Friday, November 18, 1932 But the Melody Lingers On The Columbia Spectator, which may be remembered for the various and vitriolic attacks of its editor, Reed Harris, on numerous university institu tions, still follows in the steps of its late master, and this week is launching a faculty poll on var sity football. "We are interest ed," says Spectator, "in seeing what the faculty members who have been in touch with the sys tem so many more years than ourselves, will have to say aBbut football at Columbia." Somehow we feel that Spec tator is in for a set back if it wishes to obtain a faculty indict ment against the gridiron sport. Attacks against football have come, in the main, from college publications desirous of obtain ing larger circulation, from pro fessors with head-line cravings, and from more or .less radical youths who possess tendencies so liberal that they are against everything. Football, they fail to realize in their accusations, is a business to the athletic managers and stadium builders. But to the public, whom Roose velt told us couldn't be "fooled all of the time," it's a red-blooded sport and not a business pro position. In what other light can the public, which fills sta diums every Saturday, consider it? Football has been the crown prince of sport for thirty-five years. We doubt that Colum bia's faculty may see it in a dif ferent lightD.C.S. Roosevelt's Magnanimity ' The acceptance by Governor Roosevelt of President Hoover's invitation to attend an unofficial conference at the White House presents the president-elect to the American people in a new light. Since the announcement of the invitation several days ago speculation has been rife as to the manner in which the Democratic leader would receive it. "Our government," said President Hoover to Roosevelt, "is now confronted with a world problem of major importance to this nation . . . which can only be solved with the complete co operation of both parties."-. The problem is the recent request of Great Britain and France, Amer ica's greatest debtors, that they be relieved of their immediate payments, and President Hoover will indeed find it a difficult one to solve alone. - This is the second time during his administration that the president has attempted to set tle international debt disputes informally. When they arose in acute form in the spring of 1931, he undertook to solve them without calling a special session of Congress. Today he is more precariously situated than be fore. He is a leader of a nation which has lost its confidence in him. In a special session of Congress he would find little co operation or support, and any legislation he might achieve without Democratic aid would, in, all probability be repealed by his successor. The necessity for some imme diate decisive action is evident to the leaders of both parties. Governor Roosevelt has shown himself to be greater than party prejudices by his willingness to cooperate. He would have noth ing to lose by refusing to take a hand until March 4, and would be excused by the American peo ple for refusing to take anything from Hoover. Politics in the United States needs more men who are willing to discard per sonal animosities for the better ment of the whole in such times of crises. V.C.R. Rousseau Was Right A news item tells us : "How ;he aborigines of South Austra ia manage to live in lean times on next to nothing is to be in vestigated by an expedition sent out by the University of Ade laide. The secret of the econ omy of the natives near Mount Liebeg, 200 miles west of Alice Springs, will be thoroughly probed for the benefit of the whites." Professor J. B. Cle- land is leaving for the wilds, de termined, if it is the way they live and the food they consume that is the basis of their thrift, to let us profit by their experi ence. All this makes us, who are not very weli versed in these prob lems, wonder why with all our marvelous and vast political ma chinery, with our congressmen and senators, Hoovers and Roosevelts, interstate commerce commissions, and so forth, we have not yet found the perfect economy. But these things very likely are problems too intricate to understand. Doubtless, in condescending to visit our un civilized brethren, we shall do him great honor. Patronizing ly, we may muddle his brain with tales of our wonderful automobiles, radios, and rackets, our "covering up," "fixing," "muscling in,"- and other multi tudinous activities which our complicated government have made possible. In return for our wondrous tale and the gift of beads, glass, and trinkets, we may be , able to persuade Big . Chief Dynamo to tell us how he has learned to live so economically. After many many hours of sign language in which we might attempt to ex plain to Big Chief what unem ployment and a high tariff were, and how lucky he and his people are not to be pestered with prob lems of such dignity, after many hours so spent in vain, we should eventually have recourse to ask ing him by pointing to the mouth how we can keep from starving. This unusual problem would, no doubt, perplex Big Chief might ily at first. Still he would even tually solve this problem to his satisfaction, if not to ours, by pointing to the land, to the sky, and to our hands. He would then elucidate further by pro pelling his hand to his mouth, thus explaining the process of eating in its earlier stages. With this start certainly, we should have no trouble in finding at once that long lost road back to prosperity. We should then re turn to our country, still scorn ful, of course, of our crude, un cultivated, un-Christian, uncivil ized, and boorish fellow beings, but nevertheless convinced that Rousseau had the right idea. B.B.P. It All Depends Since the days when Alexan der The Great founded the city of Alexandria, and its famous university along with it, as a memorial to himself, state uni versities have been struggling j for existence. Since that time, the very fac tor which prompted the great conqueror to build an institu tion sponsored by the state the aim that it should be the mother of free and liberal thought has served as a check on the develop- of such schools. During the last half of the nineteenth century, despite the efforts of the demagogues, and all the other impedimenta on society, there was built up in this country a fine system of public institutions of higher learning, embracing every sec tion of the nation, and almost every state of the union. Behind the spirit which gave rise to these new developments, there lay a new concept of the duty of the state towards its citizens, and of their duty to ward their state. The state needed educated citizens; the citizens needed a chance to se cure an education, regardless of financial status. To provide ior these needs, a system of state universities, rivaling, and sur passing the oldest and richest of privately endowed institutions, both in the wealth of their equip ment, and the scope of their ac tivities, was founded. They were influenced by no creed but the determination to find the truth. Now, the very existence of these institutions is being threat ened as a result of the depres- sion. salaries nave Deen cut oe low the cost of decent living; building and the acquiring of new materials have been cur- rrmay, iNQYember 18, 193., tailed.

The young lady agrees with him She says: "They click with me, too. I'm not what you'd call a heavy smoker. But even I can tell that they're milder. Besides, I always have a kind of feeling that Chest erfields taste better." She's right. Chesterfields are just as pure and wholesome as Nature and Science can make them. And we have upwards of 90 mil lions of dollars invested to ensure their mildness and better taste. 1932, Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co.
