That survey is now under way. Three distinct forms of men's student government have been pro- pctied so far. They will be printed, with many others that are submitted, on successive days in The Daily. Printed questionnaires will be mailed to all fraternities and campus organizations and will be made available to independents by the end of the week. It is the hope of the Council that sufficient replies will be returned to it to form the basis for a definite resolution to be re- turned to the Committee on Student Affairs. The achievement of a definite, satisfactory and effective form of men's government is now up to the students. Some of them have long clamored for freedom from University paternalism and B.M.O.C. dictztorship. At the same time they have hoped for a student governhent which would be more than a mere figurehead. Perhaps men of the student body are no longer interested in any sort of student government. If ghat is the case, it may as well be known. Perhaps the men can at last achieve a really worthwhile government. If they can it will be only by serious consideration of the problem now. Given this ade- quate opportunity for democratic reform, the men need no longer grumble if their government is not what they might hope for it. Ped es rianism Made Diffcult.. . I TUDENTS RETURNING to classes in the cold, gray dawn of an abys- mal Monday morning found that Nature had as- sumed a mood which harmonized splendidly with their own. Returning students also found that many local citizens were conspiring with Nature to make their homecoming a fitting one. On no few sidewalks could be recognized the same snow and ice that had been there sixteen days before - the whole transformed into more of a shambles by the furious efforts of a weather man who had been unrelent- ing during the two-week period. In most cities it becomes necessary to threaten the good citizens by proposing to do some such hideous thing as shovelling their walks for them and charging them up with the cost. These and similar measures usually suffice to keep the side- walks in quite respectable conditions for pedes- trianism. Ann Arbor may or may not have a law. A look at the walks makes the latter assumption seem more plausible. But whether or not the city acts to make laxity in shoveling a sin, it can easily be seen that Ann Arbor citizens' sense of com- munity responsibility is just now at a remarkably low ebb.

Smith College recently passed out neat little gilt-edged "bibles" to the girls who came to pursue the higher education. The book, "What Smith Is About," contains such advice and hints as the following: Communism has never been worked out success- fully. Wear your own clothes and let others wear theirs. Remember, you came to Smith, not to Am- herst. Don't consider it necessary to diet before your visit home. Your family will be just as glad to see you if you look familiar. A student at the University of Maryland recently called up the Salvation Army. He asked: "Do you save bad girls?" "Yes, we do," was the reply. "Well, save me one for next Friday night," was the swift retort. Before girls are admitted to the annual "In- telligence Dance" at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, they must take a questionnaire for the purpose of determining if college girls are good cooks and if they are respectably well- educated. And we can just hear the cries of "Woe is me!" Ii9 i WAHR'S BOOKSTORES i are as ever at your service and during the coming year will make an even greater effort to be GENERALLY USEFUL.

EVANS '-U... The Passing Of Dr. Huber . THE UNTIMELY DEATH of Dr. G. Carl Huber, beloved scholar, teacher and admiriistrator, was a loss which will be deeply felt by both the University and the world of medical science. The noted scientist's career in the service of his University had extended over a period of nearly half a century. Repeatedly recognized for his many achieve- ments, he was an active member of a number of learned societies and had been president of the American Association of Anatomists. He was also the author of various authoritative works on the subject of histology and had been a constant contributor to numerous scientific journals. Last month Dr. Huber was honored by a group of his colleagues on the teaching staff as "the member of the University faculties who is regarded as hav- ing attained highest distinction in the field of scholarship" when he was awarded the Henry Rus- sel lectureship for 1934-35. Several weeks ago the University was presented with a bronze bust of Dr. Huber. the gift of his tree children. In addition to rendering invaluable services to Michigan as a teacher and an administrator, he had been a director of the Alumni Association of the University sincea18397 and from 1930-32swas its president. He remained as active on the campus as his physician would permit until the time of his death. Associates valued him as a true friend and advisor at all times. Those who studied under him, as well as his colleagues, knew him as a teacher of students rather than subjects. 1OR YEARS there has been sporadic criticism of student government - both as to its form and functions. Occasionally as criticism has come to a head there have been enthusiastic outbursts resulting in the establish- ment of new governments, but these in turn were too often hastily conceived and rushed into being without sufficient chance for consideration. One after another these governments have failed to gain student support and have ultimately fallen, dragging down with them into disrepute the whole idea of student government. In recent years even criticism has become feeble and disheartened, but the criticism of apathy has bcome overwhelming. with resentment, Sen. Huey P. Long prepared today to strike back at President Roosevelt on the floor of the United States Senate next week in a controversy with the White House over Louisiana dictatorial laws. Dear Huey: Just read about your spat with the President. You sure got him going. Boy, you're the Kingfish, all right, all right. You can sure tell him, Huey. But, hey, wait a minute. Huey. You know the President's a pretty popular man these days. Why, you know, Huey, the President's been send- ing quite a slug of Federal cash into Louisiana these last two years. In fact, you know, Huey, you might not be such a big man yourself if the Fed- eral cash quit coming. Ever stop to thing of that, Kingfish? Remember how you fixed things with the Pres- ident way back in 1932 at the Chicago convention? Remember you came with a bootleg delegation and you got your men in by promising to vote for Franklin Roosevelt. You knew what side your bread was buttered on then. Why not think now? All in all, Huey, it might be a good idea for you to sort of humor the President along. Of course you're the Kingfish, but you know how them big guys are. You got to play with them. Folks think quite a bit of him, and some people don't think you're so hot right now. Take a tip, Huey, and calm down. - A Pal. -The Daily Iowan.

Hitler (Mussolini) Says Germany (Italy) Must Prepare for War. Reported Sale of Cardinals Denied. Roosevelt Urges Business to Co-operate. Business Group Urges Roosevelt to End Uncer- tainty.

Lobbyists Swarm in Jefferson City. Dizzy Dean predicts (??) Victories for "Me and Paul." Beck Assails New Deal in Address. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. A CASUAL SURVEY of the flood of bills poured into the House hopper of the new Congress on opening day was enough to send shivers of alarm down conservative --and even mildly lib- eral - backbones. They appeared to justify gloomy predictions that a "wildman" Congress had come to town. Yet even before the orgy of legislative proposals, which would make New Deal actual or prospective spending to cure the depression seem niggardly. had actually been filed, House Democrats in over- whelming majoriy had doomed most of the lot, perhaps all but one, to extinction. Lacking White House backing, none of the fancy assortment of depression cure-alls, 1935 model, ever will get be- yond a committee pigeonhole. rF1HE EXCEPTION is H. R. No. 1. That is the Patman pay-the-bonus bill. It has enjoyed No. 1 status ever since 1930 in Congress after Congress. It is a bigger No. 1 in this Congress than ever. Whatever has to be done about changing House rules to tighten administration control had to be done in the light of that special status of H. R. No. 1. The first job of the Byrns-Bankhead House leadership team was to do away with the "liberal- ized" committee discharge rule rushed through by the jubilating Democrats in 1931 when they unex- pectedly seized power in the House. They did it smoothly and neatly. They did it by virtue of a gentlemen's agreement to let the bonus bill come to a vote without delay or obstructive tactics. A change requiring 218 signatures instead of 145 as a prerequisite for a move in the House itself to force any bill cut of committee interment, does not seem on its face such a significant matter. In fact, it spells all the difference between effective leadership and workable party organization in the House and virtual legislative chaos. That "lib- eralized" discharge rule of '31, so proudly hailed as a triumph for the majority rule principal of representative democracy by former Representa- tive Crisp of Georgia, its author, was the bane of the Rainey-Byrns leadership in the last House and of the White House. CRISP'S RULE, hand-polished over years of ex- pert observation of the House and its rules was a product of minority thinking. Its author could and did argue that it did not give excep- tional powers in legislation; that actual discharge of a committee to force a vote on the rule could be accomplished only by an actual majority vote of the required quorum of the House. But a minority of 145 could and frequently did in the last session force the House to vote on the I 4i' mm The Deadline For Senior Pictures k ill Be Januaryl19th Make Your Appointments Now 11 The 1935 Michiganensian I I
