowa farmers low: the candid expres- sion and the treatment of matters which formerly were talked about in whispers was too much for them. And in the face of the gasps from Anthony Comstock and his playmates, Flor- ence Reed scored' atriumph as Mad- anme Goddam in "The Shanghai Ges- ture"! On the Michigan campus the more flagrantly salacious of such plays were avoided-for Michigan, despite a growing reputation is still a con- servative state-owned university. Mimes therefore pioneered somewhat in the field of the drama when "The Moon of the Carabees", "Bound East for Cardiff" and "In the Zone" all by Eugene O'Neill were announced by Mr. Shuter. O'Neill even in his mild- er moments is not calm, and this tur- bulent angel of modern decadence on the stage has created a most vigor- ous and lusty melodrama "soaked", so the posters claimed, "In fog and rum, and the far-off sound of the sea." The plays were admirably present- ed, and the reviews wee unanimously favorable. But the usual post-prandial Jeremiads ensued with the result that the Mimes were accused of perverting campus dramatics, and truckling to low curiosity...... This tintinnabulation about censor- ship soon subsided, however, and the merit of the plays and their excep- tionally fine presentation under Mr. Shuter's direction received the ap- proval of the drama-lovers of the campus, and more than warranted their revival. The rest of the Mimes productions for the year will present varied theatrical material including "London Assurance" and "Hell Bent fer Heaven". « * * THIS WEEK IN NEW YORK Eight major productions either have been presented in New York or will see light later this week, while several other new plays and revivals. are in final rehearsal this week and will tempt the metropolis in the very near future. On Monday night "Juarez and Maximilian" by Franz Werfel, who is also the author of "Goat Song", be- gan the season at the Guild theater. The company which is the first to be presented as the so-called "perman- ent company" will include Clara Eames, Margalo Gilmore Alfred Lunt, Dudley Digges, Arnold Daly and Edward G. Robinson. On the same night two other productions, "An American Tragedy" a dramatization of the much-discussed novel by Theodore Dreiser and "Rain" with Jeanne Eag- els will be given. The first named show will open at the Longacre The- ater, but will not have Glenn Hunter in the leading role as was originally rumored. "Rain" which will play two weeks at the Century theater will be the swan song of Miss Eagels in the role of Sadie Thompson. Last night at the Globe theater three Ann Arbor favorites, Fred and Dorothy Stone and Roy Hoyer opened in their new show "Criss-Cross." The tunes which are unusually good are supplied by Jerome Kern, while Anne Caldwell and Otto Harbach collabor- ated with the book and lyrics. "We Americans" opened at the same time at the Sam H. Harris theater, while the same night also saw "They All Want Something" with Charles S. Abbe, Katherine Renver, William T. Tilden, and Billy Quinn preented in Wallack's theater. Tomorrow night a postponed pro- duction by Richard Boleslavsky of "The Straw Hat" will play at the American Labratory theater, while "White Wings" Winthrop Ames first production of the season will open at the Booth. "White Wings" is by Philip Barry whose last play was "In a Garden". 4 s SHUBERT LA FAYETTE Lafayette at Shelby Street I 's Here A gain! "The Big Parade"' A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Production.
