The fact that a very large portion of the student body is working its way unquestionably establishes that many, at least, are interested enough in getting an education to make all the sacrifices involved in earning their own way. In regard to Michigan in particular, the fact that 53 per cent of the entire student body is at least partially self-supporting shows that Mich- igan is no "Harvard of the West" in this respect. A University of Wisconsin political science pro- fessor has been appointed a special advisor to Emperor Selassie of Ethiopia. Mussolini should hastento counteract this by creating another cab- inet post for himself. A former professor of fencing at the University of Minnesota is trying to revive interest in his art in New Orleans.

Revolutionary Right To the Editor: Required reading for William Randolph ($80,- 000,000-a-year) Hearst and his cohorts: "This Country, with its institutions, Belongs to the People who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or Their Revolutionary Right to Dismember or Overthrow it." This scanjdalously subversive doctrine - this Bolshevistic political tenet - this fragment of criminal syndicalism- was advanced by - America's Abraham Lincoln. -U.S. Radical. 'Back TO Fundamentals' To the Editor: The Communist scare in the universities with its attendant investigations and proposed investiga- tions is reminiscent of a similar scare a few years ago in certain orthodox churches. For years the missionary societies had been sending their cast- off barrels and puny pennies to their paid repre- sentatives among the heathen across the seas. Dis- tance lent charm to the activities of these emis- saries until some snooping traveller discovered that instead of teaching denominationalism ornament- ed with the blood of the crucified Christ, these un- grateful and harebrained apostles were neglecting the fundamentals of baptismal ritual and many of the churchly constitutionalities. Immediately the ignorant populace among the missionary-supporting laity, was aroused with the cry of "Investigate! Clean up our mission fields! Recall the unorthodox! Back to fundamentals! The heathen are being imposed upon! Let us protect the heathen!" At a great expense and much unnecessary trouble, properly endorsed men were sent around the world to find out what the missionaries were doing. That no one was recalled following the investigation proved to the disgruntled and be- wildered citizenry of the church that their under- paid apostles were doing .their best under cir- cumstances which no one except teachers and hea- then can possibly understand. If our "boys and girls" may be likened to the "heathen" of the foreign, mythical islands and "inland jungles, may we not wish for them but one thing-not that they may be given the "right" ideas but that they be awakened to think for them-, selves? -Free Thinker. l It was pretty late last Satjrday night, or perhaps I should say early Sunday morning, when a group of ralher nuoc:t Aows Con- gregated in front of the D.U.

No sooner had he stepped out of the door t!n ne of t e crowd yelled at him: "Hey, you, ish ft's the D.U. tose" The brother replied that it was. "Well do you know Jack Srnith?" "Yes, he's my roommate. What about it?" "Well, will you pleash come here and pick him out? The rest of ush want to go home." This story originating from the campus of the University of Colorado runs as follows: Chi Psi fraternity was awarded $30 damages by a student jumy of law school students. The de- fendants were three members of Chi Omega soror- iy- The Chi Psi charged the co-eds c dt6,.own a tree f hei'front .xrd to wn a et of a li.e numbcr of cokes.

Down at the University of Oklahoma the other day, a load arrogant freshman crowded into the front line of the registrar's office and blustered out. "I wanna enroll." "You can't enroll here," he was told. "Then where can I go?' he demanded. The 25 fellows whom he had butted in on then told him. ADD EXAM QUESTION BONERS - In a his- tory class at Illinois the professor asked his class to define A.U.C. (which means translated from the Roman, "from the founding of the city") and he got from one prodigy: A stands for apple that man loves in a pie. U stands for unicorn and by a lion did die C stands for care -- from the apple 'twas left. 0 stands for the grade the question will get. A fraternity at Ohio State University was complaining about the water in the house main, which they claimed was unsafe for drinking. The other day one of the members was asked. what precaution they take. He answered, "first we filter it." "Then, what?" the other asked. "Then we boil it and add chemicals." "Yes." "And then, we drink beer."

Regardless of how much "power" is given the council, if its members and the stu- dents at large are not sufficiently interested to make it an important body, it will not be one. The trouble with a great many critics of student government, including those who deprecatingly remark that there is no such thing as real student government, is that they expect the Board of Re- gents and University officials to give them powers and functions which have been exercised by the University before the council has proved that it is competent to handle them. There have been several changes of student councils during the past few years. Each time a new constitution has been adopted there have been pleas for more power until there is in the proposed constitution an almost blanket provision of power for the new body. The whole idea in drafting this constitution was to increase the power and the democratic bacliground of this body, but on paper it appears not very distinct from other plans which have been submitted. The reason, basically, is that no coun- cil is better than its membership, and its mem- bership is no more active than the students want it to be. The present council undoubtedly did not go out looking for things to do, but it acted capably with- in its own sphere. If the new council or any new council is to be a success, the students must know what they want accomplished and then must in- sist upon action by the council on these matters.. As Others See it Let's All Have Tea IT IS UNFORTUNATE that Harvard and Ox- ford are having difficulties finding a debating subject other than the two already suggested. One of these is trivial; the other non-debatable before an American or British audience. Neither question commands great public interest. The subject: "Re- solved: That This House Favors a Government Censorship of News.", is not debatable for either Americans or Englishmen. The First Amendment to our Constitution provides: "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom. . . of the press." Popular opinion in both nations is overwhelmingly in favor of the negative on the censorship resolu- tion. It is significant that this is the side of theJ question each team wishes to uphold. To break the impasse caused by the worthless- ness of this question, Oxford has proposed the resolution: "That the First Function of a Biog- rapher is to Reveal Feet of Clay." Is this bit of dilettantism the best topic two liberal universities can find to discuss before an international audi- ence? Are Harvard and Oxford so secluded from the so steeped in the academic cloister, that they can find no more fundamental problem to argue? Such a trivality may serve for a literary tea, but so important an event as the Harvard-Oxford debate merits a more vital subject. Harvard and Oxford hold a significant position in both Amer- ica and Great Britain. Their common spirit of friendly inquiry and intelligent criticism should find play in such a contest. ' The Harvard Debiting Council has refused to discuss over a transatlantic network a subject suitable only for a minor English A theme. Since both teams desire the same side of the censorship question, it remains to suggest a better theme. "Re- solved: That the United States and Great Britain Li By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 AS AN EXAMPLE of things political being far from what they seem, the Senate vote on the McCarran amendment demanding that the gov- ernment pay wages prevailing locally for work relief projects, is illuminating. Attempting an analysis of the strangely mixed motives behind individual votes which made up that 44-to-43 admin- istration defeat is like trying___ to unscramble eggs. In that r fact lies the chief hope of ad- ministration leaders that in the end the White House will p have its way about the details of the program. The weakness of the position of the McCar- ranites, most of whom are ar- dently in favor of an even more . ENRIK SMIPSTEAR gigantic work relief program, is that they won that tilt by grace of the votes of an indefinite number of senators whose object was to kill, not to nourish, the resolution. THERE is no other way of accounting for the strange spectacle of apparent Republican unanimity for the McCarran amendment. For the first time in years the East-West party split failed to show itself. A dozen Repub- lican liberals and almost as many die-hard regulars voted together. Even those twin one- Gcio.oxle ummalm a O'D AY Subscripti s For the Remainder- School Year 0 No Rich Man's School ... F REQUENT INSINUATIONS to the F affect that the University of Mich- igan is, or is becoming, a rich man's school are pretty effectively refuted by statistics recently released from the office of the Registrar which show that nearly 53 per cent of the student body earn either all or part of their way through college. Eliminating women students, the percentage of men alone who are wholly or partially self-sup- porting is even more significant. The statistics reveal that slightly more than 61 per cent of the men fall under this classification. Nearly 30 per cent of the campus women are working at least part of their way. The figures of the Registrar's office also disclose man minorities who sit with the Republicans, LaFollette of Wisconsin, Progressive, and Shipstead of Minnesota. Farmer-Labor, went along, " ': That would look like a Re- ! publican get-together at last on an issue. It was nothing of the kind. It had no more sub- stance as indicating party har- ROBERT MfI.FOLLETT mony than has the much vaunted figure of 13,500,000 Republican votes cast in the last election, which ignores the particular brands of Republicanism for which much of that vote was cast. THE FACT that 15 of the 32 senators whose terms expire in '37 voted for the McCarran amend- ment, 10 Republicans and five Democrats, suggests that personal political considerations and organ- ized labor influence played an important part in the outcome. No doubt they did in individual cases. Yet, the broad basis for Republican conserva- Also On I .
