BOOZER tal health, his abilities, his capacity for a cre- ative contribution to society." At the other end of the scale are the opinions of George D. Strayer, who believes that even though some men may be retired who are phys- ically and intellectually able to continue, "more harm has been done by continuing men in serv- ice beyond 65 years of age than has ever been done through the administration of a uniform retirement rule." Of the two extremes, Rugg's plan is far the more desirable but in the same way the less practical. A compromise policy could doubt- lessly be worked out to combine the advantages of each plan and limit the disadvantages. In the public schools of New Jersey, a teacher may retire voluntarily or may be forced to retire by his board of education between the ages of 62 and 70, Iester Dix points out. Since this would provide for the elimination of "dead wood" with- out necessitating the retirement of Kilpatricks, and moreover allows a teacher to retire when he feels "his work is done," it must be a part of such a compromise plan. But two questions would arise in conjunction with this ruling. First, what shall be done with professors over 70? And second, who shall exer- cise the authority that in New Jersey is exercised by the board of education? The question of teachers over 70 might be solved by providing for compulsory retirement then, as John Dewey suggests, leaving ways open whereby a teacher may go on teaching by special permission from. year to year. With this scheme but one problem remains- who shall, decide when teachers between the ages of 62 to 70 shall resign and also decide which teachers at the age of 70 shall be granted special invitation to continue? Dewey suggests the administrative authorities; Dean Dearborn believes "Sudent opinion should be the chief determining factor in any question of of retention." Here at Michigan the Board of Regents has that power, but has very rarely applied 'it. But as long as that existant power is applied, it makes little difference who exercises it, provid- ing that, as Dean Dearborn points out, in admin- istering such a regulation, every possible pro- vision is made "for exceptional cases in terms of the individual's usefulness to the institution, and primarily to those most concerned, the stu- dents." [T HEOU BENEATH **** ~##~IT ALL QUESTIONS of pressing moment are at this time sinking the campus into a murky sea of dank and odoriferous oblivion. In an attempt to ferret out the factors which are even now causing untold mental anguish amongst the ten thousand students of the University of Mich- igan, I have prepared the following questionnaire in an attempt to'shed some light on the mo- mentous enigma which we all face. Whoare the ten most beautiful men on the Michigan Campus? Who amongst our gallant Greeks, our great barristers, or our swarthy en- gineers are worthy of being called "fairest." The Gargoyle has settled the question for the members of the opposite sex. With your aid and willing cooperation I shall attemptytousolve the problem for the complete edification of Mich- igan males. Men and women alike are here given the opportunity to select their Gods, to honor their heroes, and to pay tribute to the masculine beauty of Michigan. In addition there aretother issues which must be cleared up in order to open the way for eco- nomic and social salvation. Your opinion on these matters is earnestly solicited. This blank will run today and tomorrow. Your selections may be mailed directly to The Daily in care of this column, or brought in personally. Only selections made on these regular forms will be counted in the balloting. Suitable awards wjll be presented to the "Ten Most Beautiful," the "Best Dressed," "The Big- gest B.M.O.C.," and that professor who is ad- judged "The Most Interesting Lecturer in the "University."

How Rich Is To the Editor : So our friend,; Stevenson? Stevenson doesn't approve of asil.ty etirement .. COMPULSORY RETIREMENT of college professors at some arbi- trary age has long been the subject of heated controversy. When, however, Prof. William Heard Kilpatrick, of Teachers College, Columbia University was notified that, approaching the age of 65, he would soon be ineligible to teach, opinion on the subject recrystallized, and 10,000 educators protested the seemingly purposeless discard of a brilliant pedagogue. Six noted educators were asked by the New York Times to express their opinions on the general retirement question, and while their opinions seem to differ widely, between them' they illuminate the various aspects of the prob- lem. These men were: John Dewey of Columbia; Ned H. Dearborn, dean of the Division of Gen- eral Education, New York University; Harold Rugg, Teachers College, Columbia; George D. Strayer, Teachers College, Columbia; Lester Dix, associate director of Lincoln School, Teachers College; and George Willard Frasier, president of Colorado State College of Education. What retirement provisions hope to accomplish must be considered before a definite policy can be formulated. The first and obvious purpose of retirement from the viewpoint of the university is the elimi- nation of "dead wood." As Harold Rugg points out, these questions arise in determining whether a man has outlived his usefulness and reached .the age of his dotage: "Does this man's think- ing continue to keep pace with the times-its character and its needs? Does it make use of the known data of science and practical experi- ence? And does it continue to command the interested attention of those small minorities, that have achieved eminence on the frontier o. thought and feeling?" Aside from the value of the elimination of "dead wood" for its own sake, the added ad- vantage exists that such retirement opens posi- tions for younger men. The welfare of the university of course is not the only problem involved. "A teacher should be permitted to retire when, having satisfied his hb- ligations to his institution, he wants to do so," Rugg believes. The difficulty arises in attempting to form a policy, embodying all these aims, which never- theless will not result in the forced retirement of men such as Professor Kilpatrick. As Dean Dearborn cautions, "An Abelard, a Socrates, a Vittorino de Feltre, a Pestalozzi, a Huxley, a Jo- siah Royce, a Mark Hopkins, a William Rainey Harper, or a William G. Sumner should never be a victim of any retiring age limitation." But in an attempt to achieve ease of admin- istration, this caution has been neglected by momt imntittinsthp nii-mtof rf nhi( those "communistic, yellow pacifists" of the Peace Council? He's better than those revolutionary reds who would refuse to go out and fight for, Democracy, the DuPonts, and the Standard Oil Company. He is willing to bear arms for the richest country in the world. May I intrude long enough to ask friend Stev- enson just how much of those immense riches he has ever gotten? In a country where education factories put thousands of graduates -out into a hostile world where advertisements like "Bus- boys Wanted, college -graduates preferred" are common, just what would he be fighting for? The patriot without money is like the clown without a salary; not very amusing. --R.S., '37. '79 Old Men' To the Editor: A few days ago 79 members of the Univer- sity of Michigan faculty distinguished themselves -or perhaps I should say extinguished them- selves-by protesting against President Roose- velt's Supreme Court proposals. It is a sad sight to see members of the faculty of a supposedly liberal university dancing to the tune of a funeral dirge of 'Nine Old Men.' Young America must take a new attitude in this modern age if we are to leave to our chil- dren and our children's children a government whose purpose is to provide the greatest good for the greatest number. It is simply foolish to assert that it is unconstitutional to protect the country from impending ruin. The pace of eco- nomic, political, and cultural development is much more rapid than in the days when poli- ticans and professors could quote Homer as an authority on government or Vergil as an au- thority on agriculture. It was to guard against such narrow construction that Chief Justice Mar- shall uttered his memorable warning: "We must never forget that it is a constitution we are expounding-a constitution intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently it is adapted to every crisis of human affairs. The case before us must be considered in the light of our own experience, and not merely in that of what was said 100 years ago." Some members of the Supreme Court have failed to pay heed to the advice of our greate& Chief Justice and as a result the time has come when we must inject a little new, liberal blood into the withering veins of a degenerating court. This would indeed be a strange democracy if "Nine Old Men" were to be left to defeat the willof an overwhelming majority. I ask Mich- igan's valiant 79: Is it sensible to elect 531 mem- bers to a Congress to make our laws only to see them nullified by a court that is still living in the good old days of the Harding-Coolidge- Hoover regime? This Supreme Court would saddle us with a do-nothing government for the sake of maintaining the letter of the law. Our grave-tenders would bring back the old bogey that changing the court can only lead to dictatorship and fascism. I say that the Su- preme Court is the greatest bulwark of fascism that exists in America. They tell us that the court protects and preserves the liberties of the --~ , . . E 10. 2.

From my experience with the college girls of America, I (do, or do not) believe that women should be allowed to vote. THE BRUTAL RAPE and murder of 17-year- old Bernice Onisko, Hamtramck school girl, attacked while returning from communion serv- ices, is one of the most repellant, heinous crimes of a decade in which crime is so commonplace it loses its news value. To think that the horror of Emile Zola's Ger- minal could come to actual bging on the streets of a great metropolis sheds a fantastic light on our present day super civilization. In keeping with which is the not nice thought that comparatively few nights go by when Ann Arbor police fail to receive some sort of report complaining of molestation or of having been followed. Few of these stories ever break into print because few of them result in anything more than fright, but the shadow of the ugly' menace which more than one sorority house has awakened to experience in the middle of the night lingers on as an ever present and highly unsavory feature of the Michigan Campus. hungry men cannot eat it nor can they relieve the pangs of hunger by reading the reactionary decisions of a Sutherland or a McReynolds. The liberties of the big industries to exploit the masses must be curbed. We do not want the government of the United States in league with and fostering the robbery of its citizens. The students may be thankful that all our faculty does not follow the same philosophy. Michigan's "79 Old Men" would seek to produce ART Big-Ten Exhibit By HARRY BETHKE FOR SOME TIME a current show- ing by various artists of the Big Ten universities has been on display in the exhibition room of the Archi- tecture Building. If the exhibit has failed to attract much attention, as it probably has, that is unfortunate. The sruggling students of today are tomorrow's creative artists, and if the collection seems a woefully small one, that is due to some extent to the high standard of quality it has set for itself. Unfortunately, from Ann Arbor's standpoint, every school in the Western Conference is repre- sented except Michigan. The collection is comprised of still-lifes, figure studies, and por- traits in water and oil together with one or two prints, all varying in style and manner of approach. The bulk of the work is strongly aca- demic in tone, but conservatism seems not at all mandatory requisite, for, happily, a few paintings show more radical tendencies. That is en- couraging. It usually spells crea- tive death for the student artist to be enslaved in the rigid rule and rote of a dry and ancient conven- tion. The nature of art is such that its creation cannot be achieved sub- ject to the demands of hard and fast rules of technique or approach. Art cannot be ground out according to formula, for the scientific method of the production line applies to quite another world. Art has a language of its own and each artist in his for- mative years must experiment in order to find a style of his own to ex- press what he feels in the way he wants to express it. It is hearten- ing, therefore, that some of these students go even so far as to attempt an Expressionist style, even if they desert it later on as they probably will. At any rate, whatever the tech- nique involved, there is an excellent and consistent quality s h o w n throughout the exhibit. Two still-life studies by painters from Indiana University are espe- cially good. "Breakfast" by Beatrice Ann Bailey has all the elements of color and pattern that still-life de- mands. Mote imaginative is "Ar- rangement in Green and Brown" by Florence Miriam Johnson. Each is in its own way an excellent paint- ing, carrying the purpose of still- life, a distinctly minor one, nearly as far as it can go. Among the water colors there are also two of especial quality. Cather- ine Ann Crowder of Purdue handles her "River Shack" as a good water- color should be handled, in sweeping yet well controlled washes, neither "tight" nor botchy. And Ernest Dahle of Minnesota is represented by a very good head study in watercolor. Each of them show that the artist has a purpose in view and that he inter-; prets it according to the character of his medium. Two very small works by different artists are also very commendable. One beautiful little print called "Horses in the Rain" by Annette Fra- zin of the University of Wisconsin is very well composed and possesses a great deal of charm and mpvement in its simple and spontaneous hand- ling of lines. A pair of figure sketches in chalk by Wilbert Seidel of North- western are handled much in the same fashion. Each captures the character of its pose with grace and power. Unfortunately the show has not been hung with a great deal of thought, for the pictures do not seem to be arranged in any deFInite order according to character. This, to- gether with the peculiar arrange- ment of picture space in the room has forced a certain amount of crowding, which always detracts from the effect of any exhibit. If it were not for that, the picture would show to much better advantage. * * * ' Downstairs in the main corx idor cases is showing concurrently an ex- hibition comprised of early Chinese bronzes, potteries, and jade, together with some interesting examples of Chinese tapestry paintings depicting the 10 Buddhist hells. These once served as religious texts for the il- literate in a country temple. It is1 difficult in this turbulent and me- chanistic Western age for any but the conscientious scholar to be greatly enthralled by such archaic works from so alien a world, but the show- ing does sufficie to illustrate some of the charm of the ancient Eastern ar- tisanship. A pair of clay horse-heads from the Wei period shows especially well the decorative sense of small Chinese figurines. The tapestries, too, are equally in character ,showing a typi- cally Chinese sense of pattern in pic- torial motifs. The colors, though not always harmonious, are well pat- terned and their brightness, if garish in places, undoubtedly helped them to serve their religious purpose. " b 0.
