Dower.. .;t8 Cumlinc Tvon MR Munnvinz Editor Thk Isue Newm Thi4 Issue_____ Friday, May 1, 1936 BOOSTING There are two kinds of criticism, we are told: con structive and destructive. The former, we are told, is much to be preferred to the latter because everybody is working for the best good of the school and encourage ment is greatly desired. Sometimes things go slightly astray but, if there is sensible cooperation, all wili turn out for the best in this "best of all possible 'worlds." With this in mind, the COLLEGIAN takes great pleasure in pointing with pride to a definite forward step. The 1.0:16 Artists Course was, to .put it mildly, a howling. success. Both financially and intrinsically it was tops. For the first time since its resumption in 19:11, the Course has shown a profit and if comments and general indications mean anything, the artists se cured were infinitely better, as a whole, than has been the case in previous years. The COLLEGIAN extends its thanks and appreciation to the Artists' Course committee and to Dr. Carl E. ltlarquardt, its chairman. Dr. Marquardt and the com mittee have worked long and unselfishly for the ad vancement of an ideal and although realization of that ideal is still buried in the future, a definite step forward ha; been achieved. The Artists' Course has come far and if the pres ent trend among undergraduates is any indication, it will go even further next year. The Course this year was a financial success. For the first, time since its inception, practically, the committee starts out next year with capital to work with and, no .deficit staring it in the face. This, of course, is greatly to be desired and yet is actually of subordinate interest to the committee whose chief concern is to see the Course become entirely the property of undergraduate students themselves. ually, this year, only GOO or less or the 1300 seats in Schwab auditorium were occupied by under graduate students here. It is the aim of the commit tee and the faculty' in general to fill every seat in the auditorium with students, even if the townspeople and faculty Weathers have to stand outside in the snow and listen to the recitals. In metropolitan centers a Course is more or less superfluous because of cultural advantages which neces sarily are a part of every large city. Here, such is-not the case and if students arelii develop an interest in the holy fine things—an interest which will return divi dends a hundred fold in later life—they must get it through attendance at and interest in the Artists' Course. It is for this reason that the faculty members and the committee in,particular are willing to—nay, de sire to—give up their seats to undergraduates. . Again the COLLEGIAN extends its thanks and appre ties to Dr. Marquardt and the 1936 Artists' Comic committee. If in the future the Course is run as effi ciently and the numbers secured are as fine as this year's, the Course cannot fail to develop into the fore most place in undergraduate activity, which it justly deserves. —E. T. S. COOPERATION CALLED FOR As the last important item in their campaign this spring, the Student Peace Action Council is bringing to the campus three field workers in the Emergency Peace campaign. Well-informed no to "what goes on" in na tional and international affairs, these speakers should, if peace sentiment here is as strong as last week's dem onstration would indicate, attract a large audience. The last time the Council brought a speaker here— Frederick J. Libby, founder of. the peace action move ment—:n "unfortunate" incident occurred. Having a meeting of their own on the same night, the local chap ter of the A. S. U. sent a representative to hear the address. A garbled account of Mr. Libby's speech was reported to the A. S. U. and the result was a widening of the breach between this group and the Council. Although these two groups have since worked to gether, it is now up to the A. S. U. to demonstrate that it can aid a project of the Peace Action Council's in as able a fashion as the Council assisted in the strike which had its origin with the A. S.'U. Other campus organi zations in addition to . the A. S. U. may be' asked to co operate—they should do so—but' this group in par ticular, which has already done much to demonstrate that they are not, contrary, perhaps, to popular opinion, a "bunch of dirty reds," should give the Council their full aid in making the program n success. ENDOCTRINATION NOTE A pamphlet, "Americanism—What Is' It?", ,pre pared by the New York County American Legion for distribution among school children,, has been attacked.by 11. , B. 'Choillaux, chairman of the National American Commission of the Legion because it recommends "a radical policy to American youth." One of the statements in the paMphlet to which Mr. Chain:tux 'has objected is this:: "Never was it more necessary.. than now for Americans to support their right to freedom of speech and freedom to listen and learn."- "This," says Mr. Chnillaux,.of the "funda mental principles of Communism and other.un.:Amer icon fore 4" He might have added that ,it,happens also to be one of the fundamentals of the Anierican Constitution. . . The fight against the pamphlet is being led, ac cording to a member of the committee _which drew it up, by a representative of Mr. Hearst. And we had always thought that freedom of speech and freedom of the press were somehow connected. Thespers: Concluding that there was too much pulchitrude going to waste and that the show needed a few Les blan touches tq titivate some of the more or less leth argic scenes, Johnny Binns and Dick Allen decided to rewrite ;niks of "Stocks and Blondes" and add a few facts of life. Always a good gag, they placed a girl in the one bedroom scene and had her pretend to he a somnambulist when caught by Jay Gould and the constable. From then on there was a series of 'what the'writers called double. entende,s. Things were looking.up and everything was go ing fine. However, either the publicity department worked too hard or times have changed.. Anyway, Dr. Hetzel decided that he would attend the show, the first time in many years.

Pigeons in the Grass: It may have been Spring and then again it may have been just the heat; anyway, when Prof. Schmel ale sprung an unannounced economics quiz and asked: "Distinguish between pain, fatigue, and opportunity costs," he got the following answer: Pain is the well from which pain springs, Fatigue slackens the swallow on its wings.
