Reform Can Be A Hot Potato
Comment
Three incidents—two of them in North America, the other in Europe—pillow the course which history will probably take among the democracies in the next several years, at least until the next world-wide depression.
Early this fall Leon Blum abdicated the longest premiership in France since 1916 in favor of Camille Cheautempts. Blum, leader of the Popular Front bloc, had pushed a program of social reform—had pushed it so fast and so far that the most sluggardly House of Deputies would not follow him and he sustained a reverse in the French parliament.
Lazero Cardenas, president of the Mexican Republic, facing, as did Leon Blum, a financial crisis has been forced to show the redistribution of land, the organization of agriculture into communes, the encouragement of public works, and the socialization of education.
In the United States following the market crisis of last month, President Roosevelt is facing his stiffest opposition from business and commercial interests since his rise to power in 1933. New Dealers themselves seem to be a bit shaky on the policy of pursuing more reform at the present time. Sources close to the administration indicate that the President, in convening the special session of Congress Nov. 15, may advocate a lowering of corporate profits tax rates, the elevation of railroad rates to compensate for rises in wages, and the delineation of a policy friendly toward public utilities. All of these represent concessions by the administration.
In all cases these reform movements were initiated by popular reaction against the hypocrisy and ignorance which failed to mitigate the economic collapse of 1929. In all these countries significant reform movements have been forced to halt far short of their goal. In all these countries prosperity seemed to follow in the wake of reform—up to a certain point. And that point reached, Cardenas and Blum and Roosevelt faced the failing confidence of business and a financial crisis.
These trends seem to show that once the march from the depths to prosperity has been retarded for an instant, reform is no longer opportunistic as a political philosophy. The end of reform and the stagnation of government is in sight—until a bigger and better depression.
More Impressive By Their Absence
"I should like very much to see college units of the R.O.T.C. march in parade. Just before the parade starts, let fifty per cent of the boys drop out, but don't close the ranks. The gaps are the places of those who were left 'over there.'" . That is part of the suggestion offered by Arthur Northwood, Jr., president of the National Student Federation for a demonstration portraying the horrors of war.
"Hatred of war is not enough, but more of it is sorely needed."
He says that within the past few weeks this country has been evidencing an increasingly war-like psychology. About the suggested demonstration he says, "I think it would do some girls good to look eagerly for their sweet-hearts, see a gap in the ranks, and suddenly realize that they were "killed in action"". He might well have mentioned parents and friends as well as girls, but it seems to be a good idea. There are enough R.O.T.C. units in the schools in the United States to make an impressive demonstration, marching proudly with scattered gaps in their ranks, with perhaps a large placard explaining those gaps.
They Also Detract Who Do Small Damage
Now that "Uncle Jimmy" and the Pioneer saturate are protected by a Men's Student Council resolution to push prosecution of individuals caught decearing them and a $50 reward for the apprehension and conviction of such individuals, attention might be turned to the lesser acts of vandalism and thoughtlessness that mar the University campus.
Outstanding among these are the painting of sidewalks and the distribution of handbills. For the sake of those who must paint signs on the sidewalks, it might be pointed out that white wash is much cheaper than the sort of paint that stays to detract from the appearance of the Campus long after the advertised event has been forgotten.
It has long been the practice of many groups to stand at strategic points and hand out varicolored dodgers to class-bound students. An unbiased survey has shown that more than 99 per cent of these students drop the dodgers within 16 steps after having received them, giving the campus a circus-groups appearance.
Perhaps the Men's Student Council and the W.S.G.A. can do something about these minor irritations.
Let's Have No Line Where None Should Be
Students in semi-organized and unorganized houses have started a movement for organization that will ultimately include a wide and promising program. Plans are being made for social functions that will make up the deficiency in the social life of most independent students, which usually is confined to mid-weeks and variates.
Only one danger lies in this movement. That is an accentuation of the demarcation between sorority and fraternity members and independent students.
The University is fortunate in that that line is not as clearly drawn here as it is in many other colleges and universities. However, the larger and more progressive universities are even further abolishing the distinction.
All effort should be toward that end.
Barkless dogs have been imported from Belgium. . Now if someone would import a noiseless auto horn. . .

"Which brings us to another point," said his int-reviewer. "Just how practical are these schools of journalism, any way?" How well can a classroom prepare a reporter to his way on a modern newspaper?
"The only way to answer that question is to tell you that the top reporter is always the best informed reporter. It doesn't matter so much how you get your information, so long as you have it." He continued by advising future reporters to take as many courses as possible in the political science, economics, and sociology departments of their university, and to learn problems of the future will be to interpret these aspects of the news for his reader, he believes; and to do this he must have as wide and thorough a background as possible. That is where education comes in.
"There were some good questions asked in classes today." Mr. Bailey recalled, smiling. "Ralph Hemenway, of the Minnesota Messenger, had just told a class in advertising that he always did his buying in his home town, so as to keep peace with his advertisers, whereupon someone piped up, "Oh, is your newspaper run for your advertisers?" Ralph explained to him that the smaller the paper, the greater influence he gets. "It also puts out than any newspaper which was entirely subservient to any advertiser or group of advertisers would soon end in bankruptcy." "You can't please all of your advertisers, no matter how hard you try; consequently, it isn't a good idea to go to too great lengths in pleasing them.
A.A.U.W. To Hold Supper Meeting
