There is no doubt that the radio chain in ques- tion was quite within its rights in deciding what should, or should not, be broadcast over their stations. That question, however, is beside the point. For more than 20 years, advanced thinkers in the United States have been trying to remove the shroud that has been tightly wound around sex and related topics. Medical men have pointed out that if they could remove this veil and attack venereal diseases in the same manner that they do tuberculosis, they could cure it within a few years. Leaders in the medical field have realized for years that only through some system of educa- tion could they possibly hope to ever get at the real root of the trouble. The action taken by the broadcasters in preventing Dr. Parran from aiding in this educational movement by lecturing over the air is a notable example of the mid-Victorianisml that has hindered science for centuries. No argument that the broadcasters or others can offer that such an action is a protection of the public morals can hold any weight when one con- siders the veiled approaches to obscenity that com- mercial programs exhibit. After all, this is the 20th century. To keep pace with 20th century scientific progress, we must abandon our 18th century ideals and adopt those more fitting to modern achievements and intel- lectual advance. As Others See It Credit To The League THE GREAT DIFFERENCE between the war scares of 1914 and 1934 is the League of Na- tions. The League has proved its usefulness in the settlement it has reached in the Jugoslav-Hun- garian controversy over responsibility for the as- sassination of King Alexander. After the partici- pants in the Geneva conference had blown off steam, a general will for peace prevailed and the result was the Council's unanimous adoption of the placatory resolution. The Austro-Serb difficulties of 1914, presenting many parallels to the present difficulties, were a matter for negotiation between the two nations themselves. The prevailing secrecy made it diffi- cult for the other powers to intervene for peace. The hotheads on both sides prevailed, allies on both sides were dragged in, and the fatal spark was supplied to the European powder mine. In 1934, however, the difficulties growing out of the murder of a public figure are subject to open negotiations, and the machinery exists for bring- ing the nations together in frank discussion. COLLEGIATE OBSERVER By BUD BERNARD Two Madison, Wisconsin hotels were picketed by University of Wisconsin students last Wednes- day as protest against alleged discrimination to- ward the cast of the "Green Pastures." Picketing was not for the purpose of decreasing business of the two hotels, picketers explained, but was to show that a feeling of racial equality did existC among the student body. Here's a contribution coming from L.L.B.: THINGS I'D LIKE TO SEE A Tri-Delt who didn't think her house was the best on campus - A Chi-O who could con- verse without shouting - a Kappa who was different - a Gamma Phi who wasn't good - an O Pi who didn't think she was a poten- tial Miss America - a Pi-Phi who would ad- mit they didn't get ali the girls on their first list. Tuition at the City College of New York is .one dollar. Contrasted with this is the minimum yearly expenditure per student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the average cost to attend Vassar College. A student in the former school can not get a year's education for less than $1,800 and the average Vassar women spends $1,300 between September and June. "Dear Bud," writes A.A.A., "it might interest you to know that one of our brilliant freshmen this year recently brought up the question of how that enormous Christmas tree in front of the library was ever taken through the en- gineering arch. These freshmen certainly get brighter every year, don't they? Why theologians throw up their hands. Answers to queries at the University of Minnesota showed that no one student in a class of 160 had any doubts about the truth of evolution and that only 20 per cent of another large class admitted they had ever heard of Pontius Pilate.

PROBABLY THE MAJORITY of stu- dents take the Alumni Association and its members as a matter of course. The "old grads" come back for the football games, wearing shabby hats and seeming harmless enough. That's about all there is to it. The other side of the alumni picture, that which gives the university its very life blood, is all too easily overlooked. The state of Michigan is ac- credited with supporting the University, but it needs no more than a second look to determine that the state has played second fiddle to the alum- ni in putting Michigan in the front rank of state universities in the United States. A look at the campus itself furnishes the most immediate and material understanding of what graduates have done. The buildings of the Law quadrangle, most magnificent of campus struc- tures, are the gift of a graduate, William W. Cook, as is Martha Cook dormitory. The Clements Li- brary, Hill Auditorium, Betsy $arbour House, Hel- en Newberry Residence and many other familiar campus edifices came to the University directly through the efforts of alumni or alumnae. The Union and the League, vital influences in under-. graduate life, are also the result of graduates' ef- forts. In addition to these more obvious benefits, traceable to individual alumni and alumnae, there are others, more or less behind the scenes, that play an important role in student life, such as en- dowed professorships, fellowships, laboratory ap- paratus and large library collections. Many of these things have come to the Univer- sity through individual gifts, but at present the Alumni Association is taking steps to insure even greater benefits for the University from its gradu- ates. The largest of these plans is the recently conceived Ten-Year Program, that has already re- sulted in the gift of several thousands of dollars to the University in money, and even more in books and apparatus. Another effort made by the association is the Emeritus Club, which in- cludes in its organization graduates who have been out of the University for 50 or more years, and constantly keeps its members in touch with the needs of their alma mater and urges them to remember the University in their wills. The students of the-University should thank the state of Michigan for the opportunity it is giving them to obtain an education, but always remem- bering that a greater debt of gratitude is due the alumni, who in reality have made Michigan what it is and can be. To the League's peaceful influence must be added the wise decision of Jugoslavia to end the mass deportations of Hungarians, which had intensified the anger of the Magyar Government and people. Tension on both sides is relieved, too, by the pro- posal for an international convention to deal with cases of political and terrorist crimes and con- spiracies which may lead to difficulties between nations. This will be an extension of League activ- ities and may prove a largely useful one at times when feelings are inflamed by acts of violence. It is a heartening spectacle when the world's leading statesmen devote their energies to the cause of peace. Foreign Minister Laval of France spread oil upon the troubled waters by praising his nation's ally, Jugoslavia, because it had not, "as others did 20 years ago, taken the law into its own hands, but had turned to Geneva." Capt. Anthony Eden of England invoked the aid of League mem- bers by reminding of the "heavy responsibility upon all of us at this council table." Italy, while leaning toward Hungary, kept the parley on an even balance by favoring orderly procedure in the controversy. The smaller nations, as well, exerted efforts for smoothing the difficulty. It is undoubtedly true, as Dr. Benes of Czecho- slavakia said, that were there no League of Na- tions, a Yugoslav-Hungarian war would now be a "dolorous and horrible reality." It is unnecessary to point out the virtual impossibility of localizing such a war, in view of the involved and clashing inter- ests of the European states. The League may have fallen far short of realizing all the early expecta- tions, but the present settlement of the grave menace to peace goes far toward vindicating the ideals of its founder, Woodrow Wilson. -St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Peace Through Distrust DURING THE PAST YEAR many capable ob- servers have emphasized the parallelism be- tween present developments in Europe and those of 1914. These observations are strongly supported by history, yet there are alsoin the existing situa- tion many elements quite unlike those of the period preceding the last great war. Most important is the fact that there is now no rigidly crystallized system of alliances -no counterpart of the Triple Entente and Alliance. This fact is strikingly illustrated by the two great international crises of this year -4the murder of Chancellor Dollfuss of Austria and the more re- cent assassination of King Alexander of Jugoslavia with its present Hungarian development. In the first case France and Italy, with the support of Great Britain, were united in opposing any exten- sion of German influence into Austria. Since the Hitler government was able to find no support, it was willing to retreat and peace was preserved. In the present situation, however, the alignment is different. Jugoslavia, apparently confident of French support, has taken a threatening attitude towards Hungary. Meanwhile Italy, whose alliance with Hungary has proved to be mutually bene- ficial, is the natural enemy of the Serb-Croat-Slo- vene state and urges resistance to its aggressions. 'r hrI. nfn,.n nnu rnan fli n4- . fin - r , +frm Cic , c By SIGRID ARNE . (Associated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. - Henry Suydam of the Department of Justice has been hard at work on the new investigation into crime prevention. He went home and to bed late one night, pleased at the thought of the jammed ice-box and the big dinner planned for the next day. He woke to find the household in consternation. Some thief had unloaded the ice-box during the night. Suydam ate in a restaurant. The telephone in a senator's home rang late one night. His sister answered. It was a man looking for a Job. She suggested he call the next day. "But I am one of the senator's most loyal supporters," he protested. "Well, hereafter," she replied, "would you mind supporting him in the daytime?" MINISTER SIMOPOULIS, from Greece, and his wife are finding that a recent practical joke of theirs was a boomerang. They sent out party invitations all beautifully written in Greek. Guests had to hunt translators. Now the acceptances are going back written in every language including Patagonian. For weeks Marvin McIntyre of the Presi- dent's secretariat wondered just how good his daughter, Marie, was in the amateur the- atricals to which she gives much time. Then one night he sneaked into a dress re- hearsal unannounced. When he left, he bought 20 tickets for the next night's performance. DEMOCRATIC CHIEFS are laughing at an over- conscientious precinct leader in North Caro- lina. He had promised his organization 32 Demo- cratic votes to 20 Republican. Four days after election, he couldn't be found and he hadn't turned in the count. I When the county leader caught him, he looked crestfallen. He had been hiding because the count showed 31 Democratic votes and 21 Republican. Marquis James, who became famous for his biography of Sam Houston, called "The Ra- ven," has gained the aid of "Barnie" Baruch, the New York financier, in writing Baruch's life story. But Baruch couldn't stay in one place that long. So he added James to his traveling ret- inue, and so far James has seen Europe and the Florida watering spots. IEORGE N. PEEK of the Federal import-export bank threaded his way solemnly down the speaker's platform and faced several hundred lis- teners. The audience was solemnly waiting. Suddenly they burst into a hearty shout of laughter as the loud-speaker system at the speaker's table caught up and bellowed forth what Peek thought he was whispering to a man on the platform: "Is this little black thing the mike?"
