QURAISHI FUTILE FLIGHT LEXANDER Magyar and George Endres have added their names to the long and increasing list of long-distance flyers by successfully navigating the space between New York and Budapest, but;:the motiv- ation for their project has been lost in the shuffle and their feat is al- most pathetically futile in view of the results they actually obtained. What they hoped to do was call attention to what they believed was' injustice to Hungary when, eleven years ago, she lost Transylvania Croatia and Slavonia, with a re- sultant drop of 68 per cent in ter- ritory and 59 .per cent in popula- tion. The flyers named their plane "Justice for Hungary" and so in- directly called the attention of the world to their cause, but because the crusaders chose the wrong psy chological moment for their fligh the world has apparently remaine indifferent to the reasons for it. Like a succession of gags in a musical show which, if presented t a naudience in rapid succession los potency, so the dangerous flight o Magyar and Endres causes scarcel a ripple in the minds of a news reading public whose taste fo trans-Atlantic flights has bee cloyed by aviation's recent succes ses. The Hungarian flyers .complete their plans from a mechanica standpoint .but the sympathy the expected is sadly lacking. It is re grettable they did not realize tha Hungarian troubles of another dec ade cannot attract world-wide sym pathy even by spectacular trans Atlantic flights these days. Ther is too much else going on. COMPARA TIVE HEAT ANOTHER heat wave is grippi the nation and all the trials an tribulations of the recent ten-da spell have returned to us. We re call some of the medical advice tha the last torrid wave called forth perhaps it might be a good idea t review some of the major rules fc keeping cool. Don't eat too muc is the first one. Try to get along o salads, ice cream, iced tea, and minimum of foods that conta numerous calories. That's eas enough. Rule number two is: We a minimum of clothing. That easier still. Don't talk about th heat, is the third. Most person find this the most difficult of al with the possible exception of ruJ number four: Don't worry. It awfully easy to sit down and groa about the heat but the benefici effects produced by a determine effort to avoid the subject are tan gible enough to those who belie in the power of mental suggestio Disregarding set rules for h weather behavior, however, there this point to consider. Most of u work at the sort of jobs that kee us indoors or at least provide som opportunity for running off to th "old swimming hole" for a revita. izing submersion, and we have b to look around us in order to reali that we have no business moani and complaining about unavoidab weather conditions. Consider th cop, for instance, pounding his be ol sizzling pavements and weari a uniform in which most of u wiuld suffocate; consider the wor nen laboring outside on the vario b u i d i n g s under constructio around town; and take a look at a the others who are forced to main tain strenuous physical activity n matter what. Hot? Of course it's hot; but b fore you give up, just look around and see how hot it might be if you had the other felow's job. What Others Say WHY FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES? (The Daily Ilini) Fraternities and sororities are again the recipients of a vigorous- ly critical but eloquently voluble denunciation. Prof. Jerome Davis of Yale university, who asserted that these institutions do nothing but train their members to act properly in social gatherings and tend to discourage student think- ing. Asking, "What have the fraterni- ties and sororities in this country done to help deplorable social con- ditions?" the Yale professor an- swered in the same breath, "Almost nothing." His reccommendation is that all organized houses of this nature be disbanded on the cam- pus (referring to the University of Wisconsin). We take issue with Prof Davis on nearly every concept set forth in his talk recommending the disbandment of the fraternity and sorority groups on the Wiscon- sin campus. And we presume that his statements concerning the Wis- consin houses would also be suffi- ciently broad in scope to include the general organization of fra- ternities and sororities throughout the United States as inferred in the pointed challenge set forth by Prof. Davis as to their worth. It has long been an issue among the educators and authorities throughout the nation as to just what benefits were derived from the relationships and contacts made through the fraternity and sorority system in this country. 1However, if it be true, as Prof Davis ' intimates, that they do "train their members to act properly in cosial gatherings," we feel that they have earned a right to exist. _ Although we have no official fig- ures to show the profits gained by e men and women in the organized e houses of the country, the idea is - current that while living in a fra- ternity or sorority, men and womer d acquire that idenfinable "some- thing" that aids in their associa- tions while in school as well a a those in later life. Also, it is in- f disputable that men and women ac- quire close friendships, and gai more of a sense of responsibility ( to others while living in close con- r 'tact with one another during th n four years of their undergraduat life. The point that should be ques d tion is whether the organization l do train their members to act prop Y erly in organized society. Do the: - really learn the finer points of de 't portment and etiquette while liv - ing in the average fraternity an - sorority here on this campus? Judg - ing by the manner in which th e fraternity men and sorority wome: conduct themselves at some of th prominent social functions on th campus an dat their own house often leads one to doubt. g While we certinly would not pos d as an authority on social conduc y and culture, a visit to the ordinar - or average house on the campu t leads one to believe that its mem I; rbers might exercise a much greate o degree of courtesy toward the r guests as well as among their ow h, members. n Just how Prof. Davis' statemer a ,that fraternities and sororities dis" n :courage student thinking is to b+ y defined is questionable. It is im" r possible to gauge the mind of tli 's fraternity man and the non-fra" ternity man for a comparison. Hov 1 ever, if scholastic average might t l, taken as even a remote means c le judging the intellect or the amour 's of thought that either of the two n groups might do, we might poir a out that on this campus at leas d Ithere is but slight difference in tli - averages of the two groups. W+ re offer this not as an accurate gaug+ n" of the thinking done by the stt at dent but as one of the only mear IS +of setting up a concept of the situa u tion. p ~---. 1' 'I REASONS To the Editor: As a former Daily staff member,. I had been hoping that you would reply editorially to a campus opin- ion, signed "A Journalism Student," in which the writer wondered why >there was not greater cooperation between the journalism department. :and The Daily. He also stated that The Daily would provide a "most desirable training ground for jour- nalism students." Might I point out a few reasons why The Daily would not be able to afford this opportunity to students taking journalism courses? In the first place, members of The Daily do not work on the staff with the expectation of staying one semes- ter perhaps and then turning to economics, French, or some other field. Those who drop out do so after one or two weeks, and the re- mainder stay with the staff until they receive promotion to salaried positions, sometimes for four years. In the second place, those stu- dents who work on The Daily re- ceive adequate training before they 'are given responsible positions. The job of reporter requires a semes- ter's work as tryout, and the night editors work an additional year as reporters before they - are given these positions. In the third place, the writer of the previous letter compared the training the students might receive with the internship required of medical students. This would place The Daily in the laboratory classification, a paper exclusively for experimental work of students who had no practical experience. And it seems to me that The Daily, - as a regular daily newspaper, could not afford to permit comparative - novices to hold 'such responsible - positions. Furthermore the jour- l nalism department has its own lab- - oratory paper, The Michigan Jour- e nalist, which answers its own pur- l pose sufficiently. e Therefore, it appears to me that e the journalism department and The s Daily can work best as they are at present. For those students who e desire the practical work, or who t cannot ' show sufficiently good y grades to meet with the eligibility s requirements, the journalism de- - partment is on hand. r A Three-Year Daily Man. orchestra has to advertise cigar- ettes in order to sell music, and a broadcasting company has to sell an orchestra hour to a cigarette company in order that a radio company can sell radio sets to cig- arette-smokers, why where are we anyway? Suddenly in the midst of the megrims we sat down and composed a form letter which we plan to send to the p esidents of all cigarette companies that sell or- chestras, all automobile companies that build skyscrapers, and all tele- graph companies that sponsor music shows. A simple letter it was: "Please outline, in 150 words, just what you are trying to do. Ba- by has the megrims." --o Campus Opinion Contributors are asked to be brief, confining themselves to less than 300 words if possible. Anonymous corn- munications will be disregarded.

You write better because Waterman's pen points are smoother, more flexible, longer lasting.

Disregarding the advice of his en- gineers, he ordered the tree trans- planted to the top of yonder hill- at the cost of $125,000. What con- struction or achievement of real social significance might have been made with this same expenditure! The defense of spending set forth in Thursday's Daily is based on a dangerous half-truth. Socially wasteful and at best a temporary palliative, lavish spending can scarcely be justified as program to avoid or remedy depression. Serious consideration of our eco- nomic system is in order. There can be no doubt that capitalism, unbridled individual anarchy, has failed-failed to give most people what they might reasonably expect. Why then do we so naively accept it? Whatever we may think about Soviet Russia, she has demonstrated two things: (1) that our old and precarious economic system is not a necessity: it can be replaced by a planned system in which (2) per- iods of unemployment and depres- mand much more than this, of sion can be eliminated. We de-' course, and more than Russia seems to demand. But let's get on the right track. Charles A. Orr B0 I f' I I I fits your hand. The patented spoon-feed delivers the ink at exactly the proper rate-no skimping or blotting. Size for size, Waterman's hold more ink-won't run dry in a lecture or exam. There's a Waterman's for every taste and every purse. For the last word in colorful beauty, as well as writing efficiency, ask to see Waterman's Patrician, or Lady Patricia. The Patri- cian's five jewel colors, its great ink capacity, its extra large gold pen point, and its aristocratic lines, make it the natural choice for the man who wants the best. Ten dollars. A pencil to match, five dollars. The Lady Patricia is the pen women have wanted for years. A smart feminine clasp locates it securely in belt, pocket or handbag. Choice of three smart colors. Slender and graceful, yet it holds plenty of ink. Five dollars-and three for the matching pencil. Every Waterman's is guaranteed forever against defects. ,, Le e, ,- ut ze ig le e It Lg us k- us n 1- e- ME GRIMS (The New Yorker) In the hot-weather megrims, one ,teasponful of complexity will finish off the strongest of us.
