RUWITCH 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 COLLEGIATE OBSERVER i 11 I 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.

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 litarnih vi- n a. m a r it. i+ llm ,an I I 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.
