NIGHT EDITOR: FRED WARNER NEAL Introucing President Ctten ... . HE LEARNED George Cutten, pres- ident of Colgate University, has] told his students this: "The greatest sinners are probably the philanthropists and the doctors. They have done everything they could to keep the unfit. Nature provides immunity to certain diseases by eliminating all those who contract the diseases. NoW we have a protected race rather than a resistant race." Then turning to social legislation, "Nothing could. threaten the race as seriously as this. It is begging the unfit to be more unfit and inviting the fit to join the ranks of the unfit." One must first ask the learned President Cut- ten, "Who is unfit?" He apparently means by unfit those who are diseased.' One would also like to know what is fitness. Fitness, as any elemen- tary student of sociology knows, is adaptation to environment. The fit are those best adapted to their environment. But let us take a dank, dark swamp filled with impure water and vegetation. Here gad-flies will breed and become exceeding numerous. They will thrive because they are well suited to the enyironment of the swamp. But let us take the Archbishop of Canterbury and put him in this swamnpwith the gad-flies. The Archbishop would certainly perish. But if we drained this swamp, cut down the unwholesome vegetation, and built a warm and sanitary house for the Archbishop he would thrive and prosper and it would be the gad- flies who perished. Who, indeed, is President Cut- ten to say whe is fit and who unfit? The Spartans once decided that the diseased and maimed must go if the city-state was to build up a "resistant" race. Spartans became a race of physically super-men and warriors. Yet a breed which was "protected" and not "resistant" subdued them - the Athenian breed. Further, is fitness, as the learned President Cutten definies it, the product of heredity or en- vironment? He apparently thinks it is the product of. environment, for he says society "encourages the fit to become unfit." How palpably absurd this is! Does President Cutten nrnnone to rear his children withnt edu- turn to the law of the jungle and the degradation of the human race to barbarism. President Cutten, steeped in and spreading harmful absurdities, is little less than an enemy of society. Footprints On The Sands Of Time... T HIS IS AN UNFORUNATE TIME to build memorials. We have expressed in a previous editorial our sincere appreciation to those who have remem- bered Michigan with gifts that will add to the beauty and meaningful tradition of the campus. The new carillon will be a distinct addition to the buildings of the campus, lending beauty and dig- nity. And so let what shall follow not be con- strued as being written in a spirit of ungrate- fulness. Nevertheless, coming as it does when the eco- nomic exigency is causing deterioration within, weakening the internal structure of the University, it would appear somewhat ill-advised to apply re- sources to the less immediate external needs. A university consists not only of buildings, but of men. The rich tradition of a university, in fact, is not carried through its buildings, although these' appear to be the permanent and material aspects, but remain rather through the qualities of human tradition with which time has endowed it - through the warming association with the inspir- ing personalities who have passed like shining lights through its halls, through the inspiration derived from the service to humanity by men who devote their lives to the unswerving pursuit of academic truth. These are the qualities that make a university rich. In April this year, President Rutrven declared: "Five of the best men on the faculty have told me within the last two weeks that they will be forced to consider other offers." "Other institutions and enterprises, reflecting a general upward trend and enjoying an in- crease in net revenue, have restored salary reduc- tions in whole or part," he said, deploring, at the same time, the fact that not one salary of a teacher or administrator at the University had, up to that time, been increased. Since that time, the University has continued to suffer from its inability to pay distinguished men the salary they deserve. Other institutions, better endowed, financially more secure, have steadily been draining many of the best faculty men Michigan has produced. The increase in enrollment this year is an en- couraging indication. And yet it is still true that there are many in the University who merit assist- ance now required to spend their time largely in self-support, and that there are more who are not in the University who should be, and could be, with the cooperation of the University's bene- factors. Thus we build for the future, not with bricks but with a more lasting material: human beings -men to learn and men to teach. If one would leave his imprint upon the future, it would better be done through the more direct application of assistance to the insurance of the fulfillment of its immediate functions. IAsOthers See It Good-By, Baseball (From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) THANK GOODNESS, this raccoon-coated world series is ended at last. Detroit won, and Mickey Cochrane, manager of the Tigers, is a big- ger man in the Michigan metropolis than Henry, Edsel and all the Fords. Chicago is, of course, disconsolate. Does baseball linger too long? Certainly Oc- tober is not baseball weather -not when the post-season war is waged in Detroit and Chicago. Icy blasts. Frozen fans. Frozen players. The one bit of warmth in the latest classic was sup- plied by an umpire, a fellow named Moriarty who talks like Mussolini. What was it he called the Chicago team? Ethiopians or something like that. He would like to massacre the whole bunch, he said, and was quite prepared to do it. We want to be fair to Detroit and Chicago. They are pretty good towns. But as regards base- ball, they are, climatically, on the edge. Even on a balmy afternoon in June, Chicago is a trying place for a citizen of the temperate zone. The sun may be shining for all it's worth at 3 o'clock, say, when the game starts. But one presently feels the lake's chill breath on the back of his neck, and in the latter innings, though the hardy natives seem comfortable enough, the visitor "from God's country" is a shivering wretch. As for De- troit, it ought to stick to the robust sports of the Arctic circle. Anyhow, October belongs to football. But so long as the world's baseball championship hangs in the balance, the gridiron's affairs of pith and moment are neglected, and many of us couldn't even find time to read all the terrible. things Mr. Hoover said about the Roosevelt ad- ministration and What an egregious blunder the country made in 1932. And So To Bed (From the Pitt News) NOW THAT the university social program has swung- into high gear, it might not be amiss to suggest a few words of caution in regard to students missing out on sleep. A hundred and fifty years ago, Benjamin Franklin declared that sleep makes us healthy, wealthy, and wise. After a century and a half, it is still evident that Mr. Franklin had something on the ball when he made that declaration. Particularly at this time of the year, when changing weather brings a certain susceptibility to colds, there is need for a sufficient amount of sleep. Every notive about the common cold that has come out of the University Student Health services is headlined by the suggestion: "Get at A Washington BYSTANDER By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. EVEN A CASUAL review of President Roosevelt's speeches across the country and at San Diego reveals a "we stand on the record" theme surely destined to mark the '36 Roosevelt reelection campaign. Mr. Roosevelt said it in different ways and words; but its central thread was no less blunt than "Big Jim" Farley's stand-on-the- record radio declaration. The President appeared to become more and more convinced as he traveled westward that loud Republican chortles and hushed Democratic whispers of widespread and significant waning of his popularity, were somewhat unfounded. The San Diego speech climaxed his effort to explain and expound the interweaving of recovery and reform in New Deal policy. Yet, after con- tinuous train conferences along the way he felt so encouraged as to assert that his reform measures, by far more controversial in the legislative mak- ing than his recovery projects, were now all but unanimously accepted. * * * * WHETHER the San Diego speech was subjected to last moment revision in view of Mr. Roose- velt's surprise reception in Los Angeles, which so impressed the newswriters accompanying him, does not appear. It certainly reflected in general tone, however, even more confidence of western support for his candidacy next year than did his Fremont farm speech. Be he right or wrong about it, there is good reason to believe Mr. Roosevelt sailed on his deepsea fishing trip with mind unvexed by '36 political worries. He all but defied the opposition to make a case to the voters next year on the constitutional, the government spending, the dic- tator, the government interference with business, or any other of the "issues" yet projected for '36 by Republican spokesmen. ROOSEVELT political luck in the past has been a byword among his followers. It so hap- pened that far-away events conspired to give him at San Diego an opportunity to reassert his "good neighbor" foreign relations doctrine in cir- cumstances that hardly could have framed to better advantage what he said for American voter contemplation. As he spoke, no doubt, the news boys were cry- ing extras in the streets of San Diego with screaming "WAR" headlines. That very day the cables were sizzling with rumors that Italo-Ethi- opian hostilities had actually begun. In all likelihood, Mr. Roosevelt intended all along to make his declaration that "despite what happens in continents overseas, the United States shall and must remain . . . unentangled and free." It represented not the slightest departure from his well-known policy. Yet, the chance news of the day from abroad afforded him opportunity.to send his peace pledge winging over the nation on the heels of the head- lined war rumours. That is one Roosevelt advance commitment against which no opposition cry likely is to be raised unless and until the mood of the nation undergoes a revolutionary change. through their early morning classes, the Univer- sity of Texas has adopted courses for teaching stu- dents how to sleep. Classes of more than 200 have been materially benefited, it is reported. Experiments in sleep laboratories show that manual workers might miss sleep for a time without ill effect, but that business and profes- sional workers still needed their regulation eight hours of sleep in order to be healthy, happy, and efficient. Students are urged to mingle in as many social functions as possible because of the accepted values derived. They are also urged to find eight hours a night for sleeping purposes. It might be wise to look around before lighting the candle at both ends. Italo-Americaun Trade (From the De.roit News) EFFECTIVE application of sanctions terminat- ing trade with Italy would cost American bus- iness about $5,000,000 a month. The estimate is made on Department of Commerce figures which indicate that since the beginning of 1933 Amer- ican exports to Italy have averaged approximately $60,000,000 a year. Experience warns, however, that when nations go on a war rampage, whether they win or lose, they cease to. be good risks in trade. Uncle Sam got his European pet name of "Uncle Shylock" not by running a pawnshop in Europe but by selling legitimate goods on credit. And the credit didn't prcve to be so good. Among the proud sovereign- ties that stuck Uncle Sam was this same Italy that now is waging "defensive" warfare in the heart of another nation's territory. So maybe this country loses by shutting off trade and maybe it would lose by continuing trade. At any rate, a little less cotton and scrap iron sent to Europe may lessen the supply of ex- plosives and shrapnel.' Stop And Think (From the Daily Illini) A SURVEY of 100 students showed that a large majority of them expressed a decided favor- itism towards Ethiopia in the fighting now con- fronting the world. These students have a right to have an opinion. But it would almost appear as though they were making the same mistakes that lead the United States into the war in 1917. The Daily Illini does not seek to defend or con- demn either of the' belligerents. But it does wish fin maikQ P1aa,the daanere of totinL +he war FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1935 VOL.

Two Roosevelt Brothers Have Narrow Eseape John, James Miss Death in Crash With Electric Train In Boston BOSTON, Oct. 10. - (P) - Quick action by John Roosevelt, the Presi- dent's youngest son, prevented serious injury to him and his brother, James, when his car crashed through a cross- ing gate and collided with an electric train last night. James was unhurt, John's left shoulder was bruised; his roadster was severely damaged. The two sons of the President were riding in John's roadster en route to the East Boston airport. James intended to take a plane to New York after visiting here. John was driv- ing, police said. As the car neared a crossing of the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn railroad, the gates were dropped for a Boston-bound train. The Roosevelt car splintered one gate but John swerved to the right, bringing his car parallel to the train and heading in the same direction. Simultaneously, William J. Norton, operator of the train, jammed on the brakes. As the train and car collided the front steps of the first railroad car' were torn off. The train, continuing in motion, caught the car on the rear steps. When the train stopped, the roadster was wedged between it and a post. The car's engine was smashed; the left side was a mass of wrinkled steel. Both brothers said they were going about 15 to 20 miles and hour when the accident occurred and witnesses corroborated their statements. Find Body Of Flier On Shore Of Lake SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 10. - (') - second body, believed to be that of a second member of the crew of a missing Standard Oil Co. air liner, was seen this forenoon, lying on the east shore of Stansbury island at the southern end of Great Salt Lake. When an amphibian plane flew today over the spot where its oc- cupants yesterday afternoon saw a body lying on the shore of the island, they found it was still there. A body discovered on the island yesterday by a ground party meanwhile had been removed to a Tooele, Utah, un- dertaking establishment. Efforts were being made to com- plete its identification as that of Charles O. Anderson, mechanic of the missing air liner, last reported ap- proaching the Salt Lake airport early last Sunday morning. Yost Says Varsity Needs Enthusiasm (Continued from Page 1) then being drilled in defense against Indiana's plays. "They're a good bunch of boys. There's some real football material out there. But in- diana's hard to beat. It's going to take something more than a knowl- edge of how to play football. It's go- ing to take some of the old "go-get- em" Michigan spirit." And the Old Man's smile of remin- iscence turned to one of grim de- termination; as if he knew the Men of Michigan of 1935 would not let their football team down.
