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.
Stenhen J. 011.1111,1,11 '3H
.Wouarow W. Bierly '33
Conclusion: The rewritten show was rewritten
and you will See the same show that was presented
1. F. Ball week-end.
While we are on the subject, when the Maniac
called our comments on Clara Johes she should have.
mentioned that she has renewed thcsping after one
of her songs was deleted from the production.
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.
Opportunity knocks but once,
But what to me are a few more flunks
The first two lines are brief and flitting,
The last two are, I think, more fitting.
The writer passed the quiz.
