_ _ _ _THE MICHIGAN DAILY Another Blow For Joe College .. . E VERY ONCE IN AWHILE it be- comes someone's pleasant task to re-inter Joe College. So gratifying is the job that it usually seems well to make occasion for it if none offers itself. The latest opportunity for celebration is the announcement by Dr. Walter A. Jessup, in his first report of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advance- ment of Teaching, that the "rah-rah"boy who went to college to enjoy life is disappearing. Dr. Jessup says the college man of today "is no longer the blase, sophisticated student of the '20s; he is a hard-working, serious-minded person who demands more of the college library, the labora- tory and the instructor than did his brother of a decade ago." In the long run, Dr. Jessup declares, the struggle for survival among the 800 institutions of higher learning in the United States will be determined by their relative success in maintaining themselves as seats of learning for students and staff. While we are busy congratulating ourselves on our superiority over our predecessors of 10 years ago, it is always wise, however, to stop and check occasionally against the example we so freely de- plore. Siam now has an orthographic New Deal: King Prajadhipok, Supreme Arbiter of the Ebb and Flow of the Tides, has abdicated in favor of Prince Ananda. Huey Long, according to his own life story, has been elected, impeached or indicted annually since 1928. What's up this year, Huey? As Others See It Vassar Goes To Town WHEN A MARCH of 100 girls from Vassar and Skidmore College girls to Albany to protest the Nunan Act, requiring all college students to take an oath of allegiance to the United States, drew.editorial fire from Hearst papers throughout the country, the college girls countered with an "extra" of the "Hearsed Miscellany News" This excerpt from the editorial, "Keep Our Women Wholesome," goes to the tune of "America, the Beautiful." Oh beautiful for motherhood and faith in' Randolph Hearsed, We'll spill our blood for country's good; let Communists be cursed. Oh Vassar, Heil! Oh Vassar, Heil! Preserve the status quo. Oh Constitution Glorious, you light the way we go.- Oh beautiful for battleships, for purity and peace,. While blood in other countries drip, our tariffs will increase. Heil, Vassar, Oh, Heil, Vassar, Oh, we swear our loyalty, Ours not to reason why, but died for Country, Hearsed and thee. An announcement says that a scholarship fund has been established to provide free tuition for the girl who discovers the most radicals. There are approximately 1,500,000 living college graduates in the-United States, accprdfng to one estimate That certainly leaves the' poor football coaches greatly outnumbered. According to a recent estimate, there are 3,400 skis in Hanover, N.H., home of Datmouth College. Shucks, boys, HanItramek, ha that record beaten easily! __ I' COL LEGIATE OBSERVER -- - :. .. By BUD BERNARD Here's an actual letter received by a frater- nity man at Cornell University from a week- end party date: "Dear Joe: Thanks awfully for the grand week-end. I think your room-mate is really smooth and he is coming back to see me next week-end, so please send my black purse back with him. Your frat house was very cute even if we did not have much room to dress and the beds were none too comfortable. However, I did not have too much time to sleep anyway so that it really did not matter really. I enjoyed knowing all the brothers but I am surprised that your friends are not good dancers. I suppose that you have to study too hard up there to learn to dance well. I have to laugh every time I think of the way you fell down- stairs and cut your head, but when you ran into the door it was too perfect for words. All in all it was a great week-end and I hope you can arrange another party soon. When you can, write to me for I certainly enjoyed the last one. Love, Mar P. S.: I am awfully sorry that y lost your coat and wrecked your car, but accidents will happen. Anyway I know that you thought the week-end was worth it." There is a co-ed at the University of Denver whose hobby is the collections of buttons. She has over 500, and that includes one from Lily Pons and one from Sally Rand. Don't we all wonder from where Sally removed that button? At Ohio University one of the sociology professors asked his class to give five reasons for marriage. Boomed a voice from the rear of the room, "A shot gun." Three other reasons were given, but the class sat silent, stumped for the fifth, Queried the professor, "All right, what's the fifth?" There was no answer. Exasperated, the professor asked quietly, "Hasn't anyone ever heard of love?" The Chi Omegas have evolved a device for dis- couraging midnight serenaders. A hole of sufficient dimensions was dug on their lawn in a convenient spot with startling results. It is not kown whether the trap was conceived to ward off sour notes or to retain the crooners for longer musicales. Three professors were lunching at the Uni- versity of Maryland on registration day. "What kind of students are these," bewailed one. "They come in and ask me: 'What's a good course to take Monday at 10-any course as long as it's at that hour.' That's a pretty sad comnmentary." "That's nothing," replied the second, "When I was teaching at Dartmouth, I had an advisee who bragged about never taking a course later tan eleven o'clock." To which the third added: "Nothing at all. When I taught at N.Y.U., in a nine story building-, I had a student come up and ask me for a good course between the first and third floors." The University of Washington went to all the trouble and expense of installing a new burglar alarm in the locker room at the field house to catch a sneak thief, and then some dumbhead reporter wrote a front page feature in the college paper describing the way the thing works so completely that there is no possible excuse for the thief to walk through thet tell-tale infra-red ray.

But all of these superficial manifestations of death may be present in a very vital organism. The permanence of NRA rests, in the last analy- sis, upon its necessity. Its vitality is as persistent as the problem of government relationship to in- dustry, which it was designed to meet. While that problem lives, the NR A idea. canont die. Until we have solved it, we must look forward to working, in one application dr another, with the ideas behind NRA. If government should not intervene somehow, and somewhere to further the great social values that have always marked government's justifi- sation andpurpose, modern competition would re- vert to a'dog-eat-dog process. Monopolies would grow until the only competition we should have would be between monopolie themselves. 'This war of lumbering giants would end with fearful losses. NRA is the actually existing machinery by which we are trying to work out a method of averting the self-destructive tendencies of "an unrestrained capitalism. If we believe, as I do, that, some kind of machinery like this must exist, unles we can find some substitute that is affirmatively better, there is no alternative but to keep our present machin- ery in existence. It sliould be remembered always that NRA was not created as a permanent solution of a govern- mental problem. It was set up merely as one of many emergency devices created to stop the on- rush of deflation and to give a measure oftempo- rarv stability to the industrial system. while, at come from NRA? These are abolition of child labor, abolition of uneconomic and unsocial competition in the reduction of wages in the lower brackets, the beginnings of a system of collective bargaining based upon some sort of semi-judicial process and the beginnings of a system of industrial law de- signed to reduce commercial corruption and anti- social competition within industry. In addition to these permanent gains, there is the indubitable fact that NRA has put some,4,000,000 persons back toE work. These benfeits are generally conceded. On the other hand, there can be little argument as to the things NRA has failed to do. It has failed in one of its chief emergency tasks - raising the income of the individual workers -largely because of a rise in the cost of living and the spread ofI actual available work to mere people.f NRA has taught us that, in some fields at least, there are definite limitations upon what the Fed- eral government can do. One such limitation arises in connection with the regulation of service trades. The many conflicts and overlappings in the codes are shortcomings generally recognized. These, together with the sheer number of regulations em-I bodied in the codes, have definitely slowed up bus- iness. The uncertainty and caution which they have instilled in business men have been a deflationary influence.
