T HE Ohio State Lantern, whose edi- torials are hatched to the cluck- clucks of the Department of Journalism, draws a lesson from the recent abortive effort at the University of Michigan to empower Dean Bursley to set up hell week rules. what becomes of a part of the foreign legion when the officer in charge is shot down in the Arabian desert, leaving no written orders for the sergeant to carry out. None of the men knows where they are or what they are supposed to do. After bury- ing their leader, they reach an oasis where they decide to stop before proceeding to their destina- tion, which seems to be nowhere. However, they are relieved of their ignorance concerning their purpose by the Arabs, who steal their horses dur- ing the night, making it necessary for them to remain where they are and wait. While waiting, the Arabs do away with them one by one until only the sergeant is left to be rescued by the customary search party that always gallops up at the last minute in this sort of picture. Victor McLaglen, as the sergeant, is typically Victor McLaglen and no more. Boris Karloff plays the role of a religious fanatic as if he were re-doing Frankenstein or Dracula. Reginald Den- ny begins to tell of his past love affairs, and the audience prepares itself for a lascivious bull-ses- sion, but it is nipped in its bud, and the plot continues in another vein. None of the other characters are distinguished in any other way except for the manner in which each meets his maker. "The Lost Patrol" begins well, but goes steadily downhill, hitting a few bumps on the way which lift it up a bit and then drop it down to a lower level untfi it reaches almost rock- bottom at the end. A Grantland Rice Sportlight about dogs is the best of the added attractions; a Harry Langdon comedy is very bad. The news reel is average. -C. B. C. As ODthers See t;kIt LESS PROFIT, LESS WAR As passed by the Senate, the Vinson-Trammell treaty-strength naval bill, even though it author- izes prospective appropriations of from $470,000,- 000 to $750,000,000, lacks a great deal of being the sort of legislation which the ship builders must have hoped for. Two amendments approved with- out opposition seriously restrict the opportunity for profit-making in connection, with naval ex- pansion. Thanks to the amendment of Senator Trammell of Florida, chairman of the Senate Naval Com- mittee, the bill now limits the profit which private builders may enjoy in constructing warships and naval planes to not in excess of 10 per cent. The amendment of Senator Bone of Washington di- rects the Government to arrange to produce one- fourth of the planes, thus further limiting the range of profit-taking. These restrictions are of the right sort and if they may be criticized, it is because they do not go farther than they do. With the need as well as the wisdom of increasing the size of our navy a debatable question at best, there is patently no reason why an expansion should line the pocket- books of ship and plane makers at the expense of the American taxpayers. An editorial printed on this page recently made clear the fact that greed for profit on the part of armament manufacturers is one of the chief causes for the maintenance of expensive military systems. Even in its amended form, the Vinson-Trammell bill was not without its outspoken opponents. Staunch supporters of the New Deal like Senators Norris, La Follette, Costigan, Nye and Frazier were among those who voted against it. This should be all the proof anyone needs that these progressives vote with the administration only when they agree with it; that they are still the independent legislators they were under another administra- tion. -The St. Louis Post-Dispatch Student Health TAKING ACCOUNT OF THE PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTS By MARGARET BELL EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is a condensation of an article written by Dr. Margaret Bell, director of women's physical education, which appears in the current School of Education Bulletin. THE original acceptance of physical education in our schools and colleges was primarily on the basis of its contribution to the better health of the student. In an effort to establish the posi- tion of physical educaion as a phase of educa- tion, however, there has been a tendency to mini- mize and perhaps to slight this emphasis; al- though the whole superstructure of objectives that deal with integration, personality, character, and good leadership are based on a sound, well-devel- oped physique which adjusts without fatigue and without manifestations of nervous instability, with confidence and optimism to the vicissitudes of life. So much has recently been said about the social- izing qualities of sport and other elements of physical education (big muscle activity) in rela- tion to the recreational use of leisure time, and in connection with the development of personality, character, and leadership, that the time has come again to stress the physiological aspects of phy- sical education. There are economic values in the ability to move with ease and economy of effort. Acci- dents are decreased and safety is increased when an individual can coordinate his movements easily and has a margin of strength. This fact is rec- ognized by accident insurance companies when they charge a much higher rate to insure women against accidents. There are social values which are assured the individual who moves with poise and confidence. There are certain qualities of character and per- sonality which are best developed in the emotion- ally tense situations set up in play and compe- tition. Here a child must be controlled to acquit himself creditably in his own eyes and those of his contemporaries. To achieve the greatest suc- cess, he must not only perform well but also bring out the ability of his team-mates. These are the experiences that develop athletes into practical human psychologists. These are the situations that may encourage the development of con- structive leaders. As leisure time increases the child must be suitably motivated to recreate. Games, play and outdoor life offer not only a wholesome use for lei- sure time but for recreation both to youth and to the adult. Big muscle activity is a fundamen- tal need of the human organism. No other out- let offers the same release from the confusion and nervous strain of our complicated existence. Ex- ercise, including sports of all types, should be used primarily as a preventive and not as a cure. That physical exertion coupled with love of a sport is a stabilizer, is well recognized by the broken-down business man. These observations alone obviously warrant a place in the curriculum for physical education ac- tivities and demand that these activities be di- rected by an educator who has the knowledge and the ability to promote and control the potent emotional situations inherent in the activities, with advantage to each individual child. It is important that the problem child be not sacri- ficed to the group, for he is entitled to special attention. When the individual is physically edu- cated, he has derived those benefits from activity which assure him his best possible growth and de- velopment, adequate neuromuscular control (co- ordination), nervous stability, integration of his powers that assure him poise, energy, and emo- tional control, and a facility for living. He should have enough skill in a minimum of sports to put up a game that is worthy of his temperament, and thus be motivated by a love of sport to participate in activity at frequent regular intervals through- out his life. A well-directed physical education program can promote the development of the most important qualities of character; qualities of character which are gratifying to the individual and essential to the fundamental needs of society. The fulfillment of these objectives must be based on a well under- stood, firm, physiological foundation. I ^:z '' . ,1J ': .

By a curious process of logic (or illogic) the Lantern derives from what happened here the conclusion that administrative control of hell week should be effected. Its editorial ramblingly describes the effort of Michigan fraternity alumni to put control of hell week in the hands of the dean's office, the un- welcome reception the suggestion received, and the subsequent letter sent by Mr. Bursley to the fraternities quelling their resentment with the1 statement that here was nothing obligatory in his hell week remarks. From this resume of the re- cent experience in Ann Arbor the Lantern passes abruptly to an incidental observation that Ohio State fraternities do not obey the territorial limits, that have been imposed on them for their initia- tion period activities. In a final jerk the con- clusion is fetched out that obviously some admin- istrative control, is necessary. Now we believe that the logic of the facts set forth in the Lantern editorial leads inevitably to; the opposite conclusion. In two schools, Michi- gan and Ohio State, administrative regulation hasj been attempted. In both of them it has failed. How, can this mean anything but that adminis- trative control of hell week won't work.- No one can deny that fraternities may easily, go too far in their hell week activities. Freshmen,, we believe, can stand about as much punishment; as their prospective brothers care to mete them; but we readily admit that third parties have rights which should not be infringed. Homeowners whose plumbing fixtures do not include inside bathroms, for instance, should not be called upon for un- willing contributions to the - fun of hell week. Cemeteries should not be desecrated. This is ob- vious. But why should administrative control be con- sidered the only way to enforce sane rules? How can administrative control be sought when even papers so paternalized as the Ohio State Lantern are forced to admit that on two occasions ob- served this year administrative control has failed? The road to freedom is self-government, not ap- peal to outside forces for regulation.

FASCIST TOTALITARIANISM HE fourteenth volume of the new Italian encyclopedia contains an article by Mussolini on the Fascist Doctrine in which occurs this sentence: "A party which gov- erns a nation totalitarianally is a new fact in history." (Un partito che governa totalitaria- mente una nazione e un fatto nudvo nella storia.) -Mr. Ernest Barker, Litt.D., LL.D., professor of political science at Cambridge, comments on the sentence quoted as follows: "It is indeed a new fact; and /it is also a sad fact. It means two new and sad things. It means the government of one party, which has no need to debate with other parties, for the simple rea- son that there are none, or to adjust itself to other organs, because it has already assimilated other organs to itself. It means again that this government, thus immune from the salt of criti- cism, is also exempt from any limits to the area of its operation. Free to play on the minds of all by a monopoly of the means of publicity, it is also free to play on every sphere of life. That is the sense of the word totalitarian. No sphere of voluntary activity, and no voluntary institution- neither economics, nor religion, nor educaion: neither trade union, nor university - can escape the logic of that word. It was the tendency of parties in some European countries, even when parties were multiple, to seek to engulf the lives of their members, and to provide them with party trade unions, party sports clues, party methods of education, and a general party apparatus of life. That tendency attains its apothesis wher a single party swallows the rest, and arms itself with the whole power of the State to provide a total inspirition, which is also a total control, fo every citizen.

Pretty soon higher edu- cation will be as popular as Hollywood.' Many a co-ed is proof enough that a col- lege man can take a joke. * * * Girls, if you want to be happily married, beware. of flat-headed men! This is the advice given by a professor at Oxford University. Flat-headed men are conceited and faithless and are not easily swayed by affections. The reason for this is that they lack the space from the ears backward that houses the part of the brain that concerns itself with love, tender emotions, faithfulness, and all the other allied qualities. Kissing a co-ed because she lets you, ac- cording to the Mississippi College Daily, is like scratching a place that doesn't itch. This year's seniors at the College of the City of New York demand a dowry of $75,000 with their brides - $25,000 more than the men of '33 requested. * *r *x HOW TO BE AN ENGINEER Enter college.
