Facing Toward
1935 Season...
MEMBERS OF THE student body and
townspeople will meet tonight in the
ballroom of the Union for the annual Michigan
Union Football Smoker honoring the members of
the Varsity football squad.
The Union has been fortunate in securing as the
principal speaker Wilfrid Smith, who is recognized
as one of the leading authorities on football among
Mid-Western sports writers. He also acts as an offi-
cial for professional games.
In the past few years, with Michigan represented
by the best teams in the nation, these celebrations
have been very well attended by spirited supporters.
This year the Varsity football squad has experi-
enced a disastrous season and has accordingly
failed to arouse the enthusiasm of local rooters to
the same heights which its predecessors did.
It is not because the team has failed to ty, how-
ever, that it suffered a poor season. Every member
of the squad was on the field in uniform for two or
three hours a day six afternoons of the week, work-
ing all the harder after each disappointing defeat.
The fighting spirit which was characteristic of
this year's outclassed team was the same fighting
spirit shown by Michigan elevens with better rec-
ords in the past. This fact became more apparent
in each game, particularly in that great first half
at Minneapolis. It is to be hoped 'that students and
others who have worshipped victorious Michigan
football teams in the past will not forget that to-
night.
The coaching staff is already looking ahead to
another season in 195. It is essential that the
entire student body begin now to aid in bolstering
the spirit of the squad for that campaign.
As Othezrs See It
Unlimited Cuts
SEVERAL YEARS AGO the University of Chi-
cago, under the administration of their new
president, inaugurated a policy of unlimited cuts
for all undergraduates. At first this news met with
outcries of radicalism, stupidity and nonsense.
Most leading institutions agreed that to put into
the hands of innocent undergraduates such a
potent weapon as unlimited cuts would be noth-
ing short of suicide. And it was suicide.
Suicide for the professors who could not hold
their classes. For by reason of optional class at-
tendance students could pick the worwhile, inter-
esting courses, allow the droning lecturer or willy-
nilly professor of something-or-other to fascinate
an empty classroom. In no time at all those men
who were unable to teach, who were unsuited for
educational purposes, were rapidly dropped by a
wise administration which then proceeded to in-
stall in their stead men who could, and did, offer
knowledge. And in two years the class attend-
ance at the University of Chicago was higher
under the unlimited cut system than it had been
under the old, antiquated, present system now
in force at practically every institution of its kind
in the country.
Furthermore, those undergraduates who did not
belongin college dropped out. And those professors
who likewise did not belong, dropped out as well.
We believe that this is the ideal situation.
Perhaps Pennsylvania is too staid to even con-
sider this proposition. Perhaps they think that
their enrollment would fall to that of a small
college. Perhaps they think no one would ever go
to classes.
At any rate the administration can never be a
second University of Chicago - a real liberal insti-
tution - until they at least consider the plan.
-The Daily Pennsylvanian.
Abolish Compulsory Classes!
COMPULSORY CLASSES constitute one of the
herds of Sacred White Cows in American
education, more adapted to a reform school than
a great University.
If a student comes voluntarily to the University
for an education, why force him to go to class? Are
the professors so dull and boring that students
must be compelled to listen? If there is so little
of value in the lectures that a student can cut
classes all quarter and still pass the final, why
should he go?
Some university departments take no roll, yet the
attendance is better than average. Why? Because
the lectures are so interesting that students want
to come, because the responsibility for getting an
education is then thrown directly on the student,
who accepts it.
-University of Washington Daily.
City College Strikes Today
°CITY COLLEGE students will go on strike today
to protest the reign of terror which has been
imposed by a reactionary administration upon the
undergraduate body.
Thousands throughout the country will anxiously
await reports of the walkout which represents the
accumulated resentment and opposition of years
of suppression. Its progress will be watched by
every student and educator who fears the growing
abridgement of civil rights in America today.
This will be no dispassionate or lofty concern
manifested on hundreds of other campuses. It will
portray the signal realization that the students
at City College are fighting a battle whose signifi-
cance far transcends the borders of the uptown
school. It will indicate widespread awareness of
the implications of the conflict being waged there.
The undergraduates of City College are defend-
ing independent education in the face of the most
vicious attacks this state has ever seen.
They are risking their status and their degrees
to combat the fascist techniques of President Rob-
insnn and his enhnrts

By BUD BERNARD
We are devoting today's column to this
contribution, which we enjoyed very much.
It was written, according to the author, to
prove that instead of having their ardent pas-
sons dampened by the sight of too-colorful
women, men really like it.
T HE DATE COMPLEX (ION)
This thing of finding girls dates
Is one that always aggravates
The matrons of sororities
And social clubs and dormit'ries.
In fact, the thing's in such a knot
Some think that men should pick by lot!
You'd turn your name in to the dean
And say you'd like to take a lien
Upon a girl for - well -- a dance -
You're desperate - you'll take a chance.
And so he takes his catalogue
(You pray in silent monologue)
While he with academic voice
Tolls out your fate -- a hobson's choice.
But that, you say, is quite unfair -
(She might have been - you're quite right there!)
And rather than give up your rights
You'll stay at home and study, nights!
It seems upon investigation
That this is needless complication.
Why not inaugurate a course
(It's one the druggists will endorse)
Which every girl in school must take
With no exams - no books to break --
Whose subject will be paints and powder
(The more the merrier - the better the louder)
And teach them all from Z to A
Just how to stow the men away!
One fact's well known to me and you -
That savage girls themselves tatoo;
It's not because they like to paint
And prick themselves until they faint -
It's simply that it's in the game
With captivation as the aim.
They file their teeth and dye their hair
And glue on features that aren't there!
And Cleopatra - before your date -
Used to wreck the Roman state.
And England'squeen - the famous Bess -
Was quite a hand at that business;
She did her face with paint anoint
(That she died unwed's beside the point.)
But one thing's true and always will
Most men prefer the sugar'd pill.
It's not a compliment at all
That they desire a colorful fall.
So women, you must get to work
And like the savage, paint and perk;
Just open up your powder box
And men will come in droves and flocks.
Tint all your nails red, alike,
They'll come like pickets to a strike!
I realize it's vile stuff,
But men can't seem to get enough.
Use rouge and lipstick left and right
They'll mob you then from dawn to night.
Enough! - These things are what I advocate
For any girl who wants a date.
It's sad, of course and quite a sin
That men should scorn the genuine.
A Delta Gain at Ohio State says: "The wages
of sin are merely deferred tuition in the school
of experience."

No Turning
Of The Tide . . .
R EPORTS FROM WASHINGTON,
which are probably more or less ru-
mor, but which nevertheless seem to have a basis
of truth, are to the effect that the administration
has no intention whatsoever of relenting in its
policy of a greater centralization of power within
the limits of the Federal government. This is the
case, despite the fact that President Roosevelt led
us to believe that the extraordinary powers given
him were to extend only until the crisis was past.
To the experienced political observer, this move
has beenanticipated for some time. Since the Civil
War, with its destruction of the state rights prin-
cipal, the power of the national government has
been gradually but steadily increased. This same
government has become so powerful that states
today are progressively becoming subdivisions of
the Federal government just as counties are sub-
divisions of a state.
The Constitution originally reserved certain pow-
ers to the states. These were to include all powers
not given to the Federal government and not ex-
pressively prohibited to the states. This was in-
tended to be a large grant of sovereign power,
but it is gradually dwindling to a mere nothing.
States were to be united into a union, not to be
subdivisions of one. Such a philosophy, however,
was repudiated by the Civil War. Every issue over
which there is any social, economic or political
importance is at once seized upon as a matter re-
quiring the attention and control of the Federal
government.
Industry has for long been a major field over
which the national administrations have slowly
'been gaining control. The policy has been gradual
but sure, and it is folly to believe that the ulti-
mate control as assured under the NRA will ever
be given up. That has been the goal of pro-
ponents of the centralization theory for many
years.
When any issue becomes of national importance,
it will inevitably come under the control of the
central, government, sooner or later. This may or
may not be a good thing. The American philosophy
or at least that of the majority of the people has
come to be that such a movement is not only
justified, but highly desirable. The minority can go
on claiming its Constitutional rights, but as long
as the country is faced with examples of ineffi-
ciency and laxity in state governments there is

A Washington
BYSTANDER
By KIRKE SIMPSON
FOR ONE AS FREE-SPOKEN in press confer-
ences and otherwise as President Roosevelt,
the utter silence he thus far has observed as to
the election outcome is a matter of special signifi-
cance. Almost anyone else whose national stand-
ing gave his opinion any weight has had his say
on what it all meant.
To get any idea of Roosevelt reaction to the un-
challenged sweep of public support of his leader-
ship written on the Nov. 6 ballots, words of his
chief spokesman since then must be examined.
There will be no other way of earmarking in ad-
vance Roosevelt policy trends of the future unless
the President breaks his silence in a new fireside
radio address.
And his big league lieutenants such as Donald
Richberg usually are careful to say they speak
their own views only when they discuss the future
of the New Deal.
NEVERTHELESS, THERE IS a general similarity
about what the present day corps of adminis-
tration talkers -Richberg, Secretary Roper, Ec-
cles, the Roosevelt-named new head of the Fed-
eral reserve board, or anybody else -have to say
when it must come from the White House hopper.
The purport of that, however stated, is that the
next step is up to business.
Clearly the President, relaxing at Warm Springs
against the background of that election sweep and
less troubled by vast and critical clashes between
labor and capital than he was at any time during
his summer trip west or the subsequent sojourn at
Hyde Park, must look on this as a crossroads in
national affairs. The effort to stimulate recovery
through private initiative, backed as it is by at least
lip service of organized business and finance, is too
concentrated not to have a vital meaning.
