TkwA, (RjoundufL By Norbert Mohnken FOES CRYING To the editor To the editor: I have always found the service in the Student Union entirely satisfactory, and I believe that a majority of the university students will agree with me. The letter from Mr. Ralph Combs which ap peared in your editorial columns Sunday, May 5, is a gross exaggeration and sounds more like the airing of a personal grudge than an intelligent and constructive criticism. Mr. Combs has succeeded with a few well-chosen adjectives in painting a vivid picture of conditions which do not exist at least not in the Student Union's Corn Crib. At times when the grill is crowded, the service is naturally somewhat slower and may cause a few unsympathetic, self-centered individuals to in dulge in uncalled for complaints about the incred ible slowness of the waiters. However, in compari son with other places on or near the campus, the Com Crib offers an excellent quality of service and food. The fact that the grill is so well patron ized is certainly a point in its favor. Mr. Combs refers in his letter to the condescend ing attitude of the waiters toward the student pa trons of the grill. The waiters are students them selves and are really a friendly bunch of swell fellows who when business is rushing may frown in attempts to keep orders straight, and this is only natural. In my opinion and in the opinions of others with whom I have talked, Mr. Combs was entirely too lough in his condemnation of the Corn Crib. Sincerely, Rosemary Atkinson. 4 44 ScAafL Shorn. The time for a freeze-out is near here. The theaters over the country are about to whoop up their refrigeration units. It gets so cold in most of theaters that the polar boar packs up and takes the wife and kiddies down to the states to spend vacation in our theaters. The Lear facts so to speak. Some say even the bears can hardly bear it. But bear in mind that bear is not bare. Yeah, barely. I remember my last visit to an air cooled theater. I walked in. They carried me out with a pair of ice tongs. It was terrible there in the frozen wastes. The main feature was "See the Sea." But the sea froze ever. They called in Sonja Henie and changed the title to "Ice Revels Number 1940 A." A good skate this Sonja. A gale that turned into a blizzard blew in from the northeast balcony. It got so cold that my trous ers froze into a sitting position. When I got up to leave, I didn't get up. I started to hop out in a sitting position, '.'"he other ten patrons in the place thought I was starting a squat tag game. They entered into the spirit of the thing. It was then that I gave up and settled back into a snowdrift to die. About that time a Saint Bernard and a Terrier eame romping up to effect the rescue. The Saint JJernard carried the "staff of life," the terrier the chaser. They rejuvenated me, but I was board. Stiff tz a board. They got a hold of the Ice man at the WITH HIS FOR HIS SCALP. Chamberlain was doing business at the same old stand, scuttling predictions that he would re sign immediately as the result of a none too con fident vote of confidence given him by the house of commons, Wednesday night. Speculation as to what the battered but defi ant prime minister would do were many today. One thing appears to have changed not in the least that being Chamberlain's determination to stay in office. As a temporary sop to his critics, Chamberlain may resign temporarily from his office, it being understood that he would Imme diately be reappointed to his position. Yet it ap pears rather doubtful that any such drastic action will be taken. What seems more probable is that the present prime minister may let the present wave of criticism subside somewhat, and then, after the furore has passed, may thrust out the olive branch to his enemies and reshuffle his cab inet, possibly including one or two members of the labor opposition. Such action, if it were to succeed, would bring about a coalition cabinet, and result in something approaching a party truce until the next crisis. UNDISPUTED POSITION It becomes increasingly evident that President Roosevelt will be in a position to name the demo cratic nominee for the presidency. As the returns from the various state primaries come in the po sition of the president as the undisputed leader of his party is made more evident. Elections in Cali fornia this week resulted in a six to one victory for the slate of candidates pledged to Roosevelt over the group pledged to Garner. Yesterday Mich igan democratic leaders announced that the presi dent could have that state's 38 delegates if he wanted them. At present the president has 350 dele gates pledged to support him out of the 480 se lected. In the event that the president decides to try for a third term, he could doubtless be nominated on the first ballot. If, on the other hand, he does not decide to run, it is equally certain that he, in view of the large number of delegates behind him, will be able to dictate the choice of his successor. NEW PAWN Jugoslavia today appeared to be the new diplo matic pawn. In Belgrade it was announced that a Jugoslav military mission was leaving shortly for Moscow, and this announcement according to some sources indicated that a military alliance was in the offing. Already a Jugoslav trade delegation is renewing commercial relations with the Soviet, and the latest announcement seems to indicate a closer rapprochement While the Jugoslavs appear to be turning to the Russians, the allies are at the same time wooing the Balkan power. Allied envoys were re ported to have assured Jugoslav leaders that Brit ish and French troops, planes, and naval forces would be sent to the country's aid in the event of an attack by the axis powers. The effect which the promises will have on the Jugoslavs is hard to guess.

Crisis foreruns dictatorship soys Sociologist Hertzler Logic of circumstances thrusts absolute pattern of control over people avers sociology review article Crises are a forerunner to dic tatorships according to Dr. Joyce O. Hertzler, chairman of the de partment of sociology, in his arti cle, "Crises and Dictatorships," which appeared in the April num ber of the "American Sociological Review." Expressing the view that "dicta torships have many striking and frequently recurring uniformities," Dr. Hertzler stated that dictator ships, regardless of their constitu tional or unorthodox nature, are a pattern of control which the logic of circumstances often tends to thrust upon people when certain crisis conditions prevail." Who's perfect? Acknowledging that "no group of society functions perfectly," he declared that "this academic dis order and inadequacy does not mean that a crisis situation exists ...Most social processes are car ried on with fairly satisfactory re sults. . .there are no demands for radical measures of readjustment or willingness to support them. "The soc ial crisis is due," the so ciologist continues, "to the disin tegration, the over-rapid expan sion of one or more of the stra tegic parts of the social system. Due to sonic dramatic event, the people become conscious of the situation. . .or a concatenation of circumstances. . .may occur with great rapidity and throw the peo ple into a panic." Hertzler con cludes that "the old control per sonnel, deep in its ruts of tradition and established practice, is unable to cope with the situation." With the coming of the crisis "there is a demand for solutions, for order... and a tangible. . .pro gram of action. The writer con tinues, saying "the great majority are willing to pay a price for these." Regimentation inevitable. As the situation grows worse, Dr. Hertzler asserts that "a sys tem of regimental behavior must be established. . .Hence, in time of crisis, a leader anl his aides. . .are often gratefully accepted and per mitted to arbitrarily reestablish the routines of social life." "Practically every dictatorship examined has been preceded by a period of confusion and emergen cy which terminated in crisis." To confirm his statement, the writer (See HERTZLER, page 6.)

Candid Clippings Morton Margolin Student Conclave dance committee members at St. Louis university tried out an idea last night that may solve the no corsage problem. Giving its spring formal, the Student Conclave, priced the tickets at $3. Trice of the ticket includes a free corsage for the girl friend. The dance was a supper affair. They signed Henry Busse to provide the music, and to top it all off the hop took place on the glass-enclosed decks of the Steamer Capitol on the river. see Students at Morningside college have done more than just talk about campus benutification- they got together yesterday morning and did something yesterday. According to the plan every student bringing about it. About two weeks ago they completed plans for "Kollege Kleenup Day" which was held garden tools to class with him was excused after roll call to go out and join a cleanup squad. Or ganized in a series of squads the students did some thing about realizing their dream of the campus beautiful. The Green Key society of Dartmouth university held a giant Giveaway last week as a prelude to their annual picnic.
