FOf THE MICHIGAN DAILY THUR SDAY, OCT. 5, 1933 'HE MICHIGAN DAILY Established 1890 get down to business say authorities "on the hill." Taxes and big banker ways of escaping them are not the business of the banking committee. That field is pre-empted by Senator Pat Harrison's finance committee under senate rules. ' K . ' sir TI THAT PROJECTED MOVE HOUSE-HUNTING activities of the New York stock exchange in New Jersey were of part- icular interest in Washington for this reason. The banking committee is bound to investigate that effort to escape impending new municipal taxes. It has implications in connections with any plan for direct Federal regulation of the ex- change to prevent speculative orgies. If the exchange could escape New York City taxation emergencies by moving to New Jersey, could it get from under heavy-handed Federal regulation by moving to Canada? Fletcher's com- mittee will want to explore that point. - Y- -- Published every morning except Monday during the niversity year and Summer Session by the Board in :ntrol of Student Publications.

THURSDAY, OCT. 5, 1933 Reporting Infraetions Of Rushing Rules... URING the past few days it has been made clear that rushing rules cannot be enforced if violations are not reported. ", ince non-enforcement would work untold had- ship on the fraternities who comply, it is obvious that the general interest of all fraternities will be best served through prompt disclosure of all infractions. To report a violation is unpleasant. No house relishes the thought of turning in the name of a competing house which it feels has broken the rules. No rushee desires to report a guilty group. Yet it is only through such information that un- fair competition can be stamped out. This being the case, it is highly reassuring to discover that accounts of transgressions are being laid before the proper authorities, Guilt has been proved in one case, and a penalty pronounced. The ice has been broken. Every house on campus is now aware that it will be dangerous not to act according to Hoyle. The most immediate result of what has been done is the virtual guarantee that the most important rule of rushing -no contact between freshmen and fraternities during the silence period - will not be broken. There are many who believe the penalty meted Monday night by the judiciary committee was not nearly as severe as it should have been. To give a rushee av pledge pin is a plain infringement of the central rule of the present system. Whether or not a stronger punishment should have been decided upon, it is safe to assume that the com- mittee viewed the matter as an initial offense, and is prepared to act more harshly with future cases. When the present rules were adopted, campus honor societies were unanimous in agreeing to support them in every way, including the encour- agement of reports of violations. It is to be ex- pected that these groups will come to the fore in the attempt to insure compliance. One does not have to believe that the present rules are the best ones possible in order to agree that they must be enforced. The point is that the fraternities themselves adopted them, and promised to abide by them. A house that refuses to live up to its promise is given a decided ad- vantage in lining up a good freshman class- would be given an advantage, that is, if the rules were not enforced. After the rushing period is over, the fraternities may amend the regulations. The time to change the rules is not in the middle of the time to which they apply. ANOTHER TEXAS LEADER? THERE are suggestions already that Texas will reach out to regain its dominant position in house leadership enjoyed before Jack Garner regretfully bade the house goodbye and became vice president. The state has a veteran to offer for high house honors in the person of Sam Rayburn with 11 consecutive terms to his credit. And Sam is des- cribed as looking longingly toward a speakership of his own at no distant date. IT IS intimated that the so-called Democratic-in surgent coalition in the house which put Speak- er Rainey and Majority Leader Joe Byrns of Ten- nessee into power is in process of disintegration. There is also the question of whom the White House will turn to as chief house lieutenant in the next session, certain to be less of a Roosevelt love feast than was the special session. Rayburn has attracted the attention of a number of influ- ential House advisers. Assuming that Garner Intends to retire perma- nently to the private joys of Uvalde, Texas, at the end of his present presidential term-and that looms not as an assumption, but a fact - Rayburn could seek the speakership without any very serious reaction against too-much-Texas among his house colleagues.

AT THE MAJESTIC A DOUBLE FEATURE ***"THE MAYOR OF HELL" Patsy. . . . . .................. James Cagney Dorothy ....................Madge Evans Jim............. ...........Frankie Darro Thompson ....................Dudley Digges You will find "The Mayor of Hell" to your liking. Cagney as a tough ward-heeler and Frankie Darro as a juvenile incorrigible are the nucleus of a cast well chosen to present this first of what will probably prove to be another Hollywood cycle with the delinquency of adolescents as the theme. In "The Mayor of Hell" the evidence gainst the old style penal institution for youths o Jim's type is presented in a forceful manner, with emphasis on the contrast which is possible when humane methods are introduced. Before a political boss gives Cagney his job as deputyrcommissioner of a certain reform school, the school is in the corrupt and tyrannical hands of a bloated overseer (Dudley Digges) who fol- lows the old adage of "spare the rod and spoil the (delinquent) child" to a T. It is a role made to order for the fine abilities of Mr. Digges, who adds his success in the role of Thompson to scores of others gained in movies that sometimes could boast of no other redeeming feature than his presence. The downfall of Thompson after he causes the death of a consumptive inmate of the school is accomplished under kerosene-soaked torches carried by the boys he has beaten down - the boys this time sitting as a "supreme court" trying the case of "The People vs. Thompson." Cagney and Madge Evans are almost totally submerged in the wake of the fine portrayals of the reform schoolers by Frankie Darro, the boy who is "Butch," Farina, and many others. Best scenes: Digges registering outraged in- nocence, wrath, suspicion, or slyness.

One Mr. Kreig, lately of New York City and Wall Street, finds it expedient to board his yacht with sundry guests when he learns that the police, via the grand jury route, are hot on his trail. With Kreig are a very beautiful blonde (Shirley Grey), her lover, a financier and his un- faithful wife, a dark-haired piano-player, and a steward (Charlie Ruggles) who finds everything to his liking except the cross-eyed sailor, a black cat, a Friday the 13th embarking, broken mir- rors, 26 murders, and a suicide. It's slow at times, but scary. G. M. W. Jr. AT THE WHITNEY-.- DOUBLE FEATURE "I Have Lived" and "Strange People" form a double-featured bill appearing currently at the Whitney.

Collegiate Observer We often hear of things going from the sub- lime to the ridiculous and vice versa, but we find a new standard in the report from the University of Southern Californib that a church now occu- pies the building a well known fraternity was in a year ago. * * * One freshman at the UTrversity of North Car- olina entered a fraternity house last week and an- nounced that he had chosen it for his permanent residence. On being told Goat he had to have a bid, he answered, "O.K. I can bid as liigh as the next man. . * 4, : e We don't hear so much about sleeping sickness now that colleges have opened and students have returned to the campuses. * *, SO THEY SAY "No amount of college education can make a poet." -John Masefield * * * Students of Marshall College patriotic to the N.R.A. have pledged not to engage in any school work, social, athletic, or scholastic - emphasizing the latter -for more than the blue eagle's lawful forty hours. * * * Aside to B. S. D. Church St. No, the word "physician" does not come from the Greek Fee- Seek. * * * Hard times, or should we say economic condi- tions, have caused a slump in college enrollments in the United States during the last year. Teach- ing staffs too were cut down 3.2 percent. What about the percentage of the number o fewer professors? ** * Among the freshman commandments at the University of Utah is: "Thou shalt not keep thy- self in the presence of one woman for it is not good." * * * A freshman at the University of Chicago be- wildered by the questions asked on an examina- tion, searching for an alibi for his inexcusable and complete ignorance wrote on his paper, "Only God knows the answers to those questions." The quizzing instructor wholly in the spirit of fairness returned the paper with the addition of these words : "God gets an A, you get an E." Observings from here and there . . . Students at Segan College, a small eastern school, have or- ganized a nudist camp . . . However, more organ- ized nudists who are college graduates claim Harvard as their Alma' Mater . . . Penn State was originally a farmer's high school . . . Men outnumber the women in the cooking classes at Michigan State College. Editoral Coniment IT DOESN'Ta STOP CRIME' When Adolph Van L4deghem ended a long- standing quarrel by killing his wife with a cleaver, his words and actions indicated he had little dread of the penalty Michigan exacts for first-de- gree murder. If his case follows a normal course, Van Lan- deghem will go to prison for about 15 years. There he will live in security, wifh no domestic or family problems to solve. He will be housed in warm, sanitary quarters, fed in first-rate style, clothed and given medical attention at state expense. He will have light, simple work to do, and his oppor- tunities for recreation will be extensive. There will be books, magazines and newspapers to read, games such as baseball to play if he chooses, and opportunities to engage in choral singing, attend vaudeville and musical performances, motion pic- ture shows and similar entertainments. Van Lan- deghem will lead a healthful, fairly comfortable and a safe existence, with little to worry about unless he succumbs to remorse. The chief thing he will be deprived of will be his liberty, but to some types of men liberty is a burden rather than a blessing. This prospect falls far short of the kind of pun- ishment necessary if a prison term is to be an ef- fective deterrent to crime. To many men there is little that is appalling about such a life. It may even seem preferable, to some, than life outside. Dread of it did not stop Van Landegherm from raising his hand to commit murder. But fear of the law might have done so had Landeghem known he would pay for his crime on the gallows. -The Detroit Free Press coming one of the most prominent men in the country. But, with his new lot comes an assort- ment of trials and tribulation such as he had never dreamed of. And in the end . . . but that would be telling. Mae Clarke, remembered for her fine perform- ance in "Waterloo Bridge," has the role of Mary. Another prominent role is filled by Otto (legiti- mate stage) Kruger, who makes his first screen appearance in this story, after Broadway tri- umphs in "Counsellor-At-Law," "Private Lives," and "The Royal F amily of Broadway." Others in the cast are George Barbier, Peggy Shannon, C. Henry Gordon, and Clara Blandick.
