Among the doctrines of the Nazi way of life which Dr. Munk out lined in his talk was that of permanent war. Guild Theater To Produce Broadway Hit 'Berkley Square' Next on Schedule Of Drama Group By HUNTER VAN SICKLEN “Berkeley Square” by John L. Balderston will be presented by an entirely new cast of Guild Theater players under the direction of Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, head of the drama division November 28 and 29, and December 6 and 7. It was produced on Broadway after over a year’s run in London. Uses ‘Ingenious Fancy* J. W. Kruteh, reviewing for the Nation, November 20, 1929, says, “It leaves all major emotions far behind, and plays very agreeably with an ingenious fa,ncy. Every thing is done so easily, quietly, and with so little machinery that it is very convincing. One is perpetually dancing on eggs, but they never break, and the suspense, the sense of mystery never fails.” In between pro and con is Fran cis R. Bellamy who, writing for “Outlook,” declares, “In some ways ‘Berkeley Square’ is a remarkable play, but not completely unique. The idea upon which it is based is not new, and the author acknow ledges his debt to Henry James’ unfinished story ‘The Sense of the Past.’ Colonial Days “Yet, ‘Berkeley Square’ has many distinct points. Principal among them is the inexorable sense of fate which it achieves. When the hero, Peter Standish, arrives from America to live in the house of his ancestors, he becomes com pletely immersed in the old let ters and diaries. And he finds him self thrown back among them, knowing always what will take place next.” r.ssenuai docks Listed at Library A list of 95 books, which the l eaders of Pleasures of Publishing voted as essential to the political ly minded reader, is posted in the main office of the library.

' Most of their men were on lecture tours Throughout the United States. —J.W.S. .Nietzsche s Ideals Quoting' the German philosopher Nietzsche, upon whose concepts many of modern Germany’s prac tices are based, Dr. Munk said Germans believe “the cold-blooded murder is good for the conscience.” Permanent revolution, or a ten dency to be more radical, is another guiding doctrine in Hitler’s coun try, said the Czech. Class Distinction “Hitler is developing a society of rigid groups and castes,’’ Munk stated, bringing forth a third Ger man doctrine. Not only does the Nazi leader rate countries “superman,” “man,” or “underman,” according to their adoption of Nazi principles, but he rates the citizens of his country in such groups as leader group, polit ical underling group, and on down to the masses. Jewish Problem In order to keep the favor of the masses, he points out groups over which they have ascendency in the Nazi state. One of the groups which Hitler has picked to be the caste to look down on for the masses are the Jews. According to these three doc trines, said Dr. Munk, “As long as Naziism exists, there can be no peace, will be no peace, and should, according to the Nazis, be no peace, neither internationally nor nationally.” “The factor which will enable Germany to maintain its present importance as their concept of power being more power and not more money. They don’t know fi nancial exhaustion,” he declared. ‘Happiness of Illiteracy’ In education, Hitler, in an effort (Please turn to page (our) Tabard Inn Holds Talent Round-up Men need not be enrolled In writing courses, and they do not need to be majors in English or journalism, to enter manuscripts in the “campus talent round-up” be ing, sponsored by Tabard Inn, men’s writing honorary, Glenn Hassel rooth, president, said Wednesday.
