I Answer To 'Observer'
To the Editor:
Your observations deserve pay; not as much pay
as Arthur Brisbane's, but pay nevertheless. How-
ever, I can't imagine who might pay you, because
you certainly agreed with me that the Counselor
and the Professor did injustice to the specific case
before them; and as for defending the Counselor
and the Professor otherwise, as you seem to be do-
ing most of the time -I could have done a much
better job. Many of your observations are lies -
lies pure and simple. I advise the Observer to get
more expensive spyglasses.
Although I regret The Daily's having accepted
such an inaccurate and untruthful Observer's ar-
tile, I regret more that I feel urged to defend
- it no longer being necessary to defend the prin-
ciple - my personal self. I can, in this instance,
best defend myself by reviewing the evidence.
So far, the following reasons to justify the
Counselor's and the Professor's denunciations have
been proved to consist of air with a prejudice for
background: -
The fact that every other student might have
distributed literature likewise. Lack of permission
that should have been obtained. The janitor ex-

"dueation. .

A TRICKLE of correspondence in the
past week has indicated a current
interest in sex education. The presence of a
young woman on the campus this week interrogat-
ing students in the preparation of material for
a book on undergraduate sexual adjustment makes
the subject doubly timely.
Since the war, the subject has been faced real-
istically; within our own generation, it has been'
faced without self-consciousness. The change in'
adult attitudes toward sex ought to be reflected
in the education of children toward these saner
attitudes, instead of having them left, as they are,
to the same haphazard undiscriminating sources of'
information from which youths piece together
their knowledge.
Speaking as undergraduates, we regret, some of
us bitterly, the fact that information of sex along
both ethical and pragmatic lines has not been
forthcoming from sources which we could respect.
We believe that the University can help future
generations immeasurably, if it will.
When it was suggested that a section on sex be
included in the Spring Parley discussions, so many
objections were raised that the group was changed
to a discussion of the family. Perhaps it was just
as well, for little might have been accomplished
with a large group, meeting only once, and then
to exchange opinions rather than to gain informa-
tion.
One lecture on sex hygiene is given each year
to freshmen, but its intention is to acquaint
students with the nature of venereal diseases,
rather than to give general information, physiol-
ogical and psychological, of the nature of the sex-
ual process.
We do not recommend a course on the subject;
not only would it be out of the proper jurisdiction
of the college, but we think it is the improper
approach to the problem. More can be accom-
plished, we believe, in small discussion groups,
meeting several times together, with an authority,
perhaps from the faculty of the medical school
directing it. Thus, by conversation with the stu-
dents, the leader will not be speaking of ethical
problems over their heads or beyond their in-
terest, but can steer himself to answer questions
authoritatively which students want answered and,
for which they are at present searching haphaz-
ardly.
Thus if three faculty members, perhaps five,
would volunteer to give each one evening each week,
to a group of six students who would meet together
for perhaps three consecutive weeks to learn of
some ethical, psychological and physiological as-
peots of sexual relationships, several hundred un-
dergraduates each year could arrive at a sounder
personal adjustment. The work could be entirely
optional, without credit; separate divisions could
be maintained for men and women.
With greater knowledge would follow a decline
in the popularity of the experimental method; with
a true appreciation of the psychical potentialities
of this, the most intimate of human relationships,
would come a disgust with promiscuity; on the
basis of trusted knowledge and realistic conven-
tions can be built a sound ethical structure.
"This is to.inform you that the League of Yellow
Journalists has elected you Honorary President
stop." So ran a telegram sent last-week to William
Randolph Hearst by a group of Harvard scriveners
organized to exploit patriotism and instigate for-
eign wars.

pense on account of the papers was mentioned.
The fact that the Counselor had to disclaim re-
sponsibility for the student's act that he con-
demnd immoral. The point stating that the
matter concerned itself entirely with the questiont
of the existence of a right. And the latest reasons
are: That there exists a "sore point of dispute be-c
tween the student body and the administration,"''
and therefore the Counselor and the ProfessorI
jumped (Observer's word) at the student because
both parties knew of it. In other words, the stir-
ring up of "old quarrels": Would it not have been
better to let sleeping dogs lie? Secondly, that
the "attitude and manner of the student pro-
voked such procedure," such jumping by the twoj
men. *
Apart from the consideration whether or not
there is a "sore point of dispute between the stu-
dent body and the administration," (apparently
the Observer is extremely inaccurate when he says
"student body") - I myself urge that it certainly{
would have been better to let sleeping dogs lie. But
since the student did not, couldn't the Counselor
and the Professor have done so on their part?
Certainly we must expect as much from two of
our best men as from one of our careless stu-
dents. Especially at our Spring Parley.
As for the attitude and manner of the student:
Observer, here you are not inaccurate-far from
it: Here you are so prejudiced that virtually the
height of decency becomes to you provoking. In-
deed, to a fair-minded person your statement is
an irritating falsehood. That calm, highly sin-
cere and sensible defense, a defense worthy of
being spoken by either the Counselor or the Pro-
fessor, that the student delivered at the ParleyC
provoked you immensely. I suppose you at once
flew to your definite conclusion that the student's
act could mean one and only one thing: a slap
in the face of the administration! How childish!
How short the space from prejudice to provocation
to lies!
Among the few other direct falsehoods youf
speak: That I stated (oh, I'll even make it hinted,
imagined) that there was no chance for free and
intelligent discussion at the Parley. Such a state-
ment is a completely irrelevant blow from be-
hind. I ought not condescend to refute sheer lies.
Even your use of quotation marks is false; they
give the uninitiated reader false convincing ideas.
But I won't even call you names, not even you!
I am not accusing anyone; I am merely stating
facts.
The heart of the question you know, but you1
won't say. Weak heart. Instead you go to the
tongue of the question, the tongue pushing on oneI
cheek.
The reference to the students asked-not-to-re-
turn was entirely uncalled for. I am in complete
100% agreement with Professor Jones on this mat-
ter. (He expressed his opinion at the Parley).
You need indeed be afraid if you, a mere aspiring
observer, are already determined to handle this
specific case as our two elders did. They wouldn't
repeat themselves.
I had not thought that our cathedral of edu-
cation harbored an observer to represent the height
of ignorance. "Colleges fail in spiritual and moral
training"-(in the editorial right below your ar-
ticle)-you, I sincerely believe,.are a fine example.
But equally important, I must add: Our education
fails in so far as it does not succeeed in training the.
future observer's mind and will to judge the spe-
cific instance.
I profoundly regret that Mr. Blakeman and Pro-
fessor Jones, two of our leading and best University
men, had to bear by disparaging words. It is per-
haps needless to inform the readers of The Daily
that my invidious remarks confined and do con-
fine themselves to one specific incident. Also, it is
no doubt needless to inform the readers of The
Daily that "Nothing shall warp me from the belief
that every man is a lover of truth." ... I hbpe, dear
Observer, that with the aid of more expensive spy-
glasses your twitches of conscience will untwitch
themselves
-Louis Deutsch,
P.S. 1 Even though an intelligent conscience
is a disqualification for success, Emerson would
advise you not to rob your conscience.

TO JOHNNIE
Loose him and let him go - the swift years beckon;
His arm slips free from your shoulder, his hand
from your hand;
His feet are set for the miles you can never reckon;
His mind is quick with the hopes you'd not under-
stand.
What if your heart is empty? - his will be filling;
What if your eyes are clouded? - his will shine;
What if your night seems close and the winter
chilling?-
Summer-warm is his blood, and his air like wine.
No, you'll not call him back - for he would not
hear you;
No, you'll not clutch at his hand --for he would
not stay;
Forget if you can the months when he was near
you;
Never remember the place where a dear head lay.
Loose him and let.him go -it is life's old story:
He must go on up the hill, with you left behind;
The youth that was ever a song, the love that,
was glory,
Go with him and pass from the sight that your1
tears leave blind. HOPEOF.,
Social security may be, as Assemblyman JamesI
J. Wadsworth says, a myth; but who wants social
security, that paralysis of effort? Shakespeare,

wtihout the pressure of necessity? What did social,
security do to the late Finley Peter Dunne? As
soon as he inherited enough money, so that he
didn't have to work, he quit.t

Without a dime's worth of social security. t

HISTORIANS' PEEKLY-WEEKLY
What Some Prominent Pulitzer Prize Losers Said:
NEGUS R. NEGUSTI, war correspondent: "The
Ethiops might have won if it hadn't been for1
errors in the infield, poor pitching, a certainI
weakness at the bat, and a tendency not to score
as many runs as the other fellow."
GENEVA H. FRET, peace correspondent: "TheI
Ethiops, so-called because of the shortage of last
syllables during the early days of the late un-
declared hostilities, are certainly a funny race,'
parlez-vous, parlez-vous. The League of Nations,
try as it might, could not get them to use slogans.
If the Ethiops, for instance, had adopted such
phrases as 'Food will Win the Fracas,' or 'Thet
Sanctions Heard Round the World,' or *Don'tI
Shoot Till You See the Wops of Their Eyes,' theI
League could easily have made the world safer
for something, possibly Pari-mutuel. Look at
what Mussolini achieved with the phrase: 'Veni,
Vidi, Voguey - now combined with Vanity
Fair!' "
O. I. DIPHTHONG, Wall Street reporter: "I ex-
pected two awards this year: One for my exclu-
sive story on how the bottom fell out of Keglined
Can; and another for telling the president of
the Wonderful One-Hoss Shay a gag so funny
that, for one reason or another, he nearly col-
lapsed."'
FLOYD W. FORFEIT, old age revolving reporter:I
"What this country could stand is a PulitzerI
Prize for the invention of a good five-cent in-
secticide capable of exterminating (a) the phraseI
2nd Smash Week, and (b) the all-star revolving
sidewalk barkers operating outside movie the-
aters."
J. J. J. ATTACHE, unattached: "How about a prize
for the press photographer who, in the opinion
of the judges (Arturo Toscanini and Nicholas
Murray Butler), best fails to 'get that picture!'?"
ROGERS HORNSBY, poet: "Watch the Browns in
1937. Or 1938. Or 1939. Or 1966."
HARRY TID-BITS, song-writer: "There is no
Pulitzer Prize for song-writing, so you can't

call me a loser, good or bad. But let me sing you
a new theme song I have just written for Station
WEAF: 'WEAF no more, my lady, oh WEAF no
more today!' "
D. S. TIME, novelist: "My book, 'Honey in the
Hornet,' did not win first prize because of a
mixed metaphor on page 167. My book 'Sugar in
the Sour Grapes,' was disqualified because of
realism or Nature in the Raw. But am I dis-
couraged or sore? Never. Time toddles ON!"
YE OULDE AL GRAHAM.
The President was convinced that between 500,-
000 and 1,000,000 homes could be sold immediately.

A good many already have been sold under the
w. k. hammer.

Mr. Johnny Green says "You speak of the Sea-
man song, 'Champagne Charlie.' It was heard in'
'Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde.' It was sung by Miss
Miriam Hopkins, and was called 'Champagne Ivy.'"
We didn't speak of the Seaman song. We said that
reference had been made to the song in a poem
written by the late Sir Owen Seaman.

CARACTACUS, a dramatic cantata
in six scenes, words by H. A. Ac-
worth and music by Edward Elga,
was written for the Leeds Musical
Festival of 1898. The scene of the
story, which is based partly on his-
torical fact and partly on tradition,
is laid in England and later in Rome,
at the time of the Roman occupation
of Britain. The legions of the Em-
pire have subdued the inhabitants
throughout the South, East and cen-
ter of England, and Caractacus
(Keith Falkner, leader of the Brit-
ons, is forced to withdraw with his
remaining forces to the Malvern
Hills, near the Welsh frontier, where
he establishes a camp. His daugh-
ter, Eigen (Jeanette Vreeland), and
her Druid lover, Orbin (Paul Alt-
house), conveyato him the warning
of a Druid Maiden nt to advance
into the open country against the
Romans. However, the next night
when the omens are taken at a
solemn assembly of the Druids, the
Arch-Druid (Julius Huehn), deceives
the King into believing that he will
be successful in making an attack--
a deceit against which Orbin pro-
tests, thus causing his expulsion by
the Druids. He bids farewell to
Eigen and takes refuge among the
forces of Caractacus, who has re-
solved to attack the Roman legions
in a last desparate attempt to free
England from their domination. But,
true to the warning of the Druid
Maiden, the British army is routed,
and Caractacus, with his family and
Orbin, fall into the hands of the
enemy. Taken to Rome, the captives
are brought before the tribunal of
the Emperor Claudius and con-
demned to death. But Claudius
(Julius Huehn), despite the san-
gtinary cries of the Roman populace,
is touched by their intrepidity and
pardons them, assigning them as
honorable residence in Rome.
The music through which this
simple but stirring story is unfolded
possesses a unique charm. The mel-
odies are distinctive, perhaps be-
cause of Elgar's stimulating rhyth-
mical variety and complexity. The
vocal parts display that deft and
careful handling of the voice which
characterizes so much of the work
of English composers. Orchestrally,
too, the work is well written and
possesses a vigor which combines
with the other elements to make a
most thrilling and dramatic setting
of this ancient British tale.

ART

OVERTURE TO RUSSLAN and
LUbMILLA (Glinka). In Russlan and
Ludinilla, Glinka, the founder of the
Russian national school, drew upon
the folklore of his counrry for his
story, and upon the music of the
East for much of his musical color.
The Overture, however, written in
the classical form, shows very little
musical connection with the opera
itself save in thenCoda, the theme of
which plays an important part
throughout the work.
THE CHILDREN AT BETHLE-
HEM - This charming, typically
French piece of work by Gabriel
Pierne was written not only about
children and to be sung by children,
but also to be heard and enjoyed
by children. It tells the old, old
story of the Star of Bethlehem from
a child's viewpoint and in a child's
language. A group of children, play-
ing and singing in the fields near
Bethlehem, are interrupted in theeir
merriment by the coming of the
Star, who tells of the birth of the
Christ Child. Led by three of their
number, the children follow the Star,
bearing their simple gifts to the In-
fant Jesus. On their way to Beth-
lehem they encounter the magnifi-
cent procession of the Magi, and
are enthralled by its brilliance and
splendor.
Part Two shows us the stable, two
of whose inhabitants, an Ox and an
Ass, muse upon the strange happen-
ings of the night while the Virgin
watches and sings over the Child.
The children come, br'inging their
gifts and worshipping the Babe, and
the Wise Men are seen again, this
time to the naive amazement of the
Ox and Ass. Returning, the chil-
dren chant a soft lullaby, and the
tender, exquisite works ends as it
began, in the quiet peacefulness of
the fields.

ISLAMIC ART EXHIBIT
ALUMNI MEMORIAL HALL
By JEWEL W. WUERFEL
Ann Arbor art patrons are being
given a rare opportunity of viewing,
a collection of excellent Islamic Art
decorative pieces first hand at the
exhibition now on display in Alumni
Memorial Hall through the auspices
of the University Research Seminary
in Islamic Art.
The exhibit includes rugs of thet
15th, 16th and 17th 'centuries, tex-
tiles of the 16th and 17th centuries,
the height of the artistic culture of
weavers in Persia, pottery of the 12th
and 13th centuries, bronze pieces-
from 1000 B. C. and miniatures from
the 14th through the 17th centuries.
The miniatures or book illustra-
tions show the light, delicate work
of the Persian hand and the com-
bined colors display a superb feel-
ing of harmony. One especially love-
ly miniature of a youth of Persian
17th century art combines exquisite
shades of green lavender, red and
gold in the young man's garb. An-
other miniature of the 16th century
in Persian from the manuscript of
Shaw-Name shows the fanciful im-
agination of these artists. It is a
heroic scene of warriors fighting
fantastic dragons, lions and other
wild animals. Even thermen's mounts
are assisting in the fray. Separate -
limbs are scattered about the ground
to show the intensity of the fight.
Among the collection of rugs is a
very long Persian work of the Arab-
esque style. Woven in the 17th cen-
tury and worn almost thread-bare,
the rug still displays its beautiful
colors and intricate all over design
which has no begninnig or end.
The collection includes a few se=
lect pieces from every phase of'
Islamic ar't 'epresentativehof the-
height of the artistic merits of the
Moslems.
