Little or no opposition has been encountered so ar by the President-much to the advantage of he whole nation in the present crisis. It is easy to understand why Congress has, at east for the time being, adopted so helpful an attitude. President Roosevelt, in the fashion of rheodore Roosevelt, keeps his plans before the public, whose will the Congress knows it must :bey. And in the fashion of Woodrow Wilson he is utilizing every constitutional power available to :irect the senators and representatives. When it .s recalled that one of these powers is that of ap- pointment, and that there are some 130,000 Fed- eral positions to be filled, with several times as many loyal partisans of the members of Con- gress clamoring for jobs, it is easy to see why congressmen are toeing the mark. And underlying and inspiring the results that the President is getting, of course, lies the sort of courage that we need but so seldom get in our leaders. Further than Congress and the people, most newspapers are lining up in what might be termed a "national coalition" to support the chief execu- tive. When the Republican New York Post edi- torially declares that the action of the President s "sound as a bell," and that "the new adminis- tration has magnificently met its great oppor- tunity," there can be no doubt that the spirit of co-operation pervades the ai. And with that true wemayhave ;faith that our country will emerge victorious from the war on Depression.

WAY PRESENTS SIX FACTS ABOUT THE SOCIALISTS To The Editor: Your editorial in yesterday's Daily deals with a problem which confronts co-operative ventures for self-help among students, namely, how will such ventures in their early stages be controlled and managed? Before giving my ideas I would like to clear up a few points in your discussion of recent changes in Socialist House No. 1. I point out the following facts: 1. The founders of the house no longer have any control as a group over any of the affairs of the house, except that of interpretation of the constitution. 2. As those who started the house, the found- ers were well within their rights in setting up the type of house government they deemed most sat- isfactory and in appointing the first executive committee as provided in the new constitution. 3. Controls from now on is in the hands of the executive committee. 4. Members of the executive committee may be recalled at the end of each semester by majority vote of the members. Such vacancies, and others as may occur will be filled by election. 5. Each member of the executive committee is in charge of some department of the house, as house work, kitchen work, etc. The committee thus consists of functional officers. 6. Any member of the house guilty of exploit- ing another member of the house or operating any department of the house for his own profit shall be subject to immediate expulsion. It will be seen therefore that the editor was wrong in saying that the new constitution puts absolute control in the hands of the eight foun- ders. Is such a system of functional control a "fine thing for the managers" as opposed to the other members. I call your attention to fact number six, above. The amount of work done by the commit- teemen is never less than the four hours a week expected of members. Now for a word on student collectives in gen- eral. Many American students are confronted with serious economic problems. We must decide whether we shall continue to rely on our chances in, the scramble for jobs, loans and charity, or whether we shall seek to collectivize our economic life. The co-operatives at Michigan represent a collective economic effort to increase our stand- ard of living by cutting out unnecessary ex- penses which would fall on us as individual con- sumers. To carry on such movements in their younger stages requires quite.strict control within each group, and a type of organization more re- sembling that of an Arctic expedition than a church young peoples' society. -Stewart Way. Editorial Comment institutions the plan does work, and works well. An example is Antioch College, a relatively small co-educational institution. When an examination is given there, the instructor, upon centering the examination room, gives out the questions and paper, and immediately walks out, leaving the matter of cribbing up to each individual. Students are permitted to leave the room at any time, and may return at any time within the three hours duration of the examination. This is a privilege which is highly valued there, and any students cbserved cheating are immediately ostracized by 'heir fellow classmates. It is a well known but deplorable fact that the honor system is not effective in colleges and uni- versities whose only entrance requirement is scho- lastic proficiency in some small degree. Too many 2:tudents are intelligent enough to be admitted, but lack of integrity necessary to make the system a success. -Purdue Exponent AND NOW, CHILDREN- If a student misses classes, the teacher na- turally will take off of his grade. A furlough doesn't compensate for a cut. And the idea of telling a student he must attend class or have a black mark put against his name in the dean's office seems childish. It probably is needed in high school, but we still maintain that a college administration has more important things to do than feeding its students from a spoon. -The Daily O'Collegian SCreen efeC&ions III f i ' li l k YlI 1 ART CINEMA LEAGUE TO BRING YOUNG COMPOSER HERE THURSDAY Roy Harris, sensational young American com- poser, has been secured by the Art Cinema League for a lecture on "The Challenge of Contemporary American Music" at 8:15 Thursday, March 23 in Hill Auditorium, it was announced yesterday. There will be no admission charge to associate members of the Art Cinema League. Others will be admitted for 25 cents. Mr. Harris has gained no little favorable com- ment for his musical compositions, and is said to be an authority on the subject he has chosen for his address. He comes to Ann Arbor with Mr. Johnson sent the following letter in praise of Mr. Harris to oflicials "of the Art Cinema League. To the Executive Committee of the Art Cinema League: Eminent critics in both Europe and America have recognized in Roy Harris one of the most significant talents in all contemporary music. He is the only American composer who has been extravagantly praised by musical conserv- atives, liberals and radicals alike. He is a young man in his early thirties, and already has to his credit a formidable list of compositions in the larger forms. His works have been widely performed in Europe and America. Many, in- cluding the writer, consider him the first au- thentic, serious American composer. Although his conception of form is derived fundamen- tally from Beethoven, the other elements of his music have their roots deeply imbedded in American culture, especially those elements that lie outside New York and New England. He is an excellent lecturer, musician and critic. No one in the country is better qualified to speak on the challenge of contemporary music than Mr. Harris.

THE LAW It is amazing to note the great ignorance prev- alent among the common herd as to the exact position of the law in their daily turn of life. There is nothing more obvious than the palpable fear which the average man entertains for the machinery of the law. It has been said by a prominent lawyer that in the courts, three business men out of ten, upon being asked to place their right hand on the' Bible to take oath, will place their left hand in- stead. Such goes to show the attitude which is common among us. If it was only known that if anyone is brought up in court and accused of anything, the accused has every.advantage that can be given to him. Every factor is interpreted in-his favor that is pos- sible. .He is given the option of a quick trial. He is given the advantage of appeal to the highest authorities in the land. If a judgment is given, or a law passed, under even the slightest circumstances, the law is backed up by every officer of the law, every soldier, and if necessary, is in theory backed up by every means of force in the empire. In these. modern days, and especially within the British Empire, the law is one of the most potent forces available. The law is set by the va- rious legislative assemblies and powers are im- plemented by the courts, and as such the courts are the final and all powerful means of preserving law and order in the country. If a law is passed in the parliament it will be tested in the courts, and declared intra or ultra vires. Once established,; it cannot be set aside. The judge on the bench is probably far weaker physically than the accused, yet he is chosen by reason of his knowledge of the law and equity. The 12 jurors are taken from the ordinary walks of life. They represent a cross section of society. Furthermore, if the accused thinks that any one is given the opportunity of challenging them, and having them replaced to his satisfaction. Probably the most that any college student has to do with the law has been when he has received a ticket for speeding and is haled before the local magistrate. One cannot gain a knowledge of the law from that. If every man and woman visited the courts, even if only once, he or she might gain some knowledge of how the country is governed, and how they are protected in every way by the law. What is conducive for a well-organized and har- monious community is knowledge and respect for the law, not ignorance and fear. --McGill Daily I the unstinted praise of Hunter M.

"'l'he Way 0O1t." 4 __ s~S'lTPES T HE PHENOMENAL SUCCESS of the Frosh Frolic since the price has been reduced points unmistakably to the va- lidity of arguments that cutting prices on campus functions increases the demand. In other words, students want to go places just as badly as they ever did, but they no longer have the money to pay pre-depression prices. Miny campus functions have been extremely reluctant to reduce the price of tickets on the theory that the price makes very little difference once the student has mane up his mind to attend. Another theory is that many think the party has been cheapened because of the reduced admission. No more conclusive retort to these fallacies could be made than the sell-out for the Frolic. The members of the committee for the annual freshman dance are to be commended for their initiative in putting the price within the range of most of the students on the campus. With the success of this dance as a precedent, it was announced last night that the committee for the Slide Rule dance had made the same move and reduced the price to $1.50.
