The Problem
Of Dormitories.. .
D EAN OF STUDENTS Joseph A. Bur-
sley brought to the attention of the
Board of Regents last week the critical lack of
adequate rooming facilities for men students, and
the distinctly unfavorable effect the situation will
have on the future of the University unless it is
corrected soon through the construction of dorm-
itories.
Statistics presented by Dean Fred B. Wahr em-
phasize Dean Bursley's observations and show
that housing facilities are continually becoming
worse. Athough most men's rooming houses
in Ann Arbor cannot be accused of falling short of
the general requirements imposed upon them by
the University, they are usually semi-medieval in
architecture, plumbing, and heating. A shower
in a rooming house is a rare and precious thing.
In addition to improving the living standards
of most college students, men's dormitories would
give an added significance to the social existence
of students, particlarly freshmen. Women's
dormitories are able to offer their residents a social
life comparable to that of fraternities and soror-
ities, but beyond the sphere of the male rooming-
house student.
But it is unnecessary to dwell upon the undesir-
ability of the present situation and the benefits
of dormitories. It is not the question of whether
dormitories should or should not be constructed,
but quite clearly the question of how they are to
be obtained that must be solved.
It is a problem of especial importance to the
student, but also of great significance to the
whole University group from freshman to the most
distinguished faculty member or alumnus. Its
solution can be a matter of indifference to no one.
A Stout,
Jolly Gentleman,
T HE SCENE: London.
The time: Late in March, 1836.
The characters: A short, stout, jolly gentleman,
and his friends.
The plot: Robert Seymour had made a number
of sketches of cockney sporting scenes. As was
the literary custom of the day, a writer was hired to
write a description of the drawings that was to
fit them into a connected story.
A 25-year-old reporter was hired for the job
and so, 100 years ago, bald Mr. Pickwick made his

stately entrance upon the London scene. And
with him, London met Charles Dickens, famous
even now when the name of the illustrator has all
but been forgotten.
The young writer, unknown when the first copies
of the book were put on sale in the book-stalls,
was a national character before the twentieth
monthly installment had made its appearance. All
England read the Pickwick Papers, and laughed
at its burlesque of London life.
On Monday, a coach and four bearing a laugh-
ing party in high grey hats and greatcoats
set out, to the blowing of the hunting horn from
the site of the old Golden Cross Hotel in London
-- whence the first Pickwickian party started -
for Gad's Hill, the home of Dickens in his last
years.
Mr. Pickwick had turned 100 years old. One
hundred! Nonsense! He is as young as the spring
which even now is coming to the bright English
countryside, as young as he was when he followed
the hounds in the fashion of a man of the world,
and found difficulty in rpnuling t iha ,mrii -

Civil Service Reform
To the Editor:
Favorable as has been newspaper and public
comment throughout the entire state upon the
objectives and accomplishments of Professor Pol-
lock's Civil Service Study Commission, it is ironi-
cal that one of the few disparaging remarks
should come from Mr. Conlin, one of his former
students. Fortunately, there is no more than
irony in this, for Conlin's motives are easily ex-
posed. He took issue with Professor Pollock's
comparison of the demands upon the New Jersey
and Michigan governments, as represented by the
size of their respective populations and the extent
of their services, and the size of each of their
personnel systems, by indicating that there was a
difference of about 800,000 in the two populations.
"They are not equal," he said, "as Professor Pol-
lock contended."
Mr. Conlin must surely realize that these re-
marks of Professor Pollock's are but illustrative
of the fundamental idea, Michigan's great need
for civil service reform. By commenting as he does,
Conlin places himself in one of two categories,
either he is an opponent of civil service and is
disguising his dislike for it, or he is a misguided
supporter, desirous of making a correction which
he feels would aid the cause of which both he
and Professor Pollock are supporters. If he is
an opponent of civil service, no defense of that
reform is necessary here for University readers.
If he be a well meaning critic who agrees with
Professor Pollock's primary concern, he may be
answered easily by indicating that the news release
from Professor Pollock did not assert the popula-
tion of the two states are equal, but rather, "the
population of New Jersey and Michigan are not
far apart," and in more than one place referred
to the "differences" existing between the two,
but which were "insufficient to explain why Mich-
igan needs 3,509 more employes to conduct its
business.".
It would seem that Professor Pollock's general
contention, conceded as it is by students of pub-
lic administration who have compared personnel
practices in the two states, was well qualified by
these remarks to the press; and that not even
the slight distortion which they may have suffered
at the hands of the press would justify Mr.
Conlin's attack. If Mr. Conlin is an opponent
of civil service, it is to be expected that he would
never, in face of present public opinion, make
his real attitude clear. If he is but a misguided
supporter, he ought certainly to state his agree-
ment with the principle as emphatically as he criti-
cizes the method of its illustration, even though
his estimate of that method be, as shown, a
mistaken one.

Humor Is The Symbol Of Liberty
To the Editor:
Two recent comments on Charlie Chaplin's
"Modern Times" touch on interesting aspects of
that remarkable film - one in Sunday's New York
Times, the second in "A Londoner's Diary," a
weekly column in The New Statesman and Nation.
These items are not related to your timely inter-
view in Sunday's Daily on the psychological prob-
lem presented in the opening factory scenes; but
the points raised will, I feel sure, interest those
readers who have seen the picture.
Says the New York Times:
"One of the gags in 'Modern Times' is this:
Charlie Chaplin picks up a red flag that has
fallen from a truck and, without intending to1
do anything of the sort, suddenly finds himself1
leading a procession of strikers; thereby he
gets into a peck of trouble. Last week the film
was shown in Vienna - but the red flag inci-
dent was deleted."
Says the New Statesman and Nation:
"How wise of the German Government to
forbid the showing of the new Chaplin film!
The reason given is that it has Communistic
tendencies - though I have also heard it sug-
gested that Charlie's moustache might lead to
unfortunate comparisons with Adolph's. The
real reason is that it is a protest against every-

thing in contemporary civilization which
threatens a man's right to call his soul his
own. Mr. Chaplin stands for all a Nazi leader
said the other day the Nazis had killed -
'former false principles of humanity'. The
machine is the villain of this film. Mr. Chap-
lin has a place incomparably above every other
film actor or producer, because he has created
a legendary figure, probably the only accepta-
ble and accepted myth which our age has pro-
duced. This 'Charlie' has something of Don
Quixote, something even of Christ: he is the
Jack who kills the giant, the lamb who defeats
the slaughterers, the elastic indomitable spirit
which overcomes the rigidity of brute force.
It used to be merely strong and brutal men on
whom he turned the tables; now -it is ma-
chinery, not only cogs and pistons and the
moving belt, but the machinery of law. Again
and again we see him carried off in a police
van, only to emerge from gaol into the harsher
imprisonment of working life. And perhaps
the most moving moment in the film is when
the sirens of the reopened factory sound, and
Charlie leaves his romantic shack to submit
himself again to crucifixion by machinery.
That he should choose to do so signifies, I t
think, an enrichment of the myth -the indi- r
vidual admits the claim of the community, but I
the claim then becomes exorbitant. But for
the Nazi no such claim is exorbitant, and the p

EARLY UP, and to the train, and met Michael
Williams, and talked with him, and so to
my office, and read of a microscope, or a centri-
fuge, a weight multiplier which multiplies weight
250,000-fold, which will permit one to see the
structure of molecules. But discussing this with
some of the pressmen, it was agreed that in a
long and varied life the necessity never had
come up; albeit there were some who said that
it would be a good thing, if it could be applied
to human beings, especially as to souls, many
of them being so imponderable that it would
take such a multiplication of weight before they
could be weighed at all. Heard this afternoon
that Hitler had offered to have a truce in the
Rhine country for four months, a promissory
note that probably will be protested. So to the
country by train, and in the evening listened to
the broadcasts from Trenton, about the execu-
ion of Hauptmann that was to take place this
evening, but did not, and I thought that they
were morbid and that it was a sad thing that
the broadcasting companies thought that listeners
wanted to hear anything but the fact, yes or
no. But Mr. Boake Carter did say that the
whole thing was a disgrace to American juris-
prudence, which it is, and the only possible good
that may come of the mess is that is may arouse
that sluggish python, Public Opinion, to the idea
that there is politics in trees, politics in the run-
ning brooks, politics in stones, and politics n
everything. So to bed at nine o'clock.

THE SCREEN
WHILE THE AUDIENCE SUFFERS
. By RICHARD S. BRAWERMAN . .
THE REVIEW of The Prisoner of
Shark Island that appeared in
The Daily of April 5, suggests that
Warner Baxter and Gloria Stuart
turned in one of the finest perform-
ances of their careers in this pic-
ture, but that this picture was, after
all, not, drama but mere exploitation.
The general feeling of the critic is
pretty much the feeling that remains
with every one after seeing this per-
formance; but the critic in this case
as in most cases, does not press his
conclusion-the conclusion that the
picture is exploitation, not drama -
far enough.
If we grant that the immediate
purpose of all art, no matter what
its medium, is pleasure, there is some-
thing out of plumb somewhere when
a picture is more grueling and pain-
ful than pleasurable. And that is just
what this picture, The Prisoner of
Shark Island, is: there is nothing
pleasurable about it at all.
- It is true, certainly, that the act-
ing-style-in The Prisoner of Shark
Island is splendid; but we have just
as legitimate a right to ask what
Warner Baxter and Gloria Stuart are
acting as to ask how they are acting
it. Granted that the picture is the
story of Dr. Mudd, there are certainly
many scenes in this picture that are
scenes of suffering which might well
have been omitted, since they add
nothing to the progress of the action
There are the five minutes of tor-
turous drum-beating as the seven con-
demned are marched to the scaffold;
but Dr. Mudd is not one of them
There is the flash in which the au-
dience is shown the facial contor-
tions of John Wilkes Booth as he
writhes in pain while his foot is being
set by Dr. Mudd. But of what use
are such scenes as these-and at
least half the picture is bloated with
them? They are merely emotiona
I calisthenics, and leave the audience sc
absolutely exhausted that the nervous

I do not insist that every work
of a literary nature today have a very
definite form. There are many rea-
sons existing in contemporary society
that make such artistic achievement
t impossible ( one of them being the
ethical character of the modern so-
cial and economic system). But, in
the absence of form, I do expect a
literary production that falls back on
style alone to have a certain sim-
plicity and directness. After all, there
is a great deal of enjoyment to be
had from a story told for its own sake
and told neatly and succinctly. But

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
t 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 - taff members, students and
others - to contribute individual co-
operation to this effort to protect
University buildings against fires.
1 Notice to all Members of the Uni-
versity: The following is an extract
of a By-Law of the Regents (Chap-
ter III-Z, Sections 8 and 9) which
has been in effect since September,
1926:
"It will hereafter be regarded as
contrary to University policy for any
one to have in his or her possession
any key to University buildings or
parts of buildings if such key is not
stamped as provided (i.e. by the
Buildings and Grounds department)
If such unauthorized keys are found
the case shall be referred to the Dean
or the proper head of the University
division involved for his action in
accordance with this principle. Any
watchman or other properdrepresen-
tative of the Buildings and Grounds
Department, or any Dean, department
head, or other proper University offi-
* cial shall have the right to inspect
keys believed to open University
1 buildings, at any reasonable time or
place.
ha..a For any individual to order,
have made, or permit to be ordered
or made, any duplicate of his or her
University key, through unauthorized
channels, must be regarded as a spe-
cial and willful disregard of the safety
of University property."
These regulations are called to the
attention of all concerned, for their
information and guidance. Any per-
son having any key or keys to Uni-
versity buildings, doors, or other locks,
contrary to the provisionsurecited
above, should promptly surrender
the same to the Key Clerk at the
office of the Superintendent of Build-
ings and Grounds.
