war. One may add, that such duty devolves
equally upon every citizen, male and female. In
the course of his well thought out argument Lt.
- McDonald makes some minor points which per-
haps would better have been omitted-such as
the possibility of an officer's increasing his
chances of coming back alive, that an officer
learns how to handle men, that an officer earns
$200 (a month) and that, in case of war, he will
be an officer and will have some idea of what'it
is all about (comment: but will he?k. These
points are quite extraneous to the real question,
which is: "Are there valid reasons for the ex-
istence of the R.O.T.C.? The present writer is of
the opinion that there are valid reasons. Such
being the case, the organization can stand on its
own feet and does not need any artificial props
such as the points made by Lt. McDonald.
There is one thing I should urge in this con-
. nection, viz., That joining the R.O.T.C be not
made compulsory in schools and colleges.

Farewell To
Huey Long..9
T HE HUEY LONG dynasty in Louis-
iana is at an end. Tuesday's pri-
mary for mayor of New Orleans, in which the
anti-Long c a n d i d a t e, incumbent T. Hemmes
Walmsley, defeated John Klorer, Long candidate,
by nearly two-to-one, completes the disintergra-
tQIOn of the Kingfish machine. The Long future is
definitely downward.
Long was another of those phenomoma that
the American democracy sometimes spews out of
the ballot box. He came from the back woods via
the barn and the alley pool room. He was a big
boy; loud, pugnacious, coarse, conceited, a bad
man to meet when he had five drinks under his
belt on a Saturday night. This type of man al-
ways make an appeal to his kind. They like his
rawness. They like to see him standing on the
soap box, crying to high heaven against the rich
and the mighty. He is their man, all theirs, and
they go to the polls in moronic droves to put their
X's next to his name, for he is their idol and their
hope. He is "one of our kind of folks."
This type of man always disappoints his fol-
lowers. There is nothing he can do but talk. He
has no intelligence, no background, no responsi-
bility. He makes a noise and calls it action. The
office is for him a splendid opportunity to swash-.
buckle his way through the front pages, the ro-
togravure sections, and the news reels -always
bawling his own name, eternally patting his own
back. And underneath this effontery there is the
loot of office which neither he nor his satellites
ignore.
The pubic gets on to him after a while. The
decent citizenry is at first shocked, then mad. It
goes after him. He bellows his defiance, but the
steady disapproval of public opinion wears him
down. His followers, disillusioned, desert him.
He is left alone with his vapid folly: "Long is se-
questered in his hotel room as numerous lesser
leaders are deserting him. The senator is re-
ported to be in a surly mood."
Huey Long is on the way back to the grass roots;
where he came from and where he belongs.
To the Editor: -
The observation of "A Good American" in
Campus Opinion recently, while terribly written
and in parts utterly senseless, shows nevertheless
that our controversy over R.O.T.C. or campus
military training is at least opinionated on both
sides. Yet neither group has presented a com-
pletely sound stand for or against the aboli-
tion of RO.T.C units. As Prof. Slosson suggests,
it is to be hoped that students will come to formu-
late opinions, if they do not now, and to expressly
maintain them until they are proven erroneous
Yet it must be said that there are some of us
who would like to see these opinions based on
sound reasoning, and observed facts.
For the great majority of students the whole
matter probably has become a bore, for most stu-
dents are indifferent to the question. There are
two other groups of students: the men in the
R.O.T.C. or those for its maintenance, and those
against it. The group which now so loudly at-
tacks R.O.TC. consists undoubtedly of the small-
est number. Nevertheless, if either side of our
controversy has anything sensible to say it would
be of interest, for a change, to many of the stu-
dent body.

MAX REINHARDT
TO BE AT ORCHESTRA HALL JAN. 21
PREDICTED by Pavlowa to become the great
dance star of the world, Nini Theilade, Max
Reinhardt's premiere danseuse, is to dance at
Orchestra Hall in Detroit Wednesday evening Jan-
uary 21, under the auspicious of the Detroit Town
Hall Series
Mlle. Theilade is only 18. At 14, when she was
studying under Madame Ergerowa, at one time
prima ballerina of the St. Petersburg ballet, Pav-
lowa saw her dance. Greatly moved by her per-
formance she turned to her companions and said.
"I am the present. This child is the future.
People talk of me now. In the future they will
talk of her."
It was Pavlowa who arranged for Nini's Euro-
pean debut at the Hague - an appearance which
was followed by a tour of Germany, Switzerland,
Holland, and Scandinavia.
When Max Reinhardt saw her dance in Stock-
holm, he immediately invited her to join his com-
pany. She has been his premiere danseuse in his
last four big European productions.
Emile Vuillermoz, writing of her first Paris per-
formance, said in "Excelsior", "It is evident that
in her we have found one destined to become a
great luminous star of the dance. Undoubtedly
we shall regard her tomorrow as one of our most
cherished and precious artists." The Paris Soir re-
ported. "The whole press salutes this great new
discovery. Her art is amazing."
In her recitals, Ni*$ Theilade mixes classic
with the modern school. She dances to the music
of Grieg, Chopin, Mozart, Debussy, Albeniz,
Brahms, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Delibes. She has
created almost all of her own dances.
Rare racial strains mingle in Theilade's blood.
She was born in Java and lived there until she
was nine, when her family moved to Denmark.
Her mother is a Hindu from the ruling caste of
Java and the granddaughter of an ex-Sultan of
Java. Her father is a Danish journalist, who
through two generations of Danish clergymen
was descended from the French Admiral H.
Thaylade.
Nini Theilade's performances, originally sched-
uled for the morning of Jan. 31 at the Wilson
Theatre, was changed to Wednesday evening at
Orchestra Hall, because of the unusual interest. ir
her Detroit debut.
should be dedicated to the legion of his ruined
victims.

THE SKIES HAVE CLEARED
FOR MR. BRISBANE
Long years ago William Randolph Hearst fell
luckily upon the endless lode of newspaper-buyng
pennies waiting for the man who would publish
"a paper, for people who" can , conceivably
"think," but who hate to be forced to when they're
reading a paper. Following that rich vein further,
he discovered that a pied piper who would lead
the largest percentage of infant minds to the news
stands must play only the simplest native air, to
wit: America is the biggest, strongest, purest, all
around dandiest place on earth.
To him and to his Mr. Brisbane, then, the spec-
tacular features of international news provide
continual opportunities for wild bell ringing.
Every evidence of superiority, every threat of
strength by a foreign power is the occasion for
deploring the puny ineffectiveness of an American
army and navy which should be the strongest in
the world. Vast was Mr. Brisbane's horror at the
fact that Balbo and his fleet, however magnificent
their feat of last summer, had proved that a for-
eign squadron of bombers could swoop across the
ocean and destroy New YFork in an hour. For
Mr. Brisbane's respect for bombs and poison gas
is far greater than his respect for his readers'
minds.
Now, at last, with the publication of his column-
of yesterday throughout the country, America's
fears for the comfort of its syndicated best friend
may be laid at rest. With the arrival of the Amer-
ican Naval Air squadron at Pearl Harbor Mr.
Brisbane has at last cast off his possessing aero-
phobia, he is able to announce that there is some
hope. The flight, he says, is at least "a warning
to any nation harboring foolish plans for attack-
ing the United States now or later." And he wants
it understood that we must have on hand, in case
any foreign diplomat should grow ferociously in
the belief that America's leading mode of trans-
port is still the pony express, "five thousand planes
that would visit every one of your cities quickly
with explosive bombs and poison gas, if you were
ever foolish enough to interfere with this peaceful
country."
This little matter attended to, Mr. Brisbane's
timorous heart will cease its wild flutterings; and
he can turn his "Today" column for "people who
think" in words of one syllable over to nature
but who hate to be forced to when they're
study and kindred topics. The wild clattering of
his tin sword will cease, his hectic cries of "gas,
run for your lives" will fade into the distance, and
there will be at last, in every sense of the word,
a reasonable chance for peace. It seems almost
worthwhile.

As Others See It
THE REFUGE THAT WAS GREECE
With Edgar Allan Poe, it was "the glory that
was Greece."
With Samuel Insull, it is "the refuge that was
Grreece."
In Poe's case, it was a poet's impersonal regret
for a golden wonder that had gone. In the case
of Insull, it is the poignant despair of the dis-
enchanted wanderer, against whom all the doors
are closed, save the breeze-swept gates of Chi-
cago. That statement may not be the precise
fact, but it carries the impress of truth. For the
highest court of Greece has declared Insull must
go, and there is, practically speaking, no place
to which he can turn but the country from which
he is a fugitive
The verdict was a foregone conclusion, after
the similar ruling of the Minister of the Interior.

A Haverford University professor said that stu-
lents striving for A, are barren of personality L
while the C students are the salt of the earth.
These are some of the things that the
editor of the daily of the University of Kansas
would like to hear:
Our prof in a shay course saying: "Don't
even bother taking the exam - you've got a
cinched" . . . Galli Curci singing St. Louis
Blues" . . . Joe E. Brown and Joe Penner
shaking hands with each other and saying
"You're good Joe," each in his own inimitable
way . . . someone griping because semester
exams don't come four times a year.
The University of California will start a class
in ballroom dancing for the masculine population
of the school if enough of them make known their
desire.
We nominate this crack coming from The
Daily Illini for the worst of the month --
The Italian gals fear Mussolini 'cause he's
the Fascist man in Italy.
A professor of Botany at Butler University has
had his name included in the volumes of "Who's
Who" since it has been published, yet he holds no
college degree.
Many a student who succeeds in the ap-
proaching final exams will be the one who
knows how to use both grammar and "cram-
mer."
At Northwestern University the secret is out.
It has been discovered what the co-eds have been
doing with their spare time: Due to the depres-
sion and the lack of pin money they have been
playing ping-pong. Tournaments are held monthly
at the dormitories.
