C AMPUS OPINION seems to be swing- ing solidly behind an effort to revive of Michigan's finest traditions-the Union )uring the years between 1907 and 1925, other campus activity received as much en- .siasm and interest as Mimes, the dramatic anizatiori which produces the operas. At es .hnore than 500 students tried out for the t, chorus, committees and orchestras. Cam- artists entered the poster contests in droves; lent musicians wrote Michigan songs that still sung at every musical bull-session. 'he achievements of Mimes during those years 1 like the press-book of a professional dra- tic company.

The oldtimers hope the Union is planning a new attempt; fra- dities are willing to lend their support.

It is worse 'than that. The management itself seems subject to the charge of being corrupted through and through with idealism. The New York American League Baseball Co. has not gone in the red, as far as I know, but its gains have been gravely curtailed by the fact that recent races have been runaways, with all th contests in the latter part of the season consti- tuting nothing moer than academic exhibitions: And when the series crown is gained in fop straight games the bread comes right out of the mouths of the magnates. And yet President Ed Barrow sits chortling in the counting house and seems to say, "Money isn't everything." * * * Bores From Within The National Manufacturers' Assn. should cite him as one who bores from within against the capitalist system. Not only would the coffers of the club groan more vehemently than at present in the event of a tight race, but there are spares upon the roster who would bring a rich price on the hoof. And the stars of the team are pearls almost beyond price. Joe DiMaggio if placed upon the block would fetch a sum beyond that of any old master. Not even a Leonardo could command such a fabulous figure as Giussepi unadorned. Seemingly, the brewer's heirs have strung along with Omar rather than the vintners. They are inhibited from trading by their perplexity as to what they could purchase one-half so precious as the stuff they might sell. So great is. their pride in Ruffing that they refuse to let him out for revenue or a Rembrandt. And no hope of greater equality in the game looms ahead. The pursuit of happiness by the rival owners is little better than a wild-goose chase, since along the racks replacements lie maturing for some day to come. When Gehrig went the way of iron men up popped DahlgreA, and Keller seems another Ruth fit to follow the Babe in laying about amid the alien corn. Gor- don is already tops, although a juvenile, and Dickey admit'tedly one of the great receivers of all time. * * * Petty Pitchers Hurl In other words, we bestride the baseball world, and petty pitchers hack helplessly at the ankles of the-Yankees. This is bad. It adds fuel to the hate of those in the hinterlands who insist that New York is not properly a part of the Union. And it does not satisfy these protesters that annually the Giants and the Dodgers are offered up as sacri- ficial goats to atone for the virtues of the Yankees. In the old days men who had the welfare of the national game at.heart sent misisonary expe- ditions to Japan, England, Australia and other remote corners of the globe so that the unlettered savages might get a touch of American culture and learn to cry out, "Kill the umpire!" But missionary work is also needed here at home. ,Surely we ougth to send a pitcher down to Wash- ington in order to introduce baseball to the nation's capital and convert the Senators and Representatives from their present passion .for rounders as conducted under the leadership of Clark Griffith. Bremen Mystery Solved To all the theories about what has happened to the Bremen, T. R. Ybarra adds the possibilities that she may have been converted into a sea raider like the Kronprinz Wilhelm during the World War, or that her captain may have ordered the sea cocks opened to prevent capture and, incidentally, give modern history its most notable case of maritime hara-kiri. More conclusively, a radio wag reports that the ship has been found on Cape Cod-in a glass bottle. It is strange that everybody has overlooked the real explanation of the ocean greyhound's dis- Of ALL Things'. B..y Morty-Q .. . THE young lady walked into the room, said: hello, dropped her books and coat on a desk, walked over to a typewriter, sat down and started to cry. Sniffing. Sniveling. Blowing her nose. Poor girl, thought Mr. Q. Perhaps she is in need of aid; perhaps she needs a nickel for a glass of milk. So Mr. Q., ever the gentleman, sidled up to her and mooched a cigarette. "Now, young lady, just what is bothering you," said Mr. Q. "You don't have to be afraid. I am your friend. There, there, don't cry. Everything will be all right." This reassurance of better things to come had no visible effect upon the young lady, vho looked very familiar to Mr. Q., except to make her cry all the harder. It was a pitiful sight to see this pretty young woman, draped over the typewriter, shaking and sobbing, with her tears plopping on the keys, springing them up against the paper. Mr. Q. (who has had strange experiences with typewriters that had minds of their own) was not very much amazed to see the tear-driven keys spell out a series of words: Young Gulliver, that stinker . The sight of the name started a train of recol- lections and Mr. Q. immediately knew the young lady to be June Harris, who pens those keen rhymes. So it finally turned out that the reason she was so sad was that no one had seen her latest bit of verse which appeared last week in Y.G.'s column for the simple reason that no one reads his column which is perfectly under- standable because he is such a stinker. Any- how, she had another sample of her caustic dog- gerel on the fire, so Mr. Q. offered her the pro- tection and reader-guaranteed security of this space. Incidentally, when here last year, Louis Untermeyer said he thought June one of the cleverest people at this sort of stuff that he had seen in a long while. LETTER TO THE TIMES Fox Hunting Restricted LONDON-0P)-The British government advised the house of commons today that sportsmen might be asked to make sacri- fices to aid wartime economy. Agriculture Minister Dorman-Smith said the government was considering whether to restrict fox hunting. I take my pen in hand, dear sirs To state a noble case, This outrade to our honor's An abominable disgrace! I realize these are dire times, That sacrifice is fine, I know all this but, damn it, sire We have to draw the line. This is an institution, sir That's not so lightly waived, For the good of the land, I take my stand, The fox hunt must be saved. The British aristocracy Has earned consideration This dastard, MIr. Dorman-Smith Will undermine the nation! Morale is lost, our spirits low Our faith is gone, in short England won't be England Without this fine old sport. Think of the force of tradition, sire, The cries of tally ho And join with me In a noble plea, The fox hunt must pot go! -June Harris * * * VOU'D Never Think It Dep't: A few days ago, one of our milder and most sedate English professors, a soft-spoken, calm old ' gent, was lecturing his class on early English literature, mentioning John Lyly and his Eu- phues. Trying to explain what a - euphuism was, said the professor: "It's a nice way to say something stinks."

How true, how true. Cash Or Credit? Failure to include a genuine cash-and-carry provision in the neutrality revision bill has provided the administration's opponents with a new weapon of assault, which is certain to b¢# wielded lustily in the debate beginning today.' As the measure now stands, it permits the sale of goods to the belligerents on commercial credits and short-term obligations, thus allow- ing up to 90 days between shipment of the goods and payment. Administration leaders contend this means cash sales, but the general public had expected a rigid provision in accordance with the "cash on the barrel-head" slogan of revision spokesmen. In response to protests over the 90-day pro- vision, the draft of the bill has been amended to provide that debtors who fail to pay at the end of that time may receive no further credit. They are not debarred from buying goods for cash thereafter, however. This is an improve- ment on the original measure, but it still leaves a loophole; a cutomer could buy a large ship- ment, or several shipments, on 90-day terms; refuse to pay for the goods and make future purchases for cash. This would create the very situation of debts abroad, of a financial stake in the victory of one side. that the cash nrnvi- dio 's -Code Ethics . .. ~MONDAY, Oct. 1, 1939, marked an historic day in the story of radio. Little-noticed but far-reaching in its possible effects was the official adoption of a code of ethics by the National Association of Broad- casters. Not to be confused with the -earlier unofficial but very strongly enforced code of morals, the code of ethics serves as a very necessary supplement to its predecessor in the radio field. It seems that radio has finally awakened to the irreparable damage which can be inflicted upon it by stupid or thoughtless actions of its executives, and has observed the beneficent results of similar procedures adopted by the movie industry and the stock market. Self-imposed, the code has been described as having the following purpose: "to serve as a yardstick of good taste and decent regard for social sensibilities." (New York ,Times, Oct. 1, 1939). Neville Miller, president of the NAB, said the code requires that radio stations shall provide free time for the discussion of contro- versial public issues in such a way that con- flicting viewpoints in public matters have a fair and equal opportunity to be heard. What is going to be the result of this self- discipline? iThe mere adoption of 'a code 'of Goodbye, New Deal "But, Mr. President," demurred Representative Lee Geyer of Cali- fornia, "I don't think this matter can wait that long. I agree with you that the embargo should be repealed with all possible haste. But profi- teering is a mighty serious problem, and a lot of harm can be done to American consumers between now and January.", "That may be true," replied Roose-t velt, "but let's get the biggest prob- lem out of the way first. You must remember you can always make an excess profits tax retroactive. We simply cannot afford any delay on this neutrality issue." When he finished talking a silenceI fell on the group for a few momen and then, sighing deeply, Roosevelt added: "This war in Europe is certainly throwing a monkey-wrench into our New Deal. I shudder to think what may happen to our reforms as a re- sult of measures we may be forced to take to protect ourselves in this1 tragic world turmoil. What especial- ly worries me is that labor may suffer1 if it ever becomes necessary to de- emphasize the functions of the Labor Board and Wage-Hour Administra- tion." His Name Led The Rest When Harold Ickes was Public Works Administrator, his WPA pro- jects bore an inexpensive copper plaque which read: Federal Energency Administration of Public Works Franklin D. Roosevelt President Harold L. Ickes Administrator But when John Carmody, the new Federal Works Administrator, took over PWA, he immediately changed the bronze plaques even on the build- ings which Ickes had built but which lacked a few weeks or days of being actually completed. The new plaques place Carmody's name first. After his name comes the name of Franklin A meeting of all house presidents will be held tonight at 6:15 at the Lambda Chi Alpha house, 1601 Wash- tenaw.
