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 then this.j It , ' CAND DRA IT IS HARD TO I EXCELL ...

Williams 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. t M ., is A.

Watts Johanna Wiese 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. BROWN-CRESS & Company, Inc.

SPROWL 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.
