In an attempt to point out certain
neral conceptions of the life of the
ichigan Indians, Prof. Carl E.

ithropology, opened the series of
Iks on the colonization of Michigan
sterday. The series is to be broad-
st over the school program through
e campus studios of WJR on Wed-
sday of each week at 2 p. m. Prof.
B. Hinsdale was originally sched-
ed to give the talk, but in his ab-
ice Professor Guthe delivered the
:ture.

The Michigan League against War
id Militarism, campus organization
posed to the R.O.T.C., has com-
eted arrangements for working in
ison with a similar group at Mich-
an State. The league plans corre-
ondence between the two grous
th a view to aligning other organ-
,tions into a state movement for
e abolition of militarism.
Leaders of Stalker Hall, Lane Hall,
e National Student League and the
nguard Club, along with other in-
ested students, are included in the
rnpus groups.
Their five-point statement of pur-
se embraces these proposals:
1. To work for the abolition of the
O.T.C.
2. To combat dissem:naion of mil-
ristic propaganda through univer-
y channels.
3. To carry on education as to the
Le causes of war.
L. To co-operate with other organ-
Lions in anti-war activity.
5. To impress upon the student
dly that if their fight against war
to be effective they must recognize
e identity of their interests with

works; they are socialistic in the
sense that they believe in government
control of private business but they
permit a wide range of private owner-
ship and they appeal to national or
patriotic sentiment rather than to
"class consciousness." Like the Com-
munists, but unlike most Socialists,
the Nazis appeal to dictatorship, that
is, absolute power vested in the hands
of one man or one party, as opposed
to democracy.
Bolshevism. Russia has contributed
many terms to politics. The Bolshe-
viki (the word means "majority" and
refers to an old party split among
the Russian Socialists) are the Rus-
sian Communists. Soviet (originally
meaning simply "council") refers to a
type of government by a hierarchy
of elected councils chosen by work-
ingmen and peasants. The U.S.S.R. or
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics is
the present official name of Russia
and is a federal government made up
of several national states within the
boundaries of the old Russian Em-
pire. Each branch of government has
its technical name; thus the commis-
sars are a sort of executive board or
cabinet, the Cheka was a secret police
organization for repressing opposition
to the government, and its functions
have been assumed by the OGPU, and
so on. The first Five Year Plan, just
completed, was a plan for introducing
modern machinery and industrial
methods into Russia by definitej
stages. The Kulaks ("fists") are the
wealthy peasants who have been per-
secuted for opposing socialism in ag-
riculture. The Mensheviki were the
moderate Socialists wio opposed Bol-
shevism.,
Fascism. In Italy under Mussolini's
leadership a political party called the
Fascisti (the word was derived from
the "fasces," or rods borne before Ro-
man officials in ancient times as em-
blems of authority, and might there-
fore be translated as "authorita-
rians") seized absolute power and
established a dictatorship. The chief
principles of the party, similar in
many ways to the later Nazi move-
ment in Germany, were militarism,
national patriotism, absolute govern-
ment control of all priyate activities
and enterprises, the placing of polit-
ical authority in the hands of one
political party and the prohibition of
political activity by other parties. The
Fascist uniform was the black shirt;
the Nazi the brown shirt; various
small groups in many other countries
call themselves Fascist and wear sim-
ilar uniforms.
International diplomacy makes use
of many terms which are taken for
granted without explanation. Th.-
the Anschluss means the proposed
union of Austria with Germany; the
Polish Corridor, the frontage of Po-

land on the Baltic; the Vatican, the
Papacy; Manchukuo, the new "inde-
pendent" monarchy of Manchuria
which is occupied by Japanese troops.
The location of a foreign office is
often a shortened term for the policy
of a foreign country. Thus "The Sub-
lime Porte paid little heed to the
representations of Downing Street
until the Quai D'Orsay signified its
agreement" means that Turkey would
not do what England said until
France joined in. An entente is an
unwritten agreement for joint inter-
national action; an alliance a formal
and written one. A colony is the pos-
session of a country with full title;
a protectorate may have its own ruler
but its foreign affairs are directed
by the protecting power; a sphere of
influence or sphere of interest is a
region where one country has domi-
nant privileges, especially in trade
and investments; a mandate is a col-
ony held in trusteeship for which re-
port must be made to the League of
Nations.
The League of Nations consists of a
Council and an Assembly, the former
consisting of representatives of the
Great Powers and of a few smaller
states (chosen by election from them
all), the latter consisting of represen-
tatives of all member states of the
League. The Court of International
Justice or World Court is a perma-
nent judicial body for passing on in-
ternational questions, unlike the old
Hague Court which was merely i
panel of judges from which an arbi-
tral board could be selected. The
Paris Peace Pa (also called "Kel-
logg Peace Pact" is a simple agree-
ment to renounce war as a means of
diplomatic policy; it is to be di-
tinguished from the Lo -ar:o l'e':
Pact, which was a regional agre-
ment for the peaceful settlement c
problems arising in western Europ(
Many terms such as resa ations (wa
debts payable by German or her allie,
to the victor Powers), plebiscite (pop
ular referendum) and the like have
been popularized by the Treaty of
Versailles, which closed the war with
Germany. Thus you may read in any
paper of "the plebiscite soon to be
held in the Saar Valley" (a coalfield

formerly in western Germany, now

Religion and race in politics. Cler-
ical means upholding church inter-
ests in politics; it is most used in
Roman Catholic countries, the oppo-
site is anti-clerical. "In Latin Europe
the Freemasons are counted anti-
clerical," "The old Center Party in
Germany was clerical," etc. A con-
cordat is an agreement with the Pap-
acy. Anti-Semitism means in actual
practice merely anti-Jew sentiment;
an old-fashioned ethnology divided
the "white race" into Aryans, Semites
and Hamites. These phrases are still
used in Germany, though they are
strictly rather linguistic than racial
terms. Most Europeans are "Aryans,"
but the Aryans are .subdivided into
Slavs, Teutons, etc. Hence Panslav-
ism, a movement to unite all the
Slavs, etc. Nordic is a more accurate
racial term; it means the tall, long-
headed, blond type of man, and is
contrasted with the Alpine or round-
headed type and the Mediterranean
or brunet longheads. These terms
have become political in consequence
of the German attempt to base na-
tionality on race.
I must apologize doubly; firstly, for
explaining the obvious in so many
cases, as many of these terms are
widely familiar already; secondly, for
leaving out so much. My excuse on
the first head is that terms familiar
to most may still be unfamiliar to
some; on the second that, as Ein-
stein has pointed out, "space is
limited."

here, said, "It is a very opportune
action on the part of the government
in connection with the needs of stu-
dents. I hope that they will not delay
in taking advantage of it."
Dean Joseph A. Bursley, who will
have charge of that part of the pro-
gram dealing with determining which
students are to receive help, said that
it will be "A tremendous help for a
number of needy students. We have
already received a number of applica-
tions from men and women not in
college at present who would like to
come if financially possible." Dean
Bursley explained that, as soon as
plans are completed, announcement
will be made giving the time applica-
tions will be received. It is expected
that this will be within the next day
o" two.
- Prof. Lewis M. Gram, head of the
civil engineering department and di-
rector of plant extension for the Uni-
versity, will handle the clearing of
r projects on which the students will
work. He stated that the University
will now be able to help more fully
needy students whose applications for
such work have been so numerous.

ulty will co-operate in listing work
that can be done by these students,"

Three other papers were delivered.
The first by E. R. Liteheiser, Chief'
Engineer, Bureau of Tests, in the
Ohio State Highway department on,
"Slag as an Aggregate for Concrete."
The second paper on "Vibrated Con-
crete" was given by V. L. Glover of
the Illinois State Division of - High-
ways. "Tests of Highway Guard
Rails" was the last paper of the
afternoon session and was read by
P. J. Freeman, consulting engineer
of the Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory.
Clarence E. Weiss, State director of
the National Re-employment Service,
declared at the morning meeting yes-
terday that any program of work re-
lief is preferable to dole, but that a
program taking into consideration
the skills and proven capacities of the
worker is even more to be desired.
Fred R. Johnson, director of the
State Emergency Welfare Commis-
sion, explained provisions of the
CWA, in a talk following that of Mr.
Weiss.

Student health for the month of
January was unusual only because of
an increased number of pneumonia
cases, recovery in all of which has
been good so far, according to the
monthly report of the University
Health Service released yesterday.
A few cases of "contagious" disease
appeared shortly after the Christmas,
vacation, but their number, five, was
less than the 10 cases of a year ago-.
Pneumonia cases were eight as com-
pared with one a year ago. Acute
respiratory cases ("colds") decreased
from 1,308 in January, 1933, to 1,140
in January of this year. Acute appen-
dicitis cases also showed a decline
from 12 to nine for the month.
The services of the dietician, now
at the Health Service for part time
work, were used by 43 students, and
treatments by the dispensary nurse
increased from 609 to 625. Physiothe-
rapy treatments increased from 816
to 862, and the number of prescrip-
tions filled increased from 1,304 to
1,410.
A decline from 10,076 to 9,851 was
recorded in dispensary calls, and den-
tist consultations fell off from 91 to
57. Consultations with the otologist
dropped from 367 to 264. The num-
ber of infirmary patients remained
nearly the same, 174 being taken care
of in January of a year ago and 172
this year.
One of the finest morgues operated
by a college newspaper is maintained
by the Temple University News which
began keeping clippings of all its
material in 1926.
