Governor Charged With
Lack Of Crime Control
In New York State
MADISON, Wis., Nov. 8-(Big Ten)
-Welcomed with a saluate of 21
guns, President Herbert Hoover, in
his eleventh-hour campaign swing,
stopped on the University of Wiscon-
sin campus Saturday, to deliver a
message of praise and blame to some
18,000 persols.
Spirited alumni, here for the an-
nual homecoming celebration, cam-
paign-weary politicians, curious cit-
izens, and gay university youth, jam-
fied the university field house to give
the President a thunderous ovation
and to hear him laud the University
of Wisconsin and criticize his poli-'
tical opponent.
"It is a great pleasure," the Presi-
*ent said, "to come to a city which
bas made itself famous by the con-
tribution of a great university to the
thought and leadership in modern
life."
Has Lived on Campus
"My own home for 30 years has
been on the campus of another great
university, and I have valued to the
highest degree the constant refresh-
iuent that has come to me from the
idealism and dreams of youth who
come to these institutions to fit
themselves for leadership in national1
life," continued the President, before
turning his attention to matters of
miore political concern.
But here, it was not all praise, but,
blame which the chief executive
brought to the campus and to Madi-
son.
Discussing gang life and the over-
weening influence of criminals in
ertain municipalities, President
I oover took occasion to plunge a
barbed dart into the administration
o his presidential adversary when he
Oeclared :
"The responsibility for the control
of crime rests emphatically upon the
states and local municipalities. Thel
angster life which has developed in
some of our cities and states is one
of the most dangerous elements to
the whole of our civilization.
Criticizes Roosevelt
"It would seem that the governor
of New York, who is a candidate fori
the presidency of the United States,
might have made a contribution in;
these last three years to the solution:
of gang life, under the great powerss
conferred and obligations bestowed,
by the constitution and laws of his;
-own state."
It was a tired Hoover that utteredl
both the praise and the blame, a man
slightly stooped, who, accompanied;
by Mrs. Hoover, seemed indifferent
to the cheers of the gathering, and
from whom a "skyrocket," lead by a
university cheerleader just before he{
spoke, elicited but a wan smile.

Socialist Says

No Election Momentous
Until Workers Oppose
Capitalists--Naysmith
"We have created a Frankenstein
in our machines and unless we can
control it it will destroy us," said
Richard Naysmith, president of thq
Michigan Socialist Society, in a talk
sponsored by.the Ann Arbor Trades
Council Monday night at Labor Hall.
"Many have said that this is a
momentous election," declared 'Mr.
Naysmith, "but we are convinced that
such an election will not come until
the workers are in one camp and the
capitalists in another." Mr. Nay-
smith declared that many false im-
pressions have been spread by mem-
bers of both parties about the Social-
ist Party, such as that the socialists
believe in abolishing religion anddo-
ing away with the home. These
charges are utterly false, stated Mr.
Naysmith, and declared that the so-
cialists stand for the ownership and
control by the government of public
utilities and factories, not for greater
division but for more equal division
of wealth.

At Ohio State
Fraternities, Sororities To
Associate To Lower Cost
Of Food Products
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 8.-The pro-
posed Fraternity Managers Associa
tion, providing for co-operative buy-
ing among fraternities, sororities, and
other social organizations on the Ohio
State University campus, was unan-
imously approved by the Fraternity
President's Council and will begin
operation as soon as a sufficient
number of houses have joined. The
plan provides for the purchasing of
all supplies for sororities and fra-
ternities in large quantities and at
wholesale prices.
Nine trustees are to be elected to
manage the association, two of wham
shall be members of the Fraternity
Advisers' Council. The trustees will
then appoint a manager. Each house
when joining will deposit $100 in or-
der that supplies may be bought at
lower cash prices. Retention of a
small percentage of all sales will pro-
vide for the expenses of operation.
Any money left at the end of the
year will be returned proportionately
to the members of the association.
Similar plans have been used suc-
cessfully in smaller colleges. The
University of Oregon has had a co-
operative buying plan for five years.
Under their system the average cost
of board per man was $12.32 a
month, with house expense $18, and
all other expenses including social
$9.60 a month. The average total
cost per man was $40 a month or
$360 a year.
IGII SCHOOL ART EXHBITED

LANSING, Mich., Nov. 8.-A novel
and spectacular means of display,
which is expected to arouse great in-
terest among the millions of visitors
who view the Michigan exhibit and
other attractions at the Century of
Progress Exposition at Chicago next
year, will be what is known as the
"diorama."
This may be defined as a picture
in three dimensions, width, height
and depth-with the foreground
modeled in perspective so that it
blends in unity with a painted back-
ground, thus giving an illusion of
distance. The diorama art is the out-
growth of experimental work done
at the Wembly Exposition in Eng-
land in 1926. It was developed fur-
ther at the Imperial Institute, South
Kensington, London, and the Deut-
ches Museum in Munich, and was
used at the Paris Exposition last.
summer.
Research Is Necessary
In constructing a diorama; careful
study, research and investigation is
first made to gather authentic data
on the subject so as to preserve ab-
solute scientific accuracy in the
smallest detail. Then a flat pencil
drawing or water color printing is'
made and a small study diorama
about 15 inches wide prepared. In
making the small study diorama, the
problems are considered and solved.
Often changes and rearrangements
are made to afford better composi-
tion and accuracy. Colors, figures
and all are painted or modeled in
proper perspective. From this small
diorama a large one is built to scale
--usually about four times the size.
The resultant illusion is usually so
complete that there is great diffi-
culty in finding out where the actual
modeling stops and where the sur-
face which is not modeled but paint-
ed to represent the third dimension
begins. Lighting also plays an im-j
portant part, as the theatre has
proven by completely changing a
scene through a switch of color in
the illumination.
Dioramas will be extensively used
in a number of the Exposition build-
ings. Among those in the Hall of
Science, for example, will be one
showing reptiles of the late Jurassic
period, 125,000,000 years ago; an-

Special Studio Constructed
A special studio where dioramas
are constructed was established on
the Exposition grounds, originally to
supply the needs of, the Exposition
itself. Demand for dioramas from
exhibitors and concessionaires be-
came so strong, however, that its fa-
cilities are now being made available'
to others.
The diorama art is also beginning
to take hold commercially. One of
the independent firms which is build-
ing dioramas for a number of ex-
hibitors at the World's Fair is lo-
cated in Detroit.

Anti-Food Tax Body Lauds
Detroit Recoinmendation
On Oleomargarine Bill
DETROIT, Nov. 8.-The recom-
mendation of the Detroit Citizens
League to vote "NO" on Proposal
Number 8 was hailed today by the
Anti Food-Tax League as a signal
victory in its campaign against theI
measure, the first tax on a food pro-
duct ever passed by the Michigan
Legislature.
"The Detroit Citizens League is
known throughout the State for its
wisdom and its fairness in recom-
mending on political questions, and
the fact that it advocates a vote of
"NO" on Proposal Number 8 is the
final word in branding the measure
as a vicious attack on the purse of
the poor man," said B. Frank Emery,
Secretary of the Anti Food-Tax
League.
"The Citizens League put its finger
right on the nub of the matter when
it said, 'We believe this law is an un-
wise attempt to adjust an economic
situation by arbitrary means. What-
ever increased income, through a li-
cense tax on oleomargarine might be
derived by the State, no doubt would
be paid ultimately by the consumers.
We are opposed to the law because
it arbitrarily increases the cost of an.
article of food, not harmful in itself
and in common use among masses
of the people.'"

Onderdonk To Lecture
On Tolstoy Thursday
An illustrated lecture on "Tolstoy"
will be given by Dr. F. N. Onderdonk
of the architectural school, at 4:15
p. m. Thursday in room 231 Angell
Hall. The lecture is sponsored by the
Tolstoy League to commemorate the
death of the great Russian writer on
Nov. 10, 1910.
The pictures accompanying the lec-
ture will be of an unusual type, it
was stated yesterday, illustrating in
symbolic fashion the life and teach-
ings of Tolstoy. The lecture will be
the last of a series of "The Religion-
Science of the Future" and will show
how Tolstoy, in his emphasis on the
spiritual nature of man, may be con-
sidered as perhaps the first prophet
of religion-science.

address before the Wisconsin Teach-
ers' Association convention in Mil-
waukee last week.
"A sword of imperative retrench-
ment forged in the fires of an irra-
tional depression hangs over educa-
tion and other social enterprises of
the government, in Wisconsin and
throughout the nation," he said.
The blame of the critical situation
that faces us, Pres, Frank maintain-
ed, should not be placed upon the
political, social, and educational lead-
ership of the country, but "squarely
upon the shoulders of the economic
leadership that proved incapable of
steering our economic ship past the
shoals of depression.
"Unless this fact is kept clear," the
president continued, "we shall see
an uninterrupted increase in a type
of propaganda that will brand self-
sacrificing public servants as greedy
and grasping payrollers, a new popu-
lar sort of propaganda, which, if per-
sisted in, will divert men of capacity
and self-respect from public service
for a generation to come.
