I
A LIBERAL THIRD PARTY
In an interview given in The.
Daily, a professr of the political
science department gives his opin-
ion "about a third party movement
in the United States-namely that
it is ill-conceived." With this, lib-
eral and progressive spirits will
heartily disagree.
It is not the two-party system asj
such which has failed, but ratherj
two such parties, Republican and
Democratic; they are standing both
together to block the best interests
of the people and to protect the
"rights" of the richtand powerful
I minority against an awakening pro-
gram of reform and justice. That
may sound sweeping; I am sure it
is an essential fact.
CAMPUS
PUBLICATION
MAKES GOOD!
The Michigan Gargoyle has
brought fame to our campus. In
yesterday's Free Press anyone who
bothered to look might have found
about a square yard of print about
how the Gargoyle "a rival publica-
tion of the Michigan Daily" had
printed "scathing remarks" and
"biting sarcasm" and whatnot
about the recent liquor raid. And
all this on the front page, too.
Michigan is certainly coming up in
the world. First we are privileged
to be in the diametric center of a
'Million Dollar Fall of Snow,' and

INTERNATIONAL NIGHT
The eighth annual International
Night under the auspices of the
Cosmopolitan Club will be offered
in Hill auditorium at 8:15. The idea
of employing authentic knowledge
of the various national traditions-
so easily available onsa campus of
this size-in an instructive and
colorful extravaganza has provided
one of the most entertaining annual l
evenings for several years past.
This year's program is adding to
the contributions of the various
campus groups some professional
talent lent through the courtesy of
the International Institute of De-
troit. The material is this year
being unified through the notion of
a cruise.
THlE FIRST MRS. FRASER
The week after next Ann Arbor
will be offered William Brady's
production of St. John Ervine's
"The First Mrs. Fraser," the play
Which has traveled to all theatrical
centres of the world as one of the
outstanding contemporary exam-
ples of England's (Ireland's really)
high comedy tradition.

There is no longer any signifi-
cant difference between the two
old parties, none since the day
when Al Smith blew out the last
flicker of hope and took the"free-
trade plank over to the side of big
business. If anyone can find any
but highly superficial differences,
I should be glad to hear of them.
At present these parties don't stand
for much of anything; they wobble
on every issue which cannot be
avoided and would wobble till they
fell, were it not for the supporting
hand of big business. Says Wash-
ington correspondent Mark Foote,
"Because of the row precipitated in
the Democratic national committee
by chairman John J. Raskob's sug-
gestions as to prohibition, his re-'
commendations on economic issues
were largely lost sight of. These
proposals of planks in the party
platform of 1932, with the possible
exception of that for a five-day
working week, are extremely con-
servative. Already the liberal and
progressive minded Democrats are
up in arms over what they term an
attempt to hog-tie the party to big
business. Indeed, the Raskob eco-
nomic ideas might well have been
written by the United States Cham-
ber of Commerce of the National
Manufacturers' asociation . . . The
Democratic national chairman's
idea of easing his party into con-
trol of the government is to make
it as much like the Republican
party as possible. .The tactics of
Mr. Raskob may hasten a realign-
ment of political parties along con-
,servative and liberal lines; it may
serve to drive some of the Progres-
sives into the Socialist party."
Where else can one turn for in-
telligent political leadership? Those
who believe that the government
has a positive function, who are
Jooking toward a planned social
order and an economic system
based on production for use rather
than for profit, and those who have
experienced the dawning commun-
ity consciousness, where are they
to turn? The Republican and
Democratic machines are lacking
in imagination and afraid of a
change. For Progressives to admit
that a third-party movement is ill-
conceived would be to curl up and
die. Charles A. Orr, '32.
To the Editor:
In reply to the re-
cent letter concerning the World
Court symposium, the purpose was
not to convince people that a ne-
cessity existed for the entrance of,
the United States into the World
Court, but to arouse, if possible, al

And, by the way, I shouldn't
advise anybody to come around
here offering more than two
cents for that snowfall. They
can have my share of it merely frtetobeo xrcigi
for the trouble of extracting it
from my right pant-leg.
*, * *
The B & G Boys also are having'
their troubles capitalizing on the
late celestial get-rich-quick scheme.
I saw them out in front of the law
building yesterday carefully taking
all of the snow out of the street and
heaping it neatly on the lawns and
sidewalks of the vicinity.
All of which serves to bring
to mind the fact that this de-
partment prophesied something
of this sort (snow) about a week
ago in the middle of that last
warm-spell. We don't like to
boast, but here's one group of
boys Ann Arbor didn't fool into
throwing away their hip-boots.

MASS EDUCATION
Criticisms altogether too often,
e made against the University's
lective system of admitting fresh-
en. Each spring high schools find
at many of their graduates are
irned down because they have
lied to maintain high enough
ades during their preparatory
urse. Others discover they have
)t had sufficient work in langu-
e and mathematic courses.
Parents and some educators feel
at since Michigan is a state uni-
rsity all who have completed a
ur year high school course should
e admitted. They fail to see that
ie trouble lies not with the Uni-
rsity but with the disposition of
e student, and often the train-
g. We can not expect every stu-
mt who graduates from high
hool to be adapted to university
e, and most certainly the Uni-
rsity is not a plastic institution
tiich can fit itself to every indi-
It seems to be the style these
days to go around noticing oddities
on the campus, such, for instance,
as the picture of Niagara Falls in
the ceiling of University Hall, the
rats in Newberry Hall, the stench
and dirt in Newberry Hall, and so
on. The Pherret has a contribution
to this ever-growing list. How
many of you have ever noticed that
they always keep one door of the
Economics Building locked at thel
time when there are the most pos-
sible people trying to get in?

It is being bruited about that
the JUNIOR GIRLS' PLAY is
going to criticise a lot of people.
A mere nothing, I dare say, to
the number of people who are go-
ing to criticise the JUNIOR GIRLS'
PLAY.
A, reader - pardon me - The
reader writes in to ask me if I
can shed any light on the use
I and origin of the word "for-
eign." He states that he is
puzzled by its frequent appear-
ance in such connections as
'foreign relations', 'foreign poli-
cies' and the like. I can only
answer that, as far as I know,
the word first came into use in
the adage which says that "Two
birds in the hand are worth
foreign the bush" and is prob-
ably traceable to this source.
The foreign-hand tie may come
in here somewhere, but this is
doubtful not to say unlikely.
* * *
Some of you who have seen the
inside of the new Law Library may
be able to answer another query I
get with some frequency. People
have been writing in to ask me
how in the world anyone is expect-
ed to reach that ceiling to play
checkers on it. Ladders do seem a
bit impracticable, and the only sat-
isfactory answer heard to date is
that they just designed it that way
to tantalise people.
Grace George.
The New York production had
the good fortune to be graced by
an extremely competent triumvir-
ate of actors: Grace George, one of
America's leading comediennes, A.
E. Mathews an English actor whose
American followers almost form a
cult, and Lawrence Grossmith from
the original English production.E
The richness of comedy-technique,
which these three have brought to
a play that demands it has made
the production one of the most
popular in New York and Chicago
throughout the past year.
In the play, St. John Ervine, who
proved himself an inimitable and
provocative critic while guest re-
viewer for The World last season,
has taken the prevalence of divorce
and re-marriage in the contempor-
ary scene as a basis for some bril-
liant "Restoration" attitudes and
striking wit.
Matinee and evening perform-
ances will be given Monday, Mar. 23.
CHINQUILLA
Chinquilla, a pure-blooded Amer-
ican Indian, will present a program
called "Dramatic Sketches of the
American Indian" in the Mendels-
Sohn Theatre Thursday afternoon
of this week. At the famous Carlisle
I'Indian School, Chinquilla early de-
dicated herself to the task of creat-
ing a more sympathetic under-
standing of her race. She spent
several successful years on the
theatre and concert stage and was
:oon enabled to spend her time less
professionally on lecture tours. In
the program to be given here, she
will give dramatic recitations, ex-
amples of the native tribal music,
and several of the lesser known
tribal dances. All seats, though
they are being offered at only 50c
will be reserved. The program is
scheduled for 3:40.
ORGAN RECITAL
The regular Wednesday after-
noon recital in Hill auditorium will
include this week Palmer Chris-
tian's distinguished performance of
the Bach Passacaglia and Fugue in
C Minor, which has featured sev-
eral of his best programs in the
past and a first performance of a
tiew Suite by Eric Delamarter,
assistant conductor of the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra. The full pro-
.'ram follows:
