KNUDSON WILL DESCRIBE MEDIEVAL
STUDENT LIFE IN FRENCH LECTURE

Prof. Charles Knudson of the ro-,

discuss "Student Life in the Mid-

In his talk, which will be deliv-
ered in French, Professor Knudson
will describe the life of the stu-

"Critical constructive opposition,"
Williams says, "is our greatest need.
Progress is always made by the
conflict of ideas. Today in the
,United States there is no vital po-
litical party of opposition. Demo-
crats in the election of 1928 re-
vealed the fact that they have not
one fundamental economic issue to
distinguish them from Republicans.
There never have been great differ-
ences between them but with the
Democratic abandonment of a low
tariff policy, all distinctions have
virtually faded away. Both parties
have become the political expres-
sions of the great business groups.
"Although we are living in a per-
iod of general and far reaching ec-
onomic and industrial transforma-
tion, there has been no correspond-
ing political realignment in this1
country," Williams contends. "Shar-
ing the widespread conviction that
the issues nominally dividing the
two major parties are unreal and
that neither party, in spite of large
dissenting groups within them, de-
sires ncr is able to face present-
day conditions, /we propose to the
American public the desirability.of
a new political alignment based
upon the realities of American life,"
he avers.
Morris Hillquit, after his lecture
yesterday, said that the new or-
ganitation was one consisting of
certain men and women who have
recognized the necessity of a third

progressive lines.

It is maintained that the student

FAVORS COMPREHENSIVE
EXAMINATIONS
COLUMBUS, Ohio.-A thorough
examination in all the courses with
which he is credited at the end of
four. years of college is -the ideal
way to determine whether. the stu-
dent has the qualifications for a
diploma:, according to Prof. H. G.
Hayes, of the economics depart-
ment. He scoffed at the idea that
the present system' produces grad-'
uates really representative of uni-
versity culture. Fewer subjects,
more intensively studied, are desir-
able he believes.

COLUMBUS, Ohio-.Plans for a

proved at a meeting of the board

POLITICAL MACHINES ARE
OILED
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-
A new party, expressing the dis.
satisfaction of clique politics, will
present itself at the spring elec-
tioris of the University. This move-
ment is backed by a group of over
fifty upperclassmen, graduates, and
faculty. They state that this is not
in any way an anti-fraternity move.
In fact, several of the fraternities
and sororities have affiliated them-
selves with the party. Their object
is to attain fair representation on
the campus and in campus work.
