This Billionaire Dictatorship Business
Since Ambassador Dodd's now famous letter advocating passage of President Roosevelt' Court reorganization plan, and at the same time warning against a "billionaire American" who is willing to finance a Nazi-type dictator ship in America, opponents of the court plan have been angrily demanding his recall. Denying that any billionaire would want Fascism in the United States, they point at the White House as the only danger from that source.
These gentlemen should study a little economics and political science. Nazism and Fascism are dictatorships of the Right. How can there be any danger of rightiest dietitorship in America as long as a mildly leftist and reformative government is in power? Who financed Hitler and Mussolini? It is well known by this time that it was the great industrialists and rich landowners who supplied them with their funds.
Is it not reasonable to assume that it is exactly this class of people that desire a dictatorship in this country? Labor is becoming resive, and industrialists are losing control of their workers. The Wagner Labor Relations Act ended their company unions, and the members are being taken over almost en masse by a great new militant labor movement, the C.I.O.
The tax on corporation reserves has them furious. They fear Roosevelt is going to impose some new tax on them that will cut down on profits. Is it strange, then, that they should eagerly desire the appearance of "The Man"? And is it strange that one of them might be willing to finance him?
Perhaps Ambassador Dodd is more right than he knows.
The Horrors Of Beer Fests
Now comes the weird idea that restaurants are the breeding places of anti-government activity. Rev, Fr. Joseph A. Luther, dean of men at the University of Detroit, is the fellow who had the brilliant idea.
According to this gentleman, the students "tend to congregate in restaurants, just as at the University of Michigan, 'chewing the fat,' criticizing the faculty and talking about overthrowing the government. They simply go over to the restaurants to get a couple of glasses of beer sometimes which isn't a good idea for the morning classes."
It would seem that what the honorable dean is really worried about is the criticism of the faculty. Surely he can't believe that students contemplate overthrowing the government. Granted that coffee shops were used for discussion by the French revolutionists, but that was long ago. But criticism of the faculty is really something to worry about. We've always contended that such practice is not only detestable, but scarcely cricket. How glad we are that such a thing doesn't go on at the University!
And besides, Reverend, isn't there something in the constitution about free assembly? Look out, or they'll sie the Supreme Court on those rules of yours. Then how would you feel?
Considerable debate is going the rounds in Great Britain as to whether Wally shall be permitted to use the title H. R. H. after she becomes Mrs. Windsor. If she fails in this, however, she should be comforted in the knowledge that probably some alert American college can be induced to award her an honorary degree.—Kansas City Kansan.
They'll Be At It Again Soon
The great American publicity agents, the newspapers, will hold an anniversary the last of this week. The day will not commemorate the founding of the first newspaper, nor the death of a great editor. Instead the occasion will remember the tenth anniversary of Lindbergh's flight to Paris.
On this day the newspapers will splatter their front pages with pictures of the newspaper-made idol landing in Paris and pictorially review the outstanding events of Lindbergh's flight, and the tragic event which followed

For all the fame, sorrow, and joy that the colonel has known since 1927, the aviator owes the newspapers, who took it upon themselves to shoulder him through the world, amid years of headlines and intimate news stories.
Campus Opinion
Who Are Lawbreakers?
Editor_Dailv_Kansan:
This mightn't bother Ex-Sex-Manager Reed and the Kansas City Citizens Protective Council (Skirbeckleen League, for short), for God and the Kansas City Star, on their side.
But just as a matter of fact the two worties are either very ignorant or speak with forked tongues. Disregarding the rest of their unbelievable course at the Department of Education, the Department Workers Union, one should note that they speak of him as a Communist. Nothing is further from the truth that he was born in 1928 borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars from two Republic millionaires, one of whom was Rosewood of Chicago to drive Communists from the
Part of the American system is the right to organize for collective bargaining, including a delegation of workers in the United States in particular one popularly labeled the Wagner Labor Relations Act, and maybe they will discover that they.
Remember gentlemen—this is not Harlan, Kentucky, or Imperial Valley, California. This is the United States, 1837, and there was an election just a few years ago, where puns licked off. And if you are so concerned with law and order, why not investigate the murder, last year of Bill Polley, union official? Not interested? We won.
If Reed, al., are American so were the Tories that our country had to rid itself of its infit for flight
You Sure Said It
Editor Daily Kansan:
Talk about your terrible write-ups!
Whover we write Sunday's story on the Kansas-Missouri track meet sure should get the boozy prize of the year. It might be added as a post-script to those essays, written in another column on page one of Sunday's issue.
Mr. Sports Editor, why can't you get a decent writer to report such important victories as this Didn't have this sense bearing on Kansas' chances in the playoffs? You'd just need to tell it. It didn't seem that way after reading the write-up.
And why pan Ernie Klimch for dropping out of the 2-mile race. You might not have actually pummed him but your reporter sure did make it evident that he did drop out. He ran a beautiful race in the mile run an
But here's the prize borer of the entire column.
Quote—Misouri made a clean sweep of the two mile run after Klann dropped out of the race after the first mile—Unquote.
I know nothing about journalism or reporting but I think I do know enough to see as glaring a case of repetition or something when your reporter uses the same sentence as he did and twice in the same short sentence.
Between you and me, Editor, this is by far the most useful write-up over written, I think. And so do

"The German University has no campus. Its students do not enjoy campus life as you have it here in America," says Hans-Ulrich Weiss, German exchange student from Koenigswijk, East Prussia. The universities are located in the largest cities, usually in the business section.

German Exchange Scholar Praises Campus Life; Criticizes Grad School
"There are no social programs, for there are no girls." Only a small percentage of the students in the universities are women. The majority of them prepare for teaching science. "There are no social programs; thus students attend concerts and other programs in the city sponsored by private organizations.
HANS-ULRICI WEISS
No Social Fraternities
The students are scattered about the city, living in private rooms or at home. They do not have the social fraternities and their homes are there any dormitories. Faculty members do not concern themselves with the private life of the students.
"There is not enough academic freedom in the graduate school in America," complained Weiss. Here a graduate student must attend classes, take prescribed courses, and be treated in the same manner as
No Social Fraternities
Tops in Entertainment
All lectures in the university are open to all those enrolled in the university. Law students may attend lectures in economics and government, and students of medicine may attend those of sociology and psychology. Lectures are given every hour from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and in the evening from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock.

an undergraduate. He pointed out that in the German university there are no daily quizzes, required attendance, or system of points and credits. The German student is entirely responsible for his own education. He may consult a faculty adviser, but he is not required to follow his advice. He selects his own subjects and arranges his profficiency with the different lectures and seminars, the student selects those which suit him. He pays for them at so much an hour a semester.

Have Only Fatal Examinations!
A German student does not worry about any examination until the final exam. But the examination covers all the work done during the four years in the university. The dissertation for lawyers lasts for three weeks. For other groups it may last for six weeks. The dissertations have to be typed and bound. The oral examinations are extensive and take about seven hours. The 18 subjects that Weiss carried were pressed into six pools with an hour test for each one. Students do not know what professors they will have for their examinations, so they seated around a table fire questions at the student who is supposed to know the standard literature and the main theories.

Trained in Gymnasium
German universities are graduate schools to which admission is gained by foreigners. In the Gymnasium, Germany does not have anything similar to our undergraduate colleges with their A.B. and B.S. degrees. The Gymnasium is a combination of our high school and college and includes nine years of education. Its function is to prepare students for college and colleges. It has regular one hour classes and "cutting" class is

a great offense. Classes are held from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. every day. Once or twice a week, usually in the afternoon, they have athletics.
There is one class for each year or nine classes in each Gymnasium. Each student stays in the same class unless he drops back to repeat work. He does not attend a group. If they have more students, they divide the school into two sections of nine years each. An average school has about 700 students. The secondary schools are four and girls and girls have separate schools.
UNION FOUNTAIN
Gradulating Age is Higher
Languages, mathematics, and German are considered major subjects.
Minor subjects include history, geography, chemistry, physics, art and drawing. Students falling in two majors must repeat the whole year's work. Many stop three or four times to repeat, thereby raising the average age of the students. The average age of the class in which Weiss graduated was 23% years. In the school which Weiss attended were 100 boys in three branches, two Real Gymnasiums and one Gymnasium. Out of these 100, only 15 did not repeat work. Weiss attended Real Gymnasium where he acquired nine years of French, six years of Latin, and five years of English.
