Student Senate And The Uiversity. . C RITICISM of the Student Senate's action in opposing the candidacy of Harry G. Kipke for one of the regent's posts should serve to focus attention on an underlying problem, which has been little appreciated by students thus far. That problem is the need and place of such an organization as the Senate in the University. In theory the Senate should be the representa- ' tive organization of the student. body. Elected by proportional representation, the Senate should reflect as adequately as any representative body can, the different and conflicting interests and opinions of the student body. While it would have no power. to put its resolutions into effect, it should, nevertheless, occupy the position of a legislative organ of the students. It should ideally concern itself with all the problems which affect students directly and indirectly, and through processes very similar to those occuring in our real law-making bodies, it should come to crys- tallize into some definite and concrete proposals the attitudes and aspirations of students. Ulti- mately, it should be recognized by. the University as the truly representative organization of the students, and it is not too idealistic to hope that some day its actions will be seriously considered on matters of educational policy, student life and living conditions. Actually the Senate has had a difficult time surviving in the face of widesprad student apathy. This has been reflected in the great number of absences of many or its members who have failed to realize the obligation which they contracted when they ran for office. It was and is an obligation the more to be observed in the light of the fact that the only way the student senate can achieve its ultimate destiny as an integral part of a democratic educational system is through the active cooperation of all its mem- bers. It is essential, therefore, that prospective candidates for the Senate in the coming elec- tions of March 31 appreciate the responsibility they undertake when they run for election, a responsibility that bears heavily upon the whole question of the right of students to ask a voice in running the University. -Albert Mayo Radi Vs~ Te Press Many debates, both in journalistic circles and out, are waged on the subject of radio versus newspapers. Many observers feel that broad- casting of news bulletins undermines the circu- lation as well as the influence of the press. Others assert that the Drinted word will remain the major public stand-by, even among regular radio listeners. An interesting light is thrown on the question by comparative. figures just compiled by the cir- culation department of this newspaper. A new Pope was elected in 1922, another in 1939. News of both elections came in mid-morning. In 1922, there was no trans-Atlantic radio coverage; this year, broadcasts described the event in great de- tail. Yet the 1922 papal election sold only 1000 additional copies, while this year the extra sale was estimated at from 4000 to 5000 copies. Analysis of this seemina paradox shonldiij n Harmon For Kipke . . To the Editor: When I left grade school and started high school, I understood that the United States of America was a land of free speech, free opinion, and free voting. After reading the article in The Daily on the action of the Student Senate con- cerning Harry G. Kipke on his candidacy for Regency, I am beginning to wonder as to the validity of the phrase, "America, the land of the free and the home of the brave." I have always been told that in America one is allowed to have his or her opinion. I have mine and from the number of people I have talked to, it appears that I am not alone in my beliefs. Perhaps I am speaking out of turn by saying that the Student Senate of the University of Michigan has no business in going on record that they are speak- ing the opinions of the student body of Michi- gan. I will match them man for man with a student who is in favor of Harry G. Kipke for Regent. I would like to know where the Senate gets their code of sportsmanship. One of the lowest acts that a person can do is beat a man down without giving him a chance, and this is exactly what they are trying to do to Kip. I am willing to bet that not m re than three members of the Senate know Harry Kipke personally. I never played football under him but I do know him as a man and in my opinion he stands ace high. If any of the members of the Senate had been around at any of the times that Harry Kipke talked of Michigan, they surely would hide their faces in shame now. I dare the Senate or any other organization of men in the State of Michi- gan to produce a man who thinks more of the University of Michigan than does Harry Kipke. Mr. Perlman, '39, has so kindly announced that he will give Kip a chance to change their minds as soon as possible. Well, isn't that just dandy, after they have all talked the subject. over and set themselves to reject whatever Kip says. I will still lay even money that. there will be a good number of the Senators who will feel so small that they will be able to crawl through a keyhole when Kip finishes talking to them. The main point of the opposition is that Harry Kipke has not qualified himself for the office of Regent. What are the qualifications for a Regent? Can any of the Rege1ts now in office produce a record better than Harry Kipke's? He has done so much for this University, both during his col- lege days and as an official of the University, that I won't use the paper to tell of them because they are all so well known. Many point out that Kipke was fired out of here and that he will use his regency to get back at the University. This statement is so false that it almost makes me laugh. First of all, since when is the Board of Regents ruled by one man? Secondly, you are speaking of a grown man who thinks more of his University than anyone alive, not a child who has just taken a terrific beating from a big boy and swears revenge. Harry Kipke is a man with a backbone made of solid steel, not rubber, and if I know him, and I think that I do, he is a man who possesses the courage to carry out his con- victions. I think that you should know that this is my opinion and is not prompted by any member of a political party. I do not claim to be a literary writer of great renown, but I hope that this a- tempt to express my opinion of the opinion of others has been clearly placed before you. I like Harry Kipke and I hold great respect for men of his caliber. If the affairs of the University of Michigan are placed in the hands of aman like Harry Kipke, here is one little boy that will not stay up nights worrying about the University. -Tom Harmon More Kipke The resolution adopted by the Student.Senate, representing the undergraduates of the Univer- sity of Michigan, asking the voters to cast their ballots against Harry G. Kipe, one of the two Republican candidates for University Regent in the April election, may have been "indiscreet," as Mr. Kipke hinted, but it certainly was not "thoughtless," as he charged. It may well be in- discreet for students of the University, many of them under voting age, and some of them from homes outside the State, to take part in a cam- paign to decide the composition of the govern- ing body. That is for the governing body to say. But if the resolution was thoughtless, it was so in the fact that it failed to consider one grave point against Mr. Kipke's candidacy. That point is that he owes his nomination to an alliance between the Republican boss of Wayne County and a representative of a manufacturing company who is a close friend of Mr. Kipke. The fact raises the question whether Mr. Kipke, if elected, would represent the people of Michigan, or the Republican boss and the representative of the motor corporation, to whom he is politi- cally indebted. What is their interest in the Uni-. versity? That is the question which worries the University's friends. -W. K. Kelsey in The Detroit News War And Peace To the Editor: With war threatening the world, it is unfor- tunate that the peace movement. or at least the organizations which supposedly desire and work for international peace, should operate dividedly and independently. But it is tragic that one such group should, with calm deliberation, disrupt the meeting of another. The disruption of the Mon- day meeting of the Michigan Anti-War Commit- be concluded, nevertheless, that radio is enlarg- ing the audience interested in news developments, °4:1i f. 51} 11 .'t tt f . miC{.tt R A - -- - inav ce tee by the combined shock troops of the Ameri- can Student Union and the Young Communist League was a bitter example of this tactic. Unfortunately for the campus the action of the American Student Union and the Young Communist League at this meeting was obscured in The Daily report. The Daily story gives the completely false impression that a large group of students came down to help plan a strike against war and became incensed when they were mal- treated by the Michigan Anti-War Committee. What happened is this: The Michigan Anti- War Committee had called a meeting of its mem- bers and supporters to plan an April 20th demon- stration. Though uninvited, these "maltreated" individuals were made welcome. They did not come to plan an anti-war strike; they came to capture it. Every possible American StudentI Union and Young Communist League supporter was brought for the purpose of taking the meet- ing over. This was no spontaneous uprising. Members of the American Student Union and YoungCommunist League worked all Monday afternoon telephoning people (and we can furn- ish the names of those doing the phoning) in a desperate attempt to move in on the meeting of the Anti-War Committee. Some persons thus invited had no idea of what they were coming to; others came for the fun that had been pro- mised. It must have been strange indeed for the American Student Union-Young Communist League coalition to find that, not being members of the Anti-War Committee, they had no vote. Do non-members ordinarily have the right to vote and take over an organization? Even in the "democratic" American Student Union, on members with membership cards are permitted to vote; casual visitors are not allowed to formu- late policy. As for the democratic nature of the meeting, there certainly can be no complaint. ASUers and YCLers were repeatedly given the floor until the time when they left, after they found capturing the meeting a little beyond their power... Their tactics alone are evidence of their inten- tions. They had already arranged for a hall in which to meet after they walked out. They had already picked Ellman Service to chair the meet- ing. They immediately adopted the American Student Union program upon convening their meeting. Do these tactics suggest a "spontaneousI uprising?" The Michigan Anti-War Committee intends to hold a campus-wide strike against war on April 20th, despite attempted disruption. The Commit-j tee intends to run this strike on the basis of a program designed to keep America out of war, to let the people vote on whether they shall go to war, to oppose the super-armament program,1 to sto the army's mobilization-day plans, and, to unite the peoples of the world in a common< struggle against all imperialistic war-makers. To those who oppose war, we extend an invitation1 and an appeal to join with us in this dramatic struggle to help keep America out of war. We especially invite them to participate in the April 20th Strike-Against-War. We invite them to at-t tend a meeting Thursday, March 30th at 8 p.m. in Lane Hall at which Fay Bennett of the Youth Committee Against War will speak. --William Muehl, For the Michigan Anti-War Committee A Reply; In reply to Mr. Muehl's letter, and as one who walked out of the Anti-War Committee's meeting Monday night, I should like to make the follow- ing remarks: The D.O.B. notice in' Saturday's Daily an-, nouncing the meeting, read, "Anti-War Strike. This year the national students' strike against war will be held on April 20. Plans for the demon- stration on the University of Michigan campus are under way, sponsored by the local Anti-War Committee and other campus organizations. Fo. those interested there will be a meeting on Mon- day, March 20, at 7:30 p.m. at Lane Hall to dis- cuss the program, details, financial arrange- ments and speakers, of whom John dos Passos (sic) and Senator "Tyc have been contacted (sic)." I submit that the meaning of the above notice appears clearly to be that anyone interested in the peace strike could participate in the work of the meeting. I was pleased upon arriving at Lane Hall (without a single hand-grenade or tommy gun in my pants pocket) to find a good- sized gathering. A professor was sitting next to me, and another behind me; neither of them,'I think, are members of the A.S.U. or Y.C.L. When the meeting began most of us present were surprised to learn that instead of an open meeting, as we had expected, it was a closed meeting of the Anti-War Committee. As soon as this was made clear, however, we adjourned peacefully enough to an upstairs room not, inci- dentally, hired in advance, leaving the meeting in the possession of the dozen or so Anti-War Committeemen. I don't know about the desperate phoning to pack the meeting. I didn't phone anyone and no one phoned me, but anyone interested in packing the meeting, could have done so with a maximum of 15 phone calls. The meeting we held upstairs was absolutely open to everyone interested, was run 'democrat- ically by parliamentary procedure, and was at- tended by very many persons who are members of neither the A.S.U. nor Y.C.L. And this brings me to the only point in Mr. Muehl's letter worth a comment, namely, the typical propagandistic device, as effective as it is insidious, of pinning the Red label on the oppos* tion. Col. McCormick does this to the New Deal every day in the Chicago Tribune, Hearst has done it for decades to all liberals. There are other It Seems To Me By H3EY WOOD BROUN STAMFORD, Conn., March 22- Oratorically the Senate of the United States is not what it used to be. The giants of silver tongue grow old and die, and the re- placement for the most p a r t is some man with no more than a silvermspoon in his mouth. But ' sartorially the upper house has never made at more elegant ap- p ea ra n ce. In- deed, one might say that the greatest legislative body in the world has gone from Bill Borah to Lucius Beebe in two generations. Vandenberg, of Michigan, recently won an award' from a convention of tailors which named him not only as the best- dressed man in the Senate but as among the most perfectly groomed men in the entire nation. Still, I should like to say as a lay- man that Tydings is hot upon his heels. The gentleman from Maryland is always well turned out. According- ly, it was a pretty sight the other day to see these two leaders engaged in friendly forensic rivalry. They spoke for the same cause. Each, in his way, grew passionate about economy, and yet one sensed a duel between these two representatives of the people. *X* * Man On Relief It was a costume contest. There was no clash in ideas. Both Vanden- berg and Tydings have a common feeling that the time has come for the man upon relief to draw in his belt. Unfortunately, neither the Michi- gan Republican nor his Democratic confrere from Maryland is in a posi- tion to put this precept into prac- tice. Naturally they both wear sus- penders. A belt can never give as neat and compact a trouser line Senator Vandenberg wore a steel- blue business suit with whiteshirt andi a dark blue tie. But this rather severei ensemble was relieved by a sky-blue handkerchief peeping timidly from his breast pocket. Tydings was in; fawn, with shirt to match, and his handkerchief was white, with a thin1 purple border. Senator Tydings fears dictatorship and says that the American govern- ment must be given back to the people. He employs a windmill ges- ture when the fervor seizes him, and the effect is rather alarming to the spectator, since one fears he may dis- lodge a button from his form-fitting coat. Vandenberg is more discreet, and even in his most fiery speeches about the sufferings of those in the higher brackets he never gets his hand above his shoulder. He is conscious, 'that such a gesture might split a seam in a costume so neatly shaped around the waist. Fights Baldness Robert Taft, the new recruit from Ohio, hardly classes withthe two lead- ers as a stylist. Either would allow him five or six strokes and a bisque. And yet, in one sense, he is the most painstaking- orator on the floor in regard to his personal appearance. Senator Taft is a leader who is mak- ing a gallant although seemingly los- ing, fight against increasing baldness. In Yale he learned the bulldog spirit7 of "Never say die," and this insures him at least a moral victory. One cannot get the full effect of the Taft coiffure unless he sits in the front row of the Press Gallery. A birdseye view is best. Mr. Taft has trained five locks to travel at right angles across the top of his massive head. The pattern rather suggests the canals of Mars as seen through a powerful telescope. Or, to choosegan example nearer home, the dome o Taft is not unlike a blueprint of the East River, the existing bridges and those which are still the nebular dreams of the engineers. It is an hero- ic hirsute achievement, which must have required months of training and a great deal of loving-kindness. And, even so, I doubt that the Taft bridge will bear up under the heavy traffic of statesmanlike ideas. Sooner or later he will have to compromise on a sub- way. any part of it was free to talk and vote against it; the majority approved the program. The program, however, is definitely not final, as was made clear at the meeting. Future meet- ings, all of which will be conducted on a democratic basis, as was this on~e, may alter or, abolish it. It's a program for the majority of the camp pus, and if the campus doesn't like it the campus can make a new one. Which can scarcely be said by the Anti-War Committee. -Joseph Gies Michigan Shang-Ri-Li To the Editor : A University Senior went hlome over last weekend, and his mother writes me as follows: "So much ex- citement on the radio, and all of it news to ******, almost as if the Uni- versity had a censorship,.So much de- tachment is beyond belief."

Aeronautical Engineering Students: There will be available in the De- partment of Aeronautical Engineer- ing two Frank P. Sheehan Scholar- ships and probably three assistant- ships for the year 1939-40. These scholarships and assistantships are in general restricted to upperclass- men and graduate students and the selection is made very largely on the basis of scholastic standing. Applications for these positions will be received up to April 1, 1939. Students wishing to make applica- tion should address them to Pro- fessor E. A. Stalker, B-47 East En- gineering Building, and should give a brief statement of their qualifica- tions and experience in regard to both their scholastic work and any outside experience that they may have had. A statement should also be made giving their plans for fur- ther study in Aeronautical Engineer- ing. Applications may be made for both the scholarships and the assistant- ships.
