German Law Teacher
Schedules Speech
Dr. Richard Eilbott, former professor of law at the University of
Frankfurt in Germany, will present
the second in a series of five lectures on the general theme of "Dictators and Democracy" at 4 p. m.
Wednesday in the Law College assembly room.
The subject of Doctor Eilbott's
second lecture is "The Individual
and the State." He opened the
series last Friday afternoon, discussing ideology and its relation to
present day conditions.
Doctor Eilbott, who came here
early this year to study American
law and sociology, incorporates
ideas and experiences received from
some of the major universities of
Germany in his lectures. He studied
sociology at Heidelburg, philosophy
at Munich, church rights at Leipzig, and law at Marburg.
Dr. Amry Vandenbosch, head of
the department of political science,
through whom the lectures were arranged, said that Dr. Eilbott "has
unusual ability to interpret move
ments and ideologies, and in the
present state of the world these
lectures should be highly enlightening."
The remainder of the series in
cludes lectures on "Organization
and Government," April 28, "Law

pt

Prof.
of the department of journalism on
leave of absence this year at the
University of Wisconsin, is author
of one of the three featured articles
in the current Notre Dame Lawyer
in collaboration with Prof. Frank
Thayer of the University of Wisconsin.
Entitled "The Press and
Contempt," the article surveys the history of the subject and
briefly considers new problems raised
by photography and the radio.
In summarizing his study .Pro
fessor Plummer points out four
conclusions :
"First, the press does have its
ills, but there is no reason to believe
that a major operation by an out
side agency legislative or executive
is called for; second, although tlie
press enjoys a workable freedom
for reporting proceedings deaVnt;
with the administration of Justice
there has appeared a dangerous and
generally unnecessary extension oi
Judicial power to punish for con
tempt for publications outside o:
court on the ground that these
'have a tendency to interfere' with
the work of the court; third, the
press doesn't want actually to in
terfere with the administration of
justice, but . . . the administration
of justice needs the disciplinary
and reforming influence of the
press; and fourth, extension of
limitations upon the press, other
than by an enlightened judiciary, in
either reporting or camera work
outside the courtroom, would in
volve risks too dangerous to be
ventured."

Sherwood's Tovarich' Termed Fitting Climax
To Season Of Successful Guignol Productions
By VINCENT CROWULS
Subtle rendition of blended comedy, pathos, and sentimentalism
makes Robert Sherwood's adaptation of Jacques Deval's "Tovarich,"
running currently at Guignol Theatre, the outstanding play of the
year and a fitting climax to a season of successful productions.
Overcoming the hackneyed comic
device of two Russian aristocrats,
refugees in Paris following the Russian revolution, who anonymously
accept positions as servants to protect four billion dollars entrusted in
them by the Czar, the performances
of Frank Fowler as "Prince Mikal
Ourtieff" and Dunster Foster Pet-tas "Grand Duchess Tatiana"
warm the heart at one instant and
provoke laughter at the next.
Especially commendable
is the
character portrayal of the Grand
Duchess by Mrs. Pettit. Returning

1 his year IVan Jones,
feeling that Hell Week
activities should Ite in rt ailed so as not to interfere uiili lass work or reHecl unfavorably on
the Cniversiiv. apjKiinied a fat tilt y committee
to draw up surest ions lo present lo the fraternities themselves. This was done and a sjienal
student committee treated lo consider the pro-salthus made.
In the list of article rontained in the student
oinmiiiec's iexit. almost every suRgesiion of
the faciiliv committee has heen complied with.
In older lo see that these measures are enforced,
Council, which assed the
ihe
proMsals, states that it will send a committee
Coun-il- .

In making Mich a statement the Council has
taken a burden onto its shoulder. It is making
itself resjionsihle for any infraction of the rules
whith might he committed at any lime during
the week at anv of fifteen fraternity houses. This
is a noble project, and commendable, but difficult. It is to be hoied thai the council tan
abide bv and enforce its rules.
I'crhaits it would be advisable, at a time When
Hill Week is a major campus issue, for the
Council to suggest thai a vote be taken by each
chapter lo see whether or not ihe members actually want Hell Week lo be continued. It it
probable, as in the rase of the SPEs, that some
fraternities will voluniaiilv decide lo discontinue the practice.
Then, with each organization's stand on ilie
matter clarified, the muddled situation may be
made simpler, and the individual chapters made
aware of the necessity for cooperative action.

If We Ever Awake

At least two different groups meeting ihis past
k had as one of their purposes ihe imrove-l- i

u i ol teaching on the University campus. One
of the grous, the Committee on Improvement
of Teaching from the Arts and Sciences college
submitted its report at a faculty meeting yesterday. The other group, composed of about 15
students and a like numler of professors, met
Saturdav afternoon io discuss campus problems. Among these problems, the principal
relations, leachstress was laid on student-faculting methods, campus democracy, and means of
improving the general student attitude.
Briefly, results of both meetings or seriei of
meetings strongly indicated that too many
are unaware of Ihe increasing student
sentiment in favor of higher scholastic requirer

Although it is impossible to touch on the
manv and excellent points noted in the Arts
and Sciences reoit. it is certainlv discouraging
to tealie that out of 22 enquiries sent lo mem-lier- s
of this faculty, only 13 had interest or
"lime" enough to reply, and two of these were

There is constant talk of division and "squabbling" among the studeuis. and ihere is the

Put the division
among the students, and the other division
between faculty and students, seem to us no
worse than the bickering and iMejudices among
the instructors themselves.
Tot instance, it was suggested at the joint
