NIGHT EDITOR: WILLIAM SHACKELTON Olympics In The Original Manner... ROM PHILADELPHIA this week comes news of considerable inter- est and perhaps suggestive of action on the part of the University. The University of Pennsylvania announced that it would, through its School of Education, conduct withi4 the near future a "cultural Olym- pics," carrying over the idea of athletic competi- tion into the fields of literature and art. The plan has a dual purpose-to discover new talent ordinarily found only through chance; and secondly to encourage both children and adults who have latent talents in cultural pur- suits. It provides for contests in various fields, of self-expression, such as music, art and crafts, literature, drama and the dance. Credit for the idea goes to Samuel S. Fleisher, philanthropist and patron of the arts, who has been giving a number of radio talks trying to encourage sponsorship of such a plan. "There are two great problems confronting our civili- zation which must be solved," said Mr. Fleisher. "One is the problem of work. The other the problem of leisure. If it is true that we are to have thrust upon us the vast amount of leisure is predicted, it will not be long before the center of gravity shifts from the work end of life to the leisure end of life and the problem of leisure will be the more important and fundamental of the two. "Thus a safe, inspired use of leisure is the greatest opportunity that any community can put in force." Of the element of chance in the discovery of talent, President Gates of the University of Pennsylvania said: "Time and again attention is called to the careers of men and women whose high achievements in the field of music, sculp- ture, painting and other branches of the fine arts, were made possible solely by chance. "Possibly that element of chance never may be eliminated entirely, but upon the extent to which it is minimized through the establishment of systematic agencies for the discovery and en- couragement of latent talent wherever it exists, must depend in large measure the cultural prog- ress of society. "In addition to encouraging widespread pride in cultural achievement among all classes and all ages, it is felt that the cultural Olympics can render a most useful service by inspiring the profitable use of leisure hours, especially among youthful classes during early, high impression- able years." . . . to this end it is hoped that provision may be made whereby a number of these awards will carry with them the privilege of study at various institutions which offer instruction in cultural fields." The University of Pennsylvania is beginning week announced his retirement, is an active agent for the state-wide encouragement of in- terest in knowledge and culture. This plan, of "cultural Olympics" is but an*extension of these institutions already a part of our University. It excites the imagination with the infinite possi- bilities it possesses. Why cannot we at the University of Michigan help to pioneer a movement so worthy of the support of every institution for higher learning in the country? Perhaps in time the scope of these Olympics may be international, and it may ultimately return the Olympics as we now have them to the original form, in which the Greeks competed for laurels alike in verse and physical prowess.

Let Them Sweep Halls? To the Editor: My attention was attracted recently by a short news item regarding the appointment of several' Night Watchwomen shall we say, at Mosher-Jordan. What a great relief it must be for the mothers of our dashing, joy-seeking co-eds, to be able to roll over in the blankets and say, "My 'Helen of Troy' (or who have you) is at this point being tucked safely away into her bed for a good night's sleep." Or what a thrill it must be on graduation day to be able to point (I know it's not polite) with pride, and say, "Yes, that's my daughter. She graduated from Mich- igan where they look over their little darlings like they do in a girl's reformitory." And then, Susie goes out to get a job, and she finds she doesn't get along so well because she has never had to look entirely after herself. I remember way back in grade school, where the teachers used to stand over us and watch us closely to see that we did things correctly, or if necessary to take a nice fat stick and thrash obedience into us. But I thought that these things lasted just through the public schools, or perhaps a little longer, and when we were members of the pres- ent generation and had to start taking a few responsibilities so that when our turn came to be the nucleus of the generation, we were pre-, pared and could pass on to the great beyond leaving our work well done. Maybe I was wrong' and if I am, I'll stand correction, but in my opinion, when a girl is old enough to go to college, she's old enough to have a few cares and at least begin to learn to do things for herself. Everyone knows that a person does his or her work best, if he or she isn't driven con- tinually, so why can't we start right here at Michigan to become a little bit independent. I hope nobody takes me wrong on this little discourse, so far be it from me to object to giving the gals every opportunity to help defray their college expenses, but why can't we give them something to do which will keep the others from continually being watched over. Maybe they could sweep the halls, or something. -M.J. Proctors' Authority Misdirected To the Editor: Miss Bale seems to have missed the essential point behind the vituperative outbursts against the Mosher Proctor system. The main question is not so much, I think, whether the "checking in" is helpful to the girls, but rather whether young women of college age need the added authority to make them quiet down. I think even the proctors themselves will admit that college is supposed to train us for our future lives; we are expected to learn how to conduct ourselves in society where we will have no "proc- tors" to control our conduct. Dormitory life teaches us how to live together successfully, and if we are to remain individuals we must learn this in cooperation with each other, and not through the exertion of would-be superior wills. Girls should be learning while they are in col- lege how to respect the wishes of others; they should be credited with sufficient common sense to observe hours when others want to study. Further, I think Miss Bale will find that if an honest poll is taken, a very large majority of Mo- sherites will oppose the system. The ninety per cent that are "cooperating beautifully" are doing so because the system has been forced upon them and because it is always easier to bow down to the assertion of authority than to oppose it. Does Miss Bale fully realize the repetitive na- ture of her work? The girls are expected to sign in at the desk; the proctors' work is only an ad- ditional check up. No one will be "shut out in the cold" if they abide by the existing regulations and sign out before they leave the building. Also, how come Mosher needs conduct supervisors and Jordan does not? The dormitories are connect- ed, yet we in Jordan are not subjected to the ignomy of being watched by members of our own group. But discussion is useless unless some action can be taken. Would a petition against the sys- tem be enough to mean its conclusion? Or does the University prefer to abide by its own authori- tative rulings as to what is best for adult-minded students? -Jordanite.. . Libeled Lady To the Editor: After reading the screen column about the en- tertaining, "Libeled Lady" it is easy to see that your columnist is prejudiced against the en- deavors of Katherine Hepburn and Frederic March in "Mary Queen of Scots." I saw both IB]ENEA'TH ** *s By Bonth Williams=== THE MAIN DIVISION of the University had arrived back in camp by dawn Monday after a semi-successful invasion of the redoubtable Co- lumbus, according to reliable sources. Stragglers kept reporting by two's and three's all during the night, and with several noteworthy excep- tions the company answered to their officers at the regular Monday drill. The exact movements of the Michigan troops were carefully screened by tear gas and a pe- culiar fog. Scout reports, although not officially confirmed, intimate that: 1. One enemy policeman was in the Colum- bus hospital suffering from a fractured skull and concussion of the brain as a result of a tactical blunder that occurred when the opposing forces confused their own troops with Michigan's. 2. That on the actual field of combat Mich- igan was not victorious, but that the Wolverine camp followers. swept everything before them in numerous minor skirmishes. 3. That Bob Griffin, disguised as a friendly neutral, gained access to the Beta House and cleaned the brothers out of $52 in a game rudely described as crap. 4. That the enemy upon occasion drinks Epirits, and are in the habit of proffering re- freshment to conquered foes. 5. That fraternity houses behind the oppos- ing lines relaxed their vigilance Saturday night and that a few Michigan stalwarts vetured to attend the revelry. Trouble at the Phi Kappa Psi House was only averted when comrades disarmed an ardent Michigan private who was flourishing a butcher knife. - 6. A small detachment of Wolverines suc- ceeded in carrying the Neil House by storm late Saturday. The management who had been warned of the attack in advance, had removed all perishables from the lobby, whereupon, our men lined up and refought the conflict of the afternoon over the lobby gridiron. Terrified non-combatants looked down from the balcony above. 7. That Scout Art Zeuhlke made his way into the Delt House some time later where he calmly broke the orchestra leader's baton over his knee and then made good his escape in one of the most daring feats of individual bravery of the entire campaign. 8. That a company of Michigan Chi Phi's, captured an old grad and compelled him to lead a snake dance through the Ohio citadel known as the Deschler-Wallick while his companions looked on and roared their approval.... . .. 9. That skirmishes were still going on as late as Sunday evening when four Michigan sympa- thizers, their supporting ranks gone, marched down High Street in the drum and bugle corps of the Salvation Army. 10. That according to the unanimous opinion of all of the non-combatants, the invasion was very worthwhile. IT WOULD APPEAR on the face of things that Ann Arbor was not wholly composed of stu- dents over the week-end either. The Toast- masters tossed a fine affair in honor of the sur- plus which they had collected in the treasury after long years of scrimping. Held in one of the finer downtown taverns, and with the Honorable Lou Kearns presiding, the occasion was quite a success. The feature of the evening was a talk by Miss Betty Sinclaire on "The Advantages of the Moose." Following dinner the entire assembly adjourned to the Ar- mory for dancing. with others who did and who, like myself, were disgusted at the fallacies of the write up. If this C.M.T. just enjoys light, humorous skits, why not have someone else do the worthwhile plays such as "Mary Queen of Scots" in the fu- ture so as to give The Daily readers a fair sum- mary and the deserved criticism. -A Daily Reader. Stolen Coats To the Editor: At ten o'clock this morning two happy young college students went to .their Qualitative An- alysis class in the chemistry building. Each one was wearing a warm and comfortable winter overcoat, which, by the way, cost them a tidy sum. Well, it seems that after spending an inter- esting hour listening to Professor Carney's ex- planation of the precipitation of the third group metals, these same, two young men left their class room ready to put on their overcoats which they had hung up just outside of the classroom. However, much to their dismay, the coats were not there. Naturally, a formal report was made out in the business office at University Hall. The man in charge told the students that up 'til now, no coat had yet been returned. This of course filled our hearts with hope. Now to come to the point of my brief letter. I thought that perhaps you could print a warning to the many other students who have classes In the Chemistry Building, and let them know that their personal belongings were not safe. After all, two cold sophomores this winter is quite enough. -Edward Wetter. "For speeds of over 40 miles an hour, get into the air for safety. I want to give only one sta- tistic. Based on the average flying which the average person does in this country, you will be 128 years old before any accident occurs to you." Amelia Earhart Putnam, world's foremost avia- trix, really doubts whether the average Grinnell College student who heard her will last that long even on the average ground.

Acolytes Adelphi' THE SCREEN AT THE MICHIGAN "DODSWORTH" "Dodsworth" is a surprisingly faithful adaptation of Sinclair Lewis' novel. It is an excellent illustration of what success a motion picture can have by strictly following a well- written novel. There is a minimum of Hollywood story improvision in this picture. Therefore, the picture has almost the same reality and criticism as the book. Dodsworth is a retired, successful American motor magnate, who starts out to Europe with his wife to make up for some of the fun he has missed. But Mrs. Dodsworth is trying to for- get her age, and is taken in by the cream of Europe's social racketeers. She decides to divorce herrhusband. Dodsworth, in the meantime becomes lonesome and bored trying to absorb European culture, and meets Mrs. Cortwright, an ex-patriated American living in Naples. He learns how to laugh andenjoy life again, and iss fired with new ambition through this woman, whom he comes to love. But Mrs. Dodsworth calls off the divorce proceedings, and Dodsworth is left with the choice of going back or going on. It is the characterization in this picture that puts the cinematized story across. Walter Huston as Dods- worth is Dodsworth. Even on the screen he has all of the bigness and smallness of character that makes him human. Mrs. Dodsworth, played by Ruth Chatterton is small and mean, but she is believable. Mary As- tor makes a beautiful, sympathetic Mrs. Cortwright. "Dodsworth" is more than enter- tainment-it is a real story. If more productions were made with as much emphasis upon story, technical de- tail, and character interpretation as' "Dodsworth," the motion picture in- dustry would be increasing its pres- tige and significance, and audiences would be running less of a risk of sit- ting hours watching slush and froth that not even the producer enjoys hashing up. -C.M.T.
