MACDONALD Adventure In Education.. . H ISTORY, REALLY an intensely dramatic story, by dint of incessant rote from texts has become for many students a wearisome and remote set of facts apart from our own experience. Realizing that the motion picture is the ideal medium for the presentation of visual illustrative material, the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, the most outstanding archeological foun- dation in the world, produced "The Human Adven- ture," a gigantic film which will be shown here Oct. 18 and 19 in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Over three years were spent by the Institute in filming the 32,000 feet of film. This air cruise into history will bring to Michigan students a vivid picturization of the romance that is attached to man's rise from savagery to his present state of civilization. "Faculty members of the University of Chicago and newspaper men sat pop-eyed last week in the University's Oriental Institute," says the News- week. "Before them the panorama of the human race was unrolled on the screen. It was a private view of 'The Human Adventure,' a film showing how the secrets of dead empires are brought to light by archeologists." "The earth cools from a volcanic, whirling mass into land and water, plains and oceans. Prehis- toric beasts range the new plains; the glaciers creep over them and creep back; man rises and gains mastery over fire, tools of flint and finally metal; tills the land, sails the sea and finally the air," pictures the Cleveland Plain Dealer, in de- scribing the film to its readers. "With the whole story sketched briefly, the film moves into its major portion, an airplane journey to the lands which were the cradle of civilization, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Anatolia, Iraq, and Persia. The story of their rise to power and civilization is then described through the excavations and discoveries of eight of the Institute's expeditions." The fact that students of history will be re- quired to attend this feature may prejudice it in the eyes of students who have suffered through too many compulsory assignments. Probably, in spite of that, "The Human Adventure" will serve to show the value of the movies in education by its challenge to modern student interests. I By BUD BERNARD A professor at the University of Chicago was giving a series of lectures on Gothic. Just beginning to speak one morning at the be- ginning of the semester he was -interrupted by a student raising his hand: "Is this French 2?," the student questioned. "No this is Gothic," said the professor re- turning to his lecture. After a few minutes the student raised his hand. "It says in this booklet that French 2 is given in this room at this hour." "Can't help it," said the professor, "This is Gothic." The student raised his hand again about ten minutes later. "What now?," asked the professor. "Are you Miss Simmons?" The professor then discontinued his lecture and had the student marched out of the room. No one can say that the students at the Uni- versity of California are not full of brotherly love and co-operation. For the benefit of those that like to expend the minimum of effort a Daily Trojan columnist kindly lists the "pipe" courses. The best bet, it seems, is a course in tea room management. A sign is reported to hang in the girls' dorm- itory at Radcliffe College which bluntly reads: "If you need a man after 10 o'clock call the janitor." It seems to me the sign should not stop right there. It should at least add direc- tions on what to do in case the janitor's wife is around.

We nominate this crack coming from the Daily Illini for the worst of the month - Italian gals fear Mussolini 'cause he's the Fascist man in Italy. * * * * The faculty of the Florida State College for Women has at last consented for their charges to attend dances with members of the stronger sex. Dancing with men will be permitted in all sorority houses and in dormitory parlors every Friday and Saturday evenings. A professor at the University of Maryland during a history lecture said, "Let us take France for instance-" "Why not, she took us for plenty," a voice from the rear of the room piped up. Collegians at the University of Wisconsin no longer need to leave the campus to satisfy their cravings for bright lights. A private night club which sells 3.2 beer and wines has been in opera- tion for a year and officials claim it is a success.

SPECIAL at Rug Department Third Floor G 4OODYEAR'S 124 SOUTH MAIN STREET Campus Opinion I Brother Against Brother . . N STATES WHERE there are two publicly-supported universities, the athletic rivalry of those two schools is'either in the most or the least healthy condition imag- inable. Rivalry between two large colleges in the same state is bound to be keen. Whether it must be bitter and rough is another question. There seem to be plenty of cases to show that it does not. Suggestions that the University of Alabama and Alabama Polytechnic Institute resume athletic relations are roundly opposed in a recent issue of the Crimson-White, student newspaper of the for- mer institution. Vaguely citing unfortunate ex- periences in one or two other states where intra- state contests were held, the Alabama paper con- cludes that such a football game would not be worth the "price" education would have to pay. Admitting that the meeting would be a great game, that it would be a big money-maker, and that both students and citizens are eager to see it brought about, the Crimson-White is afraid that future appropriations from the state legislature would be made on the basis of football partisan- ship! If such is the case, Alabama's government must be in sad shape indeed. In Wisconsin, where Marquette University is not a state-owned school but stands with the state university as the only other college of any size, it had been many years since the two universities met on the gridiron. Marquette was eager for the. game. But at Madison, where football teams were not always as strong as they might be, there was considerable opposition to risking the prestige of the university in its own state, It took action on the part of the state legislature to restore football relations, and since, perhaps only because Wis- consin has won all the games, all has gone well. Aside from the prestige argument, the only valid question seems to be how the rival teams and partisans will treat each other. Today most of the rough stuff seems to be out, State's goal post attack to the contrary notwithstanding. That episode was the only one to mar perfect relations over a long period of years, and came as the climax to a long-awaited and hard-earned victory Generally, it seems to be in those localities where state rivalry has been suppressed that it breaks out in the most obnoxious forms -where Letters published in this column should not be construed as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily.

To the Editor: Since the opening of the football season, I have dwelt long and seriously on a matter that touches me, and should touch every student and faculty member of this University, deeply. This is a very cosmopolitan campus, where racial discrimination is supposedly abolished. But is it? On Oct. 20 our football team is scheduled to play Georgia Tech. This team refuses to play a team with a Negro on its squad. They insist upon Willis Ward being kept out of the entire game, not be- cause he is one of the best Michigan players but because of their prejudice for his race. Are we as a University of supposedly intelligent, broad-minded students, going to permit a team who is evidently not sufficiently liberal-thinking to dictate to us. In viewing our opinions we say that we believe in equality of races. Now arises a chal- lenge as does every great issue. Do we or do we not have the courage of our convictions. In conclusion, I ask you, and you might well ask yourself, as students and members of the faculty, do ybu intend to permit this very vital situation to slip by as a necessary evil? Will we allow Willis Ward to be kept out of the game? --H. A. Smith. As Others See It Students' Football Is Passing THE STUDENT pulled up his coat collar, dug his hands deep into his pockets, and left the Col- orado-Kansas game by way of the ramps, a resent- ful individual. But he said not a word. Two years ago he had witnessed the game from choice seats, reserved, in the center of the west stadium. From north goal to south the various teams played, but he saw the teams in action all the way. Last year he found himself on the east side of the stadium with the last plays of the game blotted out by sun spots. He had a reserved seat then; he was seated near the middle of the playing field. But even then, all of the advantages of the year before had been taken away. This year, half of the choice section reserved for him last year had been taken away; he could see but few of the plays at the far end of the field; -he had come late and lost in the scramble for choice seats, while fenced away from better seats in the reserved sections which were empty. The student turned up his collar to the chill winds, dug his hands deep into his pockets, and left through the ramps. He said not a word. The student's football is passing. -The Daily Kansan.

The original Washington treaty will come up for extension, revamping or abandonment. The last three presidents, Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, all had naval conferences to deal with. None was especially qualified by previous experience or natural bent for personal considera- tion of the technical complexities involved. His engineering background gave President Hoover, perhaps, more of a grasp of that difficult phase of such negotiations than had Presidents Harding and Coolidge; but all three relied upon others. Chief Justice Hughes, then secretary of state, was the actual central peg of the Washington conference to a degree that overshadowed even so great a delegation colleague as Ehhu Root, to say nothing of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and Oscar Underwood. Secretary Stimson, Mr. Hoover's sur- prise selection for the state portfolio, was the main spring of the London supplemental conference. President Coolidge in the abortive three-power previous effort to round out the Washington pact, relied on Ambassador Hugh Gibson. FINAL PHASES of the preliminary talks for next year's reconsideration of the Washington pact will get. going in London with Ambassador-at- Large Norman Davis and his staff of experts speaking for the United States. There are intima- tions that President Roosevelt is preparing him- self for a far more intimate part in the ultimate conference next year, however, if not in the London preliminaries, than his White House pred- ecessors took in their time. To that end, the President is known to have in- voked and been assured of the informal aid of Chief Justice Hughes, the only active survivor of the original Washington delegation. It is to be expected that Justice Hughes' first-hand personal recollections of many phases of that significant gathering, not available even in the mass of con- farno antirinmatiot'o -rrlin Q'onrnmenf Ax- Kenneth Britton And Special Price to Reading Clubs, at U NIVEI BOOKS STATE STREET r p 4 I I
