the state would have fallen.
The appropriation to the University from the
Sstate could not have helped being disastrously
affected by the injury to the banking system and
it is not impossible that funds would have been
lacking to keep the University operating.
r So Ann Arbor, as well as Detroit, breathes a
,igh of relief at the announcement that these
two banks have been taken over and put back
on a sound basis with a 40 per cent deposit pay-
off expected.

inkers Change;
ijior Mades Conform.* *
IN THE DAY of tailor-made minds
and canned courses, nothing is
e encouraging than to discover a group that
t least trying to think for itself. The alleged
icalism of youth is not really radicalism. It is
ely a defense mechanism built up to shield an
'ained horror of unconventional ideas. We are
id of censure if we change the .pattern.
4h laughs at real radicals.
he purpuse of the Spring Parley, which will
held from March 31 to April 2, is to examine
ically these conventions that determine our
le of living, to sort out the prejudices from
fundamentals, to discuss the problems and the
,ning of life, to compare religious beliefs.
s usual, thinking students will attend the par-
and benefit thereby. The tailor-mades will stay
y and continue blindly to conform.
IMES CHANGE. Men change with
time.
Lenin-1913, soap-box orator in New York,
quaint figure of the Bohemian village, amusing
but harmless radical.
Lenin--1919, master of the destinies of one of
the world's largest nations, exponent of a new
philosophy.
Lenin-1933, an immortal figure in world his-r
tory, uncanonized saint of Russian communism,
his mummified body the shrine of the Russian
people,
Von Papen-1914, vigorous young consul of the
German government at Washington.
Von Papen-1916, condemned by the American
government for violation of his neutrality rights.
Reputed to be the conspirator who directed sab-
otage in the United States. Returned to Germany
in diplomatic disgrace.
Von Papen-1932, Chancellor of Germany,
tried to sidetrack Hitler into vice-chancellorship.
Von Papen-1933 , Vice-chancellor of Germany,
his personality hidden by the superiority of
Hitler.
Kerensky, 1918-Ruler of Russia, destinies
of a great nation in his hands.
Kerensky, 1933-Idle dreamer making the
rounds of the Paris cafes.
Hoover, 1919-A nation's hero, great humani-
tarian.
Hoover, 1933-Retired from the American pres-
idency, overwhelmingly rejected by the American
people.
Kaiser Wilhelm-"!917, "bloodthirsty ogre,"
"german butcher."
Kaiser Wilhelm-1933, a broken old man,
"woodchopper of Doorn."
Raymond Robins-1919, head of the American
Red Cross mission in Russia, a dominating per-
sonality.
Raymond Robins-1932, wanders off into the
Carolina hills, his mind failing.
Hitler-1920, humble Austrian paperhanger.
Hitler-1921, leader of a ridiculous Ruhr revo-
lution, sentenced to prison, the laughing stock
of Germany.
Hitler--1933, Chancellor and dictator of Ger-
many.
Franklin D. Roosevelt-1921, a hopeless paraly-
tic, condemned to spend the life of an invalid.
Franklin D. Roosevelt-1933, President of the
United States, assuming dictatorial powers in a
time of crisis.
Time, personalities, two great elements, ever
changing.
Editorial Comment
EaS'na~ QO
students, cut out several colleges, or give the fac-
ulty a huge wage cut.
A committee delegated by our own state legis-
lature will visit the University Thursday and Fri-
day. The opinions that they form of us will carry
a great deal of weight when the time arrives
for the legislature to make our state appropria-
tion. It is up to the University faculty and student
body to show these visitors a spirit of co-operation
that will speak well for the work being done here.
Naturally, the members of the committee will
have a number of questions to ask. As- hosts to
visitors, we should be eager to answer these ques-
tions pleasantly and correctly. As for the military
parade, students should enter that with the spirit
of doing their best to give a performance that
will be a credit to the University.
This tendency for students to smoke in door-
ways of the building instead of on the sidewalks
is unsightly enough without the bad habit of
throwing cigarette butts, empty packages, and old
paper around. This habit should always be dis-
couraged; at a time like this when we are going
to have visitors who might jump to the wrong
conclusion about students as a whole if such prac-
tlces were so obvious, it is especially bad. The
success of the legislators' trip depends largely
upon the student body of the University; can we
rise to the test? -Daily Illini.

Good showmanship was not - confined entirely
to the days of Barnum and Bailey-it even existed
in the early eighteenth century. Proof of this
are organ concertos which G. F. Handel wrote
to be played between the sections of his oratorios,
for with an eye to public approbation, he realized
that his great fame and personal popularity
would bring people to hear him play and, by
necessity, they would have to listen to his vocal
works, also.
In a contrasting manner in the Suite of Paul
de Maleingreau, who uses his harmonic material
with a modernistic freedom, avoiding, however,
the extremeties of the contemporary tendencies.
It is imaginative music, music that has "some-
thing to say," with much of the devotion and
spirituality of Franck, and the artistic integrity
that characterizes the immortal Bach.
Back in the formalities o the seventeenth
century we find the Couperin Rondo character-
istic of the precise and almost frigid conventional
France at the time when it was written. The
Toccata of Frescobaldi, composed to be played
during the actual service of the Mass, derived
its free improvisation-like character from the
form in which it was written, rather than from
the style of the work itself, which is laden with
the humility of the truly devout,

T HE COLLEGE generation is about
to have an entirely new experience,
that of placing one foot on the bar and ordering
a glass of beer-without violating the law.
At last, the legalization of beer seems a cer-
tainty. President Roosevelt today will sign a bill
providing for 3.2 per cent beer. The law will offi-
cially go into effect either on April 6 or on April
7, depending on a legal technicality. Undoubtedly,
the state law forbiding the sale of beer will be
changed prior to that time.
The next step for the anti-prohibitionists is,
of course, that of passing the twenty-First
Amendment, which would repeal the expensive
Eighteenth. Whether 36 states will ratify the,
measure is debatable. Organized minorities die
hard. But the wets in this state, at least, seem
to be gaining ground. Yesterday the Heidkamp
act, which sets up the machinery for the calling
of a ratification convention on April 10, was held
valid by the state Supreme Court. The Rev. R. N.
Holsaple and his Michigan Anti-Saloon League
seem to have made a last stand.
Personally, we feel that if the country is to
have complete repeal, the beer bill, by legalizing
first a beverage that is low in alcoholic content,
will go a long way toward teaching the American'
public, particularly the college generation, some
of the funduamental rules of drinking. That col-
lege students have not, under Volsteadism, mas-
tered these rules becomes evident if one reads
the police blotter in any University town. If 3.2
per cent beer will teach them temperance we have
made a forward step that may make the average
American a more psycholotically sound person,
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
At a time when Cornell is especially striving for
greater co-operation between alumni and under-
graduates with the idea of increasing the renown
of the fair name of Cornell in the various hin-
terlands, it seems very judicious for the Uni-
versity to consider liberalization of its entrance
requirements. Liberalization would not indicate
any lowering of standards for admission, but
would serve to admit those students who, al-
though capable and well prepared to attack the
scholastic problems of University life. failto have
the exact prerequisites necessary to hurdle the
entrance requirements barrier.
Princeton's recent solution to this problem
could well be studied with an eye toward greater
freedom in preparatory schools for those who
elect Cornell as a future Alma Mater. At Old Nas-
sau, the Board of Trustees recently reduced the
time-honored fifteen units to a minimum of
twelve, leaving to the individual preparatory
schools the prerogative of expanding the student's
course beyond' the bare requirement of twelve
units.
Such a proposal does not entail lowering of
standards, but rather greater responsibility on the
part of the secondary school to fit the student
for college work. In this way the student is freed
from taking courses in preparatory school in
which he is not interested and which he has no
wish to continue in college. The admission to a)
university thus no longer becomes an end in itself,
but rather a transfer of study from one institution
to another.
Of course the first step in the adoption of such
a policy of twelve units minimum requirements
necessitates a closer contact between the Uni-
versity and the various schools which serve as
training farms for future Cornell students. Such
contact in itself would be greatly desirable in
carrying the name of Cornell to the far reaches
of the country, and would aid materially in the
successful operation of this scheme whereby the
University leaves part of the choice of prepara-
'ion to the student and preparatory institution.
The benefits which would accrue to the Uni-
versity would be both scholastic and financial. By
ascertaining more closely the sub-freshman's
course of study in high or prep school, the Uni-
versity would be better equipped to help him
continue this course throughout his college career.
1y expansion of the numbers who desire to come
to Cornell and greater operating efficiency of thej
selective system, larger registration and decreased
dismissal list would result. It is a plan well worth
careful consideration by the Board of Trustees
in these troublous educational times'.

LEGAL NOTE
The kind of legal beer that Congress just
passed is going to be a grat thing, because
the law says it isn't going to be intoxicatin,
