NIGHT EDITOR : DAVID G. MACDONALD Pickem Pool Passes On... E IGHT HUNDRED STUDENTS will admit today that Barnum was right. These are the students who bet an aggregate of $304 on the football game selections of one Pickem Pool, Cleveland, "insures payment of winners." They won $2,115 on their choices but so far have seen no sight of their filthy lucre or "unearned, increment" as the economics department would say. The Pickem Pool was only too glad to pay off the winners when the amount won by the winners didn't exceed the amount taken in, They even paid up the week before last when the winners took a $90 loss, but they evidently decided to fold up when the smart-gambling Michigan students took them for a loss of $1,811. The reason, of course, that the Pickem company lost so heavily on last Saturday's games was because there wasn't one upset. The selections were also rather easy, at least four of the games on the list being between topheavy favorites and under- dogs. Had Michigan converted against Illinois last Saturday and the game ended in a tie, the Pickem Pool would have been the heavy winner instead of the students because the majority of the Mich- igan students bet against the Maize and Blue. How- ever, the Gods of Chance favored the students this week and great rejoicing would have been preva- lent in Ann Arbor had Pickem paid. It's rather silly to tell students not to put their money into such venturesome enterprises. Most of them know that already. However, they may not realize that the running out of such concerns as the Pickem company when the losses become too heavy was a common practice last week. One company at the University of Minnesota re- fused to pay off winners and several other com- panies in Eastern colleges did the same. The Pickem Pool has undoubtedly ruined its status, on this campus. No one will buy tickets from their agents, and for the present will probably steer clear of all such schemes that are so fair on the surface. The local operator of the pool that was such good fun while it lasted fortunately held onto the money he took in here, so the fair name of Pickem may not become quite as besmirched as that of kindred enterprises. As Others See It German Scholarship Goes Nazi PROFESSORS in German universities must alter their views to fit those of the Nazi regime if they expect to keep their positions. The conflict of theories in controversial fields must cease, to make way for supreme rule of the National Social- ist philosophy. These tenets, in fact, are taught in the universities today, and are applied to the most remote fields of scholarship. Professors mold their lecturet accordingly, or resign. Academic freedom? Certainly, "if it is not misused to promulgate the- ories and thoughts inimical to the life of the nation." That "if" is broad enough to cover the entire world of non-Nazi (not necessarily anti- Nazi) thought. The ukases recited above are not slanders against Germany by persons out of sympathy with its pres- ent government. They were laid down in a recent address by Hans FTank, Nazi Commissar for the judiciary and president of the German Law Acad- emy. There may have been some prsons who, while sympathizing with the spirit which caused Harvard to reject a $1,000 Nazi scholarship recently offered, felt that the action might cause some student to be deprived of educational privileges in one of Germany's distinguished universities. The plight of German education, as disclosed by the speaker quoted, shows of how little real worth such a scholarship would have been for a student inter- ested in anything other than the Nazi ideology. -St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Study Abroad HERE has been some discussion lately in aca- demic circles on the advantages of including foreign study in the undergraduate curriculum. The latest discussion appears in the editorial col- umns of the Harvard Crimson. The" Cambridge journal gives the plan a hearty approval. Smith, Wellesley, and Cornell have adopted a system of several years study abroad and found it productive of success. We can see little reason for not following the same plan here. Those who object to foreign study because of an antipathy toward the policies of Herr Hitler or Il Duce exhibit that short-sighted view of educa- tion of which we accuse Fascist nations. A liberal educational institution - and one that professes to be progressive -should gladly acqui- esce to this type of proposal. Men who come to college with a purely social end in view would, of course, eschew such a plan of study, but those interested in a broader education would find such an opportunity valuable. A student of languages, philosophy, or Euro- peon history would find two years abroad inval- uable. Foreign study and foreign travel offer bene- fits well known to all: It would behoove Yale University authorities to consider this liberalizing of the curriculum. The technical difficulties are most certainly not in- surmountable. Care must be taken to select the right men and arrangements must be made with European universities about courses, credits, and tutorial work. But all these obstacles seem minor when the undoubted advantages are weighed. -The Yale News. The University of London, England, has ap- proximately 12,300 students and 1,243 instructors. Dr. Melvin Jacobs, University of Washington an- thropologist, is making phonograph records to pre- serve the vanishing languages of the Pacific Coast By BUD BERNARD Here's a story, about a co-ed at Cornell Uni- versity who is taking a course in social science. The class had been discussing the various prob- lems that arise in the family, when suddenly the instructor sprung the question, "What is a prerequisite for divorce?" That stumped the class for a moment, but then this bright young lady raised her hand and'waved it triumphant- ly. "Well, Miss , supposing you tell the class the prerequisite for divorce," said the instruc- tor. She crashed through with the statement, "The first prerequisite for divorce is that you have to be married." Here's a classification made by a senior at the University of Wisconsin: Freshmen listen to every- thing that is said; sophomores talk too much; jun- iors observe too much, and seniors know too much. Here's a squib sent in by F. C., a junior: IS IT A SIN? It's wrong to neck- The critics say; But still it's nice To feel that way. "A waste of time and money," is the epithet hurled at Phi Beta Kappa and other honorary fraternities on the Ohio University Campus by the editors of the student publication, the Green and White. Many editorials have been run in the paper attacking the organizations, and leaders of the honoraries have taken up the torch in their de- fense. Both editors are members of the leading hon- orary fjaternities. "Dear Bud," writes M.S. "Have you heard the story of the nudist who went to a mas- querade party saying he was disguised as a road map, as he had varicose veins?" :k 1 To the girls looking for college romance: choose your sweethearts from Phi Delta Theta. And to the boys: Date at the Alpha Gamma Delta, Pi Beta Phi, or Alpha Omicron Pi houses. 11 6 . This statement was the result of a survey taken on the University of Illinois campus recently. The romance present in each house has in each in- stance been determined by how many fraternity pins have been given or received there. The Phi Delta Thetas seem to be the cham- pion pin losers, because 15 girls are wearing their badge. Tied for second place are Delta Upsilon, Phi Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Psi and Sigma Chi. As for the sorority with the largest collection of fraternity pins Alpha Gamma Delta, Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Omicron Phi seem to have the lead.

I, Washington Off The Record 1! READ THE MICHIGAN DAILY CLASSIFIEDS ._ ___ , II i 1 . The Class Election Farce .. . By SIGRID ARNE W ilAT A PREPOSTEROUS farce this business of class elections is! Here are people who are arrived at a fairly high distance in the educational ladder arguing, sweat- ing, lying, weeping, swearing, promising, indulging in hysterics - and all over something which they and everyone else admits is a lot of nonsense not worth a damn. The party led by Mr. Whoossit is opposing the party led by Mr. Whatis. The two parties are fighting with unrestrained fervor to place their men and women in class offices which have no power, in which the occupants do no wok, and where they will all be forgotten as soon as the elec- tion is over. To accomplish this laudable purpose it is necessary to promise jobs. And this is done by promising houses and dormitories positions on committees which do not exist. The sophomore class of the Tau Tau Tau house for example, does not knowhow it will vote. Con- sternation reigns in the breasts of the politicos in the two camps. One promises Tau Tau Tau three positions on the publicity committee and two posi- tions on the executive committee. Neither commit- tee ever meets, but Tau Tau Tau appears satisfied. Thereupon the other party raises the ante by promising Tau Tau Tau four positions on the pub- licity committee and three on the executive com- mittee. The Tau Tau Tau bloc of votes is cast for the candidates of the latter party, whoever they may be. What does Tau Tau Tau get? Nothing. Even if Tau Tau Tau were granted a class office it would still be getting nothing. But when it is granted mythical positions on mythical committees, and when it can become very much excited about main- taining its "prestige" by gaining these committee jobs, one cannot help think that what Tau Tau Tau needs more than anything else is a brain analyst.. That is the class election. It is a grand battle between opponents who employ empty shells and fight for an hollow prize. It is a splendid farce, made even more so by the pompous solemnity of the participants. More students are registered for the commerce THE BEAUTIFUL new marine monument is now in place on the Mt. Vernon Highway much to the delight of Rep. Sol Bloom of New York who pushed its completion. Ten sea-gulls seem to float over the monument, but .they are cleverly balanced and held together where their wings touch. Bloom heard some cynical tourist snort, "Hm! Won't take long before they break off." So Bloom did some investigating. Then he took Secretary Swanson of the Navy to see it. As Swan- son looked, eight husky workmen climbed the monument and stood on the birds' wings. "Sol, you read my mind," said Swanson. "I'd never have believed it, if I hadn't seen it." President Roosevelt was reminded at a re- cent conference that the meeting was his 150th one with the press since he took office. "Gentlemen, I congratulate you on your en- durance," he said. "Same to you," was the immediate answer. Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British ambassador, has an "alphabet soup" all his own. Were he to sign his name with all the titles and honors which are his it would read like this: "Sir.Ronald Lindsay, P.C., G.C.M.G., K.C.B., C.V.O., M.V.O., C.B., and LL.D." THE CAPITAL was paid a delicate, if confusing, compliment by a visitor from the Southwest. He phoned police that he spent such an exciting day seeing the sights he had forgotten where he left his auto. "Okay," said the desk sergeant, "What's the license number?" Silence. "Say," said the visitor. "I've forgotten that, to6, for the minute. I'll call you back." Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, once of NRA, has found the ideal office for the resting he wants to do. There is a large fireplace at one end of the room surrounded by cartoons of the birth of NRA. Over the general's desk is a picture of the President, autographed, "To my good friend, Hugh - Franklin D. Roosevelt." THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS has a rare book room which holds, probably, the world's finest collection of rare editions. SHNIORS HAVE YOUR PICTURE TAKEN FOR THE MICH IGA N ENSIAN.
