NIGHT EDITOR: WILLIAM SPALLER Siiroughold rwrr i r i rt THEFORUM Letter To The Dead To the Editor: The world spins pretty fast these days and lots of things happen. Some of us care what happens. Some do not. At the Union last Wednesday night, David McKenzie, a young Scottish medical student recently returned from the International column in Madrid, delivered a brilliant account of the situation in Spain. Where were all the fellow-members of the human race? Why wasn't the entire college there instead of 200-300 stu- dents? Where is the simple decency of one man towards a grave responsibility of another? I say to those all day tea-drinkers and all the ain't-it-just-too-bad intellectuals bowed by the weight of their own metaphysics, I say to all those unconcerned men and women, "Go home and lay down and die. You're dead all the way." Because right this minute thousands of stu- dents are in cold trenches fighting for those dem- ocratic principles which we so blandly inherited. To those who demand a reason for being con- cerned other than political, let them realize that fascism is death to culture. If any reader doesn't know that by now he. ought to do some extra-curricular reading. With a good memory he'd remember the book burning fiesta in Ger- many in 1933. Or let him ask Thomas Mann or Einstein or Bruno Walter and any of the other thousand "cultural" exiles. If you shy away because "I'm a student and politics and me just don't, mix," let this fact, burn in your brain: If fascism wins anywhere in the world, what goes up in smoke is perhaps as terrible as the loss of flesh and blood: I mean the thousand years of Cervantes, Goya, Heine, Goethe, Shelley, Thomas Mann, Ernst Toller, Fredrich Wolff, John Dos Passos, - and this list is endless!! When this torch.is dimmed, the darkness spreads over water to every distant land! The duty of the student is crystal-clear if he has any cultural evaluation of civilization. It is an evaluation which the process of history and art makes imperative. Therefore your interest in the Spain question, your cooperation against fascism should transcend politics and religion, it should spring from the deep and sibere feel- ing that a true student holds towards artistic and intellectual freedom. That is why we must know, understand and act from that understand- ing in whatever capacity we can. We but extend ourselves in Time and fight for our own preserva- tion and the preservation of Michigan University. Remember the entire picture when you read a play by Shakespeare or a poem by MacLeish. Imagine a possible time when these values will be forbidden you. Remember what I have tried to explain when you attend the music festival. On the Saturday afternoon concert the orches- tra will play music by DeFalla, a modern Spanish composer, an old man. I'll tell you something about DeFalla. He was captured by fascist rebels and witnessed these murderers torture his scuip- tor-friend Lorka to death He went insane from the ordeal. Think of this when you her him played. Perhaps it will do something to you. Think of the thousand women and children killed every month by German and Italian bombs, thinlk only for ten minutes, quietly. If you can forget and sleep easy after that, it's time to hang the crepe on the.door and count the dead. -Norman Rosten, Grad, +Tossing The Gauntlet To the Editor: I want to extend several personal invitations -or, rather, challenges-to certain misguided individuals with whom I have a bare nodding ac- quaintance but whose flaunted opinions get sharply under my skin. If these individuals have the courage of their convictions, let them sharp- en their wits, grease their tonsils, and fare forth for local combat, viz: 1. There's a beautifully-constructed blue- eyed blonde, who is taking History 92, who won'tf say hello without a formal introduction, who1 dates every night in the week, who can see no reason for the University to take some active steps for a more systematic promotion of social activities on the campus. 2. There's a tall and skinny red-head in my Economics 52 class, who quotes the Daily Worker as authoritative, who has read Marxian eco- nomics and nothing else, who thinks a human being is nothing more nor less than an animated stomach, who sees no value in any education without a class angle. 3. There's a pot-bellied professor who believes students should memorize every pearl that drops from his lips, who has never been known to change his mind, who thinks students should be turned out like automobiles, who treats educa- tion as an activity in vacuo, utterly unrelated to practical experience. 4. There's a bushy-haired, buck-toothed art student who sneers at surrealism, who thinks that because Dadaism is insane it must be in- significant, who won't try to understand unin- telligibility in art, who classes Picasso and Dali with Barnum and Bailey. 5. There's a stout and vociferous girl in a red dress, who is taking Political Science 92, who takes Roosevelt-for-King-ism seriously, who thinks government and economy don't mix, who thinks foes of the court change are traitors, who thinks it can't happen here. 6. There's a neurotic and sulphuric chemistry major who thinks that when science came in the door religion went out the window, who refuses to recognize any distinction between observing natural phenomena and understanding them, who thinks he can solve every problem in life with time and a laboratory, who is a member of the Southern California chapter of Technocracy, BENEATH **** + IT ALL N,_ 9Y Bonth William LATE THIS AFTERNOON the first of the Ann Arbor contingent will pull stakes and start the overland trek for the widely heralded region of the famous Blue Grass. Yes sir, ladies and gentlemen, sometime in the latter part of the day Commissioner Bonthron will point the snub nose of the rejuvenated Champion southwards and, hauling his home be- hind him, hit the historic Louisville trail. Accompanying the Commissioner will be three other well known handicappers, prominent in local racing circles. Colonel R. J. H. Henoch, named custodian of the trailer ice box, Steward Phil Hart, designated as official maker of the. bunks, and Judge William Bates, counter of the juleps, will be riding the home on wheels when the caravan pulls out of Detroit today. The presence of these nationally known north- ern sportsmen is enough in itself to insure the unqualified success of the 63rd running of the Kentucky Derby, officials have stated. Other dignitaries who will be present include Colonel E. R. Bradley, Mrs. Dodge Sloan, and Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt. To any who are still in doubt as to the winner of Saturday's $50,000 romp I need only mention that WAR ADMIRAL worked over the Derby route on a slow track Monday morning in 2:08 3-5. . He wheeled the last quarter in the sensational time of :26 flat and unless I miss my guess will be thundering over horses in the drive to the wire and the winner's circle in the Blue Grass classic. If the track is fast the Ann Arbor contingent feels that betting money on The Admiral is just like investing in government bonds. Of course, there are revolutions. DEAR BONTH: While this necking question is under discussion, I should like to issue an appeal on the behalf of non-combatants. I am not opposed to necking. I consider it a worthy successor to the defunct petting, spooning, and sparking. But these warm spring nights is it absolutely necessary for amorous couples literally to choke the entrances of our wom- en's residence halls? Horse blinders are all very well for winter, but in pleasant weather like this why can't we bring those goodnights out in the open, where it's nice and dark? Sihcer.ely, Betsy Mosher Newberry Jordan Cook. P.S.: Perhaps by next winter someone will have donated isseries of telephone booths (minus telephones) for each front hall. Chuck Bowen, Alpha Delt would-be playboy, was in so much of a hurry when he returned from Windsor a few days ago that he neglected to declare the new suit he had just purchased. The customs officers took plenty of time how- ever and ripped back the lapel of Chuck's coat. When they saw the Canadian label they calmly assessed Bowen 40 iron men, and then told him the suit would have been admitted duty free had lie but mentioned its acquisition. * * * * BENEATH IT ALL: Fred James will stomp and stretch at the Architects' Ball Saturday night as a Corinthian Column. Sally Pierce, as an Egyptian slave, will go chained to him . . Governor Frank Murphy stopped in at the Sigma Chi House when he was in town the other day and found the brothers in the samestate of bull tossing common when he was a Mich- igander ... The Governor, by the way, was both a member of Tribe and a Phi Beta Kappa in his undergraduate days.. . Gil Tilles is complaining again. This time he has been victimized by a fiend who entered his office and cut the pages off the desk calendar. "Now I'll never be able to keep all my committee meetings straight," Tilles wailed . . . Herb Wolf will be the Gargoyle's preposterous person when the next issue goes on sale May 13th ... Unless WE THREE MEET AGAIN... This bilge is conducted by Bonthron X Williams. Man the pumps! on this week-end at the Union. If they'll kindly show up there for the Parley, I'll promise to be around at the top of my voice. I'm getting a little fed up on the routines of the educational process. I've got a powerful yen to argue about something important and interesting and prac- tical. The Parley looks to me like just that sort of thing. * --l.W. Scientific Mind To the Editor: I notice so much in my classes the failure of the professors of the College of L.S. and A. in one important respect. It is this: However well and accurately a course may be presented, th) professor most often fails in the last and most irpportant step of showing the practical appli- cations, connections, and importance of the material to the individual's life in general and to the occupations with which the material is connected. I think this is typical of the profes- sional, scientific mind but they should not for- get that the practical application and meaning of the material they present is the ultimate and sole aim of all students not planning to teach the subject themselves. I would like to point out an outstanding ex- ample of the application of this principle and its success in Political Scence I and II taught by Professor Paul M. Cuncannon. Attendance in his classes is practically 100 per cent. Interest is unusually keen and the practical benefits of his instruction are immeasurable-all in a course THEATRE By JAMES DOLL There's Always Tovarich. By JAMES DOLL 1F YOU DON'T know what the title to the last play on the schedule of the. dramatic season means, don't be discouraged. Tovarich is, literally, the Russian word meaning Comrade. In the days just after the revolution less so now-it was used as a kind of how-d'ye-do between friends or between others wishing to show their loyalty to the party. It is pronounced in the New York production now playing at the Plymouth Theatre) Toe-VAHR-eesh. In. reviewing it for the New York Times, the morning after it opened, Brooks Atkinson said: "After the autumn drought a pleasant shower has come. There was appropriate jubiliation on the sidewalks last eve- ning. "If this column reports that two penniless Russians of exalted station anonymously take situations in a wealthy Paris home do not be dis- couraged. That is one of the dustiest of comic devices. In the present in- stance the slumming nobility are Prince Mikail Alexandrovitch Oura- tieffnand the Grand Duchess Tatiana Petrovna, who are gallant people: even the author respects them. It is only a question of time before their identity leaks out and considerably deflates their master and mistress. "But the virtue of M. Deval's com- edy is that snobbish sensationalism is not the sole point of the piece. For the Prince and Grand Duchess are thoroughbreds who ask nothing of the world they have left and are eager to belong to the world that lies before them. Since the characters have been intelligently described, the crises they pass through engenders a nice sentimental emotion. It comes late in the season here -just about the time that this de- ligtful comedy can be a welcome re- lief after an especially bad examina- tion. The cast that will play it here will be one selected or approved by Gilbert Miller who produced the play in London and New York. 8:30 Means 8:15 Here THERE SEEMS to be some misun- derstanding floating around about the Noel Coward bills. There will be two bills, each of three one-act plays or sketches, each played under the title Tonight at 8:30. This title has nothing to. do' with any of the six plays in the two bills and very little to do with anything. For the curtain here will go up on these plays at 8:15. The first program Tonight at 8:30, 1 consists of an amusing, light, conver- sational piece Ways and Means, a more serious love story with a comic sub-plot or situation Still Life, and a quiet period piece (very charming) with music, Family Album. The three short plays in this first, opening, program will be played by a cast headed by Helen Chandler and Bramwell Fletcher. Then, after the productions of The Merchant of Venice and Gordon Da- viot's The Laughing Woman, there will be another set of three short plays-Tonight at 8:30, 1I. These follow the same plan ast the first bill: a light comedy, Hands Across the Sea; a more realistic comedy, Fumed Oak; and a play with music, Shadow Play. SpringParley Issues Of Court, Sit-Ins Face Political Panel EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second article by one of the section chairmen of the Spring Parley outlining the probable issues that will arise at the panelhe will lead this Saturday. The others will follow tomorrow. By FRED WARNER NEAL In this day of Supreme Court re- organizations and sit-down strikes, our entire governmental framework is undergoing careful examination. There are many who say it should be changed. There are many who say it should be abolished. And there are many who say it should be un- touched. It is only through discussion and debate that the proper course can be found. That discussion and de- bate will be furnished at the Spring Parley section on government and politics. Do we want Nine Old Men? Or Fif- teen? Do we want to emphasize states' rights? Or do we want to give increasing power to the national gov- ernment? Shall we keep our division of powers? Or shall we centralize control in the executive? Theanswers in themselves are not important. But what is important is the path and direction in which those answers will lead us. Democracy or dictatorship? We must choose.i There are many who say we do not have democracy in the United States. There are many who do not want it. Not since the founding of the Re- public have there been so many, bit- terly-contested points of view about government demanding recognition. At the Parley they will all be given a voice. The faculty panel of the section on "Our Government" presents a va- Of Terrorism. D ISCLOSURES made by the LaFol- lette Committee in investigating conditions in Harlan County, Kentucky, long a stronghold of terrorism and rule by might, lends a new tinge to the conception of "law and order," the phrase that has been flaunted so often in the press in connection with recent labor con- troversies. The testimony of the witnesses before the Senate Committee has shown that law and jus- tice in Harlan County were what the coal oper- ators willed them to be. The local adminis- trators of the law were employed by -the com- panies, the sheriff and his numerous deputies acting in the dual role of labor spies and gun- men. Even the Governor of Kentucky has been implicated in the despotic disregard for human rights by his assertion that he found the record of Sheriff Middleton absolutely clear and that the latter had "maintained law and order in Harlan County." (Middleton is the'man who, admitted that his deputies were responsible for the atrocities against United Mine Workers' or- ganizers but who couldn't, however, remember how he "received" $100,000 in three years as sheriff.) The Governor absolved the man who permitted his aides to murder a 19-year old youth whose only sin was that he was the son of a United Mine Workers' organizer. Another organizer for the UMW testified that, a deputy came up to him and told him that it would be better to get out of the county be- fore he was killed. "This bunch will shoot you, they'll dynamite you and they'll burn you. You don't know what you're up against. They'll do anything," the witness quoted the deputy as saying. "I told him," the witness testified, "that we had come in to organize the miners peacefully, that none of our men would take a drink-that they wouldn't even carry pocket knives." "Let me tell you something," the deputy had replied, "you're a damn fool if you think you can do it peacefully. I'd like to protect you, be- cause I've known you for a long time, but I can't do anything for the others. Of course, if I pro- tect you, I'll have to have some money for it. I never do anything for nothing." A few days later, the witness continued, he found three large tear gas grenades behind the door of his hotel room at the same time that two of the organizers' cars were dynamited. The organizers left town for a few days and when they came bacls no hotel would accept them. Of course, one might say, there are the courts to which one may always have recourse. But in Harlan County the juries seem to have the peculiar knack of being composed mainly of coal operators or their friends, hardly conducive DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Publication in the Bulletin is constructive notice to all members of tale miversity.
