Huf chins And Maroon
In view of the recent ouster of the editor of the Chicago
Maroon by the dean of students at Chicago University, it is
interesting to review some of the words of Robert M. Hut
chins, ex-chancellor of that institution, on the topic "guilt-by-association."
Mr. Hutchins spoke when he was subpoenaed by the sediti
on activities committee of the state legislature.
"It would not be in the public interest to exclude students
of communistic leanings. If we did, how would they ever
learn "better?" .'
"The university does not subscribe to the doctrine of
guilt by 'association. The university does not believe that
an individual should be -penalized for actions other than his
own. The university believes if a man is to be punished, he is
to' be punished for what he does, and not for what he belongs
to."
So said Mr. Hutchins 2 years ago.
Apparently it was Mr. Hutchins, rather than the Univer
sity, whv did or did not believe in those things. Now that
he. has left the university, that institution appears to have
adopted the doctrine of guilt by association.

;fflciency?
One of the reasons ,for the
gross inefficiency in our gov
ernment is the salary paid gov-
ernment employees. Don't flinch."
I'm not referring to the- typist
and stenographer who rake in
more than bricklayers when
they're on Uncle Sam's payroll.
I'm talking about the big boys
who execute high tension jobs
requiring a lot of integrity; pa
tience and all the other requis
ites foxr a. successful business
exec.
In the first lace the cost of
living in Washington is higher
than anywhere else. In the sec
ond place you can't expect good
results if you don't pay the
cause. '
Sylvia Porter who has appar
ently done a great deal of rea
search on the subject, gives a
lot of horror stories to prove her
point, in the January "Cosmo
politan". She calls the article
How To Put Brains In Gov
ernment'. The point of the whole
this is just this. "If our govern
ment were to be managed by
the best talent the country has
to offer, billions ,of dollars would
be aved. This is no half-baked
plea for paying more money to
more people for less work! If
America had a real career serv
ing that attracted our most cap
able young men and; women, not '
only would billions; of our tax ;
money ba saved, but the bil
lions spent would also bring us
far greater rewards."
Harold D. Smith who, as Dir
ector, of; ! the! Budget was a
''right-hand j j man s to President
Roosevelt? and to President Tni-
man, illustrates the problem'.
Smith was making $10,000 a
year. He quit in 1946, to take up
a job paying $22,000. He had a
wife and 3 children. The ten
thousand was no streetcleaners
salary but look at the job. Most
people wouldn't balance a city's
budget for that, much less, the
whole nations budget.
Then there was the St. Louis
lawyer, Clark Clifford, who af
ter raises, was making $20,000
as Trurnans trusted adviser and
speech writer. He quit, too. Now,
he's in St. Louis probably mak
ing more than $100,000. There
are plenty of similar cases.
The, efficient ones scram as
soon as they can because they
aren't making enough. That
leaves the lousy quacks to run
the works. Sylvia Porter may be
giving a public propaganda
speel, or she may be right. At
any rate, there's something
drawing the good men out of
government. Money sounds like
a good enough reason.
On -Campus
Arthur G. Phillips, associate
professor pf English at the Uni
versity of Miami, recently wrote
a guest editorial for the Miami
Hurricane, in which he made the
following observations about the
species Freshman and Sopho
more: 1. Freshmen .believe that all of
their professors are smart;
Sophomores believe that one or
two of their, professors are smart
the ones that give them A's.
2. Freshmen are in college to"
get an education; sophomores
are in college because their
fathers refuse to pay their fare
to Las Vegas.
3. Freshmen aren't dry behind
the ears; sophomores are always
dry.
4. A freshman will take a
wooden "nickel; a sophomore will
take a wooden nickel too, and
five minutes later put it in the
slot machine.
5. Freshmen write home once
a week; sophomores write when
ever they're broke.
6. A male freshman is look
ing for a girl like his mother;
this is also true of the, sopho
more, if his mother happens to
be Jane Russell.
7. A Freshman believes the
way to get good grades is to
study hard; the sopbhomore has
decided that a better way is to
sit next to someone who, studies
hard.
8. A freshman's ambition is to
get into "Who's Who;" a sopho
more just wants to get called
before the Kefauver committee.
9. Freshmen suspect that pro
fessors aren't human; sopho
mores know it.
10. Freshmen kiss their dates
goodbye; sophomores kiss them
hello.
University of Virginia
Winston Churchill, the victor
ious Tory leader, got a boost
from an unexpected source, the
University. Eight first-year
students sent the Prime Minis
ter a telegram of congratulations
at a cost of five dollars and sixty
cents and marked it "personal"
so that Churchill might actually
read it himself.
University of Minnesota
Minnesota's Scandinavians
still may have s hopes of laying
claim to Minnefeoa by virtue of
discovery as wjell as by settle
ment. -
This 'opinion of Alf Eidaas,
Norwegian in itructor in the
University's Scandinavian de
partment, represents one side of
a controversy which started in
1898 when a Kensington, Minn.,
farmer dug up a 202-pound en
graved chunk of rock now
known as the Kensington rune
by flcllo Taylor
amssss
In 1948 a national magazine
printed an article on weather
cycles. Not a very eye-catching
affair by any means but most
informative on the finer points.
) -;
It seems that some fella
started connecting wars, when
and to what degree, with the
weather. The way this guy had
it figured was that in warm
years man just naturally liked
to go out and cut down his
neighbor. During the cooler
periods, however, he stayed at
home and wrote letters of apo
logy to the same.
That figures even without the
cycle of weather. Take a look
at the northern countries Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark.
Up there they; are : peaceable
folks that take baths in the
snow. But in the lower latitudes,
South America for instance, re
volution breaks every morning
just like the dawn.
Well, this article goes on to
say that the biggest and most
deadly wars had come when old
mother Earth was . basking in
warm weather. Remember
grandpa telling you that, we
shoulda seen the winter 6f '63?
He wasn't kidding, the winters
were harder during those years,
and the world was generally at
peace.
But to get down to the finer
points, this article said that
warm and cold weather followed
each other in a definite, well
planned cycle,' and that if wo
projected that cycle into the
future we could have a, dam
good guess as to when the next
war would break out. Sounded
like a lot of hog wash way back
in 1948.
Way back in 1948- this article
predicted that the next possible
chance for a conflict would be in.
the early part of 1950. "Just
possible" he said. "It may not
happen at all but there is a
money-back guarantee that we
will go into a world-wide,
whing ding war in 1953." That
was way, way, back in 1948.
Then in the middle of 1950
came Korea. Just a ' little war
but a war anyway and lots of
guys won't know the difference.
To them it was as big as they
come.
Ahah, our friend with his
weather was wrong. The war
didn't come in the early part
of 1950 like he said. Man, he
missed it all of 60 days. As for
us, we are making book on war
by the middle of '53.
So, unless mama Earth com
pletely outdoes herself and
breaks an 100 million year-old
tradition, we may as well head
for the recruiting sergeant im
mediately after diploma day
and sign up for branch where
we can "learn as we serve.
