NIGHT EDITOR: SAUL R. KLEIMAN
Friday's
Riot. . .
THE STUDENT RIOT Friday night
has so many ramifications that
we are at present withholding the bulk of our
comment.
Our general attitude as to the night's pro-
ceedings is "A plague on both your houses." The
police were at fault, but so were students. A cer-
tain merchant was also at fault.
A distinction should be pointed out between
police action last night and that in the Ann Ar-
bor Recreation Center picketing. Friday night
police were protecting property; last spring they
were acting contrary to the Wagner Labor Act.
We also wish to pose a question to City Attor-
ney Laird. "How does Friday night's mob, which
was of the type you said you liked, compare with
that at the Recreation Center last April 9?
"In deciding your answer you might run over
the comparative lists of injured."
Academic
Freedom. .
P ROFESSORS are the greatest en-
emies of academic freedom. This
unique view, which might well be called The
Great Collegiate Paradox, is set forth in the
current issue of Harpers by Donald Slesinger.
As one-time assistant professor of law and ex-
ecutive secretary of the Institute of Human Rela-
tions at Yale and then professor of law, Dean,
and chairman of the Science Research Com-
mittee at the University of Chicago, Mr. Sles-
inger is in a position to expose the pathos behind
the recurrent appearance of the issue of Ac-
ademic freedom.
His thesis is that professors used the slogan
of academic freedom as a weapon of reaction in
places where it was irrelevant; "where it was
relatively unimportant, they gave it lip service
but no cash; and where it really mattered their
opposition was open and bitter and unscrupu-
lous."
In many cases where the cry of academic free-
dom is raised, "the real issue is the violation
of the sacred tradition of security of tenure;
but that issue is too purely economic to provide
a rallying ground for public opinion."
"In the political and economic spheres aca-
demic freedom has been useful in preserving a
modicum of independence, but in these spheres
it is relatively unimportant. It isn't only Jerome
Davis who may go to Russia or Glenn Frank who
may vote Republican. You and I may do either
with impunity, and if we lose our jobs as a result
of our convictions we deserve as much support
from public opinion as they do."
What rights, if abrogated, would entitle a
professor to protest on the grounds of academic
freedom?
"The historic battle for academic freedom was
waged, not so much to give the scientist the
right to vote, as to give him the right to dis-
sent in his own field. The advancement of
science depends on the power of independent
thought and the denial of authority."
Mr. Slesinger criticizes the defense that is
usually raised by professors when some of their
number art threatened with a true interference
with progressivism as in the Walgreen episode
at the University of Chicago. "Instead of pro-
claiming the professors' right to their convictions
they wanted to build up an impressive case
proving that they had no convictions. Faculty
association with the Republican party, the Chi-
cago Rotary Club, and the Christian Church
was to be played up while anything that smelled
of left of center was not to be suppressed but
voluntarily enjoined."
"The Walgreen episode at the University of
Chicago ended, it is true, in a complete vic-
tory for freedom, but the battle was won in
spite of the half-hearted and ambivalent sup-
port the faculty gave the president.
"If Mr. Gallup had taken a poll a week or two
after the story broke I am confident that a clear
majority would have favored the sacrifice of the
professors under fire."
"The professor is paid to discover and teach
the truth, and complete freedom of thought is
essential to the performance of his duty. That
freedom must be protected, even from the pro-
fessor himself."
IT SEEMS
TO ME
By Heywood Broun
"Everybody talking about Heaven am' gwine
there." So runs the spiritual. And so runs the
world, for there are those who prate of liberty,
extol freedom, dedicate themselves to democracy
and yet move precisely in the opposite direction.
Some of these days Gocs chillun are going to
put on their shoes and walk all over God's heav-
en, but in a world of false prophets they must
weigh not only the words but ,the inward grace
of those who would lead the way.
And most of all we must fear those who give
lip service to the fight against Fascism and still
take up the very weapon which Hitler and Mus-
solini used in their drive toward power. Der
Fuehrer and Il Duce diverted attention by set-
ting goblins and ghosts to dancing. They be-
fogged the electorate with a mist of ectoplasm
and behind this screen they crawled into the
seats of the mighty. These witch doctors of the
western world caused the apparitions of their
own creation to clank dolefully and then cried
out, "We alone can exorcise these evil spirits."
They Use His Very Words.
And practitioners of the same sort of black
magic parade before us in America. Oh, yes;
they hate Hitler and his works, but they use his
very words and generously adopt his devices.
Hardly had I expected to hear again about
"The nationalization bf women." Fascism has
made its women no more than krine set to the
task of bearing calves for the munitions market.
There was an Italian mother who lost her
three sons in the crusade to bring civilization
to Ethiopia, and Mussolini honored her in the
course of a great review. He patted her cheek.
Perhaps he gave her a lump of sugar.
The Fascist leaders frightened the middle
classes by pretending to believe that the trade
unionists were about to murder each peaceful
citizen in his bed on the first night the moon
dipped below the clouds. And here we have
those who profess to abhor the Nazi chief and
all his works, and yet play his game by labeling
every progressive movement in labor as a Red
menace.
The very spinal cord of democracy lies in the
faith that government must serve the needs and
necessities of the masses of mankind. I am not
contending that the voice of each passing ma-
jority is the voice of God. Dicussion, debate,
reconsideration and change of mind all are es-
sential to democratic procedure. But if small
entrenched groups can consistently defy the will
of the many, the men and women who celebrate
such rule are Fascists no matter if their protes-
tations rise to heaven.
* * * *
The Masses Want Democracy
I look through the headlines and I see, "Armed
Band Wrecks Strike Headquarters," "Mayor
Bans Outside Agitators," "Judge Warns Police
Against Codling," "Chamber of Commerce Asks
Strong Hand." Are these a proper part of the
record of democracy?
There have been those who stood in crowded
halls and earned applause by beating the breast
and declaring against all 'foreign isms," and
many of these very men are the instigators of
"citizens committees" and espionage and "Save
America" societies.
But the masses of America want democracy
and will have it. God's chillun will put on their
shoes and dance all over God's heaven. Some of
these days.
On Th- Level
By WRAG
Well, Michigan threatened yesterday, but so
did the weather.
* * * *
However, there were some consolations for
Michigan after the game was over. The home
team converted more points after touchdown
than State did. The only trouble was that Mich-
igan didn't score enough touchdowns.
S* * * *
Another consolation can be found in the fact
that Johnny Pingel won't be back again until
next year. The team managed to stop most of
his runs so that he only averaged about eight
yards each time he carried the ball, but they
couldn't do anything about his ability to hit a
thin dime in the middle each time he touched the
ball.

Gone Frorever
THE DECLINE of a kind of under-
graduate life that may be sug-
gested by a few words from its special
vocabulary - the college life of
"studes," "f r o s h," "profs," "old
grads," "prexy" and general siss-
boom-ah-may be viewed with alarm
in the most remote and retarded of
fresh-water colleges. Elsewhere the
rah-rah days (which the older East-
ern universities began to outgrow a
generation ago) are already the mer-
est remembrance of childish things;
the days when college letters entirely
covered the chest of a heavy turtle-
neck sweater, and a bulldog pipe with
class numerals and the "frat" pin also
stuck out like a sore thumb, the lat-
ter sometimes, in extreme cases, but-
toning back the turned-up front of
a wide-brimmed pork-pie hat.
Class distinctions of any sort seem
to be blurring, a freshman and, a
sophomore with similar backgroun
and tastes often becoming thick as
thieves, according to Dean Gauss of
Princeton in a recent magazine ar-
ticle.
It is beginning to be suspected on
all sides. that, among other things,
a college or university is a vantage
point from -which the life of one's
times and its deepest background
may be studied purposefully for four
years or more, rendering unto the
football team the regular yells that it
is accustomed to, but no longer fear-
ing general ideas and scholarship as
unfitting young men for life.

THE FORUM

M"
Unbecoming An Officer
The Right Of
Mr. Black. ..
T OMORROW, Justice Hugo L.
Black will take his place on the
bench of the Supreme Court of the United
States. And no longer can there remain any
legitimate doubt as to Mr.Black's right to occupy
his post as an associate member of the highest
court in the land.
Friday night the former Senator from Ala-
bama reassured those who believed in Mr. Black
before the concerted campaign -to portray him
as an intolerant bigot was begun. The justice's
talk was a methodical, sincere explanation of his
position on the fundamental questions of racial
and religious intolerance which should leave, no
misgivings as to how Mr. Black feels about any
organization which is dedicated to the depriva-
tion of civil liberties from any group because of
relgious or racial convictions.
We feel that Mr. Black's record of lib-
dropped and forgotten as soon as possible. It
was unfortunate for Mr. Roosevelt and for Mr.
Black that the latter was at one time a mem-
ber of the Ku Klux Klan. Naturally it das right
that Mr. Black be questioned as to his present
relationship with the Klan and as to his tol-
erance toward racial and religious groups, al-,
though we are inclined to doubt that the motives
of Senator Copeland and others were as altru-
istic as they would have us believe.
We feel that Mr. Black's record record of lib-
eralism during his eleven years in the Senate is
ample evidence of his social and political phi-
losophy. There is little reason to fear that Mr.
Black's decisions on the Supreme Court bench
will be bigoted or provincial. And to those who
object to Mr. Black's appointment to the court
on the grounds of his liberal attitude: Need any
more be said? Even Boake Carter wrote that
President Roosevelt could hardly be expected to
appoint a reactionary to the bench. (This, inci-
dentally, is a remarkable concession for Mr. Car-
ter to make.)
The reasons for membership in the Klan on
.tha nart .R~hm nliien is sating.
To the Editor:
I am enclosing a letter which I have written
to the mayor of our illustrious city, in the hope
that you may see fit to print it, or find it useful
as material for a well-timed editorial upon the
lousy and bullying attitude and tactics of the
local constabulary. -
If I have been able in any way to help clear
up a filthy situation, I am very glad.
-Richard G. Eubank.
His Honor the Mayor

Ann Arbor, Michigan
Your Honor:
Regarding the untoward, unwarranted and
totally unnecessary activities of the Ann Arbor
police force in the wreckless land abandoned and
seemingly unqualified use of tear-gas upon a
group of students, a great many of whom were
women, on the night of Friday, October 1, there
is the activity of one officer, number 18, which I
feel should come to your personal attention.
Tear-gas is an expensive and also dangerous
weapon to be used and should not be indiscrim-
inately used or unnecessarily wasted. This
officer, number 18, was so usingFand wasting this
gas at a distance of at least one block from
the central activities of a group which had start-
ed a bonfire on the center of State and N. Uni-
versity streets.
Quite a group of students of the University
had sought shelter from the gas at a distance
of about a block when this officer, number 18, a
supposed and yet shameful representative of
our citizenry, commenced his wasteful, unneces-
sary, and harmful activities upon the fleeing
group.
Myself, having left one of the State Street
restaurants, in the company of a young lady,
was, driven with the group to seek shelter, when,
confronted by officer 18, who in a manner totally
unbefitting the position which he holds de-
manded who I thought I was, turning his stream-
ing tear-gas pistol directly into our faces,
causing a great deal of pain and temporary loss
of sight upon the part of the young lady who
was with me; and upon my reply that I,as a
citizen, bitterly resented his unjustified, unwar-
ranted and unauthorized assault upon our per-

And Half-Hercules Renda was one of the
brighter spots. He's only five foot four, but,
as State found out, he's tali enough to fall
across the goal line.
Ironical as it may seem, Farmer showed the
bovine boys a thing or two about plowing
through, but Ciolek was the ones who ran the
well known "country mile."

Moral victories are never recorded, but the
Michigan stands can claim superiority in the
Band, the goal-post defenders, and in the ability
to hold liquor.
Liquor consumption in the Michigan stands
seems to have decreased. For the last three years
the crowd has had nothing to celebrate, and it
hasn't been happy enough to drown any sorrow
