Dormant scrap should net be construed to apply to reusable machinery, equipment, dies, jigs, fix- tures, etc., which can currently or in the future be used by the owner or others, with or without repairs, in work which contributes directly to the war production effort." It is also emphasized that the Gov- ernment's grave responsibility to sup- ply American armed forces with ships, guns, airplanes, and tanks makes it mandatory that all dormant scrap be released immediately. "If it isn't being used now, its future use is very doubtful-find a use for it, or scrap it". Telephone the Buildings and Grounds Department, Ext. 317, and an inspector will call and arrange for removal. E. C.

E. A. Walter DRAFT BILL: Has Wrong Approach To Educational Problem T HE HOUSE DRAFT BILL provides, at last, a specific policy on the Selective Service status of college students, but it is cer- tainly not an adequate solution to the education- al'problem here.. The bill would defer all students until the end of this academic year, but would grant no edu- cational deferments after July 1, 1943. It looks as though a standardized, uniform system which gives equal treatment to all students is being es- tablished, and at first, that looks like the right answer.. The trouble with this approach is that the most intelligent students-those who might best serve as researchers and specialists now or play important parts in the post-war world- would be sent into basic military service along with the less academically strong. BRIG. GEN. M. G. WHITE of the General Staff testified before the Senate Military Commit- tee that the Army was developing plans for send- Jng its brightest soldiers to college for technical training. That solves part of the problem; it will provide the specialists, chemists, engineers, needed by the Army right now. But there is no sense in forgetting that we are fighting for a new world, the establishment of which calls for men with training in political science, economics, sociology, the making of value judgments. There will be and there should be, a sharp cur- tailment in the liberal arts program, but that does not mean the closing down of those schools. This is the time for enough long range planning to at least realize that every man should be used, not so that he makes only the best contribution which he can offer to the war effort, but so that the best use of his talents is made in the overall attempt to establish the kind of world we want. The answer lies in a government program in the social sciences paralleling the Army effort in the technical schools. To make sure that deferments are not granted to those who can go to school because they have the money and denied to those less well fixed financially there should be governmental subsidies and loans to exceptional students. T HE $5,000,000 appropriated for student loans last spring was just enough to meet half of the requests of the universities, and those re- quests were supposedly based on direct needs. The money is being used for students majoring in chemistry, engineering, physics and the technical sciences and by forcing the receivers of those loans to attend school summers when they ordin- arily would be working makes it pretty hard for them to get through school. The appropriation should be increased until there is enough money to keep our best students in school. Aptitude tests, constant check-ups would make sure that the best students remained in school, that we were developing a corps of people who will be prepared for public service. TRAINING these people needn't mean neglect- ing the war effort and it doesn't mean get- ting ready to plan a victory that we won't win. It is simply a recognition of the fact that we are out to wiii more than a military victory and should plan and prepare in terms of more than a military victory. Russia and China are deferring students and making great efforts to keep their universities WAR RALLY: Lackadaisical A ttitude Of Students Changing? THE "aw-what-the-hell" attitude of the campus is starting to change. Surprising evidence was the 4,000 turn-out at Hill Auditorium Friday night to hear stocky Lieut. Liudmila Pavlichenko. And the heartening thing about it all was the cheering while Pavlichenko barked out tough Russian talk that nobody un- derstood. Just what does that prove? Well, nothing. But we'd like to think that somewhere in those strange fighting words spoken by Pavlichenko there was a common understanding. We'd like to think that when she mentioned the word Fascist, everybody understood a common enemy. We'd like to think that when she said the word Stalin- grad, the audience read into it the courage of the people, the glory of the people, the decency of the people. We hope it symbolized the ultimate dig- nity of the people, too. We don't think that any person came just to touch her greatness. We don't think anybody thought Pavlichenko was a spectacle, something you ought to see. If anyone did, surely he must have been ashamed when Pavlichenko admitted that she used to wear her hair long-once. -Bob Mantho Dominie Says MENTAL HEALTH in a sick world has many religious connotations. "Neurosis is a substitute for legitimate suf- fering," says Dr. Carl Jung in his lectures on Psychology and Religion. The question is how can a personality and its shadow live together in peace and freedom? Before a maladjusted person reaches the stage of neurosis, long before in most cases, he will have had many oppor- tunities to adjust unwelcome impulses, desires and appetites. Since he has failed to make those adjustments, there is a legitimate series of acts or sufferings which he should have taken on. Now neurosis is a substitute for those neglected disciplinings. In this we have a parable for our decade. Repressed desires on the part of whole nations have festered beneath the conscious life of the people. Desires for directness in a fast-moving complex and subtle society were systematically checked," so to speak. Impulses to friendship, impulses to honor, impulses to deal with insti- tutions as with persons, impulses to put human rights central in every consideration have been set aside in the interest of secondary qualities such as prestige, financial gain, earthly power, dominance of man over man, and gain by strategy rather than by merit. Had we moved more slowly in appropriating the fabulous wealth on the opening continents, attained reverence for the eternal forces, many of whose powers were unlocked by the scientific method, learned dis- cretion, temperance, meekness and love in the conduct of nations as well as families, this ter- rific neurosis called world revolution might have been averted. Such is the argument of the social psychologist. LEGITIMATE SUFFERING is treated many places in literature, including the Old Testa- ment. Dante in his Inferno is superb. Milton is most instructive. Shakespeare entertains his mmiom n--C m)Pth nnn m,- -rurpnri r clue WASHINGTON, M4ERRY m 60O ROUND By DREW PEARSON THERE was more behind AFL President Bill Green's Toronto statement, that the "chances were brighter" for a reunion of the AFL and CIO, than Green let on to newspapermen. Inside fact is that when the AFL convention opened, top officials of the two labor organiza- tions at first were decidedly bearish about the chances of getting together. Jurisdictional prob- lems loomed too large. Lewis Blustery But what changed their minds, and led Green to make his optimistic pronouncement, was John L. Lewis' blustery withdrawal from the CIO. When Lewis took the floor at his United Mine Workers convention in Cincinnati and told the miners that they were pulling out of the CIO, he gave AFL-CIO peace prospects the greatest shot in the arm since negotiations got under way two years ago. LEWIS' ACTION means much more than a sev- erance from the CIO. It was a blunt challenge to both the CIO and AFL that he was preparing to launch (1) an all-out, blood-and-thunder raid on their memberships; and (2) a campaign to organize and consolidate, in the catch-all Dis- trict 50 of the miners' union, all the independent unions of the country. Same Old Swashbuckler There are about 1,000,000 independent union workers, including telephone employees, typo- graphers and numerous scattered groups of white collar workers. With his flair for swashbuckling leadership, Lewis conceivably could build up an organization of 1,500,000 members, counting the independents, plus AFL and CIO captives, plus his own miners organization. At any rate, that is his current plan. And AFL- CIO leaders realize too well that his commando activities against their unions will be made all the easier if they continue on the outs. eCll~i d'./ clditor On The War Rally: To the Editor: IT WAS PROBABLY the general understanding that Friday night's mass meeting at which Lieut. Pavlichenko spoke had two purposes:-to do honor to the Russian people for their valiant fighting in our common cause, and, especially, to persuade everyone present to cooperate to the full extent of his abilities in the war effort. The rally was very well managed, but may I suggest that there were just two little sour notes which, it may be hoped, will not be repeated on future occasions? (1) It was not an occasion for advancing par- tisan views on questions of military strategy. A great many of us, without lacking in eagerness for positive, energetic military action, believe that President Roosevelt and the Allied military leaders are in a better position to know when and how the second front should be opened than Wendell Willkie is. (2) Asking the students present to repeat, parrot-like, a statement read from the platform, Students, College of Literature, Sci- ence, and the Arts: No course may be elected for credit after the end of the third week. Saturday, October 24, therefore, is the last date on which new elections may be approved. The willingness of an individual instruc- tor to admit a student later does not affect the operation of this rule. E. A. Walter Students, College of Literature, Sci- ence and the Arts: Except under very extraordinary circumstances, no re- quests for exemption from PEM will be considered by this office, or by the Office of the Academic Counselors, after.Tuesday, October 20. Assistant Dean E. A. Walter College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, Schools of Education, Fores- try, Music, and Public Health: Stu- dents who received marks of I or X at the close of their last semester or summer session of attendance will receive a grade of E in the course or courses unless this work is made up by November 5. Students wishing an extension of time beyond this date in order to make up this work should file a petition addressed to the appro- priate official in their school with Room 4 U. H. where it will be trans- mitted. Robert L. Williams, Assistant Registrar Women's Debate: There will be a meeting for all those interested in women's debate at 4 o'clock on Mon- day in 4208 Angell Hall. History Make-up Examinations will be held Friday, October 23, 4 to 6 in Room C, Haven Hall. Students must obtain written permission of the in- structor before Oct. 21, and sign in the office of the History Department, 119 Haven Hall.

Concerts Choral Union Concert: The Don Cossack Russian Chorus, Serge Jar- off, Conductor, will be heard in the first concert in the Choral Union Series in a program of religious, folk and war songs, Tuesday evening, at 8:30 o'clock, in Hill Auditorium. A limited number of season tickets, or for individual concerts, are available at the offices of the University Musi- cal Society in Burton Memorial Tow- er. On the day of the concert, if necessity requires, standing room tickets will also be placed on sale. The Hill Auditorium box office will be open after 7:00 o'clock in the eve- ning preceding the performance. Choral Union Concert-goers: To avoid confusion and congestion, the attention of concert-goers is respect- fully called to the following: Holders of season tickets are re- quested to detach, before leaving home, respective coupons and to pre- sent for admission only the coupon for each concert, instead of the en- tire season ticket. The public is requested to come sufficiently early as to be seated on time, since the doors will be closed during numbers. Parking regulations will be in effect under the direction of the Ann Arbor Police Department. Charles A. Sink, President Events Today Varsity Men's Glee Club will re- hearse today, Oct. 18, at 4:30 pm. in the Glee Club rooms, third floor, Michigan Union.

SAMUEL GRAF TON'S P[d Rather Be Right I put it to you that there is some- thing disagreeable in writing about the second front; I admit it. Yet to do so is not the worst of human activities. Last week, for example, Senator "Cotton Ed" Smith of South Carolina spent a number of minutes questioning Mr. William M. Jeffers, the rubber administra- tor, on the chances of holding up a program for using rayon in mili- tary tires until experiments could be conducted to show whether cot- ton is as good. That would mean a two to three months delay, for the sake of the cotton states, or a cotton Senator. It seems to me that Cotton Ed would have been better off, and so would we all, if he had spent those minutes talking about the second front, instead. So, you see, one can do worse than talk about the second front. There is also an over-riding con- sideration: had Cotton Ed been ex- cited about a second front he would not have wanted to hold up our production of military tires. He would have wanted a lot of tires. in a great hurry. Sometimes one's arm grows weary, with pointing out these connections, but they do ex- ist, and someone must say so. It Keeps You Out of Trouble Yes, it is true, there is some- thing disagreeable in talking about a second front; for the essential information is inside information. Yet to do so keeps one out of mis- chief, in remarkable fashion. For you cannot talk second front without talking world unity, which is a healthy sort of line to take; and you cannot talk against the second frontnwithout rocking world unity, at least a bit. One writer who is anti-talking-about-second- front came up recently with the ar- gument that the Russians do not help us enough; and one newspa- _ --_:.T_ . -. ....+; treym +1'1 N - experts by talking second front. Yet let us suppose all amateurs in the country agreed with that proposi- tion, to the extent that they never opened their mouths about the sec- ond front. We can then see our joint general staffers, Admiral Leahy, General Marshall, Admiral King and General Arnold, planning their war strategy, which they all say must be an offensive strategy, and cupping their ears, as military men do, to catch the drift of public opinion. They do not hear a sound. The public is quiet. It just sits there, as it has been told to do. Stalin- grad is knocked down to rubble, the Nazis creep nearer, the oil of Groz- ny, the war looks worse, and the American public has no opinion. It won't say a word. It is mum. Its attitude instructs the general staffs that they alone are responsible for planning what to do; they can de- cide, either way; they can then take the onus, for success or failure. It's all theirs. I submit that that would be cruel and unusual treatment of a general staff; that sometimes, in the dead of night, the general staffs, carry- ing their heavy responsibilities, must be not unglad that at least a portion of public opinion endorses the taking of risks. And so the cur- iously persistent healthiness of sec- ond-front talk is manifested once more, as contrasted with the lively dangers lurking in the opposed po- sition. Question And Answer If we are going to shelter the general staffs from the disquieting pleasure of public opinion, we should go the whole way. What must have gone on, inside the in- sides of the general staffs, for ex- ample, when Mr. Jeffers asked the Senators: "Do I understand you gentlemen to say to me that I am to continue to hold up this pro-
