carothers sees recovery with or without aid from government a return to prosperity in spite of fear and unrest abroad and at home and the shadow of gov ernment hanging over business was predicted by dr neil caroth ers dean of the college of busi ness administration in a speech before the annual luncheon of the salsemen's asociation of the paper industry held at the waldorf astoria hotel last tuesday outlining the economic history of the nation since the world war dr carothers said that the reces sion of 1937 had been accentuated by foreign unrest quick rises in prices at home and unwise gov ernmental policies in the fields of labor taxation currency and spending unrest remained abroad cur rencies were unstable and at home the railroad labor wage tax and agriculture situations were unfavorable to recovery he said with the building and heavy goods industries still sluggish investors were still frightened and the shows of government and inflation darkened the domestic picture industry stripped for action with all this recovery is ahead a vast consumer demand awaits its chance an enormous accumu lation of capital begs an opportun ity for honest profit under free en terprise industry is stripped for efficient action liquidation is complete a wise and far-seeing government could in a few weeks light the fires of prosperity but recovery will come with or without the aid of government even despite errors of government our economic system cannot be stopped war depression and un sound policies have hurt it but even these have not ben able to kill it the coming year should show an irregular but substantial progress toward recovery the luncheon was a part of the program of the annual convention of the american paper and pulp association and affiliated organiza tions

grant 30 from the roving fund of the stu dent activities fund to the inter national relations club and 25 to the town group after conferring for an hour and three quarters on the union peti tion the committee unanimously decided to deny the appeal it was feared that an action group such as the american student union would resort to such demonstra tions as strikes and boycotts to gain their ends the committee be lieved that such actions would bring unfavorable publicity to le high and embarass the university and that representative opinion of student leadership on the campus clearly opposed the proposition the representatives of student opinion were arcadia o d x and tau beta pi all three of these groups voted against the forma tion of a chapter of the society at lehigh asu officer

gowdy bus 40 the complete report on the american student union petition by the student activities commit tee follows the committee on student act ivities is charged with the respons ibility of passing upon all petitions to establish student organizations on the lehigh university campus its duty is to determine whether or not the proposed organization may serve wholesome and worth while objectives for the petitioners and other students who might later join the group it must also deter mine whether or not it is in har mony with the recognized morals interests and ideals of the univer sity as a whole decision made difficult when the proposed organization is clearly satisfactory or unsatis factory in these respects the de cision is easy to make but when representative opinion from con stutuent elements of the univer sity is not clearly favorable or clearly unfavorable or when the opinion of the committee on this question however certain it may be in its own mind is challenged by the petitioning group rather than to apppear to the petitioning group to be acting arbitrarily the committee may prefer to sample representative opinion before mak ing its decision since the actual number of petitioners is seldom large enough to form in any sense a representative sampling other means of sampling must be found submitted to groups it seemed to the committee that a sampling of student opinion could be most representatively and expeditiously secured by submit ting the question to such bodies of outstanding student leaders as the arcadia o d k and tau beta pi the delegates from the petitioners had no further suggestions to offer the petitioners representative who this fall first requested com mittee action on the pending peti tion agreed in conference to pre pare and present the petitioners case to these student groups above continued on page four and tommy dorsey and benny goodman miller has composed several well known hot pieces the most recent of these are doin
