TWO THEr MT l IX XTEY SATURDAY, NOV Jones Defends Students' Right To Education Preuss . And Vandenberg Differ; Pollack Sees Civil Service Need (Continued from Page 1) university is a hotbed of Commun- ism," he asked the editors, "I ask you to remember that the faculty of your university is, so far as I know, still in the main honestly trying to main- tain balance and proportion, still striving to keep your university what it was intended to be- a free forum for the discussion of ideas, an island of calm in which, for the benefit of the whole people, a group of men and women, young and old, are trying to lead the intellectual life." Speaking on the afternoon pro- gram, Prof. Lawrence Preuss of th political science department took issue with Senator Vandenberg' speech of the night before and de- clared that. the United States should accept "partiality" rather than neu- trality and accept a plan of respon- sibility to cooperate with the League of Nations. Traces Neutrality Professor Preuss traced the history of the United States' policies of neu- trality and said that, whereas before only the extremes of neutrality or belligerency were open to the nation, "We now have a third concept - par- tiality." He explained this to mean that the United States in maintain- ing alleged neutrality toward both of two belligerent governments, really often aids one or the other. If an embargo on munitions is declared, he pointed out, the nation which does not import munitions will not be harmed at all, and the nation which does will be aided. The Kellogg pact for the renuncia- tion of war, Professor Preuss held, definitely implies more than a moral obligation. "I cannot understand the statement of Senator Borah that it has only a moral application," he said, "nor can I understand Senator Vandenberg's view that it is binding only on our conscience. I do not think the possibilities of the pact have been sufficiently explored. If we want to enjoy the fruits of the Kellogg pact, we must designate the aggressor of a war." He urged that Congress should con- sider legislation that would prohibit the United States from exporting more to Italy in time of warthan in time of peace. (In that case," he explained, "we would not have to compete with the League." Pollock Speaks Professor Preuss placed consider- able emphasis on the United States' treaty with Italy, formulated in 1871. That pact provides, he said, for' free- dom of trade between the nations ex- aept in contraband in war. "And the list of contraband it sets forth is iden- tical with that set forth in the recent neurality legislation." Professor James K. Pollock, also of the political science department and recently appointed civil service com- chairman of Governor Fitzgerald's mission, addressed the morning ses- sion of the club on "Government by Merit." "It is little short of criminal that the state should not secure the services of its best qualified people. "While nine states stand out with more or less satisfactory civil service schemes, Michigan, unfortunately has been crawling along on the old pat- ronage basis which Governor Fitz- gerald most appropriately calls 'the most corroding influence in popular government.'" Howard W. Blakeslee, science editor of the Associated Press, addressed the evening session, telling of dis- coveries in American laboratories and his experience in writing about them 'A Scientist Too' "I never opened a science book," he said, "but I am a scientist too. I know how to write it to get it into the newspapers. My theory is that you should put motion into science news." Junius B. Wood, former special correspondent of the Chicago Daily news and a noted reporter, described difficulties in obtaining news from Nazi Germany. In a series of anec- dotes, he brought out the principle that the foreign correspondent "must interpret the news of the country for the American public." In most of Europe the press is con- trolled, he said, and to tell the truth the correspondent must have "a little ingenuity." Andrew A. Bishop of the State Wel- fare Department opened the morn- ing session, speaking on "The Proba- tion Problem in Michigan." "The establishment of a state probation system here is the most progressive and most needed action Michigan could take," he said. Such a system, he declared, "which would really save the state much money, "must be fi- nanced by the state." Prof. Wesley H. Maurer of the journalism department, which spon- sors the Press Club, spoke at the be- ginning of the afternoon session on "The Spectrum of Though."

Fourth Floor 'Attic' Discovered To Be Rendezvous Of Sculptors Department Is One Of Few Of Its Kind In America, Says Prof. Fairbanks By ELSIE A. PIERCE The average student who has no- ticed the array of ghostly-looking fig-; ures propped up against the windows of the fourth floor of University Hall has perhaps idly wondered what went on up there. Those figures which have aroused so much curiosity are pieces of sculpture and the fourth- floor "attic" is the rendezvous of stu- dent artists, for it houses the sculp- ture department of the University. However, this is one department where the average student is not wel- come-in fact he is even excluded. Only those who have special talent in sculpture are admitted to the courses, which are under the direction of Prof. Avard Fairbanks. This department, which attempts according to Professor Fairbanks "to combine a general cultural education with practical training in creative work," is one of the few of its kind in America. In the majority of uni- versities in this country fine arts are taught only through lecture courses, or- where practical work is offered, it is through technical courses in land- scape design or architecture. Established In 1928 The opportunity for establishing the department came in 1928 when authorities of the University ex- pressed the belief that if talented stu- dents in science would receive better training by working on original pro- jects as a part of their general col- lege education, the same should hold true of fine arts students. The Carnegie Corporation became interested in the project and grant- ed the University $100,000 to begin the program, and to prove that crea- tive art could be advantageously taught in connection with higher ed- ucation. By means of this grant all activi- ties iri the fine arts department were expanded, but the most significant development was the establishment of the classes in sculpture. Fairbanks A Noted Sculptor Professor Fairbanks was brought to Michigan to head the department. He was educated at the Arts Students League in New York, and Ecole Na- tionale des Beaux Arts, and the Ecole Moderne in Paris, and a Guggen- heim Memorial Fellowship for study- ing sculpture. Besides having taught sculpture at the University of Ore- gon, he has executed many important commissions, such as the 91st Divi- sion Memorial at Fort Lewis, Wash- ington, the Pioneer Mother Memorial in Vancouver, and the Washburn Fountain in Eugene, Ore. The facilities for the department include three-large work rooms, lo- cated on the fourth floor of Uni- versity Hall, with powerful electric lighting, modeling stands, big vats for the clay, and heavy tables for marble work. As soon as a student has mastered the fundamentals, he is given free rein in working out his own ideas. The first step in making the work is the composition- that is, to make a small clay model. Then the student works on the actual figure, with only his clay supported by an armature. After the modelling is completed, it is cast in a mold, and the plaster is chipped off. Some of the finished products, which are now on display in the hall, are painted with imita- tion bronze, which gives a coppery- green effect. Developing New Material Professor Fairbanks is not only supervising the work of the students, but is also working on his own ideas. Among them is the development of a new secret material, which he calls "wax-stone," which is pliable to work with, and gives the. effect of yellow- ish-brown wax, but which will be- come as hard as marble in five or 10 years. Exhibitions of student work are' held annually in the League, and some of the works have won special recognition. "The Laborer" by Har- ry Bethke, '36, was awarded the Anna Scripps Whitcomb prize for the best creative work at the annual Exhibi- tion for Michigan Artists which opened Wednesday at -the Detroit Art Institute, while Harry Furst's "Perseus" was given recognition at the exhibition held last spring in the Grand Central Galleries in New York. Work Is Widely Recognized The work that Professor Fairbanks and his classes have been doing has achieved nation-wide recognition. Among the noted art patrons who have praised the program are George S. Koyl, dean of the school of fine arts of the University of Pennsyl- vania, who wrote to Professor Fair- banks, saying "Your students seem to be doing excellent creative work and I quite agree with you that with- in the universities lies one of the greatest hopes of successful sculptors and painters for the future." NORRIS BACKED BY ROOSEVELT WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. - (/') - President Roosevelt called upon the people of Nebraska today to insist that Senator George W. Norris, Re- publican Independent, run for re- election next year. Vandenberg Is Not Candidate For Any Office' Says Roosevelt Represents 'New Deal Party,' Not Democrats (Continued from Page 1) in the November American Magazine that there is little if any differences between political parties in the United States today. "It is true that the old distinctions between Republicans and Democrats do not exist today," he admitted, "but this does not mean that there are no sharp distinctions at all. There has developed in recent times a sharp division of political opinion among the American people, a complete realignment of thought, and this must be expressed through the parties." Senator Vandenberg declared that "President Roosevelt has never once mentioned the Democratic party. He does not represent the Democratic party. He represents the New Deal party.'' Andhe charged that the New Deal is a party which "regards the Su- preme Court as public enemy num- ber one, which believes the court holds back progress, which wants leg- islation by executive decree rather than by established legislative insti- tution, and holds for a centralized bureaucracy and regimentation." Asked about so-called class distinc- tions in the United. States, Senator Vandenberg held that it is "all pure, unadulterated bunk." He pointed to himself, son of a harnessmaker, as a denial of the fact that Americans cannot rise above the "class" in which they were born. Although he said President Roose- velt will "undoubtedly" win the Democratic nomination, he was firm in his belief that "American public opinion cannot be bought" with the New Deal "pork-barrel funds." The Senator reemphasized his be- lief that "We must either restore the Republican party, next year or set loose an unlimited experimentation in centralized political bureaucracy, which is the Democratic term for dic- tatorship." Advises Audience To See Plays If They Want To Appreciate Poet "To study Shakespeare wisely, one must see his plays at the theatre," Prof. Hereward T. Price of the Eng- lish department advised WJR radio listeners over the University broad- casting hour yesterday. One should also act in one of his plays if possible no matter how small the part may be, he added. In addi- tion, one should, in order to under- stand Shakespeare, read criticism not only of the critics but of the ac- tors themselves. He added a warn- ing, however ,that "one should be- ware of the Ph.D.'s and critics with a theory to prove." Presenting the main facts that have been considered true concerning Shakespeare's life, Professor Price explained many of the former's char- acteristics in terms of his environ- ment." Shakespeare is characteristic- ally Elizabethan in his flaming pas- sion for beauty, his welcoming of new ideas to discuss, and his command of the vivid and striking phrase," Professor Price stated. Shakespeare revealed in his writ- ings one of the distinguishing ele- ments of the age -the use of para- doxical ideas, Professor Price con- tinued. His heroes tend to be like himself, men of an honest, free and open nature, whom treachery brings low. These heroes often are dream- ers, and tragedy arises when they find that the world will not let them dream. "In comedy he preaches sobriety, moderation, the modesty of nature," Professor Price continued. "In trag- edy he was profoundly skeptical about the powers that rule the world. Life was an ironic and tragic tangle, 'a tale told by an idiot.' On the other hand the morality shadowed forth in these plays has been described as the finest essence of Christianity. One should regard his works as "re- cording the struggles of a titanic mind with the problems of his age and the particular circumstances of his private life presented to him," Professor Price concluded. The es- sential is the endeavor to find some sort of meaning and order in a troubled and chaotic world." CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY FOR SALE FOR SALE: 1934 Buick-67.
