Social Equality THE LOWER HOUSE of the New York State Legislature advanced the position of social equality last week when it passed an anti-dis- crimination law by a large majority. The Ives- Quinn bill, assured of State Senate confirmation by statements of both party leaders, sets up a ,permanent commission agamin5t discrimination in employment. A five member agency charged with eliminat- ing biased employment on grounds of race, creed, color, religion or national origin will have the power to issue orders enforceable in New York State courts. Certain unfair practices have been specifically declared unlawful by the act, and imprisonment and fine penalties for refusal to obey provisions of the bill have been set up. Coming as it does shortly after a court decision in the same state upholding the right of newspapers to refuse discriminatory advertising, it is an indication of a significant trend. Definite action advancing those demo- cratic ideals which have so long enjoyed little practical application is being taken by the states as well as the national government. The position taken by the people of the State of New York on, the Ives-Quinn bill can well serve as encouragement to Americans through- out the nation. It is from the people that the impetus nust come for true democratic prac-. tice. -Milt Freudenheim Red Cross Drive WE WOULD all do everything possible for our . relatives, friends and sweethearts in ser- vice. If someone overseas were to send us a letter of request we would not hesitate to des- patch the requested article to them. But there are certain things we cannot do for them personally, certain things which re- quire immediacy and proximity, such as entei- tainment in hours of relaxation and communi- cation in the event they are taken prisoner of war. The Red Cross attempts to do these and n.any other things for military personnel. It also serves civilians on the home front in times of catastrophe. But in order to function the Red Cross must have monetary support. It is up to us to provide this support. The campus drive, organized by the League and the Union, will begin today and will extend throughout the month. When you are approached for a contribution, give as much as you can, afford-and more. -Anita Franz e a Vot111g Pivileges ONE OF THE chief objections to extending the voting age in this country to include the 18- to-21-year-old group is the travesty of democ- racy that traditionally marks student elections on college campuses.

By BERNARD ROSENBERG ERIC RUSSELL BENTLEY'S brilliant criti- cism has reached full fruition in his first. book, "A Century of Hero Worship." This work commends itself unmistakably to -the student of Western thought. Under the author's guid- ance one can observe in it meticulous examina- tion of what he calls "heroic vitalism" as exem- plified by Carlyle, Nietzsche, Wagner, Shaw, D. H. Laurence, Spengler and Stephen George. The blurb warns-and Bentley himself repeats the injunction--that we ought not to look for any facile means of equating this philosophy and fascism. Yet, shortly after the book appeared, and it might as well have been entitled "A Study In Ambivalence" because Bentley tried to show that each of his subjects was split between demo- cratic and autocratic impulses, Sterling North- usually a percipient critic-wrote an article in The Washington Post which was a total mis- conception of that thesis. Basing his argument in part on Bentley's analysis, he drew the oppo- site conclusion from it. His reasoning goes like this: the heroic vitalists, that is, roughly, those thinkers who exalt virility and believe in the great man theory for variously psychotic reas- ons, were Romantics; Romanticism de-empha- sizes reason and so does fascism; ergo, heroic vitalism, romanticism, and fascism are all the same. This is an altogether unacceptable gener- alization. True, much was made of personal passions during the Romantic era-but they were above all directed in humanitarian and revolutionary channels. Concern with hu-- man rights came above any other to men like Hugo in France, Goethe in Germany, Burns in England, and Thoreau in America. When else could a Byron have dedicated his life to the liberation of Greece, a Shelley have come forth with his heretical pronuneciamen- toes, a Hood have written "The Song of the Shirt?" THIS was the period during which William Godwin affirmed his belief in Socialist ten- ets-which inspired such novels of purpose as "Caleb Williams" that, in turn, fired the imagi- nation of Wordswoth and Coleridge who, until the Reign of Terror, were heart-felt defenders of the French Revolution. Could an age irre- deemably infused with reactionary ideas have produced a paper on "The Pernicious Effects Which Arise From The Unnatural Distinc- tions Established In Society"-such as that written by Mary Wollstonecraft? Release from the cold impersonality of neo- classicism did involve less worship of reason and the intensification of "sensibility," But, this was not wholly to the bad. A good case has been made out more than once, notably by Jac- ques Barzum, arraigning neo-classicism on the grounds that it was too conservative. Pro- fessor Bernbaum says of this epoch that it believed "the proper study of mankind was Man-a dualistic creature, capable of virtue and reason, but addicted to vice and folly, and therefore requiring for his salvation much disci- pline. It was well that the state disciplined him by force; the Church through prohibitions; and literature through satire. "Such, we are told, were the views of men in other respects as different as Pope, Swift, Addison and Johnson- who were the most admired and influential writers of the age. But notice the intellectual dead-end to which we have been brought. The scholars tell us that Romanticism was reactionary in that it .acted as the harbinger of fascism-and classicism was reactionary in that its apostles favored sup- pression of the people. Now, literary history is nothing more than the alternation of classi- O N SECOND By g1(gy lixoai Spring came and went so fast that students hardly had a chance to get used to walking in the mud. instead of on the ice Ann Arbor is reputed to have the most beautiful spring in America-occasionally. * .* * In spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of courses he is going to take this semester. Contribute to the Red Cross-and that's no joke. V-Ball will end at midnight and band leader Hal McIntyre will kindly play a song by Coal Porter in honor of the curfew. cism and romanticism. One follows after and overlaps the other. If both systems obviate the existence of liberal thought, so would any mixture of them-which reduces it to a phan- tasy, as unreal as all phantasies and twice as pernicious. BUT liberal thought is deal. It reappears in every period-our own included. Though some irrationality may be seen in William James' views, they are basically democratic. Though Robert Huchins' orientation is classi- cal, his politics exceed the President's in pro- gressivism. Our Founding Fathers were steep- ed in classicism-no one of them more so than Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence. A host of similar examples can be cited. All of them add up to the impossibility of system- atizing thought around concepts that have never been, and cannot be, satisfactorily defined. Berzun has demonstrated-and this is one of his better contributions to the subject-that there are scores of conflicting definitions of Romanticism. Hard and fast, arbitrary compartmnentaliza- tion of these movements and equation of them with political cycles should be scrupulously avoided. That this is not done often enough comes largely from the current error in ap- proach which begins by trying to make the development of ideas as pat and exact as mathematical problems. This they will never be. Current Movies By BA1RRIE WATERS At the State . , MOST AMERICANS are fools for Westerns, regardless of the familiar pattern this type of film has fallen into. The State's current ex- hibit, "Tall In the Saddle," is a perfect example. It possesses every ingredient you have come to expect: a stolid, woman-hating hero. a band of rustlers, a knock-down-drag-out brawl, and a gun-fight or two. It is apparently what a large section of the movie-going public wants and "Tall In the Saddle" will probably prosper no matter what some lowly scribe says. Familiar a tune as it is, "Tall In the Saddle" does occasionally contrive to get away from routine, mainly by virtue of an unconventional heroine. Ella Raines, one of the very best of the new starlets who has yet to do an impor- tant role, contributes an amusing portrait of a masculine-mannered cow-girl with a base- ment voice and a disconcerting ease with the old six-shooter which is miles away from the usual demure, sun-bonneted Western heroine. The film's most diverting moments come from her direction. John Wayne outdoes Gary Cooper for sheer Western langour and seems to be the small fry's idea of what the perfect cowboy should be. Accepting it for what it is, I really found noth- ing to seriously object to, except for one agoniz- ing moment when a pre-Goldwyn cowboy leaves a poker game glibly remarking, "Include me out. At the Michigan . THE REDOUBTABLE BOB HOPE has returned to the screen under the auspices of Sam Goldwyn after a year's absence in the wilds of radio work and overseas tours. The occasion for his celluloid comeback, currently on view at The Michigan, is "The Princess and the Pirate," as wild a contrivance as you'll see in some time. The wispy plot has Hope as a ham actor, Sylvester the Great, who becomes involved in pirate doings on the Spanish Main. He rescues a captive princess from the designing clutches of a mildly disturbing character called The Hook, carried around a coveted treasure map tatooed on his chest and engages in a beer-drinking contest the like of which the P-Bell has never dreamed of. He loses the girl in an ending you can see coming a mile off, but which laid the majority of Sunday's audience in the Michigan's collec- tive aisle. In support of Hope, newcomer Virginia Mayo plays the princess competently and is as choice a piece of scenery as you could find most any- where. As Hope observes in the picture's best line, she is "well-stacked." The net result is a typical Hope-ian romp that should please his most devoted fans no end. The film's decidedly emphatic technicolor and breakneck pace may prove a little exhaust- ing to the less hearty, but on the whole it's a consistently enjoyable piece. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1945 VOL. LV, No. 88 Publication in the Daily Official Bul- letin is constructive notice to all mem- bers of the University. Notices for the Bulletin should be sent in typewritten form to the Assistant to the President, 1021 Angel Hall, by 3:30 p. in. of the day preceding publication (11:30 a. m. Sat- urdays).

Students who have received exemption cards or who are entitled to exemption priv- ileges should likewise report their new license numbers to the Dean of Students Office. The following resolution was adop- ted by the Regents at their meeting on Dec. 29, 1944, and is now in force: Resolved, That it is expressly for- bidden hereafter that any University department or official shall either directly or indirectly approach an employee of any other department with inducements or suggestions the natural result of which would be to cause such approached employee to desire transfer or to become dissatis- fied with his or her present position. In all cases where the transfer of an employee is desired, the official de- siring the transfer should first con- sult the head of the department in which the employee is currently serv- ing, or, in cases of clerical positions, the Office Personnel Committee. Nothing herein shall be held to modify the By-laws Sec. 3.06 with respect to the duties and powers of the Office Personnel Committee. Identification Cards: All Identi- fication Cards which were given out during the Summer or Fall Terms must be validated by the Dean of Students for the Spring Term. Cards which were not turned in at regis- tration in Waterman Gymnasium should be left at Rm. 2, University Hall, at once. Cards which are not validated will not be honored for the Spring Term by University officials. Eligibility Certificates: for the Spring Term may be secured imme- diately if the report of Fall grades is brought to the Office of the Dean of Students. To the Members of the University Council: The University Council Meeting for March has been can- celled. To the Members, of the University Senate: At the meeting of the Uni- versity Council held Jan. 15 the fol- lowing two recommendations of the Standing Committee on Public Rela- tions were approved: 1. That the individual members of the Faculties of the University of Michigan cooperate to the fullest I extent with the University News Ser- vice by informing the Director promp- tly of honors received, contributions published, andtdiscoveries made. 2. That greater use be made of the facilities of the Extension Service in taking to the people of the state pro- grams dealing with little-known Uni- versity activities. Two examples of such activities, which can be drama- tized readily, are the Speech Clinic and the Fresh Air Camp. -- --________-- . Rules governing participation in Public Activities: I.
