STUDENT PULSE...
The other side of the
Sunday library problem
To the Editor:
Is there any reason why any
Btudent who wants a reserve book
to study on Sunday should not
make the effort to check the book
out Saturday at five for the whole
week end?
A survey of the students who
were i-'ei viewed does not verify
the contention that the library
should be open on Sunday as you
will discover if you will rend the
replies over carefully (begging to
differ with you)! Reread them...

than any other group? As for
paying them extra, which would
be the only way to handle over
time, the budget has been cut
down so much now that it barely
covers the present operating ex
penses. The library, for the bene
fit of our editor and staff, used
to be open on Sunday afternoons.
The operating expenses of keeping
the building itself open were as
much as the salaries paid to staff
members working on Sunday.
When the first drastic cut was
made in the University budget, the
Sunday service was considered as
the one service which could be dis
pensed with most easily without
disrupting the whole set-up, be
cause the library had fewer pa
trons on Sunday than on any
other day or evening of the week.

number of reserve books checked
out during the afternoon waa just

talking about such matters as ex

even a new library. Kaye Hunt

Hertzler analyzes factors
contributing to dictatorships
In an analysis of the casual and
contributory factors of dictator
ship, Dr. J. O. Hertzler, chairman
of the department of sociology,
said that sick democracies or
democracies that have never
achieved strength or maturity
have been willing to accept dic
tatorship as a means of getting
action. His article was published
in the Sociology and Social Re
search monthly.
Hertzler has completed a case
study of 35 famous dictators, from
the early Greek and Roman world
to Hitler and his contemporaries.
In his article he points out that
democracy operates by a majority
rule while dictatorship functions
supposedly by universal rule. He
well habituated to democratic
principles.
A multiple party system raises
unsurmountable barriers to .the
pursuance of a firm, consistent,
stabilized executive policy, is
Hertzler'8 belief. Under such con
ditions, he says, the public temper
grows restless, and the executive
authority, almost of necessity, pro
jects itself into the situation,
usurping powers not constitution
ally belonging to it.
Parliamentary machine slow
In Hertzler's opinion the modern
parliamentary machinery tends to
be slow, cumbersome and ineffi
cient, especially in times of crisis,

states that dictatorship, when pro- and Germany lacked the necessary
posed, promises to stand above the
interests ct persons, factions, par
ties and institutions. For these
reasons the members of a demo
cratic .stalemate have turned to
autocracy as a means of getting
action.
People politically illiterate.
The sociological educator indi
cates that, in general, dictatorships
have flourished best and most fre
quently where people have had no
extended training in popular gov
ernment. Both Mussolini ami Hit
ler, he notes, have attained power,
not so r.iuch through their own
statecraft, as through the political
illiteracy of the Italian and Ger
man people, neither of whom were
dynamic qualities, and when con
fronted with a multiplicity of
problems, including the rise of
revolutionists, they were unable to
throw off their inertia. The dic
tatorships came to power partly
because of the leaders of the gov
ernments that were overthrown
had lost all confidence in their
ability to lesctie their countries
from the despair and complica
tions of control, and partly be
cause they did not have ftie will
to fifcht or the support necessary
to make a fight.
