Fred RippyEx-I’resident Benes of Czechoslo¬vakia may be right in believing thatAmerica is the last stronghold ofdemocracy and freedom, but acrosstwo-thirds the area of the Americasthe characteristic form of govern¬ment for more than a century hasbeen dictatorship. And today, ac¬cording to J. Fred Rij>py, professorof American History, 10 of the 20Hispanic-American countries stillhave such a government.Rippy is engaged in a study of 50dictators since 1820, representingevery Latin-American country. Hehas already spent about three yearson it and believes it will take himeight to ten more. The best sourcematerial for the study consists ofdiplomatic reports which are nowin the archives of Washington. Lon¬don and Paris.♦ ♦ ♦dictators have been common inHispanic-America because the peo¬ple have been uneducated and inex¬perienced in democratic processes.Hippy found that the degrees of ac¬tual democracy in the different coun¬tries were roughly correlated withthe education and racial make-up ofthe populations.

Although the gradual im¬provement of education has had<ome influence in this direction, itha.s been offset, until the last yearor two, by the effects of the depres¬sion and European dictatorship ideo¬logies. Paraguay and Bolivia estab¬lished dictators under the influenceof these ideologies for a short time,but the.se have disappeared.At present, however, the Europeandictators are influencing these coun¬tries in the opposite direction. “Ithink nationalism will smother thetotalitarian sentiment among smallnations,” Rippy declared. Many ofthe latter have been frightened bythe aggressive attitude of the Euro¬pean dictators, and are beginning tofear for their national security.• • •Eurof)can dictators Rippy charac¬terized as being demagogic and mili¬taristic; Latin-American dictators,as being feudal and militaristic. Thelatter get their support from thewealthy. In the past, they haven’thad well-equipped armies, but thisi" being rapidly changed. Hereafter,practically the only way to over¬throw such a government will he towin over part of the army, since theorganizing and fitting out withiiKKlern equipment of a new’ armyA ill be prohibitively expensive.One characteristic of all these dic¬tators is that invariably they workedthrough nominally democratic formsof government. Most of them werepresidents for life and some evennamed their successors. They werefond of medals, uniforms, ribbonsam! titles such as “His Most SereneHighness” (Santa Anna, Mexico);and "Illustrious American” (GuzmanBalanco, Venezuela). About ten percent were assassinated, many wereexiled and most of them died rich.I’rofe.ssor Rippy divides them intotwo broad groups, those who wereconstructive and those who merelywanted to stay in power. The formerattempted u.sually to improve educa¬tion, sanitation, transportation and•sometimes working conditions.* * *By 1825 all the Latin-Americancountries had won their independencefrom Spain and Portugal, and dic¬tators—most of whom had originallybeen liberators—uniformly succeededthe viceroys. Chile, in 1837, was thefirst nation to become democraticand it was not until 1870 that anoth¬er country, Argentina, followed suit.For the next 60 years there was agradual tendency toward democracyon the two continents, a tendency thatwas sharply reversed about the be¬ginning of the last depression.

RoMnheim By ROBERT SEDLAKThe story of how the Negro hasbuilt a city within a city, parallel yetseparated by social taboo, is slowlybeing revealed in a Chicago WPAproject conducted by Horace R; Cay-ton, W. Lloyd Warner and graduatestudents in the department of An¬thropology.“The Negro has developed a cul¬tural life of his own, especially with¬in the last 20 years,” declared schol¬arly Cayton, who directs the projectat the Good Shepherd Church in theNegro district. “His economic life istied up with that of the white man.Otherwise to a large extent his life re¬volves in a plane of his own making,similar to that of the white, but on alower economic level.”Many Enter Professions Here“The Chicago Negro feels superiorto the Southern Negro. His educationand standard of living are better. Soare his wages. Many more have en¬tered the professions here than in theSouth. And the need for professionalmen will increase when the economicconditions of the race are better.”The study, begun in 1936, will re¬quire about two and one-half yearsmore. It is one of the most exhaus¬tive ever to be undertaken by socialanthropologists in an effort to studysatisfactorily the Negro, his com¬munity, and his relations with thewhites.“Despite a i-elative advance in hiseconomic status, the Negro in Chi¬cago is living under tremendous diffi¬culties which affect his attitude to¬ward himself and toward the whites,”the investigator stated.Unemployment hits the Negro dis¬proportionately. He generally is thefirst to be laid off, the last to be re¬hired because his work is generallyunskilled, his seniority rights areleast, and his work for the most partis non-unionized."The results of all this are incal¬culable,” Cayton declared emphatical¬ly.” Morale is shattered. Crime in¬creases. Marriage rates fall. Y’oungwomen are forced into vice.Population Increases“Housing is an equally importantand related problem. In 1900 therewere only 30,160 Negroes in Chicago.In 1934 the Negro population herewas 236,306. Yet living conditions j have become increasingly worse.”The Black belt extends from Cer-mak road south to 63rd street. Northto 39th street the houses are at thedeterioration level and are not beingrepaired by the white owners who in¬cidentally control 90 per cent of BlackBelt property.“The Negro who wants to live de¬cently tries to live south of 39thstreet,” Cayton said. “The area shouldcontain only 140,000 people. Thepopulation there today is 190,000.Many families live together in one-room apartments, children andadults all sleeping together. And ab¬sentee landlords are continually rais¬ing rents because there is no otherplace to go.Brothels Replace Home-Life“Many times families are turnedout to make place for brothels, pa¬tronized mostly by whites, which canafford to pay higher rents. And, of¬tentimes, decent people are compelledbecause of the shortage, to live inthe same building.“Poor health is rampant among theNegroes,” Cayton declared. “To everyone white man stricken by tubercu¬losis there are five blacks. This is dueto overcramped, unsanitary housingand poverty.”Contrary to popular opinion, ac¬cording to Cayton, Negro populationis not increasing. The biggest social event of the Au¬tumn Quarter will be held this eve¬ning when over 450 couples attend theannual formal Interfratemity Ball inthe Gold Room of the Congress hotel.The dance will last from 10 to 2. John¬ny Hamp and his orchestra will fur¬nish the dance music, and will alsoput on a few of their noted specialtyacts.Those attending the Ball will havethe exclusive use of the Casino Bar,and the other arrangements will bemuch superior to those of last year’sBall, the Interfratemity Committeeannounced yesterday. The checkingfacilities will be more adequate, theentrance to the ballroom will be lesscrowded, and there will be five dif¬ferent lounges easily accessible.Announce Winner of BidThe Cap and Gown will announcethe winning freshman in its subscrip¬tion contest at noon today. The prizeis a bid to the Ball and $5 expensemoney.The Grand March will be led byHart Perry and Laura Bergquist,Roger Nielsen and Persis JanePeeples, and Bob Jones and Clemen¬tine Van der Schaegh. The introduc¬tion of a third couple has made itnecessary for Miss Kidwell of IdaNoyes to evolve a new and fairlycomplicated marching system whichwill be rehearsed by the leaders thisnoon.A list of patrons and patronessesof the Ball includes Mr. and Mrs.Harvey Carr, Mr. and Mrs. Waltcr-Hebert, Mr. William B.

However thisyear he is planning to spend his timeenjoying himself, and so has sched¬ule no lectures.He arrived in this country on thefirst of this month and has been inthe vicinity of Chicago for about tendays. He leaves Chicago tomorrowto continue his tour. Season tickets for the Winter Quar¬ter International House Foreign Mo¬tion Picture Program are now beingoffered by C. Sharpless Hickman, thisyear’s manager of the series. Thecards provide for six matinees at$1.50, which gives a saving of 60 centsapiece, or for six evening -perform¬ances at $2. Single evening admis¬sions are regularly 50 cents.As International House has no en¬dowed income, its services and activi¬ties must be self-sustaining. In thepast, and again this quarter, the filmprogram has presented to Universitystudents and residents of the southChicago area many new foreign pro¬ductions, several of them makingtheir premier Midwest showings atthe House.Greater Cost IncurredTo present these pictures, ratherthan revivals or older foreign movies,has meant a much greater cost in filmrentals, and the necessity of meetingcensorship requirements adds much tothe costs of each new program. Theaverage new picture costs from 100to 300 dollars, as against 15 or 25dollars for old films. If the House isto continue showing outstanding andnew productions, rather than medi¬ocre ones, it will be necessary to havea minimum guaranteed attendance onwhich an efficiently operating budgetcan be based. For this reason, theidea of a season ticket has been in¬augurated.Tickets may be obtained at the In¬formation Desk in InternationalHouse, or at the Information office.They will also be sold at all sub¬sequent film showings this quarter.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON.

Football has a specialgroup of defenders, a separateset of folkways, a separatepriesthood. Expert propagandahas woven the football complexso firmly into the higher edu¬cational set-up that the need forintercollegiate competition inthe pigskin sport has taken itsrank with our most hideboundsuperstitions.Football is not by any inborngrace the sacred cow that it has-become. Its sanctity grows outof the singular money-makingpowers of the game. The conse¬quent clamor for bigger gatesand better teams has deludedeyen the players. They are sodazzled by the halo that sur¬rounds their chosen sport thatthey cannot see that no otherathletic event demands so muchof the player, or quite so fullyincapacitates him for living nor¬mally and studying normally. Itis impossible for us, requiringmembers of our teams to carrvon the ordinary life of a Univer¬sity undergraduate, to expectteams able to compete in big-time football on the nresentbasis of intercollegiate comneti-tion.The trend apparent all overthe country is not towards a de¬crease in subsidization, but anincrease in honesty. Universitiesare not willing to give up thegood money maker they havenurtured, but the.v are beingforced b^ public oninion to treatit fairly as a money maker.Open subsidization is becomingthe rule;—since spectators havefinally caught on to their littlegame universities no longertrouble to proclaim innocence.i\nd student sentiment at theootball schools is coming outmore and more stronglv in fa¬vor of payment of athletes infair proportion to the returnthey bring the school. In thisnew situation the amateur uni¬versity will be completely out ofplace.Openly subsidized profession¬alism in colleges will lead inevit¬ably to the comnlete divorce ofthe football teams from the edu¬cational departments. Bv thattime the legitimate studentswho ju.st like to nlay the gamewill be forming intramural andall-universitv teams of tV'pirown, and will be willing to meetthe University’s amateur teamson their own ground.Because the University re¬fuses to enter the race towardsprofessionalism and profits wecan reach the goal of amateurathletics for the best interestsof the students v^ars ahead of the other schools. There is noreason why we should dragalong with them when we canstep ahead and be waiting whenthey are once more ready to re¬join us.Letters to theEditorBoard of Control,The Daily Maroon:I hope I’m not reviving a war thatwas ended in the last meeting of thePolitical Union Executive Board, butsince Lloyd James tried to make thewhole thing a personal issue, it issomebody’s job to point out that hisarticle in yesterday’s Maroon wasabout as accurate as the Tribune’sWPA survey.Fritz was never personally in¬debted to the Maroon. Last fall theMaroon enthusiastically acceptedFritz’s plans for organizing the Polit¬ical Union as a Maroon activity, andMcNeill admitted in the presence ofthe PU board that one element wasthe prospect of favorable publicity.Naturally there were expenses, andwhen the project was completed, Fritz,as he had promised, pi'esented thenew-born child with a bill for the costof its delivery. The Union, led by theRadical officers, balked. Fritz upheldthe Maroon until the end but wascontinually overruled by the boarduntil the last meeting, when a com¬promise was reached. The Maroonwon its battle, and since then the PUboard, in accordance with its agree¬ment last spring, has indicated unani¬mous support for Fritz’s efforts tocollect.As for the charge that the Maroonsaid that Fritz was the only onewhom the Political Union had doneany good, we quote the article in lastyear’s Cap and Gown written by Ma¬roon editor McNeill himself: ‘ThePolitical Union promises to be themost important permanent mark lefton the activities front by the Maroon |of 1937-38.”Secondly, Fritz did not suggest theNazi meeting nor the idea of chargingadmission. It all popped up quite in¬formally in a board meeting, and noopposition was heard until thepogroms started several days later.Finally, Fritz did not object toturning the funds over to the refugeecommittee. He objected to bringingup the proposal in the Political Unionmeeting before the Nazi speech, in¬stead of after—not out of regard forthe speaker’s feelings, but because ofthe obvious fact that the Nazi wouldnot speak if he knew of such a stipu¬lation. The message from the Deanwas not a surprise in view of thefact that we had already received asimilar message.Henry Luccock.Board of Control,The Daily Maroon:Please publish the following cor¬rection of certain statements appear¬ing in your issue of November 22under the caption, “ASU Pays Debtto Int House.”You state,“The ASU accepted the (Chi¬cago Repertory) Group’s requestand after the show had been heldfound that the House asked for$86.50 to pay for rental of thetheatre.”The facts are these.

At the last Chilean election, theincumbent president was defeated.The head of the present Mexicangovernment, Lazaro Cardenas, is aconstructive dictator, according toRippy. He has done much for educa¬tion and sanitation and has putthrough many land reforms. However,he may be moving too fa.st for for¬eigners and conservatives. Cardenaswill be able to name his successor,.but he is not a complete dictator,having executed and exiled few per¬sons and allowing complete freedomof press. His power is based on labororganizations, a one-party systemand a peasant militia, as well as onthe army. He is an Indian, as mostof the dictators have been.SEYMOUR MILLER.this year, applications were made forthe use of the International House as¬sembly hall and stage by the ASU forMarch 18, 19, and 20 for the purposeof the presentation of plays by theChicago Repertory Group.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1938 Page ThreeToday'sRoundtableBy RICHARD MASSELLToday the mythical roundtable dis¬cusses revolution and brings togetherH Jeffersonian liberal, a communist,and a Trotskyite, Marshall MasonKnappen, associate professor of Eng¬lish History, Jim Peterson, presidentof the communist club, and IsaacRosenfeld, president of the SocialistClub (4th International). Appropriateto the introduction is a quotation byAbraham Lincoln “Any people any¬where being inclined and having thepower, have the right to rise up andshake off the existing government andform * new one that suits them bet¬ter.” Question for discussion “When,if ever, is revolution justified?”* * *marshall KNAPPEN: When¬ever in the opinion of a majority ofthe people, any form of governmentbecomes destructive of the principlethat all men are endowed with equalrights to life, liberty, and the pur¬suit of happiness, it is the right ofthat majority to alter or abolish it.Prudence, however, will dictate thatpoveimment should not be changed forlight or transient causes. Where thesame ends can be achieved by peace¬ful means, there is no justificationfor resorting to violence.m * *JIM PETERSON: Communists be¬lieve that a revolution is justifiedwhen the majority of people fail toreceive equal rights and when theyare denied the right of life, liberty,and the pursuit of happiness. As themajority of peoples under capitalismbfH'ome increasingly aware that theclass system and the archaic economyof capitalism denies them these rights,they will strive to change the sys¬tem. .^s a majority their desire tochange the system is essentiallydemocratic, and in certain cases seeksto make the change through the ex-i.stmg democratic forms. The violenceof revolutions viewed historically isprecipitated by those who would pre-.verve their class interests at allcost.*. Witness the emigre armies ofthe French Revolution, the imperialist.sub.<!idization of counter revolutionand actual intervention, and the strug¬gles of ruling class fascism in Spain.Revolution as distinguished fromrevolutionary coup d’etats and fascistput.sches is essentially democratic,« * *ISAAC ROSENFELD: I think theproletariat revolution is justified whencapitalism can no longer satisfy thebasic needs of the people, when cap¬italism which is a form of societybased on exploitation of the massesallows an ever growing army of per¬petually starving and unemployed,resorts to war to protect its invest¬ments and fascism looms forth as alast forsaken effort to retain thestranglehold of private property onsociety. A society rank with suchconditions is an unjust society. A so¬ciety rotten to the very core of it.s''tincture cannot justify its con¬tinued existence. So I say that revo¬lution is justified at the time when theenslaved working class ri.ses up todestroy this crumbling system ofcapitalism in order to create a new>ocial order free of clas.ses, privateproperty, exploitation, war, and pov¬erty. And liberty, the ultimate end ofsuch a revolution, justifies itself.

No doubt theyj would have been shocked. PerhapsI the recent recognition of the “bull ses-j sion” as a legitimate method of argu-I ment would have been a blow to their jconception of the dignity and formal¬ity of discussion. But, the “PajamaParty” would have unconditionallytaken the proverbial cake.“Pajama Party” is simply the titlethat the Debate Union has bestowedupon the feminine version of the oldbull session.W'omen Want Fun TooWhen Union men took the historicbull .session and put it on the radio,the DU women, of course, were notgoing to be satisfied until they toocould have some fun. And the resultwas the “Pajama Party.” The nameis the product of much brain sweat,but, as yet, it does not enjoy unani¬mous approval. Alternatives might be“Cow Session,” “Hen Party,” or“Sewing Circle” for examples.Nearly 20 girls have been practic¬ing “Pajama Party” technique fortwo weeks with a great deal of zest.Assistant Debate Union Coach PaulHa/I.to are open to anyone who wishesi'^nd. Goodman seems to think that theyhave been producing good results.Certainly, if there is any validity inthe time-honored feminine tradition offree and fluent speech, the experimentshould be a great success. The girlshope to give it the place in the worldnow held by the bull session. Thequestion is whether girls can “pajamaparty” faster than the boys can“bull.” The girls may get the chancethey’re looking for next quarter, sinceat least two radio stations have showninterest in their efforts.Classified AdsDISCOUNT ON AUTOMOBILE CREDITSTIi«* University is offerinK tor sale throuBhthe PurchssinK Department two Ford creditsvalued at 160.00 and $50.00 each respectively.These can be purchased at $30.00 and $26.00each respectively.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1938THE DAILY MAROON SPORTSSide GlancesAt I-M's« « *By ERNEST LEISERWith the cheering scarcely died outout from the Barrister upset of theDekes, Intramural Director WallyHebert and his faithful referees wentinto a huddle and came out with theirannouncement of the all-universityall-star intramural touchball players.* 4> *The first team consists of two mem¬bers of the winning Bar Associationsquad, Chuck Longacre, former Po¬mona College football star, and JimBrown, ex- of Beloit, and best new¬comer to the intramural gridiron.Paul Barnes was the lawyers’ addi¬tion to the second team, and threeother Barristers, Adams, Goldberg,and McK inlay received honorablemention.* * *Two Dekes also won places ofhonor on the first team. Bob Brown,who ran rings around the Alpha Deltsin the fraternity finals, and Bill Mur¬phy were selected to join the elitetouchballers. We think the decisionto put Bill rather than Chet on thefirst team was a mistake. Thereshould have been a duplication of men—an eight man team in imitation ofthe two man Homecoming Kingscheme. But Chet was selected on thesecond team by the sages, along withtwo other Dekes, Cliff Graemer andNorm Hollingshead.The Alpha Delts, who were sup¬posed to win the University title ac¬cording to the form sheets, alsoplaced a pair of their leading lightson the first team. Johnny Krieten-stein, who was mainly responsible forthe Alpha Delts’ phenomenal showingin the early part of the season, andBill Runyan, Alpha Delt leader lastyear and perennial all-star, were thetwp AD Phi’s who made the selectionof all-stars an almost exclusive Bar-rister-Deke-Alpha Delt team.The only outsider who was able tosqueeze into the aristocracy was JimBell, flashy Psi U, whose playingkept his fraternity in the running thisfall. He and Bud Daniels were theonly Psi U’s mentioned an the all-star squads. It’s a far cry from theyears in which the Psi U’s dominatedthe all-stars almost as much as theydominated the games.* « *All-star hangovers from last yearinclude Bell, Runyan, and Longacre,who was the only non-fraternity manto make the grade then. In the opin¬ion of Coach Hebert, none of these orany of the current best players weregood enough to join the list of all-time all-stars that he has made up.These men include Yates of Pi Lamb¬da Phi, Alger, Hoaglund, and GeorgeLott, of Psi U, Gist of Phi Kappa Psi,Marven of Phi B D, and Cody of theMacs.

Highly probable asstandouts are Dave Wiedeman, JackPlunkett, and Bob Wasem.The puzzle behind the forward hasonly swift John Davenport and slowCarl Nohl as part solution. Up fromthe reserves, George Crawford, phan¬tom hipped halfback. Bill Kimbel,Wally Ottomeyer, Charles Bambe, andBob McNamee are possible answers.The much discussed freshmansquad, called by Coach Tommy Flynnthe best A. B. (After Berwanger)will contribute a pair of standoutguards Kenny Jensen and Bob Thor-burn, a 190 pound tackle from Cali¬fornia, is another of decided promise.Backs from the same source whoare looked upon with more respect bythe coaching staff than by occasional For the first time in touchballhistory since 1924 an independentteam has copped the Universitychampionship. Usually the fraternitywinners have walked all over theiropponents in the University playoffs,but the Bar Association outUt madehistory yesterday with a 13-6 triumphover the Dekes. The Psi U’s won 7-0in their third-place playoff with thePhi Delts.In the last three tourneys thelawyers have been finalists, but thistime they overcame the “always bestman; never the groom’’ complex withtwo touchdowns in the first period, alead which was large enough to staveoff a desperate second-half rally onthe part of the fraternity men.About half way through the open¬ing half, the Bar Association forgedinto the lead when Jim Brown scoredon a pass from Longacre. The tryfor the extra point was no good.Lawyers Intercept PassShortly afterward, following thekickoff, the Dekes had the ball deepin their own territory, and GrantAdams leaped high in the air to in¬tercept a Deke pass. He then flickedthe pigskin to McKinlay who wasstanding in the end zone. The con¬version, a short pass over the goal,was good.After the intermission, the Dekescame back strong, and after beingtemporarily stopped by the alert de¬fense of the law-school team, shookloose the Murphy brothers, who be¬tween them manap^d to get the ballto Bob Brown, who had eluded theBarristers’ safety man.The lawyers elected to kick off,and that decision was very nearlydisastrous, for their opponents hadwhat looked like a golden opportunity ito even the score, but Norm Hollings¬head muffed a long pass in the endzone.The Bar Association had the Dekeoffense stymied and forced thefraternity men to kick. They ran thepunt back to about the Deke 40-yardmarker, and in four plays had movedup to the 20, but there Bob Browm,the man who was the Alpha Delts’nemesis in the finals of the frater¬nity league, snagged a stray pass andenabled his team to keep the wolfaway from the door, at least tempor¬arily.Deke Touchdown Scored BackTaking advantage of this break,the Dekes went on to score a touch¬down, only to have it called backwhen the referee ruled that ChetMurphy had been tagged. The Dekesthreatened only once more, but thelawyers’ defense held, and the gameended with the Bar Associationteam in possession of the ball deepin their opponents’ territory.In the game which settled the tiefor third place in the fraternityleague, the Psi U’s, led by the fieryJim Bell, took the Phi Delts intocamp 7-0 when Stevens scored on apass in the second period. Buttoncaught a pass in the end zone tomake the total seven. A round-robin table tennis tourna¬ment open to only novice freshmenin order to give them opportunity toplay men of their own caliber willbe run off Saturday in the ReynoldsClub game room from 8:45 in themorning to 8:45 at night.In this type of tourney, limited to25 players, each man plays everyother man, the winner being theplayer with the most victories. Thus,with no elimination an entrant canlose a match and still remain in thecontest. Three prizes bought with theentrance fees of 15 cents are a Chi¬cago banner for first place and twopennants for second and third place.A charge of five cents per matchplayed or two and one half cents aplayer is made.The following Saturday a like tour¬nament for top flio'ht players will beheld. Several of these tournamentswere held during the summer quarterand proved to be very successful ac¬cording to Bill Boehner, Reynolds Clubgame room chief. Dolphin Club; Plan Reorganization“As a result of a comparison of theUniversity Dolphin Club, men’s swim¬ming fraternity, with the DolphinClubs of other Big Ten universities,officers of the organization haveagreed that a reorganization of theClub is eminent,” stated James And¬erson, president of the local DolphinClub, in an interview’ today.According to Anderson, in the pastthe Club was one of the most activeorganizations on the campus. In re¬cent years, however, due to laxnesson the part of its members, it hasdeclined in importance until questionhas been raised as to the feasibilityof its continuance.Make Several ChangesAnderson declared that henceforthpins would be issued, regular com¬pulsory meetings listed, a publicityagent appointed, and an active pledge-ship for its rushees conceived.Membership to the National Dol¬phin Club is upon demonstration of excellence in water sports, goodsportsmanship, and by recommenda¬tion of swimming coach, Edward Mc-Gillivray, for consistent and well ap¬plied endeavor. The function of theorganization is to further the interestin swimming and water sports.Each year the Dolphin Club pro¬duces a water-carnival. This yearthe carnival is scheduled for Decem¬ber 7 and 8. In an effort to improveupon last year’s affair, five member.sof the fraternity, upon invitationfrom the Iowa Dolphin Club, journey¬ed to Iowa City several weeks agoto w’itness the University of Iowawater-carnival. New idea.x werebrought back for use in the Decem¬ber festival.fHEADQUARTERS*lor UTEBATUBE. MUSIC. AST ol SmSOVIET UNIONPUBUCATIONS IN ENGLISH;MOSCOW NEWS, niuatrattd,weakly editions.
