THE MICHIGAN DAILY JL.FZXKJU. _ C The Daily is prepared to put the full force of its editorial power behind the drive. The student body voted overwhelmingly for East Side beer in the Undergraduate Council poll so The Daily ca.n- not choose to do otherwise. We are in the fight to the finish. If you are interested in seeing this issue settled once for all, sign the petitions. The time is short, so don't wait for the committee to come to you. The petitions will be ready for your signature at the Tavern, the College Inn, the Parrot, the New Granada Cafe, and The Daily. If you are a duly qualified voter of the city of Ann Arbor, sign the petition. WADP NT[ or$TV #rT I.

THE fresh oyster industry had a unique com- plaint to make at the hearings on its NRA code. Some of the-companies, workmen from Louisi- ana testified, have been paying in metal checks good at the company store. The men became so incensed at the checks one pay day that they dumped their pay into the Gulf of Mexico. "And the next pay day," said the witness, "we still got checks, but they were wooden so they'd float."

In con- nection with this matter, it is a growing cer- tainty that if the general public can read Ger- trude Stein and get a feeling of thrilling, yet hazy awe out of her work, such people as Eugene O'Neill, with his "Days Without End" and "Ah! Wilderness" (Random House), are fairly apt to get a sizeably critical circle of devotees. Miss Stein, in collaboration with Virgil Thomp- son, recently developed an opera as the latest of her excursions into the realm of refined Dadaism. It is called "Four Saints in Three Acts," and the consensus of judgment is that, despite two dis- parities, it is a pretty good opera. Arrangements have been completed by Random House, New York, to publish this opera, which will shortly be available to campus mystics. The two disparities, by the way, are: first, be- tween the number of saints and acts announced and the number which make their appearance; second between the meaning of the opera as Ger- trude Stein sees n ana the meaning as the average reader sees it. The writer should explain that he has not read the opera: he has seen only the press notices. Jr. r k RTS ASSISTANTS.: Charles A. Baird, Arthur W. Car- tens, Sidney F3rankel, IRolaid IL.

NIGHT EDITOR: GEORGE VAN VLECK gn An East de Beer Petition.. Incidentally, E. E. Cummings, who runs neck and neck with Miss Stein in the matter of emo- tionally expressive incoherence, has recently pro- duced another book, whose name I have momen- tarily misplaced. It will be reviewed in this col- umn soon. The Random House proof-readers, say the press- agents, are "fresh from a tussle with the 780 pages of James Joyce's 'Ulysses'." Mr. Joyce won ac- claim some years ago with "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," and in recent years has loomed importantly on the literary horizon as an advocate of a richer language. This opulence of verbiage sometimes makes him difficult, but when the full- ness of his meaning is appreciated, it is quickly seen that his method has much value. "Ulysses" has had troubles vaguely reminiscent of those that "Jurgen" experienced in its infancy, but it has weathered adversity sufficiently to allow a copy to reach us. It will be reviewed by Leo Kirsch- baum of the Engineering English department very shortly. Washington Off The Record By SIGRID ARNE FERDINAND PECORA, the fiery little prosecu- tor of the senate banking investigation, has a new claim to fame. He turned down a date with Peggy Hopkins Joyce, the much-married. She 'phoned his sec- retary to say that she had some financial in- formation she wished to turn in. "Ask her if she will please write me all about it in a letter," instructed Pecora. THE White House staff is accustomed to sur- prises. But it was more than the usual shock when the well-known Washington "grande dame" steamed down the reception line to greet the President, threw wide her arms and exclaimed; "My Hero!" "BOBBIE" REILLY, one of the small capitol pages, was assigned to his desk in the school, room where the boys study between sessions. They sit at desks once used on the floor of the house. Bobbie found on his desk the brass name-plate of the late Thomas L. Reilly, representative from from Connecticut-Bobbie's grandfather. p ETITIONS for an initiative sub- mission of the repeal of the city ter amendment banning the sale of beer and east of Division street are being circulated ae present time by a Citizens' Committee. It le purpose of the Committee to submit the to the voters at the April election and give roters a chance to decide the issue which the mon Council refuses to submit to them. spite the fact that every meeting at which the ect of liquor in the city has been discussed East Side ban has almost monopolized the ission, the dry members of the Council still t that there is no interest in the subject and it is not important enough to be submitted ie election. The Committee could have gone e Council with a petition for the submission he issue but they did not choose to do so ise the matter would, in all probability, have shelved. If you doubt that the Council would such a step, look at the tactics which have practiced during the past year. hen the East Side question first came before ,ouncil, Professor Paton insisted that an elec- would be unnecessary because the charter .sion would not ban the sale of such a weak rage as 3.2 beer.

OBJECT LESSON IN FASCISM HE Hitler regime continues to provide an object lesson in Fascism. Workers and liberals in other countries may study it with profit. Beginning with attacks on Communists, the regime ends by proscribing not only Socialists and liberals but even conservative parties like the Nationalists. Beginning with attacks on the Jews, the regime ends by persecuting the Catholics and attempting to foist pagan and un-Christian doctrines on the Protestants. Beginning with fake attacks on big business and the "moneyed interests," the regiment ends by increasing the power of the great trusts and in- tensifying the plight of the middle classes. Beginning with talk of a new social order, the regime ends by crushing the labor union, con- fiscating their funds, and abolishing the right to strike: thus enslaving labor. Is it any wonder that Lord Rothermere and a certain section of British big business, seeing all criticism suppressed, profits made at expense of workers and middle classes, labor shackled and chained, hail Fascism as the New Utopia? The great interests that financed Hitler rub their hands with glee as wage cuts, war prepara- tion, and higher tariffs swell their profits. And critics go to the concentration camps. -New York Evening Post Student Health AT the Health service, we are interested pri- marily in the prevention of disease processes. We are dealing with a selected group both in in- telligence and in health. About two per cent of our general population has the privilege of higher education. Therefore, it is becoming to emphasize to students the growing importance of degenera- tive disease as the cause of death for adults in society. The mortality statistics show the dis- eases classified as degenerative -heart disease, diseases of the blood vessels, kidneys, cancer, dia- betes, chronic liver and intestinal disease, and mental deterioration -heading the list. Formerly, the greatest problem in medicine was to control the death rate in contagious diseases such as typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc. Heredity affects the susceptibility of the individual to degenerative disease but even with this fact taken into account, susceptible individu- als can enjoy reasonable health if they follow the simple principles of right living. Many people deliberately shorten their lives by habits which might well be avoided. Degenerative disease is the result of frequent insults to the system over a long period of time which cause accumulative damage to the blood vessels, heart, kidneys, liver, etc. Low grade infections, frequent colds, infected teeth, infected tonsils, gastro-intestinal upsets, too much coffee, too much tea, too much alcohol, too much smoking and eating, irregularities of exercise, and insufficient rest violate the laws of nature. It is natural for the bodily tissues to remain well and healthy. These are problems which confront the individual and over which he has a great deal of control. Colegiate Observer Victims of the recent fraternity robberies at Dickinson college met to decide the fate of the culprits should they be caught. Lynching was supported by a few, but the majority suggested the alternative of pledging them. Defying one of Stanford University's sacred customs, a small co-ed sat calmly on the law school steps while half of the law school clapped feverishly and the rest of the audience laughed loudly. No women on the steps of the law school has long been a tradition. Unattached co-eds at Washington University have a special section at football and basketball games -a kind of identification and rating sys- tem. * * * From the Quincy College catalogue of 1900: "Boxes of eatables and candies should not be sent to students. They are fruitful sources of gluttony, sickness, and dissatisfaction." A young man who studied psychology, Had no thought of love or biology.

Even the arrival of the stunning Isabella Green- way, congresswoman from Arizona, draws nothing but cordiality from the other women on capitol hill. When Mrs. Greenway was making her first speech on the floor of the house she stopped mid- way to ask, "Have I time to say anything more?" From the republican side of the house came the cheery voice of Representative Kahn of Cali- fornia: "I will gadly yield you all of my time." The men, laughecd and appauded, and Mrs. Greenway finished her talk. THE minister for Albania is one of the few diplo- mats just now in whose presence a state de- partment official can relax. Albania wants no liquor quota because the Albanians can take care of their own famous mulberry wine without any help from the United States. APPROPRIATELY enough, the most unusual NRA blue eagle in the capital is worn by the dynamic, little Miss Frances (Robbie) Robinson, secretary to Recovery Administrator Johnson.
