would welcome any attempt to lessen the possibilities
of another war. And further, is not the anniversary
of the end of ,this tragic Great war which failed in
most of its "sloganified" aims a most proper time at
which to make a plea for greater effort in slowing
or stopping the threatening march of another con-
flict? Roger 0. Egeberg.
The Daily did not comment on the situation since
it believed that the entire chain of events referred to
above was a result of a misfortunate understanding
of the words "the other side." Major Edwards, did
not refuse the committee a place on the program;
he only told them that he was not in charge of the

To The Editor:
In view of the possibilities for harm which may
result directly from it, the charge made by your
reporter, Mr. Seiffert, in his write-up of the open
forum on "Sex and the College Student" is certainly
unwarranted.
The report's lead was given over to a caustic
criticism of the intelligence shown by the audience
that had packed the Natural Science auditorium to
participate in the discussion. The criticism was based
upon the reluctance of the audience to comply with
Doctor Forsythe's request for questions from the
floor.
It is only natural that few persons in the audience
raised questions, because of the nature of the topic
involved and the possibilities for embirrassment
growing out of facing an audience of that size. There
was no evidence of unintelligence or disrespect on
the part of the audience; had those present been
given an opportunity to write their questions and
pass them in to the speaker's table, an infinitely
greater number of pertinent cases would have been
forthcoming. This is only natural, and has been
proven at similar forums in the past.
With regard to possible harm resulting from the
charge, the sponsors of such forums, if they are to
feel --as Mr. Seiffert would have them feel - that
the audiences drawn to such meetings are not seri-
ous-minded, will no doubt see fit to discontinue them,
with a resultant loss to true intellectual opportunities
on this campus. J. Truman Steinko, '33.
Mr. Seiffert based his statement on the fact that,
while Dr. Forsythe was seriously and scientifically
discussing his subject, the audience seemed to find
his remarks humorous. We quote from Mr. Seiffert's
story: . . .Dr. Forsythe found difficulty in emphasiz-
ing his major points because of the fact that his
audience repeatedly broke into loud laughter. At one
point in his address, the speaker was forced to tell
the audience that he considered the matter "one of
extreme seriousness, rather than an occasion for
levity."-The Editors.

UIN FORTUNA T ELY, we find usually ourselves
U unable to agree with our eastern contempo-
raries. In particular, we are unable to concur in
the findings of the Columbia Spectator, whose
conclusions on the football situation we publish
below. While in part their facts may be true, their
comments are not justifiable.,
There is no doubt but that alumni constitute
a powerful factor in football. Every time a team
loses three or four games, alumni begin to howl
for the coach's scalp. The importance of winning
games has created an overemphasis of the value
of the sport. But not to the extent of advocating
professionalizing the sport. We doubt seriously
whether the promised increase in student interest
would be awakened in this way. As for making
the entire system student-run and student-organ-
ized, there would be just as large a chance for
semi-professionalization as there is at present.
Should the coaches direct the games from the
sidelines? There has been considerable discussion
of this question, and we find that several years
Detroit high schools ruled that basketball coaches
would have to attend the games in the bleachers,
permitting the students or the captain to run the
team. This move was one in the right direction,
but not a lsting one. Even on this campus, there
have been complaints about football men receiving
tickets. After all, when they spend three to four
hours a day on the football field for the better part
of a semester, they have a right to some compensa-
tion other than a sweater. Other extra-curricular
activities recompense their participants without
professionalizing the field. Why not football?
But perhaps, as Coach Yost has hinted, it is
because of the difference between East and West.
Here, with the Big Ten conference, we have our
own check-ups, as witness the unfortunate Iowa
episode two years ago. Nevertheless, we are afraid
that the Columbians are calling "Wolf, Wolf" too
early. When the time comes, it will not be heard.

To The Editor:
I should like to congratulate Major Edwards on
his war-like strategy in flatly refusing the Student
Disarmament committee a few words in the Armis-
tice day program..
Having read the front page article in a Detroit
paper and the editorial reprinted without comment
in The Daily, I would venture to guess he has
accomplished his aim and that the recruiting officers
of the R. O. T. C. must certainly have their hands
full in taking care of the student enlistment.
However, it. pains me not a little that a man of
FOOTBALL
.l
(The Columbia Spectator)
For some years, American intercollegiate football
has been in a sad condition. What was originally a
game designed primarily for the student player has
become a semi-professional racket operated largely
for the amusement of the alumni and the general
public. The game, which in itself is one of the world's
best sports, has been gradually grinding itself out of
the student consciousness until probably 80 per cent
of the men who play college football in the bigger
institutions are semi-professional athletes hired by
assistant coaches who make annual pilgrimages to
prep schools. Student support has dropped consider-
ably, an inevitable reaction to strong commercialism.
Alumni bodies have clamored until authorities have
yielded to pressure and allowed great scholastic lati-
tude to football players and have, in some cases,
even revised admission requirements to get prospec-
tive players admitted to their institutions. Coaches,
who should be merely teachers of the game, have
become czars of their domains. From offices they
control almost entirely the campus lives of their
players. From sideline benches they direct all the
playfng during games. To expect real student sup-
port in a situation like that, is to expect the impos-
sible. The gradual development, throughout the na-
tion, of undergraduate disinterest in the football
situation is wholly in accord with existing conditions.
College football, as maintained today, has no
place on intercollegiate gridirons. It belongs in pro-
fessional stadia. The game is run for gate receipts,
over-emphasized by- heavy publicity barrages, direct-
ed by excessively paid coaching staffs and supported
largely by the alumni and the outside public rather
than by student bodies. It is interesting to note in
this connection that the organized professional foot-
ball leagues are being developed to a high point of
perfection and are winning more and more support-
ers away from the college semi-professionals.,
If colleges are to continue to cater to the general
public and the alumni in conducting football pro-
grams, let the situation at least be clarified. As
Heywood Broun suggested recently, let the alumni
pay a good living wage to every football man, openly
and not underhandedly. Let all scholastic require-
ments be waived for football players. Let honest
professionalism replace furtive hypocrisy.
If, on the other hand, football is to be a student
activity, supported and played by students in good
standing, changes must be effected, and those whole-
heartedly. Rabid alumni should be made to realize
that any man who supports his college after gradua-
tion merely because it has a good football team is
revealing how little he gained from his undergradu-
ate experience. Professional coaches should be in-
structors-rather than dictators. As at Boston Uni-
versity this season, student captains should direct
the strategy on the field during games, without
coaches on the sidelines to make decisions. In prac-
tice sessions, the coaches should, of course, hold sway.
The elaborate'staffs of experts now directing foot-
ball should be cut drastically and they should be
recompensed on a basis comparable to that of other
faculty positions, the head coach at a professor's
salary and each assistant at an instructor's salary.
High-powered ballyhoo machines with publicity ex-
perts, special profit-making programs, and other
unsavory paraphernalia should be torn out by the
One of the choicest exhibits of
painting that is likely to be seen
in Ann Arbor this year has just
been hung in Gallery B, Alumni
Memorial Hall. It is a small selec-
tion of pictures, mostly modern
American and French, from the
private collection of Mr. Duncan
Phillips of Washington, D. C., and
is made accessible to our local pub-
lic through the initial generosity
of the owner, an enthusiast for
modern art, and through the offi-
ces of the Ann Arbor Art Associa-
tion working in conjunction with
the American Federation of Arts.
So numerous are the groups of
modern pictures being circulated
through various agencies nowa-
days, even in smaller places like
Ann Arbor, that there is no justifi-
cation for anyone interested re-
maining unfamiliar with contem-
porary tendencies in painting. The
present collection not only well re-
flects what is going on artistically
in the world we live in,,but has the
added charm of embodying the
taste and personal bias of an in-
telligent and liberal-minded col-
lector, one who has thought and
written a good deal about the art
he has gathered about himself.
There is quite naturally a harmon-.
ious mood in the small group of
pictures assembled here-one might
call it restrained and gentle lyri-
cism. It will interest those not
wholly in sympathy with some of
the vigorous experiment going on
in modern painting to see how ad-
mirably the newer idiom lends it-
self to the expression of a quiet
emotional mood. One of the pleas-
antest impressions one gets from
this group of work is of its sure-
ness, lightness of touch, economy
of means and absence of struggle.
Nowhere is there an effect of forc-
ing, straining after a result, or
overstatement. Each of the artists
chosen, in the particular pictures
exhibited here, remains well with-
in the limits of his own possibilities
and achieves wholly in his own1
terms his own peculiar mood and
effect.
It is gratifying to notice that
most of the pictures are American.
There is Bernard Karfiol's well-
known "Boy," which won an hon-
orable mention at tie Carnegie In-
ternational as long ago as 1924-
a subtly contrived mood of angular
line and gloomy color making of
it a kind of modern Melancholia
on a theme of adolescence. Carl
Knaths, one of the most serious
and original of the American ab-
stractionists, has a quietly witty
and entertaining still-life arrange-
ment, very beautiful in color and
full of felicitous relationships, one
of the most important pictures in
the show. A lovely landscape by
Max Weber has the pure boom of
thoroughly related and unforced
colorand shows perfectly how a
painting can be -a convincing de-
scription of reality and at the same
time a singing piece of abstract de-
sign. Next it is a resonant color
harmony by the veteran French
Bonnard, a fine example, but 'no
whit more beautiful than the Web-
er. Georgia O'Keeffe, the almost
legendary leader of all women
painters in America, is represented
by a small but quietly effective ar-
rangement of leaf -forms, many
times magnified, well worthy of.
careful study. Marsden Hartley,
sometimes called the Grand Old
Young Man of the moderns, has a
decorative vase of flowers in his
somewhat arbitrarily arranged and
extremly forceful early manner. A
fantasy "Exiles" by Peppino Man-
gravite is from his native Lipari,
the romantic prison-island.
