"Capitalism has lost all intellectualand moral justification," said NormanThomas, socialist leader, before alarge audience at the last ServiceLeague Convocation, April 5, 1932 inKnowlton Salon.Moral justification of capitalism is

no longer possible, Mr. Thomas be-lieves, because it has orougnt aboutpoverty through over-production, in-security, and an increased possibilityof war through rampant nationalism.Intellectual justification no longercorresponds to the facts, he said. Theprinciples of capitalism, rrugged in-dividualism, and the non-Inter-terenceof government in business, no longerexist.In summing up the possible out-

comes or the situation, NormanThomas mentioned' ru-st a "drift tocatastrophe," which would probablybe reached by a war beginning be-tween nations, then involving racialclashes, and the class warfare. Thesecond possibility is Fascism. "Thescene in America is set ror Facstsm."he Raid. "Only a demogogue to leadthe way is needed. 'phe Swope planis essentially Fascist." Mr. Thomasdoes 'not believe that such a systemwould necessarily resemble ItalianFascism, nCH' that it would do morethan postpone what he beHeves to bean inevitable collapse.'I'ht'ough the failure of Fascism, orh r-ough the approach of disaster theadvent or communism provides athu-d possibility. This would involvea revolu tto n or the proletariat led bya dictator and an organized and dis-ciplined communist party. The needfor a dictator and the uncertaintiesnvolved in his choice led Mr. Thomaso condemn this system.The final atternattve, and the one

which Norman 'I'homaa supports, isthe acceptance of i-evolu tlon ary plan-ning. Such a socialist 'regime wouldestablish common ownership 'of ma-chinery and natural resources anduse them for the common goodthrough control 'by cooperatives andthe g:overnment.

Dr. Sockman Tells How toReceive the Best of Life"Channels of physical sense, chan-

nels of intellect, and the channels ofemotion are the channels throughwhich we can go to Jesus to receivethe best of life," said Dr. Ralph Sack-man, Episcopal minister from NewYork, at the vesper services April 10.Dr. Sock man's theme was the BiblicalQuotation, "And ve will not come toMe that ye may have life.""In regard to the channels of physi-

cal sense which we follow," said Dr.Sock man, "Jesus makes us morealert to beauty, more sensitive tosuffer-Ing', and more awake to the deepand fine things of life." We needHim to save us from vulgarity andto make us alive physically.The industry of education has not

suffer-ed during the depression be-cause everyone has the desire to. keepmentally awake. Peop le leave col-lege with no one definite purpose inlife. Through Jesus a goal in lifecan be found.In the channels or emouon. Jesus

draws out the little emottonat traitsand enlarges them. He enables peo-ple to look at themselves withoutshame in after years. He is theMaster of Life. Dr. Sackman con-cluded by saying that he could im-agine Lindbergh's returning homeafter his good-will fiights, and no-ticing that his friends were stillwrapped u'p in the petty affairs ortheir small communities. Just asJesus, wer-e he to visit America todayand look at the people pursums theirpetty ways, would comment, so Lind-bergh probably thought, "That is notlife."

Gift To College PresentedBy D. A. R.

A gift of $1,500 has been gtven tothe college by the Connecticut Daugh-tel'S of the American Revolution forthe completion of the 'wasbtnetonMemorial entrance to the Arboretum.'I'he Daughters of the American Revo-lution originally gave $500 to be .usedin the construction of the ~ntrance,and this additional gift makes possibleits completion.The entrance, which is to be dedi-

cated in early June, th€ tentative dateset being June 7, 1932, is being de-veloped in accordance with plansmade by A. F. Brinckerhoff, a NewYork landscape artist. It involves asubstantial court area at the streetl€vel, with steps leading down fromthis to a secondary area where a seatwith a commemorative tablet mightbe placed. From there a walk willlead in a straight line to a point calledOverlook Plaza, and around this treeswill be planted.

MISS MARIAN WHITNEYDISCUSSES THE THEATRE"The li"ing drama as it is meant to

be acted on 'the stage, should be anagency tor culture and enlightenmenttor all the people," said Miss MarianP. wbttner- in a lecture given atKnowlton on Tuesday, Miss Whitnel'a trustee of Connectrcut College and aror-mer professor or drama at Vassar,spoke on "The part of the Theatre inNational Lite". In Germany and inFrance the theatre is an art which isnecessary for the welfare of the coun-tt-y, and is placed with the school andmuseum as an agency for good. ThIsis not true in America or England.The American theatre today is a

place of amusement for an especiallyfavored class. It is expensive, ts abusiness rather than an art, and is sorun that it has no vital part in the lifeof the nation. It Is not always anagency tor good. We need it as a uni-fying influence on our lives, a placewhere members of every class may go,we need it to bring out' geographical,racial, and cutturat gr-oups together.America might well imitate the Ger-mans in or-der to accomplish thts, ac-cordtng to Miss Whitney.In Oermn ny and an France, many

cities own a theatre, pay a s.ubsldy forthe running expenses, end have resi-dent actors who draw a regular salary.Prices are all low and 'there are specialrates for students. Many classicalplays are given as well as modernones, and Germany Is the uaradtso ofthe young playwright, tor two or threepremiers are given In each theatreevery year. 'Phere is never a run, fora certain number of plays and operasmust be given, and there is never thesame program presented each week.There is, furthermore, more steadyemployment for the actor, and agreater chance. for promotion.Germany shows what can be done

Dear Editor:The g-ener-a! consensus of opinion

Is that t·he student body did a bit toomuch crabbing 'just before spring va-cation about the amount of work sup-plied by the faculty to keep them outof mischief. I would like to say aword in our defe-nse. I do not thinkthat the complaint was really asainetthe amount of work but against thedistribution of it. When a girl goesto college- she does not expect to loafand she is willing to d'o the work ex-pected of her. What she does objectto is the uneven dlstrtbut lon of theWOrk t'h ro ug.hou t the year. Whyshould the bulk of the work of eachhalf semester- be all piled into thelast week or two? The majority ofthe courses 'Offered do this, with theconsequent result that the studentfinds herself deluged with term pa-pers and mid-semester quizzes twicea year. If it were in only One SUb-ject she might be better able to copewith the situation, but practtcauyevery course presents the same situa-tion, and each teacner thinks that hiscourse should receive ac least as muchconsideration as any other. This as-sumption is fair enough, and 1 thinkeveryone can see- the teacher's pointof view on that particular point. Itseems. h.owever-, that some adjustmentcould be wor-lcerf out whereby quizzesand long papers could be scatteredthl'oughout the semester- so that theyear would not be divided into pe-riods of comparative slack, and pe-riods of work of such an amount asto take up all ct one's waking hours,not to mention quite a rew of one'shours usually allotted for sleepingpurposes: Although I am not, pt-e-par-ed to offer the sotutton to thisproblem, I do think it is somethingfor everyone to consider, because itis very obvious that the work is notevenly dtsutbuted throughout theyear.

How many are acquainted with ournew ping pong room? It serves adouble purpose in that it not only sup-plies an opportunity for recreation butalso acts as a metronome for those inthe near-by practice rooms. Thecttcktng of the balls on the table 1smost rhythmical. Drop in for tea on ThursdayThat the college will vote the. Bo-

cialist ticket next fall with few if anyexceptions is beyond <the shadow of adoubt. Who could resist the silverytongued orator who grnced our cam-pus a few nights ago?

Someone should prepare the in-firmary for a deluge of stud-ents wIthsttrr necks. Spectators in the pingpong room get considerable exercisefollowing the courae of the ball fromside to side, One of the lesser questions which

confront us is what becomes of ournewspapers which accumulate overvacations? We hope no one tamperswith the U. S. mail.

It is gratifying to see that somepoor unemployed mole has been givena job supplementing the tunnels thatalready undermine our campus. Hisexcavations are directed across thequadrangle. Perhaps he could be in-duced to cr-eate some sort of coveredpassageway from Knowlton to thedining hall. It would come in handyin rainy weather,

Note: Red White is nowpedalling our bicycle aroundcampus, so you'd better watchout. She's a cra-fty girl, ourreporter.

Those of us who possess goldfishwere welcomed home with open arms.Any fish would be glad to see even theleast of us had he not eaten for tendays. We hope that the fish whospent their vacations on campus willnot have suffered mentally from thequiet and solitude.
