Football Tickets
T HE Student Legislature's redistribution of
upperclass football tickets last fall raised
a howl of protest from students who felt that
the blame should be placed on the method
of distribution instead of errant underclass-
men. The Legislature, however, continued
with its investigations and trials, answering.
that "the student body will be in a stronger
bargaining position when its own house is
in order."
Now with the redistribution completed
and penalties imposed, the Legislature has
announced the second part of its plan to
prevent another football ticket mix-up.
Many of the provisions are designed to plug
up distribution loop-holes which became ob-
vious during the ticket trials: for instance,
the number of semesters completed at the
University would be stamped on registration
coupons by the registrar, eliminating much
of the chance for intentional fraud. Clari-
fication of rulings, such as the one setting
the number of semesters completed at the.
University as the basis for seat assignments
instead of class standing, would prevent up-
perclass transfer students from justifying
a change in semesters to correspond with
their class rank.
The Legislature expects little opposition

NIGHT EDITOR,: JOHN CAMPBELL
from the Board-in Control of Intercolleg-
iate Athletics to these phases of its plan.
Its request for a split student section be-
ginning at the 50 yard line and continuing
south on the east side and north on the
west, is, however, likely to provoke heated
discussion when placed before the Board,
alumni and faculty representatives and
members of the M Club Tuesday.
Athletic Director H. 0. Crisler has told
the Legislature that, he is "convinced that
some improvements can be made." That
this improvement will extend to granting
students seats on the 50 yard line, however,
seems unlikely in view of the Board's recent
statement that "football income must be
maintained." And when a Legislator asked
Crisler if there were a chance for students
to receive preference over alumni and facul-
ty, his answer was, "I doubt it."
A compromise, with the split student sec-
tion beginning at the 40 instead of the 50
yard line, may possibly be effected. The
Legislature, however, is taking no chances.
Seats in the end zone, as Andrew Baker,
ticket manager, pointed out last fall, may
be considered by those "in the know" as
the best seats, but only those high up in
the stadium fall in this category.
The Legislature has therefore asked that
no students be assigned seats in the first
30 rows of the end zone. It is hardly pos-
sible that "long standing policy" assigns
preference to alumni and faculty in this sec-
tion. At the least, the Legislature would
have a legitimate gripe here if its requests
were not met.

ON WORLD AFFAIRS:
Chapter and Verse
By EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER
IN MY LAST COLUMN reviewing Howard
Ambruster's revelation of the German I.
G. Farben conspiracy, I said, "Some claim
that American businessmen are already
seeking to renew their ties, if not with I. G.
Farben" (which has made suckers out of
them for the last forty years) "with harly
less deeply compromised German indus-
tries."
A friend challenges me to "name names
and say what I mean-or shut up." Very
well. What should honest Americans think
of the following charges made against Amer-
ican Military Government by a writer with
full knowledge of post-world war II Ger-
many?
"General Draper" (head of the Eco-
nomics Division of Military Government)
"has not in any way relinquished his
campaign to establish that the four things
that most impede the economic recovery
of Germany" (and its ability to attack
its neighbors) "are 1) denazification, 2)
decartbllization, 3) the Trading With the
Enemy Act and 4) the policy on German
trademarks and patents that was approved
by President Truman.
"For a background of how this works:
"Mr. Averill Harriman became Secretary
of Commerce. He promptly called Philip D.
Reed, Chairman of the Board of General
Electric" (a company that was formeej
deeply interested in Germany) "and asked
him to fly to Berlin and report what the
Commerce Department could do to aid in
the economic recovery of Germany." (Before
safeguards have.been really established.)
"Mr. Reed arrived in Berlin, settled un-
der 'the wing of General Draper and pro-
ceeded to be told that Mr. Harriman's great-
est contribution, in addition to furthering
the RFC-USCC loans" (far bigger loans
than many allied countries can get from
us!) "would be to work for the modification
or appeal of the above mentioned four fact-
ors...
"Economics Division resistance" (General
Draper) "and informal siding with the Brit-
ish in four-power negotiations have suc-
cessfully stalled decartellizaiton, both in the
U. S. Zone and Germany-wide, for eighteen
months . .."
"Now that we are about to announce a
few half hearted nieasures I have no
doubt that the campaign to make us the
scapegoat will gain new vigor. The same
tactics wesre employed on Herbert Hoover
but he threw the Draper contingent for
a temporary set-back by announcing that
the thought a Sherman "(anti-trust)"
Act for Germany was a good thing . . ,
"To go back to Mr. Harriman, it seems
that the matter of the recovery of the
Giesche properties" (mines in Upper Silesia)
"for the Harriman-Anaconda interests has
again become a: matter' of paramount U. S.
interest, more important than any of the
controls on Germany and more important
than the maintenance of clear-cut rela-
tions with the other occupying powers . . .
'For the. past two years, during which
comprehensive plans for the economic
trea-tment of Germany have been in form-
ation, the Economics Division of Military
Government has been dropping the ball
... The responsible heads of the Division
have been spending time working out com-
plex problems with and for particular
firms such as I. T. & T., Standard Oil,
High School Bands
TODAY the crack high school band musi-
cians of the state pour into Ann Arbor
Singer Sewing Machine, Chicago Pneu-
matic Tool, General Electric and so on
down the dreary list . . . And so instead
of a plan under which necessary produc-
tion shall take place and unnecessary pro-
duction shall not take place, we have a
growing hodgepodge of Singer plants re-
vived because they used to belong to Sing-
er (!) and I. T. & T. plants revived be-
cause that are I. T. & T ...
"This type of pursuit of particular in-
terests of U. S. firms in Germany is pre-
cisely what we deny that we are doing and
wha tour critics claim that we are doing,
viz, pursuing particular 'capitalistic' inter-
ests irrespective of the result of this pur-
suit upon the overall solution of the German
problem . . .What a Russian observer will
think of Dr. Schulte's efforts to regain the
Giesche properties with top cabinet support
from the U. S. side, on behalf of Harriman-
Anaconda, can also be surmized."
There you have the charge-one of many
-in so many words. Surely it is up to
Secretary Harriman, General Draper and
the other Americans involved, to reassure
the American people-not with blanket de-
nials and generalizations but chapter and
verse.

THIS IS THE SORT OF PICTURE that
makes you appreciate the finer things
in life. You come out of the theater with
a feeling of thanksgiving that you have es-
caped. If you're lucky, you come out with
a feeling of rest, gained from the sleep in-
duced by the dull and rather trite antics of
Miss Young, Mr. Niven, and a perfectly re-
volting girl child. The story is a semi-com-
cdy treatment of the pitfalls befalling a
marriage that has had fine sailing for a
decade. They should have shot the first
ten years. As is is The Perfect Marriage

MATTER OF FACT:
Arab Pressure
By STEWART ALSOPl
T IS DIFFICULT to distinguish how much
loud bluster there is in the Arab states'
opposition to the creation of a Jewish state,
and how much real feeling. There is prob-
ably a great deal of both, but with the blus-
ter predominating, for example, in Egypt
and the feeling in Iraq. It is also difficult
to judge just what the reaction in the Arab
world would actually be to partition.
One observer (British) told this reporter
that in his opinion if partition were im-
posed, providing it were not outrageously
unfair to the Palestine Arabs, there would

THE OTHER NIGHT I had the grim ex-
perience of seeing Ginger Rogers save
the United States of America.
The occasion was one of the showings of
"The Magnificent Doll," which is Univer-
sal's way of depicting the role of cheese-
cake in our nation's history.
Ginger not only bats the eyes of Aaron
Burr, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson and
other fathers of this country, but she climbs
up on a platform and tells the people not
to hate Aaron-because he'll thrive on hate
and become a dictator.
It all looks good enough (even though the
celebrated Rogers Legs are completely be-
gowned); but so far as your ears are con-
cerned, it doesn't ring true. Words like
democracy," "liberty," "freedom" and "gov-
ernment by law" just weren't designed for
utterance by Fred Astaire's former partner.
This isn't to say that Miss Rogers is not
a Hollywood great in her own right, as wit-
ness her past successes: "Kitty Foyle," "The
Gay Divorcee," "Top Hat," "Follow the
Fleet" and others. This is to say that "The
Magnificent Doll" is miscast, unrealistic and
generally typical of the film colony's offer-
ings.
About all Americans can brag about so
far as their film industry is concerned is
that it was first in time and is first in
quantity.
In contrast, there have been some fine
foreign films showing locally and in other
parts of the country of late-"Henry V,"
"Open City," "The Baker's Wife," "The Well
Digger's Daughter" and others.
"The Well Diggers Daughter" is an exam-
ple of what good acting, good dialogue,
frankness, little or no background music and
only average photography can add up to-
a really great motion picture.
Years ago the American film industry
sponsored a nationwide essay contest on the
subject, "Why Motion Pictures Are Your
Best Entertainment." Entertainment, not
edification, is the byword out in California.
Their impression is that the American public
needs Ginger Rogers to make the facts of
history palatable.
Some Hollywood producers would like to
turn out great motion pictures, but they run
into trouble with the heads of their com-
panies, who insist on good, light, unsubtle,
safe productions.
The late F. Scott Fitzgerald, in "The
Last Tycoon," wrote of one such producer,
who dreamed of making a film classic,
knowing that it would lose money (or
would make only one million- instead of
three).
With only an occasional "Gone with the
Wind," "For Whom the Bell Tolls," or "A
Walk in the Sun" forthcoming from Holly-
wood these days, the American public must
continue to suffer being underrated, filling
in the blanks with the few foreign films that
find their way here.
If Hollywood moguls should ever change
their minds, the stars themselves would
probably welcome being cast according to
their particular talents. I had the impres-
sion watching Ginger Rogers the other night
that she was itching to exchange her early
19th century gown for something more com-
fortable and tap and sing through a good
torchy ballad.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN FESTIVAL, including
THE IMMIGRANT, THE ADVENTUR-
ER, THE CURE and EASY STREET.
IF YOU CAN FORGET the slick, sophisti-
cated comedies which Hollywood turns
out today by the dozen and transport your-
self back to the good old days of the silent
two-reelers, you're likely to enjoy this pre-
sentation.
Even the loudly avowed Charlie Chaplin
devotees will have had enough of the "wist-
ful, whimsical" Charlie Chaplin, as they like
to put it, after four short films, each ex-
ploiting to the utmost Chaplin's large, be-
wildered eyes, unique mustache and inim-
itable shuffle. The cast, as well as the plot
outline, is identical in each film, with only
minor changes in either.
The music is in keeping with the spirit of
the films, which is the best we can say for
it, while the sound effects consist mainly
of toots, grunts, whistles and giggles,
Alexander Wolcott said about Charlie
Chaplin, and we quote roughly from a shaky
memory, "We have not seen his like before;
he shall not pass this way again." To which
we add a soft Amen.

"The Problem of Continuous Full-
(Continued on Page 6)
approximately 11.000 records are
handled each week. The Univer-
sity does not make the claim that
its system of filing absence reports
is a perfect one and regrets any
embarassment or inconvenience
which has been caused any veter-
an who has tried to be punctual
and exact in making his reports.
4. It should be obvious that the
University has instituted the ab-
sence report system at the insis-
tence of the Veterans Administra-
tion. In complying with the re-
quest of the Veterans Administra-
tion, the University is not only
protecting itself but is also pro-
tecting the veteran, since the Vet-
erans Administration requires a
report of "Unsatisfactory" when
a veteran fails to comply with
University regulations.
I am in receipt of the attached
letter from Robert S. Waldrop,
Director of the Veterans' Servic
Bureau, who on behalf of the Uni-
versity is immediately responsible
to the Veterans Administration for
reporting veterans' absences. In
his letter, Mr. Waldrop points out
some of the difficulties which his
office has encountered in trying
to make our absence report sys-
tem effective.
April 17, 1947
Mr. E. A. Walter, Director
Office of Student Affairs
2 University Hall
Dear Mr. Walter:
After talking with a number of
veterans, I am writing to call your
attention to the possible sources
of differences between the reports
made by the veterans and the
summary list of absence reports.
There are several places where
mistakes could have been made.
I have investigated the card sort-
ing and tabulating procedure as
well as the system of checking
used in preparing the letters.
Briefly, errors may have entered
the record at any one or several
of these points:
1. By reason of transfer from
one Public Law to another, two
C numbers have been assigned by
the Veterans Administration, Our
records show one and veteran may
be using the other.
2. Illegible writing has been the
cause of many cards being in-
correctly tabulated.
3. Some veterans have not used
their C numbers; therefore, our
records would show no report for
the number they should have used.
4. There is evidence that vet-
erans may haveg uessed incor-
rectly at their C number and
therefore their report would not
correspond to our master card.
5. Many veterans are using -
numbers which differ from th
C number under which they are
certified.
The major causes of discrept-
ancies appear to be due to the
failure of the veterans to file un
der the correct C number and t
write legibly. It should be point-
ed out, however, that many veter-
ans using the incorrect C num-
bers were doing so in good faith.
Very sincerely yours,
Robert S. Waldrop,
Director Veterans'
Service Bureau
In order to correct any error
which he acknowledges in his a-
sence report, the veteran should
drop the necessary report in any
of the boxes designated for the
purpose. Only in cases where h
feels certain that he has properly
filled out the weekly blank and
filed it, should he consult the Vet-
erans' Service Bureau in answer to
the letter which bears my sig-
nature.
Very sincerely yours,
E. A . Walter
