IT LOOKS LIKE
A PUSIIOYEIt, BUT
Wild enthusiasm reigns in Vi
enna streets as frenzied throngs
greet the new ruler triumphant,
Adolph H'Uer, who shouts to the
more than 100,000 hysterical fol
lowers thronging the square be
fore his hotel, "The German reich
is inviolable; no one can shatter
it!" Through a city swarming with
hundreds of thousands of cheering
Austrians, der fuehrer is driven in
jubilant procession "in the crown
ing act of his consolidation of the
German empire from the Baltic
to the Italian border."
But there were those who did
not rejoice. Within the city some
100,000 Jews lie in terror and
appeal frantically to the Polish
and other consulates for visas
permitting them to leave the
country. Their business are
seized, and, within the space of
three days anti-Semitic edicts
are passed which equal those
which took Hitler three years
to effect in Germany.
"Church bells pealed for a quar
ter hour from the time der fuehrer
crossed the city limits."
But there were those to
whom the irony of the church
bells was only too apparent.
Throughout the land Catholics
met the inevitable with an air
of resignation. Socalists were
hopeless.
"Factories, their staffs working
at top speed, could not turn out
enough nazi emblems to meet the
demand."
But the nazi imblems were
worn by official order by every
"Aryan" who could procure one.
Austrians rejoiced but what
percentage by official decree?
Premier Mussolini gives Kitler
his personal assurance of Italian
friendship. Italians are suddenly
forced by decree to alter their
thinking from a guarantee of Au
strian independence to endorse
jrent of Austro-German union.
But Rome eyes with anxiety
the extension oi the Hitler re
gime to the Brenner pass, the
very gateway to Italy. Rome is
already growing cautious over
further nazi moves in central
Europe, and will resort to Italo
British collaboration before per
mitting further nazi encroach
ments in Europe. For Italy, too,
could use some of the lead,
graphite, magnesium, and cop
per resources which der fuehrer
has taken without resistance.
It looks like a push-over
But Czechoslovakia, wedged
In the midst of the new all
powerful" German reich, is
ready to fight at the first sign
of encroachment on Czechoslo
vakian soil. And, while Czecho
slovakia would be only another
Belg'um before a wave of Ger
man military strength, vast
French and Britifh rearmament
programs cannot vorever be cast
aside. There was not so long ago
another "Fuehrer" who, the
German people will remember,
also shouted, "We are inviol
able! No power on earth can
stop us!"
A Reply
To Otlo Woerner
To the Editor:
I am a Greek: One facetiously
described as a biological accident,
one who welches off his parents,
squanders his money, drives a
fancy car, bluffs his way thru law
college by rending fraternity exam
files between times of haunting
formals and hotel rooms, frequents
beer parlors every night, and can't
enjoy riding on a street car or
smoking anything less than a pipe.
Actually, as a very average
Greek. I resent the above descrip
tion. True,, this may well be said
of some Greeks: A very small mi
nority I am glad to sav. Similarly,
the same might be applied to a
minority of barbs and even air.
Woerner must grant this.
Writing from the standpoint of
one fraternity, here are some
(vital) statistics, and a general
examination of other fraternities
yields approximately the same re
sults. Ours is a chapter of 50 men
and out of this number, 28 men
are either working their way
partly or in the whole. Out of
these 28, 18, of which 10 are mak
11 of their own expenses, are
'iing at the present time. The
J i ten of the 28 worked prior
iu coming to school and are now
going mainly on money earned
during that time. I must explain
that these figures do not include
those working during the summer.
Can Mr. Woerner persist in saying,
then, that fraternity men were
born with the proverbial silver
insult to try to instnict htm in
them. .
In conclusion, I would like to
remind Mr. Woerner that he owes
me a free ticket to the Liberty
theater. . ,

The snake-in-the-grass, air rwu
ert Cecil, was played by Robert,
Johnston. His part deserves no
comment other than Johnston
made a pood weasel. Armand
Hunter in the role of Sir Walter
Raleigh shone as long as he wore
his silver armor.
Hart Jenks continued his usual
style and gave a good perform
ance of Francis Bacon, and Claud
ine Burt outdid herself in the role
of Penelope. Changing from her
usual role of the practical secre
tary, Miss Burt flitted about the
stage, bowed jerkily, smiled arch
ly, and displayed an enchanting
schoolgirl love toward Essex.
Best shot of the production was
Queen Elizabeth cheating at cards
with Essex while she was telling
him of her love. Customary break
was the stumble of a guard as he
sedately marched down the steps.
Otherwise the guard.; were good
guards and did not move a facial
muscle the entire three hours.

On Publications Board.
It surprises me that anyone of
Mr. Woerner's intelligence could
possibly interpret (vital) statistics
as he has done. True. Greeks com
pose only 30 percent of the stu
dent body, and further they hold
SO percent of the rag publications
staff positions. However, as a
member of the publications board.
I must remind the reader, that SO
percent of the applicants for these
positions are Greeks; and, in ad
dition, that the slur on those who
make such appointments will be
very much resented by some of th
finest members of the university
faculty who sit on the board. Al
tho I doubt the statement that
Greeks make up only 5 percent of
the university uc-bate squads, ex
amination will show that such per
centage, whatever it may be, is in
propoition to the number who
compete in the tryouts. That
Greeks comprise half of the ath
letic personnel is not to be denied
and I have never heard complaint
of the high standing of our univer
sity in its athletic relations. On
the point of scholastic achieve
ments we cannot doubt that the
greatly multiplied activities and
extra-curricular woik tend to
place the Greeks as a whole only
on or around the all university av
erage; and yet they are not de
terred in developing Rhodes
scholars two in the past three
years and in placing men in high
positions in other fields of
scholastic achievement.
Social Advantage.
Mr. Woerner states that there
are no fraternities or sororities in
Gerrr.any because Germany will
not tolerate loafing students nor
"ignoramuses." I should like to re
mind Mr. Woerner that Germany
also looks with distaste on higher
education (aside from military
training i because of the threat
therein to the dictatorial policies
of the government. Need I pay
more ?
It would I appropriate to end
this letter with an enumeration of
the social advantage of fraterni
ties (and in a social world these
are advantages) or the ben-fits of
contacting and learning to meet
people; but Mr. Woerner, with h.is
intolerant and self righteous atti
tude, no doubt, now fully enjoys
these benefits and it would be an
said Mr. Curry, "illustrates the
way I liked to plow corn when I
was a boy."
As the artist showed a self por
trait hurriedly, he wisecracked.
"This is the old master."
Curry, born ih Kansas, is one
of the three great painters of the
midwest along with Thomas Ben
ton and Grant Wood. "Tornado in
Kansas" and "The Stallion" are
two of the more recent paintings
by the artist. "Reality," he says,
"is the basis of all good painting.
reality in form and life. I want to
paint real people, real cattle and
real corn."
The artist is now connected
with the University of Wisconsin
where he paints livestock in the
college's corrals, sketches of the
football men in action, inspires
Wisconsin artists and lends the
university cultural prestige.
The University of Colorado next
fall will offer a two year course
for the 53 percent who spend only
that amount of time in college.
11 IK IT! MALE NUDE;
FOKM AND SYMMETRY
Since man received his first les
son in art and civilization, it has
been almost certain taboo for him
to look upon the female Nude In
its real physical aspects. Its all
right for the averr.gc layman to
gaze artfully "Pn beautiful

tions rules have more oi

judges to allow him to go only Uiat

The department of fine arts
on this campus is having its
field day this week, then. There
is no doubt but what the classes
of sculptural education will be
more fully discussed than at any
other time during the entire
year. This is the week that the
unapprcciative, average student
looks to the fine arts department
and says: "I sure wish I could be
over there this week." It i the
common joking request of most
every student of sculpture in
most every organized house tha'.
he take a friend to class with
him. For this is the week of the
female Nude! And it's real too!
THE FIRST ROW GAZERS.
Because good society rules
against rich piactices, and be
cause of certain psychological ana
physiological effects, man, women
included, like to gaze upon the fe
male Nude. As a result, they spend
much of their hard earned (or fed
erally eranted) money to support
thousands of burlesque queens who
made the dubious beauty of their
bodv their livelihood. But only a
few of the spectators realize or
appreciate the art of form, bal
ance, symmetry, or harmony. Like
the student not taking culture,

era glasses to sat'sfy curiosity and
