NIGHT EDITOR: BERNARD WEISSMAN We're Going To The Pep Meeting... WE ARE ALL going over to Pep Meet- ing tonight! The Band is going, the cheerleaders are going,, the Glee Club is going. You had better come along too. There will be yelling, there will be singing, there will be speaking, but it is going to be short and snappy. Until last year Michigan was king of the Western Conference. We were good, but the trouble was that we knew we were good. This year we are good, but we don't know it. Michigan's football team is a great team, but they cannot win with an apathetic student body as their only support. The whole freshman class should spend today in studying their "bibles" and learning the songs and yells. The other classes might spend the day in limbering uIp the old voice with a few practice yelps. Then we'll all go over tonight, and by the Moses, we'll yell ourselves right into a Big Ten champion- ship. Let's revive the spirit that once was Michigan's we'll yell like hell and again be "the champions of the West." Michigan Needs Men's Dormitories... N THE PAST few years rooms for men students have been at a prem- ium. Not only have the prices of rooms risen, but the number available has steadily declined. This condition is partly due to the increased enrollment of men students and partly to the elimination of many rooming houses to make way for new Uni- versity buildings. A few years ago the University Hospital was the only building which was located off the campus proper. Now the East Medical Building, the Law Quadrangle, the College of Architecture and sev- eral others stand where rooming houses were for- merly located. The new graduate school will make even further inroads on rooming accommodations. This year room rents rose considerably, making the men who wish to enroll will be able to find accommodations. At Harvard a dormitory system similar to the ones employed at Oxford and Cambridge, has been inaugurated. Seven new buildings have been con- structed which accommodate from 200 to 290 students. The new structures are equipped with squash courts, swimming pools and other athletic equipment. It has c.ten been said that in large universities the individual is lost among thousands." The new dormitory system as devised at Harvard was in- stituted partly to provide the benefits gained from a small college by closer association of students and instructors. The fees charged by colleges for dormitory rooms and meals do not exceed the prices now being paid by many students to Ann Arbor landladies and restaurants; needless to say, the quality, on the whole, is better in the col- leges. The University of Michigan has already suc- cessfully operated dormitories in the Law School. There is no reason why a similar system could not be devised to include the other schools and colleges. Students will not be bull-dozed into paying exhor- bitant prices for rooms with barely one comfort- able chair. A dormitory system of some sort will soon be forced by the enrollment which is in- creasing every year. The U.S. Must Avoid War.. . P RESIDENT ROOSEVELT recently said at San Diego that the United States was sternly determined "to avoid those perils that will endanger peace.'' These words sound ominously like the campaign slogan of the late President Wilson: "he kgept us out of the war." Not that we are placing the blame for the last war on President Wilson, nor the blame for a future war on President Roosevelt, but the general atmosphere is too tense to be pleasant. The Italo-Ethiopian war is going to be one that will arouse emotions. Italy is committing an act of unjust aggression, but peoples of the United States should not become so aroused that they want to fight. As one reads reports of the war, it must be borne in mind that much- of the news originates in the propaganda departments of either Italy or Ethiopia. There will .,be tales of cruelty, stores of he murder of women and little chillren and reports of mutilations. Perhaps there will be truth in some of these reports, perhaps there will not. In any event the dispatches from the African front should be read with the tongue firmly pressed in one cheek. One has only to recall the reports of, German cruelties in the World War to see the workings] of wartime propaganda. Every effort will be made to swing World Opinion to one side or the other. At present Ethiopia has the rest of the world on her side, prolably justly so, but the war frenzy must not gain ground in the United States. The stage is set for another World War. Great pritain may at any moment clash with Italy, and it would take but a spark to send other nations in. '.here may arise a situation in which it will appear that it is to the advantage, is a necessity, for the United States to enter a war. Remember that it appeared that way in 1917, but our net profit was the loss of many lives and many dollars. War can never pay. A Washington BYSTANDE R By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. AS THE SUPREME COURT membership regath- ered in Washington for the fateful October term, these facts about the justices were worth re- calling: Five of the nine now are eligible by age and length of Federal bench service for retirement at their own request. Six of them range in age between 69 and 79 years. There is no hint that either through retirement or because of ill health there will be any change in the personnel of the court as it takes up per- haps the most far-reaching and comprehensive task of constitutional interpretation of Federal powers in history. It is the same court that unan- imously overthrew NRA on constitutional grounds. Week by week, month by month, since the court recessed for the summer the march of Constitu- tional issues through the lower courts toward this crucial session has proceeded. New Deal recovery and reform innovations have forced the issue. New Deal legal lights have been mobilized with the idea of bringing it to the earliest possible court conclusion. * * * * Import Of Change AMPLE GROUND thus has been laid for such decisions during the October term as will clarify. the constitutional questions involved for any sub-, sequent political action which might be sought. That fact serves to center attention on the jus- tices as perhaps never before. It serves also to make it certain that any change on the bench due to retirement or death of a justice would be now matter of special, perhaps historical significance. And with six of nine justices at or beyond the traditional three-score-and-ten year life span, early changes are to be expected. That feeling is reflected in the rumors flitting about Washington constantly as to the health or retirement intentions of various justices. The best available information, however, indicates that all nine expect to be in their places throughout the term. That any of them in the circumstances would contemplate vacating his seat except for gravest reasons of health or because of political allurements such as Senator Borah so greatly deprecated is hardly thinkable. Rumor On Robinson THERE have been few instances when more than two or three years elapsed between su- preme court appointments. Most men have at- tained that position of legal eminence only at ad- vanced age. The last appointment was by Presi- dent Hoover in 1932, already three years ago. If rumor has it right, Senator Joe Robinson is an attentive student of Supreme Court history, past or present. He is supposed to aspire toward rounding out his public career on the highest bench should a vacancy occur. The fact that he stands already committed to New Deal theories of the flexibility of the constitution to meet national emergencies might be an important factor in his favor. As Others See It Don't Give Up The Ship Too Soon- (From the Indiana Daily Student) LAST SATURDAY afternoon while the curtain was being raised all over the country on a col- orful season of intercollegiate football matches, an event of importance took place at Elsah, Ill. Knox college, loser in 27 consecutive football games, won its first game in four years, defeating Principia college. The small college deserves credit for the deter- mination and will to win it has shown during its gridiron depression. Despite the ridicule poked at it by thousands and the sarcasm it has borne from hosts of sports writers, the school has carried on in fine fashion. The coach has been retained, can- didates for the team have reported every season and a full schedule has been drawn up each year. There seems to be a lesson behind Knox's pe- culiar record for every college football fan in the nation. A memory of the Illinois college's last four years carried to all the gridirons will go far toward easing the hurt of one or two losses during the coming season. Intelligence Or Force? (From the Denver Clarion) THE ENFORCEMENT of freshman regulations and campus traditions have, at least, after many years of slow growth taken a turn for the better in that a policy of cooperation is to replace a policy of force. Colleges are at last realizing that coercion is not the method to employ and those who have insti- gated a plan of cooperation are to be congratulated. Nothing in the past could repay the injuries suf- fered in some of the so-called free-for-alls. And although there still remain a few who are barbaric enough to long for the "good old days' 'they are in the minority. Let this minority scoff, as they will, at the new trend which is being ushered in on this campus, be- cause they refuse to weigh the facts of this case which experience in past years has brought to light. We have taken a step forward, let's not slip back. Italy Vs. Jimmie (From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) WHEN YOUNG JIMMIE DONAHUE yelled "Viva Ethinnia!" at aFacist meeting- in Rome, the TOASTED ROLLS WAR!# Toasted Rolls announces the ad- dition of a special new dept., the WAR DEPT., to cover the doings of Benito and Haile and all their hench- men in Africa. Toasted Rolls will,as usual, be first with the news of the dramatic new chapter of history, news from the front, news from the side, news from the back. Faced with the problem of getting expert coverage of the little diplo- matic incidents occurring in Ethiopia without going down there ourselves, now that the hay fever season has just ended up here, we cabled Haile Selassie to secure his services as special war correspondent for Toast- ed Rolls. When the cable first reached the Great Man, he waxed wroth. Legally changing a slave's name to Jabber Wock, he had him burned in oil, then beheaded, just to how how he felt. He said he was slightly peeved at America in general.. "America let me down when I was trying to pour oil on these troubled waters," an American quoted the fulminations of the Conquering ,Lion of Judah, "I was motivated only by the Stand- ards of international goodwill." But he finally agreed to send us a bylined cable each day in return for our promise to give him a chance at making a living as a regular Rolls reporter when the war is over, * * * * Meanwhile the Rolls Pherret took off at 3 a.m. this morning from South Ferry Field in the Rolls Phorecaster, after attaching wing surfaces and a propeller to the machine, which he has geared up to make special obser- vations of the war from the air. He was carrying a Univex pocket-camera with an f.1.9 Bausch & Lomb tele- scopic lens, and will radiophoto to Toasted Rolls the films he has spoiled each day. He received his final instructions from Jabber Wock at a downtown re- freshment parlor at 12:29 a.m. and upon taking off was observed to fly off in the general direction of Ypsi- lanti, pivot about the flagpole at the Stadium ,and then roar off into the darkness toward Northville after wagging his wings in salute as he passed over the Toasted Rolls build- ing on Maynard Street. It was thought that he was attempting to mislead Iffy, who, it was learned, will attempt to follow him to Africa. * * * WHAT ABOUT IFFY? At first we thought we would let Iffy run the weather and that stuff while the Pherret is in Africa, but finally we decided that, what with Saturday rains and the full moon to handle, we couldn't trust an amateur. So we had the Pherret build the Phorecaster Jr. before he left and show us how to run it. Something went wrong Thursday morning when a hailstone bounced off the peep- sight as we were "shooting the sun," but by adjusting the sand-storm com- pensator we were then able to get a somewhat retarded phorecast of the hurricane that struck the Bahamas last Monday. So it ought to work all right. ANNOUNCEMENT DEPT. Bring your best yells along, kiddies, and let's all attend the big pep meeting that the 1935-36 student goyernment - "Men's Council," I think they call it,- has rigged up for us. Even though they have decided not to have a bonfire, there'll be plenty of fire in the Varsity Saturday when they take on the Bachmanhand- lers, and are due to get plenty of support from the rest of the Uni- versity. No cuts, if you aren't there, Jabber'll mark you absent. WAR DEPT. By H. Selassie Hello, Everybody! Italian bombing planes hovered over Adua, Ethiopian outpost, early Thursday morning, dropped a few bombs, and generally annoyed my citizens. Inasmuch as the bombs, in exploding, killed a large portion of my favorite people, to say nothing of injuring many more, I have reported this to the League of Nations. I claim that this is a violation of the Euro- pean treaty in regard to Abyssinia, and constitutes an aggressive act on the part of the Italian Ogre. Aaaddis Aawahwah went wild last night at the news that the Cubs had taken the first game of the World Series 3-0, and we have declared that the day when no Italian soldier re- mains alive and free on our soil shall forever afterward be commemorated as Warneke Day. As a gentleman named Knicker- bocker and I sat listening to the radio reports of the game, a messenger brought word of a skirmish in our territory near the frontier with sev- eral thousand Italians who had lost their way. Several of my tribesmen were kind enough to show them home. Mr. Knickerbocker, who. I believe. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1935 1 VOL.

The purpose of the luncheorns, which are held semi- monthly, is to discuss informally the problems and work of the department, and to give an opportunity for an exchange of ideas. At the meeting yesterday, the over- crowding of the three sections of Speech 31 was the problem most dis- cussed. A registration of 300, the largest in its history, has made the course very drowded. After the meet- ing, Prof. Henry A. Sanders started work on organizing a numer of new sections, so that the number in all may be reasonably small, Plans were also put under way for the use of the University radio sta- tion's new sound-recording .equip- ment to record the efforts of students in the speech department, and so give them a greater chance for im- provement by allowing them to hear their own voices repeated. At the next meeting of the group, plans will be made for the annual intercollegiate speech contest.

Michigan Spirit To the Editor: I read with pleasure in this mpornipg's Daily that Michigan students of the present generation are at last making an effort to back the football team. It may be a sign of senility when one begins to think of the past, but I cannot help reminisce about the pep meetings that have been held in the past. We used to really get behind the Mich- igah football teams. I hope the present undergraduates will turn out for touight's rally and give Kipke and his boys a real send off. -09. Please Repeat To the Editor: Might I take advantage of your columns to suggest that there are many of us who saw the production of Farquhar's Beaux"Stratagem by the Nell Gwynn Players last year, who would appre- ciate very much the opportunity to see it presented once again. The fine performances turned in by Professors Hoekstra, Jones, and Patterson, and indeed by every member of the cast made the production not- able among last season's offerings. I do believe that a repeat performance would be enthusiastic- ally welcomed by all who were fortunate enough to see it last year, and by many who were so un- fortunate as to miss it. --S.D.M.
