PRESIDENT RUTHVEN:
His Hopes, Objectives Are Viewed
in. Relation To The 'U' War Effort
By HOMER SWANDER
Daily Managing Editor
T MUST LOOK to President Ruthven
like the old, old story of everybody
jumping on the bandwagon while the jumping is
good. First the Regents and then in rapid-fire
succession the faculty, the students, The Daily.
And I, for one, do not like being on anybody's
bandwagon-even the Regents'.
Throughout the most critical year in the
history of America and the University of Michi-
gan I was, I believe, closer to the President
than any other newspaperman and I think I
know him pretty well. From May, 1941, until a
few weeks ago I covered the President's office.
If was able to, talk with him-many times con-
fidentially-and to follow his ideas as they
were affected by the trend of world events and
especially by Pearl Harbor.
The trouble was that they were not affected
enough.
TESIDENT RUTHVEN fought Selective Serv-
ice right from the beginning-he did not want
young men to be taken out of school and put into
uniform. He wanted those young men to get a
sound education so they could rebuild a sensible
and decent world after the- war was over.
Even after Decenber 7 he impressed me as
being more interested in the post-war world
than in the world at war. When many people
were yelling hysterically that we should forget
the problens of reconstruction until w had
won the war, President Rutlven sensibly re-
memberedf the last war and thelast peace. And
he did not want history repeated,
He worked night and day to keep students in
school as long as possible and to train them "for
life" before they went off to train for what might
mean death. He took trips to Washington, to
Chicago, he attended meeting after meeting, he
nearly ruined his health. I talked with him at
times when he was so tired and worried and sick
that he should have beer in bed.
B UT as the war became more serious, as it
became more apparent that greater and
greater sacrifices-in education as well as every-
thing else-would have to be made; Dr. Ruthven
did not seem to fully realize it. He still appeared
to worry too much about the disruptions of ordin.
ary University life and not enough about the.
bigger task of winning the war.
It naturally seemed to him he was fighting. a
losing battle because so many people, in Wash-
ington as well as here, were far more "all-out"
than he. Because of this, I believe, he lost a good
deal of hope and became to some extent disillu-
sioned with the war effort.
It was this attitude which-although he did not
realize it himself-was apparent in the speeches
that are now under fire. He sincerely thought he
was telling the students the truth, and in large
part he was.
NBut while he.told them that thiswA ws

Michigan Wolverines
AUimflt In War rt
"dirty business"-which it is-and was started
by "old men"-whieh it was-he did not tell
them the other, more important truths about
the war. He did not tell them why it was so
necessary to win, he did not tell them that
everything they do should be judged in the
light of how it will affect the war, he did not
inspire in them a faith in the cause for which
we are engaged in this "dirty business."
IT IS MORE a psychological attitude that I ob-
ject to than arfythiig else. As one faculty
man who admires the President greatly told me
yesterday, Dr. Ruthven has shown a "psychologi-
eal ineptness." And the lack of vigorous leader-
ship which has resulted from this attitude and
this ineptness has unfortunately had its effect on
the student body. It is at least partially for this
reason that Michigan students have not realized
the- seriousness of the war and have in too many
instances not been willing to make the necessary
saerifices.
His attitude has also been one which meant
going stowly. Time and time againhe has told
me that "we must be careful not to go off the
deep end." Once again, this is certainly true, but
in time of"war it is speed that is essential and Dr.
Ruthven has not realized how absolutely essen-
tial it is.
The trouble, I think, lies in a struggle within
the President himself. He has not been able to
shake himself loose from his pre-war ideas and
methods a-nd he has let the lessons of the last
war affect him too much. Basically his ideas are
the good and lasting ones and are therefore diffi-
cult to argue with. But for the duration they must
be altered- and they must be made secondary to
winning the war. President Ruthven has been
unable to do this.
And that is why I find myself criticizing a
mar--whom I respect and value as a friend-
when it seems almost unfair to do so.

Maybe you saw that headline on the front page
of yesterday's Detroit TIMES story on the Re-
gents' controversy. It went like this: FACULTY
DEFIES RUTHVEN.
All of which is okay, except for one thing. It
ain't true. ,
We'll never understand why a metropolitan
paper keeps a correspondent out here when
they- insist upon writing Ann Arbor stories in
their Detroit office.

"Mr. Juzwuz," you ask of the official source;
Id Rather
Be Right_
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
NEW YORK- When an anti-Semite runs out
of Jews, he has to create more of them. Hitler,
who started with a pledge to run 600,000 "for-
eigners," meaning Jews, out of Germany, is now
working overtime to drag 6,000,000 foreigners,
meaning Frenchmen, Norwegians, Poles and Ital-
ians, into Germany. Who will deny that these
foreign laborers, paid low wages (in the case of
the Poles, virtually no wages), are the new Jews
of the new order?
Who makes these new Jews? Why, in France,
it turns out to be our old-friends, the French anti-
Semites, the remnants of the anti-Deyfusards,
the royalist rabble, the racial theorist Doriot, the
"proud. Frenchmen" of the Action Francaise,
The New Jews
These men, led by Laval, are whipping 150,000
French workmen into Germany, where they will
become a new despised minority, thehewers of
wood and drawers of water. They will be Ger-
many's new Jews. And this denationalization of
Frenchmen is carried out by men who were al-
ways willing to make the night hideous with their
speeches about the need for keeping French
blood "pure," the French race proud.
It is almost too pat, for these same French
"nationalists:" the pure blood boys of Vichy, have
just given the rights of French citizenship to 500
of Hitler's selected Gestapo agents. So Germans
become boss Frenchmen, to rule France, while
Frenchmen become the new Jews of Germany, to
serve Hitler. This. is perhaps the clearest con-
fession of bankruptcy,which the racial approach
to politics has yet made.
No Tears For The French
Who whips these Frenchmen into line, to be-
come the unprivileged caste of the new Germany?
Why, it is little Jacques Doriot, who once so hated
all things "foreign" that he led his hoodlums to
drive "foreignism" out of France; now he leads
them to drive Frenchmen out of France.
The hand of this specimen is joined to the
white, well-gloved fingers of Marshal Henry Phil-
ippe Petain, representative of all that was anti-
English, anti-Semitic, anti-modern on the old
French general staff; Marshal Petain, the only
man in the world who is able to shed tears on
behalf of fascism, and yet has none to spare for
Frenchmen driven to serve the fascists.
One writer, Hannah Arendt, has recently
shown the connection between the present Vichy
clique and the conspirators against Dreyfus of a
generation ago. We never thought they would do
it to Frenchmen.
Out In The Open
But they do. In doing so the Vichyites have
created another condition for their own downfall.
They have been fighting an undeclared civil war
in France for forty years. Anti-Semitism is al-
ways a handy tactic for keeping the nature of
civil wars conveniently obscure, until they can be
obscurely won. But in making Frenchmen into
Hitler's new Jews, the Vichyites have had to drag
their civil war into the open, so that even the
mob which might once have been befuzzled into
following them can understand at last.
History will always do that, if you give her
enough time. She enjoys making issues clear

* The Don Cossacks
THE CHORAL UNION Concert Se-
ries opened last evening with a
return of the Don Cossack Chorus.
This world celebrated group never
failed for a moment to provide the
expected full evening of fine chorus
entertainment. Their full - bodied
voices responding to the able direc-
torship of Mr. Jaroff gave a capacity
audience in Hill Auditoriui a dis-
play of magnificent chorus achieve-
menit. The beautiful grasp of dy-
namics, the superb ensemble, the
dramatic intonation, the faultless
blending of their warm voices, are
what characterizes this outstanding
musical aggregation. We will not for-
get their exciting crescendi, nor the
breathtaking organlike breadth of
their pianissimo passages. The clean-
ness of their attack, and the deft
handling of complex rhythms dis-
plays the master musicianship of Mr.
Jaroff.
THE PROGRAM was begun with a
sacred group that was sung with
rare feeling. The firsV selection, "The
Funeral Service," arranged by Shve-
doff, was a ready indication of the
dramatic possibilities that were in
store for us. The following group was
supplemented with native effects that
heightened the warmth of these tra-
ditional airs. The vocally produced
rhythmic suggestion of the galloping
of horses in "The Plain, The Steppe"
by Knipped provided and atmosphere
that was an artistic background to
tthe song.
IN THE FINAL GROUP the chorus
displayed the fullness of their ton-
al beauty. -The beautiful accompani-
ment to the solo voice in the "Song
of Stenka Razin" was an example of'
their fine dynamic control. This re-.
viewer cannot but give individual rec-
ognition to the excellent solo work
in this selection.
NOTICEABLE was the appreciation
by the audience in feeling the
deligh'tful ribaldry of the song, "In
Praise of Raspberries" and in the en-
cores. Too, I feel -obliged to remark
of the homely beauty of the tradi-
tional dances. Nothing other than
the highest kind of praise can be
offered for such a musical experience
as was felt last night.
The so-called Workmen's Compen-
sation law is for the mutual protec-
tion of employer and employee. In
order to enjoy the privileges pro-
vided by the law all industrial -acci-
dents must be reported promptly to
the correct authorities. These re-
ports entitle each employee to com-
pensation for loss of time and free
medical care as outlined in the law.
The Compensation Law covers any
industrial accident occurring while
an employee is engaged in the activi-
ties of his employment which results
in either a permanent or temporary
disability, or which might conceiv-
ably develop into a permanent or
temporary disability.
Further Informirtion. If at any
time an employee wishes further in-
formation regarding any compensa-
tion case, he is urged to consult eith-
er the Business Office or the Office
of the Chief Resident Physician at
the Hospital, or the Business Office
of the University on the Campus.
