Paul McNutt Is Riding High,. VOL. XLVIII. No. 103 ASL ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, FEB. 26, 1938 PRICE FIVE CENTS Poor Gri( DidNotF( Ouster, A Board head Asserts Real Reason Was Not Given Because Not Necessary Criser Given Three Year Contract Here Flatly stating that Harry G. Kipke was not dismissed as head coach of Michigan's football team because of the failure to win games, Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, chairman of the Board in Control of Physical Education, yester- day upheld the board's action in a radio broadcast here. Although Professor Aigler failed to clarify certain "conditions," which he declared were instrumental in the board's action, it was generally be- Iieved on the campus that those fac- tors affecting Kipke included: () Dubious private associates. (2) Activity in organizing and ad- ministering subsidies contrary to Big Ten practices. (3.) Sanctioning of summer prac- tice, which is also a violation of the Conference code. (4.) Failure to maintain the con- fidence and respect of his own staff of assistants. (5.) General incompetency. Crisler Gets 3-Year Contract Aigler also revealed that the newly- appointed Coach, Herbert 0. (Fitz) Crisler had been given a three-year contract, wlich is a divergence from past University policy of hiring its coaches on a yea-to-year basis. Aigler asserted that the reasons for Kipke's ouster had not been made public becaue "it is not necessary." 'The matcr of Kipke's contract I had been under discussion for a year prior to the announcement of its termination," Aigler said. "If mcm- bars of our board had voted accord- ing to our convictions without regard to other Lctors the action would have been taken more than a year ago. We delayed it in an effort to avoid injustice and hoped that in a year's time the conditions would be cleared up." Does No Tell Conditions He did not explin what was meant by the term "conditions." Discussing the silence that has pre- vailed concerning reasons for Kipke's ouster, Aigler said: "Many institutions have terminat- ed their (football, coaches) contracts without a published statement of the reasons. It will suflice to sa'y that all of the 14 members of our board hadd agreed in taking the action that wa taken." In reply to comment that the Board was "unfair" in that it did not permit Kipke to resign, Aigler said: "The action of our Board which provided that notice should be given that the contract would not be re- newed contained a further provision that Mr. Kipke should be given an op- portunity to resign. But for a reason which he thought was suilcient h' did not do so.

"Specifically," the President con- tinued, "the student is within his right to question the appropriateness of the halo of ethical sanctification over economic expediency or to chal- lenge the calculated and unrelenting pursuit of profit." Universities Not Rede He pointed out that, far from bcimg "red" or even liberal, our universities are, on the whole, really the strong- holds of conservatism, and important in maintaining the "status quo." "Even more," the President stated, "these institutions tend with age to become crystallized by tradition. reg- ulations and departmentalization un- til with them the term "liberal edu- cation" is a travesty, and they func- tion as molds into which students are poured to emerge either as a uniform product or as rejects of the process." "Thus," Dr. Ruthven said, "an evi- dence of unorthodox thinking, the slightest tinge of pink, becomes (On- spicuous as a departure from the norm and causes a spasin of hysteria in timid souls who are fearful of being disturbed."

The two Austrian-born leaders of the German people--Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and Schuschnigg--are farther apart today than they ever have been. A number of leadin Nazis in Berlin said that Schuschnigg had failed to seize an opportunity inhis'speech yes- terday to the Austrian Parliament to support Hitler and, therefore, must go into the discard. They said the "a'- dress was his swan song." Indignation was felt that Schus- chnigg had praised Italian Premier Mussolini for his interest indAustria's independence but had failed even to mention Hitler by name, much less praise him as a friend. Official Germany expressed the opinion, however, that "there is no evidence whatever that Mussolini had anything to do with the Schuschnigg ;peech." Unofficial Nazi comment, imme- diately after conclusion of the speech which was broadcast to Germany as well as Austria, had emphasized that Schuschnigg "is finished.history will take its course without him." "Austria is ours," one commentator said.

The forthright speech of Schus- ,hnigg to parliament last night led ',o wide conjecture that someody or omething had given him the assur- ance to speak so boldly of indepen- lence and freedom in the face of Ger- mnan support of Austria's Nazis, One widely believed report said Schuschnigg had talked to Italian ?remier Benito Mussolini by telephone efore the speech and was told to speak out. France May Follow Britain PARTS, Feb. 25 .-(A-A"Premier Ca- niille Chautemps sought a clear man- 'late from the Chamber of Deputies 'oday to follow Britain's new diplo- 'nacy of conciliation to Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Despite fiery epithets and a near ist fight on the Chamber floor at he start of a twoday debate on his foreign policy, the Premier's supports eredicted he would win a vote of 'onfidence. The vote was expected tomorrow night. Yvon Delbos, foreign minister, and Francois De Tessan, undersecretary for foreign affairs, followed the tumul- tuous session closely, striving to keep the majority in line behind the cab- inet. Gries of "spy!" and "traitor!" rang hrough the verbal battles. "The time has come to admit that the People's Front government led -'rance into financial, economic and 'olitical bankruptcy both at home and abroad," shouted Marcel Baucher, a rightist Independent, over boos and hisses from the left.
