To the Editor: Permit a teacher of history to express his deep appreciation of the work which the editorial board of the Daily has for some time been doing in awakening the interest of the student body in important national. and international prob- lems. In this way you can be as truly an educa- tive force as any department of the faculty, if not more so. That occasionally an editorial con- ains a statement which runs counter to my own opinions is not alarming; what would be alarming would be trite or conventional editorials aways reflecting the opinions of older people, it would mean imitation in place of thought. I am glad that peace, civil liberty and economic justice are more interesting than "Poo," "Foo," frats and football. Ten years ago that was not so. Thank you again. Cordially and appreciatively yours, -Preston Slasson. Kyser Is Too... To the Editor: Remarks in the column "Syncopation" con- cerning the ability of Kay Kyser's orchestra has led us to believe that the writer is not "up" on the recent developments of the Kyser band. He admitted a prejudiced viewpoint and, sad to say, it is so prejudiced that he has forgotten to investigate the band as it will appear here on the eve of February 11. Speaking of "whistling in the dark," it seems that the writer is not only in the dark but a deep purple haze in saying that J. Dorsey will be the "only attraction" at J-Hop. We are willing to stake our collection of current recordings of both orchestras that when dawn breaks on February 12, Kay Kyser's "artificial, effete music" will rate as high, (if not higher), in all-around popularity, as "the only attraction," J. Dorsey. The student body will at that time, we believe, despite their "tiny tot unappreciative minds," still be unprej- udiced enough to admit the excellent "swing" qualities of Dorsey's band and yet praise the all-around danceability and entertaining fea- tures of a "three for a quarter" band. We can appreciate a difference of opinion on the ability of Kyser's band, but we do think that the writer should conduct a little more research before stating in such a positive man- ner that Kyser will not uphold his share of the evening's entertainment.

To the Editor: Every girls' dormitory and sorority house has a house mother who tucks the girl in bed- every night and sees that they do not drink too much beer. Every fraternity house has a porter who makes up the beds. These poor fraternity men do not have the opportunities which the lowly freshmen in Allen-Rumsey have. Like the girls. these lucky freshmen are showered with the bless- ings of a house mother who keeps them out of mischief and protects them from the temptations of college life! She keeps the lonely vigil till the wee small hours of the night in the hope of being able to aid some erring freshman, coming home after a strenuous evening at the Bell! Late hours of course, are taboo. She secretly inspects the rooms frequently, having keys to all of our pos- sessions ,in an effort to improve the morals of her subjects. The magic eye which sees all, hears all, and knows all, manages to keep tab on who, when, and in what condition each inmate returns to the "cell block" each night. The Spanish Inquisition had nothing on the third degree procedures used in the dormitory. It is evident that the Detroit [louse of Correction trains its matrons well. The "trusty" system works as well here as in the prison from which it was introduced into the dormitory. On the whole the proctors are in sympathy with the boys in their troubles, but of course, as the old saying goes, "There is always one bad peach in each bushel." If Allen-Rumsey had nine men in charge like Mr. Peake, our faculty ad- viser, everyone would be satisfied and certain of a square deal. -The Allen-Rumsey house. I~ -m eVWOO rO H-eywood Broun When a leader is lost the fault lies in part with his followers. Many men in history have fallen shamefully, but it seems to me that these unfortunates should have the right to cry out to their critics, "Why did you raise me up so high?" I think it was a bad arrangement to admit Judas into the apostolic fellowship, in the first place. But, skipping down through the centuries, it must be ap- * parent that there is a grave tendency to confuse prin- _ cipes and personalities. Scripture advises us not to put our, trust in princes. I think the same thing holds true of political and eco- nomic leaders. Captains are necessary, and no cause can get far unless there are those who are willing to go along with some, person or set of persons who seem to be moving in the desired direction. Just the same, even in the heat of battle it is well for the enlisted man to keep his fingers crossed. He should constantly bear in mind that the cause in which he believes is of far greater importance than any single individual. This is not merely the counsel of captious suspicion; it is common sense. There is a thing called death. Even the finest leader is mortal. Man should never hang his hat upon a heart- beat. The Mass, Not The Man But short of dissolution, accident or change of mind, it is silly to try to evaluate important tides merely in little profiles of the men or women currently in the headlines. There are newspaper readers who have been led to believe that "New Deal' and "Roosevelt" are synonyms, and that the Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion can be spelled out more simply by writing "John L. Lewis." I mention two individuals who seem to me . to give brilliant service to the causes which they represent, but they are factions in the com- plete scope of the objectives to which they have dedicated themselves. Hero worship is specifically forbidden in one of the Ten Commandments, and that line is still a useful one for any party. Come to think of it, I have always wondered why "doubting Thomas" has never been recognized as one of the major saints. A Confessional Hour Leaving sainthood out of it, I must confess that I am a little worried because recently a piece was "called to my attention," as the phrase goes, in which a man accused me of being "given to periodic crushes on strong men and move- ments." If this is true it is a grievous fault and I must do something about it. But the same commen- tator that went on to attack an organization in which I take part on no better grounds than his estimate of my own infirmities of character. It was, on the whole, a somewhat charitable portrait. I could a tale unfold which would be far more horrendous. I am not attacking the amiability of my op- ponent but his logic. I thoroughly agree with him that no cause should stand or fall upon the fac+ that it i. Ire v nm -ngA manrfwinning . By TOM McCANN In our case against Kay Kyser et al., (221 U.S., 31 S. Ct. 492, (N.S.) 824, 23, Skid Foo), the evidence con- tinues to pile up, and the latest of the amazing revelations is that some people right here on this campus place Kyser above Jimmy Dorsey! Our aim, of course, is definitely not one of convincing anyone that any one band is better than another; the destruction of personal tastes in this minor regard would be fun but silly. And we don't intend to create either any enmity with anyone in our crit- icism of any band because there was a time (1928). when we thought the Lombardoes were a particularly fancy group. Our main argument against the so- called "styled" music of the Kyser- Kaye-Barron school is that it is a hy- brid in the light of the standards of American dance music set by such veterans as Paul Whiteman, Ted Weems and Red Nichols. This last group, we feel, represents the "real" dance musicians of -the nation. In a conversation yesterday with a member of the popular music de- partment of the Gargoyle on the Kay Kyser question, our conviction was confirmed that American dance mu- sic is going straight to--. But this person, no doubt, felt the same way we do about Kay and his confeder- ates. But then our case against Messrs. Kyser, Kaye and Barron continues. Checking back, we see that we've been guilty of a gross understatement in our recent evaluation of the merits of the members of the sway department. Making our feelings a little clearer in the matter, we believe today that adding Shep Fields to the trio would make a much more attractive bar- gain, going at, shall we say, five cents straight. This would give you a nice mixture, 'rippling sway," which should be something! MUSIC Calend'r THURSDAY Choral Union Concert, Gina Cigna soprano, Fritz Kitzinger accompanist.

XLVIIL No. 89 Smoking in University Buildings: Attention is called to the general rule that smoking is prohibited in Uni- versity buildings except in private of- fices and assigned smoking rooms where precautions can be taken and control exercised. This is neither a mere arbitrary regulation nor an at- tempt to meddle with anyone's per- sonal habits. It is established and enforced solely with the purpose of preventing fires.In the last five years, 15 of the total of 50 fires reported, or 30 per cent, were caused by cigarettes or lighted matches. To be effective, the rule must necessarily apply to bringing lighted tobacco into or through University buildings and to the lighting of cigars, cigarettes, and pipes within buildings-including 1025 A.H., Willey, Philippson, Su- dermann, Braun, Van Duren. 1035 A.H., Scholl.

League 0f Nations . . . Seems Beleaguered.. . T HOUGH AT ONE TIME the League of Nations was'hailed as the panacea for all world ills, economic and political, it now seems destined for that limbo which many pre- dicted for it at its origin. The so-called prophets really do not deserve much credit at that. It does not take an Aristide Briand or a Lloyd George or a Woodrow Wilson to realize that it would be just a bit difficult for a body to regulate world peace if that body's only power was the dependency on partial, in- terested powers to chastise miscreant nations. The League has an interesting parallel in American history, which did not last as long as the League did, though we expect the latter to follow it rather soon into oblivion. That paral- lel was the anaemic Congress under the Articles of Confederation which was supposed to have held the original thirteen states together and have guided them in the troubled diplomatic waters of the late eighteenth century. This confederation was expected to compete with the well-balanced and singular foreign, political and economic policies of older na- tions when its Congress had no authority to tax or regulate the commerce of the various states. Like the League, it could only make requisitions and then hold its breath, hoping that the prayer would be answered. It only took the United States of the eighteenth century eight years to decide the obvious im- possibility of the confederation set-up. Changes were found to be necessary for our country to continue its existence and these changes were luckily forthcoming or the history of the Western Hemisphere might be altogether different. It was found that the central government had to have powers to coerce its members or else that central body would soon disintegrate. The neces- sary powers were given up by the states, which surrendered a great deal of their sovereignty. And thus the League has reached the point, when it is convoked for its hundredth session on January 26, where it must receive a life draft of wholesome red corpuscles represented by an authority allowing it to enforce its measures adopted against aggressor states if it is to con- tinue. While the League has been moribund ever since its birth. the process of disintegration began in earnest when it failed to stop Japan's stealing of Manchuria in 1931 and Italy's of Ethiopia in 195 TtIv and (rmannv nrohablv considering the Final Examination Schedule, First Semester, 1937-38: College of Litera- ture, Science, and the Arts, Graduate School, School of Education, School of Forestry.. By WRAG Two heads are as good as one--except on the top of a small beer. * e The best faux pas of the week was pulled by an English professor who was discussing one of Keats' love poems in class when he came to the word "lone." He asked around the group for a definition of the word as used in the text. Miss Soanso said, "It means a girdle of flowers." Next came Mr. Blankety who said, "It means a belt of flowers." Then the prof. turned to the class as a whole aiid asked, "Now, class-which do you prcfer-Miss Soanso's 'girdle,' or Mr. Blan- .kety's 'belt'?" Max Hodge, the Garg artist and helper, is hav- ing a lot of fun with Editor George Quick. Each time Hodge has drawn a cover or anything else for the Garg this year, he has put Marcia Con- nell's name or initials somewhere in the draw- ing. Quick threatened to dock his salary if it happened again in the last issue. However, if you look closely, you will find "M. Connell" in the events of the year on Hodge's cover for last issue. A Kappa Delta judy is expecting a ring from her Irish boyfriend soon. One of her sisters said that the ring would most likely have an artificial stone in it, because, "You know how the Irish are-with their sham rocks." Talk of a new football coach still continues. Michigan is making a mountain out of a mole- skin. As Others See*I Forerunner Of Revolution? The government of Octavian Goga at Buchar- est, Fascist and extremist as it is in many ways, may in the end prove to have been merely the stepping stone for a far more radical Fascist government should the present drift toward Cod- reanu and his Iron Guard continue. The position of the present government in Rumania is in some ways like that of the Papen government in Ger- many in 1932, with King Carol occupying the place of Hindenburg. Carol will hardly be able to let his prime minister go to the lengths which Codreanu advocates, but without following a complete program of Fascism there is little chance of winning many of Codreanu's support- ers away from him. On the other hand, it would such lighting just previous to goingI outdoors. Within the last few years a serious fire was started at the exit from the Pharmacology building by the throwing of a still lighted match into refuse waiting removal at the doorway. If the rule is to be enforced at all its enforcement must begin at the building entrance. Further, it is impossible that the rule should be enforced with one class of persons if another class of persons disregards it. It is a disagreeable and thankless task to "enforce" almost any rule. This rule against the use of tobacco within buildings is perhaps the most thankless and difficult of all, unless it has the winning support of every- one concerned. An appeal is made to all persons using the University build- ings-staff members, students and others-to contribute individual co- operation to this effort to protect University buildings against fires. This statement is inserted at the request of the Conference of Deans. Shirley W. Smith. Notice to Sophomores: Second- semester Sophomores who are plan- ning on concentrating in English should elect English 33 instead of English 32 in the second semester of this year. Revised schedules for this course may be found in the Regis- trar's Office, in the Office of the Sophomore Counselors, and in the English Office. I will be glad to con- fer with students who wish to make inquiries concerning English 33.
