We think we live in an enlightened age, but insist that our teachers all swear upon their honor not to teach their students about certain theories of government, and insist that the vast expanse of Russia once more become a white "unknown" space on the world maps. This is indubitably a gesture in the direction of a one-party, one-religion country. If we do have to have one religion, let it not be that of false patriots. i [The Conning Tower SNOW TRAIN EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT Telephone 4925 BOARD OF EDITORS MANAGING EDITOR............THOMAS H.

NIGHT EDITOR: GUY M. WHIPPLE, JR. Fraternity Presidents Have A Job.. .. ARTICLE IV of the Interfraternity Council's new social regulation reads that "responsibility for the conduct of the members of the party and for the enforcement of these rules shall rest with the president of each fraternity" - which should effectively suggest to fraternity presidents that the success of fraternity self-government rests almost entirely upon their shoulders. The truth of this should be forcefully driven into the consciousness of fraternity presidents at this time particularly. In the first place, the in- itial success of the council as a self-governing body will be responsible for its acceptance in an estab- lished system. In the second place, J-Hop house parties, held on the year's most lively week-end and naturally conducive to misconduct, offer the greatest trial that fraternities will have to face in the next year. No doubt fraternity presidents will have con- flicting reactions when they find instances of mis- conduct which should be reported to the executive committee of the Council. They can see them- selves thought of as prigs by their own brothers; they can foresee their chagrin at being one of sev- eral fraternities disciplined; and they can see themselves labelled "suckers" by some houses which do not report infractions. But they were active in demanding self-gov- ernment for the council, so it is their duty to fulfill the obligations they have delegated to themselves. And, too, they should realize that an apprehended case of misconduct that is not reported by the house president will be dealt with more strictly. There is only one alternative to a conscientious enforcement and cooperation of fraternities; that is a return to University-governed. fraternities. The University's support of fraternities in their new venture may quickly change to condemnation if the self-government proves to be merely a pre- tense. The Land Of TheFree.. . F OR THE FIRST TIME in the his- tory of this country, a woman this week has been deprived of her children for political and religious reasons. In adivorce suit in the East in which both parents contested for the custody of two chil- dren, the judge awarded the children to the father on the basis of evidence which proved 'that the mother was a communist and did not believe in God. When asked by the judge whether she would bring up the children to hold democracy as the highest type of government and to worship the Lord who gave us our country, she replied that she would teach them to think for themselves, to read a great deal and to be broad-minded, whereupon the judge, ruling that the majority of Americans think differently, awarded the children to the father. In so doing, the judge vitiated the essential principles of democracy -- which holds that out of the free concourse of unfettered minds will arise social progress, without bloodshed.

Little Brother To the Editor: You should be ashamed of yourself -snapping back at our little brother, Michigan State. He's sufficiently humiliated at having to earn his athletic livelihood by playing football down here each year. It's bad enough for him to know that he'd have to quit making nice offers to the football players who can't get into school here-yes, that he'd have to go on the welfare altogether -if it weren't for the dollars we so generously pay him along about October 1st year in and year out. And that being the case, why do you have to rub it in further? Little brother's trying earnestly enough to get along, you know. He's still in the tinkertoy stage, trying to learn by making mistakes. He has "star" ends who throw away football games by tossing lateral passes into space, but he won't always have them - we hope. And we can be generous and predict he won't always have just those funny little rows of seats in which a few people sit on Saturday afternoons in the fall - just to watch him and his playmates and to wonder whether he'll ever grow up. Seriously, now, it's too bad for us that our little brother isn't going to play Notre Dame, for if he could arrange a transfer, we wouldn't have to bother with him on those first Saturdays in October of 1936, 1937 and 1938, and wouldn't have to humiliate him by further almsgiving. But that's just the point, I'll bet. The sly little rascal knows he has his candy assured for three more years and can afford to stick out his tongue at us. Maybe he's dry behind the ears, after all - and some day will be able to both play football and substitute for his conversational "dese" and "dose" the good English words "these" and "those." -'31 rAsOthers SeeIt__ Square Pegs - Round Holes (From the Brown Daily Herald) A REPUTATION for being a very able professor and handling one's classes and work excep- tionally well seems a very poor excuse to add to that faculty member's duties a minor admin- istrative function which could be handled by an outsider on a very small salary. Thus some of the ablest members of the Brown faculty instead of being allowed to pursue their departmental duties to their own and the undergraduate's further advantage, are placed in positions which require a great amount of routine work but no ability ex- cept possibly a little discipline. Examples of these are found in many minor adminitrative functions. These positions are of undebatable importance in the life of the university but they are not such that they could not be man- aged by one who does not possess a high repu- tation for his academic work. No university can boast of unlimited talent among its faculty, Brown included. Brown should therefore develop and put to the best advantage that talent which it has. There are many other cases on the campus in which this has not been done. Young Ideas (From the Daily Texan) O NE OF THE MOST encouraging things that has happened around here recently was the gen- eral faculty sanction of the committee "on organ- ization, functions, and future of the University." Nominated by and chosen from junior profes- sors, the committee is to study and report means by which the University might keep in step with modern educational trends from the standpoint of ideals, organization, and policies. While there are no actual figures to measure the conservatism of the general faculty, it must be con- ceded that a certain amount of traditional rigidity exists in the present faculty situation, logically dominated by the veterans. This is not to say that the upper members are of anything but a gen- erally high calibre from both the personal and academic standpoint. But the rigidity of any in- stitution is attributable to the dominance and in- fluence of those longest in association with it. Unconsciously the older members have been obliged to monopolize the faculty's part in the gov- ernment of University affairs. It is natural that they should be unaware of whatever incidental in- timidation they might have inflicted upon the jun- ior ranking professors. Younger faculty members have always had some sound, progressive ideas about University better- ment. The trouble is their thoughts have for the most part been ignored in higher circles as ill- considered, unauthorized or disconnected. The coalition of these ideas into a tangible program hnn i rnhP nmthiinto G+tn nrnn - wmh ti- Today, the sky is blue above, And white the fields that lie below, As I go meekly with my love To try our skill upon the snow. My love can skate, my love can ski, My love grew up in Michigan. These Dixie feet - alas, poor me! - Will never do the tricks his can. But long I've known of peace the price Is wifely tact, and so I praise His winged skill - then smack the ice Beneath his patronizing gaze. But limping homeward, nearly dead, Each muscle sore from such impact, I wish that Winter Sport I've wed Could go and sit upon that tact. K.C.G. Among Kipling's triumphs was that of the parodist; doubly triumphant was he in that his parody is far better known than the poem paro- died. This is "The Betrothed," beginning: Open the old cigar-box, get me a Cuba stout, For things are running cross-ways and Maggie and I are out. This is the poem in which occurs: And a woman is only a woman, but a good Cigar is a Smoke. That is parody of one of Will Carleton's "Farm Ballads," the title of which we don't even recall. One of those ballads was "Over the Hill to the Poorhouse." The poem Kipling took for his model began: Draw up the papers, lawyer, and make 'em good and stout, For things are wrong at the Crossways, and Maggie and I are out. Excellent as our Mr. Lawrence Gilman's piece in yesterday's paper was on the subject of Brahms, we were disappointed in it. We wanted to read what an erudite but beautifully writing expert had to say about the songs that were carpentered from Kipling. They were - and still are - ex- cessively popular, and must have had tremendous sales, in sheet music and in gramophone records. The most widely known are Reginald de Koven's "Recessional"; Oley Speaks's "On the Road to Mandalay," and Walter Damrosch's "Danny Deever." O.K., Mr. G., next Sunday? "That's the secret. 'Tisn't beauty, so to speak, nor good talk necessarily. It's just It." And that, dear pupils, was not said by Elinor Glyn, nor of Clara Bow. It is a quotation from "Mrs. Bathurst" ("Traffic and Discoveries," 1904), by Rudyard Kipling. Historian's Peekly-Weekly Combined this week with "The Home Book of Movable Quotations," by Burton Egbert Stev- enson Graham. "YES, SIR, SKI'S MY BABY." Believed to refer toTwo-ski Toots of the North Woods, North Creek, N.Y. -known on the department store ski circuit as the Brown-eyed Belle of the Bronx. "TRACK FAST: WEATHER, ZOWIE!" Middle valve pusher downers attribute this pharse to the Whoa-ho-ho Temperature-watching Boys, who always come out about 8 degrees below below below. "AY, TEAR HER TATTERED OAR-LOCKS OUT!" Overheard at the two thousand nine hundred and fifty-fifth annual convention of the National Association of Outboard Motor and P't-p't-p't-p't-p't-p't-p't-p't Manufactur- ers held in connection with the six hundred and ninety-second and two-fifths annual Motor Boat Show.

"FRED ALLEN FOR THE SMILE OF BEAUTY, Fred Allen for the Smile of Health." This is a slogan often heard on the radio. It means that you must, if you wish to continue to hear it, rush right out and buy a tube of some- thing, or a bottle of something, the name of which can be ascertained when Harry von Something comes on and says, "Remember - Fred Allen for the Smile of Beauty, Fred Allen for the Smile of Health."" "I DIDN'T RAISE MY BOND TO BE A BABY." Senator Bonus R. Shrugg made this admission in referring to his bill to repeal the Dionne quintuplets. The bill was eventually defeated in the Baby Senate, to the great relief of traders on the Big Baby Board in New York. "BOONDOGGLING OUR WAY OUT." The coiners of the expressions "Hello, you Old Potato!" and "Grass will grow in the streets" ought to get together with the author of this one. For if three heads are better than none, they ought to be able to co-author the long- needed "What this country needs is a good five-cent phrase-maker with a better path beaten to his door than his mouse-trap building neighbor who does a heap-o-'living in a house by the side of a road." THE SCREEN AT THE MAJESTIC "CAPTAIN BLOOD" A Warner Brothers picture starring Errol Flynn and OliviasDe Havilland with Lionel Atwill, Basil Rathbone, Ross Alexander, Guy Kibbee, etc. From doctor to slave to pirate to colonial governor - that's the story of the amazing adventures of Peter Blood told in the current cinema at the Majestic. Errol Flynn, appearing in the title role, is a welcome addition to the American screen and does a fine job. Olivia de Havilland as Miss Bishop, niece of the governor of Port Royal, is very satisfying --talented and beautiful. The governor is played by Lionel Atwill who is at his best in just such a part; Guy Kibbee and Basil Rathbone stand out among the pirates, the former furnishing the comedy relfef. One criticism is that the scenery is often too obviously false. Naturally it has to be false, but the nearer it approaches perfection the less it is distracting. The show was produced on a grand scale with a large cast and periodic reproductions that are well done. The story opens with the Mon- mouth rebellion against King Janes II of England, in which Peter be- comes involved because he, as a doc- tor, treated a rebel. For this he is sent with a number of others to Port Royal to be sold as a slave. Miss Bishop feels sorry for him and buys him herself for 10 pounds, and he is put to work on her uncle's gang with a number of others. Together they plot escape and when the city is taken by a Spanish ship they steal the ship and become pirates, for they are men without a country. Peter becomes the most notorious pirate in the Caribbean, but is a merciful one who forces his men to follow a set code in their profession. Miss Bishop is captured and held for ransom by Captain Lavasseur (Basil Rathbone), another pirate who is less concerned with codes, but Peter ransoms her and kills Lavas- seur. He then sails for Port Royal to drop her at her home, and on the way is informed that James has been dethroned i favor of William of Orange; that Peter and his men have all been pardoned and given a chance to join his majesty's navy. When they find the French attacking Port Royal the new members of the British navy save the city. Governor Bishop is put out of office because he was away with the fleet when the French attacked, Blood is given the post, and the romance between Peter and Miss Bishop comes to a happy conclusion. One of the best Mickey Mouse car- toons is included in the accompany- ing shorts. -B.K. RADIO By TUURE TENANDER It is gratifying to see that Hal Kemp is at last receiving the atten- tion and praise of the dancing crowds of New York City and the East as a whole. This personable orchestra leader has really a fine band, and it has been recognized as such for a number of years by radio listeners of the Middle West and the South, but until this last year the only people in the eastern part of the country who really appreciated Kemp were the so-called "band-bugs." Hal is a master arranger and has done much to create the inimitable style for which his band is known. In addition to his Sunday night com- mercial with Phil Baker, Hal Kemp 'can be heard on a sustaining broad- cast every Monday and Wednesday night. John Charles Thomas, who will soon appear in Ann Arbor in the Choral Union Concert series, is re- ceiving much acclaim for his Wednes- day night performances. We listened in last week and were not disap- pointed. His homey, simple but pow- erful, voice has a somewhat unde- finable quality which attracts the listener. Here's an apportunity to hear what musical organizations in other schools are doing. The Bucknell University Glee Club is broadcasting at 1 p.m. Thursday from WABC, and the Princeton University Glee Club will be on the air at 4 p.m. Saturday. However, if your exams conflict with these broadcasts, it'll probably be more advantageous to go to your exam. Starting Thursday, a daily resume of the winter Olympics will be broad- cast from Garmisch, Germany, at 6:30 p.m. over WMAQ. Now we will be able to hear directly how Walter Bietila, a sophomore at the Univer- sity, makes out in the ski-jumping competition. On midnight every Monday Budd Hulick and his orchestra is featured in a broadcast with Morton Downey over WJR. Budd is a member of that famous comedy team of Stoop- naal n rlRo,,l rh lawn _ -a SUNDAY, FEB. 2, 1936 j VOL. XLVI No. 92 Notices Registration Notice: During the period from Wednesday noon to Fri- day noon (Feb. 12-14 students may register only for themselves individ- ually with the following two excep- tions, namely: (1) The registrant may bring the registration blanks of one or more fellow students whose names fall within the same published alphabet- ical subdivision as his own. (2) He may register for students' outside his own alphabetical group (not for himself) during the period or periods alphabetically allotted to such other student or students. Obviously if registrations were to be attempted in more than one al- phabetical group at once the whole endeavor to save time by the alpha- betical grouping would break down. During Friday afternoon or Sat- urday morning, registrants may reg- ister for others besides themselves, as these two half days have not been al- lotted to any specific group. This announcement is to clarify any misunderstandings which have arisen and to cancel any announce- ments contrary hereto. Shirley W. Smith, Vice- President and Secretary. LaVerne Noyes Scholarships: Hold- ers of LaVerne Noyes Scholarships during the first semester should in- terview Dr. Frank E. Robbins, 1021 Angell Hall, at once if they desire scholarship aid for the second se- mester. To Faculty and Students: Atten- tion is called to the following By- Laws adopted by the Board of Re- gents in September, 1934: "Students should realize that their enrollment in the University carries with it obligations in regardto con- duct, not only inside but also out- side the classroom, and they are ex- pected to conduct themselves so as to be a credit both to themselves and to the University. They are amen- able to the laws governing the com- munity as well as to the rules and orders of the University and Uni- versity officials, and are expected to observe the standards of conduct ap- proved by the University. Whenever a student, group of stu- dents, society, fraternity or other student organization fails to observe the principles of conduct as above outlined, or conducts /himself or it- self in such a manner as to make it apparent that he or it is not a de- sirable member of the University, he or it shall be liable to disciplinary action." Attention is also called to the fol- lowing announcement made by the University Committee on Student Conduct in September, 1934: "It is the opinion of the University that the use of intoxicating liquors in a fraternity house has a tendency to impair the morale of the organiza- tion and is contrary to the best in- terests of both the fraternity itself and of the University." Joseph A. Bursley, Chairman University Committee on Student Conduct. Automobile Regulation: Those stu- dents who possess driving permits is- sued during 1935 and have failed to renew them, are requested to do so immediately. This request applies to those who will use their 1935 State license plates until August 1, as well as to those who have purchased 1936 plates. All old student permit tags are void as of Feb. 1, 1936 and their continued use will constitute grounds for disciplinary action. Applications for renewals must be made at Room 2, University Hall and new sets of permit tags will be issued at no addi- tional cost. K. E. Fisher.
