It is insufficiently informative to rank as an educational program, and the laughs are few and far between. This last fact is not altogether a fault, for at least one listener finds Her- bert Hoover easier to take :" since he quit his recent efforts to function as a gag man. On this particular period he introduced only two epigrams and a single anecdote. He used the story about the little boy who found it easier to take a clock apart than to put it together again. This, it may be re- marked, is not brand new. For the most part Mr. Hoover played straight man in his role of m.c. Some commentators had voiced the theory that the ex-President might use the occasion to launch a 1940 boom for himself. As to that I do not know, although it may be significant that in his long address the only two Republicans whom he mentioned by name were Abraham Lincoln and Herbert Clark Hoover. They received approximately equal attention._ Possibly the program could be strengthened by a greater use of musical interludes. "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," was delightfully rend- ered, and the male chorus, which did the ditty about stout-hearted men, performed adequately. But the five Governors constituted a hill-billy band. It was shocking that an evening dedicated to America's greatest speaker and finest prac- tictioner in English prose should have contained so much of downright illiteracy in oratory, eco1 nomics, history and even grammar. * * * 'Win Wisconsin' Possibly the high point was reached by Gov- ernor Julius P. Heil of Wisconsin, who spoke of "laying down to sleep." But, though Governor Heil's grammar was bad, his sentiments were worse, for he indulged in a sudden and seemingly impromptu excusion into anti-Semitism by de- claring his pleasure because all the audience appeared to be composed "of Christian ladies and Christian gentlemen." And this marked the most fervent applause of the evening. Herbert Hoover referred to a series of college courses as "a curricular," and John D. M. Ham- ilton spoke of Connecticut's "Chartered oak." It was a sad night for any Nutmeg listeners. Even the most bitter political foes of Dean Cross nevei denied that he spoke invariably with ease and grace and felicity. His successor, young Mr. Ray Baldwin, apparently suffered from mike fright or got hold.of a bad Cliveden crumpet during his long wait. He got so snarled up in the last few moments of his brief address that he seemed to feel he was a phrase-maker as soon as he said "the American way." He used it five times in four sentences before it was possible to warm up another Governor on the bench. * * * None of the Governors seemed to be a pro- found student of the man whose memory was honored. "You can fool some of the people all the time," seemed to be about as far as any of the executives had gone in his homework. Governor Baldwin, for instance, pictured Lin- coln as a President who was passionate in his belief in unabridged States' rights. Carr, of" Colorado, made the extraordinary statement, "Lincoln knew little of the science of govern- ment." And Harlan J. Bushfield, of South Dako- ta, at least implied that the Great Emancipator believed in peace at any price. It would be an excellent idea if every orator on the Republican Slumber Hour were assigned to see Robert E. Sherwood's "Abe Lincoln in Illi- nois" before ever again attempting to interpret publicly the name and fame of our greatest President. And it may be that I am too captious a critic. Quite possibly the show will be received more favorably along the short wave band than here at home. 4 NIGHT EDITOR: MORTON C.

ALL THE PROBLEMS of a student newspaper came into the spotlight this week at Dartmouth with the conclusion of an 18-month battle between the administra- tion and the student body over the control and ownership of The Dartmouth, the college daily: In the spring of 1937 the Dartmouth Board of Trustees accepted a recommendation of President Hopkins that a committee be ap- pointed to investigate the "conditions under which student publications . . . are managed." This decision followed a year in which the stu- dent paper conducted, arong others, these cam- paigns: they upheld the position of the work- men on strike at the Proctor quarries in the company town of Proctor, Vt. and defended the right of collective bargaining; they lined up on the side of a proposed group medicine plan which has since gone into operation; and they went to bat for a cooperative grocery store. The investigating committee appointed by the President was headed by an alumnus and in- cluded no representation from the group most interested in the outcome-the student body. In May, 1938, 'the committee recommended the appointment of an "Alumni Trustee," who would "hold all or a controlling part of the corporate stock of the paper in trust for the Trustees of the College." They suggested that "the Alumni Trustee should have the right at any time and for reasons that seem good to him to remove any member of the editorial or business boards." One of the most significant statements in the report flayed the student editors of the Dartmouth for devoting "an inordinate amount of editorial space to criticism direct and implicit of the social order and in promotion of means which they believe useful in bringing about changes they would wish." But this was not all. The committee further censured the student editors for concerning themselves with and criticizing the College athletic program! What did the students think of these charges? They protested vigorously and the bitter battle that ensued boosted the plan into the headlines of metropolitan newspapers, slidified student, alumni and faculty opposition and forced the appointment of an arbitration committee con- sisting of the editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth, a representative of the administration and an impartial chairman. This past week the arbitra- tion committee recommended and President Hopkins accepted a new plan eliminating the "Alumni"Trustee" in favor of an 11-man board consisting of eight students, a faculty member, an alumnus and a member of the administration. The resentment of the students against the original plan for an "Alumni.Trustee" is perhaps best summed up in an editorial in the Dart- mouth last week celebrating- the victory and warning the students that the fight is not yet over, that the student members of the new board will have to guard against "unquestioning ac- ceptance" of the supposedly better "opinbns of older men." "The tendency of the student to give way to what he thinks is experience, and what is reaction, is sad and very real" The editorial continues - It mi hi a +fiai,1 . fn 6 The FLYING TRAPEZE --- By Roy Heath - Swados Takes Over (NOTE: Having Harvey Swados work- ing for The Trapeze is roughly analog- gous to having J. P. Morgan working for the office boy. Swados is one of the people on this campus who can write among many who are only laboring under the illusion. -R.H.) When Roy Heath asked me to do a guest column for him, I thought I might write something funny, because Roy always manages to keep his column pretty funny. But it's too hard these days; there are very few men writing for newspapers who can keep you entertained and still tell you about the things that are bothering them . Of course there is Broun, but I'm no Broun. So I want to tell you about a couple of things that are bothering me. First thing, I went into the lava- tory in the Angell Hall cellar the other day, and instead of the usual obscenities I found this sentence scrawled on the wall: What America Needs: A Jew Hanging From Every Lamppost. I don't care whether you believe me or not; if you go there be- fore the janitors have washed the walls you'll see it. And it doesn't make any difference that some boy crossed out "Jew" and wrote in "Nazi." The fact remains we who live in our cloistered, secluded, little uni- versity town are neither cloistered nor secluded. All the barbarians aren't in Germany, or Italy, or in Spain. Sometimes we forget that. And there's another thing I'd like to tell you about. I went downtown about a month ago because All Quiet On The Western Front was playing at the Orpheum. I'd seen it several times before, but as you know it's the kind of picture that you can see more than once or twice. Anyway, there were a couple of high school kids sitting next to me, boys of about sixteen or seventeen. In the middle of the battle scenes, those scenes which no one can ever forget, when the German boy lies writhing and scream- ing, "I can't see! I can't see!" these American boys sat there chewing their peanuts and having a hell of a good time. And they were saying things like this: "Boy, look at those Ger- mans run. Wow, right in the guts. Hey, there come the Yanks. Boy, look at them go. Zingo, right in the head." Now, I don't think I'm crazy when I say that there is a direct connec- tion between these two incidents, and I don't think I'm a coward when I say that this sort of thing is enough to scare hell out of me. But being scared doesn't do any good. Even see- ing the connection doesn't do muchI good, although it helps. So far we Americans have had a good part in handing Czechoslovakia over to the Germans, Spain to the Italians, China to the Japs. You know what I mean.I Bombs marked Made in Wilmington, Del. have been blasting the guts outI of Spaniards and Chinese. But maybe that doesn't mean any- thing to you. OK. Maybe you think it's too much trouble to drop a post-i card to Washington asking that they lift the Spanish embargo. OK. May-I be you think that the rest of the world is going to kill itself off and; leave us alone. OK.a But just remember that there is somebody in Ann Arbor who thinks it would be a good idea to hang a Jew from every laippost and that there are kids in town who like the smell of fresh blood. Think it over,, and maybe you might do something before they get you marching behindI the Leader with your arm stuck out in the air and your father in a stink- , ing concentration camp in Detroit. Think it over. -Harvey Swados Campus The leaves blowing, and the young girls blowing With the tread of leaves along the windy street: They take no heed of the wind at his busy mowing; They mock his season with laughter shrill and sweet, And insolent, and unknowing. But the wind will have them as it has the others. Like all the lovely and insolent ones before, They too will be brought to bed; they will be mothers Of dead men blown like leaves on the,,winds of war. -TED OLSON -The New Republic to Chicago's schools cannot be solved by an advisory committee."

The secretary's office has on file blank applications for annuity policies, or life insurance policies, rate books, annual reports, and specimen pol- icies, all for the convenience of mem- bers of the University staff desiring to make use of them. 2. The Regents at their meeting of January, 1919 agreed that any member of the Faculties entering the service of the University since Nov. 17, 1915, may purchase an Annuity from the above-named Association, toward the cost of which the Regents would make an equal contribution up to five per cent of his annual salary not in excess of $5,000, thus, within the limit of five per cent of the sal- ary, doubling the amount of the An. nuity purchased. 3. The purchase of an Annuity under the conditions mentioned in (2) above is made a condition of. employment in the case of all mem- bers of the Faculties, except instruc- does not antedate the University year than three years' standing the pur- chase of an Annuity is optional. 4.

The University itself, however, wilf contribute to the expense of such purchase of annuities only as indicat- ed in sections 2; 3 and 5 above. 6. Any person in the employ of th, University, either as a faculty member or otherwise, unless debarred '.y his medical examination iay, at tiis own expense, purchase life in- iurance from the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association at its rate. All life insurance premiums are borne by the individual himself. The University makes no contribu- tion toward life insurance and has nothing to do with the life insurance feature except that it will if desired by the insured, deduct premiums monthly and remit the same to the association. 7. , The University accounting of- fices will as a matter of accommo- dation to members of the faculties or employes of the University, who de- sire to pay either annuity premiums or insurance premiums monthly, de- duct such premiums from the pay- roll in monthly installments. In the case of the so-called "academic roll" the premium payments for the months of July, August, September, and October will be deducted from the double payroll of June 30. While the accounting offices do not solicit this work, still it will be cheerfully assumed where desired. 8. The University has no arrange- ments with any insurance organiza- tion exc;pt the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America and contributions will not be made by the University nor can premium pay- ments be deducted except in the case of annuity or insurance policies of this association.

IRed Cross Senior Life saving course What Other Editors Thimk Collective Bargaining Have employers become sufficiently reconciled to collective bargaining so that they no longer need to be "coerced" into such bargaining by the Wagner Labor Relations Act? Are they .will- ing, after two years of "compulsion" under the validated Labor Act, to meet and negotiate on a voluntary basis with representatives selected freely by their employees? This is the nub of the question as to whether coercive features of the Wagner Act should be eliminated by Congres- sional amendment. Dr. A. Howard Myers, New England Director of the National Labor Relations Board, addressing the Massachusetts Congress of Industrial Organizations at Springfield last week, say9 the answer is "No!" While a large section of industry realizes thAt collective bargaining is here to stay and that labor peace can be achieved only by concessions on both sides, there still are some "bitter-enders" who feel they ultimately can crush the labor unions by modifying the Wagner Act through amendments, in the opinion of Dr. Myers. He concludes, therefore, that the Act should not be modified. A iri ,ni 1 lpa viA rAf C4..A m, YTT the reason for labor organizations. We said that . . a single employee was helpless in dealing with an employer; . . . that union was essential to give laborers opportunity to deal on an equal- ity with their employer." This newspaper believes the Wagner Act should be "leveled up" in some respects, but any amendment should retain vital provisions which make collective bargaining real. -Christian Science Monitor Professors In Politics The conspicuous political activity by University of Chicago facultymen at the present time furn- ishes an outstanding example of the entry of emininent educators into government affairs, and of the possible benefit from such action. The :three-cornered race for mayor of Chicago finds the politically-conscious faculty at the Hutchins school pretty well split up. Paul Doug- las, the well-known economist, has thrown his hat in the race for alderman in the fifth ward, with the blessings of the Kelly faction. Douglas, who will be remembered for his attempts to induce Harold L. Ickes to enter the mayoralty campaign, has taken several raps at Crusader +T.nr /"n «sin I
