Friday, November 9, 1934 ENLIGHTEN US, MR HEARST Arrogant nationalism, personified by William Randolph Hearst, is to be submitted to a thorough examination of principles and ideals through a ques tionaire sent to the publisher by the Association of Col lege Editors. Every movement searching for a way to preserve the peace of the world has to confront the militant nationalism especially advocated by this man in the United States. In a recent interview, Mr. Hearst challenged Americans with the statement, “If Americans have not lost their common sense and balance of judgment entire ly, they will stop following sweet singers and smooth talkers some day, and settle down calmly and reason out a few things for themselves.” That challenge was ac cepted by the Association. It is dedicated to the stimula tion of interest of students throughout the world in pro moting international understanding and cooperation in the hope of ultimately achieving and insuring interna tional peace and security. One of the most pressing of today’s problems is the controversy between the Nationalists and Interna tionalists. A series of questions, compiled by Sir Norman Angell, being considered for the Nobel Peace Prize this year, was chosen. They were re-phrased to fit the American situation, after Lord Beaverbrook, publisher of the London Daily Mail and British counterpart of Hearst, had confessed them to be “too big a proposition, for me.” The nine questions submitted to Mr. Hearst com pose an enormous catechism. It is thought it will be quite as difficult for him to refuse a reply as it will be to compose an answer. In brief, Mr. Hearst is asked: “Do you realize that to pile on our already shaken economic system another conflict will finish off the present order in chaos? “Do you think that the old armament competition is to be prefered to international agreement or organiza tion? “How shall the defense of two nations be managed under the competitive plan since the security of one means the insecurity of the other? Is there some system by which each can be stronger than the other? “Will not rivals resort to alliance making if America makes herself stronger than the rivals? If so, why should not America utilize this arm adding to the nation’s power? “Do you believe that a creditor nation such as America can continue to pursue the policy of isolation in this modern day? “Although free of general or permanent commit- ments, America was drawn into the last war. Do you think America could have kept out, that her entrance was a mistake? “If so, would you have regarded the creation of an hegemony so preponderant that America could not have resisted any demands that it cared to make, with indif ference? If so, why trouble about armaments at all— if it is a matter of indifference that combinations, much stronger than America, should arise? “If, on the grounds of national security, America cannot accept the preponderance of a foreign combina tion, why should other nations accept ours, especially as an Allied preponderance resulted in what you termed “the utter injustice of the Versailles treaty?” “Suppose the only possible alternative to the see saw balance of power, by which the precarious defence of one nation is achieved by the depriving the other of all defence, was for both to pool their power to secure the observances of a common rule of international, life, like arbitration of disputes? On what grounds do you differ from this view?” Mr. Hearst’s answer will make interesting reading. AN INCREASING NUMBER-of students here, forced to contribute fifty cents a year towards the support of the debating team, are beginning to question the need, and the value, of the subsidy. The debating team likes it—they have such a fine bedrock of financial support that the Forensic Council has a Teal problem in finding ways to spend all the money—some $2500 per year. Ways have been found for this year—next year, unless debates here improve materially over the exhibit of Monday .night, thy may no longer have the problem on their hands. The debating team was awarded the subsidy by student vote; a student vote can easily remove it. TURN ABOUT We went home over the weekend and, as usual, hed to put up with him. There was nothing about us that was right and we might as well stop fooling our- selves. We went off into a corner of the living room and vehemently scrawled away. We returned and handed him the following: Oh, why must you flourish and about Of things you know nothing about; Must tell us the ‘why,’ the ‘wherefore’ and ‘when,’ On sujects demanding not children but men? Why must you cackle and grimace and strut And think any sane guy’s quite off his nut? Why must you always damage our days With questions and critiques and damn little praise? ..John E. Miller jr. ’36 Why must you make us feel like a bore Yet keep right on trying to tell you the score? Why can’t you act human and not like a pup? Why can’t you buy birthdays to help you grow up? We thought that had him stopped but when we went to bed we found his reply on the counterpane: Campuseer jr. Ml Who’s the boy who gives advice When it he should be keeping? Who’s the boy who is so nice Only when he’s sleeping? Who’s the boy who’s always shirking Saying that his mind is working? Who thinks he should be called ‘the Brains?’— The boy who should be bound in chains. Of course, you’ve guessed who long ago, But still, just so I’m sure you know, MY BIG BROTHER! We’re thinking about sticking it our through gummer session. CURRENT QUOTATION Judy Bernard! (1) “If I don’t make this chorus on my dancing I’ll make it on my body.” (2) “I agree with you perfectly. •Of course, I never listen to anyone.” (3) “ . . . and Steve (Hamas) says, ‘Shake your boy friend and come along with me;’ ” Campuseer: (1) What body? (2) We've heal’d you can read. (3) That’s not the story Steve told us. Libby Barton was dining at the Sigma Chi lodge recently and Pope Symington, eager to be the perfect host, spoke gracefully: ‘Before we partake of these delicious viands will Miss Barton be so kind as to deliver a few words of prayer and gratitude?’ We’d always suspected the Coy Egnigmas of concealing wicked souls beneath their wholesome, cornfed, faces, and now the truth is out. For there came forth no blessing. Libby clearly showed no acquaintance with the Deity. There was a long silence, much subdued throat-clearing, and then all suddenly sat and began eating without His sanction. We hope Claire Lichty sees this and takes the proper steps. CAMPUSEER BY HIMSELF Oh, Kid Brothers, Tell Us! To Big Brothers and Big Shots * * * * * 4 1 ****** THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN Varsity Debating Schedule Posted Westminster To Appear In Second Contest; Debates Listed Monday night’s debate with Oxford University opened the most extensive schedule ever undertaken by -Penn State debaters. This year’s schedule will include sixty-five debates, many of which have already been arranged. The next contest will be the first week of December when two teams will be sent to the westrn Pennsylva nia debate contest at Westminster College, New Wilmington. The regu lar southern, trip, which this year will include two contests, will take place in December. An innovation planned for this year Will be the holding of one ‘feature’ debate each month,, beginning in. Jan uary when the men’s team will meet the women’s team of Pittsburgh on the question, “Resolved, that the male college graduate with a minimum sal ary of $1,200 a year, should marry before he is twenty-five.” The feature contest for February will be another foreign debate, this one with the University of Hawaii on the question of granting statehood to Hawaii. In March, a debate on the nationalization of arms and mu nitions will be held with Wayne Uni versity, Detroit. Finally, in April, the men’s team will meet an outstand ing women's college, debating on the value of coeducation. In addition, the usual debates by both men’s and -women’s teams will be held on the campus with repre sentative colleges. Several of these' engagements will be in the form of intercollegiate forums, introduced so successfully by this college last year, and others will be held before neigh boring high schools and organizations Extension Students Attend Syracuse Game Eager to see their Nittany Lion football squad in‘action, twenty-four students enrolled in the Penn State undergraduate center at Hazleton, chartered a bus to attend the State- Syracuse game last Saturday.
