The American Legion as a na
tional organization has never
taken any action relative to an
international survey of liquor
control, and the only action
taken relative to the prohibition
question was in the adoption of
the following resolution at De
troit: "Whereas, The Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States has created
a condition of danger and dis
respect for law and security of
American institutions; now
therefore,
"Be It Resolved, That The
American Legion in the Thir
teenth Annual Convention as
sembled favors the submission
by Congress for repeal or modi
fication of the present prohibi
tion law to the several states,
with the request that each state
submit this question to the
voters thereof."

people. Human nature is a
wonderful thing but tew people
like to be told that they can not
do certain things just because
it may be harmful to them and
which is not a crime in itself.
. I am for temperance, and pro
hibition that does not punish
the small man and let the man
with means get by and have nis
whisky in his home, his club or
some place where he can drink
what he wishes and laugh at
law enforcement. It is true the
present law does not discrimin
ate, but the enforcement omcers
can usually get the small vio-
later while the larger ones have
better opportunities of getting
by and many people take the
view that the only crime is get
ting caught not the breaking of
the law itself.
Appreciation Of Dancing Depends
On Emotions, Declares Kreutzben
, - o
World's Foremost Male Dancer Tells Daily Tar Heel Interviewer
That Limits of Dance Are as Wide as Any Art, and With.
Expansion Will Come More Masculine Artists.
' -o
In the dance, if one would
understand it, the thing to look
for is the mood or emotions
which a number or program in
spires," Harald Kreutzberg,
plained to a Daily Tar Heel in
terviewer Friday afternoon at
the Washington Duke hotel,
prior to his performance that
night under the auspices of the
Duke university concert series.
Kreutzberg had been asked
why at times persons in audi
ences have claimed to fail to
understand the nuances of the
dance.
"Even the most uneducated
tions, and the dance aims to stir
the emotions of the audience by
gestures, quality of motion,
grace, poise, and rhythm. . .
Education Not Essential
"It makes no difference
whether a man be educated
or
not; a dance program would be
sucssful, eiv before a
rouP of workers. lhe emotions
eVked within them WOUld, Of
?urs' q.uite different Jrom
those experienced by a highly
educated audience. You do not
expect a full appreciation of a
dance numbV portraying mys
ticism, do you, if you know
nothing, f or , instance, of St.
Francis?, As & person is more
educated he is better able to get
more out of a dance, but every-
ill l i 1 1
one can ootn understand and
enjoy the art."
Like Ted Shawn, Kreutzberg,
is of the opinion that the dance
genius comes into being rather
as a result of his personality and
native ability than as a result !
of schools of the dance, al-
though schools are invaluable in
laying the foundation work Of

"What does the Mary Wig

Herr Kreutzberg was asked.
Duncan Vs. Wigman
"After the war, the younger
generation of Germany wanted
to throw overboard all the old
standards because they thought
they had failed. Isadora Dun
can sought the beautiful. Mary
Wigman said, 'We will do some-
thing that hasn't been tried in
interpretative dancing; we will
dance the - incongrouous, the
however, some of the beautiful,
and all of those who lead revolu
tions of the dance must come
back to the pure and true as
presented by the best in dancing
in all ages."
On the subject of the lack of
male interpretative dancers in
modern times, the artist, who is
said by Max Reinhardt to be the
greatest living male dancer and
who is only twenty-nine years
old, evinced unusual interest.
This is a field in which he is
tremendously interested.
Wide Limits to Dance
"Among the ancients, only the
men were permitted to dance in
the war, dramatic, and religious
dances. However, recently the
conventional interpretative dance
has been better adapted to fem
inine movements, such as coque
try. Now, I believe that we
must expand. The limits of the
dance are as wide as any art.
With this expansion will come
more male artists.
"Dancing like the opera, and
even symphonic music needs
fresh life and inspired creators,

Columbia college, being situat
ed in the heart of the greatest
city in the world, offers a real
problem to undergraduate fra
ternities. Property values are
many times over what they
wguld be on the average campus,
and the result is that each fra
ternity must be satisfied with a
comparatively small house, and
some are even driven into small
apartments near the campus.
The fact that a good part of the
student hodv of Columbia is
made up of commuters who live
in the city or just outside also
complicates matters, for often
the small houses which can be
obtained in New York cannot be
filled with resident brothers.
The students are torn between
the social life of their home dis
tricts and that of the college,
and fraternity social life is
therefore less important to the
students than it would be at the
"country club" type of Ameri
can college. The belief of com
petent observers here is that
fraternities at Columbia will be
reduced from the existing twen

Discussing fraternities at
Ohio State should be a monu
mental task, particularly when
one considers that we are un
affiliated. But with the audaci
ous characteristics of the habit
ual "disinterested observer" we
shall attempt to summarize our
sentiments on the topic of fra
ternities. We consider the trend toward
student dormitories a significant
one. As we contemplate the re
spective assets and liabilities of
the house plan we are impressed
j with the fact that the houses
usurp many or most of the assets
of the fraternity and show few
er items to be listed on the lia
hiliv sidA of the ledsrer. Es
sentially the assets of both fra
ternities and . houses may be
considered as companionship,
social prestige and activities of
cnpinl and nolitical nature. The
houses lack only the asset of "so
cial prestige" which is admitted
ly ephemeral and transitory.
There is one rather obvious
liability that the fraternity has
that the house may lack, and that
is the lack of privacy. Educa-

ALUMNI COUNCIL
PLANS VIGOROUS
LOAN CAMPAIGN
Group Discusses Loans and Fu
ture Prospects of Permanent
University Endowment.
Gifts totaling approximately
$30,000 were received by the
University during 1931v accord
ing to the annual report made
yesterday by Felix A. Grisette,
director of the Alumni Loyalty
Fund. The total represents 1,840
contributors living in fifty-three
North Carolina counties, twenty-six
states other, than North
Carolina and eight foreign coun
tries. Every living class of
alumni is represented among the
gifts.
' The report of the activities of
the Loyalty Fund office was
made to the annual meeting of
the Alumni Loyalty Fund Coun
cil held yesterday afternoon in
the office of President Frank P.
Graham.
Aside from the ' amount of
money actually received during
the year the director of the fund
reported that much progress
was being made in a program
of bequests ftfr the University.
It is anticipated that this pro
gram is setting in motion the
machinery ',. which will make
available to the University large
sums of money in the form of
bequests. More than a hundred
prominent attorneys throughout
the United States are serving
on this committee whose duties
are to urge their clients to put
the University in their wills.
The council voted to devote all
its energies during the coming
months to a vigorous prosecu
tion of the emergency loan fund
throughout North Carolina. It
is expected that the state-wide
phase of the emergency appeal
will begin immediately. v

Fraternities as a whole have
not fallen in power so much at
Virginia as at most other
American universities because
they have never been so power
ful there as at other places.
Soon after new men register at
Mr. Jefferson's university they
get an exaggerated idea of in
dividuality; and it is because
this spirit is antagonistic to the
co-operative disposition which
has made fraternities powerful
elsewhere, that the Greek letter
men at Virginia have never had
complete control of things.
When, a man comes to Char
lottesville to enter college he
finds that many petty and some
what foolish restrictions are put
on the first year student, such
as those that compel him to
wear a hat, that make him avoid
loitering in certain places, that
absolutely forbid that he "stick
out his neck." But despite these
regulations, the new man soon
realizes that he is in a Utopia
for individualists. No restric
tions whatsoever are placed on
free thinking and exceptionally
few rules hinder complete free
