NIGHT EDITOR: JOHN J. FLAHERTY Why Completely n coimunicado?.. . T HE MICHIGAN VARSITY cheer- leaders are sore irked. The head cheerleader -he's the one with the block M on his sweater - told us that of all the schools in the Big Ten, Michigan has about the worst cheering section. He further reports that most of the cheerleaders suspect that the Pontiac Schol for the Deaf and Dumb has enrolled a very large extension class at Ann Arbor. For the past two years they have tried to or- ganize a cheering section that would be a note- worthy feature of, game week-ends. They tried the California system of using cards, then yellow and blue mittens. This year we noticed that they have had printed huge cloth streamers with the name of the yell on it so that practically everybody in the Stadium could know what cheer they wanted. All to little avail. We believe that the general attitude of the stu- dent body toward a losing but fighting football team is excellent. The student body is still attend- ing the games. But as far as cheers are concerned they certainly must be classed as weak sisters. The Band has had only one bona fide occasion to play "The Victors" and needs the practise. The Maize and Blue has been stepped on pretty hard this fall but is still coming back for more, so it would be interesting to see what happened if the Michigan stands let out a cheer that could be heard on the field of battle. COLLEGIATE OBSERVER FOR THE WISCONSIN . L f 1, ,1 I "1 I GAME Ca mpus Opinion 11 " . . i J1 Dead, Dormant, Or Unborn?... L IBERALISM, though it yet speak- eth, is dead." A negative debating team from Oxford and Cam- bridge did its best to disprove that resolution last Monday night, but its best was not enough to keep an affirmative McGill University squad from gaining the decision. Liberalism is dead and buried in both the eco- nomic and political, national and international fields, McGill men declared. Amid a general com- plex of fear, political bureaucracy at home and economic nationalism are gripping the world. Even in our own country and in the college field, liberals - those few who yet speak -look upon such events as the ousting of five U.C.L.A. students for communistic leanings "and attempting to de- stroy the university" and find it not good. Better teams than Oxford-Cambridge would have a pretty hard time proving that liberalism has life today. The average man is more interested in economic security, and the state is seeking pre- paredness as a buffer against war. On many sides democratic institutions have given way to dic- tatorships. Some might be inclined to think, however, that liberalism is more a thing of the future than of the past - that it has never really lived except in iso- lated cases. When the present is gloomy the past always looks a lot rosier. If you can believe that no crisis has ever been as stark as the existing one, you may bask in the holy martyrdom of being able to take it like no one else ever could. So it is that when gazing into the past we are apt to become a bit short-sighted and take liberal- ism speaking for liberalism actually living. Liberal- ism has spoken in almost all ages, but, practically, it has seldom found its way into being. In America today frequent speeches by "1.00 per cent Amer- icans" are sufficient to keep a lot of persons under the illusion that they are living in a free country. All this is based on the definition of liberalism which the debaters apparently agreed upon: that it involves freedom from bureaucratic control; or spiritual freedom, free individualism, and the un- fettered right of self-expression for all mankind. Did liberalism in that sense have its inception with the Reformation and the Renaissance and flourish1 for four centuries under the impetus of the bour- geoisie? McGill debaters believed that it did.

The Gauntlet Is Down To the Editor: May I suggest that the young lady who wrote the article on "Sisterly Love" might perhaps be on the "wrong side of the fence?" Perhaps she has had an unfortunate experience in relation to soror- ities, but does that necessarily mean that in all in- stances sororities are a huge failure? I am inclined to disagree. I, too, lived in a dormitory; I, too, moved into a sorority house and lived with girls whom I knew hardly at all; I, too, have leftmy "dorm friends" but, nevertheless, I am very happy. And I am the type of person whQ is highly sensitive and who finds it very hard to warm up to people. In our house, it can be safely said that not one girl is unhappy because of the fact that she has sorority affiliations. Any girl of this modern generation living in the environment that a modern University such as ours produces should have enough intelligence and enough foresight to make inquiries concerning the character of her prospective sorority sisters and pledges. Granted that the girl has made these necessary'inquiries; granted that she is satisfied with that which she has learned. Is it the fault of the sorority if she cannot then adapt herself? No, adaptability is the keynote to adjustment in any society. If she has not the ability to adapt herself toga sorority after she has foundiout that everything in the sorority is to her liking, then she has only herself to blame. I am willing to challenge the writer of "Sisterly Love"; I am willing to wager that if a vote were taken among sorority women, the outcome of this vote would show that the majority of women in sorority are there, and remain there, because they are happy, not because they are unhappy. -Another One Who Should Know. As Others See It Rah-Rah: Michigan vs. Columbia ANY REMAINING vestige of doubt that the Lion had made the grade was dispelled yesterday. Those puny souls who advocate de-emphasis of football, malcontents who scream for greater stress on intramural sports, disrupters who have sat by glumly while Columbia rose in the gridiron firma- ment can run for the sewer now. And those timid souls who described the Rose Bowl game as a publicity venture and the epitome of overemphasis had better shiver in silence from now on. For next seron Columbia's gladiators will play the Michigan eleven, standard-bearer of the Big Ten, long a power in the Middle West. That's sump'n, we guess., -Columbia Spectator. Let's Go Hobo AT KANSAS we once had a famous Hobo Day. There are still some students on the Hill who remember Old Doc Yak selling his pep, the student beggars who lined the sidewalks, the blacked-out teeth in the mouths of once beautiful girls, the corn cob pipes and1 black eyes, and the Hobo Varsity held in Robinson Gymnasium. This famous Hobo Day was a day for the stu- dents, for pep, for school spirit, tradition, and for good clean fun. Perhaps there was some rowdi- ness, but not enough of a truly harmful nature to really be troublesome. Hobo Day served to help every student blow off some of the energetic steam which always accum- ulates in young men and women. -University Daily Kansan. It has been nroven at the Masschusetts Tnstiite By BUD BERNARD A class in English poetry at the University of Maryland was given the task of writing four lines of dramatic poetry. The results were var- ious, and selecting the verse of an unusually bright student, the professor read: "A boy was walking down the track, The train was coming fast, The boy stepped off the railroad track To let the train go past." "The verse is very well done," said the pro- fessor, "but it lacks drama. Try it again and make it more dramatic." Whereupon in a sur- prisingly short time, the ambitious student pro- duced the following verse: "A boy was walking down the track, The train was coming fast, The train jumped off the railroad track To let the boy go past." With all this talk about cutting at various schools, the University of Illinois, to avoid misun- derstanding, comes forth with an announcement that the roll MUST be taken, although the pro- fessors use their discretion about the number of cuts allowed. A recent disappearance of a student, whose absence was not discovered for several days, because class rolls were not accurate, caused the check-up on the regulation. Here's a squib sent in by N.N.L. a sophomore. Love is like an onion - You taste it with delight And when it's gone you wonder What ever made you bite. A certain professor at the University of Illinois was speaking against the use of cosmetics, and in the course of this speech he made the fol- lowing statement: "The more I come in contact with this sub- stance, the less I like it." Here's a crack coming from another col- umnist, Walter Winchell. (Yes, he's good too.) He says that New York is where they burn scandal at both ends. Duke football players who are waiters at a girls dormitory are "snubbing" the co-eds because of their table manners. Even though they haven't gone on strike by refusing to wait on table, the athletes will neither speak to a dormitory co-ed nor dance with her. A professor at the University of Missouri was perplexed when a student in his history class stated that Benedict Arnold was a janitor. He asked the writer of the paper and received the following answer: "The book says that after his exile he spent the rest of his life in abasement." A Washington BYSTANDER By KIRKE SIMPSON ONLY A DULL EYE could fail to perceive that the "American revolution of 1932" is still "re- volting," with accelerating force. It is a revolution of ballets, not bullets, but a revolution neverthe- less - a turning away from long beaten paths of national policy now sanctioned by a double re- cording of sovereign popular will more compelling than any force of arms. The answer of the American voter to any who would disagree with the trend of administration policy can be read in the figures of the Senate elec- tion majorities, of the governorship contests, even in the never static House returns. OBSERVE THAT, in Vermont, Delaware, and New Jersey, the verdict on the Roosevelt New Deal written in senatorial and gubernatorial elec- tions, seemed practically unanimous. What solace can its opponents find in the fact that here and there a Republican, a Progressive or a Farmer- Laborite carries the New Deal banner with what- ever shadings and reservations? In House contests traditions of an off-year "backswing," hoary with age, went down before the New Deal onslaught. "When you are licked, you are licked," says Re- publican Chairman Fletcher with a candor all the more refreshing because behind his remark must have lain recognition of the personal consequences implicit in such a licking.. His chairmanship and commission to direct the party campaign in accordance with that strange national committee creed employed in lieu of a platform, was born of a desperate effort for har- mony. It was an attempt somehow to bridge the gap between party segments that stand on the two far sides of the wide New Deal pathway. It carried no one to victory. THE PLAIN EVIDENCE of the results, only more convincingly driven home by meager excep- tions, is that definitely standing against the New Deal was all but political suicide on election day. And that fact, which election aspirants of all parties, to whom vote-seeking is a highly practical business, will not overlook, is a totally new factor to be reckoned with when the new Congress con- venes with its overwhelming New Deal maiorities I1 You would thoroughly enjoy a MICHIGAN ,' LANKET Extra-large size of the Michigan Seal, best wool and decorated with the Block "M" or Monogram.
