NIGHT EDITOR: WILLIAM SHACKELTON A Matter Of Local Concern. . T HE DAILY has been guilty of ne- glecting the dog fight in Maynard Street in favor of national issues. Here we have been discussing the presidential election and omitting any mention of such burning campus issues as whether somebody said: "I don't think football players will carry much weight this year, anyway." (viz. The Michigan Daily, Oct. 21, page one). It is difficult to discuss Martha's statement with equanimity because there are so many angles to it. Did Mildred really say this, and just where was she and in what condition when she said it if she did say it? And then was Vin- cent Butterfly (ibid) playing cricket when he aired the whole matter, that is, if Marion really said any such thing? Did she mean that Coach Kipke's young men were not very heavy, be- cause if she did she might well be sat on by one of Coach Kipke's boys, and again, if she did she is foolish because we would never say anything like that about Coach Kipke's boys be- cause we know they are heavy, and also tough, and we think that a Michigan football team car- ries plenty of weight with it wherever it goes, and not only physical weight either. To get to the larger issues of these campus elections, we regret very much that the State Street party doesn't want a man with real ex- ecutive talent, one such as the Washtenaw party has gone on record as favoring. Remembering that it was only the executive efficiency of last year's president of the sophomore class that pre- served the integrity of that group, we peer with considerable concern into the future and pre- dict disintegration for the class unless it chooses its man wisely. Who, we ask, is going to preside at a mass meeting in case the sophomore class should have one? Perhaps it is true that they have never had one within memory, but they might. Moreover, it is disgraceful the way no one knows who is the president of his class. We haven't even a remote idea who the presidents were last year, but we probably would recognize them if we should see them, because their pic- tures were in the year book for leading class dances, or something. A strong leader and capable executive wouldn't allow himself to be forgotten like that, One thing bothers us. Why is it that indepen- dents want, to form a coalition? They are gen- erally fairly intelligent and we can't understand why they don't let the fraternity and sorority people go ahead and have their fun-and also pay the class dues that they never pay anyway -and sit aside, politely laughing? Like football, it's more fun from the sidelines. But instead (sigh) they'll probably rush on, create an issue, a Platform, some Candidates and have a Party. (From the New York Herald-Tribune) WAS COLLEGE WORTH WHILE? By John R. Tunis. Reviewed by Stuart Chase of the Harvard Class of 1910. JOHN TUNIS has performed a major surgical operation. Surgical operations abound in in- terest, but are not always pretty to look upon. He has taken the records of 541 members of the class of 1911 at Harvard University as they were pre- pared for their twenty-fifth reunion, and he has exposed with a scalpal delicate and terrible the lights and livers of a group favored above all others in the American commonwealth. Harvard is the oldest university on the continent north of Mexico and-on the whole-the snootiest. Our author has taken these 541 men, now in their late forties, and has analyzed their in-. comes, occupations, hobbies, war records, mar- riages, divorces, parenthood, religion, culture, philosophies, achievements, and devotion to the public welfare. The material comes partly from the accredited biographies submitted to the sec- retary of the class, partly from special unpub- lished studies, partly from personal observation. Mr. Tunis is himself a member of Harvard 1911. To round out the picture he has then presented comparative material, so far as it is available, for Harvard 1811, a hundred years earlier, and for Yale 1911, Princeton 1911, and Nebraska 1911. He has made due allowance for the lim- itations of his sources. He knows that some of the wisest classmates failed to answer question- naires and that some who answered misrepre- sented themselves through modesty or egotism. As a group these men emerge narrow, business- minded, uninterested in public affairs, unable to express themselves clearly, fanatically devoted to golf, unmindful of the courses of history, adoles- cent in their concern for collegiate athletics, stubbornly reactionary, devoid of that sense of relationship between discrete events which is the hallmark of intelligence, and almost solidly op- posed to political experiments, and to their fel- low-alumnus who is attempting such expert ments as President of the United States. The class of 1911, with distinguished exceptions, does not say: "Yes, this is a critical period and change is mandatory, but your methods, Mr. President, while courageous, are inadequate." Not at all. It says in effect: "There is no crisis and no need for change." The group lacks success not because, twenty- five years after graduation, its average income is under $4,000 a year, but because it has no time sense. As one man puts it, "Underneath it all we are still the bewildered boys who were lost in the great world of Harvard twenty-five years ago." I for one am not surprised or shocked by the fact that members of Harvard 1911 are tending filling stations, riding the rods of freight cars, swinging a pick for the WPA. I am not surprised that many are overwhelmed with debts or enjoying a miserable income. What one has a right to expect from the headwaters of Amer- ican culture is a modicum of philosophical de- tachment, the rudiments of the long view, and a glimmering of what H. G. Wells calls the sense of state. I would stake my watch that Oxford and Cambridge 1911 as a group possess these qualities. Harvard, Yale and Princeton in 1911 graduated all too few who possessed the long view . . . Finishing schools for debutante stock- brokers. Few of these men have ever appraised their world. Few have tried to understand or come to terms with the massive forces which hurled them first into the trenches of France, then into a fantastic boom, then into a bottomless depres- sion. They were good soldiers, good providers for their families when the stock market was jump- ing over the moon, stoical and dependable cit- izens in the depression. But they never seized the privilege of the educated man to ask: Why? What made it happen? How can these things be prevented from happening again? Most of them ask nothing better than a return to the good old days. It has never occurred to them that history is an irreversible process. "In view of the war and the depression," says Mr. Tunis, "our failure to gain financial success may be understandable. That we have not reached the top in these fields where we might reasonably have presumed to be foremost, is dis- appointing. Worse still, worst of all, in fact, is our attitude at present. 'What of it?' We have failed, certainly, but why worry? Surely a group such as ours ought to grasp leadership in the attempt to save our civilization from destruction. We do not grasp, we merely shrug our shoulders, pass along, and murmur, 'What of it?'" Harvard 1911 did, however, produce a handful of men profoundly concerned with the fact that the times are out of joint. Mr. Tunis gives this handful generous credit. Yale 1911 pro- duced fewer and Princeton almost none at all. "It is high time," says one stalwart of Old Nassau, "we and the rest of the world decided (THE FORUM Nihil De Mortuis Nisi Bonum To the Editor: The article of October 22 by Malcolm W. Bin- gay, editorial director of the Detroit Free Press, on the life of Senator Couzens, was vindictive, unpleasant and dishonorable. 'Death did not sanctify James Couzens; like all of us, he had faults, but his death is not the occasion to rehearse them. It would have beepi brazen hypocrisy for the Free Press to have made the customary eulogistic remarks, in view of its previous bitter attacks on the late senator, but we had been fooled long enough by the crazy scheme and experiments of the New Dealers, dictators, et al, and settled down to the funda-j mentals of the 'horse and buggy' type of philos- ophy of our forefathers." One is tempted to ask why we should not settle down to the football of our forefathers, with goal posts on the zero yardf line, five yards for a first down, and no forwardl passes. No one expects the majority of any college class, twenty-five years after commencement, to have developed into intellectual giants. Perhaps the handful, with the still smaller silent minority, are enough? They would be enough if they were active leaders, with the majority an intelligent audience. But the audience is bored and hostile and even the leaders of these college classes are1 relatively helpless. These men rather than the undergraduates of today are really the lost generation. They were conditioned to an era of adolescence, of com- pounding growth, of bigger and better population statistics, real estate values, yachts. Lost and bewildered among the problems of a maturing economy, they turn reactionary or cynical. They prepared for the American success story, and Time, the relentless editor, threw the story into the waste basket. By way of contrast, listen to a Harvard young- ster of the class of '36, as reported by Mr. Tunis: "I have been told that the chief interests of the undergraduates of ten years ago were athletics and the social side of college life. Today I think one could say that the chief extracurricular in- terest is in world events and the political and eco- nomic situation. It permeates most conversa- tion . . . I think I speak for my generation when I say that we are sick to death of platitudes and cliches, of flag waving and heroic attitudes. of Red scares and patriotism that is talked of rather than felt, of Father Coughlins and Wil- liam Randolph Hearsts." The other night I sat up until all hours trying to answer the eager questions of a Harvard sophomore whom I had just met-questions about Russia, Italy, Germany, the class struggle, the co-operative movement, the TVA, the chance for a third party, the saving-spending formula, the possibilities of an economy of abundance, and heaven knows what else. There was almost no talk like this in 1911, though the World War was only three years away. At least there was little or none when I left Harvard is 1910. So Mr. Tunis's somber story has a happy ending. Harvard appears to be returning to its ancient and honor-able role of educating men for a moving, changing world. Who knows but Yale and even Princeton are doing the same? I THE SCREE AT THE MAJESTIC "THE DEVIL IS A SISSY" It's not another "Dead End," but "The Devil Is A Sissy" is a warm, human picture, and if you have never been there, it will show you what life means to the people who live in the colorful streets you may have looked down at with curios- ity when you drove over the Brooklyn Bridge. It is the story of three boys, Buck, Gig and Limey, pictured by Jackie Cooper, Mickey Rooney and Freddy Bartholomew. Buck is the son of a stupid bully who lives in the past "glories" of the war; Gig's father was electrocuted for a gang murder; Limey's father is a sensitive architect, sympathetically portrayed by Ian Hunter. Together they fight and steal in the crowded streets and dirty alleys of a big city's tenement districts, wise far beyond their years, tough as the thugs they idolize. The plot is concerned mainly with Limey's heroism, and the reforma- tion of Buck and Gig, and a love'story is supplied by Limey's father, who is separated from hi, wealthy wife, and Gig's aunt. There are a few scenes which are genuine tear-jerkers, and there are many scenes to remember and think about. Gig and Buck represent a million other boys, boys who are submitted to the same influences as they, boys who will follow the path of Gig's father. They, too, are tough, and steal and fight and bully. This picture should make you wonder about that, and what's being done about it. They won't be saved by the heroism of a movie juvenile. There are thousands of them in penitentiaries, and a lot more coming up. It is something to think about. --A.S.D. AT THE MICHIGAN "THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1937" "The Big Broadcast" is big entertainment news. It is one of the fastest moving pieces of sheer unadulterated entertainment you will see this season. If you like music of any variety, if you like witty dialogue, if you like entertainers who are real showmen, see this Paramount pro- duction. There is Jack Benny, there are Burns and Al- len, Martha Raye, Bob Burns, Leopold Stokowski and Benny Goodman, all doing their best by "The Big Broadcast." And there is Miss Shirley Ross, the surprise package of the picture. Miss Ross not only sings as though she meant it, but has a personality and looks that record as sincerely as her voice. This assemblage of talent alone would make any picture big news. But these performers aren't just slung together in flashes, they are worked into a neat little story. . There are some very good numbers in this pic- ture, which are not ruined by reel after reel of tramping chorus girls. Watch and listen to Shirley Ross sing "There's Love in Your Eyes" and "I'm Talking Through My Heart."
