Did he think himself a failure? We hope he did not. Men who have devoted their life-long efforts to an attempt at ameliorat- ing the unjust conditions of humanity will never be failures even if their material accomplishments come to naught, for by their precept alone they have brought inspiration to their fellow-men. Maj. Gen. Adolphus W. Greely, one of seven men to survive an expedition to the Arctic on which twenty-five started out, died in his 91st year Sun- day. His life had become a tragic epic from the day in 1881 when he, with his party of 25 soldiers, set. out to venture farther north than any other be- fore him. One of his group, an eskimo, was drowned; another was shot by Greely's orders for pilfering food when rations were growing short; the others, according to Greely's diary, literally ate their boots, then munched dry lichens and gnawed the remnants of their seal-skin clothing strug- gling to stay alive. With frozen hands they, struggled over the ice in vain search for animal life, sometimes killing a seal or a bear only to see its body sink between ice floes at their feet. Returning to the United States with valuable scinetific data, he found himself demoted because of political reasons, and it was a full half-century before he was granted official recognition for his heroic work. Bringing laughter into the daily doldrummic ex- istences of millions of people on every continent, Sidney Smith was no less an apostle than the others. He was the creator of a group of characters whose antics became endeared to adults no less than children. "I think the biggest things I've learned about people, through the Gumps," said Smith some time ago, "are, first that what they want is a clean and wholesome character in their fun; and, sec- ond, that they like best of all those pictures in which they see themselves or their friends pic- tuied through the daily happenings in the lives of the Gumps." Through a cartoonist with so high a conception of his own function, reading the comic strips be- came more than a mere matter of mental relaxa- tion. These grotesque antics became commen- taries on life, and are indeed a healthy sign, for when we can laugh at ourselves through the laugh- ing pens of men like Sidney Smith, we may be said to have possession of a sanity less likely to be lost in times of national duress.

OWN SAMUEL PEPYS 1I r Saturday, October 12 Y UNDERGROUND railway to my office, and might restful of a warm day; and so out all the afternoon, and so home to supper, and in the eve- ning with my wife to see "Jubilee," and I was amused and delighted by most of it, and by Mr Melville Cooper's droll pretenses and Miss Mary Boland's merriments, italicized though they were And I liked the songs that Mr. Cole Porter made and the music of his, too, and I thought that Sul- livan was often his musical guide, and Gilbert his lyrical. And good guides, too. So R. Lockridge and his wife took us home with them, and stayed me with two flagons of beer; and so walked, of all things, home with my wife. Sunday, October 13 THIS MORNING I went for a walk, and so home to luncheon, and thenafter took all my chil- dren, and caught up my wife on the way, at Miss Millay's and so all to the zoo in Central Park, such a great crowd there pressing that I had little joy of it, save when my daughter said, "The el- ephant has his trunk on," and one of my boys said that the hippopotamus was pretty silver. So meet Phyllis McGinley, and so all of us home together. So to bed after supper, tired. Monday, October 14 U P AT SEVEN, and read as much as was avail- able about the war, which will probably be named the Mussolini war, in honor of its launcher. But I do not know how much truth there is in the stories of the war, forasmuch as nothing can be sent that is not censored, so there must be printed only what Italy allows to be sent, or, .for that matter, Ethiopia. But Lord! it was like that in the World War, too, and it would have been hard for a soldier to write to America, or to England, from France, that perhaps here and there was a kind-hearted German; or even that Goethe, the rumor ran, may have had talent. So to the office, and there most of the day, working at many things, and so home for supper, and stopped at home all evening, discussing budget matters where every prospect displeases. Tuesday, October 15 1 THE OFFICE betimes, and finished by three, and to play, some pool with some success and some failure, and so home and found N. Win- ston and Rosita there for supper, and thenafter they to the concert and I and Mabel to the Empire to see P. Barry's "Bright Star," which I was full of hope would turn into an utterly fine play, but I found myself disbelieving in most of the char- acters, especially the chief ones, done by Miss Julie Haydon and Mr. Lee Tracy. And as to the cloyingly good wife that Miss Haydon portrayed, I, had I been her spouse, would have absorbed as much brandy as Mr. Tracy did, albeit I do not like it. But Miss Jean Dixon and Mr. Louis Heydt, in parts that I thought affected the play no whit, were excellent and credible. So to meet my wife, and I told her about the cloying sweetness of the wife in the play, and that my fear of her being like that was the least of my worries. So to a pub- lick, and had a merry time of it, what with Ruth Smallens telling me of her three weeks' old son Alexander. By SIGRID ARNE The Roosevelt predilection for fol- lowing a given course is amusingly il- lustrated in a story about the Presi- dent's handsome mother, Mrs. James Roosevelt. She was late in catching the home- ward bound boat at Cherbourg one year. The boat had left when she reached the dock. She could have waited for the next one. Instead she hired a tug, caught the steamer and - clambered happily up the side of a rope ladde. She was then 70 years 1old. One bock missing from the original George Washington li- brary at Mt. Vernon probably is in Sweden today. It was taken from the shelves and presented to Jeiniy Lind, the Swedish nightin- gale, when she visited here many years ago on a concert tour. The magnificent national cathedral here started years ago in a little in- valid's sewing box. The hill overlooking Washington on which the cathedral stands was owned originally by the Nourse fam- ily. It included Miss Phoebe, an in- valid, who eained pin money by sew- ing. When she died in 1850, she left a small box marked, "For a free church on Mt. Alban." It held $40, the first contribution to today's great edifice. Ann Royall, Washinton's first wom- an journalist, would be astonished to- day at the easy access accorded the press by both the President and his wife. Legend says Miss Royall, failing to get an interview with John Quincy Adams, followed him to the Potomac river where he went swimming. She sat on his clothes while he, standing up to his neck in water, answered her questions. Washington antiquarians are tantalized by the fact there is a rock in the city which came orig- inally from Solomon's temple, but which now is an unidentified block in the huge state, war anl niavy building. The war department has all the records on, its arrival, but there is no record as to where the stone masons finally lodged it in con- structing the walls. The story illustrates why guards at the interior building swear by their chief, Secretary Ickes. A taxi pulled up one Sunday afternoon and a man with a portfolio demanded entrance at a closed door. "Sorry, sir. Not open today. Use the center entrance," said the guard., "Why, do you know who I am?" blustered the man. "I'm a congress- man." "Sorr~y" "Well, I11 certainly tell your boss." For an hour the guard quaked. The congressman came back to say, "Your boss backed you up. He said rules are rules, and he was glad to hear you didn't break them." Senator Theodore Bilbo of Mis- sissippi found himself agreed on a state issue with one of his old- time political enemies, Fred Sul- lens of Jackson. Their side of thef argumdnt was victorious and Bil-i bo received a box from Sulles.1 It contained a pair of elaborate] supenders in bright red --Bilbo's favorite color. Representative Percy L. Gassaway of Oklahoma - he of the high-heeled1 boots - may be 50 years old, but that means nothing, or at least very little,i to him. He still breaks in the moret obstreperous broncos on his famous TX ranch near Coalgate in Okla-i homa's Coal County. Washington1 hears that the congressman's favorite is an unruly outlaw named "Cap" that throws everyone except Gassaway. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1935 VOL.

T IS A WELL KNOWN FACT among educators that freshmen find it very difficult to "bridge the gap" between preparatory school and college. Many problems arise during the interval when freshmen are ceas- ing to be mere "greenhorns" and are becoming true University students. By informal group discussion and by the com- ments of a University faculty member the series of Freshman Forums, sponsored jointly by the Interfraternity Council and the Union, seek to solve many of the problems which may have arisen during transition period. Many such problems present themselves. In the first place, few freshmen know how to study and find it necessary to revise their methods com- pletely 'during the first semester. Also the per- ennial problem of selecting a field for concentra- tion begins to perplex every new student. Unless this question is settled satisfactorily, a freshman may find four years later that he is graduating with training in a field in which he has very little interest. Finally, it is during the first college year that interest in intellectual pursuits is developed, if such are ever developed. If freshmen do not real- ize this, it is very probable that half of their time spent at the University will have been wasted. The forums, which begin today and which will follow on each Tuesday of the successive weeks, will aid freshmen in solving many of their per- sonal problems. Not only will the new men be able to realize the views of their classmates on such questions but they will have the opportunity to draw on the invaluable experience of a faculty man at every session.

Handbill Passing To the Editor: It seems to me that your editorial entitled "Handbill Passing Vs. A College Education" is an attempt to obfuscate the issue involved, and to place Miss Folkoff and Mr. Opler in the wrong. I am in complete accord with what you say about the necessity of obeying the rules of the Univer- sity, but when these rules are not existent except in the minds of certain people and especially when they are not applicable to all members of the student body, an element of personal discrimina- tion enters into the picture and schanges things considerably. I want it clearly understood that I am not a member of the National Student League. However, one must be very naive indeed to believe that the content of the offending leaflets had nothing to do with the suspension. For years organiza- tions of every kind and nature have distributed leaflets and handbills on the campus. From the student political parties to the National Student [eague, all sorts of leaflets have been passed out on the campus. Now, suddenly, and solely directed against these two members of the N.S.L., Univer- sity action is taken. Can it be consistently main- tained that this action is unrelated to the political leanings of the students? Can it be intelligently irgued that they have broken a rule which everyone knows and obeys, and hence are subject to dis- cipline therefor? I am not going to go into the prejudicial and unfair aspects of your editorial, for I do not be- ieve that many students expect much else from you. I do, however, want to make this one point. [f the University wants to be fair and honest, and to dispel from the minds of many of us that t is becoming arbitrarily discriminatory, let it nake known that it will prosecute and punish all handbill passing on the campus, regardless of the contents thereof, and regardless of the political, esidential and racial qualifications of the handbill' passers. -"The Eye." Wednesday, October 16 THIS MORNING I read a fine article in the Yale Review by Chauncey Tinker, on Housman's Poetry, and there were two things that I wish I might have said: "He knows the folly of trying to prolong one's-success unduly. With the bitter knowledge that comes only in middle age he real- ized that flowers from his garden may not always be 'the wear.' He is not the man to linger on the scene till his audience begins to melt away, but rather prefers to make an end before his admirers have realized their delight . . . Every phrase tells. His climax catches us unaware like a blow upon the mouth, a blow carefully placed, delivered, with full knowledge of its deadly force, by a professional." So at the office, and there at work, and then read George Britt's "Forty Years -Forty Millions: the Career of Frank A. Munsey." What I think of when I read about a newspaper publisher is whether I should have liked to work on his paper, and I knew when I met that I could not have, and now I am doublly certain. For he was a vain and humorously dull man, and I wish that Mr. Britt had included what Bert Taylor said about the Munsey blight: "All good news- papers when they die go to Munsey." So fell to work in the afternoon and at it till near seven o'clock, and in the evening out till past two in the morning at helping W. Brockway compile an index to a booklet of mine. Thursday, October 17 READ HOW YESTERDAY Governor Earle of New Jersey made a speech, and he spoke of "the factory riots in England a century ago and inspired Elizabeth Barrett Browning to write her memorable 'Song of the Shirt.'" Lord! that was the time she used the pseudonym of Thomas Hood. Per- haps Governor Earle was thinking of "The Cry of the Children," which Mrs. Browning was inspired to write because of the failure to enact a child labor law. So read John O'Hara's "Butterfield-8," and I could not lay it down till I had finished it, a swift and moving tayle of the alcoholics who flitted from speakeasy to speakeasy, and as true a tayle of the thoughts and emotions of such people as can be. Mr. Harry B. Smith sends me a "Catalogue of the Well-Known Collection of Relics of Samuel Pepys," the collection that was sold at auction at Sotheby's in 1931. What I should like to have most would be Sir Godfrey Kneller's portrait of Samuel Pepys, but not much else, I being no collector of such things, or come to think of it, of anything, not having the patience to collect anything. And even in the days when I was a bill collector for the Transatlantic Fire Insurance Company, I did not have the patience to be a success at it, but would listen sympathetic- ally to the men who told me that they ought to have more insurance, and to come around next m_ +h twr + nx t~ ,11l n v+Vn ill "A+0IIn _11 r_ Sophomore Cabaret Petitions: Pe- titions for positions on the commit- tees for the Sophomore Cabaret are available in the Undergraduate Office through Thursday, October 24.

Theatre Group meeting at 4 nm. room 304 Miehigran TUnion On.. AT THE MAJESTIC' "BROADWAY MELODY OF 1936" PLUS This is one of the most pleasant pictures of the year and is full of laughs, good music, and capable stars. It'll be a long time before we get enough of Frances Langford's sing- ing, Eleanor Powell's dancing, Jack Benny's comedy, or the dancing of the Ebsen team. The show is replete with hit songs such as "You Are My Lucky Star," "Broadway Rhythm," "On a Sunday Afternoon," "I've Got a Feelin' You're Foolin'," and "Sing Before Breakfast." Miss Langford does most of the sing- ing; Miss Powell dances even better than she did the last time we saw her; and Benny is perfect as the dirt-sling- ing columnist whose pay goes up the more times he gets called "rat." Vilma and Buddy Ebsen, brother and sister dancers, are particularly good in their "Sing Before Breakfast" skit atop a tenement house. Robert Taylor as the hero and producer of shows scores again and should go a long way in the profession. There are some good dance num- bers, including a ballet staged by Al- bertina Rasch. Among the minor players who deserve praise are Sid Silvers, who takeg the part of Benny's stooge, and Robert Wildhack, whose snoring act is a panic all by itself. Una Merkle is as capable and funny as ever. -J.C.F.lI. a; Te Years Ago From The Daily Files Of Oct. 22, 1925 f r c t7 t c c i As Others See It_ Berlin Marks Its Reckless Drivers (From The St. Louis Post-Dispatch) BERLIN'S ideas may not be in good repute in the outside world nowadays .but at last one has been produced that is at least worth filing for future reference. This is the method to be used there for dealing with traffic law violators. A yellow ring, it is reported, will be painted on the cars of drivers who have committed minor offenses. A large yellow cross will be placed on cars of hab- itual violators This has mor erealism to conmmend The problem of parking cars per- plexed the University. In a tenta- tive arrangement, only those on the faculiy who had the ranking of an instructor or higher should be allowed to park on University property, but even then there was not enough room for all the cars. Registrar Ira M. Smith submitted a plan to the Board of Regents calling for the deletion of superfluous ma- terial from the annual catalogue of the University. Descriptions of courses would be omitted fromn the catalogue under this plan. Every available pullman car in the country has been obtained to accom- modate the large crowd of alumni and students who are going to the Mich- igan-Illinois game at Urbana. In all, there will be 29 special trains. Two trains of 14 cars each will carry AT THE MICHIGAN, "SHIPMATES FOREVER" The principals in this picture do their best with what is a bit too trite to be a good picture. Handicapped by a weak story which is a little too gushy to be convincing, and by the lack of any but mediocre music, the story is saved only through the com- edy efforts of Powell's three room- mates at the Academy. Miss Keeler dances only twice and one of these times is negligible, so her presence in the picture has no effect on the gen- eral scheme.
