"But for years the People have quarrelled with one another. Many terrible wars have been cul. minated by a horrid conflict in which all nations struggled. This is not right. The People have in their stupidity created problems with which they are not fit to cope. Concerned with devastating carnage they overloolk many of the earth's benefits. Experience alone will teach them to cease theirj bestial foolishness. "But some of the problems can be solved more simply. In economy they must observe the prin- ciples which. Man mind has already revealed. Peo- ple must not fail to recognize the limits laid down on the amount of credit which can be extended in trade and investment activities; while at the. same time they must preserve the necessary amount for free intercourse. Now VMan scrambles for profits grossly out of proportion to that which the ini dividual deserves. This can mean only inevitable destruction of his society. "Man must learn that the benefits of Earth arc placed there for all to share. One being dare not usurp more than a reasonable portion lest he do cruel injustice to his neighbor. Correct principles of distribution have been manifest to Man. He must apply them." The message concluded with: 'But Human kind has reached so low an ebb that immediate assistance is imperative. Truly Great Men are needed to lead the People in courageous fortItude to point the way to economic acjustrrcnt ; to acl- ministrate universal charity; to mold opinion until War has no place in the Human heart.

CTJLLEN KENNEDY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBR 9, 1931.t Faculty anid Tine Clocks FACULTY opposition of the Literary College to the plan- of the administration requesting a report as to the number 6f hours that are being spent in the preparation of classes and for lec- tures and other details relative to the use of faculty time during the year does not come as a surprise. such a "report card" system is as unwise as it is absurd. Reasons for the inovation are vague; and whatever purpose it is intended to serve, it is certain to be a source of irritation. the opposition seems to be directed not at the questions asked by the aidmistration, but the principle involved. To ask a menber of the faculty the amount of time spent in preparing for classes and lectures, in holding student conferences, in grading papers, in conducting graduate work, in doing research,--these and other questions aimed at ascertaining the extent to which one spends his time, would not only be impossible, but would. savor too much of the ridiculous. The administra- tion cannot request professors to carry with them a stop-watch, and that time spent in work relating to the University be recorded minute by minute. The professor who is ranked among leaders in his field has not spent two or three or four hours in preparing for a class or a lecture. He h.,s spent many years, perhaps twenty or thirty or forty, in order that he might be better able to place before his classes the knowledge which they are seeking. One may ask, What of the time spent in social functions? Should such time be considered as time spent' in working-if one must take it this way-for the administration? Our answer is that it should, for attendance at social functions serves to bring the University into relationship not only with those immediately connected with it as the bjdy proper, such as the students, but with those outside its academic domain. The body politic looks to the Universityfor leadership. If, then, as President Ruthven has said, the University is be- coming "the brain of society," how can such lead- ership, continue to grow if the members of the faculty do not spend time in social functions with those on The outside, so to speak? A representa- tive of the University, whether an administrativeI officer, faculty member, or student, is an ambass- dor, is it were, bringing before the public the purpose, the aims, and the reasons of the. Univer- sity as such for existence. In the present order, specialization has made its presence known in no uncertain degree. It has found its way into the University, for the various public services of the institution are extending to those not on the campus. But universities should not be placed on an equality with factories. They are in no way related. Factories have time-clocks. But there is no need for them in educational insti- tutions. IHeaIlthService Appendicitis is a disease of young people, 50 pez cent of the cases occurring before the twontieth year. At the Health Service during the year 1930-31 there were 3,6 students operated upon for appendicitis. Dur- ing the same period, 65 other students were under observation for the condition but operation vas not necessary. Sudden pain in the abdomen, usually localizing in 'the right lower side, is the main symptom. VThen i occurs, a physician should be consulted immediately. Other symptoms are nausea, vomit~ing and f - _r. When the appendix is acutely inflammed, any- thing which increases intestinal motion may increase the inflammation or cause the appendix to rupture. So food and laxatives are decidedly contra indicated at that time. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, emphasizes this in one of his axioms. He wrote, "In sharpe diseases and in their beginning we ought seldom to use a purging medicine. Neither must it be done without great advice and judgment." With all that has been written and spoken about the dangers of taking cathartics in the presence of abdominal pain, it is most distressing to find that it is still being done. Every year a number of deaths from acute appendicitis occur and the large majority of these cases had taken a laxative to relieve their pain.4 However, the constant haranguing against this custom has educated many people and this is reflect- ed in the student attitude. On the whole, student cases are seen early and they have not medicated themselves. This allows for prompt diagnosis and operation if it is indicated. Since they have not ag- gravated the existing inflammation by taking any cathartics, there are few cases of ruptured appendices and recovery after operation is very rapid and satis- factory. For the students seem to have absorbed the essen- tial fact that with any kind of abdominal pain, one does not treat oneself. They do the proper thing in reporting to a physician proynptly and make no at- tempt to treat themselves.

To The Editor: As one of the audieine attending the lecture given by Dr. Chang, visiting professor at the University of Chicago last Friday, on the question of the Manchur- ian situation, I should like to express my appreciation for his interesting, humorous and appealin talk. We were carried away by his enthusiasm, but since the problem of Manchuria is a matter of considerable significance not only to the parties concerned, but to the world at large, the lecturer should have given this affair an impartial and fair judgment. ' AND THE PAYCOKi as attained a degree of perfection hardly war- ranted by tho play itself, which, at its best, is not great drama. This exceedingly flexible cast not only t succeeded in bringing some rather flabby literature into vivid life, but projected so much of their own genius and feeling into the produc- tion that the acting was by far the more remarkable part of last l night's performance than any in- herent excellence in the book. It is by no means an inferior drama, and its high points are magnificent, but the author has failed to retain even a consistent tenor to his piece. For instance.. the many soliloquies are a technical gaucherie which ne- eessarily inhibit smoothness an ;ive a defnite rense of unrahlity to the audienc. But of greater signi- fica . sini ficance is Che excessive melod-rama of ,pa is of the play, which by and large, purports to be realistic. In scenes such as the lamentation of fir,. Tancred, repeated by Juno, de- part from the otherwise consistent realism' it must be admitted to Eileen Crowe's credit, however, that she played this scene yth a re- straint and feeling that raised it lefinitely above the plane of melo- lrama. Minor faults of the vehicle are the irrelevancies bro ,ht in by the character of Johnny, whose part involved the reference to a political situation-of-the-moment obscure to an American audience, and for this reason necessarily at- tended with some -awkwardness Instead of revealing any deep na- tional feeling, it cast a rather distracting aura of Chicago gang- dom about the scenes in which it figured. Though it is classifled by the au- thor as a tragedy, the comic ele- ments of JUNO AND THE PAY- COCK were emphasized in the first two asts. The atmosphere of Act I might possibly be termed as semi- tragic in view of the poverty of the environr ent and of Juno's futile nggle against it; the ride of the Boyle family to comparative afflu- ence becaide high comedy, broken _ rudely by Mrs. Tancred. From this peak the action drops gradually in- to tragedy, each event succeeding its predecessor in intensity. A last touch of comic relief, in which Cap- tain Boyle returns drunk to the - shattered home in which he had strutted so proudly, serves to in- tensify the tragedy without sending the audience away in too black despair. The clarity of form and theme are ample evidence of Mr. O'Casey's genius in conception of idea; it is his faulty execution of details that mars the piece. The chief contribution of the cast was their interpretation and intensification of this theme which the author did not perfectly ex- press. This they did with a sym- pathy and emphasis on essentials that was remarkable. They display- ed an ability to harmonize and un- ify diverse elements, and to give the whole an intensity seldom achieved on the American stage, which seems to run toward super- ficial treatment of complicated ma- terial Tather than deeply-studied presentation of the elemental pas- sions. The performance as a whole was noteworthy for its restraint. Em- phasis has been laid on attainment of this quality by directors since the inception of the Abbey Players as an Irish national institution. The comic scenes did not in any instance degenerate in t o farce, neither was the tragedy allowed to become mawkish. Rather than lim- iting the effects, as might be ex- pected, they were emphasized and heightened by the quiet manner in which they were produced. Captain Boyle was the instrument of most of the comedy, yet he was consis- tently harmonious and never guilty of burlesque. It is exceedingly grat- ifying to see a part like that of Ju- 'o taken with dignity, after the!1 garbled interpretation of melodra- - matic characters which are com- mon to plays locally produced. The finish and sympathy of her acting made the bad drama she had to overcome seem incidental; she did not make the mistake of intruding her own personality, but subjected herself to her part with true The- spian artistry. The cast as a whole were part of this harmony, which Great Men to Lead Us Forth T HOUSANDS of years after God created the Earth all Heavens became deeply concerned with its welfare. The people there had through
