Watts Dorothy LeMire Johanna Wiese Dorothy Laylin SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1931 Night Editor-JOHN D. REINDEL HARVARD VS. PRINCETON. Announcements were made yes- terday to the nation's press that Harvard, at least, is willing to let by-gones be by-gones as far as the Princeton-Crimson break-up of four years ago is concerned. Nothing was forthcoming as to Princeton's ideas on the subject, but a reaction is expected. The original statement came from William J. Bingham, di- rector of athletics at Cambridge, following heated &mands of the 4'Princetonian" and "Harvard Crim- son" that the breach be mended as soon as R1ossible. The official statement accredited to Bingham was that "Harvard is willing, even eager, to meet Prince- ton in any sport, including football, that we play." Bingham continued that he believed a game could be scheduled on the gridiron between these two teams as early as Octo- ber, 1933. The move followed a per- sistent undercurrent of thought by the Harvard and Princeton student bodies concerning re-opening nego- tiations between the two schools athletically. The original break occurred after the football season of 1926 when alleged roughness and unfair play on the part of both teams followed a series of interchanged slurs by the Harvard "Lampoon" and the Prince- ton "Tiger" which culminated in the Princeton-Harvard f o o t b a11 program published by the "Lam- poon" and bearing a cover depict- ing a pig in a sty saying to a much- mired companion, "Come, brother, and Root for deah old Princeton." The break had been coming, how- ever, for many years before. One of the classic games in the East, the Harvard-Princeton tilt got more and more out of control and offi- cials of both schools sighed with relief when negotiations were com- pleted calling off the contests. Re- opening of the negotiations is still a great way off in football, the in- terview stated, but for minor sports, basketball, baseball, and track a well-defined agreement is forth- coming in the very near future. riety and, according, something to be avoided. But this attitude is changing. The newspaper public is now com- ing to believe as do newspaper pub- lishers that there is nothing inher-. ently wrong or harmful in publi- city and that it may often be used to serve worth-while purposes. More and more persons are becoming convinced that news concealment generally leads to far worse effects than does news publication. In this regard, the Houston Press advocates the printing of all crime news as a deterrent of crime. The Press declares: "We cannot avoid printing crime news, but we can prevent crime being made attrac- tive.... Print crime news, yes, be- cause that is our duty, but tell the story so that the world will shud- der, not desire to emulate." This is a clear statement of the way pub- licity can and should be used. In any newspaper field, whether it be rural, college, or metropolitan, the advantages of publicity, rightly handled, are ever apt to outweigh the disadvantages. Considerations of public welfare alone can justify the suppression of news facts pos- sessed of sufficient reader interest to demand being given publicity.

AN INDIAN REPLIES TO "INDIA FALTERS." To the Editor: Permit me to correct three mis- taken assumptions on which the recent editorial "India Falters" is based. First is the false assumption that "delegates" from India to the Round Table Conference, whether Princes or subjects of the British, represent the politically conscious India that has been and is object- ing to British rule. These "dele- gates" were handpicked by the vice- roy for their loyalty not to India, but to Britain, to stage a farce of conference. This they have done. No one who knows anything about India will be convinced that any real conference may be held when the Indian National Congress does not participate, when leaders like Mrs. Naidu, Mr. Patel Motilal and Jawarharlal Nehru, Maulana Abul- Kalam Azad and above all others, Mahatama Gandhi, are not in the conference but in jail. A farce can be held without these leaders of India, not a conference. The second false assumption is the importance that is given to the statement of Sir Mohamed Shafi of Lahore. You may judge what position he must occupy in the eyes of Indians when you know that he was one of the few Indians, loyal to the British in 1919, who approved of the action of General Dyer, the author of the Amritsar massacre, and who the very next day went to the governor of the Punjab to re- assure him of his loyalty and sup- port. Knighthoods represent some service to Britain, and are not lightly given. The third false assumption is to have expected any permanent or final results from this conference. The Indian National Congress on December 31, 1929, declared the separation and complete indepen- dence of India. It is true that this has not been achieved so far. It took some other nations six and seven and ten years of continuous and bloody warfare to make their Declarations of Independence good. How many years it will take India by the non-resident and non-vio- lent methods remains to be seen. But to expect that India will re- main within the so-called common- wealth of British nations is to de- lude one's self. Furthermore, it is this Confer- FORSOOTH ! "Reading one book a day, it would take a person 2,125 years to read every bound volume in the Libra- ry" was the Daily's contribution to the world's supply of useless knowl- edge for yesterday. We venture to state, however, that this does not include the time you'd put in waiting for them, not to mention the fact that half of them wouldn't be there-after you'd waited-all of which only goes to prove the value of our recent suggestions anent the futility of the library. * * * That back page was a veritable gold mine, we are told.

In such situations the dog should be followed until confined where it can be observed during a period of ten days. It is necessary for a stu- dent to take immunizing treat- ments because of failure to keep observation of such a dog recently. Warren E. Forsythe in D. O. B. ". .. on account of it bit her." O BOY !

An audience which more than filled the theatre so strongly sug- gested their approval of this type of informal amateur evening that the series planned should prove a rich addition to student dramatics. There is a broad field of one-act play literature which is going more or less unexamined since the vogue has died out. Several different traditions are still well worthy of attention. One would like to suggest, for example, that Play Production fol- low up the initiation into Irish ways in the theatre, given them last spring by Lennox Robinson, with one or two of the outstanding Irish one-act plays by Yeats, Lady Greg- ory or Synge. At least more careful attention to the choice of plays could make the series an extremely significant one. The production of "Cinderella Married" had several salient de- fects: there seemed to be uncer- tainty in the director as to whether Barrie was writing an affecting drama of pathos about the impos- sibility of merging the classes or making an amusing whimsical comment. If it were the first, the production should have m o v e d much more swiftly and with some concentration on the motives in- volved. If it were the second, the production should have been more subtle, showing some awareness in the players of the whimsy. None of the performances was very.spirited. Each performance in fact was a little embarrassed: possibly by the quality of the play (in which case one can sympathize). Barrie's charwomen, backin' the war, were played with great speed and spirit, with Janet Woodmansee in particular giving a notable per- formance as Mrs. Dowey: a per- formance sensitive and certain in voice and movement. Alan Hand- ley played Kenneth with gusto and conviction; he was, however, quite too sophisticated to be really au- thentic. The direction was notable for realizing fine rhythms: particu- larly at the very opening where the fact that one wasn't really hearing what was said didn't matter. Charles Monroe rightly staged Philip Moeller's cartoon, making loud and broad slams at everything from Indian passion to blank verse, in a broad musical comedy tradi- tion with a good hilarious tempo,1 which got just about everything across. Notable in the production were Uldean Hunt's surprisingly ag- gressive necking, Adsit Stewart's fine snorts of indifference, Jane Robinson's impassioned intonation in evoking Gitchey-Gooey, and the honorable suffering of the English.
