 INITIAL BURLESK
Julie Bryan Really Ter rife; Murray and Carr
 Score as Comedians

Julie Bryan may not be the highest performer in burlesque, but she'll always be welcome in re- peat performances in Waterbury, judging from the appreciative man. ner her speciality act was accepted Monday and Tuesday as the high light of the 1942-43 season at Jac- ques Theater.
 Tall, blonde, winsome Julie, sport ing most becoming suntan which would put many all-year round Att lantic City residents to shame, ca- vorts about the stage like a dyed in-the-wool peeler and knows the secret of selling her wares.
 Paul Rich, harmonica player ex- traordinary, really goes to town in his numbers, especially on William Tells Overture" which draws un- animous applause. Paul obliges with plenty of encores and really gives the customers a run for their money.
 France and Lapel do all right for themselves in the applause de- partment in a novelty act where the girl cavorts on poles and bi- cycle held aloft by her male partner. The Shalatia Craig dancers, two men and a girl, offer a pleasing ballet number followed by a com edy number which is also easy to look at.
 Bert Carr, who looks as though teeth are under the rationing plan, and George Murray, shuttle dancer, draw plenty of laughs in their comical sketches, ably assisted by Lew Denny and brunette Eileen Hu- bert as straights. Titain- -haired Betty Coette also pleases as Q peeler.
 Next week Manager Jack Beck will feature Billy Fields, Ryan and Benson. Elsa Lang and Murray Green, harmony duo, and that vivacious lady of lovely looks, Pat Farce.

 LOWER DRAFT AGE
 THREATENS ENROLMENT
 Enrolment this fall is of seven per cent, but 8 lowering of the draft age to 17 or IS, which is be- lieved inevitable, would cripple the colleges.
 In England, where the draft age is IS 1-2, the technical courses are at fairly full strength. The "arts" departments are at about one-half their pre-war strength. The per- centage of women has risen.
 An enlisted reserve plan allows British students a one year defer ment. It is uncertain whether, in the academic year beginning next month, students in non-technical categories will be deferred.

War Seen AS Dire Threat to Universities
M RuRToN RENJANFIN

~NAf@--N NEA Service stan Correspondent
 Ann Arbor, Mich, Sept. 9--Uni- versailles, ike industry, are retocling, speeding up, casting aside peace- time products to turn out war I11a- terials. Higher learning must man. ufacture skills that can be utilized by the military and production ma chimes.
 Some educators face the asign- ment with misgiving. They see dangerous implications in the cole leges' new role.
 TRADE SCHOOL" TREND M WORRIES RUTHVEN
 pr. Alexander c. Ruthven, pres- ident of the University of Mlch- igan, is apprehensive lest the universities be converted into trade schools. He has criticized the "mis- guided zeal" of educators who would make war colleges out of our edu- cational institutions
 If we orient and rigidly align our students in war work" he ir- sists, i've will become trade schools. The universities have Q reSpor1si- bility to turn out citizens who can function in a democracy as well as fighting men,"
 The universities of the twenties soon will be as much of g relic as new tires, empty trains and the automobile show. Two important transformations are imminent to both student and to education.
 The student has gone through some startling phases since the last war. He zoomed through the roar ing twenties with the free-and-easy, raccoon- coated bravado so aptly chronicled by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
 The sobering effects of the thirt- ies brought forth the so-called "new social consciousness" ss"-one of the important precepts of which was anti-war.
 The veterans of Future Wars, Peace Strikers, the Oxford Oath, the lionizing of Charles A. Lind bergh and Senator Gerald Nye and "The Tanks Are POSITIVELY Not Coming" are products of this. decade. Its roots have caused lag in the college students realization of the war.
 POLITICAL THEORIES OUT FOR TOMORROW'S STUDENT
 The university, through some of its teachers, helped foster these views and encouraged @ sort ot negative pacifism.
 Certainly we taught that war is bad" says one professor. What we neglected to teach is that when a bunch of gangsters is on the loose, you had better be able to defend yourself"
 In times of peace, organiza tions like the American Stude:;1@ts Union, Young Communist L1gUe, Karl Marx Society, Socialists Fourth and, to 8 lesser de- gree, pro-fascist elements loudly espoused their particular causes. The campus generally viewed their pickering with disinterest. War has rendered these groups largely in- articulate.
 The campus student of tomorrow is going to be too busy for political theorizing. He'll be too busy for campus frivolities.
 "Every student this autumn" says pr. Ruthven, "is earn1arked, from the moment he arrives, for either a place in the Army or Navy or for a job in war industry. There are no exceptions"
 Literary students are going to take subjects they would have scoffed at a few years ago. Men and women are turning away from philosophy, aesthetics, mod ern literature, music appreciation and speech into map-making, trig-

Another goes to the effect, however
mundane it may sound, that there
still is money to be made out of re-

Still another is that, since play
