PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY NOV 16 1928 Kansan Comment Students Plan Course of Studv A novel plan to give the student body a voice in formulating their own plan of study is being instigated at Princeton University, with the appointment of an undergraduate committee on academic affairs to act as a lasson between students and faculty members. The group includes athletes and students prominent in activities, as well as Phi Beta Kappa's. The duties of the committee are numerous. It will express student desires for new or altered courses, for outside lectures and their subjects, and will help in the regulation of examinations. It will give recognition to professors doing excellent teaching and will be expected to offer an intelligent criticism of courses. One of the first actions of the committee will be to attempt to revitalize the preceperial system introduced 30 years ago by Woodrow Wilson, which has been described by Dr. Walter P. Hall. Dodge professor of history, as going downhill. Doctor Hall suggested that preceptorials be abandoned altogether, that attendance be made more compulsory, or that an incentive toward good work be provided through the exemption of the best students from examinations. This plan is one of several varieties that are being tried throughout the country. An attempt is being made to find solutions to the problems of disunity, inefficiency, and inadequate preparation. This experiment will be interesting to watch. Condemn Jewish Riots But Let Us Not Forget While condemning the anti-Jewish riots in Germany, let us not forget that 20 years ago the United States was the scene of similar riots against Germans—or thought-to-be-Germans—living in this country. Germans and pacifists were dismissed from their jobs; universities expelled professors and students suspected of pro-German tendencies; the espionage act was invoked against anyone who attempted to oppose the war; and the study of German literature and language in schools was prohibited by legislation. Anything German made the American people see red; and anyone thought to be pro-German was liable to be tarred-and-feathered—if he wasn't arrested first. Condemn the anti-Semitism in Germany? By all means, yes! Let us condemn, and vow we won't be "taken in" again. For weren't the Germans the barbarians of the western world? Weren't they the Huns who had invaded innocent little Belgium and who had cut off the hands of every Belgian child? (Well, every Belgian child anyone heard about.) Weren't they the uncultured people about which every despicable thing—thinkable or unthinkable—was undoubtedly true? Hans Schmidt is being "taken in" today, even as John Smith was "taken in" 21 years ago. The Germans have been told about the Jews: How the Jews stabbed the valiant and victorious German army in the back, and therefore lost the war; how the Jews caused the depression and the inflation, and profited threat at the expense of the "pure" Germans; how the Jews ruled Germany through democracy, Communism, and big business; and how the Jews are a race closer related to the apes than to Aryans. . . Speed Decreases Size of World Scientifically, at least, the world grows progressively smaller. The average man who was prone to think of Berlin, Paris, and Moscow as far away, is now assured by none other than Captain Eddie Rickenbacker that weekend jamts to these places will be the usual thing in 1943. Oc course, these weekend jaunts will probably be made only by the Rockefellers, the Morgans, and the rest of the "sixty families" Paris, Berlin and Moscow will in reality be just as far away as before for the average man, but the world will also shrink in his mind as a result of knowing he could fly to Berlin to practice on his German lesson—if he could just save the necessary wherewithal. But as the world thus grows smaller in the minds of its citizens, will its new dimensions also bring about the attitudes which should come from closer contact—understanding, goodwill, and co-operation—the traits of neighborliness? Europe will undoubtedly feel more crowded than ever, knowing she is rubbing elbows with the United States, heretofore a neighbor farther down the international street. And if certain countries do not change many of their financial and cultural restrictions, Europe will not be rubbing elbows with much of the United States. Instead of bringing about peace among the children in the world's backyard, this speedier transportation may help prolong the kiddies' squalling. Captain Rickenbacker, as the president of Eastern Air Lines, knows whereof he speaks. And with the confused state of the world today, he knows better than to predict other than scientific advancement. End of 'Amateurism' Also End of Hypocracy The day of lily-white amateurism is wailing. Two recent announcements are further evidence of this tendency: Carnegie Tech, which frankly admitted that their "deserving football players" are paid $850 a year, and Donald Budge, American Davis Cup and the world's number one tennis player, who has accepted a $75,000 offer to turn professional. In turning "pro." Budge treads in the footsteps of Tilden, Richards, Vines, Perry, and other tennis greats. Young Budge could have made lasting fame for himself in the history of amateur tennis. While he could probably have gained more attention playing for cheers and loving cups. Budge speculated he couldn't live on such rewards. Because athletics are beginning to assume a place in the entertainment industry, and fans are willing to pay handsome prices to see their favorite teams and individual athletic stars perform, it seems only right that the players who put on the show should share in the spoils. Carnegie Tech's unhypocritic announcement should be followed by other schools. Many, of course, maintain that athletics are of minor importance in University life. Nevertheless as long as the turnstiles of the big stadiums continue to click with millions of fans paying luxurious prices for tickets, football can't be of minor importance. Coaches are handsomely paid, new campus buildings constructed with the athletic proceeds, but most football players still continue to be treated like gladiators of old Roman days.

Newly Published Books Bound To Be Read It's not too much to expect that Hans Fallada's "Wolf Among Wolves" (Punam), will go down in literary history as the epic that was born in the fantastic German inflation of the 1920s. 'Wolf Among Wolves'-coat. She is forced on the street and is arrested. Pagel meets two old army officers under whom he wounds von Wracktchna and von Stuhnau. However, that is not to say that the novel will remain on library shelves to be worn to shreds by hungry readers in years to come, for many an epic is yellowing in many an attic. It takes more than a year for a novel to become a novel, more than fine writing and more than a good story. "Wolf Among Wolves," has all of those Time will tell whether it lives. The central character is Wolfgang Pagel, war-weery youth "no gambles out a preacreious living for himself and the girl shoe clerk, Marie." He offers pawns her clothes for food, leaving her with only his summer overcoat. She is forced on the street and is arrested. Pagel meets two old army officers under whom he wounds von Wracktchna and von Stuhnau. Fallada, who wrote himself into the ranks of best sellers with "Little Man, What Now?" a few years ago, has achieved in "Wolf Among Wolves" an epodice style which is more distinctive as just as the mark decreased in value. Aggressor nations "have come within reach of gaining the decisive points" in the "second great war," according to Liddell Hart, noted British military writer, in a new book, "Through the Fog of War" (Random House). "The situation in this great new war as it stands now is that the attacker has been allowed to come within reach of gaining the decisive points without a battle." Hart writes, "and in the most vital direction we have made no serious attempt to prevent him. 'Through the Fog of War'- That's only the bare bones of the story, but it's enough to hint at the climaxes lurking in the plot. Fallata breaks the continuity into episodes, flashing back in quick phrases with a movie-like technique to connect the story. Many times such flashbacks are paired with phrases that they give the 700-pass novel a quiet tempo which makes it hard to lay down. This new achievement of the young author is mainly the story of a girl who rose from the "kerosene circuit" to be a fine actress. But it likewise is the story of a man who spent his years and his money in the business. These two characters, however, play their roles on a crowded stage with others who have the warmth of reality. Another story of American life, stepped in the romanticism peculiar to Michel Foster, as exemplified in his "America Dream," unfolds in his latest book, "To Remember at Midnight" (Morrow). At the prison Pagel learn errorenously that Petra has admitted to being a street walker. He leaves for Novockwitt's rundown estate in disguise to help him put it back on a paying basis. Here Pagel and von Krawitz wielding a knife and deprivacy and in an atmosphere of an impending putsch, achieve some success. But all that tumbles around their ears. Yet out of the ruins Pagel finds, largely by contrast, that he still loves Petra. Stuckmann gravitates into his niche manager of a de luxe insane assult. "Armament programs merely belong to the grand tactics of this modern kind of war; they are vain if you are beaten strategically. 'To Remember At Midnight'- Since we've heard that Marshall Sterns, professor of English at Yale is an officer in the National Swing Association, our secret ambition is to get the entire English department in one room, put a good arrangement there, and use it on the stetula, and then sit back and chart their reactions. Ann Parnet is the actress, the notes 'n discords Ted Terrell, a writer on the Okla. A. & M. Daily O'Collegian, thinks that we've insulted southern colleges and says it's too bad that we can't say something nice once in a lifetime. So Southern institutions of learning. "We (Great Britain and her allies) have been counting this risk," he said, referring to its military strategy, its colossal blunders and occasional successes before internal starvation caused Germany's collapse, provides an illuminating key to what many observers fear will be the next world war. "We can do much smaller rather than the current technique of Nazi Fascist intervention. Something tells us Terrell has one of those quick-tempered southern dispositions that you read about in novels that feature magnolias and negro mammies and the Lost Cause, so we don't intend to have any misunderstanding with a southern gentleman like Terrell. Maybe we can't say anything nike about southern people, but there's a Homo A & M. Down there they call a spade a spade. They come right out and call themselves Aggries. None of the "applied science and agriculture" stuff for the Stillwater boys and girls. (Kansas State Collegian please note.) According to the El Dorado Times a distinguished alumnus in Butler county has doped what the Crimson and Blue stand for. The first color, he says, refers to the recent "red scare" at the state University of Iowa. Blue is for the way students and alums feel after almost every game. After the swell job that J. Wilkins and the combined Men's and by John Randolph Tye child of second-rate troups. Jake Banion is the strange genius who divided his love between Ann and the theater. In the supporting cast are William Henry, Ann's father and "ham" baritone; James Fraser, Victorium romanicist and Ann's patron; his son, Johnathan, who carries Ann, and others no less vivid but with minor roles. Each of these people is searching, searching for something they fail to find. Some fail and some succeed in their undertakings, but the queen goes on. Foster dramatizes this in forceful prose, with high imagination, without overstepping the bounds of reality. Women's Glee Clubs did with "Blossom Time," might we suggest that "The Mikado" would make a production for next year's offering. Aside to the Shinster: If there is no other way, a duel it must be. This department is prepared to meet you any morning at dawn under the dueling walnuts in front of them. The choice of weapons is yours. If Kon Postlethwaite didn't look so worn-out from his Washington trip we'd lecture him good for speaking of the "sheer perfection" of anything. Perfection as a noun stand alone; it needs no adjective to give it strength. The construction "sheer perfection" is as asinine and as useless as "most unique" or "perfect virgin." Wonder if anyone on the campus has a name as lovely as Philomela Bourassa's? The Dean Says-ning. Particularly fortunate, as well, was the selection of the brilliant and colorful costumes that through-out舞台 made a delightful picture on the stage. Continued from page 1 Anna Katherine Kiehl, as Mrs. Cohen; Helen Campbell, as Irma Greta Gibson as Gretta; Mac Tinklepaugh as Novotny; Helen Meyer as Mr. Kranz; Ethelyn Burna as Rosi; Richard Gray as Domayer; J. R Ramsey as Erkmann; and Bob Brooks as Binder. David Hughes as Olga, a charming flower vender; and Carroll Nickels with his violin added a fine touch to several parts of the operetta. A high spot of Act II was the finished work as a ballet dancer of Maxine Pendleton, who was repeatedly recalled following her dancing. The musical score, made up for the most part with melodies from the great Schubert's compositions, was one of melody at its best, and the selected orchestra under the skillful guidance of Prof. Karl Kuersteiner deserves an extra hairstyle for the large part it conning. Particularly fortunate, as well, was the selection of the brilliant and colorful costumes that through-out舞台 made a delightful picture on the stage. Many other contributed their part toward the fine results obtained. To Raymond Eastwood, who was largely responsible for the preparation of the aceremony, and to others, especial thanks are due. Mr. Calderwood, Don Dixon, and Roberta Cook and others were responsible for make-up. The difficult and laborious task of KANSAN DRAKES 2 FOR 1 SALE Rankin's Drug Store "Handy for Students" 1101 Mass.
