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.

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. --N.Y.

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 City Hall 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 aviators who fly from Moscow to the TTnitedl
