AMCHICAN R. E. OLDS HALL OF ENGINEERING For April, Nineteen Thirty-five Listening In • Renewed interest in the growth and progress of the College is evi dent at all alumni meetings this year. But the important thing is to see that the follow-up is prompt and ade alumni gatherings, quate. T h e se enthusiastic and enjoyable as they may be, will not accomplish their full purpose without a definite fol low-up program. Oftentimes we hear the remark, "Of course, we want to do something, but what can we do?" Here are a few simple things that local groups in many instances are doing, and permanent committees in other groups should be directing ef forts in one or more of these chan nels 1. Keep the alumni office inform ed of what members in your local club are doing. files 2. Help to keep the accurate by alumni record sending changes of address, notices of mar riages, deaths of grads and former students, etc. 3. Make some effort to call defi nite attention to prospective college students of the type that Michigan State should have. specific Send information to the registrar about certain students that are in a posi tion to aspire to college training. 4. Be ready at all times to prop erly interpret Michigan State to the community in which you live. There is the positive side, that of present ing the constructive things being done by the College. There is also the phase relating largely of correcting erroneous impressions about the Col lege that may gain currency from time to time. If you do not have the exact facts let us know. We will supply them for you or endeavor to secure them for you. Alumni can always be most helpful by dissem inating correct information about the institution. office 5. The alumni believes that graduates and former students ought to aid more in securing gifts to the institution. Don't allow any body to imagine that the state a p propriations are sufficient and that there would be no need of further funds, contributions. Gifts to loan scholarship library material—these and many other op portunities for giving are offered. 6. Support of a "definite" alumni program, of course, is understood.

REMER in Washington • UNIVERSITY professors have been in unusual number since March, 1933. Because of the overwhelming popularity of Mr. Roosevelt, their presence there did not arouse criticism in the beginning. But after some months, when, in Mr. Roosevelt's language, the people came out of their storm cellars, the voice of criticism and political debate was heard again. The criticism was naturally directed against the pro fessors. Some of it was so unfair as to be humorous. One editor said, for example, that "the President was rushed off his feet by his college professor". A state Republican platfcrm referred to "the sinister and hidden purpose of a so-called brain trust". Such fantastic charges are of course about as far from the truth as the opposite charge that business is engaged in some dark plot to put us under the lock of fascist dictatorship. But usually this and plotting the condemnatory attitude toward For example, the professor was more-understandable. the professor was a "theorist". Professors "spend their lives in mental acrobatics, planning that". Having" met no real problems, they regard the rest of the community as so many objects for experiment. And so we have frequent reference to "130 million guinea pigs". In direct contrast, however, one editor finds that the university brings out the very qualities most needed for carrying out new programs—unimpeachable integrity, ob jectivity, flexibility, and quick adaptability of mind. Mr. Ickes himself stated this idea strongly in^an address last June when he said that those who criticize and denounce are "fearful of brains that have undertaken to redress the social and economic abuses which we have too long en dured". • THERE YOU have both sides. The professor, on the one hand, is an ineffective theorist. The professor, on the other hand, is an objective scientist who will find and fight for the truth that is to set us free. But what actually has been the place of the professor in the New Deal? Since the New Deal is largely in the field of economics, let us select certain important features of its program, and then ask about each one, whether the pro posal came from the economist in the first place, and next, whether it had the approval and support of the whole body of economists in the country. Consider the plan for the restriction of agricultural pro duction. Agreement is general that the immediate source of this plan was a professor of agricultural economics in the University of Montana. Mr. Roosevelt gave the plan his approval about the time of the Democratic National convention in June, 1932. However, a study of this feature of the New Deal takes If farmers were ducing the so-called agricultural surplus. paid more per unit of output, it was difficult to suppose they would produce less. The crop restriction plan pro vided for the actual reduction of acreage. Many econ omists felt that long run restriction called for the retire ment of the poorer lands from production rather than gen eral limitation. Others felt that in the end more was to be expected from the revival of foreign trade. However, my purpose is simply to. establish conclusions, and from the evidence we know that the economists, that it carried some, but not general, approval as a temporary measure. the plan came from • THE SECOND feature of the New Deal lies in the field of monetary policy. Here we must conclude that no single policy was consistently pursued. Regarding the two most notable steps taken—the adoption of the Thomas amendment in April, 1933, and the rejection of stabilization at the London conference in July, 1933, no evidence is found that the economists were responsible. A third step was the adoption of the gold purchase plan in October, It is known'that Mr. Roosevelt had had conferences 1933. with Professor Warren of Cornell and other professors before the adoption of the plan. Economists must accept responsibility for the advice which led to its adoption, but they share this responsibility with the so-called "Commit tee for the Nation," a group which was powerfully in fluenced however by the ideas of Professor Irving Fisher. The final step—the adoption of the modifiable gold stand ard—was in part a rejection and in part a confirmation of earlier policy. What we actually got out of this was not a commodity dollar, but devaluation and a return to the gold standard. The commodity dollar was supported by relatively few in any of its forms. The plans to restore prices to a definite level by monetary means would be divided on devaluation and on the general plan for a "managed" currency. Therefore it must be reported that the currency policy of the New Deal came from economists, but that it did not carry their general support. Consider, next, how far the whole set of policies in dicated by the letters NRA came from the professor? The immediate origin of the NRA seems to have been a bill introduced in the special session of 1933 by Senator Black to limit hours of work. There followed a series of con ferences among lawyers, business men, members of Con gress, labor leaders, government officials and professors. It seems fairly certain that the professors played only a small part in the actual framing of the bill. Let us look then for the important groups in the background out of which NRA came.

Remer, professor of economics the University of Michigan, has written the above article as one of a the number the Contemporary Thought Series, sponsored by in in American Alumni Council for college and university alumni magazines.) THE FIRST of these was • business itself. Two plans were proposed—the Swope plan calling for the modifica- Page 6 Michigan State College Record tion of the anti-trust laws and the control of business by voluntary trade associations, and the plan worked out by a committee of the United States Chamber of Commerce, calling for the amendment of the anti-trust laws, for the encouragement of trade associations, and for the setting up of a National Economic Council. Both had been ad vocated before the New Deal was heard of. Both carried with them the idea of compelling the recalcitrant minority to join, and both came from business, not from the profes sors or thie brain trust. There was the idea of economic planning, also the idea of creating purchasing power by a prompt and general increase of employment at higher wages, both of which were widely questioned by economists. There was article It origi 7 (a) which provides for collective bargaining. nated with labor organizations and with the Depaitment of Labor, but commands rather general support among the economists. But the NRA may be said to have come immediately from a small group in Washington, among whom the econ omists played a very modest part. Behind this immediate source were plans and proposals which came more largely from business than from any other source. In short, the NRA was created by business, with amendments by labor. is THERE ARE other features, but I hope enough • given here to destroy the false picture of the New Deal as a neat set of plans thought up by the armchair economists and foisted upon an unsuspecting American people and an innocent business community by an administration deceived by glib professorial talk. in Washington. Nevertheless, I am sure that there will be an increasingly important place for the professor In a society of increasing complexity, our political problems will more and more include difficult economic questions which cannot be solved by a mere agreement among ex perts, or political oratory, or by registering votes in Wash ington. The economist, the man with technical training and with knowledge of the subject, on the one hand, and the political representative of the people must get together, that a quality called statesmanship may be applied to public affairs. The advantages of such cooperation are so obvious, that sooner or later, it is sure to be tried. Alumni Board Praises Officials • THE EXECUTIVE committee of the Michigan State College association in session at the Union building, East Lansing, Michigan, hereby endorses and praises the action of President Robert S. Shaw and Secretary John A. Han nah for the effective, timely, and efficient manner in which they handled the proposed disloyal pacifist meeting as a part of a country-wide demonstration for April 12, 1935. We believe that it is one of the traditions and part of the creed of the alumni and former students of Michigan State college to guard the very foundation stone upon which our great school of learning indutiably is loyalty to the Flag of our Country and the Constitution of our Republic. is built, which We believe, moreover, that every student who matricu lates should take an oath of allegiance, and if he or she is not a bona fide resident of Michigan, should also pay a larger fee with matriculation than at present. We therefore, resolve that this meeting unanimously adopts all of the preceding statements and that our secre tary be instructed to transmit a copy hereof to President Shaw and Secretary Hannah and also publish same in full in the next issue of the RECORD, the monthly publication of the Michigan State College association.

When the smoke cleared away, when friendships which had endured many a trial had been for the time being shattered, when bargains had been made, broken, and made again, when front page editorials the State News on the necessity for voting had been written, the votes showed that David Cleary of Jamestown, New York, had defeated William Kirk- patrick of Plymouth in the contest for the coveted position of editor-in-chief of the State News.

Plans for the carnivaL which will be a part of the Commencement activity, are well under way. Traditional spring term senior parties will be in charge of another committee, while swing- out and other Commencement week activities will be handled by still an other group of outstanding seniors. Two additional committees, publicity and invitations, complete the total of five, the smallest number in recent years. Several obsolete' and useless committees were eliminated by Ottey to make for a smooth-running organ ization. Scoring victories over Boston uni versity, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York university, Rhode Island State college, and West ern Reserve university, the Spartan men's debate team returned to the Campus secure in the knowledge that its eastern invasion had been highly successful. Twelve schools in all were met, with five victories, and de feats at the hands of only Fordham and Partmouth. Other contests were no decision affairs.

Leaving on the last day of examinations for the winter term, Coach John Kobs took eighteen men, travelling by automobile, into the Carolinas. The opening game with Clemson college was the pitchers' performance with Johnny Berg, State hurler, issuing only lour hits for the afternoon. Nevertheless the southerners scored five runs and started the Spartans off with a 5-0 defeat. State batsmen secured only three hits off the op infield defense of the Spartans position pitching.

Playing at Furman college, second engagement of the southern trip, State bats resounded with eighteen hits and seventeen runs against their opponents' one run and eight hits. Arnold Parker playing in the outfield, con nected for four hits, scored three runs, batted in one run and stole two bases to lead the attack. Al Kronbach, State pitcher, and Welch were the only Spartans going hitless. Steve Sebo, catcher, star halfback on the 1934 football eleven, connected for three hits as did Captain Arthur Rouse.

Milt Lehnhardt and Irving Bartling led the State attack with Bartling having a perfect day at the plate with four hits for four times at bat. After State tied the score in the ninth frame, both teams went score less in the tenth and the game ended tied at 7-7. The second and final victory for the green and white came in the fourth game at the University of South Caro lina. Arnold Parker stole this show with a near-perfect six hit, one run game on the mound and taking two of his own team's ten hits, in the win 5-1.

The pitching of Johnny Berg was of a very effective brand and the hits off his pitching were kept well-scattered.

Sebo led the Spartan attack with four hits. On the southern trip State o.uthit their rivals 50-42 and scored 33 runs to their opponents' 21. The uncertainty of defense was one of the biggest in the deciding factors in the Tosses. The State hitting was practically faultless with plenty of power being displayed. » THE HOME schedule was officially opened on Satur day, April 13; when the Spartans met the Hillsdale col lege.

State opened the attack in the first inning, scoring three runs off the pitching of Hogan, Hillsdale pitcher. A double and single in the second inning by Lehnhardt and Parker brought the total up to lour runs at the end of the second inning. Hillsdale found themselves in the fourth inning and drove Berg to the showers, scoring eight runs in that frame before he was relieved by Kronbach. There was no further scoring by either side until the seventh inning when Hillsdale brought another tally around the circuit ro make the count. 9-4.

John Hammer ran fourth in the 3000 meter grind to place again for State. • COACH C. D. BALL started his tennis squad on their season's way this past week when the weather cleared. Led by Captain Willard Klunzinger, the squad looked very good for the early part of the season. Besides Klunzinger, a major letter winner from last year, Coach Ball has the services of Donald Sexton, Richard O'Dell, and Robert Rosa. Coach Ball at present is working his men in an inter-squad tournament to determine the players for the first meet with the University of Michigan on April 26. in the second The Spartans spotted the Wildcats of Northwestern a 7-run advantage inning of the game on April 20 but Allan Kronbach again came to the rescue of Parker, holding the visitors scoreless for the balance of the game.

Track and Tennis • TAKING in the Armour Tech relays and the Central A. A. U. meets during the spring vacation, Coach Ralph to keep busy hanging up Young's trackmen managed records for themselves. The whole massacre took place when a brace of Spartans raced away from some of the larger schools in the distance medley and the 3,200 meters relays. Purdue formerly held the 3,200 meters relay record with the time 7:55.1. but this was whittled down to 7:54.1 by the fast-stepping State men. A new meet and American college record was also hung up by the Spartans when they set the new time of 10:24.5. The former record was also held by State men. Also in the Chicago meet, Wade Allen, blonde Spartan, began his rise to fame in the high jump, clearing the bar at six feet two inches to tie for second. Hovey placed fourth in the half mile in the same meet. The following week came the Butler university indoor relays, held annually at Indianapolis. The thinclads from State again took the limelight when they ran roughshod in the medley to set the time of 10:29.2 and take another record for the Spartans and from the Spartans of 1933. This year's relay team consists of Weaver, Hovey, Ottey and Hurd. Again Allen lifted himself over the bar at six feet five inches to win over stellar jumpers from Notre Dame and Ward of Michigan. Nelson Gardner, State distance man, ran on the heels of Sears, Butler champion, to take second in the mile run. • TO CAP the brilliant season on the indoor track, Coach Young took his thinclads to the Texas relays at Austin. This was the first entry for any green and white contingent, but the Spartans managed to tie for team title, winning 18 points as did Kansas State. State won the one mile team race by finishing all four men in the first six places, then with sufficient rest, the same men ran second in the Art Buss, the spark-plug of the Spartan line two years ago, returned to the Campus to complete those 15 credits and receive his sheepskin with the June graduates.

Early season answered by more practice is yet unorganized but it is probable that this year's line will be greatly strengthened by the likely num ber of hefty frosh gridders that have reported and show evidence that they will develop into capable performers. The work to date has consisted mostly of signal drill, blocking, and passing. The scrimmages are the first indi cations of the rougher work ahead and the spirit shown gives evidence that these men will be well able to carry the football burden next fall. Several of last fall's per formers have been reporting some regularly. Such performers as Colina, Warmbein, Wil son, Brandstatter and others are getting much good out of the practice and promise to keep in shape by various means, track, and tennis. An initial practice game will be played within the next few weeks to give the squad a chance at duty under action. More time is needed for the new men to pick up the new plays and formations, but with another week or two they should be able to show some indication of the prospects for next fall's season. spasmodically and Page 14 Michigan State College Record ALUMNI AFFAIRS t h e re 1885 GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY REUNION Alumni Day.
