Is Some Degree Of
Paternalism Inevitable?
MOST DISCUSSIONS about Univer-
sity paternalism, at least most of
the discussions that are heard on this campus,
assume that some sort of paternalism is funda-
mentally necessary. Some of us are definitely
opposed to the degree to which it is practiced
here; others defend the attitude of the adminis-
tration and argue for even more regulation. But
almost everyone who is credited with being serious
declares that some measure of paternalism is
essential to the student society of a University,
It is therefore most broadening to consider the
fundamentally different attitude which other
institutions hold.:
Count Carlo Sforza, the distinguished lecturer,
Italian senator, and former minister of foreign af-
fairs of Italy who has been lecturing here under
the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for In-
ternational Peace, tells us that the practice of
paternalism is unknown in the universities not
only of his own country but also of France. Any
attempt on the part of the universities in either
of these countries to regulate the social conduct
of students, he says, is unknown, both men and
women students being looked upon as sufficiently
mature to choose for themsleves their residences
and manner of social activity.
The universities of Italy and France are rated
excellent throughout the world. Every year they
attract large numbers of students from the United
States. Their policy of non-paternalism can not
be said to have failed.
Many persons are inclined to disregard the
practice of foreign universities as proving nothing
about our own. Italy and France are one place,
it is said; the United States is another. Yet
within the United States, and not far from the
University of Michigan, there is a successful in-.
stitution which has rejected the most conspicuous
characteristics of paternalism. We refer to Chi-
cago University, which has so far done away with
paternalism that regulations are no longer made
relative to the time women students must return
to dormitories.
And no one can deny Chicago University's em-
inence among schools of higher learning.
So perhaps it is not absurd to consider the
abolition here of paternalism. Perhaps discussions
on the subject should precede from another pre-
mise than that which assumes some form of pa-
ternalism is inevitable.
Hitler, The Dictator
Can He Carry The Load?
state, antagonizing some of the forces which had
been most subservient to the Hitler interests, it is
a popular government, it would seem. The recent
persecution threats against the Jews were greeted
with cries of "Hang them!" It would appear, from
press reports, that the sentiment was directed
against the Jews, not against Hitler. The dema-
goguery of the Nazi leader is well planned and
well executed; his policy is in many respects sui-
ciently similar to that of the highly successful
Mussolini to insure confidence on the part of the
German people.
But in important points it differs. Mussolini's
belligerence has often been misinterpreted; and
probably no one has been more misled than Hitler
himself. The latter, apparently, believes that the
sword's the thing; Mussolini has merely sought
to prevent froeign nations from interfering with
his attempt to stabilize the welfare 'of Italy, and
having achieved his reconstruction ideals he is
now making overtures for world peace and gen-
eral international amity. Hitler's measures have
not been confined to gaining German security;
he is patently covetous of extended domination,
and a positive program of territorial aggrandize-
ment is an integer in his purpose.
The Jewish terrorization has been variously in-
terpreted as resulting from fear, duress, racial
hatred. But it can be construed also as recogni-
tion by Hitler that the Jews are internationalists
by reason, by nature, and by habit, and hence
would probably be in opposition to his program.
Consequently he has sought, in a bluntly blunder-
ing fashion, to suppress thenm-and has been so
stupid as to expect that he can, by means of
threats, go so far as to stifle even the expression
of public opinion on the subject in every nation
in the world.
The little giant, Toothbrush Adolph, is riding
for a fall. His centrifugal policy cannot click with
the powerful interests of world intercourse; his
internal dominance, handled bluntly and untact-
fully as it is, cannot long hold sway over the ideas
of the German people, and most certainly can-
not fail to antagonize political parties. Retro-
gression is one of several tendencies that no longer
tolerated; the world has outgrown the sort of
policy that Hitler has adopted, and he is not
strong enough to carry the burden alone.
The Navy's Toys
Prove Too Costly...
F OUR-SCORE lives were lost yester-
day when two tremendous toys fell
into the ocean. Without the element of tragedy
which, unfortunately, so inevitably accompanies
such catastrophes, this situation would be highly
ludicrous.
A huge "Silver Cigar" falls into the sea in the
middle of a thunderstorm and another ship sent
out to rescue the survivors of the first craft falls
in also. It has all the elements of the old joke
about "Oops, py golly, dere goes anudder vun."
But the situation is no joke to the Navy De-
partment.
Dirigibles constructed in the past have had a
singularly grim history. Beginning with the Dix-
mude tragedy, which shocked the whole world,
the ghastly trail has led to Ohio, where the Shen-
andoah came down in a thunderstorm, and to
France in 1930 where the R-101 came down in
flames, and now the Akron, the largest, newest
dirigible in the Navy has added another chapter
to the story.
So far the United States has bought two large
dirigibles, built one, and has another one-the
Macon, sister ship of the Akron-under construc-
tion. Two of these ships have crashed carrying
most of their large crews to death.
The moral seems fairly obvious: the large light-
er-than-air ship cannot be depended upon.
I have been reading Mr. Gropper S wtter co the
Daily in which he laments the unfaincr of ex-
pecting working students to compete on equal
terms in the classroom with the off-c pring of the
rich, and demands that "every instructor asce'-
ain for himself the economic status of each Ce
of his students and make it be a strong factor in
his grading." Excellent! But why does Mr. Grop-
per stop at this? Are there not other elements of
unfairness in the system of grades? Should e
expect the poor athletes, who spend two or tji-ee
hours on Ferry Field every afternoon, to comnpete
on equal terms with the student who has spent
his time studying his history lesson? And should
the slow, plodding student be expected to answer
the same questions as the bright, alert boy? Must
the young student 17 or 18 years old compete
against the mature student 21 or 22 years old?
And must the student of frail health take the
same chemistry examination as the robust stu-
dent?
All these' and perhaps other factors must be
considered by every instructor in order to produce
a fair grading. Why not give every instructor a
complete case history of every one of his students
along with the enrollment card? Then if John
Smith makes 50 on his physics final the instructor
can look up his case and find, perhaps, that John
Smith was. working for his board and didn't have
time to study, or he comes from a poor high
school and didn't have proper training. Then the
instructor can give John Smith an A in the course
because of these factors. But why not have ever
instructor give every student an A anyway ari
not bother with all these complications?

UNIVERSITY BAND
PRESENTS CONCERT TONIGHT
The University of Michigan band under the
direction of Nicholas Falcone will present the fol-t
lowing program tonight at Hill Auditorium at
eight fifteen. The band, which is becoming as fa-
mous in the concert hall as it has been upon the
football field, has undertaken a program of truly
symphonic proportions, including as it has such a
typically classical overture as the Mozart "Fi-
garo," the first movement of the well known and
highly romantic Schubert "Unfinished" Sym-
phony, and the more modern Debussy and
"Bolero. The piece de resistance of the evening
will be the Borghi piano concerto, which will be
given its first performance in Ann Arbor with
Joseph Brinkman of the faculty of the School of
Music playing the solo instrument. This work,
which is so characteristic of eighteenth century
chamber music, has been transcribed for military
band by Leonard Falcone, bandmaster at Michi-
gan State College and brother of the conductor,
and it will be interesting to note the changes
of instrumentation that are involved in such an
arrangement, which was scored originally for
strings and clavecin. The rest of the program
consists of numbers that are as well liked as they
are famitiar and, climaxing as it does in the ever
popular "Bolero," should make up a concert that
will be as outstanding as the previous appearances
of this excellent organization have been.

"KAMERADSCHAFT"
Voicing a strong plea for the common brother-
hood of man regardless of political boundaries,
"Kameradschaft" (Comradeship), being presented
by the Art Cinema League tonight and tomorrow
night at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, makes
out a powerful case for international friendship.
With mine timbers falling on all sides in the
French mine and fire and poisonous fumes pour-
ing down the mine shafts, the German miners
just across the border, realizing that the French
have wives and children also, come voluntarily to
their aid. No more convincing argument for good-
will between nations could be imagined than theI
change in the attitude of the French toward their
former enemies as the rescue party arrives from
across the Franco-German boundary.
While the dialogue for the picture is all in
either French or German, it is made understand-
able to an American audience through the super-
imposing of written lines on the screen as they
are spoken.

D OROTHY THOMPSON, a s t u t e
journalistic student of human na-
ture, prophesied a year ago after an interview
with Adolph Hitler, that the little man with the
toothbrush moustache would never become a dic-
tator. On the surface, her prophecy appears to
have been blasted; but Miss Thompson has every
reason to argue in her own defense that her state-
ment implied that Hitler, if he did become the
boss of Germany, would never be successful.
