Fraternities
Look Ahead*.. .
THOSE IN WHOSE HANDS the di-
rection and development of Mich-
igan's fraternities will rest three years from now
will gather for the first time tomorrow evening at
a banquet given by the Interfraternity Council
in honor of fraternity pledges.
The many problems that fraternities meet are
unknown to the great majority of pledges. It is
often that upper classmen, juniors and seniors,
fail to realize the problems that are ever con-
fronting fraternities. The burden of directing and
developing fraternities has, as a result, fallen on a
few shoulders.
As problems grow more complex in every insti-
tution, they have grown more complex in fra-
ternities. More cooperation is required today than
ten years ago, and more cooperation will be de-
manded five years hence.
As fraternity pledges gather tomorrow night,
they will realize the vastness of fraternity organi-
zation. Fraternity problems will be the subject of
their thought. Instead of waiting several years to
take an interest in fraternity group problems,
they will begin as freshmen; and as a consequence,
when they become responsible for the destiny of
Michigan's fraternities, they will be better fitted
to meet their problems than fraternity men have
been in the past.
Also significant in their meeting is the recogni-
tion of excellence in scholarship. The fraternity
whose members maintained the highest grade
average last year will be given the Interfraternity
Council scholarship cup as recognition of its at-
tainment.
The results of this banquet should be as con-
structive and as far-reaching as any project ever
undertaken by the Interfraternity Council.
Whither
North China?. .
JAPAN IS BEGINNING to encounter
difficulties in her audacious plan to
will hail any reports of obstacles in Japan's path.
The movement aiming at independence of these
provinces is even more unjustifiable and ruthless
than the establishment of the puppet state of
Manchukuo. This particular section of China is
the oldest center of its ancient civilization. The
situation is analagous to the establishment of a
separate nation here out of the original thirteen
states of the Union, under the control and guidance
of a foreign power.
The political situation in North China is one
that bodes ill for future peace. Russia and Japan
are almost stepping on one another's toes in their
anxiety to gain the upper hand in Eastern Asia.
Both have extended their spheres of influence
steadily, and there is little doubt that they will
sooner or later come into direct conflict.
China, in the meantime, has apparently decided
to "string along" with Japan, although her reluc-
tance to readily acquiesce to the latest Japanese
move indicates that she is wavering in the direc-
tion of the League. China is, and has been for
some time, in a politically decentralized condi-
tion. Although nominally the Nanking govern-
ment is the central authority in the country, ac-
tually there are a large number of warlords, or
military governors, who rule their particular prov-
inces with a practically free hand.
The temerity exhibited by Japan in its actions
with regard to the five Chinese provinces is as-
tonishing. For some time she has been replacing
pro-Chinese officials in the provinces with pro-Jap-
anese officials, a procedure that has been made
easier by the general apathy of the Chinese people
toward politics. With practically the entire offi-
cialdom of the provinces now consisting of Chinese
with Japanese proclivities, and with the attention
of the world and the League of Nations diverted by
the Italian-Ethiopian conflict, Japan is moving
boldly to make a puppet state out of a wealthy
territory populated with almost 100 million Chi-
nese and Mongols.
Japan's complete disregard for China's natural
rights in the matter are indicated by an enlight-
ening paragraph appearing in a recent Associated
Press dispatch from Tokio: "Interviews emanating
from the war office stressed that the Japanese
army must oppose forcibly any attempt of the
Nanking government to send troops to that area."
In other words Japan is asserting that her right
to send her armies into the heart of China to
enforce her policies supersedes the right of China
herself to maintain her territorial integrity.

Arrive Earlier
To the Editor:
I am in favor of the earlier hour on Friday
nights. Naturally any change in customary rules
will cause a disturbance. When the women be-
come accustomed to the earlier hour, however,
they will not resent the change. Moreover, "dat-
ing" is being done, just as much on Saturday as
on Friday in spite of the 12:30 hour on that
night; if the women want more time for dancing
they should make it a point to arrive earlier.
-Brenda Parkinson, '36.
The Valiant Few
To the Editor:
The question of shortening women's hours for
Friday night is to be decided Monday. If it is true,
as it seems to be, that, the majority of the under-
graduate women oppose this measure, we are faced
with the social phenomenon of the multitude
clamoring to uphold a principle, and the valiant
few standing firm for prosaic common sense. That
the principle is commendable, we grant, but the
women, so accustomed over a period of years to
struggle for the right of individual decision are
apparently incapable of a rational view of this
problem.
The real issue is not one of subjecting ourselves
to paternalism, or maternalism if you choose, since
the action was initiated by University women
themselves and not through official channels. It is
rather a decision as to which course would be more
beneficial in our attempt to achieve the goal we
seek in college. That goal is for some, social
success; for others, purely intellectual development,
but for the great majority of us, a mean some-
where between the two.
I approve of the proposed change for reasons
purely practical. There are those of us, who,
although faced with two classes on Saturday morn-
ing, would nevertheless like to go out Friday night,
but not to the detriment of our work. It is pos-
sible but most awkward to leave dances an hour
early. The escort will inevitably be resentful
of such treatment. Why then, should we not set
the hours at 12:30 rather than 1:30 and begin
the evening at 9 rather than 10? This appears to
be the most logical solution, and if, in the future,
hours were to be advanced one hour on Saturday
night, there should remain no objection.

PLAINT AGAINST PROGRESS
One exhibitor displayed a combination cab-
inet and, sink which can be fitted over
a bathtub, the tub being used to store vege-
tables or linen.-Herald Tribune.
My eye has always twinkled, and my upper lip
has curled
When hearing plaints that this is but a mechan-
istic world;
Reports of new inventions over me cast magic
spells,
And I've listened very avidly to Jeans and H. G.
Wells;
But though I'm all for progress, yet I'm moved to
bitter wrath
By these latest modern gadgets which forbid me
from my bath!
Of all the bathtubs I have used (and many have I
been in)
Not one struck me as just the place to share
with piles of linen,
And when I'm singing gayly, or I'm reading Keats
or Plato,
I'd hate to have as kibitzer a not too clean
potato;
I redden at the prospect (or at least I grow quite
pink)
Of tubs that change from cabinets into a kitchen
sink!
I always viewed with interest, and I greeted with
loud cheers
The intricate contraptions of our brainy gadget-
eers;
I applauded each invention and each chromium
device-
But now I see that progress sometimes costs too
dear a price:
I only ask these bright young men to stick to rules
of math,
And leave old fogies like myself a place to take a
bath!
M.K.H.
Mr. J. P. Morgan said that people here didn't
realize that if a firm goes ahead and increases
its business, eight months of the results each year
are taken away in taxes. "Which," said Mr. Mor-
gan, "is not .much incentive to work." It seems to
us that people don't realize that if a nation goes
ahead and increases its armaments many of that
nation's young men are taken away in death
Which is not much incentive to war.
WILL ROGERS BILL
Sir: If George Ade was talking about the inci-
dent I have knowledge of, Will Rogers did not get
the $500. He got $1,000. The late Mrs. Mary
Harriman Rumsey once told me of a supper party
she gave for the Prince of Wales. Before drawing
up the invitation list she asked H.R.H. if there was
any one he especially wanted to meet. H.R.H.
said, "Yes, only one. Will Rogers." Mrs. Rumsey
invited Rogers; he came; he was asked to do his
stuff; he did a special impromptu, kidding the
royal lad, who was, if never before, the enchanted
prince. Rogers, or his business agent, sent Mrs.
Rumsey a bill for $1,000, which she promptly and
gladly paid.
Afterward she told of the incident as a joke
on herself - that she was afraid some catty woman
had bruited it about that her parties were so dull
she had to pay her guests a thousand dollars apiece
and throw in the Prince of Wales as a special in-
ducement.
BURTON RASCOE.
And Mr. Gene Goldstein says that it was Harry
M. Daugherty's party, that the bill was paid, the
money going to a charity designated by Rogers.
The attention of the Pulitzer award commit-
tee, not to say of the Banshees- an organization
of newspaper executives who are to award prizes to
reporters - hereby is directed to "The Biography
of Slain Youth Born Into Crime." It was written
by Earl Sparling, and was printed in yesterday's
World-Telegram. It is the factual story of Angelo
Perretti, twenty-six, buried yesterday. He was
shot by policemen Sunday morning on the roof
of 189 First Avenue.
SMALL COUPLETS ON GREAT SUBJECTS
Youth
Small consolation to the girl nobody woos
That stars do not, like street lamps, march in twos.
The adolescent girl and also, belike, her brother
Thinks that to love one thing you must hate an-
other.
To be beloved, strive not for inner grace;
All that you need is rhythm in your face.
Pragmatism
Each man in some small way must feel superior
If only by calling some whole race inferior.
If I worked to help all share this planet's pelf
I'd lose my job and then not share myself.
I'll take the bitter with the blessed thing:
Perish together the honey and the sting.

BYSTANDER
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. - Budget
making for the next fiscal year
involves very critical decisions for
President Roosevelt. They are more
critical perhaps from the viewpoint
of his own political future than even
the similar decision he made in 1934.
There is plenty to indicate Mr. Roose-
velt fully realizes this. His budgetary
ideas are a jealously guarded secret
at this moment.
The White House is more sensitive
on that point than any other. Any
speculative newspaper story brings
quick reaction. The situation also is
illuminated by the efforts Mr. Roose-
velt has made at press conferences
and in commenting on haphazard re-
marks about the budgetary situation'
by administration subordinates to
discount advance budget estimates.
Back in 1934 Mr. Roosevelt pre-
sented his first relief-recovery-reform
budget in a message that startled the
nation if not the world.
* * * *
THAT '34 budget boldly forecast a
probable total national debt of
nearly $32,000,000,000 by July, 1935.
That the placing of so staggering a
picture before the nation was done
against the protest of some presiden-
tial advisers is now an open secret.
They feared the poltical effect. Mr.
Roosevelt carried on, however, and
since the tremendous outlays had not
by the date he set reached that total,
he since has been charged by political
foes with deliberate over-statement in
order to produce an effect.
This is worth recalling since now
the President seems to face a deci-
sion as to how to handle a reverse
situation. Certainly recovery as well
as discernible political though trends
seem to invite a budget program next
January so drastically revised down-
ward as to take much of the wind out
of a "balance-the-budget" '36 cam-
paign issue. Is Mr. Roosevelt about
to strike again in budgetary matters
as boldly as he did in '34 but in the
other direction?
* * * *
WHEN such spokesmen as Secretary
Roper, Chairman Jones of RFC
and others of the "new deal" high
command, turned out to urge a new
wave of business and banking cooper-
ation to complete the recovery drive,
it was a notable fact that they were
mum on the budgetary question. No
message they could have carried from
Washington to their respective audi-
ences would have been better cal-
culated to promote such cooperation
than hints of budget balancing in the
offing. Not even Roper's assurances
that the "new deal" reform program
is complete, the "breathing spell" still
on, could match it in reassuring effect.
But they said nothing on the point,
no doubt by White House command.
Visions' of a half-billion cut in
"emergency" outlays next year and
a similar increase in tax yield due to
recovery to make up a billion dollar
stride toward a balanced budget, have
been conjured up by some writers.
No responsible official in Washing-
ton could be found to sponsor that or
any other estimate. The President
declares he himself will not know un-
til the last moment.
