TrHE MICHIGAN DAILY MICHIGAN DAILY K 11 took the freshmen in last fall with the under- standing that they would stay with them for the entire first year. This is undoubtedly true but it would be folly for the landladies to argue that they would not have taken the first year men in if they had known that they would stay for only one se- mester. With the total enrollment of students, particu- larly the freshman and sophomore classes, down far below that of previous years, there was a large over-supply of rooms this fall. Many room- ing houses were not filled. Landladies welcomed the opportunity to take any students they could get, on almost any conditions that the student wished tq make. The average student does not feel that he owes anything to the Ann Arbor landlady. He feels that he has paid for any service that he has received from her. He feels that, on certain occasions, he has paid for more than he has re- ceived from her. He admits that if the ruling prohibiting first gear men from living in fraternities was lifted, it would cause serious economic trouble to land- ladies. -r . -ne M~fRTf WARD N(Q7HT hp sor V d.4 - V.. ;Jh T ane '110 ~ ..etl.uo. , M,,, Published every morning except Monday during the iversity year and Summer Session by the Board in mtrol of Student Publications.

No matter what the motives of our furling of the flag, (and certainly our flight from the far Pacific will not be purely a matter of principle) no other nation can boast as signal an evidence of sincere intent to avoid the evils of imuerialism. In the past, American rule abroad has proved a patchwork of good and evil, dependent for its results largely upon the abilities and intentions of the individual administrators and governors, who have in many cases been chosen blindly, or for political purposes. It has been subject, therefore, both to the benefits and the dangers of semi- despotic control. Time alone will tell just how successful and how beneficial the various ventures of this coun- try have been. The judgment of history on Nica- ragua, however, can almost be made now. We wvent in for the protection of our importing busi- ness; we were not entirely moderate in' the uses of our power therein; we stayed much longer than real altruistic policy would dictate, but, we left, lock, stock and barrel, with a stable government in power and peace in the land.

SUNDAY, JAN. 8, 1933 Help The Needy? PIm One Of Them. YOU CAN SOMETIMES evade an argument by moving over to the ;other side. And you can evade the Good Will Fund by saying, "Help the needy? Why should I? I'm one of them." It's a good gag, but it's rather trite and doesn't excuse anything. What would you think if your father tried it on you at the beginning of the month? Or if your employer asked "Why should I pay you to do work that I can handle, when I need the money my- self?" Many students will contend that it is not their concern if four or five hundred students are try- ing to get through the Universi~ty without enough money to maintain health and mental security They Will declare facetiously that those who want an education badly enough to suffer for it are getting what's coming to them. Ostensibly, it's a strong argument. But put yourself in the position of the student who need food and clothing; perhaps your views will change. Unfortunately, incomes are made and broken with considerable ease under the present system, you know. Perhaps you really believe that you cannot af ford.to contribute, even if-the fund is worthy. Al right, ask yourself a few questions: Do you go to the cinema often? Do you go to dances often? Do you spend money for soft drinks, confec- tions and other non-essentials? Do you have several extra suits or dresses? Do you buy many accessories in dress that serve only as compliments to your vanity? Now let us ask a auestion: Would it detract very much from your happiness to give up one or two movies, or a dance, or a couple of neckties; 'to omit the daily coca-cola for a week or two? Assuming that you are one of the minority, would it rob you of your popularity, or hurt your posi- tion, to give up one of those extra dresses or suits to someone who has a real need for it? There are nearly eight thousand students on campus who have enough money for all neces- ' sities and some luxuries. There are probably be- tween three hundred and five hundred who - haven't enough even: for necessities. The Good Will Fund committee believes that $10,000 will fill the gap. An average gift of a little more than a dollar from the eight thousand who can afford it will fill the quota. There is no question of the ability of the Mich- igan student body to solve its own problem of want. The question is whether we are too self- centered and careless of the needs of our fellows to solve it. Before the campus di'ive starts this week, think it over, But he sees that if it is not lifted, it will cause serious economic trouble to his fraternity,.which has been faced with this difficulty for the past two years. He feels that his fraternity should be allowed to compete an an even basis with the rooming house, without artificial protection to the latter by a University ruling. He feels that, if his fraternity house is a more desirable place to live than the rooming house, from the point of view of the undergraduate, the undergraduate ought to be allowed to live there. As for the future of the Ann Arbor landlady, he is not concerned, as he realizes that freshman dormitories, which seem inevitable, will mean that a great many of them will be forced to go - out of business. Until the dormitories are built, he believes that landladies, by improving the atmosphere and liv- ing conditions of their houses, can compete on even grounds with fraternities.

ARGUMENTS AGAINST WAR To The Editor: 1. If I were to kill one person some of these days, my reward (?) would probably be 25 years in prison or death by hanging or in the electric chair. 2. If an army sets forth with the purpose of killing thousands, nay millions, of young men- the enemy-then upon the conquerors bonuses, pensions, laurels, etc., are lavished, and they are . . .heroes! Dear reader, weigh and consider! 3. When soldiers set forth to engage in war, that is, in killing their brothers, the holy churches' bless the flags and pray to the Lord for victory. But victory is impossible without the killing or mutilating of the soldiers' brothers, nor without devastation, destruction, and general. misery among the civilian population--one naturally asks just what the mission of the church is. -M.

Fields Hot-Dog Proprietor . .Lucien Littlefield "If I Had A Million" is an enthralling align- ment of Eeven episodes telling what happened to characters chosen at random from a city tele- phone directory, when they were handed $1,000,- 000 each out of a blue sky by multi-millionaire John Glidden. Written by 16 of the best authors Hollywood has to offer, "If I had a Million" will make you groan, laugh, yell with delight and gasp with surprise in successive moments. One recipient of the unbelievable prize rapidly follows-on the other, and each episode, you are forced to admit, is better than the other. George Raft, as Edward Jackson, forger, thief, and scoundrel, gained tremendous appreciation for his role. When given his certified check, Raft goes from bank to bank in a futile attempt to cash it. Newsboys are already hawking extras telling of his latest forgery. With the '1,000,000 still burning his pocket, Raft goes without food from day to day, and is even turned out of a flop-house because hehasn't a dime! Charles Laughton took the biggest single laugh. To tell the circumstances would be to spoil the scene. Others who are given $1,00,000 apiece are an inhabitant of an old ladies' home, a Marine, a shady lady, a china clerk (Charles Ruggles-ex- cellent), an ex-vaudeville trouper, and a convicted murderer. Wonderful material to work with, certainly, and it is amazingly well done. The Majestic played last night to a capacity house, for "If I Ifad a Million" isn't a show you'll keep under your hat long. -G. M. W. Jr. STARSt_4 t ...

LANDLADIES VS. THE UNIVERSITY To The Editor: Reading your editorial in today's paper, I won- Ier if the University realizes its indebtedness to ts students. The fraternities running in Ann Ar- >or help the working students in several ways, by riving them a standard of food suitable for their velfare. Granted, they work for it -but if that vere taken off them how many would have to ive under a very poor system of food and would 3e undernourished? You cannot expect a man to do an efficient amount of work- if his body does not receive the ood Nature meant for him. Taking 48 fra- ernitie, on this campus there are about 300 to X00 students employed. How many are employed y the landladies? They give them a bed for .oking after the furnaces and stop at that. I hope the University will see the need of helping he fraternities to keep up their standards of liv- ng and helping the students that are working for heir board. If the first-year men were allowed to loin their fraternities in the second semester it vould probably employ a few more students that need work. -Mrs. Harry M. Bailey (Employed at a Michigan Fraternity) Editoial Cormment .... & STRIPES - -By Karl Seiffert The stock market, says a dispatch, is still im- proving.

This ac- tion, almost unprecedented in world history, shows that there has been more than mere talk behind the avowedly altruistic tendencies of the imperialistic regime in this country. Perhaps we have here the most striking evidence of all that in this country the powers that control our poli- cies have been sincere in their protestations of benevolence. For long years the United States has been ridi- culed for its seemingly endless and unjustifiable occupation of the little Central American nation. Our interventions in the imperialistic affairs of! other countries have been branded as two-faced, Word comes from European breweries1 operations are "progressing favorably." In days they'll be able to bottle it. * * *~ RIVER FAVORED BY CASWELL TO SOLVE PROBLEM that two i q - q -Headline No, no, donit do that! Hang on awhile. Things are bound to pick up. * * * III
