IDE-NAZIFYING YOUTH:
German Asks Long Term Occupation
By PAUL HARSHA
Charging that the German peo-
ple are still "infected with egoism,"
a German civilian has asked that
American occupation troops re-
mAin for at least a generation.
Hermann H. Rocke, former Ber-
lin school teacher, believes that
"the young German generation
with master-race experiences from
the battlefields of Europe will
never be able to learn democracy"
without help from American sol-
diers.
Educational Help
In a letter to Edward Hascall,
Armenia To Be
Subject of Talks
Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the
history department and Prof. M.
Thomson of the sociology depart-
ment of Michigan State Normal
College will lecture on "The Ar-
menian Question" at 8 p.m. today
in the Rackham Lecture Hall.
Hold Those Bonds!
Jr., literary college junior, Rocke
said that with educational help
from America, "the new German
youth, tutored by American GI's,
will surely be able to become the
successors of today's elderly white-
haired democratic spokesmen of
Germany."
He fears that older Germans
who are friendly toward .democ-
racy will not live long enough to
extinguish the master-race philos-
ophy in the German mind.'
German youth, he said, were
'rought up either to shout or to
>bey commands, and "the Ger-
man master-race youth still like
to shout commands today."
Cozy Job
Rocke charged that most of the
German :civil-service officers "are
glad to have a cozy job and an op-
portunity to shout commands to
people who are still used to obey-
ing."
"You will seldom find a man in
a civil service office who thinks
his job is to help and advise the
people coming to him," he de-
clared.
"Is there much, if any, hope for
a development and deployment of
democratic ideas among people so
utterly infected with egoism that
they expect help and assistance
only from their lenient victors, in-
stead of first doing their utmost to
help their fellow citizens?" he asks.
Behind Curtains
Rocke said that as a military
government administrator he has
had "ample opportunity to look
behind the curtains of the stage
where a new democratic Germany
is supposed to originate from the
rotten remains of a broken mast-
ter-race."
But he finds "only one ray of
sunlight in the dark jungle of
German political life."
That is the results of elections
in the Russian zone of occupation,
especially Berlin, which he says
"shows a clear distancing from the
totalitarian, one-party system of
Communism."
"This trend is even stronger in
the three other zones of occupa-
tion where the Social Democrats,
Liberals and Christian Liberals
have gained an overwhelming
majority," he asserts.

lo Be Given
Three one-act plays will be pre-

Mendelssohn Theatre.
The three plays which have
been chosen for this performance
are "Riders to the Sea" by J. N.
Synge, "Overtones," by Alice
Gerstenberg and "Xingu" by
Thomas Seller.
"Riders to the Sea" is an Irish
story dealing with the tragedy of
a mother who loses her two sons
to the sea. The author has set his
play in the Aran Islands but has
transformed a merely local catas-
trophe into an event universal in
meaning.
"Overtones" is a comedy telling
what goes on in the minds of two
society women; their consciences
stand behind their chairs and tell
the women's true thoughts while
their verbal utterances are any-
thing but the truth.
"Xingo" is the story of a Thurs-
day Afternoon Women's Club pre-
paring to entertain a famous au-
thor.
Students in the advanced
courses in dramatics are staging
and directing the three plays. Ad-
mission is free but tickets must be
obtained forthe production. The
box office will be open from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 7:30 to
8:30 p.m. Thursday.
Sciences Rise
In Popularity
(Continued from Page 1)
1937 seniors concentrated in so-
ciology, while only 5.8 per cent are
now concentrationg in this sub-
ject. It must be emphasized that
the figures may be inaccurate to
an uncertain degree because of tne
large number of students who
have not filed their concentration
blanks.
Largest increase in particular,
subjects based on these figures
was found in zoology, with 5.2 per
cent more 'students concentrating
in this subject this year than in
1937. Psychology was a close sec-
ond, with a 5 per cent increase
noted.
Other subjects which were
found to have increased in popu-
larity were chemistry, with a 4
per cent increase, political science,
with a 3.3 per cent increase, Span-
ish, with a 3.1 per cent increase
and geology and speech, each with
a two per cent increase.
Only physics and mathematics
were found to have neither de-
creased nor increased in popular-
ity as a subject for concentration.
