The Control
Of Athletics..**
HE CONDITIONS which prompted
T the action of the Western Confer-
ence against the University of Wisconsin are not
confined to that institution. In lesser degree they
are almost universally present, and- continue to
undermine collegiate athletics.
The future of collegiate football requires that
authority under which it is to be conducted be
vested in a responsible body, whose interests may
be identical with the best interests of the univer-
sity. Faculty committees may be identified with
the best interests of the university, and they
have been universally regarded as ideal for the
administration of that control.
As soon as authority passes beyond this group
to an outside group, as it did in Wisconsin, colle-
giate athletics are presumably being conducted
with some other interests in mind than those of the
university. In many universities, alumni have
assumed the power of contro in varying degrees.
Alumni in most cases are concerned with winning
games, with the prestige that is attached to having
a vicarious association with an institution which
produces championship teams; their interests are
rarely those ideals of competition which we hold
as best suited for universities. Moreover, alumni
are in a position to aid universities by garnering
promising high school students an indirect means
of subsidization for varsity athletes, and their
practices, although perhaps legal enough, tend
very frequently to give a professional- tinge to in-
tercollegiate athletics.
In order for football to remain on a plane of re-
spectability consistent with the aims of the college'
to which it is attached, not only authority, but
power for the control of athletics must not be al-
lowed to be taken from the hands of faculty com-
mittees by irresponsible, unofficial bodies.
Controversial
Educators. .
T HE NATION'S EDUCATORS, meet-
ing this week in St. Louis, although
unusually liberal in their discussion of the treat-
ment of controversial problems, have been unani-
mous in their agreement that nothing could be
done about the unfortunatesituation.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch summarized their
statement of the true function of schools as fol-
lows: "The schools exist to spread knowledge and
to attempt to teach the pupils to think. When the
pupil finishes school he should have a 'disciplined'
mind which should be able to cope with the imme-
diate and every-day problems which surround and
bedevil him."
Moreover, if students are going to have to choose
between various social and economic attitudes, it
was pointed out, it would seem but wise that they
learn about them in the unbiased though not
necessarily neutral atmosphere of learning
Despite almost universal agreement that these
sentiments as embodied in their yearbook, would be
wasted if they were not applied, there seems little'
chance that they will be anything but wasted.
Prof. Herbert B. Bruner of Teachers' College, Co-
lumbia University, outlined a number of obstacles
in the way of liberal and unrestricted teaching of
the tr.uth. "Chief among these," he said, "were the
restrictive laws, as the teachers' loyalty oaths.
OME interesting facts are being un-
covered by the Senate Lobby Com-
mittee's investigation of the famous telegram epi-
sode which occurred last summer when the public
utilities bill was up before Congress.
Attempts are being made to thwart the com-
mittee in its attempt to discover just who was
responsible for the pseudo protests against utility
regulation. A court order was issued to prevent
the use of the telegrams as evidence in the hear-
ing. However, the injunction is only temporary,
and we hope that it will not be ordered permanent-
ly, for the Senate and the American people cer-
tainly have a right to know the facts of this case.
Silas H. Strawn, one of the individuals who se-
cured the injunction, protested that the committee
was using "unconstitutional and illegal" methods
when they used the telegrams as evidence. Cer-
tainly the corporations were not very considerate
of the rights of the individuals whose names they
placed on the telegrams which were sent to Con-
gress by the simple means of taking them out of
the telephone book.
Already it has been disclosed that one firm
spent $2,164 for telegrams, and that another spent
$5,600 in its campaign against the bill, which
covered the cost of sending 15,000 letters, 7,000
telegrams, and the petition to Congress.
Question has come up as to whether the use of
peoples' names on the alleged protests does not
constitute forgery. Certainly such a practice is
criminal in every other respect, if not in the finest
technical one.
Strawn maintains that his firm has nothing
to hide, but yet he vigorously wants the evidence
removed from the investigation. If the fake
telegrams were on the level, and we don't see how
they could be, the investigation will bring it out.
If not, then we deserve to know the details of the
case.

Heidelberg Anniversary
(The following was sent to The Daily
as a copy of a letter addressed to President
Ruthven.)
My dear President Ruthven:
If the New York Times does not erroneously
report, Michigan has accepted the invitation of
the officials of Heidelberg University to send dele-
gates to the June celebration of that institution.
I wish, therefore, to protest vigorously against
Michigan's recognition of and participation in
such a celebration, and trust that you will use
whatever influence and authority in the matter
you have to place my Alma Mater and one of
America's great seats of traditional freedom be-
side Birmingham University of England in its
courageous stand on this matter.
Surely, no graduate need call attention to the
present status of a once famous and humane in-
stitution. "The Studentenschaft or Student
League of each Germany university is an organi-
zation formed under Nazi auspices and controlled
by the government. Students must be members
of the league on pain of expulsion from the uni-
versity."
The sending of a delegate from Michigan at
such a time and under such hideous and unholy
circumstances as the Nazi regime in Germany pre-
sents before a world aghast at such cruelty, such a
crushing of human rights and freedom of citizenry
as daily characterize this government can mean
only one thing to liberty-loving Americans and
Englishmen: The University of Michigan ap-
proves of a Fascist State! The University of
Michigan would clasp academic hands with Hitler-
ian Dictatorships!
Keep Michigan from Heidelberg contamination
at all cost!
Very sincerely yours,
-Helen J. Davis, '19.
Porto Rican Situation
To the Editor:
Having read an article in the Michigan Daily,
which I supposed to be a resume of a talk by Mr.
Earl Hanson on the Porto Rican situation, I would
greatly appreciate it if you would find space for
this, my reply.
I boast no sociological knowledge, but as a resi-
dent of the country, and having always been in-
terested in its political background, I think that I
am in a position to make some amendments av.d
additions to Mr. Daniels' article. As far as ray
knowledge is concerned, I know not of an in-
creasing slum population in our cities, as sta-
tistics would prove that such slum districts as
there are now, have always existed. Porto Rico
differs in that in its laboring class there are two
social standards; one being clerks, government
employees, etc., the other being the day laborer.
This last group is of the lowest social level, andl
inhabiting the slum districts.
Politics is not a bread and butter struggle as it
appears to Mr. Hanson. The bitterness of the
struggle lies chiefly in the characteristic tempera-
mental qualities of Latin Americans, who see
blindly only one path and will not acknowledge
any good on the other political side. I agree with
Mr. Hanson when he says that a corrupt form of
government may be blamed for the political dis-
turbances. Porto Ricans gained from the Spanish
regents a lamb as a seal, symbolizing the quiet
nature of its citizens. The last of the Spanish col-
onies to show any marked protest against the
tyrannical ruling of Spanish kings, will vouch for
that.

THE FREEDOM OF THE AIR
(To these great men, and even to the Presi-
dent of the United States, all held in such high
esteem, may we not appeal for the choice word
and the measured phrase, spoken with malice
toward none and charity toward all?- Owen D.
Young, at Rollins College on the question of radio
restraint.)
The choice word and the measured phrase,
The speeches trippingly on the tongue,
Are begged for through the direful days
By Owen Young.
I, too, am Temperance's advocate;
I hate the hurling of the slime;
I loathe the lads who overstate
All of the time.
Yet -the Supreme Court bears me out-
It's constitutional to scoff,
And, when the statesmen yell and shout,
to turn 'em off.
Governor Lehman still thinks that the three
Assembleymen are obstructing the passage of anti-
crime laws The governor, paraphrasing the Judge
--and a good Judge, too -in "Trial by Jury,"
might sing:
And many a burglar they've restored
To his friends and his relations.
And speaking of that operetta, Mr. Owen Young
might have sung:
Now, politicians, hear my advice_
All kinds of vulgar prejudice
Aside should now be laid:
With the choice word and the measured phrase,
From bias free in a million ways,
These speeches must be made.
Last week [here was a story to the effect that
Drama Critics had requested managers to begin
performances at 8 o'clock. This would be ideal,
to our notion, but it may be impractical. What
the critics would probably consider Utopian is
to have curtains rise within five minutes of the
advertised time. Most performances announced
to begin at 8:30 don't ring up until 8:55. As to
printing the theater's address on tickets and ticket
envelopes in type as large as the name of the
theatre, we give up. We know when we are
licked.
ADD "IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE"
(From the Wilkes-Bare Times-Leader)
Mr. Hays, director general of the film industries,
has refused to countenance the film version of
Lewis's novel, "It Can't Happen Here," as being
a careless use of matches among powder kegs.
Nothing he has done has been nearer right. Such
a prohibition is entirely well considered. We
have enough perils without fooling with explo-
sives and coaxing trouble by the vivid appeal which
this relation would set up among the inflam-
mable, aided and encouraged by the parlor pinks
and civil liberties horders that find it exciting to
meddle and tempt danger. A final decision has
been made to shelve the whole business. Mr.
Lewis will not starve. He has tucked away quite
a lot from his book and other acrid ones like
"Elmer Gantry." Besides, no author writing sub-
versive stuff should expect or ought to expect
that he may be allowed royalties at the expense
of the safety of a people or of any part of
that people. The book is dangerous, and the pic-
ture would be thousands of times worse, because
only a few read books, but millions see pictures.
It seems that the Hays office didn't tell Mr. Sid-
ney Howard that he could not have a production
of the film "It Can't Happen Here," but that
somebody may have told the producers that it
would be better not to show the film. What are
careful producers of the "Romeo and Juliet" film
going to do about "beauty's ensign yet crimson in
thy lips"? Is not that a truckling to the red flag,
as Al Smith has it, of Russia?
And is the New Deal to stand by and let pass
such obvious criticism as "We have seen better
days?"
SILVER ANNIVERSARY
I would evoke lost, lovely things
In Aprils that have gone before--
The ardors that forgotten springs
Laid at your door.
I would entreat them to return,
To lay their image on your eyes
Indelibly, that you might learn
Love never dies.
I would revive eachtdesperate word,
Each eloquent and tender plea,
That all your being might be stirred
To memory.
Anne Lloyd.
It seems to us that there has been a lot of silly
comment on the case of General Hagood, so here
is another drop in that bucket For one thing,
the order beginning "By direction of the President"
has been assailed as a high-handed proceeding of
Franklin Roosevelt. All such orders begin like
that. The President is commander in chief of
the army. As to "the travel directed is necessary
to the military service," it means that wherever
the recipient proceeds as a result of the order, he
will be paid the army's mileage rate for such
travel.
The story is that Geneial Hagood got petmis-
sion from the Chief of Staff to speak his mind
freely before the committee, and that that per-'
mission was directed by the Secretary of War. If

A Washington
BYSTANDER
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON, March 3. - An un-
usual episode marked final Sen-
ate action on the extended and ex-
panded neutrality resolution. Chair-
man Pittman of the foreign relations
committee was so stung by "insinua-
tions" on the senate floor that sin-
ister motives, not unconnected with
war trade profits, had moved a ma-
jority of his committee, that he read
the committee roll and added:
"There is not a member of that
committee who by environment, by
employment or by association is in
any way whatever connected with or
influenced by any of the great com-
mercial interests that made profits
out of the last war."
* * * *
WHAT is instantly detectable from
a reading of the committee roll,
however, is that two distinct schools
of peace thought are strongly repre-
sented. With such die-hard cham-
pions of American aloofness from
League of Nations activities as Borah
of Idaho and Johnson of California
sitting down with so equally out-
spoken an advocate of American en-
try into the League, even at this late
date, as Borah's colleague, Pope, to
frame peace measures, compromise
was the only foreseeable result. Nor
does that in any way detract from
Senator Pittman's further declaration
as to his committee:
"There is not a member of that
committee but is just as sincerely in
favor of peace as any other member
of the senate."
That the compromise arrived at
marked a long step in advance of
the original neutrality resolution, not
even those who voted against it on
the last show-down denied. It adds
American financing to those weap-
ons and implements of war already
banned for shipment of tranship-
ment to any belligerent. To the minds
of many senators, with memories of
the unpaid allied war debt to prompt
them and recollections of the pur-
poses for which the money was bor-
rowed, that of itself tends to close
the gate on extensive war trade in1
commodities useful for war purposes
although not classifiable as weapons
or implements of war.
SENATOR Borah said that the new;
neutrality measure "represented
what the members of the committee
who were present unanimously felt
was the best that could be done at
this season." He also said there
should be and "undoubtedly" would
be "more legislation.";
That the conflict of opinion be-]
tween advocates of the Nye-Clark
school, illustrated by the ramifying
explorations of the munitions' inves-
tigation, the Pope theory of intimate
cooperation with league efforts to;
suppress all wars and the Frazier et
al. school of extreme pacifism can
never be worked out may be doubt-
ful. That such permanent legislation;
could be passed before all house mem-
bers and a third of the senate are
called home for primary and electioni
campaigning purposes is not open to
much doubt.
