PAGE FOUR THE MICHMAN DAILY SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 19x8 TiEMCIA AL SATURDAY, MARCH 21, Th3~ THE MICHIGAN DAILY day in commenting on the "malady," that it is pos- sibly a depletion of calcium In the system this time of year that willabe resupplied by a few weeks of sun. He said that medical science did not recog- nize any such "fever" as being any more than a general let-down after a long winter, and that this lassitude was usually short-lived. Spring is the time for writing poetry and for love. Which is worse? There'll be a lot of class cutting these first really warm days and we imagine the professors will understand, if they get to class themselves. The open road lures or beckons or whatever it is that the open road does in the spring. The call of the fishing rod and the hike is manifesting itself. Nature lovers and other kinds will wander through the early floral exuberai ce of the Arbore- tum and along the Huron River. Ann Arbor is a beautiful place this time of year and it is likely that the beauty of the scene will relegate such topics of conversation as politics, the Supreme Court decisions, and economics to other times and occasions. Yes, spring's here all right . . . We seem to be overcome suddenly by a smothering listlessness.

NIGHT EDITOR: ROBERT CUMMINS -Th fWrong This Time.. . LIKE THE ABSENT-MINDED pro- fessor and the colorful traveling salesman, the college student has been typed by the American public which is quick to associate him ;with gin parties, raccoon coats and rumble seats. This impression, as mistaken as it is, can hardly be called pernicious. If Kansan housewives like to imagine college men riding around in rumble seats hatless and wrapped up in raccoon coats, it probably isn't worth the trouble to shatter their illusions. And if Mississippi farmers have become acquainted with the American campus through the medium of ridiculous motion pictures of college life, they probably won't do anything malicious because they think that all one does at college is wait around for the next football game. There are, unfortunately, some who are harm- fully misinformed about college students. Evi- dence of this is the following excerpt from the editorial columns of the American Guardian, "Fearless and True," of Oklahoma City. "The am- ateur scab brigade is composed of riff-raff, slum dwellers, imbeciles, college students, and other un- desirable citizens." The role of the undesirable citizen is a new one for the college student and one that he is com- pletely miscast in, we think. The American Guar- dian has obviously taken a small and a typical group of undergraduates and used them as the basis for a statement that implies the utter useless- ness of higher education in this country. It is true that there are unthinking college students who do things as undesirable as joining scab brigades, but there are thousands of others who are good citizens located in social strata far above the riff-raff and slum dwellers imprecated by the American Guardian. Like the college professor who isn't at all for- getful and the travelling salesman who hasn't ever been inside of a farmhouse, we're going to defend that majority of college students who have been completely overlooked by the short-sighted Amer- ican Guardian, "Fearless," but not in this case "True." Ten Inches Of Spring . . . THIS IS THE TIME of year when 50,000 city editors say to as many re- porters, "Go out and get ten inches of spring." It's a topic you can't write about it in the ordi- nary news style. You can't say: "Spring came to the campus early today, according to the weather department." Nevertheless it is true. Spring did come to State St. this morning, for it is March 21, the first official day of the season. If no delicate green buds have yet been noticed on the oaks, they soon will be. Soon small creatures will be scud- ding through the green grass. Birds will look around for mates pretty soon now, will find them, and fly away together with something like "Where have you been all my life?" This is the season when the crack of the ball is heard against the bat and the ping of the tennis ball as it bounds from the racquet. Small boys' knees grimy from shooting marbles are the order of the day, and kites will be carried on the breeze into the blue. Ofnhp " tuns of emringAn- f hf nP saving kon I , .

Strife Against Whar To the Editor: In The Daily for Thursday, one of your edi- torials makes a plea for genuine neutrality legis- lation which would abandon the war provoking policy of "freedom of the seas" and be a step towards eliminating war. But you oppose this succession to the proposal of a strike in opposition to war. To desire the elimination of war, to desire neu- trality legislation which would keep us out of war is very fine. But how do you propose to achieve this desire? Genuine neutrality legislation will not come as a gift from nowhere; it will not come as a patriotic gesture from "the merchants of death." You admit in your editorial that thus far all the neutrality legislation passed by Con- gress and every activity by the government per- petuates that principle of "freedom of the seas" which must inevitably bring us into a war. You will admit that the forces opposed to real neu- trality legislation are tremendous, the mere fact that we have none as yet suggests that. What is the conclusion? You have stated it. "The marshalling of the forces of the pacifistst for the eradication of one of the most essential roots of war." How is this to be accomplished? We must think for peace, educate for peace, speak for peace, organize for peace and, by all means, make this organization felt. It is the organization and demonstration of the will for peace, against war, that the war-makers fear and which will con- vince Congress to take steps to enact genuine neutrality legislation. A student strike against war, for peace, should and could serve as an organizer and demonstrator of this will for peace. The strike should be spon- sored by our administration, by all the organiza- tions on the campus, by the Michigan Daily; classes should be dismissed at a specific hour; an all campus' rally should be held, whether indoor or outdoor does not make any essential difference; it should be in unison with similar activities all over the country - the general date set is April 22; it should be preceded and followed by a vigorous educational and organizational campaign -all di- rected towards marshalling and welding into- a unity the largest possible peace forces so that Congress can be made to realize that the students of America are actively demanding the passage of effective neutrality legislation and further steps toward the eradication of war. The Michigan Daily, which has spoken for peace, for keeping America out of war, for the forma- tion of a farmer-labor party, for the marshalling forces against wai'-can do no greater service to the students and people of our country than to undertake at the earliest possible moment an educational and organizational campaign for an all-campus student strike against war. -M.W.E. As Others See It The Conning Tower A ROMAN FLIRT Horace: Book I, Ode 5 "Quis multa gracilis te puer in rosa?" WHAT slender lad, reeking of scent, Now gives thee roseate embraces? For who dost thou, in blandishment, Bind thy gold locks in simple graces? Alas! how frequently he'll rue Thy heart so hard, thy soul sodowdy! His heaven that seems forever blue Tomorrow will be black and cloudy. Forlorn are they who see thee shine; Blinded who gaze at thee unloathing. I've hung upon the temple's line To dry, my sadly dripping clothing. Our Mr. Francis D. Perkins attended the old- instruments recital on Tuesday afternoon, hear- ing, among other things, the recorder. "Though probably few Shakespearean students have heard the recorder," he says, "most of them have read about it." Milton also is cited by Mr. Perkins, who might also have quoted Samuel Pepys. If Mr. Perkins, however, would like to hear the recorder played daily, he should visit the City and Country School, 165 West Twelfth Street, any afternoon, and hear the recorder well played by children from eight to thirteen years of age. Our Economist, Ex Dividend Sir: As the owner of one (1) share of stock in a golfelub recently passed to the happy hunt- ing fairways; and one (1) share of stock in a tennis club still struggling with the burdens of a 1927 mortgage; and one (1) share of stock in a squash club now reorganized beyond recognition, I wish to plop down on the side of those who want their surplus dividends now and the divil take 1940. Anyway, I think there s'too much worrying about the next generation and the next depression. A lot of people get to censoring my movies and banning my books and clipping my dividends for the common good and talking about freedom and liberty in the same breath. So I can't see "It Can't Happen Here" on the screen, and I can't squander my dividends on a new tennis racquet because in 1941 those divi- dends will be needed to keep the wolf from my door. I gotta stay down in the lower brackets because Henry Ford would still be a tinker if such a tax law had been in force in 1910 - and I am supposed to weep over that, too. Who knows whether we are happier now that Mr. Ford isn't a tinker? Or that the dividends I didn't get in 1928, nobody got in 1932? . . . Gosh - who knows anything these days? Yours for big juicy divi- dends. F.A.S. Jr. At Princeton has been organized the first chapter of the Veterans of Future Wars; and at Vassars the girls have formed the Association of Gold Star Mothers of Veterans of Future Wars., Look out, Mr. Hearst!

A film by the Marx Brothers exactly expresses the craziness of modern life, if "exactly" is a term that can be used for their inconsecutive antics: "It's my belief," says Groucho to Chico, "it's my belief that the missing picture is hidden in, the house next door." Chico objects to the theory: "There isn't a house next door," "Then we'll build one." - From "Monogram," by G. B. Stern, published March 16. So to see "Animal Crackers," which, with the anticks of the Brothers Marx, made me laugh long and loud. And I thought that the idea of looking for a stolen picture in a house and being unable to find it, and therefore building a house, on the chance that the picture might be in that house, as absurdly comick a notion as might be found in or out of Lewis Carroll. - From the Diary of Our Own Samuel Pepys, The World, October 23, 1928. Incidentally, the idea was not that of the brothers, but that of the Messrs. George S. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind. Quodlibetic (But the most pathetic Athletic of all, it seemed to me, was Gordon (Dusty) Rhodes. - Richard Vidmer in yesterday's Herald Tribune.

Often I feel such trinketry is vain As rouge upon an infant's ruddy cheek, WashingtonI Off The Record By SIGRID ARNE I REPRESENTATIVE Sol Bloom of New York sighed with relief when the new marine monument was in place here. He had assisted in ar- rangements. The monument had been difficult to execute, and had received much publicity because of its unusual de- sign: a large wave curling over into foam and above it a flight of sea gulls. Now Bloom wonders if that wave was wise. On one of the hottest days last summer he visited the monument to find a tramp asleep in the bronze wave, protected from the sun. On a recent snowy day he went there again. Another tramp was eat- ing his lunch in the wave, protected from the wind. REPRESENTATIVE John L. Mc- Clellan of Arkansas defines free- dom of speech with a story. "It's like this," he says. "One man walks down the street waving his arms and shouting 'This is my per- sonal right.' "Then he meets another man who dodges the waving arms and pro- tests, 'Sure, that's your right. But it ends where my nose begins.'" Huge canvas bags bulging with mail for the folks back home are stacked in most congressional of- fices these days. It's a campaign year and the canvas bags are to such a year what a robin is to March. REPRESENTATIVE Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts is still wondering whether the woman was' serious. She was a westerner and sat next to Mrs. Rogers at a luncheon. The talk turned to King Edward VIII. The westerner had heard his speech to his nation. "How was he?" asked Mrs. Rogers.1 "Fine," said the woman, "but, you know, he has a marked English ac- cent.' Representative Martin F. Smith of Washington smiled happily as a congressional colleague paid him a compliment before a group of people. He bowed and replied: "I have always thought Chaun- cey M. Depew was right when he said that he would rather have taffy while he was living than epitaphy after he was dead." ENATOR Joseph F. Guffey of Penn-1 sylvania received no warmer wel- come here than that given him byf Senator F. Ryan Duffey of Wiscon- sin. Guffey soon learned the reason. "Guffey" and "Duffey" sound so much alike that in the interim be- tween the Pennsylvanian's election and his arrival here Duffey vas con- stantly called to the phone by Penn-1 sylvanians who wanted jobs. Then Guffey arrived. A few nights1 later his phone rang at 2 a.m. and her ran down the chilly hall wondering what was up in Pittsburgh. "CHello, senator," said a man's voice. "Can you tell me who's going to be postmoster at Fond du Lac, Wiscon- sin?" Whenever the House is in ses- sion, a handsome mace topped by a silver eagle is in place on the speaker's dais. When the Houser adjourns at night, the mace is1 carefully deposited in a safe.- When the House merely recesses -a technicality which permits the representatives to concentrate on the business at hand-the mace remains in place all night and a policeman is assigned to' guard it. I'l - ,. SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1936 Vol. XLVI No. 120 Notices Smoking in University Buildings Attention is called to the general rule that smoking is prohibited in Univer- sity buildings except in private offices and assigned smoking rooms where precautions can be taken and control exercised. This is neither a mere arbitrary regulation nor an attempt to meddle with anyone's personal habits. It is established and enforced solely with the purpose of preventing fires. During the past two years there have been twenty fires in University buildings, seven of which were at- tributed to cigarettes. To be effec- tive, the rule must necessarily apply to bringing lighted tobacco into or through University Buildings - in- cluding such lighting just previous to going outdoors. Within the last few years a serious fire was started at the exit from the Pharmacology Building by the throwing of a still lighted match into refuse waiting removal at the doorway. If the rule is to be en- forced at all its enforcement must be- gin at the building entrance. Further, it is impossible that the rule should be enforced with one class of persons if another class of persons disregards it. It is a disagreeable and thankless task to 'enforce' any rule. This rule against the use of tobacco within the buildings is perhaps the most thank- less and difficult of all, unless it has the willing support of everyone con- cerned. An appeal is made to all persons using the University build- ings - staff members, students and others - to contribute individual co- operation to this effort to protect Unigrsity buildings against fires, Faculty, College of Engineering: The adjourned meeting of the faculty to consider the report of the Com- mittee on Coordination and Teaching is called for Monday, March 23, at 4:15 p.m., in Room 348, West Engi- neering Building.

Ten Years Ago From The Daily Files March 21, 1926 Comparatively Sensible (From the Purdue Exponent) PRINCETON UNIVERSITY students have organ- ized a society known as "The Veterans of Fu- ture Wars," and Vassar University women an- nounced that an auxiliary organization had been formed simultaneously and will be known as the "Gold Star Mothers of Veterans of Future Wars." The societies were reported as having requested an immediate payment of a thousand dollar bonus to each member, in view of the fact that government payment of bonuses always precede the date on which they are due. Payment was urged on three counts: (1) The present generation will undoubted- ly be summoned to participate in a future war; (2) An immediate payment would tend to relieve the current monetary strain and end the depression; and (3) An opportunity should be afforded the future veterans to allow enjoyment of the bonus before they are subjected to the possibility of being killed in conflict. A note of sarcasm was detected in the announce- ment yesterday that the Gold Star Mothers of Vas- sar would ask for trips abroad so that they would have the opportunity to inspect the prospective graves of their future sons.
