THE MICHIGAN DAILY Official Publication of the Summer Session AboVe The Level EDITOR'S NOTE: It is the ambition of every newspaperman to write a column. Two other members of the staff were begging to write "On The Level' and in this and another column are their brain children. By JOE POOKIE SPARKY McGEE, Sigma Rho sport who has been fighting to remain in school this sum- mer, perplexed temporarily his up-an-at-'em fra- ternity brothers a couple of nights ago. Arriving home after his eighth blind date in the last 10 days, Sparky baited the Greeks with, "Well, I had my first blind date tonight." "Why, what do you mean?" asked rollicking Ned Hippy, whose father gave him a new red Phaeton at the beginning of Summer Session. "She was blind," Sparky said.

T HE 44TH SUMMER SESSION, the fourth under the direction of Prof. Louis A. Hopkins, is concluded. As we stated the first week, the opportunities for Summer Session students to gain a better intellectual, cultural and social background were tremendous, and no doubt many have taken advantage of them. Indeed, Dr. Hopkins is to be congratulated on the program which he ar- ranged for the summer. He and his entire staff did a fine job. The University is far different in summer than in winter. The makeup of the student is far different, and we have the unusual situa- tion of educators coming to school to get a better rounded education. This difference is student body calls for a varied program and one which will give a broader conception of life than students can perhaps gain during the win- ter. Dr. Hopkins has grasped the need of this difference in program and has thereby proved his ability to direct the session. Let us briefly relate some of the special features of the past session. The Far Eastern Institute, the Electronics Institute, the Linguistic Institute, and the Physics Symposium are merely a few of the more outstanding features. However, the social program of the League directed by Hope Hartwig and Miss Ethel McCormick was another great feature. Lastly, the series of 5 o'clock lectures lived up to its splendid reputa- tion of past years. Thus the Summer Session is Over. We hope it has been both happy and profitable. To some we say goodbye, to others "au revoir." Is This A Solution?..** S TRONG LEADERS of men have arisen in many nations from the wreckage of the World War and without heed of precedent or consequence have made laws as their fancy dictated. There is no way of telling at the present time whether this is a temporary phase of development and if so, what the ulti- mate pattern of political doctrine and social organization will be in the nations of the world. It is obvious, however, that if we have been able to progress from the loose miscellany of the hunting group, through patriarchal society, mili- tary leagues, states, and feudalism in many parts of the world to national union, we can go still further and eventually achieve a federation of all nations, regardless of how they are governed individually. Valuable as is the spiritual contribution of the League of Nations toward this international co- operation, it is clear that mankind is likely to be destroyed before its hopes for world peace are realized. An attempt might be made to bring about an economic and political union with the power to support its decisions by action, if neces- sary. A union of nations to be effective must have an international army for police power to maintain its authority. The British Common- wealth of Nations seldom uses its military force, but it recognizes that without this latent power its prestige and effectiveness would be destroyed. Physical force, rightly directed, has been es- sential in the achievement of many ends uni- versally admitted to be desirable. The buying and selling of human beings as commodities has been stamped out by all civilized nations during the past hundred years, but not by moralizing and wishful thinking. In most nations the gov- ernment found it necessary to resort to force in order to free the slaves from their owners. Can it be that the freedom of the race of mankind f m n- m1-mmIYof tWi ll hnn +hrum mnyn * * * * J IM AND JAKE AND I. All on top of The Hill, growing maudlin over what we saw beneath us ... the Baird Carillon Tower . . . the flickering lights of Ann Arbor streets . . . And then the dawn . . . I thought what college meant to me in those serene hours before the break of day .. . and so did Jim and Jake ... football games and beer and my ten o'clock in the Parrot and late returns on the milk train from Detroit . . .and then that little brown-haired beauty I met as a sophomore and still love. * * * * THE GREASY SPOON is somehow different at 3 a.m. Inebriated clowns wander in and out,f and Blotto Louie, the waiter, rehashes the Tiger game with everybody that shows an interest. I always get a thrill out of the fact that both the New York Times presses and The Daily presses are rolling out paper after paper at this time. And probably N.Y. Times reporters are in Greasy Spoons in N.Y., too, just as I and Jim and Jake are in the Ann Arbor Greasy Spoon. Here I am up in the clouds. Really, though, I'm down on earth. That's college life for you. PASSING THOUGHT: I wonder who the cer- tain somebody is that got his jaw broke the other night when girl friend kicked him in the face. Probably Ginnie Kookie, Grosse Point socialite, could tell you. How about it, Ginnie? On The Levkel By WRAG WHEN EXAMS are done, the readers of The Daily will have something else to be happy about besides the fact that this is the last time this column will clutter up the editorial page. People have been saying, "If all good things come to an end-ivhat will become of ON THE LEVEL? Will it go on forever?" We scoff and go blithely on ignoring all adverse comments, and disre- garding the satires above and below. THE AGE of chivalry has changed into an era of Fordisms. We noticed a lovely Judy walk- ing by Swift's Drug Store the other day, with a flowing handkerchief topping off her ensemble. A group of oglers were standing in front of the place, and couldn't have helped noticing the hankie drop from the girl's pocket to the side- walk. We waited for the "boy meets girl" episode, but the blokes kept on talking and the handker- chief remained on the walk until .another Judy came along, picked it up and handed it to the blonde after a chase. This little act may have started a beautiful friendship between the two girls concerned, but we couldn't help resenting the fact that the Joes in the drug store had passed up a swell story book romance. IT IS COMFORTING to note that quite a con- troversy is going on at the present over the game called "Craps." The controversy is be- tween -Edward Larocque Tinker and Herbert As- bury concerning the true origin of Africai Golf. Tinker, in his scholarly paper, "The Palin- genesis of Craps," claims that the pastime got its monicker in old New Orleans, when all Americans hated the French and called them "Johnny Crapauds." When the little dice-game itself was brought over from France, it was first called "Crapauds," and then shortened to "Craps." But Mr. Asbury, author of "The French Quar- .ter" down in Nawleens, scoffs at this theory and sides with Mr. Webster in claiming that the word is a Gallic corruption of the word "crabs" or "Crebs," which means the throwing of two aces, at hazard. * * * * We nominate for the best liar of the year, August F. Berning, of St. John, Mo. He sent the following letter into the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Those tol-corn arguments going on up there between Iowa and Illinois *prove that neither of the contending parties has ever been very far away from home or they would have heard of the famous "squirrel corn" that grows down in Horseshoe County, Mo. Down there, in the loop of Horseshoe Creek, is some overflow land. That patch of bottom land is as rich as cream.. It is covered with a dense forest of oak trees 80 feet high. Standing on a ridge you can look down on the top of this forest, smooth and even as a meadow. And rising from out of the top of the forest about this time of year, are large golden corn tassels, big as Christ- mas trees.

As Others See It The Roosevelt Constitution (From New York Herald-Tribune) WE REMARKED yesterday, as the President set forth for Roanoke, upon the unhappy manner in which Mr. Farley had managed to rewrite its history. The warning, it seems, was more opposite than we knew. Mr. Farley's error was a relatively innocent confusion of geography. The President, following in his footsteps, has not only rewritten the history of the United States but confused-with an adroitness which can hardly lay claim to innocence-the very nature of the Constitution which he is sworn to uphold and defend. One may pass over his startling discovery that the early colonists were "socialists" and that they ingerminated this nation with the principles of Karl Marx long before that philosopher pub- lished his Communist Manifesto. The President's concept of the Constitution, because it is more immediate practical significance, is more im- portant. To the President, apparently, that document is the work of those "who wanted a king," "who wanted to create titles" and who believed "that suffrage and the right to hold office should be' confined to persons of property and persons of education." If this is the Pres- ident's picture of the Constitutional Convention, then much in the history of the last few months; devoted as they have been to the destruction of the convention's work, becomes understandable. But is the President really as ignorant as he implies himself to be? After lengthy quotation from Macaulay, he goes on: "Macaulay con- demned the American scheme of government based on popular majority . . . I seek no change in the American form of government. Majority rule must be preserved." But what was that "scheme" or that "form" unless it was the form established by the alleged royalists of the Con- stitutional Convention? The President is simply using words in double meanings. He knows that the Constitution of 1789 was fully "based on pop- ular majority". he ought to know that it was not and never pretended to be a simple charter of dictatorship by any majority that might arise under any circumstances. It did not authorize any majority to do what it liked in 1789 any more than it authorizes a majority to, say, hang the Scottsboro defendants out of hand today. If it had, it would have been thrown out of the window by the sturdy democrats of 1789; just as any officer who now proposes to convert it into a charter for that kind of majority rule (it is the kind of majority rule now operating in Germany) deserves to be thrown out of office. If the President is not deliberately misleading his auditors, then he is revealing a large mis- comprehension of the organic law to which he is bound by his oath of office.
