The man had been dead three hours, having committed sui cide by hanging. A couple of weeks ago Dr. Robert E. Cornish of Berkeley, California sought permission from the governors of Colorado, Nevada and Arizona to whisk executed criminals from the lethal chambers and at tempt to revive them. This permission was refused. Experimentation on human beings lias often been frowned upon in this country, but in Russia, where the individual is subordinated to the state, the governing body may do as it likes with the in dividual, as we have seen in the “eliminations” of anti-government elements, and as we sec in the case mentioned above. Why there should be any objection to an experi-, ment which apparently bears so heavily upon the future of humanity is hard to understand. Surely it would not be the first time human bodies had been used for medical experimentation. Dr. Cornish has been egaged in this work for several years, and has recently gained fame as the man who revived a dog after it had been killed with ether. His sincerity has been proven. The results al ready achieved prove his ability. It looks as though Russia had advanced a step ahead of the United States in this research. Science vs. Sentiment “Little Yellow Brother’' ESTERN nations should bo proud of their T ~ creation, across the Pacific- built, in their own image, too; no lumbering, poorly joined Eranken steinian bogy either, is Japan. 185t!: It was in July the cherry blossoms must have fallen, the slopes were green and alive, and the peasants, if one may dream, were blithely going about their labors that Commodore Matthew C. Perry reached Japan to bless the poor, backward heathens with the munitions, the labor-saving farm implements, and the fiery whiskey of our high civil ization. True that the Nipponese were not too eager to be blessed and that it took a grand show of force, but the Shogun was brought around. The Yankee clippers spread white wings across the blue Pacific, trim waists laden with rum and furs. Western civilization dumped its cornucopia, heaped its blessings unreservedly upon our yellow brothers. Pious men set out on missions to point out the ungodliness of ancestral and traditional wor ship, and to save the coming generations from the perdition that had fallen lot to their forebears. Honorable gentlemen, well-nigh overwhelmed at see ing the little men still using antique swords and crude powder pipes, blessed them with rifles and cannons. Medieval was industry, still dragging along in the handicraft stage; Japan was soon blessed with a western industrial set-up. The transformation was complete. 1934: “We’re not asking you, we're telling you. We demand recognition as a world power on an equal footing with Great Britain and the United States.” And we hear an echo of a policy we chose when we were glorying in our new found power. It mgiht actually have eben uttered as of Central and South American; “any further attempts to extend western domination in Asia will be regarded as unfriendly acts.” What have we here; not dear, quaint, little Ja pan ? My, my, and it seems like such a short time. Why, I can remember when you were—. The Passing Show America Falls Back ’C' NGLAND has built and launched the Queen Mary, a new, 73,000-ton ship which is now the monarch of the seas. France has started construc tion on a 79,000-ton giant to be known at the Nor mandie, Germany already has in commission her two champions, the Europa and the Bremen. Italy met the competition with two luxurious record breakers, the Rex and the Conte de Savoya. Meanwhile, America sits by and prduces a few puny river boats and sets them out on the high seas to go puffing and lurching along in the wake of the foreign monsters. This is far from meeting competi tion. The American populace canot be blamed for choosing foreign ships for their trip abroad when the choice lies between a speedy journey on a float ing palace and a tedious trip on a bobbling cattle boat. Let us put idle men and hoarded money to work building a merchant marine that will be worthy of a country with our many miles of coastline. Let us, too, build fine, great, seaworthy ships and carry our own passengers across the seas.—Southern Califor nia Daily Trojan. Education and the Burning Question f | 'HE question before the world today is socialism or individualism? Is it best for the economic and social good of mankind for the world to pursue a course in which the individual strives for personal achievement and gratification, leaving' his fellow men to take care of themselves as best they may, or should mankind so arrange itself that the common good is the main objective. We wonder, as do many other students. One important source of student information on the question comes from the faculty. The battle on this campus is waged energetically and brilliantly, but at the same time it adds to the ocnfusion con cerning the merits of the two isms. A student may go Lo his eight o’clock class and hear the Chicago Tribune lambasted, the individualistic system of profiteering roundly berated, and the New Deal praised to the high heavens. Whereupon he repairs to his nine o'clock class wondering why anybody could be other than an advocate of socialism, only to hear his nine o’clock professor state that the New Deal is a miserable failure, and that it is at tempting to erase the natural rights of man, and that he is happy and proud to be able to say that at least forty years of his life were spent in Amer ica as it should be. The student then stulks off past his ten o’clock class towards the Sweet Shop where noise and music will drown out the bewilderment within him. We went through the process described above in numerable times and finally reached the conclusion that the question depends on whether acquisitiveness (individualism) is a basic human instinct, or a sec ondary urge. Up until a few years ago, psychologists said that it was a human urge, but of late they de clare that there are only two instincts—sex and hunger. If it is then a secondary urge and not an instinct, it can be moulded by education. Those who ascribe to socialism tell us that one ol die outstanding merits of a socialistic system is that every individual will be able to obtain a sta tion in lite that will afford the most pleasure to him. There will be no more driving of people to work like beasts of burden. There will be a psychic in come from working at a job that a persons enjoys doing, thereby reducing the desire for economic in come. So far so good, but when we ask them who will perform certain undesirable tasks they tell us that, by training, society can obtain persons who will even enjoy collecting refuse. They say that one’s nose and the color of one's hair and eyes are def inite inherited traits which canot be changed, but vmrm- (pi ones jii< woik can do influenced. The question, then, descends squarely on the shoulders of education. When will education become so universal that it will physically be able to train every individual and detect the particular capabil ities of each and every person? How soon will the personnel of educational process decide ilml a so ciety which strives to promote the common good is superior to a system that places individual gains before anything else? To the grade schools, high schools, colleges and universities of the United Slates falls a very large part of the responsibility in determining whether this country will, and when it will, adopt socialism. 1'urdue tCxponent. "On the Bandwagon’’ By DICK WATKINS ^OMK new recordings out this k week include a line group by a newcomer to the field of making records, the Decca outfit, an Amer ican subsidiary of the British Dec ca company. E5y the looks of the list of talent they have lined up, they may soon be giving Victor. Columbia, and Brunswick a real j run for their money, for their rev-! ords are being put on the market! at less than hall the present regu lar price. Among the top-notehers that have signed up with them are BING CROSBY, GUY LOMBAR DO. TED LEWIS. MILLS BROS ., BOB CROSBY. ARTHUR TRACY, the CASTILIANS, and many oth er prominent artists. The policy of the Dceca is to make the qual ity of the recording itself, sell the record, rather than the popularity of the tune, and also to try to se lect the songs that are not just a "Hash in the pan," blit those that they expect will prove of a more permanent nature as well as those songs that are already so. For example. BING CROSBY S first, recordings tor Decca arc 'I Love You Truly,’ ’and “Just ArWearying for You,” both by CARRIE JACOBS BOND. Others by the same firm are two by TED LEWIS, “Tonight Is Mine" and “Two Cigarettes in the Dark." with GUY LOMBARDO making his debut with the tune-honored "Down by the Old Mill Stream” and "Love in Bloom.” The CAS TILIANS start off with “La Cu caracha." the Mexican cockroach song, the unique “Inca Tango." plus the ever popular “Carioea," and “Besame Tango.” » «. « Kor Bunswtek, RUTH JOTTING, accompanied by JIMMY GRIER'S baud, has made "Out m the Cold Aj,am. and “v. tut Aba at He. The Day’s Parade By PARKS HITCHCOCK Mr. Churchill Speaks Local Liquor' j^ONE too happy is Winston Churchill, former British chan cellor of the exchequer, well-known novelist, diplomat, and personality. Cause of Churchill’s melancholy: alleged re-armament of Nazi Ger many conducted secretly and speedily under the present regime. Says the former minister fn a speech to the constituents from his county: "A reign of terror exists in Germany in order to keep se cret the feverish and terrible prep arations they are making.” Paris Flings Accusations Churchill is not aJone in his charges, unfortunately. The Paris press i3 and has been for the last year full of vitriolic denunciations of Berlin's “preparations for a war of aggression.” To the unpre judiced bystander the “war of ag gression” feeling may be discount ed considerably because of the ob vious and traditional partiality of the French press. However, the presence of an increasingly hos tile situation along the Rhine can not be ignored. The Saar Problem To add to the crucial nature of the Franco-German contretemps, j the Saar basin will hold a plebis-! cite next January, under which | three possible alternatives will be j put up to the populace of the little coal-mining region now under the dominance of the League of Na tions. They are: to accept Ger man sovereignity, to join France, or to remain under the protection of the league. A German Victory All available information points to a German victory in the vote next January; the people of the Saar will probably choose to affil iate themselves with a nation of closer racial kinship, and one whose program is definitely and strongly nationalistic than one whose policy is in the hands of rational yet vulgarly unpopular Fabianists. In addition to other charges, the French press alleges Ihe German government is planning a putsch to take the Saar by force. In the opinion of the American bystand er, this allegation is probably un founded; Germany is far too poli tic to risk, and far too unprepared to bear, the international displeas ure which would result from the Reichstag seizing by force a plum that will in all probability drop into her lap within the next few months. « « * rpHE local vote upon the liquor problem will be an interesting study in psychology. Voters will in all probability face many sim ilar attempts by the incorrigible dry forces to restore the prohibi tion plan or sections of its major features in the next few years. Local Taper Speaks The recommendation of the Eu gene Register Guard is of course the sensible line of action. Judging from the length of time that it took the ultimate truth concern ing the possibility of legislating out human tastes to reach the gen eral public, it is hoped that these truths will remain in their heads for some time. Prohibition will never return, and any attempt to make this county a dry spot in a wet state will precipitate a horde of executive duties that would flood the enforcement powers, and eventually the people at large with a plenitude of trouble. Neverthe less, it will be interesting to see how many people will refuse to act along the line of reason. with DICK POWELL doing; two good ones from his latest picture, •‘Happiness Ahead," (the title song), and "Pop! Goes My Heart."! JOLLY COBURN'S orchestra, a comparatively new outfit, which ; is making a big hit in the East ! this season, makes his first rec ■ ord under Victor’s banner with “The Continental" and "Irresist-1 ible.” The Rockefellers are re sponsible for putting COBURN, on the map for they have given! him a flying start up the well-i known ladder by moving him into the Rainbow room atop the C5th, floor of the RCA building in Rocke feller Center (Radio City).

DUNN W/E knew we were getting along ” in years since our first gradu ation, yet nothing so convinced us of our increasing age as the com plete deletion of 1878. Stars are by now pretty well sprinkled down the alumnal list, but all of the class of ’78 now form a distinct constel lation of their own. Two of our Pleiades were very early dimmed and lost to us, hav ing survived their graduation but ten years. Dr. John C. Whiteaker, son of Oregon’s first state gover nor, following his course in the school of medicine in Salem and his service as interne in the hospi tals of Portland, had been estab lished but a short time in Cottage Grove when the collapse came which ended his life at the family home in Eugene. George S. Washburne, eldest son of one of our greatest pioneer promotors, was lauded as Oregon's most brilliant product. It was ex pected of this flashing young at torney that he would be at the helm, whether gubernatorial or congressional, no matter which or what. His death in 1888 curtailed an ambitious career and was deep ly lamented. Matthew S. Wallis, or "Sneede” as every one knew him, was also a,genius mentally, but permitted a disappointing indisposition to de prive Khim of initiative. He too would have climbed high, but died in relative obscurity. His was a most kindly, genial temperament, which made him highly appreciat ed fraternally. The death of these three left as survivors of the class a brother and sister-in-law, Judge Robert S. Bean having married • Miss Ina Condon, sister of his classmate, Mrs, Ellen Condon - McCornack. The two families have been elo quently represented in subsequent cycles of the student body, count ing in their number some of our most eminent alumni. Robert Bean was a man of ex treme modesty, which did not avail to conceal from his fellows the possession of fine abilities. The long range of high judicial posi tions and the presidency of the Board of Regents which he re tained until dispossessed by the law empanneling the State Board of Higher Education, testify to the superiority which all accorded him who knew him. Yet juridical robes never robbed him of a most comfortable geniality which he evi denced to every one. Mrs. Ellen Condon-McCornack, widow. of Dr. Herbert F. McCor nack, was like daughter to her peerless father, one of the splendid family Dr. Thomas Condon had brought with him to the Univer sity. After his death, Mrs. McCor nack carried on the great work of tabulating and cataloging the Con don collection of geologic speci mens and fossils, and published the memoirs of her father. George Washburne's oration at commencement had been entitled ‘•Pioneering.” All five of ’78 now have their niches in our Pantheon of Pioneers. The next issue will contain "There Was an Old Miller.” CRITIQUE By GEORGE ROOT Today: English Journey by J. B. Priest ly (reviewed by Robert Lucas." Rameses to Rockefeller by C. H. Whitaker (reviewed by W. R. B. Willcox). Appointment in Samarra by John O'Hara. rJ,HREE books today: Priestly's reflection about a particular wandering; a review of a "fresh and surprising interpretation of the history of architecture," sub mitted by Mr, Willcox; and an other fall novel which is in its third printing at the present time. A BOUT J. B. PRIESTLY'S head. there bursts, from time to time, bombshells of criticisms fol lowed by equally sharp statements of refutation and praise. His latest book ENGLISH JOURNEY, which was the third best seller iu September, cleverly side-steps the rush of those whc? would criticize his novels. In Priestly's own words-^'.'It is a ram bling but truthful account of what one man saw and heard and felt j and thought during a journey through England during the au-, turan of the year 1933.” The book oscillates between. dullness and brilliance. The au-. thor'.# various, reactions to such, place* a. tbs Midlands and, tits North—Birmingham, the Black Country, Lancaster, New Castle, Stoke-on-Trent, present a sem blance of art. They recreate to some measure an experience or feeling of the reader. Some of the candid opinions are spontaneous and witty. Other expressions in the book are puffed and verbose. They are made clumsy by the weight of their own details. "ENGLISH JOURNEY" will be of value to people who are sensi tive to the obscure in human na ture. It is a presentation of Eng lish atmosphere that is unconven tional and attractive. —ROBERT LUCAS. i 'HARLES HARRIS WHITA KER. editor of the Journal of the American Institute of Archi fn3 frQ fKJ fnJ IK) fnJ (nl fRJ K fnl Fn3 fit] fnJ (ill fnl fn3 (H3 fn3 fnl fnJ fn3 Ftj fr tects, during' its 15 years of dis tinguished publication, is author of a Story of Architecture, RA meses to rockefeller, which gives life and significance to the history of building such, as, perhaps, no previous account of it has done. A handsome book, beautifully printed and illustrated—many of the illustrations reproduced from photographs by the author,—it is a fitting garment for the author’s graceful, yet forceful, style, which, without fatigue, sweeps the read ers across the centuries of the Builder s Art—centuries of pre historic beginnings, of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, of the Byzan tine, Romanesque, and Gothic pe riods, and of that which, beginning with the Renaissance, continues to this day. Touching but lightly upon points of customary historic interest, dates and descriptive details, the author, with the masterpieces of architecture as a measure, plats the course of empire-building, and the unconscious contribution of craftsmen of every age to that unfortunate and never permanent ly successful enterprise. Whitaker’s chapters will be read with lively and thoughtful atten tion bjr those who find pleasure in the great works of architecture, in the skill of craftsmen, and in spec ulations dealing with the conse quences of the strange contradic tions and befuddlements of human experience.

JOHN O'HARA, the writer of short sto ries in New Yorker, Harper's Ba zaar and Scribners, takes the title for this first-novel of his from a story of Somerset Maugham’s, and writes an erratic sequence that reads, in places, like a Winchell broadcast shot with idiomatic “slanguage," very realistically i American. The main character, Julian English, governs the theme through his influence on everyone else and everyone elses' influence \ on him— though mostly the former. ; The time element is carried along. by mention of popular songs and economic difficulties current at1 the time of these “cultivated, free" citizens of the intellectually up-; perelass whose domestic and social patterns regulate the values, if any, in their lives. The character of Caroline, English’s wife, is one of the two fine characterizations (Please turn to page 4) ) 173 fH2 (rO fn] fn3 Im [73 fn3 fH) lal IS (S3 fn3 fS) In3 fnJ 173 fn) fr3 fn] fn] fnJ f?1 FOR CITY RECORDER _Vote: 60 X R.

Paid Advertisement Some of This Stuff Is PURE QUILL By JIMMY MORRISON THIRST read Barney Clark's thrill ing story of how Tom Tongue met his Waterloo. Now go on with the story. Tom was attired in a delightful old fashioned nightshirt. One of the Gamma Phis put a flashy green bath robe on him, but he re fused to wear it. We would have given a pretty penny to have taken a flashlight picture of him els he streaked across the campus on his way home, nightshirt flying in the breeze. Several similar incidents like that which make college “keen” occurred. The Phi Sigs took Tony Moore, mattress and all, to the A. D. Pi house and rang the bell. They took a couple of flashlight photos as the girls came on the scene, and the girls, apparently frightened, ran back upstairs, so the boys dumped Tony in the front hall and waited (outside) for some thing to happen. Soon the girls came stealthily down stairs and were horrified to find a man in their house. The man could scarcely wiggle a finger, however. He was ad dressed to Maxine Vogt, on whom he has planted his pin. They tossed him out on the porch. “Don’t drop him,” said Max. The girls told the boys later by telephone that they were going to take Tony up on their sleeping porch. The Phi Sigs protested against this mental cruelty, so Max untied the lad and he went stag gering home with his bed on his shoulders. Dick Knight, Phi Sig freshman, was soon deposited in the same manner on the Alpha Chi front porch, but he squirmed out of the knots and fled for home. Marge Roberts and some of the girls were going to throw a scare into him by taking him into the house for a while, but he was gone when they went to the door. Two Phi Delt freshmen roaming the streets on a walkout are suspected of aid ing in Dick’s escape. The Fijis were whooping it up as usual. They took some guy up (Phase turn to page 4) CLASSIFIED AND SWAPS r \ THE SUN 3 may not always shine. But make the most of it! ADVERTISE IN CLASSIFIED Rates?
