Unquestionably the motive in organisittion here is to jack band prices. Sentiment on the campus is that the prices a•c too high for four hours' work. It is not a question of a living wage, or of unfair dis ciimination, or collective bargaining—those factors that have contributed to the national situation. Merely it is one of raising the price. 4 here, and safeguarding that raise with the blacklisting of those who do not co•op- The results of the drive should be watched closely by students. Should it succeed, there may follow attempts by other trades to organize here under similar condi- Musicians' antics here and elsewhere have been far from convincing as to the necessity of a price raise. And it is not the musicians that the student should worry about. It is himself. A virtual monopoly on dance orchestras has existed here for a number of ST:U.S. Student groups had little to do hut to hire a local band. Most of.the time they were glad to help fellow students who were picking up a little extra pin Money by playing. That was what the campus dance bands were supposed to he. The men in them were from all intents and purposes going to college, seeking an education. They were not trying to make a living from the students. But students are going to resent this attempt at a shakedown. It is not the , student's worry how many times the campus band plays out of town and Tor how much. If the campus band wishes to do that, it may But it is not for the campus band to turn around and try to coerce that group which it has bled for so long into dcing things the way it wishes for no justifiable Fraternities, who hold. dances for enjoyment and not to make money, particularly are going to resent it. Al ready they have had to deal with money-hungry musi cians, whose purpose seems not to be paid in proportion to the service rendered but all that they can wheedle by hook or crook. It calls for a distinction between . a campus dance Land, and a band organized on a full-time basis, with' a job or two every day. Organizations here are under the impression that they have had to pay too much for music in the past and that they have I'M! to accept too many shady deal ings in getting it. They have borne it so far uncom plainingly, but if they become the victims of coercion they are going to rebel. If organization here is justified, We shall have no campus dance bands. We shall have recognized com mercial units that deserve no more• support frOm the students than does some band 5,000 miles away. If blacklisting is attempted, Mr. Student Opinion, we feel, will rear on his hind legs, and utter an emphatic "Nuts." WHAT CAUSES DICTATORSHIPS? DP.. OVIMSTREET'S lecture Friday night was a remarkable and logical explanation of the rea sons underlying the formation of a dictatorship. His suggestion teas that Germany became a dictatorship be cause it did net know how to become anything else. His lucid picture of what happens without education and free speech can clearly be understOod when he said that almost all Germans are for Hitler, Germany, he said, is looking to regain her lost pride and power. Having no help from the Allies after the war in set ting up her Republicanism, she failed from lack of knowledge as to how the thing was supposed to work. More than anything, Dr. Overstreet's analysis of the cause of Germany's dictatorship was an indictment of war and its follies. And, indirectly, it was the best anti-war lesson the campus has had the opportunity of receiving. • OPENING IS THE P. S. C. A.'s drive for funds with which to carry on its work. The best' way for the in dividual student to decide whether or not to contribute is to take a look into the records of the organization and decide if he feels it will bring him something in return. If he finds that the P. S. C. A. is doing something for him, he is more thin obligated to reciprocate; OLD.

The speaker 'emphasized the fact that the German people wanted Hit ler, he wasn't .forced on them: Hitler as a character typifies 'the character of Cerinany at her best and 'worst, he said. -'tle has a mystic appeal to the .peopre, claiming ,to represent the very soul.of - ,the Germanic rate, and ' . that,fGerinany will. bring about a great ,'peace through 'their culture, the' prOfessor explained. Claims Italians Are. Realistic "Italy was riot a defeated nation but a 'gypped' one, for they fought and received no .share of the spoils. They are a realistic people with a Cynical past and,. broadly speaking, are a nation of extroverts, whereas Germany is a nation of introverts," the speaker declared. 'Mussolini has promised the people that they will once more become the great Roman , Empire, and as, yet his bluff has not hens called." Professor Overstreet spoke of Rus sia not as a defeated nation but nev ertheless 'a nation in a terrible condi tion' after the War. As is the case, when a downtrodden, uneducated class goes into power; the government - was in a turmoiche said. Lenin pre sented the people with a Bible, Con taining a plan to follow and also the answer to the .social problem, an an swer which Professor Overstreet said was impossible to - give.. . Crowded Japanese Full of Energy The speaker deseribed Japan as a crowded people.:full of energy, pos sessing a great'-power to imitate. Ja pan very frankly is attempting to "bear the white man's burden—gone yellow," and what is doing in China is ."for China'& own good," he ex plained. ;Professor Overstreet was high in hish praise of Turkey. "There is the one sound dictatorship of today," he said. "ft was founded as a necessity: Before the War, Turkey was living in the 16th century, but the shame lof their backwardness and self-criti eism brought about a youth movement which has brought Turkey up among the leading notions of today.
