Community News." At the evening
banquet Paul Scott Mowrer, man-
aging editor of the Chicago Daily
News, will give an address on "Fasc-
ism and Communism."
The American public did not react)
to the colored news and prejudiced
editorials that were printed by news-
papers during the recent political)
campaign, Lee A White, librarian of
Detroit News said during the opening
session of the meeting yesterday af-
ternoon in the Union.
The fact that the people gave Pres-
ident Roosevelt such a tremendous
victory last week despite the opposi-
tion of 80 per cent of the nation's
newspapers does not indicate that the
newspaper has lost influence, Mr.
White, who is a member of the Board
in Control of Student Publications,
said. Rather, he added, it showed
that the public knows what news
is colored and biased and shows' that
the public took cognizance of the true
news and the unbiased editorial an-
alyses that were printed by a mi-
nority of papers.
Holmes Opens Session
Mr. White declared that none of
the papers that still followed the
fulfillment of its duty, namely to tell
unshaded news and give intelligent
editorial opinions, has suffered any
loss in influence.
While many papers were decrying
excessive governmental spending, Mr.
White continued, "I have heard the
opinion that the biggest boondoggle
occurred when the Republican Na-
tional Committee spent $8,000,000 for
eight electoral votes."
In opening the session, Prof. Roy
H. Holmes of the sociology depart-
ment stated that rural communities
have very many definite needs which
the small town editor can well bear
in mind if he wants to be of real
service to his community.
"There is a great gulf between the
people who live out on the farms
and the people who live in the vil-
lages and towns," Professor Holmes,
said, "and this breach is growing{
all the time." There should be a,
greater feeling of solidarity among I
all the people of a community, whe-
ther they be merchants and store-
keepers or farmers, Professor Holmes
added.
Describes Rural Needs
"The rural communities have aI
definite need for self-expression," he1
said, "and .in the average town or
village there are men and women who
have the abilities necessary for lead-
ership in various types of activities,
such as dramatics, musical diversions
and group undertakings."
Professor Holmes explained that he
had ascertained this information'
through an extensive survey of the I
conditions in rural Michigan during
which he has contacted between 300'
and 500 persons in nearly 80 coun-
ties. Many of the correspondents
replied to Professor Holmes that they
felt that their editors were not per-
forming their functions as a source
of help to the community. An equal
number of people, however, said that
their local editors were serving a defi-
nite good to their communities.
Symposium Held

Professor Brumn's New
Play About Handcuffed1
Men Will Be Shown
"Button, Button, who's got the'
button?"-well, anyway that's what
the representatives of the University
Press Club will find out tonight at'
the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre when
tey see the latest play of Prof. J.
L. Brumm, chairman of the journal-
ism department.
Concerning six persons, all strang-
ers to one another, five of whom are
down and out crooks with a govern-
ment operator thrown in for good
measure, "Button, Button" is calcu-
lated to trouble the conscience and
excite all those who are susceptible
to material efforts. However, Profes-
sor Brumm could hardly have calcu-
lated the trouble that five .hand-
cuffed individuals could cause a prop-
erty girl!

sor on campus. As the executive sec-j
retary of the Press Club and the
chairman of the entertainment com-
mittee Professor Brumm has turnedr
out five plays for their pleasure
which have been produced each time
by Play Production.
"Scrambled Ego," a college satire
on the soul complexes and people
who believe one shouldn't suppress
ones impulses, was the first. They
were followed in annual succession by
i'"The Mayor's Husband," intended to
give the aspirin tablet its proper place
in literature, "Why Print That?"
and "Editor's Are Also People," two
newspaper satires. Three of these
plays have been sold to the French
Publishing Co.

Club Plans To Aid
Polish Students
The establishment of five scholar-
ships for Polish students enrolled in
the engineering colleges of the Uni-
versity, Michigan State College, and
the University of Detroit have been
proposed by the Polish Engineering
Society of Detroit, it was revealed
here yesterday.
The proposal is an outgrowth of the
relation which has developed be-
tween the Michigan Student Chapter
of the Polish Engineering Society and
the practicing enginee s of Detroit.
The details of the proposed schol-
arships will be discussed at the next
meeting of the student chapter Tues-
day in the Union.

Loan Application Refused
A request by the University for
$2,000,000 from the PWA in 19361
was turned down on the grounds that
building and trades unemployment
was not severe enough in Ann Arbor.
The report claims that a similar re-
quest made by the Michigan State
Normal in Ypsilanti is receiving fa-
vorable attention by the government.
Various state-endowed schools in
Michigan have state-constructed dor-

the belief among Alliance members is
that the legislature could be won to
the cause on this campus in face of a
concerted drive by the student body
here.

for more. And he finally returned to
Three Rivers, to write for the De-
troit News about Fred Rohrer's cigar
store (Fred is dead now) and the
benefits of putting whip cream over
blueberry pie, as discussed by the
faithful customers of the cigar store.
And, now and then, he ventures forth,
as he has done this week, to tell the
world about the guild, or to write a
piece about its great work.
Daily Will Aid Chet
The defeat of Governor Fitzgerald
sort of floored him, Chet says, be-
cause the Governor has promised him
a fitting monument of commemora-
tion for the G.F.P.O.P. and, perhaps,
a home for the headless female cigar
store Indian (it is the only female
cigar store Indian in the world) that
the G.F.P.O.P. now has to take care
of up in Three Rivers. Three Rivers,
as everybody knows, is, of course, the
international headquarters of the
G.F.P.O.P.
But despite that Chet is full ofi
vim and"vigor when he talks about
his freshman credits. He has en--
'listed the aid of The Daily, in addi-
tion to all the local members of the
G.F.P.O.P., and the Three Rivers
Contingent, and the journalism de-
partment faculty, and is ready to
,put the pressure on the University.'
If no results are forthcoming this
week, Chet hints that he may even
sic the entire G.F.P.O.P. on the Uni-
versity, but he hasn't made up his
mind about this extreme step.
Only he thinks his record, in the
University and out, entitles him to
his credits.
