KLEENE The University-Alumni ,M Relationship urned Aboutj R ELATIONS BETWEEN the Univer- sity and its alumni have always beend of the closest sort. This has been particularly true since the presidency of James B. Angell, who de- clared that "in a very just sense and in a. very large degree the fortunes of the University are com- mitted" to the hands of the alumni. It was under his administration that the Michigan Alumnus was; founded. ' As President Angell evidently foresaw, this recog- nition of the University's interest in its alumni body has resulted in constantly greater benefits to the school. Probably no other state university can claim so loyal a group of graduates nor point to such a generous endowment on the part of that] group.- The benefits accruing to the University throughr this connection have been rather apparent during recent years, both in such gifts as buildings, scho- larships, and endowment funds, and in a steady loyalty that has made Michigan men famous for] their staunchness and has sent many young men and women from all parts of the country to study; here. What the alumni have gaind in return, aside from strong local organizations the country over, and close contact with doings in Ann Arbor, has not been so obvious. In this light, it is interesting to note that a survey is now under way to gain statistical data on present activities of recent grad- uates of the University. Originally projected to include only graduates who had received teachers' certificates in the last five years, the study has been extended to cover all who have received degrees of any kind over a period of two years. While the questionnaire covers a wide range of material, the question of employ- ment, of course, looms largest. Beyond the mere fact. of employment the University is =anxious to determine the type of work, average pay, and how present positions were obtained. Ultimately author- ities hope to gain an idea as to what the University may do to help alumni who are not satisfactorily placed at present and what it may do specifically to improve its curricula and organization in the light of alumni criticism in order to offer a more vP-n~a i m ~ln Letters published in this column should not be con- strued as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily.

MORE ON BEHALF OF WARD To the Editor: I don't consider myself a poor sport in expressing my disappointment over the fact that Willis Ward was not elected captain of Michigan's 1935 track team. It would be supererogatory to state the claims he had to that honor. It is well known that Ward has been Michigan's outstanding track man for the past two years; in fact, he has been the outstanding man in the conference. In addition, he has contributed his bit in football. Nor do I sup- pose there is anything about his academic record which would disqualify him for the position. He, has been a conscientious athlete, a modest, gentle- manly and intelligent student. In the light of these facts, an observer must conclude that Willis Ward lost the captaincy of the track team because he is a Negro. Michigan track-men would not have been violat- ing any precedent had they chosen Ward captain of their team. Ralph Metcalfe has been captain of Marquette's team the past year. At Columbia, Chicago, Illinois, Amherst (and several other schools above the Bible belt) Negroes have been elected captains of various sports. Willis Ward de- served a similar gesture of fair play from his fellow Michiganders. That he wasn't given it can be at- tributed to our narrow, provincial prejudice. Isn't "Murmuring Michigan" yet big enough to elect a man like Ward captain of its track team? Or is the murmur after all nothing but a silly giggle g-eC. A. Blue, Grad. DR. FOSDICK'S INDICTMENT OF WAR To the Editor.: The most prominent clergyman in New York City, Reverend Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, ex- pressed himself recently on the greatest of all crimes: war. This is what he said: "I renounce war because of what it does to our men. I've seen it. I renounce it because of what it forces us to do to the enemy. I renounce and will not sanction it because of its consequences and the undying hatred it nourishes. I renounce it and never again will I be in another war. "I stimulated raiding parties to their murderous tasks. Do you see why I want to make it personal? I lied to the Unknown Soldier about a possible good consequence of the war. There are times I don't want to believe in immortality -the times I want to think that the Unknown Soldier never can r'ealize how fruitless was his effort. The support I gave to war is a deep condemnation upon my soul .. . "The noblest qualities of human life, which could make earth a heaven, make it, in war, a hell. Men cannot have Christ and war at the same time. I renounce war." In this connection it is worth recalling that a large number of articles and books on the subject of armament and munitions manufacture have re- cently been published both in Europe and the United States. These writings contain the same story: Iron, Blood, Profits. Let it be remembered that the manufacture of arms and munitions differs in nowise from busi- ness in general as practiced in the capitalist sys- tem: patriotism plays no part in it. It is purely a matter of profits. What the books and articles men- tioned have accomplished is to call attention to the serious problem threatening civilization. The sug- gestion has been made that the only way to turn men away from war is through teaching by the press and the radio. To which I would add that such teaching should also be done in the schools and universities. Why not give a lecture a week in all schools on the beauty and humanity of peace and the horror and savagery of war? What nobler task could the press, the radio and the schools perform than to help save civilization! -M Levi, Professor-Emeritus. DESIRES INFORMATION ON WILLIAM ELLERY LEONARD To the Editor: I am at work on a biographical and critical study of William Ellery Leonard and his work, and am eager to communicate with anyone who has known or is now in touch with him, whether as friend or enemy, student or colleague, or through any other relationship; 'and with anyone who can tell me of others who may have pertinent informa- tion concerning him. I should be grateful for an opportunity to see letters written by Mr. Leonard; they will be speedily copied and returned. To save Mr. Leonard the trouble of replying to any anxious but unnecessary letters of inquiry re- garding my undertaking, let me add that I am a former student of his and that I proceed with his full permission. -Clara Leiser 7 Park Avenue, New York City The Theatre Maurice Leblanc might well have written "Twin Husbands" as "Further Adventures of Arsene Lu- pin." Though the author was not Leblanc and the gentleman burglar was The Sparrow instead of Arsene Lupin "Twin Husbands" is a suave and clever comedy. John Miljan as The Sparrow turns in an excel- lent performance and the supporting cast does a bit more than stand around with their hands in their respective pockets. The story revolves about a plot involving a gentleman burglar that is kidnapped by a plotting wife and secrtary to impersonate the lady's hus- band. The idea being to obtain some bonds from the trustee of the absent husband. When The Sparrow gets ideas of his own about the bonds and the lady the show becomes smart and amusing. "WHAT'S YOUR RACKET" With Regis Toomey and Noel Francis This is very boring containing all manner of outmoded characters and devices. Bootleggers have looked rather drab on the screen since December of 1933. However, an above average news reel accom- panies the program and it is worth being bored for an hour to watch John Miljan in "Twin Hus- bands." -J.J.F. As Others See It MR. SHOEMAKER AT IT AGAIN The news that Rep. Francis Henry Shoemaker (Farmer-Labor), of Minnesota, is afoul of the law again is received with practically nqsurprise what- ever. It has happened so often in the year and two months of his congressional service that repetition begins to make him slightly monotonous. At the outset of his Washington career he did violence to a hotel room neighbor whose radio dis- turbed his slumbers. Disturbed on another occa- sion by the racket of street car track repairers, he descended to the street in pajamas and hurled red lanterns in token of protest. More recently a taxi driver incurred his displeasure and was ad- monished with a stiff right to the chin. Against such a background his present exploit, which was no more than strolling through a group of Minneapolis teamsters and policemen with a broomstick in his fist, barely merits attention. If Shoemaker's purpose is to achieve a publicity build-up for his coming senatorial race against Senator Henrik Shipstead, our advice is to stay out of police stations until primary day. So long a period of peace in the Shoemaker saga would be page-one news throughout Minnesota. -The Detroit News. Collegiate Observer By BUD BERNARD Here's a poem coming from a contributor: If gents could read What co-eds thought There'd be more dating Than there ought! Laboratory instructors at Texas Christian Col- lege have preserved their alcohol supply from school pilfering for the last 20 years by placing snakes in the containers. The reptiles have been christened "Bishop Cannon" and "Bishop Wilson." We offer a hero medal to a student at the University of Illinois who looked beyond the Kappa prospects and used their own phone to get himself a date at the Alpha Phi house. A fellow at Northwestern University is call- ing his co-ed friend "Pilgrim" because every time he calls he makes a little progress. According to a survey conducted at Lehigh Uni- versity, it was disclosed that 25 years after gradua- tion Phi Beta Kappa men still lead other members of their class. The best record has been made by those men who were called "dreamers," and the "freaks" ran a close second.
