ANN ARBOR may be only 40 miles
from the fourth largest city in the
United States; it may have all modern improve-
ments and may be in contact with the rest of
the country and world through radio, newspapers
and telephones, but it was conclusively indicated
by a seemingly trivial event yesterday to be a
completely isolated spot on the map.
The carillon's clock was four minutes fast;I
all clocks on the campus were four minutes
fast. Therefore, 13,000 students, faculty mem-
bers, and University workers underslept four
minutes and professors hurried to their classes ,
four minutes too early.
This "catastrophe" affected hardly anyone
and probably did no serious social harg, but,
humorous as it may appear, it is not a far
cry from the isolation of the indifferent student,
calloused to the outside world, and unaware
of serious maladjustments in sections of the
city, state and country which he has never,
and probably will never see.
Southern sharecroppers live in hovels to
the disregard of "enlightened" students, under-
paid workers develop industrial diseases which, if
admitted, are discounted by these same students
and rampant lynchings are "unimportant."
A solution? Prof. Richard Fuller suggested it
when he urged college students to remember
they are living in a community, in a state and in
a nation. President Roosevelt, suggested one,
too, in his Cleveland speech when he advised
the citizens of the country to travel about and,
during their travels, to converse with the people
they met. Not to Chamber of Commerce leaders,
be warned, but to gas station employes, to
farmers, to small business men and to factory
workers.
Emotion
Pictures.,.
MOTION PICTURES are said to be
produced for intellectually lazy
people. Producers are charged with filling their
films with innocuous trivialities aimed at an au-
dience witA the intelligence of a ten-year-old
child. Undoubtedly the charges are true, to a
large 'extent.
There are, however a few popular misconcep-
tions about the film that deserve clarification.
Motion pictures are perhaps the greatest media
for mass entertainment and education yet de-
vised. The fact that the innate potentialities
have been so rarely expressed and so freely
traduced and exploited does not detract from
the art itself. There have been plenty of second
rate theatrical productions and badly-written
books but no one denies the importance and
influence of the stage and the novel.
Ann Arbor was treated last week to a show-
ing of the French film "La Kermesse Heroique."
Before long, we hope, Warner Bros. will release
the "Life of Emile Zola" for general presenta-
tion throughout the country. Both are fine
examples of cinema for art's sake. Although
well-written, well-directed and well-acted, their
they are remarkable examples of what can be
accomplished in comparison to what the situa-
tion actually is.
In this connection the announcement yester-
day of this year's program of the Art Cinema
League is of exceeding timeliness and interest.
Collected and released by the Museum of Modern
Art in New York the series last year traced Amer-
ican film development from its birth in 1895.
This year it is presenting a series called "Some
Memorable American Films."
For the student who wishes to acquire a knowl-
edge of various phases of American life this serv-
ice by, the Art Cinema League is of inestimable
value. Whether we like it or not, the cinema has
become an integral part of our contemporary
scene, and the intelligent student will try to
understand it, and thus help shape its future
course.

MEMO
FOR THE MOST debonair gesture of the week,
the wilted white collar goes to GeorgeQuick
for his statement to The Daily yesterday. He
said, "I guarantee that the first edition of the
Gargoyle will not be stolen from our office."
That's a dead giveaway, George. It is also a
graceful admission of defeat. But don't give up,
maybe you'll find some takers before the year's
over. Last year's ed., Gil Tilles, himself, had
to wait until spring. It seems that people who
want the Garg that bad are as hard to uncover
as the Third Murderer in Macbeth-and they
demand better pay than mere immortality.
And if we may we would like to add a chasten-
ing word to our colleague, WRAG, for not long
ago, we remember distinctly he was closely con-
nected with the Garg, We wish to point out
to him, respectfully of course, that in his column
yesterday he intimated rather clearly that that
ma stopped being humorous about six years ago.
Wasn't that just about the time you first were
a freshman, WRAG, old man? And, wasn't your
particular job on Gargoyle that of copy editor?
And aren't you something of the same sort on
the Daily now? We just want to know, that's
all. Nothing impertinent, you know, old fellow.

ADVENTURES IN THE LIFE OF A KID
PROFESSOR RALPH AIGLER, who in between
football games whips out a few lawyers every
year, was cab riding in from Evanston last Sat-
urday night after the Northwestern game with
Freddie Colombo. Both were keenly impressed
by the wide sweep of new asphalt and the trim
greenness of the recently opened boulevards that
route traffic from one end of the city to the other
without hitting. the snarls of Loop traffic. Fred
dropped some comment about the Chicago city
fathers (Dem.) straining all their efforts to
beautify the city. And together they sank back
to muse over 'the luxurious terrain of Lincoln
Park. The cab driver turned around and started
to hold forth on the city fathers with pointed
and piquant commentary upon their relation to
certain tree loving quadrupeds who are man's
best friends. Professor Aigler objected. "Per-
haps,' 'he said, "you are mistaken. After all, it
can't bequite that bad." But the driver went on,
enumerating the high prices, the high taxes, the
high rents, the price of meal of all kinds. Then
he heaped it all on the expensiveness of keeping
politicians in office. Again, Professor Aigler ob-
jected. This time the cab driver turned around
and with emphasis he concluded his diatribe,
"Listen, buddy," he said to Professor Aigler,
"Listen,. buddy, when you get a little older, and
when you get around a bit, you'll learn about
these things." And he turned back to the road
again with the stolid silence of an angered sage.
The quaint Theta Chis have a tradition too.
And her name is Marion Gommesen, who has
been the Theta Chi's little tradition for two
years now. The whole thing is sort of Eliza-
bethan or Bacchanalian. Every Friday she
leads them through their weekly class in Pretzel
Bending. And the scene is the Bell. Because
of rushing the first two weeks of the semester,
they had to pass up the ritual, so yesterday they
met in order to catch up. When partly caught
up they celebrated their tradition in verse, each
writing a line or two to Marion. The whole poem
Operative K9 brings in to us and we present it
with the necessary corrections in spelling and
grammar.
SONNET TO THE GIRL IN BLUE
A blond between the four of us,
A beer before the all of us-
But O, none of us-no, none of us-
Has more than one girl for all ten of us,
She sits and drinks,
And we drink too;
But we drink her beauty in,
Rather than the brew.
And the pale smoke whirls
In swift-dissolving curls,
And forms a nimbus around gold hair.
-Why-O why-do I never dare-?
So there she sits and pictures draws
Between a Lit. and future Doctor of
Laws.
Here's to the girl in blue:
We all love you,
So do not transfer to Purdue,
But stay here
And drink beer,'
So may there be within us spun
(With strands so fine and yet so strong)
Though sands be run
They linger on.)
O memory-web of this lovely maid,
Bringing joys that never fade.
-Mr. Disraeli.

IT SEEMS
TOME
By Heywood Broun
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. 14.-I think that
John L. Lewis is one of the most effective or-
ators I have ever heard. when he is at the top
of his swing. He can be dull. His best per-
formances come when the stage is set for him,
but as an intuitive dramatist he often moves
the scenery around himself. The CIO confer-
ence here afforded him the best possible spot
when he spoke on the issue of unity in the
labor movement.
Any newspaper man who is familiar with the
modes of John ,L. knows ahead of time that the
CIO chairman was going to shoot the works. Be-
fore he talked he walked. That preliminary
prowl of Lewis is one of the strangest manner-
isms I have ever observed among platform
speakers. As a chairman of long experience
Lewis presents the picture of one who is wholly
calm and self-contained. But in reality he sits
in his chair under much the same tension which
afflicts a prize fighter just before the bell rings
to indicate the beginning of a round.. And at
some point in very many sessions the president
of the United Mine Workers gets up and begins
to walk at the back of ,the platform up and
down and down and up.
* * * *
Releases Nervous Energy
I doubt whether this canter has anything
to do with the preparation of the remarks which
are to come. Rather, it is a sort of limbering-
up exercise for the release of nervous energy. The
man whose followers expect much of him is out
in the bull pen warming up. He is taking every
precaution to avoid pulling an oratorical charley
horse.
Undoubtedly Lewis began his lockstep without
any intent of embarrassing the speaker of the
moment. Nevertheless, from the point of view
of many in the hall the fortuitous diversion was
happily timed. Homer Martin, of the Automo-
bile Workers, had the floor. Mr. Martin is fa-
miliarly known to those who do not like him
as "the Leaping Parson."
Mr. Martin came to the union movement out
of a Baptist pulpit. Indeed, his contract with
the life of a motor plant was not of longer dura-
tion than a month. But when anybody says
to a Martin partisan, "Your boy friend is a
phoney," the invariable answer is, "Just wait till
you hear him speak."
Orator Martin Overshadowed
At the CIO conference in Atlantic City Homer
laid an egg. His act was tedious and unpro-
fitable. In all fairness to the young man, he was
up against a lot of competition. He came on
just after Sidney Hillman and David Dubinsky,
who are both speakers of =long experience. And
both men were under an excitement which made
them peculiarly eloquent. On top of this, Lewis
began to walk about three minutes after Homer
Martin began to talk.
From the press table the story immediately be-
came the Lewis warm-up and not the Martin
oration. Even the lighting effects were just right
for John L. Twilight raced through the windows
and in the fading illumination the extraordinary
head of the man from the mines was accen-
tuated into a jagged silhouette. Gutzon Borg-
lum, who moves mountains to make them look
like Washington or Robert E. Lee will never get a
commission to carve Lewis upon the surface of
a cliff. That would be chiselling the lily. The
face as it stands is already granite. Here is the
old man of the mountain suddenly come to life
and articulation.
You may like Lewis or hate him. For the sake
of the record I want to express my admiration.
But even from a hostile or a neutral point no-
body can listen to him when he has a concern
without admitting, "this is certainly quite a
fellow."
OnThe Level
By WRAG
Tonight is dance night again, and once more
the majority of the dates will be blind because
no one will believe it possible to get another
date as bad as the blind date they had last
week.
* * * *
In fact, one of the worst puns pulled this year
was to that effect. One of the freshmen was
overheard saying, "My second 'blind' was a
shade better than the first. but she talked a
blue streak until I told her to shutter mouth."
* * * *
This is the height of something or other.
A dumb fellow turning a deaf ear to a blind
date.
But the fellow can't be blamed. Some of the
new women on campus find that they are going
to be very popular after the first two weeks, so
they let their brains go on a permanent vaca-
tion.

A laugh came when one of the above typed
senior girls complained to a freshman for
cutting her away from one of the campus big
shots at one of the early dances of the year..
