Y.M.CA. CABINETS
START PROGRAMS
ON CRIMINOLOGY
Dr. Lee M. Brooks and Francis
F. Fairley Lead Discussions
To Inaugurate Series.
TOPIC: "WHAT IS, CRIME"
The sophomore- and junior
senior Y.M.CA. cabinets opened
the series of winter quarter pro
grams on "Crime and Social Dis
organization" last night;- at the
regular weekly meetings of the
organizations.
Dr. Lee M. Brooks of the so
ciology department addressed
the sophomore group on "What
is Grime and Theories of Pun
ishment," and Francis Fairley,
University junior, spoke to the
M
junior-senior organization on
"What is Crime and Who is the
Criminal."
Punishments
Dr. Brooks surveyed for the
second-year group the history of
crime, traced methods proposed
to cure law-breaking, and pro
posed ways to ameliorate pres
ent conditions. .'
"We need certainty of punish
ment, not severity," the sociolo
xy professor said, discussing
theories of punishment. Point
ing out that only , three out of
100 persons in the United States
who commit a felony ever get
-punished, Dr. Brooks stressed
the need of more efficient agen
cies in society to bring criminals
to justice.
"We need to place emphasis on
the preventative end this is the
secret of the control of our
crime problem," the speaker
said.
"Today in the United States
we put the major emphasis on
pain and the minor stress on re
construction," the sociology pro
fessor stated, showing that dis
ciplining of criminals is much
more effective than punishing
them.

SAAR CONDITIONS
Tells Friendship Council That
Province Will Undoubted-

ation of the Saar basin," stated
Professor Kr C. Frazer of the
history department when he dis
cussed the Saar plebiscite last
night before the meeting of the
rresimiail xrieilUSinp VOUIICU.
"It was formerly a part of
Germany," he continued, "and
the major part of its population
is German. The action which
the people of the Saar will un-
douttedly take is parallel to the
stana xaKen Dy xne mnauiiaiiLs
of Alsace-Lorraine."
Gives Background
... Professor Frazer gave a clear
description of the Saar. Basin
and explained the, background
and forces which led to the pres-
ent vote. -There exists .in the
Saar an', economic unity which
is separated literally by nation-
al boundaries," continued the
sneaker.
"Foreign armies have march
ed into German" territory for the
first time since 1918 to control
a situation which directly bears
on the peace of the world. The
result will be a triumph of inter-
national administration which
we have not seen since the
World War.
Hitler Will Behave

, Professor Jb razer concluded his
talk: "Germany is so thoroughly
obligated to control properly the

Sanction of Faculty
Said to Be Assured
Proposed Study Plan Will Equal
ize Language Preparation of
University Entrants.
NO WORK WITHOUT CREDIT
Meeting Saturday, the adviso
ry council approved a foreign
language curriculum for the
University whereby every stu
dent with adequate preparation
for college language work who
must fulfill a language require
ment will take one foreign lan
guage three hours a week for
two years.
For those students whose
placement tests show that they
are not prepared td do college
anguage work a six-hour course
during the first year has been
planned.
To Equalize Preparation
The six-hour course is de
signed to put students taking it.
on equal footing at the begin
ning of .the second year with
those who, because of superior
high or preparatory school train-
mg, were eligioie tor the three
hour course during the fresh
man year. ' "
Subject to the approval, al
most certain to be forthcoming,
of the faculty, the new curric
ulum will go into effect in the
fall quarter of this year.
Heretofore students who have
not shown preparedness for col
lege work in their placement
tests had to teke one; or, two
courses without credit in order
to make up their deficiencies; By
the new plan, these students will
do twice as much work the first
year but will not lose one or two
quarters in catching up with
their better-prepared classmates.
The new foreign language
curriculum is the first to be pre
sented to the advisory council.
Other departments are working -on
their revised curricula now.
