More Blood For Der Fuehrer .. . ADOLPH HITLER is going to receive a Christmas present from the stu- dents of Dartmouth College. And, if he is lucky, he will win five dollars besides. Each student has been asked by "The Dart- mouth," undergraduate newspaper, to contribute one penny toward the purchase of human blood. The money will be used to purchase four vials of blood, one each of Jewish, Mongolian, Aryan and Negro. On Christmas morning Hitler wil receive a neat package. Accompanying it will be a note pointing out that if Der Feuhrer or any of his assistants can distinguish which kind of blood is which, "The Dartmouth" will lessen the German financial crisis with a contribution of five dollars. The Dartmouth chemistry department has declared that it "is impossible by any knov scientific means" to distinguish the blood. But Herr Hitler, secure in his mystic ideology, has little regard for science. If he cannot wiz the five dollars any other way, he undoubtedly can set up a special board which will declare all the blood "spiritually Aryan." But no matter what the result, the acute wit of the Dartmouth under- graduates has put across its point. -Stan M. Swinton Cooperative Medicine Off The Shelf .:-- SINCE THE TIME that Emerson shocked the academic world with his plea for thinking men instead of bookworms, educational reformers have urged that university students forsake their ivory towers. Student and faculty groups alike have argued the importance of the student as a potential citizen and have attempted to arouse universities from their lethargy. By slow steps more and more students have responded to their efforts. Universities are no longer regarded as book-lined cells, convenient places to spend four years completely isolated from the rest of the world. Tangible evidence of this comparatively new attitude on the part of students is afforded by an organization which has chapters on two hundred campuses through- out the country--the American Student Union. This organization, embracing some 30,000 stu- dents, believes that the student body has a definite function not only in working for much needed campus reforms, but studying the world situation, discussing the manifold problems which face our present day society, weighing possible solutions and lending support to those they deem most worthy. It is without affiliations and aims at securing as broad and democratic a representation as possible. During Christmas vacation, representatives of the ASU from the leading colleges of the coun- try will meet in New York City to discuss three general topics, "The University We Want to Study In," "The America We Want To Live In," and "The World That Will Give Us Peace." Dur- ing the four day session they will treat subjects ranging from student self government to the Munich peace, NYA jobs to the Spanish war. With the ideas garnered from fellow students and from the nationally-known figures who will address them, they will try to formulate policies which will make the campus "a fortress of dem- ocracy." The work that these students will do is im- portant. More than a large scale bull session, the convention is a means of instructing youth to a fuller realization of its place in a changing world. As such it should win the commendation of educators who believe it important that a university train its students to be leaders of their communities. President Roosevelt expressed this thought in a letter of greeting to the ASU convention last year, when he said, "It is encouraging to find that there are students sufficiently socially minded to devote four days of their brief Christ- mas Holiday to a discussion of our country's social and economic problems. The schools of ol.r country, especially the colleges and universities, are expressions of democracy's interest in youth. The fact that large groups of students on their own initiative, are taking up national problems is evidence that our institutions of learning are getting results." -June Harris Gaines Decision In a 6-to-2 decision, the United States Supreme Court holds that Lloyd L. Gaines, a Negro, is entitled under the fourteenth amendment to a legal education in Missouri equivalent to that provided for white students, and that his exclu- sion from the law school of the University of Missouri because he is a Negro is a violation of the provision of the Constitution forbidding a state to "deny to any person within its jurisdic- tion the equal protection of the laws." Chief Justice Hughes wrote the opinion. Justices M- Reynolds and Butler dissented., Gaines is a graduate of Lincoln University, a school of higher education maintained by Mis- souri for Negroes. Although the act creating Lin- coln University authorizes development of the school to provide the same opportunities as those at the University of Missouri, no law school has ever been established there. To remedy this de- ficiency, the State offers to pay the tutition of Negroes desiring a legal education at universities in other states Gaines did not apply for such tuition, but in- stead decided to institute a test case. He applied for a writ of mandamus to compel the university to admit him. The writ was denied in Circuit Court and the judgment was affirmed by the unanimous decision of the Missouri Supreme Court. That court, in an opinion by the late Judge Frank, based its affirmation on the ground that public policy in Missouri has been to segre- gate the white and Negro races for educational purposes. It held that, by offering to pay the tuittion of Gaines elswhere, the State had ob- served the principle of equivalent opportunities. In' its decision, the Missouri Supreme Court naturally gave heavy emphasis to Missouri's Constitution and laws as the expression of pub- lic policy. The United States Supreme Court brusied aside the more realistic approach of the Missouri Supreme Court, deciding the issue on a basis of pure logic, and since the court of last resort has spoken, there is nothing for the State to do but open the University of Missouri to Negroes who apply for law degrees or to provide a law school at Lincoln University.I -St. Louis Post-Dispatch Liberals. In Democracy President Roosevelt in his speech at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, quoted an unnamed friend as observing that the youth of America feel they are "going places." This was a way of saying the Nation was keeping up with the im- plications of Justice Cardozo's remark, "We live in a world of change . . There is change wheth- er we will it or not." TODAY i WASHINGTON -by David Lawrence- WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-Both and Mrs. Roosevelt, by their action this week, have removed from criticism their respective activities in connection with the sale of books or the making or radio speeches on so-called commercial programs. Mr. Roosevelt revealed that all money from the sale of his books will go toward a specific public purpose-the building of a library on his estate at Hyde Park Which the Federal Government it- self is to become the owner. The President's wife revealed that she had decided to ignore a treasury ruling of a few years ago whereby she did not' pay taxes on earnings from her speeches, lec- tures, etc. Mrs. Roosevelt herself never intended either to evade or avoid the payment of her taxes. In fact, she went to the treasury in advance with. her proposed contract for public speaking to learn" if she had to pay taxes. A kindly official made a ruling which was subject to public criticism be cause it was at variance with other rulings. The decision of Mrs. Roosevelt to ignore it is a splendid example of civic honor and of an un- willingness to accept special privilege, even when profferred her in technically approved form. Considerable Discussion The incident came in for considerable discus- sion among tax experts, who pointed out that only a certain percentage of one's income can be given to charity without paying taxes. The net result of the new plan to be adopted by Mrs. Roosevelt is that the government will get more out of her earnings and she will have a free hand to dispose of less of her income than she did before. This, however, is the plight of many a persoi in the upper brackets who wants to donate 'money to charitable institutions. The govern- ment nowadays steps in and takes its share for its own purposes first and reduces the bal- ance that can be given away by the taxpayer. Indeed, over and above a certain per cent allow- able for charity, the government at present im- poses a gift tax, too, so, all in all, charitably in- clined persons have less and less to say about what happens to their income. As for the President, the controversy which arose in connection with the sale of his books and the data of press conferences turned on the fact that no'disclosure of purpose for the use of the proceeds was made, and only after the, President's action was criticized was it officially announced that some public purpose was in the President's mind, and that he did not expect to profit by the transactions. Close friends have known for some time about the President's desire to have erected at Hyde Park a building to house his official and private papers for the benefit of students of history. Just how much will be avail- able for this object will depend again on how much the President has left after paying income taxes. Doubtless it will be necessary for the library project to be incorporated in some legal manner in order that the President might make a gift to the institution he has in mind. No Details The public, however, will not be concerned with details since now all has been made plain con- cerning the sale of books to the public by tlk President relating to official proceedings of the government of which he has a part. The implica- tion which was widespread for a brief interval and which this correspondent took occasion to help nullify as soon as the President revealed that he would give the proceeds to a public pur- pose has unquestionably remained to some ex- tent, but now will be cleared up because of the detailed announcement of the President's plan. There always will remain subject to debate the question of whether any President or any member of his family should engage in any business transactions involving the sale to the public of particular commodities-either books or services-because many Americans feel that the prestige of the White House should not be associated with anything that is sold to the public. espeially when radio sponsors who com- pete with other companies get financial benefits by employing members of the President's en- tourage. But, however opinions may differ on this point, the all-important fact remains that neither the President nor Mrs. Roosevelt is to profit personally by any of these activities, so there cannot be the slightest blemish on their respective records of official or personal integrity.

We here at Michigan State have come to look upon our neighbors at Ann Arbor with a kindly benevolence, suitable to the feeling of an adult for a wayward child.

"Say, buddy," the stranger inquired, "could you tell me where a fellow could get a glass of beer in this town?" Kelsey was so flabbergasted for a spare moment at the thought of some Michigan man not knowing where the amber is dispensed that he gaped at this unnatural specimen. It was inconceivable to the young Daily reporter, who has matured in the tradition that beer taverns were as necessary an adjunct to a well-round- ed education as Angell Hall. Con- vinced finally that the lad was not a gagster, but honestly thirsty, Kelsey directed him to an oasis, and resumed his journey, preoccupied now with the idea that maybe some people were here for an unadulterated education. * * k OCCUPANTS of Rooms 7 and 7A at the Health Service whiled away a few hours the other day com- posing the following ode: ODE TO A THERMOMETER (Or why I don't keep my mouth open all the time.) I think that I shall never see A tube as bothersome as thee; You enter the cavern of my mouth Like a north bound train going south. You come around ten times a day The numbers on you do portray The rise and fall of body heat, -'Tisn't always right, perhaps we cheat.

Under the proposed plan of the Ann Arbor Cooperative Health Association a doctor will be paid a regular, guaranteed salary from the dues. paid by the members of the association. There will be no interference by the association in any medical matters; the aim is to leave the doctor- patient relationship as before. The doctor is merely placed on a. salary basis, instead of be- ing dependent on the uncertainties of illness, Equal security will be offered, it is hoped, to all members of the organization. Sickness will not be followed by debt, and the worry of the en- suing doctor bill need not add a mental hazard to aggravate the patient's physical ills. The plan will assure members of a great meas- ure of preventive medical care in that they will be free to seek early advice instead of allowing their ills to become critical. Naturally this means more frequent consultations and exami- nations. Consequently the doctor will be ex- pected, as far as is humanly possible, to keep his patients in good health, as well as to cure their ills. The importance of this local step can be readily seen when it is placed against the back- ground of our present system of medical care throughout the nation. Thirty-eight per cent of our people receive no medical aid even when they are incapacitated. Less than three per cent of the country's doctor bill goes for preventive medicine. Doctor bills seem invariably to come' eighty epochs revealed herself as a man-hater of no mean ability.

Morning- star, 51, was born in Greenville, O., and graduated from the University of Michigan.
