UTOPIAN UNIVERSITIE S
Dr. ROBERT M. HUTCHINS
president of the University of Chi-
cago, recently advocated s o mc e
changes of a rather radical char-
acter in the organization of uii-
versities before a meeting of the
University of North Carolina's con-
ference on education. By thes-
changes he seeks to abolish the
graduate school and the senior and
junior college in favor of institu~
tions of higher learning divided
into professional schools and five
divisions of the arts.
Particularily did Dr. HUTCHINS1
score "hours and residencerequire-
"ments as criteria for winning col-
"lege degrees." Under his plan, a
general examination would indi-
cate the ability of the student
rather than the merely mechani-
cal addition of hours. Such a sys-
tem would eliminate the altogether
too common practice of cramming
Grades would no longer be the ob-
jective but would give way to a
true higher education, deeper and
of more permanence than anythin
a university can offer at the nrec-
ent time.
Faculty members would no longer
be teachers but administrators
Theirs would be the task of deter-
mining the true nature of educa-
tion and, instead of mere repeti-
tions of the opinions of others, i-
dependent and logical thinking
would be encouraged.
Ability alone would deteirmine
the readiness of the student to en.
ter this "Utopian University.' At-
tendance at high school, while t
be desired, would not be a neces-
sity and a general examinatiop
would indicate when he was read'
to enter and when he was quali-
fled to leave, regardless of the num-
ber of years or courses. The pres-
ence of persons who were net of
sufficient ability and seriousness oi
purpose would be eliminated.
This plan is but one more mile-
stone in the increasing movemeni
for universities which are more
t h a n machine-like institutions;
universities which would release a
man with an education rather than
with a specified number of hou
and a mathematically avragec.
grade. Plans approaching the pur-
pose of this one have been success-
ful in England and Germany and
of necessity, it 'can be but a shor
time before they must be adopted
here if the university is to remain
TO THE SCRAPI EiP.
Last week the naval depar tmit
took steps to dispose of three battil
ships of the dreadnaught type, tw
armored cruisers, approximc- atl=
14,000 tons of destroyers and morec
than 30,000 tons of submarines as
part of the United States' program
in conjunction with the London
treaty for the limitation of naval
armament.
Since the destroyer tonnage i
the American navy is greater b
far than that in any other, the
cutting down of that class of shi s
to the 150,000 ton limit is a problem
that may require two or three
years.
Junk dealers during this period
are going to find plenty of material,
for the junk heap is the place

where most of the traty-doomed
warship are headed. Accordng to
the treaty rules the ships myust be
sunk or broken up; or convert"du
into hulks; or used as targets to
be sent to the bottom of the ocean.
The rules, however, arl not so
rigid that vessels specially design r d
for training purposes can not be
used by the governmlent. The Wy-
oming will be retained by the
United States for this purpccse,
Great Britain will keepj the Iron
Duke, and japan the Battleship
Hiyea.
Admiral William V. Pratt, chief
of operations, two weeks ago issued
the order which will remove from
the naval department, besides the
battleships Forida and Utaz.?, tie
old armored cruisers P u
and Rochester, more than one third
of the American submarine ton-
nage, and approximately 50 per
cent of all the destroyers.
It is indeed gratifying to note l
that the United States was the
first nation to ratify the treaty, and
that it is the first nation to start
scrapping.
We wonder if the students living
in the Law club quarters on Tap-
pan avenue who look over the girls
in Martha Cook and those p;asinc
to their houses farther d own the
street realize the irony of their
situation. The time was when thO e

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER~4, 1930
Night Editor-BEACH CONGER, Jr.
The "RAH RAH REBELS"
"If the present generation of col-
"lege students are not carefully
" watched," says the New York
World in a recent editorial, "Alma
" Mater will have to get along
"henceforth with the spontaneous
" affecton she naturally inspires in
"her offspring, quite divested of
" the ceremonial superficialities in
" which previous generations have
" clothed the emotions."
Thus reflects one of the leading
newspapers on what appeared in
the Yale Record several days ago
when Yale undergraduates were
severely d'awntrodden by an alum-
nus on four counts: (1) They don't
turn out to watch the Cadets par-
ade, (2) They don't cheer enough,
(3) They don't curse the other
team, and (4) They leave before
the final whistle.
The four points are obviously
strained in an attempt to ridicule
that small body of whimpering
alumni who are forever telling how
the old school has fallen down since
they got out of it, but the theoryI
is there and is a highly debatable
topic.Are the undergraduates of the
present day just a bit more sophis-I
ticated than their fathers and
grandfathers? Don't they cheer as
loudly when the college wins its
crucial game or do they all get up
and leave before the contest is over,
prefering social activity to team
support?
The fashion of their day, in the
1900's, was loudly to acclaim the
hero'andthe victor and applaud
the team lustily even in defeat.
The school was placed upon a pin-
nacle of beautiful reverance which,
in the light of the more sophisti-
c a t e d modern undergraduate,
seems totally unnecessary and ri-
diculous. It isn't so much that we
have become softer and afraid of
our opponents as it is the fact that
we don't think it's necessary to be
"Rah, Rah" boys just because we
attend the University of Michigan.i
Michigan has just as much spirit1
as she ever had, only it's not asi
bubbling as its used to be. It'st
m o r e conservative. Instead of
swearing out loud at our oppon-
a~t".. c afrrn n++I- L.. ,n. I - ..'--

perate lack of preparation made
7chnitzler's An Episode ridiculous,
quite the worst thing since the
worst moments of The Road To
Roam. It madethe failure of The
Emperor Jones lamentable because
there were several indications of
very striking student work in its
production.
After having said that An Epi-
sode was unbelievably bad, it -is
necessary or unnecessary to point
out that it was bad primarily be-
cause one didn't hear it; also that
the direction was stupid; that the
chairs which made up the set were
so far back on the stage that one
only heard half "of Schnitzler by
straining; that Max and Anatol
enjoyed these chairs, refusing to
move or to speak aloud; that Max
who had a fine dressing gown and
a girl from a circus, lit his match
on the heel of his shoe once he
had raised that heel of his shoe
to about the buckle on his belt
(no wonder it wouldn't light; it
didn't); that Anatol's only effort
.o project the fact that he was a
Lomantic was made by blowing
smoke into the air (and we all do
that); that Bianca, the girl from
the circus suggested a very vocally
versatile Gilbert and Sullivan fairy.
People at last night's performance
will testify that the ,above para-
graph is not virulence but a cow-
ardly lenitive.
The InmYuerr Jones had excellen-
ces. The conception of the set and
lighting in particular. The haunt-
ed forest with visions of the tortur-
d fugitive against a changing in-
tricate leaf-pattern on the cyclor-
ma was striking. The execution of
it was at 'times very distressing:
planks seemed to fall every time
the pattern disappeared; the Em-
peror, who was also the director,
staggered off after a shot, then
was heard to yell, possibly amid
>aths, about the need of more
black" lights; the appearances of
'he patterns nlver timed with the
gmp ror's entrances into them so
as to give the necessary illusion
of his wandering through the for-
est.
David Hempstead (taking an in-
eligible person's place at a very
late date I understand) played well
as Brutus Jones. He had fine feel-
ing for O'Neills great negro, who
learned his technique of power
from the American plutocrats in
Pullman cars. It takes an actor of
very wide powers, capable of an
amplitude of effects, to give this
part, a long monologue, convinc-
ingly. Hempstead gave the first
scene very properly in a spirit of
wry humour: the negro boasting
in fine, rythmical language of his
conquest of the "bush-niggers" by
studied contempt for them. In the
scenes through the forest, he gave
the anguish of tumbled greatness
and the horrible emotion of fear
with abandoned use of his body
and a powerful flexible voice. It
was a very good performance.
And yet because of hasty pre-
paration undoubtedly. it failed in
the one aspect essential to the pro-
duction. O'Neil's play is repetitious
(that is the scenes in the forest
are duplicate) unless the produc-
tion gives these scenes a subtle
crescendo which must work on the
audience as the growth in intensity
of fear. This crescendo is supposed
to be echoed off stage also by a
similar one in the rythmn and in-
tensity of the drum beats. Neither
crescendo was achieved.

G-E Floodighting Wins Favor for

Football - Hockey

- Track - Baseball - Tennis

G-E floodlighting equipment has a winning record. Its victories are
counted in terms of pleased spectators, increased attendance, satisfied
coaches and players.
The development of G-E athletic-field floodlighting equipment was
planned with every consideration for the fundamental and special playing
conditions it must meet. That is why the big Novalux projectors give
ample and evenly diffused light over the entire playing area.
The development of General Electric floodlighting equipment has
largely been the work of college-trained men in the G-E organization
- other college-trained men are largely responsible for the continuing
leadership of General Electric in furnishing the many other products
which bear the G-E monogram.
