NIGHT EDITOR : RALPH G. HURD graduate division that is justly famous. Mr. Em- brec, while rating Yale fifth among American universities, says, "Yale for years has had the best undergraduate college in the United States. should the University of Michigan give up a nicely balanced graduate and undergraduate po- sition, in favor of lopsided graduate scholarship? We think not. Never should we allow our scholarly position among American or foreign universities to regress, but, as we advance in educational eminence, we should not forget that undergraduates exist and thai, sentimental or not, there is something in university life besides scholarship.

Suggestion For Swingout To the Editor: May I offer a suggestion concerning prevention of unseemly conduct at Swing-out time? This morning's news item carries the statement that the Judiciary Council will recommend expulsion for anyone whose behavior imperils the future of the custom. I agree that any such person should no longer continue as a member of the student body, but I question the necessity of expulsion as the method of elimination. After all, the gravamen of his action is less an offense against the University, as such, than as it demonstrates a lack of understanding, an incooperativeness and an essential stupidity sufficient to mark him out as unfitted to share in student life and ac- tivities. He is not a "bad" man; he is simply out of place amongst young men and women interested in the color and charm of college life and appreciation of the decencies of social exist- ence.. On the other hand, such a person does not have the moral fiber and intellectual ability to be happy without social relationships. If he is dropped from the group by withdrawal of friendly associations he will not need expulsion; he will de- part. Quite probably, if he is warned in advance that he will be ostracised should he show his true weakness and spoil the charm and con- tinuance of a student affair, he will acquire a realization of the wisdom of conformity and be- have himself.. My suggestion is that The Daily might help- fully take the lead in building up such an inhibi- tion in the possible stupid show-offs of the campus. --John B. Waite. Cure- Als To the Editor: With reference to your editorial of Thursday, one question: is a "cure all" formula the sign of the scientific physician or of the quack? -Preston W. Slosson. COLLEGIATE OBSERVER By BUD BERNARD The prominence given to Huey Long be- cause of his filibuster in Congress recently has brought to light a little story concerning that worthy. It was during an election in Louisiana, and the Kingfish not having the re- turns from one county, phoned one of the ballot counters, a henchman of his, to ascer- tain the way the wind was blowing. "How many votes have I got?" asked Huey *over the wire. "Just finished counting," came the reply, "and you have 15,384 votes." "And my oppoent," was the the next query. "How about him." "Your oppon--." There was a moment of confused silence. Then the counter's voice, a tremor of fear accentuating it, regained its power. "My God! Your opponent! We for- got all about him. Does he have to have some vote~s too?" Students at Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh have employed a new twist in chess playing. Intercol- legiate matches are played via the mail. Already four other colleges are involved in this recently expensive pastime, but since November only five moves have been made. * * * * Advertise your Art. Everyone is having his theses typed now.

A co-ed - A nickel. in by L.O.P., '37: A freshman at the University of California was summoned to the offices of the dean of men. For hours he fussed and fumed before he finally got up enough courage to enter 4he reception room and approach the stenographer. Here is what the Ohio State Lantern says about war. "A war more deadly and terrifying than the last is a present possibility; and our young men are frightened. Not that they would admit it -heaven forbid. Born in the genera- tion that popularizes 'guts,' our young men can be nothing but 'game.' Nevertheless, our young men are frightened, terribly frightened. War has lost all its glamor. War for the young men of today is pain, suffering and slaughter; while only a generation ago it was: the Country, the Flag, Heroism, Honor." A Washington BYSTANDER MMM.. Eminence And The University. .. ((TN ORDER of Their Eminence," by .1 Edwin R. Embree,- president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, published in the current issue of the Atlantic Monthly, rates the University of Michigan sixth among all American universities. Universities were ranked in the following order: Harvard, Chicago, Columbia, California, Yale, MichigandCornell, Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Wis- consin and Minnesota.' There should be no dissatisfaction with this rat-' ing -California is the only other state university given preeminence over Michigan - but it is in- teresting to study the criteria of the judgment and to find just where our University falls short. The findings are based on several factors, the two most important being the number of dis- tinguished departments in each university as given by the American Council on Education, and the number of scientists at each university starred for distinction in the 1932 edition of American Men 6f Science. These figures show that Michigan has 14 distinguished departments and 29 distinguished scientists, as compared with 22 distinguished de- partments and 78 distinguished scientists for the country's leading university, Harvard. At first glance it might seem that there is a di- rect correlation between a university's preeminence and its income, but this is not positive. The Uni- versity of Chicago's endowment is less than half that of. Harvard and well below that of several other universities which she outranks. Quoting Mr. Embree, "Chicago's distinction is in the fact that frcm the first she went out with a single purpose, not to create a fashionable college or an enormous conglomerate institution, but to build a university in the real meaning of the term: a collection of the finest scientists and scholars, working with a selected group of mature students for the advancement of knowledge." The fields of learning at Michigan that failed to be termed distinguished are anthropology, bio- chemistry, engineering, geology, German, mathe- matics, physiology, psychology, romance languages and sociology. Since it is too late to apply Chicago's formula of direct planning for eminence the other alternative for remedying this situation -if the situation should be remedied -is to attract more distinguished men to these departments That .re- quires money, and a state university is, of necessity, limited in the funds at its command. The question now arises if Michigan should de- inaarapivqp+.nito nraise her scolarly eminence. As Others See It 1 Conning The Campus (From the Michigan Alumnus) ANOTHER GREAT Michigan tradition has fallen in ruins! Whatever is the new generation coming to ! With its customary disrespect of all that is holy to "us ancient Michigan alumni," The Michigan Daily devoted about six lines on the women's page (!) to the story of this major disaster. And The Daily prides itself on its belief in the sanctity of traditions! At that, the yarn probably belonged just where it was placed. But let's get to the gory details of this tragedy which has come to Michigan. In the days of yore, so the Ann Arbor legend goes, the Laws were men of might and brawn -and the Engineers claimed for themselvesrsimilar attributes. Neither entertained the slightest respect for the other. Re- sult - the Diagonal was not long enough, though it ran the whole extent of the Campus, to prevent frequent and copious spillings of blood as the two mighty hosts sought to persuade one another of their respective supremacy. Athletic contests were tried, but the playing ground was but the site of the preliminary skirmishes - the real battle ground, in which all could compete, extended right up State Street from Ferry Field and spilled all over the Campus. The Engineering Arch became a monument to the .valor of the great'warriors of that clan. No law could pass under its sacred portals if an Engineer was there to protest. And the Engineers were generally there. Alas, the picture has changed? Of late the an- cient feud has not been measured in buckets of blood, but just the same the oldtimers have be- lieved that were the spark applied all would be well, and beautiful and sanguinary explosions would result. They were wrong. The truth must be told and here it is - The Laws and the "co- eds' playing a hockey game on Palmer Field last Saturday afternoon, and tea was served. at the conclusion of the match! Shades of Germany Schultz and Willie Heston! To sooth the shattered nerves of the Laws of those other days, however, some consolation can be offered. Those eleven great, strong hockey players were Michigan Laws, to be sure, but be- fore detraining at Ann Arbor they had been sub- jected to insidious influences. Three of them were Yale men, two were Princeton graduates, one a Dartmouth alumnus and another a Colgate prod- uct. There was also a Dennison man in the outfit. There may be some excuse for them, but not for the two Michigan A.B.'s -and the Notre Dame man. Wait until Knute Rockne gets hold of that lad! By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, May 24. [HERE is suspicion in the minds of some Sen- ate liberals that what lay behind the sudden Senate move to shelve the whole NRA problem until next session by extending the act until April instead of for the two years asked by the White House, was a desire to sidetrack the Wagner labor disputes bill. Senator Ship- stead voiced it in debate. "What I fear," he told Wag- ner, "is that we shall con- tinue NRA and the labor dis- putes bill will be defeated. I wanted the senator to offer it as an amendment to this 304 -RIK SAIP5LAP (NRA extension) resolution. E K E NRA is a monstrosity without the other." 2 Befoyre Commncement $14 Thereafter...!

For SnorOny$ Order at ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OFFICES ALUMNI MEMORIAL HALL Nevertheless, on the show down, Senator La- Follette was unable to musterenough hands to get even a roll call on the resolution. That was what the Democratic leadership, piloted by Harrison of Mississippi, sought. It was certain to prove a powerful support to his directly stated warning to the House that any material change in the resolution by that body would be almost certain to lead to the expiration of the recovery act in toto on June 16th next. Harrison pledged himself to bring back to the Senate for full debate, not merely in the privileged status of a conference report, any major change in the NRA program proposed by the House. That would include an effort there to tack on the labor disputes bill. LA FOLLETTE contended that putting off a de- cision as to the future of NRA until a presi- dential year session of Congress meant slow death to the act. "If this resolution becomes a law, the national industrial recovery act will be as dead as a door- nail," he said. "If it shall be considered again at all, it will be on the eve of a presidential campaign. I have never seen a session on the eve of a presidential campaign enact constructive legislation." Clark of Missouri, sponsor of the extension res- clution, challenged that. It seemed a bit odd to hear these two younger senators exchanging recollections of 30 years or more of first hand ob- servation of Congress. As sons and political lieu- tenants of legislator fathers, however, they share that unusual background for Senate service. JT IS A POINT President Roosevelt must con- sider in any such trimming of his legislative pro- gram for this session as the Senate's move ,on NRA suggests. Any of the highly controversial "New Deal" reform measures now pending which are dumped until next session face that very great likelihood of intensified opposition next year. The impending presidential election will offer oppo- nents too good an opportunity to demand a sort of nnniihr rjear, n m tn h norlnnked. Relig",iousA ctivities FIRST METHODIST ST.
