This solution would exclude altogether campus af- 41s from consideration by the Senate. As originally proposed, the Senate, composed I 1'wo students from each state, would consoli- te student opinion on campus, national and in- rnational issues, but the executive committee as split by debate as to whether campus ques- ons should be disregardeL in the senate. This organization would not fall into any tegorica group such as liberal, radical or con- rvative. It will be representative, nationally, of ie sectional interests of the country, and in re- ard to the campus, of a true cross section of the (udept body, since effort will be made by the Cecutive committee to see that every school and lajor field is represented by the senators. The function of providing a clear insight intq he sectional interests of the country and of giv- ig the students a working model of the U.S. enate to observe will, of course, be a definite mtribution to awakening the average student's ational interests. But by far the most important function that ie student senate could perform is that of .ystallizing student opinion on campus affairs, nce it is so representative of the students. It is be hoped that the executive committee when it eets Nov. 30 to consider the question of including r excluding campus affairs from senate dis- Ission will see fit to open the senate to the tatters which concern the students directly and Ill give them an organ to make their opinions down to the University as a whole. Carl Petersen. razil's Bloodless soup d' Etat. ROBABLY the best way to under- Istand the so-far bloodless revolution hich has overtaken Brazil is through the in- Mnsistent, turbulent and stormy career of its ader. After the Revolution of 1930, caused by :onomic depression in Brazil, Dr. Getulio Var- as came to power as a Liberal and "divided ie fruits of victory among those imbued with ie revolutionary spirit." The Buenos Aires Her- .d has declared, however, that his test of rev- utionary preferment was vague; some of the cipients were fascists and others were com- .unists but "all were united in the wish to see aat their friends shared in the new order." Vargas' first action in 1930 was to dissolve ongress, suspend the Constitution, and subject ie country to his own executive control. San aolo, the state which represents the most pow- ful economic interests in Brazil, revolted gainst his dictatorship. Vargas triumphed and as surprisingly merciful-there were no repri- i.ls. Instead, the Government called an As- :mbly which formulated the Constitution of 34. This constitution, which has now been ispended, defined the President's powers and is relations with the States, and provided for a gislative body to be elected by a suffrage that as to be "universal, equal and direct, except for eputies representing agriculture, industry and )mmerce, the professions and public function- ries, elected indirectly by their own associa- ons." A short while later, what the Manchester pletely suppressing it the government declared it had discovered evidence of communism in Brazil. Commenting on that incident the London Times declared editorially: "There is little real communism in Brazil. The Integralists, how- ever, who support totalitarian fascism, have be- come evidently stronger." This year, directly preceding Vargas' successful coup, the economic condition of Brazil was be- coming increasingly worse. The coffee industry was in a practically hopeless position, and it was becoming more and more difficult to pay the in- terest on foreign loans. The situation was man- ifestly ominous. Action of some sort was needed. The manner in which Dr. Vargas faced the situa- tion however has a distinct totalitarian color, despite his protestations that his only desire is to establish "a strong regime based on peace, jus- tice and work." His first act was to introduce a new constitution which dissolved the old Cham- ber and Senate. This constitution, which is to be submitted to a plebiscite, provides for a new Chamber of Deputies which is to be elected- by in- direct suffrage on the model of the corporate state. Minister of Justice Campos has furnished il- luminating insight into the nature of the change by demanding "active patriotic cooperation from the press." Dictatorships and military rule are no new thing in South America. But Dr. Vargas will do well to remember that Hispanic-American history has been one long saga of revolt against totalitarianism and the suppression of individual liberty rElliott Maraniss. On The Level By WRAG, Friday was one of the most gala social days to ever hit Ann Arbor. First, the new campus dime store opened its doors early in the morning. Then the Progressive Club put on a dance at Lane Hall for the cause of China, and the sorority Judies topped the aay off with the Pan-Hell Ball. The Kresge grand opening had the great- est attendance, but the Pan-Hell was the most crowded. The girls jammed so many couples into the League that one Beta waved at a brother and had to hold his hand in the air for the rest of the night. * *: * * With over a thousand people on the dance floor, the committee women couldn't even get out of the mob to lead a grand march. However, a picture was taken, and the people were jammed so close together that the photographers were able to use a time exposure and not be afraid of having anyone move. *L * * * A couple of the men at the dance had hiccups and everyone on the floor could feel a slight change in pressure each time they hicced. But the gals put on a swell party and by selling 500 tickets they saved money because they didn't have to pay for Benny Goodman in order to have a jam session. Using actual players in their regular positions who have played football throughout the coun- try this year, "On The Level" chooses what cer- tainly should be the All-Time All-American football team. This line-up-especially the back- field-should make any other mythical team stand in awe.

Northwestern ft feeinr lo Me Heywood B rou n What this country needs is a good $5 stock.1 Of late certain efforts have been made to turn the blue chips into white, but most of the gilt- edge securities are not yet down to the ginger- bread levels where we commoners can eat our cake. Once I owned a hundred shares in a silver mine. They cost a dollar a share each at the time of my purchase, and after going much lower, eventually dis- appeared. It seems the edi- tion ran out and there was not sufficient demand for an- . other printing. Still, I was never bitter at the evaporation of my in- vestment, because from the very beginning I had an inkling that some such thing might happen. My reasoning was, "John Doe silver could go up a hundred points. It can go down only once. The percentage is entirely in my favor. This is an overlay." And I still feel that there is more room at the top than at the bottom, and so I am about to buy a low-priced oil. The man tells me that although selling in the neighborhood of eight, we will make almost five dollars a share this year. But he has warned me that, of course, we won't distribute all that. A Thing Called Depreciation It seems that there is a thing called depre- ciation. That's a law. If you take oil out of a well there is no longer as much oil in that well as before you took some of it out. The man also says that we must savesome of our oil andl some of our profits for posterity. I'm against that. Did these generations yet unborn-your grandchildren and my grandchil- dren-fight the Indians, conquer the wilderness, raise up oil derricks on land which was once barren and hideous? You know that they did not. What right, then, have they to come around sniveling about depreciation? Let them dig their own oil wells. Moreover, I don't know whether the president of our company is familiar with some recent figures issued by Harvard University in regard to the offspring of alumni. It seems the average graduate has decimal point 692 children. That is, those who take the regular college course. Men from the dental school have decimal point 849. But in either case I think it unreasonable that we should be called upon to stint ourselves much for children who are at best potential and also fractional. Our company is not listed yet, but we have a nice roomy office with two stenographers who overlook Park Ave. The Chairman Of The Board Above the fireplace is a large photograph of the chairman of the board. He would be in his early 40s, and he is clean shaven. A very pleas- ant smile animate his countenance. Apparently he is thinking of the five dollars a share which we are almost certain to make this year. Our product is varied. In addition to oil three of our wells are bringing in salt water. We may decide to produce taffy as a sideline. The man says that if I get in now on the ground floor I can come to the directors' meet- ing and have a voice. He says that the officers want to know the stockholders and that if the stockholders knew the officers they would be surprised. t We are much more clubby than U. S. Steel. Be- ing a member of that organization is about as exclusive as belonging to the Yale Club. You can't possibly know all the fellows. You wouldn't care to know some of them. I am talking, of course, of Big Steel and not of the Yale Club. Yale democracy I admire very much, and I like their clubhouse. It is extremely convenient to the Grand Central Terminal, and I know of no better place in which to wait for trains. I can't agree with those who maintain that the station rest room is more homelike. Our offices are also convenient to the sta- tion. The man says that the .president of our oil company always likes to have a railroad sta- tion handy just in case it becomes necessary for him to leave town in a hurry.

KIELL Federal Theatre Appeal From New York, the Federal Theatre Project issues a call to the college students of the coun- try to get busy on American folk drama, the idea being to develop the folk drama on the one hand and supply the Federal Theatre with scripts on the other. Every college of consequence in the land will get an appeal from John McGee, as- sociate national director of the Federal Theatre, suggesting they either include the writing of plays as part of the drama curriculum or en- courage the art as part-time activity. Plays are wanted based on the method of the Living Newspaper, collectively written works, combining the functions of the research special- ist and the playwright. The first play accepted will be staged in New York City by the Living Newspaper Unit. One such play is already in preparation at the University of North Carolina, where Paul Green is assisting students to de- velop a drama of the share croppers. Tonight, from 8:00 to 8:30 p.m., the Radio Division of the WPA Federal Theatre will pre- sent the radio premiere of James Truslow Adams' "Epic of America." It will be broadcast by Sta- tion WOR and the complete Mutual Broadcast- ing System.
