We want to know who is behind the n: ovment? Exactly what, in simple English, do' he petitions ask for? And then, do we favor joining the League? Will joining mean that each recmote controversy wil involve us, perhaps, in The answers. The League of Nations Association, circulators of the petitions, has for many years labored to bring the United States into the League. It has behind it respected public citizens (Nicholas Mur- ray Butler, Newton D. Baker, George W. Wicker- sham, and from Michigan the late G. Carl Huber and Charles McKenny.) It was the thought of the Association to bring upon the national administra- tion the pressure of public opinion through these petitions. The Association itself favors joining the League unconditionally; but too many American citizens, fearing this would mean marching off to fight South American border disturbance, have held back, and so the Association decided to word the petitions very conservatively in order to show a large number of signatures. The demands would not be large, but would at least represent public interest. And so the petition was worded to ask two things: first, that the government state upon what conditions it would consider joining the League - that is, conditions that would lend our prestige to the League's peace efforts, and yet guar- antee us immunity from being involved in purely foreign disputes; secondly, that an official diplo- matic representative be sent to participate in the League deliberations. This is not, as some have suggested, tantamount to joining. The -United States has frequently in the past years partici- pated through our ambassadors to France and Switzerland, and through Norman H. Davis, am- bassador-at-large. This representative would mere- ly eliminate the indirectness of the contact between our diplomatic office and such deliberations. The requests are mild. They answer the objec- tions of conservative citizens. They will indicate positive public interest to the Congress wio will soon consider the matter of our joining the World Court, which movement, if the Senate does not balk administration guidance, seems destined to pass. It is not our desire here to discuss the merits or disadvantages that might accrue from joining the League. We urge that your signature be appended to the petition, or withheld, after due considera- tion of the issue, rather than as a consequence of apathetic indifference. As Others See It Exchange Of Professors N ANONYMOUS WRITER in the Yale News suggests that universities adopt a system of exchanging professors for the mutual benefit of students and learning. This writer - who is evi- dently a teacher himself - points out that college departments become inbred with stale beliefs in their particular field of activity. And this accept- ance of the dogma as laid down by the head of the various departments causes faculty members to work less at new solutions of old problems. They become sterile, satisfied, and that satisfied atti- tude is passed on to students. Satisfaction, though, is fatal for progress In evolving new ideas. Sterile teaching cliques would be dispersed by exchanging professors. The writer says, "The pro- fessors would be thrown into hostile territory." In order to defend his beliefs the teacher would be spurred into some active thinking when he enters a school where there is another clique with totally different beliefs. Students would be more stimulated by these academic wars. But the best influence would be upon the faculty. Then, says the- Yale witer, "It might be no longer possible as it is today to find teachers of economics who had never heard the names Wicksteed or Walras; under-consumptionists on the faculty might be stirred a little from their smug stupidity; sociologists could no longer ignore Pareto because they were steeped in Sumnerian dogma; last but far from ,least, English teachers could not longer cover with descriptive pyro- technics their ignorance of the critical approach." And here at Pennsylvania we'd like to see some differing opinion in the Wharton School on mone- tary policies, and the psychology department have an exchange professor who could air his faith in the Gestalt theory and Freud's theories. But it's not our purpose to make a list. We merely wish to suggest the plan of exchanging professors for in- tellectual stimulation and show the need of it. There is a need, and we should have it filled. -The Daily Pennsylvanian. Worthwhile Class Politics THE SENIOR CLASS administration, by its sin- cerity of purpose in plunging into the work confronting it shows that there is "something con- structive" to be done. It has long been the com- plaint that "all the classes do is to hold an an- nual dance" and by the action of the seniors this is definitely repudiated. There is valuable work awaiting class officers. All that is necessary is that the class take an active interest in the problems of the university. The ad- ministration of each class can win itself recog- nition for the excellence of its social functions or for the sincerity of its spirit in attacking matters such as the public relations question, the owner- ship of the Co-Op, and the needs of the financially indigent student. There is, for example, no reason why the junior class directorate should not offer to assist the seniors in the ambitious "selling the university to the state" program of the latter~. It is all a matter of individual class officers. In this observation lies the answer to those critics of class politics who excuse their lack of interest in student elections by saying that they are meaningless Of course. most class officers are COL LEGIATE OBSERVER II:._ By BUD BERNARD Here's a good squib coming from R.H.C.: 13 BAD LUCK LINES No date.

The coach of the Yale fencing team recently objected to the marriage of his daughter to a New Haven student on the grounds that the would-be husband didn't know how to juggle the foils. TheI dueling demon claimed that his sons were all fenc- ing champions, his wife was a master of that art, his daughters were all outstanding in their respec- tive colleges, his grandson was a leading contender for honors, and so were "his sisters, his cousins and his aunts." We've heard of many shotgun weddings, but when an old man is so old-fashioned that a sword is involved, we draw the line. * * * * This article below appeared in the Daily Illini and is claimed to be true.

"A love affair," he declares, "is a powerful means of rescuing the neurasthenic and sufferers from the diseases of egoism." It seems as though a certain geography pro- fessor at the University of Oregon found occa- sion to ask his pupils the following question: "What is Mesopotamia noted for?" "That's where we get our best dates," .W the ready response of some intellectual. "Maybe that's where you get yours, but that doesn't hold for the rest of us," shot back the alert professor with a lofty glance. * * * If Michigan recognizes the Little Brown Jug, when we get it back, it will not be the fault of a University of Minnesota sign painter. The battered symbol of football supremacy is divided into halves, and the sign painter is working on the Minnesota half. Half of the neck and handle, formerly Mich- igan colors are now being painted maroon. The Minnesota half of the face also done in maize and blue, is being done over in bright maroon. The "M," formerly the Michigan block "M" is being changed and finished in gold leaf. The painter is not going to touch the Michigan side of the jug. "Let Michigan take care of its own share of the jug," he said. The CONTINENTAL DINING.

TUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY will this week be asked to co-oper- ate with those of 150 other colleges throughout the country in stating sincerely their attitudes toward war and toward various peace efforts. The nation-wide poll, which is probably the larg- est survey in scope yet conducted on this subject, is being sponsored by the Association of College Editors in conjunction with the Literary Digest. The magazine is sending out ballots to every col- lege student by mail and will collect and tab- ulate the totals, releasing them for ;publication in college newspapers. The questions, made as comprehensive and yet as concise as possible for the purpose of crystal- lizing opinion are not in every case easily answered by a "Yes" or "No" vote, but they must be so answered to give the poll a statistical value. The complete ballot is as follows: 1. Do you believe that the United States could stay out of another great war? (a) If the borders of the United States were invaded would you bear arms in defense of your coun- try? (b) Would you bear arms for the United States in the invasion of the borders of another country? 2. Do you oelieve that a national policy of, "an American navy and air force second to none" is a sound method of insuring us against being drawn into another great war? 3. Do you advocate government control of armament and munition industries? 4. In alignment with our historic procedure in drafting man-power in time of war, would you advocate conscription of all resources of capital and labor in order to control all profits in time of war? 5. Should the United States enter the League of Nations? Of course the value of the poll will depend di- rectly on the conscientiousness with which stu- dents respond to the ballot. It is of vast import- ance to the movement of peace that an accurate idea of the opinion of college students, a group in a position to understand and feel deeply about these questions, should be gained.

T HE SOL BLOOM family of New York is one of the capital's constant sources of good stories. Representative Bloom, himself a wit, has a diffi- cult time staying ahead of his wife and his daugh- ter, Vera. Just now Vera ranks high because of a recent interview with Mussolini. She asked Il Duce for an autographed photo- graph which he gave her. Then she asked for an- other. "But you already have one," protested Mus- solini. "I know I have one," said Miss Bloom, "but so have a lot of other people." Mussolini grinned and signed the second picture. Rush D. Holt, elected senator from West Virginia, has been running into difficulties because of his mere 29 years. As a senator-elect, he had the privilege of riding the senators' private elevator at the capitol. They are summoned by three rings. Holt rang three times the other day and then gasped at the irate elevator operator who gave him a word-lashing for presuming to ride in the sacred lift. But Holt rode with a red-faced operator after the necessary explanations. "Ruthven," the home of Attorney-General j Cummings, is famous for the collection of I autog aphed pictures of Washingtonians which he and his wife ("Colonel Pixie" to him) have gathered. Mrs. Cummings claims "jurisdiction" over the pictures. "You see, I own the Supreme Court, two presidents and one first lady," she says.
