It would be easyto elect a stooge at the end of thesecond term and come back after thatinterval.”No St«M>ge in 1940“I’d like to see Mr. Roosevelt at¬tempt to elect a stooge in the comingelection,” General Johnson said. “Ithink he could be elected, but I don’tthink he could elect a stooge and Idoubt very much if any presidentcould.

President Kenn. tl,Nordine was practically jubilantTryouts ImportantBut the tryouts, althoupth imp i.taut in placing: voice types, weiv notintended for casting:. Recordinprs ,,fall will he made in the near futu-,.The Youth Committee Against War hasgone on record against the “undemocraticmethods of the Communists,” The “double-cross which the Communists staged at thePeace Strike” has left the YCAW bitter, and,as a result, they refuse “to participate in activ¬ity with any Communist-controlled organiza¬tion of the future.”The nature of this “double-cross must havebeen peculiarly drastic to provoke such explos¬ive response. However, in Friday’s peace strikeno outward sign of the inward turmoil waspresent. Professor Schilp, speaking for the So¬cialists, and Shaemus O’Sheel, of the Com¬munists, seemed in surprising accord. Theyboth denounced British propaganda and politic¬al ends. Each championed the cause of peacewith equal vigor. All seemed smooth on thesurface.But according to the YCAW, O’Sheel, in¬stead of discussing planks of the Peace Coun¬cil’s program, as the Communists had prom¬ised, turned the Peace Strike into a tool forCommunist propaganda. However this may be,the fact remains that the pacifists, Socialistsand Communists each had a representative onthe program capable of disseminating what¬ever propaganda he chose. Thus the validity of |the immediate reason for the YCAW’s indict¬ment of the Communists is somewhat diminish¬ed. What becomes most important is that theYCAW is the first campus organization tostage openly a withdrawal from “Communist-controlled’’ activities. The immediate reasoncannot be all.To understand this move it is necessary tounderstand certain events of the past month. Amember of the YCAW was nominated for pres¬ident of the ASU by the Liberal group. Thismember was defeated by the Communist sup¬ported candidate. Immediately following theelection the Communists in the ASU initiatedsuch unpopular policies as the storming ofPresident Hutchins’ home over the Browderissue. Although in this case many Liberalswere in sympathy with the end, they did notapprove of the means chosen by the Com¬munists.It may be assumed that Communist tacticsduring Peace Council meetings awoke the samedisapproval. There must have been, in addition,something inherent in these tactics which wasimpossible to combat. Otherwise the YC^Wwas morally obliged to remain in the PeaceCouncil and attempt by their own means tocounteract those used by the Communists.This seems to have proved impossible in thePeace Council for the same reason that it final¬ly proved impo.ssible in the ASU. The enthusi¬asm of campus Communists is prodigious. Ifthey have ten members in an organization, allten will be present at all meetings; the Liberalswith fifty members might have only five pres¬ent. The Communists do the “dirty work” ofan organization in which they are interested,and, by dint of their work, become eligible forkey positions. At length by the formation of avoting bloc they gain control of the entire or¬ganization.This is, however, only a minor step. It isthen, if not before, that the Communists resortto those means which have made them so un¬popular with many: parading under the bannerof Liberal bodies while at the same time spon¬soring strikes, mass meetings and spectacularprotest drives.But these are the means the Communistschoose in achieving their ideal end.

If the latter course, already itaken by the YCAW, is followed consistently, jthe net result will be several Communist Cluboutposts each operating under a different “pro¬gressive” banner.Unfortunately, this course is only negative,and provides no positive platform for politicalgroups. Perhaps it is impossible to find Liber¬als interested and industrious enough to re¬tain control of the organizations they haveformed. Perhaps it is inevitable that the Com¬munists should always have an O’Sheel readyto speak when other groups can find no one.But if this is true, the only road left is con¬tinued repudiation.

This council"as built along brand new lines; first•f all. it was organized around inter-' 'ts instead of opinions. Secondly, itspurpose was to educate not only therest of the campus, hut the membersthemselves. Thus it was intellectual aswell as progressive, educational aswell as political.During the year many young under¬graduates became active in its pro¬gram. .Among them were conser\’ative |members of Political Union such as |lioh Roy Ruckingham and Dan Gauss,'liberal members of the ASU such as jMud Hanks and .Janet .Adams. Others Iincluded Chapel Union leader Rob]Moyer, A’WC.A President Ksther l)ur-■ke(‘ and co-op President .Joe Levinger. iI'hese could never have agreed on a ipolitical program, yet they could in-|vesfigate together and reach common |conclusions. IThe problems cotifronting the .ASU [have been discussed lately by the 1I.P(', some of whom are members of jthe “liberal” caucus. They have gone•'*0 far as to draw up reasons whythey think the .ASU failed, and toform constructive suggestions for fu¬ture progressive action on campus.Their leport will reach the campuswithin the next two weeks.RC Bridge TournamentRegistration for the Reynolds ClubMridge Tournament, which is spon-.sored by the Reynolds Club Council,closes next Monday.

Last year they tied for ninthwith Wisconsin.After winning six straight games,against small schools, the team hitthe skids and rapidly against toughcompetition.With the exception of the NotreDame game, Chicago has not played iBig Ten caliber baseball. Their field¬ing has been bad, their hitting w'orse.Sparky Calogeratos is having a greatyear at bat, but he can’t carry thewhole burden. The “Little Man” ishitting .500 for the season and is likea sewer on defense. He gobbles ev¬erything up that comes anywherenear second base.Jack Hurney and Art Lopatka areabout the only other regulars who arehitting with any degree of consis¬tency. Now that Jack is used to play¬ing against big teams, he has settleddown and is playing a nice game atshortstop. Lopatka is hitting welland is the best outfielder the team has.He has pitched well also but he hasrun into some bad luck in regard tohis support and is also prone to wildstreaks.Unless Coach Anderson can shakesome of the players up and makethem play the ball they are capableof, Chicago will finish last. Some ofthe boys who should know better arestill nervous against Big Ten competi¬tion. In crucial moments they forgeteverything that Anderson has toldthem. Potentially they are a goodteam; at present they are not.At Bat...WITH BILL HANKLAIt would be a lot of fun to bat theears of that ward of the news wakewe call Archie. But we probablycouldn’t do it. We’re only hitting .1,50these days and Archie’s ears are pret¬ty little. They don’t hear much either,especially things .Archie doesn’t want Ithem to hear. jYesterday in his entertai.nng col- jumn he was happy to tell the world ;that “ . . . There were four athletic idirectors in the Big 9V^ who were un-1willing to accept President Robert IHutchins’ ‘explanation’ of his standon inter-collegiate football...”That was a nice revelation, a bigscoop for Archie, but does it meanthat Chicago was voted half way outof the Big Ten. Archie says the BigTen is the Big 9%. If this is whathappened Archie might report it moreaccurately. We were left in, accord¬ing to Archie by a five to four major¬ity which puts us two-fifths out andthree-fifths in. Therefore Archieshould have said “Big 9 3 5.” But henever was a good reporter..Archie goes on to say that he onlymentioned the thing so everyone wouldknow “...there are at least four Big91/^ leaders who don’t run away froma fight.” Archie himself reminds usof the man who hates but is afraidto start anything. He manages tostay subtle enough to avoid a realfracas.Poor Archie would take a bad beat¬ing in a word battle with Hutchins,and his beloved other Big 91-2 schoolsmight get a smearing if they pro¬voked the University to open fire.Maybe the athletic directors are justplaying safe like .Archie.Hold Physical Ed.Meetings in IdaThe faculty of Ida Noyes Hall arehost this week to two Physical Educa¬tion conventions, and the rooms andhalls of Ida are full to overflowingas the teachers of physical educationand dancing attend conferences anddemonstrations.
