Notices Notice: Attention of all concerned, and particularly of those having of- fices in Haven Hall, or the Western portion of the Natural Science Build- ing is directed to the fact that park- ing or standing of cars in the drive- way between these two buildings is prohibited because it is at all times inconvenient to other drivers and to pedestrians on the diagonal and other walks. If members of your family call for you, especially at noon when traffic both on wheels and on foot is heavy, it is especially urged that the car wait for you in the parking space' adjacent to the north door of Uni- versity Hall. Waiting in the driveway blocks traffic and involves confu- sion, inconvenience and danger just as much when a person is sitting in a car as when the car is parked empty.

BLOOD BANK: You Can Save Soldiers By Registering Today A FEW POINTS you should know about this Red Cross Blood Bank: 1.. Your blood will be turned into plasma which will save lives right on the FIELD OF BAT- TLE. 2. The transfusion doesn't hurt. 3. The Union staff will register you TODAY and every day either in the Union lobby or in the war stamp booth on North University and State. 4. Only 125 persons can be taken care of Oct. 21. But all persons wishing to give blood will be taken care of when the Blood Bank re- turns later. They should, therefore, register promptly in the Union lobby or in the war stamp booth on the corner of North University and State Streets. 5. If you are under 21, obtain parental con- sent immediately. -Morton Mintz NO, KNIGHT- LQyal Oppostion Means Defeting The Enemy! T1HE LOYAL OPPOSITION-the De- troit Free Press thinks it should be the Republican Party-is a much misunderstood term. The Free Press' publisher, John S. Knight, makes it a matter of printed misunderstanding. In his Editor's Notebook Sunday, Mr. Knight wrote that Wendell Willkie, now on a tour of the United Nations, could do America a great service "by coming home aida dealing with problems that he. knows something about." Wilkie, he said, has fallen down on the job of the loyal opposition, because he is not home to pick out the faults of the Administration. The ideal loyal opposition gives up its party fights, cooperates with the Administration, offers its help and takes jobs with the government. Re- publicans like Frank Knox and Henry Stimson both cabinet members, show what can be done by men who place country above party. Mr. Knight wants Willkie to come back from his tour of the United Nations, a tour that is bringing understanding and cooperation between them, to preserve "the identity of the minority party" and to furnish such opposition to "the weaknesses of the New Deal as could be construc- tively offered." Would Mr. Knight claim that the opponents of the "starry idealists like Harry Hopkins and Archibald MacLeish" in the Republican Party -perhaps Ham Fish or Stephen Day or even Claire Hoffman-are going to be an intelligent opposition to the New Deal's mistakes? Willkie is doing a job that is useful in bringing about genuine sympathy between the United Na- tions. If he came home, his job, as Mr. Knight envisions it, would be to try to push America's greatest collection of mediocrities into a position of value. W ILLKIE has been one of this war's best "good- will" ambassadors. Let's keep him in that job! --Leon Gordenker Ai AXE to qnond By TORQUEMADA PRACTICALLY NOTHING I imagined about college has ,come true. I thought it an ideal place where strong and brilliant young men into which category I easily fitted, went around arm in arm, roaming the fields, and discussing cate- gorical imperatives. College was a delicious nut sundae, topped off with the rich whip cream of a kindly benevolent faculty, which had two con- cerns, to throw all examination papers into the handiest waste basket as soon as possible, and to sit and smoke at students until they had become enveloped in a lush haze of warm humanism. Which was rather nice. It hasn't turned out that way. Except for John Arthos. He was (past tense for people in the army) the most brilliant person I -have ever met. He was one of the nicest people I ever met-with a ter- rific sense of humor. It's hard to write a "Reader's Digest' Most Un- forgettable Person sort of thing, he was too real for that. But I think that I can remember a few things about him that show up a really great man. HIS FUNCTION, as he conceived it, was to use his intelligence-which he knew to be great with an excellent lack of false modesty-in the field where he thought it could be best applied, as. a scholar, and as a teache. Lots of time the scholarship part went over your head-or seemed to-like his book on "The Language of Poetry". But he was quite able to defend it against the forty-some odd engineers in our dorm, whose opinion he valued highly, because he believed that they were human beings like himself. Not that there was any lack of discrimination; I had a class from him (English 33), in which there were several sorority girls who were hardly human be- ings like himself-these he could make look ridic- ulous better than any person I have ever seen, and without hurting their feelings at all. AS A TEACHER, and an actual molder of lives, he did a job on me that was rather typical. When I came to college, I was a red-hot inactive Communist (he called it Marxist; he was always very careful with words). I was a Marxist because nobody appreciated me, whereas I knew an ideal society must-and also because I didn't see any reason why there couldn't be an ideal society. John Arthos smoked at me every so often at the dinner table, talked a bit with this quiet insis- tence and pretty soon I knew that you can't change human nature. But still nobody appreci- ated me, and I didn't believe in an ideal society any more, so I was very unhappy. Another few cartoons, and I learned to appreciate myself. In short, he made. the first part of maturation a relatively painless thing-I know he did the same for others. THERE WAS PRACTICALLY no corn in his nature at all; he didn't know as much about football as he. did Greek, but he liked football. As to the humor, I can just remember one gag. There was one kid in our dorm, a rather supercil- ious -self-styled culture patrician, who really had- good taste, but whom I couldn't abide. I got rath- er worried after a few arguments with this per- son, arguments in which I had been bested by his siperciliousness. I asked Mr. Arthos just how intelligent the kid was. "Oh," he said cheerfully, "it's quite amazing. He has absolutely no mind at all." Besides Arthos liked the Aarx brothers, and 'Cike WASHINGTON 1,' Req. U.SPt.O , M4ERRY mGO0aROUND By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON-Before Wendell Willkie left for Russia and China, he had an interesting conversation with Harold Moskovit, of the Affil- iated Young Democrats of New York, which sheds significant light on Willkie's ideas for 1944. Moskovit asked Willkie why he hadn't run for the New York gubernatorial nomination, as many of his friends had urged him to do, to keep Tom Dewey off the ticket. Willkie replied that he had considered the matter carefully, but found that he had only about thirty per cent of the Republican machine in New York with him, and his friends had ad- vised him not to run without machine support. Then Willkie added: "My own party is getting more and more conservative, and I'm worried over what's goil.g to happen when it comes to writing the peace. We cannot make the same mistake we made after the last war and let the isola- tionists get control. Isolationist Republican obstruction after the last war was the greatest contribution that was ever made to this war, and we can't go on fighting wars every twenty years. "But," continued Willkie, "your own party isn't much better. The conservative Demo- crats seem to be coming back into power to such an extent that there isn't much differ- ence between the Republicans and the con- servative Democrats." Willkie went on to say that he would watch the elections very carefully this November to see what the score was on the election of liberal senators and representatives. On the outcome of the November election, he said, would depend whether or not it might be a good idea to talk about an independent liberal third party. Mean- while it has become known that Willkie's old Republican friends put a lot of pressure on him just before he left to make a speech for Dewey. Persuading Willkie to support Dewey was not an easy job, because the ambitious young dis- trict attorney is the last man Willkie wanted to see nominated on the Republican ticket, either for governor of New York, or as presidential candidate in 1944. However, Willkie's friends say they got a com- mitment out of him to speak for Dewey, if he got back from China in time.
