O'CONNELL The Use Of +Chiseing' .. /' +HISELING is not an agreeable word. 4The Daily's use of the word "chis- elers" in connection with students occupying FERA positions without being entitled to them, has brought forth several comments. One correspondent, a professor in the University, suggests that his contact with Michigan students over a period of many years has convinced himn that few students are so energetic that they would care to work unless their circumstances really required'it. Therefore, he adds, since these students are more or less in a condition of need, it is hardly fair to call them "chiseers." It may be true that Michigan students who are receiving Federal aid are not wealthy undergrad- uates who are working for the enjoyment, or for the supposedly heroic halo ,that is. attached to those who assist in supporting themselves. Never- theless, it has come to the attention of FERA officials that a number of applicants who are at present holding jobs, were awarded t.hem on the basis of applications that. were palpably false, in that they tended to exaggerate the financial con- dition of the student. While under ordinary circumstances, The Daily would agree that students who find it necessary to work, and are willing to work, should be per- mitted to gain employment if the occasion pre- sents itself. Under present conditions, however, when a discouraging number of students are being forced to leave school because they are not able to get Federal aid that is being taken by someone who does not absolutely require it, we can find no other word for these falsifiers than "chiselers." It is required of applicants that they state over their signature that without such aid, they would be forced to leave school. Anyone who consciously exaggerates his position for the sake of gaining an easy way to earn pocket moneys as some have been learned to have done, and who by his action forces a really needy student to leave the Uni- versity, can be nothing but a "chiseler." It was noted at the time of the institution of the FERA last year, that some students holding Not Without Honor ... r HAT OLD SAW about looking in your own back yard for the Holy Grail.r whatever it was, may be fully appreciated some day. The University has for years followed a policy of drawing on men in its own service when there were openings for promotions or appointments to new positions. Leaving new blood to find its way in at the bottom of the system, the administration recognized and rewarded ability and endeavor by the bestowing of further honors and responsibil- ities. Last year it was realized that various depart- ments were going to considerable expense to bring in outside speakers who were nomore authorita- tive in their fields than any nuniber of men on their own staffs. This year, for the secon time, the University lecture series will be given by Michigan men. Official Washington has called a good many faculty members from the University to sit in on consultations of all sorts. A half dozen men have already been drafted to full-time positions in the government since the semester opened. The Alumnus Quarterly now abounds with scholarly articles by faculty authorities. To the overworked student who suffers through too many two o'clock sessions, the lecturer is no hero. He may be a good, indifferent, or unbearable lecturer. He may be a good sport or just an absent- minded college professor outside the class. He's never a hero. Few of us stop to think how many men we have listened to (or slept through) who are not without honor as prophets outside their own small commu- nity.

Art, Not Jingoism To the Editor: Now that fall is here, and school has started . . readers may expect periodical outbursts of indig- nation . . . such as was witnessed in last Sun- day's issue of The Daily in reference to the show that was on last week at the Mendelssohn, "No Greater Glory." There are, of course, the usual charges, like "The film is one of a series of propaganda pictures created for the express purpose of selling the American people on war," "Backed by munition makers and other large financial interests-," with nothing at all to substntiate them. But freshmen and other new students will get used to this sort of stuff ... Among the absolutely false claims made by the League Against War and Militarism is the one which states that "Even some commercial distribu- tors refuse to lend themselves to the plan of the wealthy war-makers who would slaughter millions to make a few (?) dollars." One of the local papers stated that the reason that the other local dealers did not take the picture was because there were so few well-known actors and they doubted if they could interest the public in that type of a film ... I am not going to take space to expose any more obviously false accusations. But I would like to say that I am against any small, lunatic minor- ity trying to become censors of films and shows that the whole campus might be interested in. This nefarious organization closes by saying, "We, who are among the hundreds of liberal-minded students who helped establish the Art Cinema League, unite with liberals, pacifists, and anti-fascists on the campus and in Ann Arbor to demand of the Art Cinema League assurance that films of this char- acter will not appear on its program." Of course, the League Against War is a pacifist organization, so it might be that they are qualified to speak for this group. However, I consider myself as belonging to the other two groups -liberals and anti-fascists-and I not only would not ask the league to censor films for me, but I would feel it an insult to my intelligence to have an organi- zation representing different, though vaguely sim- ilar interests, prevent certain shows from coming here. Even pacifists should be broaid-minded enough to lookat the other side. However, I think many persons wll agree with me when I say that I could see very little "propaganda" for an "uncivi- lized orgy of mass butchery" or that it was "a very clever bit of jingoistic, militaristic propaganda, all the more dangerous because of the insidious cloak of fake fascism that has been spread over it," Only a few crack-pot radicals could figure out such stuff from a show, which despite this no- torious league, was, and by more of a stretch of the imagination, is artistic ... --C.A.C. Preshman Round Table Tosthe Editor: What has happened to the Freshman Round Table? Last year it afforded an adequate opportunity for students of all sects, religious and non-relig- ious, to meet and discuss questions in which they were interested. So far this year, however, nothing has been mentioned of it. Why cannot this group be reorganized? Should not the religious center on the campus promote this activity? -An Interested Sophomore. II A i. of at least $1,000 to ensure completion of the first year without-undue hardship." "While more students than ever before are work- " ing their way through college. those going for the first time should be prepared to meet the major part of their expenses," he urges. "A thousand dol- lars gives the student time to become acclimated to the college atmosphere and protects him from the, disappointment which would result from fail- ure to pay his way." We wonder how many freshmen at California have $1,000 "to ensure completion of the first year without undue hardship." We suspect not many are that fortunate. Tue Daily Californian. COLLEGIATE By BUD BERNARD A student at the University of Indiana was in a chemistry lab and the professor was explaining certain reactions to him: "This liquid turns blue if the unkown is basic, and it turns red if the unknown is acid," "Sorry, but I'm color blind," apologized the brain trust. Have you got anything with a bell on it." We believe this to be the best scene of the week. An eminent senior at the University of Wisconsin was seen dr unk recently hanging on a lamp post lustily singing, "Hold Me." . Here are some mythical interviews staged by the Boston University News: Question: What are your observations upon the opening of school? Hugh Johnson (late of NRA): "Once schools are open we'll crack down with a code for professors, then the intellectual Neanderthals among 'em will find themselves sitting on a keg of TNT and only Ph,'s will be allowed to sport goatees." Robert L. Ripley: "Believe it or not, but Einstein flunked math, every Deke wears exactly the same size necktie--for that matter the same necktie, and the Boston University's enrollment will include some 12,000 souls and a few heels." This is the inscription on a bulletin board outside a church on the Northwestern Uni- versity campus: "DO YOU KNOW WHAT HELL IS?" Underneath was printed in smaller char- acters "Come and hear our organist."

LUXURIOUS Fur Trims: MARM INK CARACU L WOLF MARTEN By KIRKE SIMPSON A PERSIAN poet-philosopher of world-wide fame once remarked on the advisability of taking the cash and letting the credit go. It was a very practical suggestion. Yet if the pricked-up ears of Washington on- lookers at the game of debt settlement between Washington and Moscow catch it aright, Ambas- sador Troyanovsky is homeward bound to report that Omar Khayyam was wrong: the thing to do is take the credit and let the cash go. Exactly why the Russians should have conceived it possible, in the fretted state of political if not popular opinion in the United States over the war debt issue, to wrangle a nice big cash loan out of Uncle Sam as an incident of debt settlement, does not appear at first glance. What does appear is that the original proposal was for a $200,000,000 loan and later, as a "great concession," was re- vamped to half cash, half credit. As an American student of home political mat- ters could have advised Moscow off-hand, that looked no better to the State Department than in the original form. Credits, opening up a flow of business with Russia, are all right; cash loans are politically all wrong. Any such suggestion would stir Congress to the boiling point next winter, re- gardless of the elections outcome. CONGRESSIONAL candidates of both parties arc waving the flag vigorously over the war debt matter. It is a perfectly safe thing to get excited about. No flarebacks are likely to result, as might from tactless handling of various asnects of the "New Is C ROSS FOX FITCH FRENCH BEAVER SQU I RREL This is the most sen- sational purchase of Coats we've made in 20 years COME EARLY!
