FUNCTION OF A. A. U. P
Johns Hopkins Law Head Gives Talk
At Decennial Celebration
The common belief thht the Amer
ican Association of University Pro
fessors has for its main function the
coercion of administrations is erro
neous, Dr. Walter W. Cook, of Johns
Hopkins University told one hundred
members of the local chapter at a
decennial dinner Wednesday night.
That, at the most only one-tenth of
the work of the society falls into this
classification is the belief of the head
of the Institute of Law at Johns Hop
kins Its important function is the
consideration of student problems as
well as the discussion of professional
difficulties, the speaker explained.
In addition to Dr. Cook's address,
the former presidents of the local
chapter gave brief talks and copies
of a booklet on the meaning and the
accomplishments of the association
were distributed.

had searched high and low throughout

Colonel McCaskey Declares

Claims Student Objections to Military Training
, Would Die Out Unless Stimulated By
Outside, False Pressure -
I=l
"Sir, the opposition to R. 0. 7'. C.
among the students here is artificially
sustained by agencies both within and
outside the College."
Colonel Walter B. lik.Caskey, com
mandant, leaned on a yellow pine
drafting table in the armory. He al
ways stands up when talking to any
one and is usually on his feet even
while doing desk work.
"If students here were not being
urged on and influenced by artificial
pressure against It 0.T.0 , the objec
tion would die out of its own weight,"
the colonel said with a decisiveness
born of calling commands on the drill
field.
. Confronted by the report of the
Board of Trustees recommending that
a group of options be set up in mil-
Italy training and authorizing College
officials to set up this type of train
ing, the commandant shoved his hand
through his short bristly white hair
and said, "The practical obstacles are
great and will need much study and
compromise." That's all.
Should Learn Respect
He pulled an official book from the
Ishelf and opened it surely to the right
place. He read aloud, follovang the
words with a short forefinger, a long
and official opinion of the War De
partment, assuring special considera•
Lion to suggestions from the colleges
for changes in R 0. T. C.
When asked if the compulsory drill
and the uniform were the prime rea
sons for making the whole military
idea repugnant to students here as
suggested in the report, the colonel
repeated his belief that outside and
artificial - pressure produced the oppo
sition and he said, "The repugnance,
such as it is, for the uniform and the
military discipline are not ellough to
offset the value of these things to the
coos and the College."
"Yes," the commandant said to the
question: Do all men need experience
ORATORS TO MEET -
DICKINSON SUNDAY
Will Hold Oregon Style Radio Debate
On Capitalism Question Oler
WPSC at 4.00 O'clock
Continuing the unbroken series of
forensic relations which began in 1903,
Penn State debaters will meet Dickin
son College orators in an Oregon style
contest which will be broadcast over
station WPSC at 4 o'clock Sunday
afternoon
With "Resolved, that capitalism as
n system of economic organization is
unsound in principle" as the subject
for argument, Coleman Herpel '32
and Scott Keyes '33 will argue the
negative. Ray R. Kuebler and David
S Myers, of Dickinson, will support
the affirmative.
After a lapse of two days, the de
baters will again take the platform
when they engage William and Mary
College Williamsburg, Va , in a re
turn debate here Tuesday night. The
contest will be a split-team affair on
the state socialism-capitalism ques
tion.
Keyes and Paul L. Fox '33 have been
selected by Joseph F. O'Brien, men's
debate coach, for this contest. Fox
will pair with a William and Mary
debater to defend state socialism,
while Keyes and another William and
Mary orator will support capitalism.

plays the, part of Nick Potter in the
comedy, "Why, my grandmother has
one of those things."
And before Neusbnum could say yes,
Louise Adams, maid and understudy
to all feminine roles on the play, bloke
into the conversation with "The little
boy next door has one of those things.
I can got that, one."
It remained fn) Peter Meek, leading
man who had been in enough Player
shows to know the difficulties of
stage property, to climax the offerings.
"Why didn't you say you wanted
one of those things?" he questioned.
"We have one down home at Belle

He opened another file and indicated

Prof. Herbert A Miller was dismissed
from the University for fomenting
feeling against R. 0. T. C. It read,
"The Board feels that the University
should not be subjected to emotional
criticism because of the unripe voci
